Chapter 65: Not Intelligent

Three hours later, four people left the villa and walked towards Yejia village.

“It’s so eerie.” Lin Rongrong commented and subconsciously shuddered.

When she thought that she would soon face a horde of zombie rats, she couldn’t help but tremble.

However, she couldn’t back down.

No matter how much she hated rats, she had to face them.

Otherwise, she would not be worthy of Xu Fei and her team.

“Brother Chenxuan and I will work inside the house while you stay outside.” Qin Wu reminded and the Xu couple nodded in agreement.

“Don’t stray to far from the door.” Mo Chenxuan instructed.

Soon after, Xu Fei picked a big rock from the roadside and carried it to Yejia village.

“This is the house.” Mo Chenxuan pointed at a house.

At the same time, he took the rock from Xu Fei’s arms.

“We will stay outside to guard the rear. Brother Mo, sister Qin, please take care of yourselves.” Lin Rongrong said with a solemn face.

“Don’t worry about us.” Qin Wu said and also turned solemn.

“Your life is most important. You should protect it at any cost.” She reminded and the Xu couple nodded in understanding.

A moment later, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu entered the house.

“What’s the situation?” Qin Wu asked.

“The rats are moving along the tunnels. They will soon be here.”

After saying that, Mo Chenxuan placed the rock near the exit and hid their aura with a layer of spiritual power.

“Where is the level three rat?”

“At the back.” Mo Chenxuan said and Qin Wu heaved a sigh of relief.

If the rat was at the front, they would have to scrap their plan.

Fortunately, their luck was not bad.

“They will be here in two minutes. Get ready.” Mo Chenxuan said in a low voice but the words still travelled to the outside, reaching Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong.

“Brother Chenxuan, I will start the video.”

After that, Qin Wu removed a phone from her storage space and clicked on the recording function.

This was necessary.

After all, they had to provide evidence when they returned to the base to hand over the mission.

However, Qin Wu knew what to record and what not to record.

Most importantly, the mission was to investigate the cause of the incidents in Yejia village.

Because of this, the video only needed to show the location and cause of the incidents but not the process of eliminating the zombie rats.

“Ten seconds.” Mo Chenxuan shouted while looking at the tunnel exit.

Ten seconds later, a level two zombie rat barrelled out of the exit.

The rat was the size of an adult rabbit, had red eyes, and blue-grey fur.

Seeing the rat, Qin Wu frowned but her hands were steady, pointing the phone camera at the exit.

Soon after, a dozen rats rushed out, and Mo Chenxuan hastily covered the exit with a layer of spiritual power.

At the same time, Qin Wu stopped the video and narrowed her eyes.

“Nine level two and four level one.” She muttered but didn’t hesitate.

“Are you ready?” Mo Chenxuan asked.

“Ready.”

“Good.”

When the dozen zombie rats rushed out, Mo Chenxuan immediately trapped them in a spiritual power barrier.

At this time, he gave the level one zombie rats a mental suggestion and opened the barrier.

Soon after, the level one rats rushed out of the house and faced the Xu couple.

Simultaneously, two level two rats launched themselves at Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu.

“Brother Chenxuan, are you okay?” Qin Wu couldn’t help but worry.

After all, this was the first time that Mo Chenxuan used his spiritual power to do multiple things.

“This is good for me.” Mo Chenxuan assured.

Although he wasn’t used to doing so many things at once, the practice was good for his spiritual power.

If nothing happened, his spiritual power control would reach a new height after the mission.

“Don’t force yourself.”

“I know.”

After that, the team began dealing with the zombie rats.

However, Mo Chenxuan didn’t neglect the tunnels.

Whenever he felt that the rats were getting a little impatient, he would open the exit, allowing more zombie rats to flow into holding barrier.

In this way, the four fought and quickly whittled down the number of zombie rats.

That said, their ability consumption was not small.

Fortunately, there weren’t many level one zombie rats so Xu Fei and Lin Rongrong had a chance to rest between fights.

