Chapter 212 The Ruler of the City, the Hard-Haired Rat

The new king was instantly furious. How could the enemy invade just after he inherited the throne?

Isn't this just trying to deceive herself?

It walked to the palace and howled to the sky.

"Roar"

This roar completely awakened the entire city. Countless Lizardmen came out of their homes and began a city-wide search.

Lu Ming was immediately informed of the lively commotion above.

"The Lizardmen know of our existence and have begun a city-wide search."

Ah Le was thankful: "Fortunately we moved in time, otherwise it would be dangerous."

"Hopefully they won't search this place."

The search in the city was carried out vigorously, but these lizardmen ignored the existence of the drainage ditch and did not enter to search it at all.

So the whole city was searched, but in vain.

Two hours later, knowing that no enemy was found, the new king ordered the search to be abandoned.

When the search was over, the magic bat sent a message to Lu Ming.

“Found the location.”

"Where is it?" Ale came over excitedly.

"The Lizardman King lives in the central city. We just need to follow the drainage ditch into the city and then we can start snatching the treasure map."

Ah Le said excitedly: "What are you waiting for, let's go."

"go!"

With the help of the magic bat for positioning, direction was no longer a problem. Lu Ming and his team began to move forward along the drainage ditch of the city.

The three of them walked for several kilometers, and Lu Ming suddenly stopped.

"alert!"

Ah Le and Situ Mingzhu immediately became alert.

"Lu Ming, what's wrong?"

"Something's wrong up ahead."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless red lights lit up in the dark drainage ditch.

At the same time, a rustling sound was heard.

"Summon the Fate Beast!"

In the shining light, the three of them could also see the enemies in the dark.

They were black rats as big as dogs, with blood-red eyes and hair as hard as needles, especially their large front teeth, which were particularly conspicuous.

"Hard-haired demon rat!"

After recognizing the identities of these monsters, A Le immediately felt relieved.

"Lu Ming, don't worry. These hard-haired demon rats are average in strength, usually around level 20 to 30, and are easy to deal with."

Lu Ming was not as relaxed as A Le, he said with a serious face.

"The strength of these hard-haired demon rats is indeed average, but there are so many of them that we cannot be careless."

"A huge number?"

A Le looked ahead in confusion. Due to the lighting problem, he could only see a distance of 100 meters.

"Two-headed demon wolf!"

Ah Le called softly, and the two-headed demon wolf immediately understood and spit out two fireballs into the darkness.

The moment the fireball appeared, it illuminated the dark drainage ditch.

The next moment, A Le and Situ Mingzhu's faces changed drastically.

Wherever the firelight shone, there were densely packed stiff-haired demon rats.

"Fuck, so many!"

Everywhere you look you see hard-haired demon rats, thousands of them.

This is still what they can see, but who knows how many demon rats are waiting for them in the darkness ahead.

The moment the fireball appeared, the entire group of bristle-haired demon rats moved.

"squeak"

With a shrill sound, the army of demon rats launched an attack.

In addition to close combat, the hard fur of the Wirehaired Demon Rat is also a way of attacking.

Countless bristles shot out.

"whoosh whoosh"

Accompanied by the sound of breaking through the air, dense and stiff hairs shot towards us like a rain of arrows.

Lu Ming said urgently: "Get behind me quickly."

A Le and Situ Mingzhu immediately hid behind Lu Ming, while the gargoyle spread its wide wings to protect everyone.

Without Lu Ming and his men giving orders, the beasts under his command instantly launched a counterattack.

"唳"

The harpy let out a sharp scream, and the hard-haired rat that was in the front immediately died with blood coming out of all its orifices.

What followed was a fierce joint attack from the life beasts, with wind blades, thunder, earth spikes, and various elemental attacks.

In an instant, a large number of demon rats died.

The massive death of its companions did not scare the hard-haired demon rat. It continued to attack frantically, rushing forward one after another.

Lu Ming looked at the hard-haired demon rat that rushed forward regardless of its life or death with a serious look in his eyes.

“It looks like this is going to be a tough battle.”

The battle continued, and the noise made by the two sides was so loud that it was soon noticed by the lizardmen living above.

When the new king received the news, a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Going underground, these invaders are simply seeking death."

In fact, during the initial city-wide search, the Lizardmen did not forget about the huge drainage canals under the city.

But they didn’t even dare to go into the drainage ditch to search!

There is another group of monsters in the huge drainage canals throughout the city, the hard-haired monster rats!

Although from the perspective of strength, five hard-haired demon rats may not be able to kill a lizardman, but their number is too large.

The entire underground hard-haired demon rat population exceeds one million, making it a huge race.

During countless years of confrontation, both sides tacitly divided the entire city.

The above-ground part is occupied by lizardmen, while the underground part is ruled by hard-haired rats.

The battle continued and even became more intense.

Two hours later

Ah Le looked at the hard-haired demon rats whose number had not decreased at all, and his face looked very ugly.

"How many of these things are there?"

Situ Mingzhu's pretty face turned pale: "I'm afraid there are many more."

"I now suspect that the reason why the lizardmen don't search underground is because of these hard-haired demon rats!"

Lu Ming's expression seemed very calm. He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at the hard-haired demon rats that were still charging towards him.

"How much vitality do you have left?"

"I still have a third."

"IM about the same!"

Lu Ming pondered for a moment: "It is unknown how many enemies there are. We must ensure our continued combat effectiveness."

"From now on, we will split into two groups. Ah Le, you and Ming Zhu will be in one group, and I will be alone in another. We will take turns to fight the enemy."

Ah Le and Situ Mingzhu looked at each other and said, "No problem."

"Now you guys take a rest to recover your strength, I will hold off these monsters."

Although A Le and Situ Mingzhu withdrew from the battle, Lu Ming's combat pressure did not increase.

There are many hard-haired demon rats, but their strength is not strong. As long as you can withstand the opponent's rat sea tactics, there will be no danger.

For others, it might not be possible to sustain a long battle, but for Lu Ming, this is not a problem.

The existence of the Heavenly Official Seal allows him to have a reserve of vital energy far beyond that of ordinary people.

Three hours later, A Le and Situ Mingzhu's vitality was fully restored.

"Lu Ming, let's do it."

Seeing this, Lu Ming immediately withdrew from the battle.

Although he has a lot of vitality, his energy is limited after all, and he also needs to rest.

The two sides went back and forth like this, and the fighting continued.

24 hours later, the battle was still going on, and a mountain of rat corpses had piled up in front of Lu Ming and his team.

After 48 hours, Lu Ming and his men had no choice but to retreat one kilometer because the corpses of the demon rats left them no room to fight.

After two days and two nights of fighting, Ale and Situ Mingzhu turned pale.

Although they can still ensure sufficient vitality to fight, the long-term battle has caused great mental exhaustion to them, and a short rest is not enough to fully recover.

"We must have killed no less than 100,000 demon rats in the past two days. How come we haven't wiped them out yet?"

Lu Ming encouraged them, "Hold on a little longer, we will definitely win!"

The number of hard-haired demon rats was beyond the imagination of Lu Ming and his companions, and the persistence of Lu Ming and his companions also exceeded the expectations of some beings.
