Neither of them has any more tricks left up their sleeve. The Rat King wants to take advantage of the Digging Insect Fiend that is dealing with its rat descendants. It is relying on its own speed to give a sneak attack. It wants to use one blow to kill this Digging Insect Fiend once and for all, but this opponent is not an easy target. With the Rat King"s current speed it can"t do anything about its descendants being culled. The Digging Insect Fiend pretended to deal with the smelly rats around it, but in fact, it was waiting for the Rat King to take the bait and catch it during its sneak attack.
This can be reflected in the previous instance.
The Rat King didn"t expect the Digging Insect Fiend to react so quickly. The Digging Insect Fiend also didn"t expect the Rat King to have the Eye of the Rat talent as its magical ability. Both are very cunning creatures, and with this encounter, they both placed each other in danger at the same time.
Squeak!!
Hiss!!
The golden Optical Inch stabbed directly into the Digging Insect Fiend"s head and pierced instantly from the front and broke out from the back. It blew out two large ferocious looking holes in one fell swoop, and the brain matter in the skull was smashed to pieces.
However, the death blow from the Digging Insect Fiend"s sulfuric acid spray was no joke. Its corrosive power was more terrible than any sulfuric acid spray it had sprayed before. When the Golden Rat King was covered in acid spray, it uttered a mournful shrill scream on the spot. The golden hairs on its body were constantly corroding. As the fur was quickly melting off, it revealed what was underneath the flesh and blood. The sulfuric acid exposed the bones, displaying the internal organs to the world. This process was a very tragic scene to witness.
Even with the Golden Rat King"s desperate attempts to remove the corroding parts of its body was of no use anymore.
Its head was sprayed by the sulfuric acid, and none of the flesh on it was left untouched. Moreover, the blood in its body was sizzling eerily as steam kept coming out from its body. The Golden Rat King"s efforts had come to nought and the terrible heat began igniting its body completely.
That sulfuric acid is too overbearing.
At the same time, the Rat King was rolling around on the ground frantically while continuing to screech mournfully.
The Digging Insect Fiend did not die completely either. This guy"s vitality is too tenacious. Even with its upper head destroyed, its other half was still live. Now with its head blown off, it"s scary it hasn"t died completely. It was still rolling and tumbling on the ground as many of the rats around were directly crushed to death from the tumbling.
However, if there are no accidents. It obviously won"t support these death throes for much longer.
The sound of fighting at the mouth of the valley gradually subsided.
After seeing the dying Golden Rat King fall to the ground with flesh and blood corroding. A large number of rats fled in fear. Such a large swarm of rats had completely collapsed their formation and scattered.
"My Lord, three brothers have died in battle, and many others are wounded."
After the fight, w.a.n.g Dahu came to Yi Tianxing with blood still on his face, looking a little depressed as he reported.
"Please bring me the bodies of the brothers who died in battle." Yi Tianxing nodded and said. There were casualties, and this is a matter of great importance for his people. If it weren"t for the fact that he stood at the front, all of the three hundred soldiers would have died among the rat swarm. None of them would have escaped alive.
The three bodies were quickly sent to Yi Tianxing. Although some parts were incomplete and some flesh and blood were eaten by the rats, each body was still left intact. Before each soldier died, they were unflinchingly fighting desperately against their foes. This can be seen from their posture before death.
"All of you will continue living on after this battle. Even if you die, the soul of fallen heroes will live on forever."
With a wave of Yi Tianxing"s hand, a strange red light flashed by. Then the three bodies on the ground had disappeared in the red light.
When w.a.n.g Dahu and other soldiers saw this, fanaticism flashed in their eyes.
They have seen such a move once last night and know that these brothers who died in battle have been integrated into another mysterious place. As their Lord said, as long as one dies in battle. Even if the body perishes, the spirit will not perish under the protection of their Lord but will be immortalized.
"Send the wounded back immediately to the village and request the two doctors to dress and spread the medicine on the soldiers." Yi Tianxing ordered.
Without further hesitation, Yi Tianxing turned and strode toward the position of the Golden Rat King and Digging Insect Fiend as he flashed a cold light in his eyes.
The Golden Rat King is dying and its body has exposed the bare bones which are already a shocking sight to see. Depending on the situation, it would absolutely never survive. Death is already an established destiny.
"Your luck is bad, and you unexpectedly encountered the Digging Insect Fiend. Both sides have fought to the verge of death. Otherwise, my victory is uncertain against either of you. If I had fought either of you, I perhaps would have fallen in battle. Unfortunately, in this world. There are no ifs, so… I"ll send both of you to h.e.l.l."
Yi Tianxing looked at the Rat King"s twitching body on the ground and said with a sneer.
The bloodstained body filled up with one share baleful Qi.
Hua!!
A black and white Yin and Yang Lock appeared, instantly falling towards the Golden Rat King. It wrapped around the mutilated body. Then, the whole Yin and Yang Lock mysteriously merge into the Golden Rat King. As if it became illusory, but one can still hear the crisp clangs of iron chains. After the illusory chains became real again, it emerged from the Golden Rat King"s body with a golden rat-like soul. Forcefully wrapping it and drawing it out.
Even if it was bound by the Yin and Yang Lock. The Golden Rat King"s soul was still struggling, baring its fangs and making screeching noises.
Unfortunately, there is no impact on Yi Tianxing at all. The chains just dragged the soul into his Yin and Yang eyes without hesitation.
