Chapter Forty-One: The Mouse Does Not Finish
On the grass, splattered blood was everywhere, it was late summer, the sky and earth were hot, the corpses began to stink, swarms of flies flew around, making a noise that annoyed people's hearts.
Ye Yang looked calmly around, very uncertain what kind of demon beast had killed this group of people. However, from the moment he entered this valley, he felt being locked onto by countless auras. There must be something hidden in the darkness, staring at him with greedy eyes, as if looking at prey.
Carrying the Broken Flame Sword, Ye Yang coldly glanced around, and when he was sure there was nothing unusual, he swung his hand in a single motion, sending over ten fierce Fire God powers flying out, burning the bodies of those over ten warriors into ashes. This way, they wouldn't gradually rot and be devoured by wild beasts.
……
Ye Yang didn't rush along the road, but instead proceeded slowly and cautiously. He didn't dare to walk too quickly, for that would reveal his inner anxiety, giving the hunters hiding in the darkness an opportunity to strike!
Not far away, a series of "whooshing" calls came from ahead, and these calls were quite familiar!
Ye Yang was surprised and couldn't help but walk forward, the scene in front of him stunned him.
A giant boar was pushing against a huge tree that two people could hug, the boar's body was enormous, weighing around 500 catties. The tree was shaking back and forth, and in an instant, it came crashing down with a loud "boom"!
It stands to reason that a wild boar knocking over a big white radish is reasonable, but knocking over a giant tree that touches the sky seems a bit far-fetched. Obviously, this majestic boar in front of us is not an ordinary wild boar, but a legendary magical beast!
Ye Yang recognized it, before leaving Liang City, he had flipped through the "Yi Shou Zhi" for a night, and recognized that this wild boar was the legendary third-tier demonic beast, Iron-backed Boar, a kind of earth-attribute fierce beast with enormous strength. Its body was covered in thick bristles, and its back had been infused with pine resin over the years, forming an extremely hard armor. This Iron-backed Boar could be said to have the strongest defense among all third-tier demonic beasts!
……
At this time, a voice came from the west: "Brother, look, there is a three-stage demon beast over there, Iron-backed Boar. Let's go and kill it? If we kill it, we can become village heads, just like those two fools Liu Bang, haha!"
Ye Yang looked back and suddenly found that three warriors were walking towards the Iron-backed Wild Boar. The weakest one had the strength of a third-level Earth Realm, while the strongest one was at the peak of the third-level Earth Realm. The three men held sharp blades in their hands and charged towards the Iron-backed Wild Boar with determination.
"Roar!"
The Iron-backed Wild Boar discovered the enemy, immediately let out a sharp cry, and all the steel needles on its body stood up one by one. Instead of retreating, it launched an attack first, charging straight at the three people!
"Second brother, be careful!"
The big Han swung his Ghost Head Knife and fiercely chopped towards the Iron Back Boar's back!
"Clang!"
Golden stars splashed everywhere, but surprisingly failed to cut through the hedgehog's defense. Instead, another man let out a miserable cry as his leg was pierced by the dense thorns on the hedgehog's forehead, leaving it riddled with holes. The cry echoed across the vast wilderness!
"Bastard!"
The burly man with a knife flies into a rage, his entire body radiating a yellowish-brown energy. He raises his long knife high and strikes down again!
"Clang!"
Another loud crash, the Iron-backed Wild Boar let out a furious roar and shook its body, sending the opponent's long knife flying. Immediately after, it charged forward, countless sharp quills piercing into the big man's abdomen, and in an instant, he was dead!
……
Ye Yang's eyes widened in shock, clearly they were all at the third level of the Great Earth Realm, but those three people were no match for the Ironback Wild Boar. No wonder the "Beast Record" warned that one should never provoke an Ironback Wild Boar, this beast that was impervious to swords and guns was simply a harbinger of death!
Seeing that the strongest had already died, and the other two were fleeing in disarray, they hastily ran towards a distant hillside, escaping with their lives!
But suddenly a burst of noisy "chirping" sounds came from the air, and immediately afterwards, the green grass on the mountain slope began to tremble, shaking all over the mountains!
"What? What?!"
Two big men had not yet reacted, suddenly let out a hoarse cry, some black things climbed onto their bodies, struggling to gnaw, in the blink of an eye, two people fell down, and only two bloody skeletons were left!
Ye Yang watched with gritted teeth, he didn't have any chance to call for help, just blinked his eyes, and the three people died unjustly!
The entire lawn was trembling, and soon, a dense cluster of things appeared on the ground. The murderer was among them - a kind of all-black rat!
Ye Yang took a deep breath: "Heavens! Is this really the Unyielding Mouse?"
Bu Jin Shu, "Yi Shou Zhi" records that it is a first-class demon beast, living in groups, breeding rapidly, with very few natural enemies. It has extremely sharp teeth, capable of gnawing through everything, even biting through steel. Ordinary blades cannot pose a threat to them. More importantly, Bu Jin Shu acts collectively and breeds extremely quickly, making it impossible to exterminate, hence its name!
Ye Yang secretly cursed his bad luck, never expecting to encounter such a terrifying existence. Now that he thought about hiding, it was too late. The mouse's sense of smell was extremely keen, and as long as there was the scent of a stranger, it could be detected within a few meters!
Compared to the three-stage magical beast Ironback Boar, the Not-Entirely-Rat is actually even more terrifying!
At this moment, the Iron-backed Wild Boar turned over the corpse and discovered its enemy Ye Yang in the distance. It immediately charged forward without any regard, letting out a sharp roar!
"Clang!"
Ye Yang drew out the Broken Flame Sword from behind and smiled slightly: "Let me transcend you, this beast!"
With a burst of energy, the Fire God's residual aura in his arm rapidly transformed into electric power, and several intense purple lightning bolts appeared around the sword tip. A thunderous slash fell - Wild Thunder Slash!
"Hiss!"
The Iron-backed Wild Boar also provoked the wrong corner of 'color', just one sword, and even the skull was split open, the body was cut into two segments, blood splattered everywhere, a terrible sight.
Ye Yang let out a breath, and indeed, the power of the sixth level of the Earth Element was far beyond that of the Iron Back Boar. With just one sword strike, the boar's head would be completely unable to withstand it!
However, at this time, countless mice flooded over from all directions.
"Chirp... chirp..."
Accompanied by ear-piercing screams, a group of rodents quickly submerged the body of the Iron-backed Hog Badger, and in just a few seconds, the hard shell of the Iron-backed Hog Badger was torn apart!
A group of mice rushed towards Ye Yang, as if they also wanted to tear him apart.
"Hmm!"
Ye Yang hummed softly, secretly mobilizing the true energy of the Fire God's residual volume. Suddenly, a fierce flame vortex appeared around his body, tightly protecting himself within it. This was the protective aura condensed from the Fire God's power, enough to defend against these small creatures!
The mice let out a shrill cry and charged at Ye Yang's feet, but were suddenly bounced back by the wall and burned into flying ash in mid-air. However, this group of mice continued to pounce forward, wave after wave, relentless and unyielding.
Ye Yang finally understood why many top-notch players of the fifth level had also fallen in the outer reaches of the Qingyun Mountains. Once they encountered these mice, if they couldn't kill them all, even with overwhelming strength, they would be drained of their power and become a meal for the mice.
With this thought, Ye Yang strode resolutely forward, his several leaps causing numerous flames to erupt from the ground, incinerating countless rodents, as he rushed towards the distance.
