"Boom!"
A huge demonic beast fell to the ground. Ding Zhou, Yang Zhengqi, and the others habitually went up to skin the corpse. This was already the ninth rank two demonic beast that Leng Shiqi and the others had killed!
If it was in the past, they wouldn't even dare to think that they could kill so many rank two demonic beasts in just half a day!
This also included the time they had to rest and recover their spirit energy.
They were all very glad that they had joined the city guards, and even more glad that Leng Shiqi had become the captain.
Their harvest today alone was equivalent to what they had earned in the past month.
Other than that, when they returned, the city guards would have additional rewards!
The most important thing was that they didn't feel any pressure or danger at all. It was as if they had picked it up for free.
"Hmm?"
Just as they were filled with joy, Leng Shiqi suddenly discovered that there was a small mound on the ground that was rapidly moving over, and he could even feel a huge aura from it!
Leng Shiqi immediately shouted, "Get out of the way!"
Although his reminder was timely, the others reacted too slowly. Before he finished speaking, he saw a giant rat suddenly break out of the ground. Its two large and sharp front teeth bit down and directly tore a person in half!
This demonic beast was the Earthbound Rat that Wei Hongyi had beaten to the point of fleeing!
"Third, third rank demonic beast?!"
Everyone turned pale with fright. How could there be a third rank demonic beast here?
Weren't they all cleaned up by the great commander and the decarchs?
However, even though they were shocked, they still hurriedly scattered.
The Earthbound Rat licked the blood from the corner of its mouth, its eyes filled with ferocity. It had been beaten up by Wei Hongyi until it was covered in wounds, and it had escaped with great difficulty.
Now that it had encountered a weak spirit cultivator of the Spirit Transformation Realm, it could use it as a meal!
The Earthbound Rat immediately locked onto another person, and that person was Deng Li.
The Earthbound Rat opened its bloody mouth and bared its ferocious fangs as it pounced forward!
Moreover, its speed was too fast, so fast that Deng Li had no chance of dodging it.
He was young, and his will was not strong enough. At this time, his legs were actually trembling. Even if he wanted to run, he could not!
Deng Li's face was filled with fear and despair, but just as he thought he was about to die, a thick ice wall suddenly appeared in front of him!
At the same time, he felt someone push him, and a strong force pushed him to the side.
Deng Li looked over in surprise and saw the back of a hunchbacked old man. It was Leng Shiqi!
"Ka ka … Bang!"
The ice wall looked very sturdy, but in front of the power of a Rank 3 monster, it was still too weak. In the blink of an eye, it was shattered.
Leng Shiqi moved his hands, and more than a dozen earth spikes appeared around him. He waved them forward, and all the earth spikes stabbed at the Earthbound Rat!
The dozen or so Earth Spikes immediately crumbled, but at least they managed to block the Earthbind Rat's attack.
Leng Shiqi shouted without turning his head, "Go back and meet up with the other guards!"
Deng Li subconsciously said, "What about you, Captain?"
Unknowingly, he finally called out the word "Captain". Perhaps he did not even realize it himself.
Leng Shiqi still had his back to everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Go back!
This is my order! "
After the Earthbind Rat's attack failed, it immediately stared at Leng Shiqi. It bared its teeth and was ready to attack again at any time.
Seeing this situation, the others did not dare to stay any longer, but they never thought that someone would cover for them!
They were all experienced people. Even before this, they only had a good impression of Leng Shiqi, but they were not sincere.
But now, they finally knew that there was still friendship in this world!
Ding Zhou secretly sighed and turned to run. In his opinion, spiritual casters were not good at fighting one-on-one. Leng Shiqi was probably dead.
Yang Zhengqi hesitated for a moment and followed closely behind. The reason he hesitated was not because he was touched by Leng Shiqi, but because if Leng Shiqi died here, he did not know when the Centipede Curse in his body would be lifted.
Deng Li was the last to leave. Before he left, he said, "I will repay you for saving my life in the future."
After everyone left, Leng Shiqi revealed a faint smile.
If one looked at him from the front, they would find that Leng Shiqi's eyes had turned blue!
The moment the Earthbind Rat rushed out of the ground, Leng Shiqi immediately noticed the wounds on its body, especially the bloody hole on its back.
He immediately activated Byakugan. He found that although the Earthbind Rat looked extremely ferocious, many of its meridians were broken.
Not only that, even the bones of one of its hind legs were cracked, and some of its organs were damaged.
To put it simply, this Earthbound Rat was already seriously injured!
Leng Shiqi was now at the ninth layer of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He might be able to fight against a seriously injured rank three demonic beast!
If he could kill the Earthbind Rat, not only could he use its demonic beast blood to increase his cultivation by leaps and bounds, he could also obtain a rank three demonic beast core.
That was why he chose to stay, not to protect the others.
Leng Shiqi stretched out his fingers and used them as a sword to shoot out two frosty sword energies. Without the support of a spirit sword, these two sword energies weren't very powerful and couldn't hurt the Earthbind Rat at all. However, they had successfully attracted its hatred!
After shooting out the two rays of cold sword energy, Leng Shiqi stepped on the black fog and flew in the opposite direction from everyone.
The Earthbind Rat was hit by the two rays of cold sword energy and immediately chased after Leng Shiqi. It was not slow at all!
After a short while, Leng Shiqi saw that the Earthbind Rat was about to catch up. He activated Byakugan and saw that there was no one else around, so he relaxed.
Leng Shiqi's body began to grow as he sped away. At the same time, a set of brown armor appeared on his body!
At the same time, nine demonic tattoos appeared on his right arm and his aura soared.
Leng Shiqi had activated both the Spirit Ruin Beast King and the Zhu Crag Beast's beast origin battle tattoos!
Then, Leng Shiqi's body stopped abruptly. He turned around and punched out. This punch, enhanced by the double Beast Origin Battle Runes, was like a tiger king treading on waves and breaking rivers!
The Earthbind Rat was about to catch up to Leng Shiqi, but what greeted it was the ferocious Tiger Wave Stomping Fist.
The Earthbind Rat didn't care. It just opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite Leng Shiqi in half. Suddenly, a sticky black liquid shot out from its bloody mouth!
Leng Shiqi's ferocious punch seemed to be unparalleled. However, with a slight movement of his feet, his body drifted away like a piece of cotton in the wind, narrowly avoiding the black liquid.
However, the Earthbind Rat turned around nimbly and continued to bite Leng Shiqi.
Leng Shiqi didn't panic at all. He moved again and appeared beside the Earthbound Rat in an instant. His fist actually caused the roar of a fierce tiger to ring out as it struck down!
