The Water Element Ogre grinned, letting out a cruel laugh, its two prominent sharp teeth reflecting a cold light in the sunlight, and swung the Spiked Hammer in its hand.
Bang! An Iron Ratmen in front was blasted away by a single blow. Although its hide, harder than steel, was not broken, the point of contact with the Spiked Hammer caved in on the spot.
Fragments of internal organs and blood spurted from the Iron Ratmen's mouth.
The terrifying force caused the body to knock over several other Iron Ratmen as it flew, and screams rang out.
The Iron Ratmen Chieftain saw these three superior Ogres, and a look of surprise appeared on his face covered in dense gray fur.
"Water Element Ogre Long, Earth Element Ogre Dui."
"Squeak, ha, if I remember correctly, these two guys have always liked to act alone and don't get along very well. I didn't expect them to gather together now."
The whiskers on both sides of the Iron Ratmen Chieftain's cheeks curled upwards, and his sharp incisors were exposed, as if he had seen something unexpected.
These two powerful superior Ogre species were well-known in the Hills area, and coupled with their solitary styles, he naturally knew something about them.
"Who is that Ogre in the middle? I don't think I've seen him before." The Iron Ratmen Chieftain's gaze fell on Go Gin in the center.
With the arrival of Go Gin and his two companions.
The Ogres, who were originally at a disadvantage, quickly regrouped, while the Iron Ratmen, facing the powerful Go Gin and his group, had to retreat behind the Iron Ratmen Chieftain.
The two sides faced each other.
"What's going on with this group of Demi-humans?" Go Gin's face was a little ugly.
He didn't expect to be sneaked up on in his lair without realizing it, and he was especially annoyed when he looked at the Ogres around him who had suffered heavy losses.
"Iron Ratmen, tough and unappetizing." The Water Element Ogre Long smacked his lips and commented.
The Earth Element Ogre narrowed his pupils when he saw the figure clearly: "Gray King!"
The tongue that had been cut off had now grown back.
Gray King, one of the "Demi-Human Ten Heroes"? Go Gin's spirit was shaken, and his eerie white eyes stared at the taller and stronger gray Ratmen standing at the very front of the gray Ratmen.
"Squeak, ha, I remember who you are!" The gray Ratmen Chieftain Gray King sized up Go Gin, his whiskers twitching, then became a little fierce: "I heard about you a few months ago, an outsider 'Great Troll' who challenges the strong in the Hills everywhere."
"To be able to subdue Long and Dui, it seems that your strength is stronger than rumored."
"No wonder so many Ogres are gathered together and trading with humans!"
Ka! Ka! Ka! Gray King raised his arms, his sharp claws colliding with each other, sparking a few sparks, and roared: "You damned guy, you are simply a disgrace to Demi-humans. Are you telling those lowly humans how weak you are!"
"Hand over all the food you traded with those humans, otherwise, I will cut you into pieces and feed you to the dirtiest and weakest Goblins!"
Go Gin was expressionless, but exuded a cold aura.
"I hate the name 'Great Troll'!"
Go Gin raised the heavy Wolf Tooth Club in his hand with one hand, and stared coldly at the Gray King opposite him: "'Gray King'? I have long wanted to try the level of you so-called 'Demi-Human Ten Heroes'."
Divine Skill Flash! The ground beneath Go Gin's feet exploded, a faint light flashed across the surface of his body, and he rushed towards Gray King at an extraordinary speed.
The heavy Wolf Tooth Club swung.
Bang! Gray King's sharp claws crossed in front of his chest, colliding with the Spiked Hammer, emitting a loud crash.
The air surged.
A crack appeared in the ground beneath Gray King's feet, his arms pressed down a bit, but he blocked Go Gin's heavy blow.
"I'll kill you!" Gray King's eyes darkened, and he let out a sharp roar, "Rat Tide!"
A gray light enveloped Gray King's entire body, and pairs of scarlet eyes emerged from all over Gray King, which were fist-sized rats.
In an instant! A dense swarm of rats poured out of Gray King's body. Since the two were extremely close, these rats quickly climbed onto Go Gin's body.
A large number of rats chattered, seemingly trying to gnaw at Go Gin's flesh.
"What kind of ability is this!"
Go Gin was also encountering this situation for the first time, and immediately retreated while activating his Martial Arts: "Outer Skin Enhancement!"
Seeming a little uneasy, he used Martial Arts again.
Outer Skin Super-Enhancement
Using two kinds of Martial Arts in succession for defense made Go Gin's skin hardness no weaker than ordinary metal.
