Chapter 23 (2/2)
The Iron-Eating Beast in front of Zhuang Yue had dozed off. It was extremely Buddhist and aloof from worldly affairs.
“Stop chatting… I found the Earth Mice,” said Shi Yu.
While the few of them were chatting, Eleven, who used his super vision, had already locked onto an Earth Rat.
Shi Yu didn’t care whether it could evolve at all. It was fine for now.
After being reminded by Eleven, Shi Yu followed its gaze.
In a corner of the farmland, a huge rat about thirty centimeters long with no hair and a body made of stone was secretly picking red fruits.
“Over there.” Shi Yu pointed over, and the other three also looked over.
“Based on its size, it’s probably level four. Besides, it’s alone and doesn’t pose much of a threat. The difficult part is how to eliminate it before it reacts and flees!” Chen Kai said.
“The books say that Earth Mice are very vigilant. Compared to sound and light, they are more sensitive to temperature. When the Iron-Eating Beast and Ice-Armored Beast get close to it, their body temperature will affect them, so they might notice…” Yu Jingjing said. “I’ll let the Thorny Monster disguise as a plant and approach it first. Let’s see if I can get my pet to wrap around it directly.
“But I wonder if the thorns of the Thorny Monster can affect its earth shell body. When the time comes, you guys follow up.”
The other three agreed to this strategy. Under Yu Jingjing’s orders, her Thorny Monster started to disguise itself as a plant and slowly crawled on the ground.
The Thorny Monster was indeed very similar to a plant. After all, it was a plant life form. The Earth Mouse didn’t sense it at all. After all, in its eyes, this kind of plant was just food.
High-level hunters often appeared in the form of prey…
At the same time, Eleven and the Ice-Armored Beast also started to prepare for the hunt.
Only Zhuang Yue’s Iron-Eating Beast was still at a loss… It widened its eyes under its dark circles and looked over with all its might.
Where, where, where was the Earth Mouse? Why couldn’t it see it?!
Ordinary Iron-Eating Beasts were like this. After all, the protective colors of the Earth-Element Mouse were too good.
Soon, the Thorny Monster arrived near the Earth Mouse. It extended a branch covered in spikes and locked onto the Earth Mouse!
Swoosh!!!
The Thorny Monster let out a fatal entanglement, but none of the Earth Mouse, which could grow to level four in such an environment, was easy to deal with. At the critical moment, the Earth Mouse sensed danger and was so scared that it threw down the red fruit and ran…
Whoosh!
It turned and ran; its speed was very fast as it successfully dodged the attack.
Usually, when Earth Mice came out to look for food, they would dig holes in advance to escape. They wouldn’t escape on the spot.
As for Earth Escape, its speed was actually not very fast, so slow that it would have been very easy to be caught. It was better to use an emergency route.
After loosing the first attack, the Thorny Monster no longer hid. More branches grew out of its body and flew towards the Earth Mouse, restricting its movement and speed.
At the same time, Eleven and the Ice-Armored Beast had already released their full strength.
“Think you can run?!” Chen Kai shouted. The Ice-Armored Beast was also good at digging holes. If it was given time, it could even penetrate an iceberg.
Even if the Earth Mouse escaped underground, it wouldn’t be impossible to catch it.
Of course, the best situation was to kill the Earth Rat before it approached the hole.
However… the Ice-Armored Beast was still a step slower.
The Earth Rat successfully arrived at the entrance of the cave.
Just as the Earth Rat was overjoyed and wanted to enter, Eleven, who was much faster than the Ice-Armored Beast, descended.
In the previous battle, Eleven had instantly defeated the Ice-Armored Beast without moving, but this didn’t mean that its explosive speed was inferior to that of the Ice-Armored Beast…
Boom!
From running, Eleven quickly overtook the Ice-Armored Beast and caught up to the Earth Rat. It leaped up and hit the hole the Earth Rat was about to enter with its hard palm.
Like a huge piece of steel falling from the sky, a huge impact was accompanied by dust and mist. A huge pit was directly smashed out of the ground by Eleven.
With its super vision and explosive power, it felt much more agile than yesterday. It discovered the hole a step ahead of the Thorny Monster and Ice-Armored Beast. Eleven showed a proud expression.
The Earth Rat was stunned on the spot.
What about its home?
“Aaaaaaaaaah..!” After that, the rat was captured with an entanglement.
But right now, everyone’s focus was on the huge pit beside Eleven.
What kind of power was this…? Why did it feel like it had fallen from the sky?
The other three people’s scalps went numb. They looked at the Iron-Eating Beast cub, which was like a little fatty, and felt that with it around, they could directly go and find trouble with the group of Earth Rats?
