Chapter 388 Rat Man
Gu Yang's whole body was tense, the spiritual power in his body was quietly circulating, and a thin layer of protective energy had secretly condensed in his palms.
He originally thought that the visitor was an elder of the palace. He was not sure about the other party's strength, but it was definitely stronger than his. If a fight broke out, he could only hope that Hu Qing would win.
But when he turned around, he saw Hu Qing standing aside with a strange expression on his face, his brows furrowed, and confusion and vigilance flashing in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yang asked in a low voice. Before Hu Qing could answer, a noisy voice came from outside the cave, accompanied by heavy footsteps and the sound of metal colliding.
Hu Qing did not answer, but instead signaled Gu Yang to use his spiritual sense to take a look.
"Master Rat, that damn thief is right up ahead! He not only stole our treasures, he even took away my wife... Wuuuuuuu..."
A shrill voice was crying, with an exaggerated tone, as if someone had suffered a great injustice.
Gu Yang was stunned, and his expression suddenly became strange.
He quickly released his spiritual sense to investigate, and saw that not far outside the cave, a group of orcs were surrounding an old man with a rat head, wearing a yellow robe and holding a strange magical weapon, and were approaching this side aggressively.
The old man with the rat head was short, but his pair of green bean-sized eyes flashed with a cold light.
He held a rusty arrow in his hand. The arrow was suspended in the air, slowly rotating, as if guiding the direction.
Hu Qing glanced at Xiao Zi, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, his eyes full of helplessness and ridicule, as if to say:
"If you want to steal treasures, then just steal them. Why do you want to steal someone's wife?"
Xiao Zi was originally lying lazily on the side, but when he heard this, his fur instantly stood up, his purple scales stood up, and a low dragon roar came from his throat.
It suddenly raised its head, anger burning in its golden vertical pupils, and its figure flashed like a purple lightning, rushing out of the cave in an instant!
"Ouch——!"
Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other and hurried to catch up.
As soon as I walked out of the cave, I saw Xiao Zi had already landed in front of the group of orcs. His purple shadow was as fast as lightning, and his power was astonishing.
The orcs were frightened by the sudden pressure and took a few steps back. Only the old man with the rat head squinted his eyes and remained calm.
"Master, it's him! He even stole my little pinkie! Woo woo woo..."
The fox orc who had been crying earlier pointed at Xiao Zi, and approached the rat-headed old man with a flattering look on his face, even hypocritically wiping away the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes.
Xiao Zi was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and his dragon claws left several deep marks on the ground.
How could a noble dragon like him possibly rob a hairy orc? This was a sheer insult!
Hu Qing and Gu Yang walked forward, but their eyes did not stay on the fox orc, but were fixed on the rusty arrow in the hand of the rat-headed old man.
The arrow was suspended in the air, its tip constantly trembling, pointing directly at Xiao Zi, and was obviously the key to tracking them.
When the rat man saw two more people appear, he looked at them warily at first, thinking they were elders of the palace.
But when he realized that Gu Yang and Hu Qing's auras were not strong, he suddenly grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and laughed strangely:
"I'm so lucky today! You little thief actually keep two humans? Perfect! I can catch them and bring them back to nourish me!"
Gu Yang was immediately amused when he heard this: "Oh, the rat is so arrogant even after becoming a spirit?"
The rat man's face darkened, the arrow in his hand trembled violently, and he said sternly:
"How dare you! This Master is a direct descendant of the Treasure Hunting Rat Clan. How dare you insult me?!"
Hu Qing didn't bother to talk nonsense and asked directly: "What is your relationship with the palace?"
The rat man was startled, then became alert: "Why are you asking about the palace?"
Hu Qing and Gu Yang looked at each other - it seems that this rat man is indeed connected to the palace!
Xiao Zi was already impatient. He raised his dragon claws and a purple lightning bolt struck the fox orc directly.
If you dare to slander me, you are seeking death!
The fox orc was so frightened that he peed and shit, and dodged quickly, still wailing:
"Master Rat, help! This evil dragon is trying to kill people!"
The rat man snorted coldly, waved his sleeves, and a khaki barrier appeared in front of him, blocking Xiao Zi's lightning.
He sneered, "A mere young dragon dares to act so arrogantly in front of this master?"
Gu Yang's eyes narrowed - this rat man is quite powerful, at least he is at the peak of the late Nascent Soul stage!
Then he clenched his fists, his fighting spirit rising: "Ah Qing, what do you say? Fight or retreat?"
Hu Qing glanced at the tracking arrow in the ratman's hand, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly: "Since it's delivered to my door, how can I let it go?"
Before he finished speaking, he flashed and pierced the rat man's throat with the sword in his hand!
The rat man didn't expect that this human would dare to take the initiative to attack. He hurriedly swung his arrow to block. The rusty arrow collided with the sword, and a sound of metal clashing was made!
"Looking for death!" The rat man roared, the demonic energy around him surged, his body suddenly expanded, and turned into a giant rat that was more than ten feet tall, with sharp fangs and claws like hooks!
Seeing this, Xiao Zi howled excitedly and pounced directly on the fox orc, saying that he was unhappy with it.
Tear up this bastard who is talking nonsense first!
Gu Yang stared at the other orcs and grinned: "Come on, come on, let me see what you can do!"
A melee is about to break out!
"Shh-!"
Hu Qing's figure was as fast as the wind as he crossed paths with the rat man, and the tip of his sword left a shallow blood mark on his fur.
After a few rounds, he had figured out the ratman's true strength - he had brute force and sharp claws, but no magic or supernatural powers, making the fight boring.
"Gu Yang, let you practice with this guy!" Hu Qing shouted softly, stepped lightly, and instantly withdrew from the battle circle.
Gu Yang had been eager to try it out for a long time, and he laughed loudly when he heard it: "Just in time!"
He flashed and switched places with Hu Qing. The Soul-Devouring Blade in his hand vibrated and hummed. A stream of pure spiritual power poured into the blade, and scarlet lines suddenly appeared on the black blade.
"Phantom, open!"
With a low shout from Gu Yang, the Soul Devouring Blade suddenly expanded and turned into a huge black sword as wide as a door panel, with a cold and murderous aura wrapped around the sword.
He grinned, staring at the giant rat in front of him, his eyes boiling with fighting spirit: "Big rat, let me see what you can do!"
Seeing his opponent suddenly change, the rat man was stunned for a moment, then laughed shrilly:
"Change people? Will it make any difference? They'll all die anyway!"
It kicked its hind legs and pounced towards Gu Yang with its fat body with extraordinary agility. Its sharp claws tore through the air, making a sharp sound of breaking wind.
Gu Yang was not in a hurry. He blocked with his huge sword. There was a loud "clang" sound and sparks flew everywhere.
He used the force to retreat half a step, then twisted his waist and swung the giant sword towards the rat man on the head!
"boom!"
The rat man hastily raised his claws to block, but was hit by the sword and staggered back, his front paws trembling slightly.
A hint of surprise flashed in its eyes - the power of this human was much stronger than imagined!
