The rat extermination operation in Jianghai City is in full swing, and in the huge hole somewhere underground, the fighting has ended.
On the mountain of corpses composed of countless monster rats and giant rat corpses, a giant rat with a broken body and bloody flesh was roaring with all its strength.
The roaring sound echoed throughout the underground space.
It is venting, showing its strength, and at the same time declaring that it has won.
At this moment, the demon rats and giant rats that were fighting in the underground space heard this roar, and they all stopped raising their sharp claws and squatted deeply towards the giant rat.
If every giant rat in the underground space was their own king before, then now, there is only one king.
It's the terrifying giant rat on the mountain of corpses.
Relying on his own powerful strength to completely conquer all the demon rats, all the demon rats in Jianghai City also ushered in a common king.
In the dark underground space, the only golden light shining was on the giant rat.
A broken bone exuding golden color.
Caught between two terrifying claws.
"Roar!"
The giant rat roared again, stood on both legs, and violently stuffed the broken bone emitting golden light spots into its right paw.
Suddenly, painful howls sounded.
The right claw was already bloody, and the bones in it were also broken during the fighting. Now the broken bone was just connected to the broken point.
Following the violent insertion of the severed bone, it was originally just emitting faint golden light spots, but suddenly there was a burst of blood.
The broken bone suddenly turned into countless blood-red threads, wrapping around the bones in the right claw at an extremely fast speed.
As the blood-red threads entangled, the original bones in the giant rat's right claw were melting.
No, this is not ablation.
Instead, it was devoured.
Swallowed by the blood-red thread.
For a moment, the terrifying right claw lost the support of the bones and suddenly drooped.
"Roar!"
The giant rat howled in pain, with trembling in its voice. The prostrate demon rat and the giant rat lowered their heads when they heard the roar, not daring to raise their heads.
The roar of pain resounded through the ground, the giant rat's eyes were filled with fear, and a sharp pain that hurt his soul hit him. Regarding this situation, it didn't know what was happening to it.
Everything about him seemed to be swallowed up.
Blood, life, and soul.
Why is this thing different from the previous blood-red crystals.
The giant rat was frightened by the blood-red thread that was constantly devouring itself.
It wanted to tear its right claw apart and bite it off completely. Even if one limb was lost, it would be like death.
However, the moment the broken bone entered the body, the body was no longer under control, and he could only watch it all happen.
Fear has completely enveloped the giant rat's heart.
Moreover, the blood-red thread began to be dissatisfied with just swallowing the right claw, and threads came out from the body, slowly extending into the mountain of corpses at the feet.
The blood-red silk thread was divided into ten pieces and suddenly turned into an extremely hard steel needle, directly piercing the corpse and beginning to absorb the huge amount of blood.
Not just blood and energy, everything that can be swallowed up will be swallowed up.
The blood-red silk threads were like tubes, transporting the essence towards the giant rat.
The originally huge mountain of corpses is now being slowly swallowed up...
I can't imagine what the function of that broken bone is, and what will become of the giant rat after absorbing the entire mountain of corpses?
And all this can only be known after waiting for the end.
The scene that happened in this underground space was not discovered by anyone, as if this underground space did not exist in Jianghai City.
But where can it be if it is not in Jianghai?
...
Time flies so fast, half a month has passed since the mutant rat attack occurred in Jianghai City.
In the past half month, nothing major happened in Jianghai City.
The demon rat attack did not happen again.
The demon rat seemed to disappear out of thin air. Even after the joint investigation of the three major martial arts schools, no valuable findings were found.
A lot of passages extending in all directions were found, but the so-called lair was not found at all.
This leads one to wonder if these mutated rats aren't rats at all and the previous attacks were just a coincidence.
Some people even speculated whether those demon rats came to Jianghai City because of a space crack connecting the blood moon world.
After all, humans have not yet fully explored the Blood Moon World, and they have no idea how many unknown monsters there are.
Maybe the demonic rat is an indigenous demonic beast from the Blood Moon World.
This statement is not unreasonable. No one can be sure about the randomness of space cracks.
As time went by, more and more people believed that the attack was just a coincidence. Otherwise, the three major martial arts schools had joined forces and almost searched the entire river and sea. Otherwise, how could they not have been found.
In the Fenghuo Martial Arts Hall, several great masters gathered together.
The owner of the museum, Fang Fan.
Wu Ping from Beidou Martial Arts School, Long Yuanliang from Shuiyun Martial Arts School.
The three represent the three martial arts schools, and they are gathered here precisely because of the mutated rat.
"Master of the Wind and Fire Hall, half a month has passed, and our three major martial arts schools have not found the demon rat's nest, let alone the nest, and the larger demon rat group has not been discovered."
"Could this really be just a coincidence?"
Long Yuanliang opened his mouth, but before Fang Fan could speak, Wu Ping on the side said.
"I don't think it's what the outside world says."
"Although I haven't found the lair of the demon rat in the past half month, I have also found a lot of lone demon rats. When I was fighting those demon rats, I was also there."
"That demonic rat has no aura unique to the demonic beasts of the Blood Moon World."
"On the contrary, it is very crazy and bloodthirsty. The demon rat cannot come from the blood moon world. It is a mutation caused by a reason unknown to us."
"But the problem is, we have dug through Jianghai City, but we still haven't found the demon rat's lair, and we haven't found anything or anything that has the same aura as the demon rat."
"I personally walked through that passage. It can be concluded that the passage was definitely caused by monsters, but I didn't find anything that time."
"Compared to what the outside world says, I believe that those demon rats are either dead or have escaped from Jianghai City."
After hearing what the two said, Fang Fan fell into deep thought.
He felt that this demon rat did not come from the blood moon world, nor was it dead, nor did it escape from Jianghai City.
He must still be hiding in Jianghai City.
However, they haven't found it yet.
"Master of the Wind and Fire Pavilion, do we want to continue the investigation now?"
"In this case, it would be a waste of time to continue."
"Check, check for three more days. If nothing is found, then stop."
"Yes, Fenghuo Martial Arts School."
The two people's voices rang out and they immediately walked out of the room.
It's not that Fang Fan doesn't want to continue investigating, but he also has to consider many factors. The three major martial arts schools have been delayed for more than half a month because of this matter.
It would be fine if I found something, but the key is that I didn't find anything.
"Where are they hiding?"
...
