What was the concept of a human-sized rat?
One might be able to kill it with one strike, but when one saw something that was usually the size of one's palm suddenly become as tall as one, the feeling was no less than an animal waiting to be slaughtered suddenly speaking. It was enough to make one's scalp go numb.
However, there was an obvious difference between the two. If one killed the latter, one might feel guilty, but if one killed the former, one would only feel comfortable all over, as if one had cleaned away the dirt that had accumulated on one's body.
Before Yan Li could experience this feeling, he swung his sword. Halfway through, he saw one of the large rats suddenly spit out a mouthful of saliva. The saliva collided with the sword Qi and made a sizzling sound. Then, the sword Qi was corroded into nothingness.
"What kind of rat is this!" Wang Hui couldn't help but shout.
His loss of composure was forgivable because there was no poison in this world that could be effective on inanimate objects. This rat's saliva could even corrode sword Qi. If it was a human, wouldn't they die the moment they came into contact with it?
Yan Li didn't say anything because the two rats had already pounced on him from the left and right.
The secret room was narrow and there was no space to dodge. Wang Hui and his son were hiding behind him, so it was even more impossible for them to dodge.
'I hope it can take it!'
He thought to himself and suddenly sheathed his sword. With a "clang", the Hidden Blade was activated. Fortunately, the Green Steel Sword didn't break.
"Let's see how many times you can die!"
He raised his eyebrows and pulled out his sword. The invisible external force drew a dark semicircle in the air and enveloped the two rats.
One of them bore the brunt of the attack and was immediately split into two. The other saw this and let out a strange cry. Seeing that it couldn't dodge, it made a last-ditch attempt and spat at Yan Li again.
"Brother Yan, dodge!" Wang Hui turned pale with fright.
Yan Li didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and threw the Green Steel Sword.
The Green Steel Sword directly shattered the ball of saliva.
"How could this be?" Wang Hui said in a daze.
The other rat was also split into two. This time, they couldn't move anymore.
"I'll explain when we get out!" Yan Li abandoned the sword hilt and took out another Green Steel Sword. He unsheathed it and walked out of the secret passage.
"Hurry up and come with me. Look at the trouble you've caused!" Wang Hui shouted at Wang Xiaochuan.
"If you didn't come in, how could Miss Gu Yi treat me like this …" Wang Xiaochuan muttered in a very low voice.
He didn't know why, but when he entered, he didn't feel that this secret passage was very long. Now that he was exiting, he felt that it would be endless no matter how long he walked.
Suddenly, there was light in front of them. It seemed to be a fork in the road.
Yan Li said, "Chief Hunter Wang, did you report your whereabouts to the Lianhai Villa and the officials?"
"Brother Yan knows everything!" Wang Hui was a little embarrassed. He then said, "I didn't report the case. It was the staff of the bank who made the decision. I don't dare to tell anyone about Little Chuan, so … "
"We'll talk about the rest when we get out," Yan Li said.
At this moment, he arrived at the fork in the road. He raised his eyebrows and suddenly crouched down and dashed forward. The cyan-steel sword in his hand slashed consecutively, and three cold beams of light appeared in the dim tunnel.
The three Monster Rats that rushed in fell to the ground, not even having the chance to spit.
But the tunnel was narrow, and Yan Li couldn't help but be stained with some blood.
Yan Li stood still and was about to speak when he suddenly saw Wang Hui's expression turn into one of fear. Without thinking, he tilted his head to the side and dodged. A demon claw passed by his ear. The demon claw exuded the aura of death. It was straight and sharp. If he had been a little slower, his head would have been pierced.
The killing intent in his chest skyrocketed. True Qi surged, and he curled the fingers of his left hand. The power of the Star Source in the air was mobilized. After more than ten muffled sounds, the demon that ambushed him was riddled with holes.
The corpse fell from the wall. He took a closer look and couldn't help but frown.
He originally thought that it was a Monster Rat that ambushed him, but this dead body was not a Monster Rat at all. If he had to describe it, it would be better to say that it was a mutated pangolin.
A dark hole appeared in the wall behind him.
"Was there this hole when we came?" Yan Li looked at the hole and asked thoughtfully.
Wang Hui shook his head. "Definitely not. It just appeared suddenly. It's like … like it's being controlled by someone …"
The more he said, the more he felt that it was too unbelievable. He smiled bitterly and helplessly. "Could it be … could it be that this underground palace is alive? That's like seeing a ghost. It's impossible …"
"Whether it's a ghost or not, we really saw a demon," Yan Li said with interest. "I thought it only existed in novels. Or are these also a type of Meteorite Beast? "
As he said that, he walked out of the secret tunnel. If he remembered correctly, there was a tunnel that led to the gambling house on the other side. They were in one of the four secret tunnels.
But when the three of them walked out, they couldn't help but feel their hair stand on end.
His line of sight suddenly opened up, and he didn't know how, but he had arrived at an extremely wide circular hall. The ceiling was at least ten feet high, and the horizontal width was also close to ten feet. The higher he went, the wider it got, and there were terraced spiral passageways. And on these passageways, there were densely packed dark holes, and it looked like a hornet's nest.
"This …" Wang Hui suppressed his fear and bit his tongue. He felt an unbearable pain. "This isn't an illusion. This is real! We clearly didn't come here just now. Did we really see a ghost? "
"Be careful, they're here," Yan Li said.
"Who's here?" Wang Hui was stunned.
The next moment, they heard countless footsteps. Like a tide, a black mass of strange shadows came out of the dark holes and screamed at Yan Li and the others.
Wang Hui's face turned ashen. "It's over!"
"It's all your fault, you old fart!" Wang Xiaochuan's face was full of fear. "I told you not to provoke her. Now you're dead …"
Most of the strange shadows were rats. A small portion were pangolins, and a small portion were wolves the size of calves. There weren't many species, but they were very eye-catching.
They exuded an aura that definitely didn't belong to a Meteorite Beast.
The aura of a Meteorite Beast was a manifestation of the power of the Star Source.
With so many strange shadows, the concentration of their auras immediately made Yan Li feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He didn't have time to think about where this sense of familiarity came from, because the monsters had already swarmed over.
"Hunter Wang!" He lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, "You're an Impartation realm cultivator. After so many years of cultivation and leading so many hunting groups, have you already worn away the passion in your body? Even if I die, I want to die in battle with monsters, not wallow in self-pity! "
Wang Hui was shocked. He had cultivated his entire life as if he was treading on thin ice. He never dared to make a mistake, but he had raised such a useless thing! How many times had he hesitated, how many times had he hesitated? Had he ever lived with his head held high?
Was he going to bid farewell to this world just like that?
He suddenly clenched his hands tightly. "No!"
"No!"
A transparent mass of air was emitted from this old body.
