Chapter 237 Rat King
Chapter 237 Rat King
Chu Tian roared, and the steel bars swept like a gust of wind, forcing back several mutant rats that pounced on Lin Yu. He grabbed Lin Yu's hand and protected her behind him. "Go!" he roared.
Lin Yu's face was pale, obviously frightened by the sudden attack. She tightly grasped Chu Tian's hand, as if it was her only life-saving straw.
Chu Tian protected Lin Yu and fought and retreated. The mutant rats were fearless and rushed forward one after another. Chu Tian had several more wounds on his body, and his clothes were stained with blood.
"Damn it!" Chu Tian cursed inwardly. These rats were much more difficult to deal with than he had imagined. He had to find a way to break out.
He noticed a store selling sporting goods in the mall, and his eyes lit up. Got it!
Chu Tian dragged Lin Yu and ran towards the sporting goods store. The mutant rats behind him chased after them relentlessly, making creepy squeaking sounds.
Rushing into the sporting goods store, Chu Tian quickly closed the door and held the door handle with a baseball bat. The mutant rats banged against the door frantically, making loud bangs.
"Huh..." Chu Tian breathed a sigh of relief, temporarily safe. He looked around, looking for weapons he could use.
Lin Yu was still in shock, shivering against the wall. "Are we...are we going to be trapped here and die?" she asked in a tearful voice.
Chu Tian patted her shoulder and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." He picked up a bow and arrow, put the arrow on it, and aimed at the mutant rat at the door.
"Swoosh!" The sharp arrow shot out and hit a mutant mouse in the head. The mutant mouse twitched a few times and fell to the ground.
"Wow... so awesome!" Lin Yu looked at Chu Tian in surprise, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Chu Tian smiled and continued to shoot other mutant rats. The power of the bow and arrow was much greater than that of steel bars, and soon, the mutant rats at the door were cleared.
Chu Tian pushed open the door and looked around vigilantly. After making sure there was no danger, he took Lin Yu out of the sporting goods store.
The mall was still in a mess, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood. Chu Tian pulled Lin Yu and moved forward carefully.
Suddenly, Chu Tian stopped. He felt a strong aura approaching.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yu asked nervously.
Chu Tian did not answer. He stared straight ahead, holding the bow and arrow tightly in his hand.
A huge figure appeared in their field of vision. It was a huge mutant rat, its eyes flashing scarlet light, and its sharp claws glowing coldly.
This mutant rat was much larger and more ferocious than the ones they had encountered before. It let out a low roar and pounced towards Chu Tian and Lin Yu.
Chu Tian shot an arrow without hesitation, hitting the mutant mouse in the head. However, the arrow did not cause fatal damage to it. The mutant mouse just shook its head and continued to pounce on them.
"Damn it!" Chu Tian cursed inwardly. The defense of this mutant mouse was so high! He quickly put on the second arrow and aimed at the mutant mouse's eyes.
At this moment, the mutant rat suddenly stopped, raised its head, let out a shrill roar, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
Chu Tian and Lin Yu were both stunned. They didn't understand what was going on.
A figure walked out of the darkness. It was a tall woman wearing a black tights and holding a sharp dagger in her hand.
"Who are you?" Chu Tian asked vigilantly.
The woman did not answer. She walked to the body of the mutant mouse and cut off its head with a dagger. Then, she turned around and stared coldly at Chu Tian and Lin Yu.
"Are you... here to steal my prey?"
The woman's cold voice broke the silence, with a hint of hostility in her tone. She was tall, with a black tights that outlined her perfect curves, and the cold light of the dagger in her hand was chilling.
Chu Tian frowned slightly. He felt that this woman was not easy to deal with. "We didn't mean to rob her. We just happened to pass by."
"Coincidence?" The woman sneered. "Is there such a coincidence in the world? I have been tracking this mutant giant rat for three whole days!"
Lin Yu hid behind Chu Tian, grabbing the corner of his clothes in fear. Chu Tian patted her hands, signaling her not to be afraid, and then said to the woman: "We really don't know this is your prey. If you don't believe it, we can leave."
The woman didn't say anything, just stared at them coldly. The dagger in her hand was still dripping with blood, and the scarlet blood was particularly dazzling in the dim light.
The atmosphere was tense for a while. Chu Tian held his bow tightly, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.
Suddenly, the woman laughed, her laughter full of mockery. "Leave? Do you think it's so easy to leave?"
Chu Tian's heart sank, he knew that something was wrong.
"There is a precious crystal core in the body of this mutant giant rat, which is priceless. Now that you have seen it, don't even think about leaving alive!" said the woman, pointing the dagger in her hand at Chu Tian.
Chu Tian took a deep breath. He knew a fierce battle was inevitable. "What do you want?"
“It’s simple. Hand over your supplies, and then…” The woman licked her lips, a trace of greed flashing in her eyes, “Leave the girl here.”
Chu Tian was furious, "You are dreaming!"
"Then don't blame me for being rude!" The woman flashed and pounced towards Chu Tian like a ghost.
Chu Tian was prepared. He quickly pulled the bow and shot a sharp arrow.
The woman dodged the arrow flexibly without slowing down at all. The dagger in her hand flashed a cold light and pierced Chu Tian's throat.
Chu Tian dodged sideways and punched the woman in the abdomen with his backhand.
The woman groaned and took a few steps back. She didn't expect Chu Tian to be so strong.
"You have some skills." The woman wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes, "This is more interesting!"
She rushed towards Chu Tian again, each move was fatal. Chu Tian protected Lin Yu behind him while dealing with the woman.
Although Lin Yu was scared, she did not cry or scream. Instead, she held on to the corner of Chu Tian's clothes tightly, giving him silent support.
The battle became more and more intense, and Chu Tian had several more wounds on his body. The woman's attacks became more and more crazy, as if she wanted to kill Chu Tian.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the mall.
"What's going on?" The woman stopped attacking and looked around vigilantly.
Chu Tian was also confused. He felt a powerful aura approaching.
A huge figure walked out of the darkness. It was a mutant rat of even larger size, its eyes flashing with a faint green light, and it let out a series of low growls.
"Mutated Rat King!" The woman's face changed drastically. She didn't expect to meet the Rat King here.
The mutant rat king let out a deafening roar and rushed towards them.
The woman knew that she was no match for the Rat King. She glanced at Chu Tian and Lin Yu, and a complicated look flashed in her eyes.
"Go!" she yelled, then turned and ran in another direction.
Chu Tian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the woman would let them go first.
"What are you still standing there for? Go!" the woman urged again.
Chu Tian no longer hesitated. He pulled Lin Yu and ran towards the mall exit.
The mutant rat king was chasing closely, and its speed was even faster than the previous mutant giant rat.
Chu Tian and Lin Yu ran desperately, they didn't know if they could escape the Rat King's pursuit...