Smack! Go Gin slapped the rats that were constantly gnawing on him into a pulp: "Ordinary rats?"
Seeing that these rats could no longer harm him and were just ordinary rats, Go Gin stopped paying attention to them and charged up again, swinging his Spiked Hammer.
Boom—bang—boom!
The two figures fought in a frenzy on the open ground, causing the Ogres and Iron Ratmen behind them to involuntarily hold their breath.
Such strength was far beyond their imagination.
Many Iron Ratmen couldn't believe that the Ogre could actually fight their chieftain to a standstill.
However.
The fierce battle didn't last long. Go Gin, who seemed extremely strong, began to be suppressed. Even outsiders could see that Go Gin's movements were significantly slower than at the beginning.
"Jie Jie ha, did you notice?"
Gray King swung his sharp claws, constantly colliding with the Spiked Hammer in Go Gin's hand, and laughed triumphantly, "My Rat Tide isn't made up of ordinary rats. These cute little fellows will continuously release a kind of toxin."
Go Gin's expression changed: "Force Strike!"
Bang! The powerful strike forced the two to separate again.
Go Gin quickly retreated, panting heavily. He could already feel his arms and body gradually becoming paralyzed.
"You despicable fellow." Go Gin looked at the triumphant Gray King opposite him with some anger.
"Hey, hey, where do you think this is, you outsider? This is the Abelion Hills."
Gray King let out a disdainful sneer, then turned his head and looked at the Water Element Ogre and Earth Element Ogre behind him, "I thought those two would remind you, but they didn't do anything. It seems they don't really submit to you, 'Great Troll'."
The effects of the poison.
Made Go Gin feel the numbness in his body getting worse and worse. This was clearly not an ordinary toxin. He shook his head: "I told you, I hate that title!"
"Your strength isn't bad."
Gray King, looking at Go Gin, who was poisoned by the "Rat Plague" and still able to fight him for so long, without even collapsing yet, revealed appreciation in his scarlet eyes: "How about submitting to me?"
Hearing this.
A surge of anger rose in Go Gin's heart, the same words again.
"Recruiting my subordinates in front of me."
"I can't pretend I didn't see that." Suddenly, a sinister sneer came from above.
Gray King's gaze faltered, and he quickly raised his head to look towards the sky.
He saw that at some unknown time, a figure wrapped in a red robe was floating in mid-air, quietly watching them.
"Dragon Lightning!"
Tang Zheng didn't bother with words; these Iron Ratmen had killed so many Ogres, all of which were Experience Points.
Dazzling dragon-shaped lightning condensed in mid-air, and then in the blink of an eye, it crashed down on Gray King.
"Ah!!" Gray King let out a scream.
The electric light dissipated.
Gray King's fur was black all over, and arcs of electricity flickered on his hair, which was as hard as steel. The whole person let out a sharp scream: "It hurts so much, get down here!!"
Hmm? "He has lightning resistance?"
Tang Zheng was a little surprised to see that Gray King had withstood a hit from Dragon Lightning without suffering serious damage: "In that case, Fire Dragon!"
Crimson flames swept into the sky, turning into a pillar of fire that fell from the air.
"Wa, wait a minute!"
The moment Gray King saw the flames, a look of horror appeared in his eyes. He turned around and prepared to escape, but it was already too late.
Boom!
The high-temperature flames engulfed Gray King, causing an explosion.
With the blessing of the passive ability "Element's Blessing," the power of the Magic was further enhanced and amplified.
The hard fur, scorched by the flames, provided no protection at all. Gray King was enveloped in the flames, letting out miserable wails and screams.
This one of the "Demi-Human Ten Heroes," under everyone's gaze, turned into charcoal in the burning flames without any ability to resist.
『Gained 32789 Experience Points』
[Experience Bar:462311/410000]
All the Iron Ratmen had an unbelievable look on their faces. For a time, they were speechless, and a sense of panic spread.
"Fire Dragon."
Tang Zheng's faint voice sounded again.
The scarlet high-temperature flames smashed down on the location of the Iron Ratmen, turning into a sea of fire, engulfing a large number of Iron Ratmen.
"Dragon Lightning"
"Dragon Lightning"
Another two shots of Dragon Lightning, and about 800 elite Iron Ratmen were completely wiped out by Tang Zheng in one go.
『Gained Experience Points 271』
『Gained Experience Points 325』
『Gained Experience Points 308』
『...』
[Experience Bar: 730623/410000]
The strength of these Iron Ratmen averaged above LV10 each, instantly giving Tang Zheng about 250,000 Experience Points.
