Chapter 2365 - 2365: Serpent Horde vs. Rodent Horde (Ten Updates)

This idea startled Wanyan Second Master. Given Wanyan Hongfeng's temperament, if he returned without any accomplishments and with ten Peak Masters dead, he would definitely be met with Wanyan Hongfeng's endless wrath. This was not something Wanyan Second Master wanted to witness.

"No, the Sun Shooting Bow must be brought back!" Wanyan Second Master muttered to himself, watching the ongoing battle between the Corpse Ghost Dragon and the Fat Jiao, taking a deep breath.

Judging from the current situation, although the Corpse Ghost Dragon was at a disadvantage, it could still hold off the Fat Jiao for a while. During this time, just as Wanyan Ming suggested, if he dispatched the Long-toothed Rat army, they would surely be able to capture Ye Qing.

So, at this moment, Wanyan Second Master dared not think further. He took a deep breath and immediately issued a whistle, commanding the Long-toothed Rat army to surround Ye Qing.

By this time, their Long-toothed Rats had already arrived, only hidden beneath the grass. Upon receiving Wanyan Second Master's command, the Long-toothed Rat Swarm immediately crawled out from the grass, producing a rustling sound all around.

In the distance, Ye Qing, who was amazed by the Fat Jiao's prowess, suddenly heard this rustling sound and was startled. Looking around, he found that the valley had somehow filled with a black swarm of Long-toothed Rats, rushing towards him like a tide.

This scene was not unfamiliar to Ye Qing; he knew very well the combat power of the Long-toothed Rat Swarm. Seeing so many Long-toothed Rats swarming towards him, Ye Qing was taken aback and hastily shouted, "Jiao, be careful! The Long-toothed Rat Swarm is attacking!"

The Fat Jiao also noticed the Long-toothed Rat Swarm, but unlike Ye Qing's panic and shock, a hint of ecstasy flashed in its eyes, which was puzzling. What on earth was this Fat Jiao up to?

Just as Ye Qing was bewildering and looking for a place to dodge, the Fat Jiao surprisingly raised its head and let out a roar. Although this roar didn't carry any power, the sound was melodious and traveled far, as if it was sending a signal.

Ye Qing didn't know what the Fat Jiao was doing, but with the Fat Jiao facing the Corpse Ghost Dragon outside, he couldn't just retreat into the cave to hide alone. So, he could only try to find a place to dodge while shouting loudly, urging the Fat Jiao to retreat. However, the Fat Jiao didn't retreat, continuing to engage the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

At this moment, a noise emerged from the cave behind Ye Qing. It was as if many things were moving, rubbing against the ground. Due to the volume of the sound, it was loud enough for Ye Qing to hear clearly.

"What is that?" Ye Qing immediately turned his head for a glance and was shocked. Within the cave, countless snake swarms had appeared without notice. These swarms surged like tides towards the mouth of the cave. The previous rustling sounds were all caused by their movement.

Ye Qing had encountered these snake swarms on the mountaintop before. At that time, even the numerous people of the Church dared not underestimate the swarms, for their numbers were overwhelming. If one were to fall into the swarms, they would certainly face a fate of Ten Thousand Snakes Penetrate the Heart. Ever since witnessing the swarms, Ye Qing was profoundly shaken, never imagining so many snakes could congregate together.

Who could have thought he'd encounter these swarms again upon visiting Mount Wendao? The snake swarms moved like tidal waves, quickly reaching the cave entrance, then orderly charged out of the cave, spreading rapidly outside like well-trained soldiers.

Ye Qing was left dumbfounded. As the swarms emerged, they deliberately avoided him. Within two meters of Ye Qing, there wasn't a single snake. Undoubtedly, this was due to the Fat Jiao's influence, so the swarms steered clear of Ye Qing.

The snake swarms quickly spread out across the valley, with no apparent end in sight. Still, more snakes continued to stream out of the cave, seemingly endless. The sheer number was terrifying. With so many snakes gathered together, the mere sight could frighten many to death!

Despite managing to stay barely calm, knowing the swarms followed the Fat Jiao's orders and wouldn't attack him, Ye Qing's heart still trembled. Honestly, facing such a scene, anyone would be scared.

Meanwhile, chaos erupted on Wanyan Ming's side. Seeing the emerging snake swarms, everyone exclaimed in shock.

"What are those things?"

"Looks like snakes? How can there be so many?"

"Impossible! How could there be so many snakes? What a joke!"

"No joke; look, those snakes are still pouring out of the cave!"

"Oh my god, how many are there in total!"

Very few people aren't afraid of snakes, and a few people over here started retreating in fear. Although the snake swarm was still far away, they were truly terrified in their hearts.

Wanyan Second Master also gasped; he suddenly realized something was wrong. The number of snakes seems to be no less than that of the Long-toothed Rats. So, what would be the result when the Long-toothed Rats confronted the snake swarm?

