Chapter 1390: Zurg Vs "Zurg"
As the Pandarens managed to defeat the very first Brood Rat Mother through the WARE event, they were elated to see a new teleport portal emerging right above them. Knowing that reinforcements would emerge from it to aid them against those Rat Zurgs, they quickly form a defensive circle around the portal.
They were sure that the minions that emerged from the portal would not backstab them as well as giving them some breathing s.p.a.ce to appear out of the portal. But what they did not expect was that they heard a monster sound that was similar to the Rat Zurgs when behind them.
Only a few of the cultivators can spare the effort to look back, causing them to be alarmed momentarily. And the shock eventually spread to the entire defensive circle when the allied monsters did act as the cultivators thought they would. Maybe the mastermind might have appreciated the gesture but her underlings were too eager for a fight.
Yes, minions who were watching the stream, waiting for their turn to be deployed already had known that such an outcome was viable. Who were to fight the Rat Zurgs other than the authentic ones?
Zurglings that emerged from the portal jumped over the defensive circle that the cultivators had prepared and leapt into the action directly, killing the Rat Zurgs. It seems as if the Zurglings had experience hunting down the Rat Zurgs but not many know that the Zurg Queen and her children did not get their place in the harsh Southern Region of the Farming World by existing peacefully.
There were other Zurg Queens alike just as there were as many Brood Rat Mothers in the Undercity at the moment when the swarm began their conquest for unification. It was through the survival of the strongest that they were able to emerge as the surviving swarm in the Southern Swarm. That was also how the Zurg Queen was also able to have a variety of Zurgs under her care and command.
Also, if not for the active Friend or Foe identification through the half animal mask that the cultivators were wearing, they might have accidentally attacked Jin"s allied Zurgs by accident. But to see those Zurglings pouring into the battlefield and annihilating the Rat Zurgs gave the Pandarens hope that they could potentially have the advantage against this menace swarm that they have to encounter further down the road to the centre of the Undercity"s Hub.
After slaughtering the remaining Rat Zurgs within the vicinity, the swarm began to split into groups, as if they could already sense where the remaining Brood Rat Mothers were. Ma Yue Han, the Blind Bat Pandawan who was at the scene had already decided that this was a good opportunity to activate another WARE event to follow the split groups of Zurglings.
This was also used to inform the others that there were "Rat Zurgs" that were on their side of the battle, not knowing the whole truth that Jin coincidentally had the same kind of "manpower" on his side to defeat the Brood Rat Mothers.
But just as Yue Han finished creating his WARE event for the Pandarens to follow, he realised that there was also a WARE event that had popped up right beside him. When he opened his Pandamonium App to check who was the creator, the WARE marker started to move intensely fast towards his direction.
"YUE HANNNN! Move away!!" His sister shouted as she was sent flying in his direction. While he would love for her to crash and burn (perhaps because of the sibling love-hate relations.h.i.+p), every man counts in this particular fight and he decided to save Yue Wen by using his Blind Bat Cultivation techniques.
The WARE marker was now in sight of Yue Han"s vision but he did not just see a Chimaera Variant that was standing at the top of the rubble.
"Heh heh…I think I hit the jackpot." Yue Wen said as she thanked her brother while attempting to heal herself. "It"s a Demon Rat General that is on the field."
"Lol, it"s not just any General." Yue Han raised his sword up, trembling with a bit of fear. "It"s the one that Brother Deng Long was hunting for. That Demon Rat Air Force General Gnawbones."
"Hahah, you better tell him to not bring any more robots to the field, or else he would steal them again." Yue Wen said as she was actually more worried about the Chimaera variant that was beside the Demon Rat General.
Even though it was smaller in build, the Demon Rat Variant was holding on to a ma.s.sive equipment that overshadowed his size. However, every modern cultivator who caught a glimpse of the equipment immediately recognised it.
An odd looking gatling gun pack equipped on the rat.
"You got defeated by a rat with a rapid fire gun?" Yue Han joked but his sister was waiting to see who had the last laugh when the rat stepped forth and started aiming at them. Yue Han a.s.sumed that they were normal gun shots until his sister forced him to move for cover.
As the shots. .h.i.t the cover, large popping sounds were heard continuously like popcorn, causing Yue Han to drop to his guard and ignore Yue Wen"s warning. The Pandaren attempted to dash towards the Gatling Gun Chimaera and when he saw that the remnants of those bullets were literally as he had imagined them to be, he sprinted even faster to reach the Demon Rat.
However, as he crossed over those leftover "popcorns", the Blind Bat did not expect to be blindsided by the attack as those popcorns exploded right underneath him, causing him to be thrown back.
Gnawbones laughed hysterically as it watched how pathetic the humans were fighting his a.s.signed Chimaera variant. "You think you can touch me? If I cannot rule the skies as I am supposed to then I will make sure that Corney Gatling will "pop" you humans back to where you came from!"