"The Experience Points provided by these Demi-human Races, most of whom possess special abilities, are generally far greater than Demon Creatures of the same level."
A look of surprise flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes as he manipulated the Flight Magic to descend from the air, arriving in front of an Iron Ratman at the edge of the flames, most of its body charred, with only a breath left.
"All-Race Charm!"
The light of Mana flashed in Tang Zheng's eyes: "Tell me the location of your Tribe."
He really didn't have any intention of continuing to conquer other Demi-human Races during this period. Once the drought lasted long enough, these Demi-humans would fall into chaos on their own, and that would be a good time to reclaim them.
But now.
Since the other party had already come knocking on his door, there was no reason not to return the favor.
Tang Zheng, holding the Iron Ratman with only a breath left in one hand, turned around and looked at the figure behind him who could barely stand: "You're really in a mess, Go Gin."
"I underestimated them."
Go Gin's cheeks twitched a few times as he spoke in a low voice.
He originally thought that the other party was one of the "Demi-Human Ten Heroes" and would fight in the same way as a Warrior, but he didn't expect them to play such tricks.
"This is the Hills, not the Arena you were in before."
Tang Zheng said lightly, looking past Go Gin at the two Element Ogres behind him: "Go Gin stays to deal with the corpses, you two take all the Ogres and follow me."
"Yes!"
"Yes!" The Water Element Ogre and Earth Element Ogre excitedly replied.
The Iron Ratmen Race is very large.
This is related to the fact that the Iron Ratmen do not have excessive requirements for the environment, their food is mainly omnivorous, and even their fertility is relatively strong.
Of course.
Compared with Goblins, their fertility is much weaker, and the growth time of Iron Ratmen is also relatively long.
Originally, the Iron Ratmen Race was divided into three Tribes. Since the appearance of the "Gray King," he has ruled all three Tribes, and the total population has exceeded 18,000.
It is the Race with the largest number of people in the southern part of the entire Hills area.
Under normal circumstances.
Most of the Hills area is very open, and the resources are relatively abundant. In addition, the Iron Ratmen are omnivorous and have no requirements for the environment, so the number of them shouldn't be so small.
The reason for this is not complicated. In addition to the Hills area being full of chaos and frequent wars between Tribes,
There is also a huge factor.
From another Demi-human Race - the Spider People!
The two Demi-human Races can be described as having a blood feud, because one of the Spider People's foods is the Iron Ratmen.
The Spider People are one of the 12 mainstream Races in the Hills area. They are a type of Demi-human with four very slender limbs, shaped like spiders.
Iron Ratmen are born with steel-like body hair, but Spider People are born with the ability to spit silk from their mouths. The hardness of these silks is comparable to steel, so they are often made into clothes by Spider People.
Relying on the steel hardness of the silk, coupled with the slender body and agile racial characteristics, this leads to the Iron Ratmen being at a clear disadvantage when facing the Spider People.
"These Demi-human Races are really more special than the last. Humans are indeed too weak compared to these Demi-humans."
Tang Zheng learned about the other party's Race from the Iron Ratmen in his hand, and sighed secretly.
Boom—Boom—
The explosion of flames exploded in the territory of the Iron Ratmen.
Tang Zheng rode the Bone Dragon, ignoring the Magic attacks that bombarded him from the Iron Ratmen Tribe below, using the powerful power of the 5th-tier Magic.
He forcibly blasted through the defense line of the Iron Ratmen Race.
The angry roars, miserable wails, and painful screams of the Iron Ratmen permeated the Tribe.
The amazing power of the area Magic transformed from "Dragon Lightning" into "Fire Dragon" constantly turned the bottom into a sea of fire.
Facing Tang Zheng in the sky.
All the Magic of the Iron Ratmen could not cause damage, and bow and arrow attacks could not fly too high, even if there were archers with the "Guerrilla" class among them.
Tang Zheng only consumed a little Mana to create "Magic Arrow", and he could easily offset these arrows.
Faced with the Magic bombardment of powerful Magic Casters, and the invasion of thousands of Ogres on the periphery.
After only resisting for half a day.
The entire Iron Ratmen collapsed completely.
Tang Zheng controlled one of the Iron Ratmen Priests and asked him to announce his surrender, so he gathered about 5,000 Iron Ratmen.
Apart from the Iron Ratmen who were killed by him, most of the Iron Ratmen fled in all directions.
[Experience Bar:1101052/410000]
Tang Zheng didn't know how many Iron Ratmen died at his hands, but he confirmed through the Attribute Panel that his Experience Points had once again exceeded one million.