Actually, there was no need for Wanyan Second Master to speculate; the outcome quickly became evident. The first batch of Long-toothed Rats and the first batch of snakes clashed quickly, but as expected, the result was evident.

Snakes naturally eat rats, and although the Long-toothed Rats have an amazing bite force, they are ultimately just mice, even smaller than ordinary ones. Just at the point of contact, the Long-toothed Rats were undoubtedly swallowed by the snakes.

The biggest feature of the Long-toothed Rats is the sheer numbers, which makes them very dangerous. Hundreds or even thousands of Long-toothed Rats can kill a tiger. With so many Long-toothed Rats, even a Peak Master would struggle to kill them all. Because of their numbers, they are terrifying and even ferocious!

In the past, when facing other snakes, even pythons, the Long-toothed Rats were fearless. Due to their sheer numbers, they would quickly kill the snakes and were never threatened by them.

But the current situation was different. There were indeed many Long-toothed Rats. However, the number of snakes was not inferior to them. With almost equal numbers, it came down to one-on-one fights. But can a rat fight a snake?

This question really doesn't even need thought. How could rats possibly beat snakes? As long as it's not a huge disparity in numbers, a snake can deal with five or six Long-toothed Rats without any pressure. After all, Long-toothed Rats are small. Even small snakes can swallow two or three Long-toothed Rats. Moreover, the snakes on Mount Wendao are not small.

After some skirmishes, the first batch of snakes, after getting full, quickly retreated, as if they were trained soldiers. Then the second batch of snakes rushed over to fight the second batch of Long-toothed Rats.

In such a clash, the first batch of Long-toothed Rats didn't know how many thousands were swallowed, but only three to five snakes were bitten to death. The disparity was evident. These Long-toothed Rats simply couldn't match this snake swarm!

In the distance, Ye Qing was dumbfounded and completely stunned. He originally thought the Long-toothed Rat Swarm of the Wanyan Family was their greatest reliance and the most difficult part to deal with. But it seems he was wrong. Although the Long-toothed Rat Swarm was formidable, they weren't without nemesis. For instance, the snake swarm on Mount Wendao was the natural enemy of the Long-toothed Rat Swarm!

As Ye Qing was in shock, the Long-toothed Rats and the snake swarm had clashed multiple rounds. And as expected, less than twenty snakes died on the snake swarm side, but one-tenth of the Long-toothed Rat Swarm, a full twenty thousand, were already eliminated. At this rate, how long could the two hundred thousand Long-toothed Rats last? They simply weren't enough for the snake swarm of Mount Wendao to feast on!

Moreover, snakes were still coming out continuously; even Ye Qing didn't know how many there were on the mountain. But the result of such a confrontation was bound to be the complete destruction of the Long-toothed Rat Swarm. There's no way they could have any advantage when encountering their natural enemies in equal numbers.

At this time, Ye Qing finally understood why Fat Jiao's eyes were filled with excitement when he saw the Long-toothed Rats earlier. It seems this guy wasn't afraid of the Long-toothed Rats at all; instead, he treated them as food.

No wonder, with so many snakes on Mount Wendao, the shortage of food was expected. Suddenly, twenty thousand Long-toothed Rats appeared out of nowhere, practically served to them as a feast. How could Fat Jiao not be excited? He immediately called the snake swarm down for a meal!

The Long-toothed Rat Swarm, which once forced the world's heroes to escape with nowhere to hide, ended up being treated as food on Mount Wendao. Such an outcome, even Wanyan Hongfeng probably didn't expect it!

Especially Wanyan Ming, that guy was already gaping in amazement. The Long-toothed Rat Swarm and Corpse Ghost Dragon were his two major trumps. Who could have thought, on Mount Wendao, both trumps would be useless?

The Corpse Ghost Dragon was blocked by Fat Jiao, and the Corpse Ghost Dragon was completely at a disadvantage, looking like it was about to be defeated. As for the Long-toothed Rat Swarm, weren't they all treated as food? Now, he had nothing to rely on!

Wanyan Second Master also changed his expression drastically; he could feel the crisis facing the Long-toothed Rat Swarm. Watching the snake swarm devour the Long-toothed Rat Swarm continuously, Wanyan Second Master felt his heart constrict. This was the very foundation the Wanyan Family relied on, the key to controlling the world's heroes, and it was being broken just like that? If this news were to spread, what then?

After a brief silence, Wanyan Second Master suddenly stood up, commanding the Long-toothed Rat Swarm to retreat while saying to Wanyan Ming, "We must retreat now, otherwise we'll all die here!"

At this moment, Wanyan Ming couldn't say anything; at this point, what else was there to say? Whether he could even preserve his life was another matter!
