Chapter 494: The Dark Tribe (1/2)

Because of these rats, Tang Shaoyang did not have a footing to land. The area right below him was filled with the giant rat. Hundreds of the giant rats tried to rip him apart in the air and thousands of them were waiting below.

However, he had something that the giant rats would not expect, the ability to walk in the air. As soon as he reached the height the giant rats could not reach, he activated the [Sky Walk]. Instead of falling off, he was floating in the air. If it was another person, they would fall into the giant rats' trap.

As soon as he fell off, he would be surrounded by thousands of giant rats. It was a hopeless situation, not for him though. Even though he did not have the [Sky Walk], he would be okay.

—Dark Tremor, they are a giant rat that hunts for food in a big group. Even though they are weaker individually, in a group, they will tire out even a strong individual before eventually killing their prey.

Rosalie told him the information about the giant rat. The giant rat was around two meters in length and around a meter in height. Their small forelegs were equipped with sharp claws that easily ripped apart flesh. The black fur covered the whole body but the lower part of the belly. If Tang Shaoyang had to include the tail, the giant rat might reach three meters or even maybe longer.

He then cast [Basic Detection] on one of the rats to get more information about this guy.

Just like Rosalie said, Dark Tremor was weak individually, but in a big group. They might even hunt a stronger individual than them. Failing to hunt Tang Shaoyang, the Dark Tremor did not escape. They stayed below and looked at him. The thousands of pairs of red eyes focused on him.

The rats were squeaking at him. If he could translate them, they might call him cowardly and tell him to come down to fight them. Of course, he did not understand what they were talking about. It was just his interpretation in his head.

”So they are part of a tribe, let's kill half of them and follow the rest.” A plan was formulated in Tang Shaoyang's head. If he could find their leader, he might talk to them and hope the leader could speak human language. His mission was to unite all the tribes in this forest, after all.

Conquering this Dark Tribe would be his first step. Clearly, Dark Tremor might be useful in the war and might be a key to find the dwarves who also lived underground. He took out his battle-ax and he was about to go down until he heard a growl.

Tang Shaoyang looked to the side and all the giant rats looked toward the side as well. There, he saw the black-furred kitten, growling at the giant rats from the edge of the crater while showing its canine. The immature growl sounded funny to his ears.

'That kitten is done for!' That was what he thought until he saw the shocking scene. Thousands of the giant rats scrambled around, running away from the Dark Predator. He witnessed that the giant rats returned into the underground, digging their way back. The little kitten pounced toward the crowd of the giant rats.

To his surprise, the kitten managed to catch one of the Dark Tremors. The two long canines dug in the flesh and the giant rat squeaked in pain. The Dark Tremor tried to shake off the Infant Dark Predator. Despite being smaller in size, the little kitten easily tore apart the flesh. He then saw the little kitten raise its paw, glowing in mana. The paw then hit the giant rat on the head and it instantly died.

The giant rat's eyes popped out as blood sprayed from the nose. The Dark Tremor instantly stopped moving after the hit. This was a shocking scene for him. First of all, the Dark Tremor was much bigger than the kitten, why would they be afraid of the kitten that was about his palm-size? Second, the Dark Tremor was much higher in level, with about a hundred levels gaps. Third, there were thousands of Dark Tremors while the little kitten was alone.

No matter how he looked at this, the Dark Tremor should have easily overwhelmed the kitten. He could not understand who they were afraid of the kitten that was not even level 200 and dared to attack him who was level 701. This made no sense to him. In the blink of an eye, the Dark Tremor vanished, leaving two Dark Tremors and a kitten.

Yes, the Infant Dark Predator managed to kill another Dark Tremor. A strike of its pawn killed the second Dark Tremor while they tried to escape from the little kitten.