As for Qin Wu and Mo Chenxuan, their used space water to replenish themselves.

Although they couldn’t take time to meditate, they managed to keep up and slowly killed the rats.

“The level of these zombie rats is not low but their intelligence…” Qin Wu observed.

They originally thought the zombie rats would figure it out and dig another exit.

Unexpectedly, the rats hadn’t thought of it.

As long as they were placated in time, they continued sending themselves to their deaths.

This made things easier for the team but Qin Wu couldn’t help but sigh at the opponent’s stupidity.

“It’s our luck.” Mo Chenxuan smiled.

“It’s indeed our luck.” Qin Wu agreed.

If the rats were more intelligent, Qin Wu didn’t know when they would be able to kill them all.

However, at the current level, she was optimistic they would be able to eliminate the horde before dawn.

“Brother Chenxuan, leave the rest to me.” Qin Wu said when there were only twenty level two rats left in the horde.

“Okay.” Mo Chenxuan didn’t argue.

He had used a lot of spiritual power to control the situation.

Now that he was about to face the level three zombie, Mo Chenxuan needed to replenish his elemental and spiritual powers.

Only after adjusting his condition could he have a chance of killing the higher level opponent.

“Be careful.” He reminded.

“Don’t worry.”

After that, Mo Chenxuan sat cross-legged and began adjusting his condition.

However, his spiritual power was still monitoring, blocking the exit, and controlling the number of zombies that could rush out of the temporary holding barrier.

Mo Chenxuan adjusted his condition for two hours.

When he stood up, his state was back to peak and his superpowers were full.

“Wu’er, I want to release the level three rat.” He said.

Qin Wu frowned when she heard that.

There were still some level two rats that she hadn’t killed yet.

If Mo Chenxuan allowed the level three opponent to come out, she would not be able to help him because she would be preoccupied with the level two rats.

“Don’t worry.” Mo Chenxuan said and Qin Wu nodded but her attacks were faster and more brutal.

Seeing this, Mo Chenxuan chuckled but soon turned solemn.

A moment later, he allowed the last batch of rats to exit the tunnel and enter the holding barrier.

However, he didn’t let the level three rat enter the spiritual power barrier.

Instead, he attacked it as soon as it appeared.

“Eek eek eek.” The rat squeaked, its eyes becoming redder.

At the same time, it spouted a ball of fire which flew towards Mo Chenxuan.

“It’s a fire element zombie rat.” Qin Wu exclaimed and couldn’t help but frown.

Although the horde had many level one and level two rats, the team hadn’t encountered an opponent with superpowers.

Unexpectedly, they hit the jackpot with the level three rat.

’This is not good.’ Qin Wu thought, feeling a little desperate.

After all, the rat was already a level higher than Mo Chenxuan.

Now that it had a fire superpower, it was like giving wings to a tiger.

’I need to quickly eliminate these level two zombie rats.’ She thought.

In her desperation, Qin Wu unleashed space slashes with her left hand and water arrows with her right.

As a result, she easily cut down the opponents but her superpowers were eroded at an extremely fast rate.

By the time she killed all the remaining zombie rats, her abilities were almost exhausted and her face was chalk white.

Still, her focus flew to Mo Chenxuan and she didn’t feel relieved until she saw that he wasn’t losing ground to the level three zombie rat.

’I need to replenish my abilities as soon as possible.’ She thought and directly moved to a corner.

Although Mo Chenxuan was seriously fighting the zombie rat, he didn’t neglect his teammates.

Even now, some of his spiritual power was layered around Qin Wu and the Xu couple.

In this way, he would know right away if something happened to any of them.

“Eek Eek Eek.” The rat squeaked and suddenly moved.

In the blink of an eye, the rat appeared in front of Mo Chenxuan, its claws extended towards its enemy’s face.

However, Mo Chenxuan was not a vegetarian.

Although the rat was fast, Mo Chenxuan was faster.

Before the claws touched him, his hand moved and a lightning bolt collided with the claw.

A moment later, the rat screeched and its eyes were filled with madness.
