24. Mid Stage Demonic Beast (3)

Free from the corpse puppet, the mid-stage gold-eating rat had nothing else containing it and fiercely dashed towards Fang Yang

The line of skeleton soldiers that had perfectly contained the gold -eating rats so far couldn't even react in time,before the mid stage gold eating rats slipped right past it.

The second Fang Yang had sensed something wrong with his instincts, he didn't dare question it and used ghost spirit steps to the best of his potential.

But in the face of a mid stage demonic beast, what could the movement techniques of a 2nd level qi cultivator do?

Within just a few seconds, Fang Yang's head start had been rendered completely useless as the gold-eating rat appeared just a few feet away from him.

But still, Fang Yang wouldn't just sit and wait for his death.

A black mist surged around him as 2 skeletons appeared in between him and the gold-eating rat.

Without hesitation, the first skeleton got up and rushed towards the rat.

green flames burned in its eyes as it slashed down toward the rat in front, but it was completely useless.

The gold-eating rat just let off a shrill cry as it jumped up, opened its mouth and bit straight through the skeleton's neck, sending its boney skull flying.

Fang Yang's heart sank when he saw the gold-eating rat easily dispatch a combatant that should be able to rival himself in close combat, but the second skeleton didn't share the same worries.

Unfazed by its compatriot's sacrifice, the skeleton silently rushed towards the gold eating rat, but unlike its compatriot that tried to slash and kill the gold-eating rat, Fang Yang had given up such thoughts and diverted all its efforts into restraining it.

Throwing its bone sabre to the side, the skeleton stretched out its long arms and wrapped itself around the gold eating rat, almost as if it was hugging it.

If the gold-eating rat and the skeleton were in the same rank, this could have been enough to contain it for several minutes. After all, rats were never creatures that were particularly known for their strength. But the difference in levels between the early stage and mid-stage was enough to make up for the rat's biological disadvantages.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The rat let off a few furious cries as its small clawed arm shot out, smashing straight through the skeleton's ribcage!

But the gold-eating rat wasn't done yet. Opening its mouth wide, its razor sharp incisors showed no mercy and tore right through the skeleton's spine.

The skeleton soldier was shattered like a plastic toy, with fragments of bone scattering around the gold-eating rat.

But in that second, 10 blinding silver lights shot out of Fang Yang's arms, smashing straight into the gold eating rat.

"Squeak!"

The furious cries of the gold eating rat shook Fang Yang's ears, as his silver knives lodged into the skin of the rat, but thanks to the tenacious hide granted by being a mid-stage demonic beast, the attacks barely did any damage, struggling to even draw blood.

But despite that, Fag Yang wasn't disappointed. In fact, he was even slightly happy.

That's because the combined effect of his skeletons and his attacks had managed to do just enough.

"ROAR!"

In that second, a soul-shaking cry rang out across the mine, freezing all creatures in place.

The large figure of the corpse puppet dashed towards Fang Yang.

Its large fists came crashing down like a thunderous hammer, smashing down straight onto the gold-eating rat's head!

"Boom!"

The poor rat's head burst open like a shattered watermelon, splashing its brains around in a wretched mess.

Fang Yang, who was in close proximity, had his body covered in rat blood and guts, but he knew that it wasn't time to be worrying about such things just yet.

The effect of the Corpse puppet's war cry was still in play, freezing these creatures in place and he couldn't waste this chance!

"Encircle!"

With just one instruction, Fang Yang's stalwart wall of skeleton soldiers finally moved out.

Launching a double pincer manoeuvre, they managed to completely circle the remaining rats trapping them in the centre.

By the time the skeletons had completed the manoeuvre, the remaining gold-eating rats had started to move again, but it was already too late.

Even if the gold-eating rats had a much higher agility than Fang Yang's skeleton soldiers, they had been completely enclosed, which reduced the space they could move on and greatly hindered their ability.

With the gold-eating rats in such a disadvantaged position, what happened next could only be described as carnage.

The Silent skeletons started another slaughter, staining their once white bones in a deep crimson red.

The gold-eating rats tried their best to fight back, but after blocking 3 or 4 attacks, by the time the 6th and 7th came they were completely helpless.

The two mid-stage gold-eating rats couldn't just sit back and watch as their underlings were slaughtered, but the second they tried to make a move, the towering figure of the Battle Saint Corpse puppet appeared, blocking their path.

Furious, the two rats screamed attacking the corpse puppet with even more bloodlust than before, but without the third mid-stage demonic beast to contain him, the Battle Saint Corpse puppet could run rampant.

As the corpse puppet started to faintly show signs of defeating them. The idea of escaping had already started to appear in the minds of the two gold-eating rats. But just as they were about to make a move, a swarm of blood drenched skeletons charged over, jumping at them with no regard for their lives!

The two rats shrieked as they linger at the skeletons, knocking them back and smashing their bones.

The skeletons only managed to contain them for a few seconds, but with fights at their level, even a brief instance could be devastating, what more several seconds.

The burly figure of the corpse puppet appeared next to one gold-eating rat blasting it in the side.

It didn't even finish it off and instead left that job to the surrounding skeleton soldiers.
