CHAPTER TEXT:
"Sorry for the lack of updates these days, but I will make up for it starting the day after tomorrow~~"
Not only are there rats in Ying City, but other cities have them too.
In addition to rats, there are countless underground creatures... earthworms, ants, moles, even some snakes and frogs.
These creatures are the kings of the underground.
Normally, they attack one another and serve as food for each other, but today, they began to face a common enemy together.
The first underground creatures detected by the Cloud Summit team were a group of mutant ants.
Different from other underground creatures, mutant ants are more inclined to hunt prey on the surface and then drag it back to their nests to enjoy.
They are not particularly fond of mutant rats, moles, or snakes.
When the Cloud Summit team entered Xingzhou City, they were the first batch of creatures to discover that a battle had begun, and these keen-sensed creatures were ready to attack the Cloud Summit team.
However, before this group of mutant ants could burst out of the ground, they encountered the war rat legion from Ying City.
In the face of an opponent with far fewer numbers, the courage and combat power of the mutant rats were still commendable.
Conflict erupted immediately; countless lives attacked each other in the soil, unleashing their abilities.
Some areas on the surface were torn apart by this large-scale and intense battle, resembling the aftermath of an earthquake, and even a certain area collapsed, spilling forth energy and projecting bone spikes like bullets, turning that place into a forbidden zone for life.
This widespread commotion not only startled the evolvers above but even Guangyao at the command center appeared tense, fearing that the situation might escalate into a chaotic brawl between all life on the surface and underground, which would be troublesome.
Fortunately, these underground creatures' fighting methods were ultimately more suited to the underground; whether in the soil or in the various sewers and pipelines, they instinctively chose those places.
The first batch of mutant ants was ambushed and killed within minutes.
Although these mutant ants inflicted damage on an almost equal number of mutant rats, thanks to their hard exoskeletons and versatile attack methods, especially their venom, which dealt significant harm before the mutant rats got too close.
A few minutes of battle were enough for all the underground creatures of Xingzhou City to swarm in. Under Guangyao’s orders, Ye Zhongming led the Cloud Summit’s war rat legion, keeping them in stealth mode, traversing underground to target those smaller groups, using this tactic to exhaust the enemy's forces while preserving their own.
Neither Guangyao nor Ye Zhongming wanted to throw the 'seed' legion away here.
This was also Liu Zhenghong's request, as she needed these mutant rats to reproduce and quickly grow the war rat legion's numbers.
While the underground battle raged, the surface was no less intense.
No matter how stealthy they were, as more warriors entered the city, they inevitably drew the attention of the mutant creatures, which began to surge in this direction.
Urban warfare became less relaxed, and the fighting entered a sustained state.
"Boss, I request to enter the second phase."
Guangyao reported to Ye Zhongming, feeling that it was time to implement the second phase of the plan.
Ye Zhongming stood up, nodded in agreement, and then walked out of the temporary command center.
Once they entered the new combat phase, it would be his turn to take the stage.
He jumped onto Yangos' back and patted the Evil Dragon, saying, "It's our turn to perform."
Upon hearing this, Yangos, who had been coiled on the ground and silent, became invigorated, letting out a long roar towards the sky!
This roar that echoed throughout Xingzhou City truly brought the city to life.
In the distance, some flying creatures took off and rushed over, quickly gathering into a vast swarm that was a hair-raising sight.
