Chapter 21 (2/2)

Since it was a random box anyway, Ye Fei randomly chose one.

“This one.”

With a light push, the restriction on the door was instantly removed.

Ye Fei silently muttered in his heart, “Let’s have another wave of monsters…”

The newly unlocked sword was so cool to use. Ye Fei wanted to enjoy the thrill of harvesting again.

Inside the cell, it was green.

It was full of plague rats.

Seeing the room full of rats, Ling Xuewei cried out loud.

This time, Ye Fei was prepared. Hearing her scream, he immediately cast a skill —

“Root entanglement!”

The roots of the nine-leaf sword grass instantly covered the entire cell, binding all the plague rats on the spot!

After leveling up, its root bind skill had also been strengthened. Whether it was the range of bind or the tenacity of the roots, it was much stronger than before the leveling up.

“Blade dance!”

Ye Fei ordered again, ready to use the nine-leaf sword grass’s area-of-effect damage to clear the area.

However, Ling Xuewei suddenly screamed, “Don’t! Don’t hit!”

Ye Fei was stunned for a moment. With a thought, the nine-leaf sword grass also forced the brake at the charging stage, not shooting the leaves out.

“What’s wrong? Why can’t we hit?” Ye Fei asked her patiently.

Ling Xuewei covered her eyes and did not dare to look at the plague rats, however, she still held back her disgust and fear and explained, “The plague rats carry a large amount of plague virus. After they die, their bodies will explode in a small area, releasing all the virus in their bodies.”

“If we use an area-of-effect skill to destroy them all at the same time, with so many plague rats exploding at the same time, the area of the poisonous fog released will become very large. At that time, we won’t have any place to hide.”

“A few years ago, there was a group that was eliminated just like that.”

After hearing Ling Xuewei’s words, Ye Fei could not help but feel some lingering fear.

He did not know much about plague rats. He only knew that their bodies were poisonous. Anyone who touched them or was bitten by them would be poisoned.

As for the poisonous fog released after the corpse exploded, Ye Fei really did not know that.

If not for Ling Xuewei’s timely reminder, the four of them would have been eliminated according to his previous plan.

Thinking about this, Ye Fei said seriously, “Ling Xuewei, thank you for your timely reminder. You saved all of us.”

Hearing the Prince Charming praising her, Ling Xuewei was so excited that she actually screamed. She even forgot her fear of the plague rats.

However, her words were still arrogant.

“I just don’t want to be implicated and eliminated together.”

Qing Kui did not understand Ling Xuewei’s duplicity. Hearing her say such words, she was immediately unhappy. She directly retorted, “If you’re afraid of being implicated, you can leave the team and act alone.”

Ling Xuewei was not willing to be outdone. “Whether I leave the team or not, that’s none of your business.”

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting more and more intense, Ye Fei quickly stopped her. “Alright, alright, let’s stop talking. The trial is more important.”

Qing Kui and Ling Xuewei rolled their eyes at each other and did not say another word.

Ye Fei said again, “I want to try to destroy these plague rats in small groups, but I’m not sure if I can succeed yet.”

“If the skill is not controlled, it might trigger a serial zombie explosion.”

“To be safe, you guys stay away from them. Keep your pets away.”

The plague rats were still low-level fierce beasts after all. The virus on them was not fatal to humans, but it might be fatal to pets.

So to be safe, Ye Fei told them not to participate in the battle for the time being.
