After exiting the cave, Chen Bing bathed in the sun with Warrior Slime while walking around the hills.
Seeing there were some rocks on the ground, Chen Bing picked them up and tossed them into his backpack.
He’d gotten an idea back in the tutorials, but he had not gotten the chance to try it.
Five minutes passed, and the Level 4 attribute Shadow of Slime formed once again.
Roar! Roar!
The Warrior Slime repeatedly shouted towards the newly formed Shadow of Slime, as if trying to tell it something.
The black Shadow of Slime blinked its eyes as if it had understood the message.
Chen Bing had also picked half a bagful of stones, and brought Warrior Slime and Shadow of Slime back to the cave once again.
The monsters in “Evolution Island” would not respawn, which meant that they would never reappear again if they died. Chen Bing returned to the innermost section of the cave.
“As long as those two do not attack rashly, there shouldn’t be a problem.”
Looking at the rat leader and the huge amount of Level 3 and 4 rats, Chen Bing did some calculations in his mind.
Level 3 rats could not break through the defense of both slimes, so both slimes should be attacking the Level 4 rat guards instead of attacking the Level 3 rats.
This way, both slimes could face the rat leader in their best condition.
“When we attack later, ignore the small ones. Go for the big ones, understand?”
Chen Bing patted the Brave Slime and told it that.
This idiot may not have understood what levels were, but it probably could still differentiate between large and small.
Roar!
The Warrior Slime jumped around and roared as if it really understood Chen Bing’s words.
After answering Chen Bing, the Warrior Slime faced towards the Shadow of Slime and roared again. The black Shadow of Slime blinked his eyes again. Chen Bing felt like it had become smarter than when it was still at Level 1.
Only then did Chen Bing realize that he could not see the black Shadow of Slime clearly as if it had enabled stealth mode.
“Let’s go.”
Warrior Slime jumped around happily. What needed to be informed had been informed, and Chen Bing did not hesitate further and made both of them charge into the cave.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
Both slimes charged close to the rat leader, and the rats beside them started to glare at both the Warrior Slime and Shadow of Slime.
After confirming that they were intruders, they rushed forward and surrounded both slimes.
However, the rat leader did not move a muscle but looked at them intensely, its expression looking unusually calm.
“Man, something’s wrong with this rat.”
Chen Bing was frustrated with the rat leader, as he originally expected the rat leader to come together. If that happened, the knockback caused to the Level 3 rats would be able to be inflicted on to the rat leader and reduce its life by one third.
Looking at the rat leader, he decided to act after analyzing the situation.
Baiting the rat leader with himself?
Nope, the level difference was too high. He would not be able to run from the rats, and it would basically be suicide.
While Chen Bing was thinking, more than 20 rats started attacking both of the slimes.
There were 8 Level 4 rats and 15 Level 3 rats. After surrounding the slimes, they furiously bit them while their eyes glistened with anger.
The Warrior Slime and Shadow of Slime did not give in either. They followed Chen Bing’s orders, and the Sword of Slime was lowered onto the Level 4 rats.
The Level 3 rats could not penetrate the Warrior Slime’s defense. However, the defense attributes for the Level 4 rat guards seemed much higher than the normal Level 4 rats, and every attack by them caused Warrior Slime to lose about 10 points of health.
Luckily, the counterattack was able to heal Warrior Slime, as it had the Vampire Halo ability. However, Warrior Slime would be in danger too if the attacks exceeded three rounds.
However, after analyzing the situation, he realized that the situation was going better than he thought.
Warrior Slime’s Warrior Shield Skill was not just for looks. The attacks by the Level 4 rats had a chance to trigger the Warrior Shield. After Warrior Shield had been triggered, the attacks by the Level 4 rats would also cause counterattack damage. And just like that, the hitpoints of the Level 4 rats started to decrease rapidly, while the Warrior Slime’s hit points were instantly replenished.
After activating the Warrior Shield Skill two times, the surrounding Level 3 rats died instantly, and the hitpoints of the Level 4 rats were at a critical level.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
The rat leader did not expect all the Level 3 rats to die in such a short time. It did not even have the time to react.
As the Level 3 rats were exterminated, the rat leader’s eyes went red, and it rushed over and slammed towards the Warrior Slime.
Warrior Slime and Shadow of Slime were surrounded by 4 Level 4 rats respectively. Even though all of the Level 4 rats were in critical condition, and both slimes only needed two hits to finish them off, they would still be in danger if the rat leader decided to enter the fray. A single hit by the rat leader could cause around 20 to 30 points of damage.
As the rat leader was about to crash onto the Warrior Slime, a rock flew over and blocked the path between the rat leader and Warrior Slime.
The rat leader was hit by the stone the size of a fist. After being hit by the stone, it then crashed onto the Warrior Slime.
—13!
—13!
A damage indicator floated above the Warrior Slime.
“It works!”
As Chen Bing saw what had happened, he laughed and was refreshed.
Compared to a normal attack by the rat leader, the damage received by Warrior Slime was greatly reduced.
Chen Bing used the “Realistic Effect” setting in the game to his advantage.
However, he knew that this technique was only effective towards monsters with low level and small body size. After all, he did not have Throwing skills, and throwing rocks the size of a fist was his limit.
If the monster had a higher level or bigger size, these small rocks would hardly have an effect anymore.
However, it should be enough to deal with the rats in front of him.
The rat leader then proceeded to unleash a barrage of attacks towards Warrior Slime and Shadow of Slime. Every time it started to attack, it would throw a piece of rock in front of the rat leader, causing its damage to decrease greatly.
“F*ck! Who’s this guy? His accuracy is off the charts!”
While Chen Bing was focusing on the rat leader, ensuring the precision of his throwing, he did not realize that a player was using Stealth to sneak behind him.
The player was astounded as he saw Chen Bing accurately throwing the stones just right in front of the rat leader.
It was no big deal if he only did it once or twice. However, it was scary how he managed to do it every time.
Even with Throwing skill, this player admitted he could never do it.
“Damn it! Brother Tou Tuo, get in quickly, there actually is someone who came in here before us earlier. The rat leader was about to be killed by him, and the stuff that Boss Lan wanted will be taken away by him if we don’t act quickly.”
The player in stealth looked as the Level 4 rats were killed by the Warrior Slime, and he released the news quickly.
At that moment, five players were walking quickly towards the inner part of the cave.
Among them was a player named “Tou Tuo.” As he entered the cave and realized that the rats had been killed, Tou Tuo immediately ordered the player with stealth to use the acceleration granted to him with stealth to enter the innermost part of the cave.
“I’m coming immediately! See if you have a chance to steal that thing!”
“Go. Run in!”
Upon saying that and a wave of his hand, the few players started running at full speed.
Running in the game used up energy, and if too much energy was being used, one would enter into a “Fatigue” state, and all attributes would be weaker. Unless absolutely necessary, players would not run at full speed under normal circumstances, as it would spend a lot of energy in a short amount of time.
“Ah Jiu, quickly follow up, there must be something inside the cave. These people are running into it full speed. I will follow them, you guys tag along.”
Tou Tuo did not realize that was someone following them behind their backs too.
“Alright, Little Sakura. You be careful, we’ll reach it immediately.”
“Go. Don’t lose the thing that Sister Beauty wants!”
At the entrance of the rat cave, the figures of a few teenagers started walking quickly towards the inner part of the cave.
