Chapter 15

The entrance to the plague rats' lair was sealed by a pile of rocks. If not for the GPS, it would have been difficult for them to find it.

"Teacher, why is the cave entrance sealed?" Wu Xiaoyan asked.

Xiao Jinsheng said, "It might be the plague rats' doing. Their intelligence is not low. No matter what, we'll rest for an hour and eat something before going in. We'll be spending the next few days in this cave. You have to be mentally prepared. "

The two girls, Jiang Wen and Wu Xiaoyan, turned pale.

Xiao Jinsheng lit a bonfire and the five of them sat around it.

Bai Xiaowen took off his tactical backpack and let out a long sigh of relief. He rubbed his sore arms and calves.

"Haha, you can't handle 13 kilometers of cross-country running?" Zhou Yi did not let go of any opportunity to attack Bai Xiaowen.

Bai Xiaowen's 2.1 Constitution was not considered low in the combat class. Of course, compared to Zhou Yi's 4.9 Constitution, it was much worse.

The other two girls, Wu Xiaoyan and Jiang Wen, were about the same as Bai Xiaowen. They were also quite tired. Compared to the three of them, Zhou Yi seemed to be at ease.

Bai Xiaowen did not bother with Zhou Yi. He roasted some dry food over the bonfire and ate it with water to slowly recover his strength.

The homeroom teacher, Xiao Jinsheng, was deep in thought. Zhou Yi was originally the top student in Class 17, so it was not surprising that he had such a performance. However, Bai Xiaowen's performance today was somewhat beyond Xiao Jinsheng's expectations.

Unlike Zhou Yi, Xiao Jinsheng had been observing the four students he led and evaluating their strength.

Bai Xiaowen's level was originally destined to not be able to enter a university, but his performance today gave Xiao Jinsheng a big surprise. According to Xiao Jinsheng's speculation, Bai Xiaowen's strength and agility had increased a lot. With these two attributes as a foundation, it would be easy to improve his combat and machinery skills.

Of course, Bai Xiaowen's Constitution was his weakness, and this was also noticed by Xiao Jinsheng.

After an hour, the physical strength of the four students had more or less recovered.

Xiao Jinsheng waved his hand and the five of them began to clear the rocks. However, the degree of closure of the cave was somewhat unexpected. Dozens of rocks of different sizes blocked the passage for more than five meters inside the cave.

"These smelly rats are quite strong." Zhou Yi said resentfully. He lifted a millstone-sized rock and threw it five meters away.

Half an hour later, the stones that sealed the entrance of the cave were cleared. Under Xiao Jinsheng's lead, the four students stepped into the rat cave.

Under the influence of the spirit energy particles, the plague rats were dozens of times larger than normal rats. They were half the height of a human. The cave that they had dug out was quite spacious, and the interior was a completely different world. After a few dozen steps, the space in front of them became much more spacious, enough to accommodate five people side by side.

There was a faint stench in the air. This group of plague rats had sealed off the cave. They must have settled their daily needs inside the cave. No one could ask a nest of rats to be hygienic.

His field of vision was dark, with only some mutated moss, weeds, and other plants emitting a faint light. Fortunately, the five of them had prepared safety helmets with searchlights in advance, illuminating the path.

Chi La!

From the side, a black shadow pounced towards Wu Xiaoyan!

Wu Xiaoyan screamed and took two steps back. The black shadow crashed into the wall on the other side, and with a sudden bounce, it continued to pounce towards Wu Xiaoyan.

In a short moment, Bai Xiaowen had already seen the black shadow. It was a large rat! Its entire body was covered in green fur, and its eyes were like those of a wild wolf, emitting a green glow. It had two large, sharp teeth and black claws.

"Don't panic!" Xiao Jinsheng shouted in a deep voice. "It's just a plague rat, Zhou Yi!"

Zhou Yi took the two-handed greatsword from his back and answered excitedly, slashing at the rat.

Zhou Yi's basic equipment had already reached Level 3, and he had also chosen to use a two-handed sword. This slash was powerful and heavy. On the way out, the number of plague rats that had died under his greatsword had already reached three.

However, this plague rat was clearly different from the three that had died before. It screeched and suddenly accelerated, darting out from under Zhou Yi's greatsword and crashing into Zhou Yi's lower abdomen.

Chi La!

The plague rat's claws swiped, and blood spurted out from both sides of Zhou Yi's ribs.

Zhou Yi cried out in pain and staggered back. He didn't have much combat experience, and under the pain, he immediately panicked. He held his greatsword horizontally in front of him and went into a defensive position.

Bai Xiaowen used Insight and immediately obtained the plague rat's information.

Zombie Rat

Race: Undead/Zombie Demon

Attributes: Strength 3.8, Agility 6.5, Vitality 4.1, Spirit 0.2

Skill 1: Plague Claws and Fangs: Enemies that are injured by the zombie rat's claws and bites will be poisoned.

Skill 2: Stiff Skin: Zombie rats don't feel pain and won't bleed. The defense of their fur is greatly increased.

"This isn't a normal plague rat, but a zombie rat! What high Agility, Strength, and Vitality are all higher than the plague rat's. This is an overall increase in physical fitness by sacrificing Spirit! "

Bai Xiaowen focused his attention in order to see more information about the zombie rat.

A line of small words appeared behind the zombie rat's name:

"After being affected by a mysterious item, the plague rat has lost its mind. It is no longer a wild beast, but an even more terrifying undead predator."

At this moment, Xiao Jinsheng shouted, "Be careful, there's something wrong with this rat! Bai Xiaowen, you go as well! "

Xiao Jinsheng flicked his hand and shot out two throwing knives. The Level-5 Basic Throw was indeed extraordinary. They accurately hit the zombie rat, and one of the knives even hit its neck.

However, the zombie rat didn't feel pain, and it didn't have any vital parts. It ran wildly with the throwing knives, and only a trace of black blood seeped out of the wound.

Zhou Yi saw that the situation was not good, and desperately dodged backward. He waved his two-handed sword so that nothing could get through, protecting his lower body so that he wouldn't be injured again.

The zombie rat couldn't rush into Zhou Yi's circle of knives. Instead, it was hit by a knife. It squeaked and turned around to pounce on Jiang Wen!

Bai Xiaowen had already arrived, but he didn't use a machete. Instead, he went forward empty-handed. He clenched his hands into a fist and smashed it down like a volleyball.

The zombie rat's target was Jiang Wen. At this moment, it was flying in the air and had no room to turn or dodge. Its 6.5 Agility was also useless.

This was a good opportunity that Bai Xiaowen saw. The zombie rat had the passive ability to stiffen its skin. It was very resistant to sharp weapons, and it wouldn't bleed! Therefore, Bai Xiaowen used blunt force.

With a bang, the zombie rat was smashed to the ground. Affected by the huge impact, its body stopped for a moment.

And this moment was destined to be its death!

Whoosh!

Xiao Jinsheng arrived and slashed down with his rusty iron sword.

The zombie rat's body was directly cut in half, and black blood slowly seeped out of the cut.
