Chapter 504: Chapter 333: Fireworks Filling the Sky (5)

Her lower abdomen contracted and twisted.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

More than ten rat-men were completely wrapped in Yellow Silk. It was like stepping on a glue trap; their entire bodies were stuck together. Their short limbs struggled incessantly but were firmly glued to their bodies. They tried to tear the Silk Threads with their sharp fangs, but even their teeth became stuck, making it impossible for them to even open their mouths. They could only let out terrified and helpless squeaks.

Zhuang Ya frowned and swung her blade, cleaving a rat-man in half before crushing another to death with her Shield. Because she was afraid of friendly fire, she also couldn’t use her Fire Sea Skill. “You dare bite me?” she said with a hint of anger, viciously raising a foot and kicking out.

BANG!

The one-meter-tall rat-man was actually sent flying by her kick.

“SQUEAK—!” Blood sprayed from the rat-man’s mouth along with its scream, drawing a red line in the air before it crashed to the ground, dead.

“Is my foot this strong?” Zhuang Ya was a bit surprised. But she quickly realized that this was a trait of her new High Heels: kicking attacks had a +100% Effect. Combined with her excellent figure and long legs, a full-force kick already packed quite a punch. “Then bring it on.”

Her long legs swung, sending rat-men flying into the sky. Another rat-man burst out from the ground. Zhuang Ya stomped her heel down fiercely.

SQUELCH!

The rat-man’s head split open, its brains bursting out.

“Truly disgusting…” Zhuang Ya grew even angrier.

Su Qin’s Iron Armor also took a claw swipe. She immediately jumped back, nocking an Arrow to her Bow. At a moment like this, there was simply no time to aim; she just drew the string and fired. Her long-term training still paid off, and a rat-man was shot in mid-air.

“Continuous Fire!”

Su Qin pulled out three Arrows and fired them in rapid succession.

THWACK THWACK THWACK!

All three Arrows hit with perfect Accuracy. The rat-man fell limply to the ground, breathing its last.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!

A massive volley of Arrows rained down. Nearly half of the Female Elves jumped into the trees, opening up some distance. The rat-men couldn’t Attack them directly. These Elves were almost all Tier Three Longbowmen, clearly boasting abundant experience. Their shooting was decisive, and their Accuracy was incredibly high. Dozens of rat-men were struck by Arrows and pinned to the ground.

“There are more on the east side! Continuous Fire!””Focus your fire together! Continuous Fire!””Help with follow-up shots! Continuous Fire!”

Even more rat-men were shot. Half of them were killed outright by multiple Arrows. The other half were left struggling with Piercing wounds, trying to burrow into the dirt. But Big Sabers came crashing down on them.

“Taste my blade!”

SLASH!

“Continuous Dance! Continuous Dance!”

The Female Swordsmen brandished their Big Sabers; the rat-men were simply no match for them. Only their initial strike when bursting from underground could land on the Female Soldiers, but since these Female Soldiers were all wearing Iron Armor, it was completely useless. The Female Swordsmen had all chosen Attack Speed for their Enhancement. They were already extremely adept at dealing with Light Armor enemies, and now, facing these rat-men with exceedingly weak Defense, the creatures simply couldn’t resist the two-handed Big Sabers and died in a single slash.

“Thrust! Tang Ruan, how are you holding up? Thrust!”

The Female Spear Soldiers completely ignored the rat-men’s Attacks. Holding their Long Spears level, their Bodies charged forward. The rat-men were quickly turned into rat skewers.

Tang Ruan laughed. “I’m fine. These little mice sure are squeaking Truly happily. Thrust!”

“Let’s move in too! Continuous Dance!”

The nearby Female Swordsmen had also pressed forward. With the two Soldier Types—Sword Soldiers and Spear Soldiers—converging, the hundreds of rat-men that Tang Ruan had aggroed were swiftly killed.

Rays of Treatment light descended. Some bite and scratch wounds immediately recovered. The Female Soldiers were practically unscathed; only a few had their faces scratched, but now they had achieved full Recovery. Quite a few Elves had their Leather Armor torn and suffered some minor injuries. But the rat-men’s Attack only consisted of that initial strike, with almost no Pursuit, so the injuries the Elves sustained were quickly healed as well. The rat-men struck once and fled, quickly burrowing into the soil, but they did not launch a second Attack.

All the rat-men on the surface had been dealt with. The chaotic battlefield soon fell quiet.

This battle had been fought in utter chaos. There were about 150 rat-man corpses on the ground, and blood was everywhere. The entire terrain was a mess. The previously emerald-green grassland was rendered completely unrecognizable. Holes dotted the landscape, and the ground was covered in haphazardly piled dirt. It looked like a Building site that had just finished demolition. The remaining rat-men didn’t come out, all hiding within their holes. Only the thirty or so near Gu Qing were wailing and struggling within the Silk Threads.

The Female Elves on the ground quickly climbed into the trees; the canopy was their true area of expertise in combat. Zhao Chi’s Female Soldiers didn’t need to dodge at all. They just stood their ground. After all, they all had Iron Armor and could just power through the slaughter head-on. They weren’t afraid of the rat-men launching sneak Attacks; they were only afraid that the rat-men wouldn’t come to fight.

“Quiet!” Zhao Chi ordered.

Everyone immediately ceased their movements, carefully listening to their surroundings.

“SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK SQUEAK…””SQUEAK SQUEAK!”

The rat-men around Gu Qing were still screaming miserably.

“Gu Qing,” Zhao Chi said, looking at those rat-men.

Gu Qing nodded and pointed a finger. Silk Threads shot out, sealing the mouths of all the rat-men. The surroundings were finally quiet.

Ignoring the dirt mixed with rat blood, Zhuang Ya lay flat on the ground and listened closely for any movement. “My lord, they are all down below.” She pointed downward. But the rat-men didn’t dare to come out anymore. Their sneak Attack had failed, and they had suffered heavy casualties. Rat-men weren’t very brave to begin with, and now they had been thoroughly terrified by the beating.

Su Qin said, “Zhao Chi, I can send someone back to grab shovels, but the Effect might not be very good.”

Zhuang Ya chuckled. “My lord, let me try?” She opened her hands, and her pale, tender palms turned slightly red.

Zhao Chi naturally knew what she wanted to do. A massive fire wouldn’t be able to spread out in all directions inside the tunnels, so all its power would be concentrated, allowing it to burn further than it would on the surface. It was indeed a good idea.

Zhao Chi nodded. “Alright. Everyone, back away from the holes so you don’t get burned.”

The Female Soldiers moved further away.

Zhuang Ya gave a soft laugh as the Flames in her hands surged. She had been holding it in for a long time, and now she could finally unleash it. She squatted on the ground and pressed her arms deep into a hole.

WHOOSH!

Fierce Flames gushed out.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Flames erupted from more than a dozen holes in the vicinity. Thick grey smoke billowed into the air.