In the same way, a Yin and Yang Lock once again pulls out the soul of the Digging Insect Fiend and merges it into the Yin and Yang eyes. It was directly suppressed and refined by his Innate Yin and Yang Divine Diagram.
After the battle, the number of Yin and Yang Locks has increased again, reaching a total of nine. It was not as though many rats weren"t killed this time, but not enough souls have been plundered. In addition, the number of Yin and Yang Locks seemed to have reached the limit after there were nine. There was no way to further increase this number, so the rest of the souls were refined and completely absorbed by the Innate Yin and Yang Divine Diagram. The Divine Diagram seemed to be completely saturated. Almost as if it was getting ready for a transformation.
According to Yi Tianxing"s guess, this should happen after the Yin and Yang eyes have reached a certain level. The Destiny Aperture seems to be getting ready to evolve to the next stage. Now it is acc.u.mulating the strength required for its transformation.
He still needs to hunt a lot more souls in preparation.
"My Lord, it seems that our Xuan Huang Village really has a strong destiny. Unexpectedly, the problem with the Digging Insect Fiend would be resolved by its encounter with the Golden Rat King. Both sides fought desperately to the point of death so it didn"t take much effort to solve these two hidden dangers. Otherwise, the whole village would have faced two great catastrophes."
Huang Chengyuan smiled and stroked his beard as he said with a hint of joy.
In his heart, he thought to himself, "There are not so many coincidences in the world. It seems that Xuan Huang Village has a great destiny. This great destiny should be greatly attributed to the Lord. As the saying goes, to work hard and unite Heaven and Earth is the same principle as inviting the fortunes of Heaven and Earth."
Huang Chengyuan has his own understanding of what had just happened.
There are not so many coincidences in the world. There must be some inexplicable reason for these coincidences.
The recognition of Yi Tianxing in his heart has further deepened a bit.
In this turbulent world, only by following those with strong destinies can one survive and live a better life. They can build a strong country together.
"When there is destiny, it will be easier to unite the people."
Yi Tianxing said with a smile: "Elder Huang, a wooden wall must be built around the village. Although it may not necessarily be very effective against many monsters, it can play a certain role of deterrence. Some ordinary fierce beasts may be unable to rush in at will, and it can also bring a sense of security to the villagers."
This is obviously an urgent task on their agenda. They need to finish building a wooden wall around for the village. If taking into account what happened today, if they really had a wooden wall outside and around the village. They can rely on this extra layer of defence to keep most of the rats out while fighting. Maybe those three soldiers wouldn"t have died.
"Well, this old man has written this down. There is a forest in the valley, so the trees can be cut down for the wall. Using the felled trees to build the wooden walls and houses for the villagers are no problem. However, judging from our current situation, the fierce beasts and monsters will still attack the village at any time. It will not be smooth sailing as we try and complete these constructions."
Huang Chengyuan said with a deep voice.
As one can see from the previous situation, they are facing a life and death crisis at every moment. The monsters outside won"t wait to attack and let them build up their homes and fortifications quietly.
During this process, they are bound to face many challenges.
"We are starting from scratch. It has never been possible to do anything great with just red lips and white teeth. Especially in these troubled times. We have to fight hard for this piece of Heaven and Earth and pave the way with our flesh and blood to create our homes. I have already prepared for this. With this command, you will go and build our village. As for other matters, it will naturally be left to both me and the army behind me."
The corners of Yi Tianxing"s mouth raised as he said naturally.
The three hundred soldiers behind him all showed their expressions of determination. Looking at the figure standing in front, they felt a strong pillar supporting them. Making them believe they are indestructible with this support.
The people in the village are collecting a large number of ferocious rat corpses left behind. Peeling the skin off, removing the bones and turning the rat meat into jerky. They have already become accustomed to this. Some of the inedible internal organs were thrown directly into the river, attracting a large school of piranhas to plunder it. The feeding frenzy for the piranhas today will become fish meat tomorrow.
A large number of people began going to the edge of the woods to cut down the trees. These big trees were cut down and dragged back to the village one by one. When in the hands of the carpenters, they were directly turned into a variety of wood resources to be used for constructing the wooden wall outside the village.
Throughout the process, there were surprisingly no accidents.
Even so, it was still unsafe in the valley. Almost every moment, there will be all kinds of fierce beasts or monsters appearing near the village.
A large number of green-skinned monsters ran from out of nowhere and rushed into the valley.
There were also a large pack of wolves coming to attack the valley.
Then a large number of vultures appeared in the sky out of nowhere and began attacking the village.
All kinds of monsters and beast didn"t give Xuan Huang Village a moment of respite. As they continued to fight battle after battle, this leads to more and more deaths. A large number of soldiers and civilians under the bombardment of monsters and beast continued to fall. As the staff in the village kept downsizing.
In the twinkling of an eye, more than half a month had pa.s.sed by.
A wooden wall was now erected to guard the whole village. Although simple and crude, it was enough for the villagers to stand on the wooden wall which was three meters high. The perimeter of the wall was about four to five miles around the village. In addition to the time taken for necessary rest, the construction was going on all the time. Some villagers were so tired that they had just fainted on the ground. But after awakening, they still did not hesitate to come forward to help. They continued construction on the wooden walls and houses.
During this period, the villagers in the whole village have undergone an unprecedented transformation.
The original expression of fear and anxiety was completely swept away and replaced by expressions of fort.i.tude and perseverance. All eyes held a common and firm belief.
