Nian Bing stared at the ground and said in a deep voice, "I don't know what's underground, but it's something that can absorb innate qi. The scarcity of animals in this forest must also be related to it."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang. A tall cedar was blasted into the sky, and a huge head emerged from beneath the ground, shaking and emitting a deafening roar.
The enormous head appeared spherical in shape, about fifteen feet in diameter, resembling a huge rat's head. Its body was covered in short, dark gray hair that stood out in the forest. Its lips revealed saber-like teeth, three feet long, and a black aura continuously spread around it, causing the trees to wither wherever it went. Its dark red eyes were fixed on Nian Bing and the other two in the air.
Mao Mao exclaimed, "Wow, this is a Dark Demon Rat, and looking at its size, it must have evolved to level five. That's really terrifying!"
