Chapter 89: The Long-awaited Rat King Appears
"set off!"
Mo Yu was full of enthusiasm and commanded the team to set off again.
The rocky ground was littered with broken bones, testifying to the tragic battlefield that had once taken place.
With a clear goal, the team moved much faster.
Bluman and others guarded Mo Yu carefully and looked around vigilantly.
Although the lord is extremely powerful, he still has to fulfill his duties as a guard conscientiously.
We must not let the blind monsters collide with the lord.
If Stef's axe soldiers had respect for Mo Yu before, it has now completely upgraded to reverence.
In the battle just now, the figure who stood still and gave calm commands amidst the attacks of countless zombies lying on the ground was deeply engraved in their minds.
The team walked forward for more than ten minutes, and the zombies lying on the ground in groups of three or two gradually disappeared.
Another type of monster seen before began to appear, the hairy rat monster.
This hard-haired rat monster is a large rat that can walk upright. It is good at using short spears and long-range attacks through the spikes on its back.
The spikes had a pretty good attack, and they could penetrate nearly half of the wooden round shield in Bruman's hand.
If it falls on your body, I'm afraid it won't feel good.
Fortunately, the hard-haired rat monster can only fire spikes through its back, and the release signal is quite obvious, so I have to turn my back every time.
After a few hasty responses, I mastered the pattern and dodging became much easier.
Apart from its long-range spike attacks, the Hard-Haired Rat Monster doesn't have any other noteworthy means of attack, and the tiny short spear in its hand is mostly just a decoration.
They are timid by nature and only dare to use their spikes to attack from a distance, without having the courage to engage in close combat.
Only when they have an overwhelming advantage in numbers will they attack in a rush.
But once one or two of them die, they will realize that something is wrong and quickly scatter.
It is somewhat similar to the characteristics of the Fallen in Diablo.
But it is precisely this kind of creature that harasses Mo Yu and others and makes them extremely annoyed.
After finally killing a few of them, they scared them away, and in the blink of an eye, another group gathered and hung nearby, shooting with spikes.
Stef's axe soldiers wanted to chase them, but they were very cunning and fled very quickly, demonstrating the guerrilla tactics to the fullest.
It’s a pity that Teemo had other tasks today and was not around, otherwise this would have been a very standard on-site teaching session.
Mo Yu secretly made a note that he must bring Timo here for special training someday.
Saying it a thousand times is never as good as experiencing it in person.
"Speed up and move forward. Once we find the boss, we won't bother with these dirty guys anymore."
Mo Yu was still thinking about the BOSS. According to their progress, it should be not far away, and they might even have met it already.
As he spoke, his eyes searched among the scattered stiff-haired rat monsters around him.
It was just that the rocky ground was too dark, and the hair of the Wirehaired Rat Monster itself was rather dark, so at first glance nothing unusual was noticed.
The team walked forward for several hundred meters, and more and more hard-haired rat monsters gathered around them.
The number of hard-haired rat monsters has unknowingly reached more than thirty, and the number seems to be still increasing.
Fortunately, Stef's axe soldiers had just put on the protective gear dropped by the zombies, so they only needed to protect their heads and other vital parts, and were not afraid of the attacks of the hairy rat monsters.
But the increasing number of hard-haired rat monsters still made them feel quite a bit of pressure.
"My lord, the attacks of these hard-haired rat monsters seem to be more ferocious, and the power of their spikes is greater than before!" Bluman shouted, frowning, holding up his shield.
Mo Yu's eyes lit up, "Does all the power become stronger, or only some?"
"All of them are at least 20% stronger than before!" Bluman had a clear sense of power and answered immediately. "Yes, we should have reached the leader's area, it must have been hiding in the dark!" Mo Yu said with certainty.
A considerable number of the hard-haired rat monsters that were chasing and attacking them had been following them for a long time.
Their power cannot be created out of nothing, and even if they activate their skills, they will not last long.
It will definitely not be like it is now, where all attack powers are raised to a higher level.
Therefore, it is very likely that it is due to the blessing of the halo skills of the leader hidden in the dark.
Especially now, these hard-haired rat monsters have become much bolder. Even when Stef's axe soldiers step forward, they only retreat a little.
After seeing Stef's axe soldiers retreat, they immediately rushed forward to attack.
This timid creature must have someone backing him up to do this.
"Wait a moment, hold on a little longer, and see if you can find the leader's location."
Mo Yu whispered something, held up a shield, and began searching with his eyes.
More and more hard-haired rat monsters gathered, and their number soon exceeded fifty. Their dense spike attacks interrupted their progress.
Bruman and others formed a defensive formation, swinging their short axes tightly, constantly sweeping away the incoming spikes.
The wide axe blade of the short axe was like a shield, protecting Mo Yu firmly in the middle.
This lasted for about half a minute, and finally, a strange squeaking sound was heard, and the commander in the dark lost his patience.
The rats separated and a smaller rat monster with black and purple hair walked out from the group.
Mo Yu suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misunderstanding.
I always thought that the BOSS would just get bigger and stronger, but this is not the case with the rat monster.
He looked intently, and the attributes of the rat monster were immediately revealed.
[Haired Rat King]
[Level]: Level 2 Rare
[Status]: Proud
[Abilities]: Bone-eroding spikes, command aura.
[Instructions]: Don't get hit by its sharp thorns, or you will be poisoned.
"Finally out, I've been waiting for you!"
A smile appeared on Mo Yu's face.
Bruman and the others also showed ferocious smiles on their faces. The horrific tide of zombies just now was wiped out by the lord, and the fate of the little mouse in front of them was foreseeable.
The Hard-Haired Rat King was somewhat confused about the strange smiles of these humans.
It stood in front of Mo Yu and others without worrying at all that it would be attacked.
After repeated attempts, the Hard-Haired Rat King was certain that the group of humans in front of him did not have any long-range means.
Even though those burly men with axes were strong enough, they were suppressed and unable to raise their heads under the long-range attacks of the little guys.
The Hard-Haired Rat King shuddered and a sharp spike shot out.
Bruman cried out, and although the spike was blocked, a small gap was left on the short axe.
What a powerful attack! If this blow lands on the body, ordinary armor may not be able to block it.
However, it no longer had the opportunity to continue attacking!
Mo Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, he withdrew his gaze from the battlefield, and said with a smile.
"Your turn is over, now it's my turn!"
The gate of war opened, and a large number of defense towers were summoned, surrounding the Hairy Rat King and the rat group tightly from all directions.
Surprise!
You are surrounded by me!
