"Damn it! Where’s its weakness? Why aren’t their eyes afraid of flash grenades?" From a distance, Gu Xiaoxi heard Huo Jin’s agitated voice.

"They’re running again, stop them!"

Gu Xiaoxi watched as the Giant Rats approached them.

Over there, Huo Jin was in hot pursuit.

Just as the two Rat Kings were about to enter Gu Xiaoxi’s encirclement, they suddenly stopped.

They turned around to face Huo Jin and the others.

"Squeak squeak squeak, roar roar!" The roaring sound was obviously them going berserk.

Huo Jin wouldn’t give the Rat Kings a chance to catch their breath.

He charged with his weapon, plus he was wearing armor and high-tech flying shoes on his feet. He didn’t hesitate to fire his weapon and a dagger appeared in his hand, slicing towards the Rat King.

Who knew that his dagger, usually capable of cutting through iron like mud, would snap in half when it struck the Rat King’s neck, breaking on the spot.

He looked at the broken half of the dagger in his hand, shocked, unable to believe that the sharpest dagger of the International Alliance had broken like that.

After all, he had spent a lot of money and effort to obtain this incredibly sharp dagger.

It was also because he had this dagger that he had courageously charged at the Rat King.

Now that the dagger was broken, during the moment he was stunned, the Rat King grabbed him by the neck.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Ah!

Everyone present was startled.

What did they see?

The Rat King had grabbed Huo Jin by the neck...

Even though he was wearing armor, the neck was the most vulnerable part. They firmly believed that if the Rat King exerted just a little bit of force, Huo Jin’s head would immediately "relocate".

In that instant, everyone was so frightened that they forgot to move.

But the Rat King was already mercilessly tightening its grip on the arm.

"Yun Xiao, freeze it!" Gu Xiaoxi didn’t hesitate to jump out and call out to Yun Xiao. Even though the two rats weren’t in their encirclement, they couldn’t just watch an ally be killed.

Yun Xiao responded rapidly, immediately releasing Ice Vine magic. In just a moment, a whole mountain forest was frozen, including the Giant Rat King who was about to crush Huo Jin to death.

Gu Xiaoxi didn’t hesitate to take flight, summoning seven daggers.

She immediately activated her Spiritual Energy, transforming the seven daggers into forty-nine.

At the same time, she infused the daggers with invincible Inner Strength, attacking the Giant Rat King’s back.

In an instant, the powerful force of the daggers shattered the ice that had encased the Giant Rat King, and the daggers sliced directly towards its tough fur.

In just a moment, the Giant Rat King’s back was streaming with blood.

The pain caused the Giant Rat to immediately break free from the ice.

It threw the body of Huo Jin in its hand aside and turned to Gu Xiaoxi, roaring with all its might, "Squeak squeak squeak... roar roar roar..."

Clearly, Gu Xiaoxi’s stab had injured it, sending it into a rage.

With its ten-meter-tall body and huge, sturdy claws, it slapped directly towards Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly circulated her Spiritual Power, flying above its head, and once again released the daggers, forty-nine of them slicing directly at the Rat King.

The Giant Rat King felt the terrifying force and the invincible destructive power contained within the daggers and instinctively wanted to flee.

But Yun Xiao once again used the Ice Vine magic, freezing half of its body.

At the same time, Kang Wei kept blowing bubbles at the Giant Rat. Willy, with his axe, attacked the injured spot on the Giant Rat’s back.

Mason stood at the edge of the tree, waiting for the right moment.

Just as Gu Xiaoxi’s dagger pierced through the paw of the Rat King and aimed for its head, Mason immediately released the stored Laser Strike from within his body.

Three forces converged.

Gu Xiaoxi first injured the Giant Rat’s fur, and the rest followed up with their own attacks.

Suddenly, the Rat King’s back and head were penetrated. Blood gushed from its body, and its mountainous frame, over a dozen meters tall, collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Clearly, there was no possibility for it to continue living; its head was shattered, and there was a large hole in its chest.

There was a brief silence in the valley.

Huo Jin and the others couldn’t believe that Gu Xiaoxi, leading a team of new members, had managed to penetrate the body of the Rat King, a creature they had never been able to kill.

And right next to it was a Black-furred Rat King, frozen solid.

Fearing that Gu Xiaoxi would steal the credit again, Huo Jin quickly reacted, turning to the teammates behind him and saying, "Take out your laser guns and kill it."

As he spoke, Huo Jin and Bai Yi, along with all their teammates, pulled out their laser guns and aimed at the frozen Black-furred Rat King.

Meanwhile, Yun Xiao, Willy, and Kang Wei were right behind the Black-furred Rat King. If the laser guns were fired, it was uncertain whether they could kill the Black-furred Rat, but they would certainly injure Yun Xiao and the others.

"Get down!" Gu Xiaoxi instinctively shouted.

When Yun Xiao saw a beam of intense light shooting toward them, she was so frightened that she immediately dropped to the ground, barely avoiding having a lock of her hair sheared off.

If Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t reacted quickly, her head might have been pierced by the laser gun.

... But who would have thought! The laser gun didn’t harm the Black-furred Rat; instead, it shattered the ice encasing it.

Yun Xiao, Willy, and Kang Wei, who had just been attacking the Rat King, were now very close to the Black-furred Rat King.

Seeing the Giant Rat King dead, the Black-furred Rat King went into a frenzy, howling in rage.

Not far away, Huo Jin and the others still had their laser guns on, clearly unwilling to accept that they couldn’t kill the Black-furred Rat King.

The laser guns prevented Yun Xiao and the others even from standing up, as twenty beams of light hovered over their heads. Yun Xiao’s hair had been cut off in several places as she lay on the ground, narrowly avoiding a disaster.

At that moment, the Black-furred Rat King, enraged and unaffected by the laser guns, set its sights on Yun Xiao and the others as the closest targets.

Gu Xiaoxi was taken aback and immediately flung her dagger, slashing towards the Black-furred Rat King’s paw.

Yet, its speed was too fast. It looked like its paw was going to hit Yun Xiao.

Gu Xiaoxi yelled out in horror and rushed toward Yun Xiao, trying to rescue her. "Yun Xiao! Dodge!"

But how could Yun Xiao dodge at this moment? With laser gun beams all around, death was inevitable no matter which way she turned. She had already closed her eyes.

Gu Xiaoxi wished she could teleport and appear instantly beside Yun Xiao, but she was too high up, and her own speed wasn’t as fast as the Giant Rat’s attack. All this happened in an instant.

Just as the Black-furred Rat King was about to catch Yun Xiao, in the next second, the three lying on the ground miraculously disappeared.

The Black-furred Rat King’s paw only clutched an afterimage and immediately dug a deep pit in the ground.

When Gu Xiaoxi looked up again, Yun Xiao and the others had already returned to the team, and Danmai stood there, with Magic Elements floating around him.

Clearly, Danmai had used magic to save everyone just now.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxi let out a sigh of relief.

But before she could fully relax...

She was almost scared to death, as the paw of the Black-furred Rat King was already swiping toward her back. In her preoccupation with Yun Xiao, she had unwittingly flown close to the Black-furred Rat King.

Just a moment of distraction...

And Gu Xiaoxi was sent flying by a strike of its paw.
