Chapter 329: The metal-armored rat
Translator: 549690339
The item that appeared in front of Tang Zhen was a large pile of rotten junk that emitted a faint stench.
These items might not have been like this in the first place, but they had rotted to this extent because they had been stored for too long.
He thought that he had found something good, but in the end, he discovered a pile of junk after opening it. One could imagine the depression in Tang Zhen’s heart.
Tang Zhen, who was unwilling to give up, cut open another piece of the metal wall. In the end, what entered his eyes was actually the skeleton of a monster that still had some fur.
Compared to the pile of unknown garbage just now, the smell of the skeleton cabinet was so bad that it could kill people.
Tang Zhen spat. At the same time, he gave up on the idea of continuing to open the wall cabinet.
He guessed that this place should be a cold storage room with a storage function, which was why there were all kinds of things stuffed here.
When the refrigeration equipment of the metal wreckage stopped working, the frozen items inside would definitely rot completely.
It was just that in this way, Tang Zhen, who wanted to have some gains, must continue to venture deeper.
His original plan was that if he could find useful materials here, Tang Zhen would be able to evacuate.
Unfortunately, the heavens did not grant him his wish, and he did not find anything here.
Now, it seemed that going deep into the ruins was inevitable.
However, if he were to encounter a Lord-tier monster that was even more terrifying than the metal snake, what should he do?
After pondering for a moment, Tang Zhen took a large step forward and continued to head deeper into the tunnel.
The more he thought about it, the more he had to worry. He might as well not think about it and just take it one step at a time!
As the saying goes,”what you fear will come true.” Tang Zhen saw a metal door blocking his way. When he was about to reach the end of the passage, two monsters appeared in front of him.
This time, the monster was very similar to a rat. Its body was also covered with black metal armor, protecting all its vital points.
What was even more freakish was that the two metal rats were the size of hounds, and their large flat teeth had turned into sharp knife-like teeth.
The hard metal floor was bitten by the rat, and a huge hole was dug out.
He really had an iron mouth and steel teeth, and was abnormally fierce.
Facing two Lord-tier monsters, Tang Zhen didn’t dare to let his guard down.
The purple lightning short sword was placed horizontally in front of his chest in a defensive posture.
“Squeak, squeak.”
The two Lord-tier rats looked at each other. Their blood-red eyes widened as they pounced at Zhen Tang.
As the metal Rat pounced with too much force, it left clear claw marks on the metal floor.
When he saw the two metal rats coming at him, Tang Zhen violently waved the purple lightning short sword in his hand and directly charged toward one of the rats.
The other hand used the same trick again, and an invisible purple flame surged up from the fingertips.
Mouse, whose body was covered in metal armor, instantly pounced in front of Tang Zhen. He used both his mouth and legs to attack Tang Zhen’s vital parts.
The metal Rat did not pay any attention to the purple lightning short sword in Tang Zhen’s hand.
In the metal rat’s mind, cold weapons could not break through its armor at all, so it ignored them.
Unfortunately, Tang Zhen’s purple lightning short sword was not an ordinary cold weapon!
“Go to hell!”
Tang Zhen gave a loud roar. The speed of his purple lightning short sword’s swing actually increased by one fold as it ruthlessly cut into the metal rat’s large mouth.
“Ga BA”
The metal rat’s teeth, which could easily tear the floor apart, were cut off by the purple lightning dagger!
The purple electric short sword did not stop, and it cut a terrifying wound in the metal rat’s mouth.
After the broken teeth rat felt the pain, its body trembled violently, and it actually twisted its body in midair to escape.
The other Metal Rat had an even more miserable fate. Just as it was about to bite Tang Zhen, Tang Zhen’s left palm, which was emitting a translucent purple flame, had already ruthlessly grabbed at the metal rat’s head.
The metal Rat was so frightened that its soul flew out of its body when it sensed the terrifying temperature on Tang Zhen’s fingertip. It hurriedly tried to Dodge.
Unfortunately, Tang Zhen was destined not to give it the chance to escape. Just as the metal Rat started to turn around, his five fingers had already ruthlessly inserted into the metal rat’s head.
The incomparably hard metal plate was as fragile as a piece of paper when it came into contact with the purple flames. It was easily pierced through by Tang Zhen.
The metal Rat let out a blood-curdling screech as the purple flames burned its head to ashes.
“Ding!”
A crisp sound was heard. The metal rat’s brain had fallen to the ground.
Seeing that its companion had been killed by Tang Zhen in a single strike, the metal Rat whose mouth had been cut open by the purple lightning short sword turned around and ran.
Monsters that had reached the Lord tier already had high intelligence and were very good at judging the situation.
Seeing that it was not a match for Tang Zhen, this Metal Rat naturally would not stay behind and court death.
“You want to run? dream on!”
Tang Zhen coldly snorted. The purple lightning short sword flew out once again and directly stabbed toward the back of the metal Rat.
As a Lord-tier monster, the metal rat’s perception was extremely sensitive. Just as the purple electric dagger was about to hit it, it jumped up from its original spot and dodged the fatal blow!
After landing on the ground, this fellow actually issued a provocative cry towards Tang Zhen. He seemed to be extremely pleased with himself.
However, its jagged front teeth, which had been cut off by the purple lightning dagger, and its bloody mouth made it look extremely pathetic and ridiculous.
When Tang Zhen saw this, he casually took out the demonic bow from his storage space and shot an arrow at the metal Rat.
The metal Rat was shocked. It quickly squeaked and crawled into a metal hole in the wall.
In reality, Tang Zhen had only shot out an ordinary Wolf Fang arrow. It was simply unable to penetrate the metal rat’s abnormal armor.
However, the metal Rat had mistakenly thought that it was a terrifying weapon like the purple electric short sword, which was why it had fled in such a sorry state.
Although the metal Rat had entered the rat hole, Tang Zhen did not intend to let this fellow off.
He used the purple flame to draw a line on the metal wall, revealing a passage that was wide enough for an adult to pass through.
Tang Zhen sized him up for a moment before walking in.
Behind the mouse hole was a large space, but it was empty at the moment. He wondered where the metal mouse had gone.
Fortunately, Tang Zhen had some assistance. He swept his gaze across the ground and a row of rat footprints with heat residue appeared in his field of vision.
Tang Zhen hurriedly gave chase when he saw the rat’s footprints extending into the depths of the space.
This space was also slanted downwards. Tang Zhen chased for about two kilometers before he suddenly saw a strange object that was about twelve meters long appear in front of him.
Tang Zhen curiously walked in front of this object and carefully observed it.
It was just that the more Tang Zhen looked at this thing, the more he felt that it was a flying device.
Forget it, I’ll put it in my storage space first and study it in detail when I return to Holy Dragon City!
The most important thing at the moment was to see where the dead rat had sneaked to.
The reason why Tang Zhen was so persistent in chasing after this Metal Rat was because he had actually carefully considered it.
His first choice was that the metal Rat could help him level up after he killed it.
After killing the metal Rat and the Lord-tier water monster that he had killed before, his level-up progress had reached more than half.
After this, he only needed to kill four more Lord-tier monsters to become a 2-star Lord-tier monster!
With the strength of a 2-star horde leader, he should be able to go even further in this metallic ruins!
Furthermore, the metal Rat was cunning and cherished its life. Once it saw that something was wrong, it would quickly escape. Therefore, the place where it usually moved was far away from the dangerous areas inside the ruins.
Tang Zhen only needed to follow the metal rat’s movement route and it would definitely be safer than barging in.
After storing the aircraft-like object into his storage space, Tang Zhen glanced at the rat hole in front of him and rushed over once again.
