“Squeak-!”
Within the Fire Mouse Nest, Zheng Cheng and Yao Zhixue encountered another group of elite fire mice.
These elite mice were hidden in the darkness, taking advantage of the two’s unawareness, they pounced out suddenly.
Luckily, Zheng Cheng reacted swiftly, kicking away an elite mouse that fell from the sky.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak-”
Meanwhile, within the dim nest, another group of elite fire mice charged towards them.
“I’ll hold them back! You attack when you get a chance!”
With Zheng Cheng’s command, he brandished his long knife and rushed forward.
His constitution reached as high as 64 points. Clearly, these elite mice couldn’t even break his defense.
He, on the other hand, was like a tiger amongst a flock of sheep, each simple slash resulted in another elite mouse slashed to death.
Yao Zhixue, standing behind him, beautiful eyes glistening, also found opportunities to shoot out blades of ice.
Together, they exterminated this wave of elite fire mice in less than ten minutes!
“Keep moving forward!”
Zheng Cheng said, “The temperature around us is rising. We’re getting close to the BOSS!”
Suddenly, from the cave behind them, Cai Shen exclaimed.
“Damn! My soul power increased!”
“Mine too, by 1 soul power point…”
“It’s Brother Cheng! They’re killing the fire mice…”
“We’re still in a team, so whatever monsters Brother Cheng and Yao Zhixue kill, we also get a share of the soul power.”
“Oh my, such brotherhood…”
“Squeak-I!!”
In front of a large cave door, there were about seven or eight fire mice squatting as tall as half a human.
On their tails, radiant halos of flames flickered and glowed.
Upon spotting Zheng Cheng and Yao Zhixue, they immediately lunged forward.
Halfway through their charge, a barrage of flaming arrows rained down on them.
“Hiss…!”
Yao Zhixue immediately raised her hand, churning frost, and formed a large ice wall in front of them, effortlessly blocking the barrage of flaming arrows. Zheng Cheng curiously asked, “What exactly is your newbie skill, Yao Zhixue?”
“Ice Blade? Ice Wall? And that Snowman before…”
Yao Zhixue hesitated, then replied, “My basic skill is ice element manipulation,
I can form any kind of attack using the ice element.”
“Those Ice Blades, Ice Walls, they aren’t skills, but forms of attack…”
“So that’s it…”
Zheng Cheng nodded, it was no wonder Yao Zhixue’s attack patterns were so diverse.
He thought Yao Zhixue was like him, possessing two newbie skills.
Taking advantage of the burning arrows, Zheng Cheng charged towards the fire mice.
In the fire mouse nest, he had already consumed 12 roasted fire mouse tails.
His Agility attribute had risen to 16 points!
This index had already surpassed the agile attribute of the fire mice!
With a flicker of a shadow, Zheng Cheng’s figure appeared before the leading fire mouse.
Before it could react, the long knife had already penetrated its mouth.
Bursting out from the back of its head!
“Squeak-!”
The fire mouse cried out, its body trembled, spitting blood, then it moved no more.
With a flash in his eyes, the attributes of this dead mouse appeared before his eyes.
[Name: Flame Mouse] [Race: Fire Mouse] [Level: LV5] [Constitution: 12] [Strength: 14] [Agility: 15]
[Spirit: 8]
“Hmm? Flame Mouse, its Constitution, Strength have all been enhanced… and even the Spirit!”
“Did the intensity of its flame attacks also increase?”
“Too bad…my flame resistance is also 12%!”
Twisting his waist, he avoided the second Flame Mouse’s pounce.
Just at that moment, Yao Zhixue’s Ice Blade arrived, solidly piercing the Flame Mouse’s flank.
“Squeak-!”
The Flame Mouse let out a scream.
They were fire attribute creatures. Yao Zhixue’s Ice Blade was undoubtedly their natural opponent!
“Puff!”
With a backhand slash, he chopped off the head of the Flame Mouse.
Random Autopsy!
Another grilled Flame Rat tail.
With a forceful inhale, the agility attribute increases once again by +1!
At that moment, with the help of Yao Zhixue, the agility attribute of the Flame Rats substantially drops.
But Zheng Cheng moves like a dragon swimming in the sea, constantly moving amongst the Flame Rats, slaughtering one after another!
Three grilled Flame Rat tails enter his mouth, agility attribute +3!
After killing these Flame Rats, his level instantly rises to LV4!
Even Yao Zhixue also advances to LV3!
An entrance to a cave that is taller than a person emerges before their eyes.
Zheng Cheng leads the way and steps in first.
Yao Zhixue closely follows behind.
“Hm?”
What appears before them is a vast plaza.
The surroundings of the plaza are smooth walls unique to magic crystal mines.
In the center of the plaza, a monster that is taller than a person with the body of a Ratkin, is feasting on a human corpse!
A Ratkin body?
A humanoid species?!
Their eyes shift, and part of the information about this BOSS gets immediately captured by them. [Name: ????] [Race: Fire Ratkin] [Level: LVIO] [Constitution: ? ] [Strength: ? ]
[Agility: 7. ]
[Spirit: 15]
A series of question marks appears in front of them.
Out of the four attributes, besides the 15 points in spirit, all the other attributes are question marks!
This indicates that the level of this Ratkin BOSS is at least 10 levels higher than theirs!
They are not at a level where they can view this!
“Squeak-”
The Ratkin also detects the presence of strangers and forcefully raises its head.
Massive amounts of fresh blood and minced meat are mixed in its thick beard.
Accompanied by its scream, the surrounding Flame Rats that are also feasting on human corpses immediately rush towards them.
“Yao Zhixue!”
“Got it!”
Even before entering the cave, the two of them had already discussed their tactics.
Yao Zhixue’s hands suddenly part, and her snowy pupils flash a radiant light.
Simultaneously, an ice sprite with wings flies out from Yao Zhixue’s body.
With playful laughter, copious snowflakes and cold air gush out, enveloping the entire cave in no time.
“It seems like a natural weapon… but that’s not quite it, this thing is alive!”
Zheng Cheng sounds slightly peculiar, but he seizes this opportunity and charges towards the Flame Rats!
Being part of the Fire Rat Tribe, they are all fire-attribute creatures.
They naturally detest or fear ice energy.
At this moment, under the enveloping ice, their speed and their fire magic abilities are reduced by several folds!
Zheng Cheng’s figure flits, and he immediately lunges into the swarm of Flame
Rats.
“Squeak-!”
The leading Flame Rat also lets out a harsh scream, opens its sharp mouth, and immediately goes for Zheng Cheng with a bite!
Regrettably, due to the surrounding cold fog, the speed of this Flame Rat drops by at least three times!
“Slash!”
Zheng Cheng roars angrily, exerts force with both hands, and a blade slashes into the mouth of this Flame Rat.
The entire back of the Flame Rat’s head is sliced off!
“Xue’er, let’s combine our forces and show that creature what we’re made of!”
“Cheep-cheep-cheep?”
The ice sprite known as Xue’er tilts her head in thought, and immediately waves the mini magic staff in her hand.
Massive amounts of cold fog condense again and transform into long needles completely made up of ice crystals in mid-air.
“Whoosh….
“Swoosh-swoosh-swoosh….!”
In an instant, at least a hundred ice needles are simultaneously shot towards the distant swarm of Flame Rats.
“Squeak-!!”
