C58

I had never seen a rat this big, and I was so stunned by it that I forgot to be afraid for a moment.

Can a normal mouse grow to the size of a wild cat? This was obviously impossible!

It used its hind legs to support the ground and stood upright. Its two short front paws spread out to the sides and it looked like it was going to put its hands on its waist. Its long tail was even swinging, like a whip hitting the ground.

I suddenly had a very strange feeling. Leaving aside my outer appearance, the Giant Rat at the very front behaved in a manner similar to that of a human.

He even had the bearing of a boss as he stood at the very front. The little claws that were supporting his body would occasionally stamp on the ground.

These hundreds of rats surrounded us, and it seemed as if they were protecting us.

I suddenly felt that it was absurd. Since when did mice become so intelligent? You even know how to protect people?

And the biggest question was, where did these rats come from? Why protect us? I would never believe there was no reason to believe it. Absurd though it was, these rats were acting like they were courting death.

Let alone those things that are half dead and half alive, even a dozen of us can quickly exterminate these rats.

The appearance of the rat caused a commotion among the crowd. No one could remain calm after such a strange event. Even the man in the suit had put down the compass.

He walked to the front and looked at the huge rat with a strange expression.

"An expert is secretly helping us. It seems like we won't die today." The man in the suit let out a long sigh.

"Master?"

I dejectedly said, "Do you think you can deal with those monsters with just these rats?"

"Just watch. You'll know very soon." The man in the suit stretched his back and returned to his lazy look.

Although the man in the suit had a calm expression, I noticed that his legs were still shaking. Obviously, he wasn't sure about what he was saying either. Just these few hundred rats were of no use at all. Even though these things looked fierce, with their size, they weren't even worth looking at.

Even if there was a strange giant rat among them, it wouldn't help.

While he was thinking, the first two zombies had already started approaching, and their pace became faster and faster. Obviously, the glutinous rice on the ground was no longer of much use to them.

At this moment, the huge rat standing at the very front suddenly let out a cry. Its little claws extended forward as if giving out orders.

The moment the voice sounded, there was suddenly movement deep within the darkness, on both sides of the mountain. It was as if something was scurrying back and forth, and the sound was so loud that it could be heard even from a distance. Faintly, I even felt the ground tremble slightly.

I stared at the source of the sound.

It was too dark to see much at first, but after a while I realized that it was two black streams of water that ran down the sides of the mountain.

When I got close enough to see the situation, I couldn't help but feel my scalp tingle.

I discovered that the 'water flow' that was spreading downwards was actually a large group of black-furred rats!

Under the dim moonlight, the rat's hair was still glowing. As the amount was too large, the densely packed fields looked like black water.

Seeing this, I was so shocked that I couldn't even close my mouth.

Previously, he thought that a few hundred mice were too few, but now, in the blink of an eye, thousands upon thousands of black-furred mice ran out.

The black mass gave me goosebumps and goosebumps. Not only me, even the man in the suit was dumbfounded by what he saw.

Like a tidal wave, the rats came at them from both sides, surrounding the two zombies at the front with a pincer attack. At a glance, it was completely black, without even a spot to move.

The two half-dead half-ghosts seemed to have sensed the danger and began to attack crazily. Every time they waved their hands and feet, a large amount of rat corpses would be left behind. However, these rat corpses were quickly eaten by their own kind. Soon after, more and more rats swarmed over.

His posture could only be described as unafraid of death.

This scene completely shattered my understanding of rats, saying that they were as cowardly as mice, while these rats were as fierce as wolves.

In just a few seconds, the feet of the two halves of a human and a corpse were completely buried by the rats. Even more of them climbed up the legs of the rats. Very soon, the two halves became shorter, or perhaps it could be said that one of their legs had been bitten off.

Furthermore, this situation was still spreading at a frightening speed. I saw with my own eyes that the two monsters that were incomparably ferocious before were now dipping into the mud like they were stuck in a pond.

First the feet, then the knees, then the waist, and finally the chest.

When they reached their chests, the rat swarm had already completely engulfed them. Only two piles of rats that were as large as mountains were left, rapidly descending until they were flat ground.

By the time the rat swarm had dispersed, the two half-dead, half-dead, and half-dead that had been jumping around had completely disappeared. There was not even a trace of bones to be seen.

When I saw this, I was dumbfounded.

In less than a minute, the monster that had killed half the village had disappeared into thin air. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.

Ants, bite more dead elephants!

In front of an absolute number of monsters, the two zombies were completely unable to resist.

I suddenly had a feeling that there was always someone stronger than them, and that no matter how powerful or terrifying they were, they would still have enemies. And this group of rats were their nemesis, their nemesis!

Faced with this situation, everyone was shocked, including the man in the suit. He also had a stunned look on his face, and he would occasionally pick his nose out of habit.

Things didn't end like this. Soon enough, the group of rats turned their attention towards the human figures that were lowering their heads and shrugging their shoulders.

Under the roars of the giant rat, the rat swarm pounced on the figures like a black tide.

The impact was so great that even the ground began to slightly tremble.

The same thing happened. In front of the large number of rats, those half-dead and half-ghosts had no way of resisting. They were quickly exterminated, leaving not even their bones behind.

Seeing this, my anxious heart finally relaxed.

With the protection of the rat swarm, we finally managed to survive. At the same time as I heaved a sigh of relief, my heart was filled with doubts. Judging from the size of the rat swarm and the way they conducted themselves, they were clearly not born to be, and there must be someone controlling them from the shadows.

Who exactly was it that could control such a large group of rats and train them to be like deathsworn? The strangest thing was the giant rat. Not only did it behave like a human, its intelligence was also not low.

From beginning to end, this giant rat had acted the role of a general, and the torrent of rats were like soldiers charging into battle.

If this was the human world, it definitely wouldn't be much, but for rats, it would undoubtedly be exceptionally abnormal. They had never seen a family of mice that were not afraid of death.

So I'm very curious, who is the person behind this order? Or rather, what was it?

Despite my curiosity, I wasn't foolish enough to ask that giant mouse. If it misunderstood me, it would order its lackeys to kill me. By then, I wouldn't even have any bones left, I would be buried in its stomach.

This group of rats dared to eat anything, not even sparing the corpses of their companions.

"We're saved! We're saved! We're finally saved!"

At this time, the village chief jumped out from the crowd. His face was full of excitement, and he was practically dancing with joy.

Looking at his appearance, I almost wanted to slap him on the face. So many people had died, yet he was still so happy? He really deserved such a slap. If he wasn't selfish, how could this have happened?

The more I read, the angrier I got.

Just as he was about to make a move to give him a big slap, the giant rat suddenly cried out.

I turned my head to look and saw the giant mouse waving its short front paws and chirping non-stop. It looked to be very excited.

Following which, something that shocked me happened. After pausing for a short moment, the rat swarm surrounded us at the fastest speed possible. They encircled us so tightly that even water wouldn't be able to escape.

I even saw some mice start to tremble and look scared, the fear that comes from the body's instinct.

I had a sudden uneasy feeling that something was about to happen, something the rats were afraid of.

Even the rat swarm was scared, just how terrifying was this thing?
