fan asked, "What's going on""Don't worry, I'm going to save her right now."Ye Bufan said and rushed toward the dormitory building, Xiao Que eagerly shouted: "Teacher Ye, can you do it The fire is too...Ye Bufan let out a cold smile: “Are you trying to rob me”

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Fangzhou and the others behind him immediately prepared for battle.

With the benefits they had just gained from the Spirit Essence, they were not afraid of these people at all.

Zhao Mingzhen, however, was unaware of all this. He called out from his lofty position, "Talents and treasures naturally belong to those with the ability to obtain them. What's wrong with me taking them from you"

Seeing an opportunity, Du Chong immediately chimed in behind him, fanning the flames: "You're right, Senior Brother Zhao, this kind of person deserves a taste of his own medicine. He needs to learn how to respect the strong!"

Zhao Ming pointed with his finger, and the Qingfeng sword in mid-air hummed, ready to strike.

"Stop it!"

Shu Yueli roared with anger, and then a huge ice shield appeared in front of Ye Bufan.

Then, glaring fiercely at Zhao Mingzhen and the others, he said: "What do you want to do The Shenjian Mountain Villa is also a respectable eight-star sect. Do we have to grab what we can't get"

Du Chong said, "Water Fairy isn't something we need to fight. It's just that this guy is too greedy! He got so much Spirit Nourishing Spring and didn't even share any with us!"

"Get out of here! Do you even have any shame"

Jiang Fangzhou spat at him fiercely, "When you got the Red Yuan Guo, did you ever think of sharing it with us"

Seeing Shui Yueli protecting Ye Bufan, Zhao Mingzhen's expression darkened.

Okay, stop arguing, Water Lily. I'm giving you face.

I gave him one red yuan fruit, and he traded half a bottle of nourishing spirit spring in return.

In his opinion, not taking all the Spirit Nurturing Springs was already a great show of face.

Ye Bufan smiled coldly, "Trading for a Hongyuan Fruit with Yingshen Spring Are you insane to even dream of doing this here"

Red Yuan Guo was originally a derivative product of the Shenquan, without Shenquan it was a treasure, with Shenquan, it was nothing.

Its effects are far superior to even a single drop of the Divine Spring, let alone half of it.

Seeing the other party repeatedly disrespect him and even mock him, Zhao Ming was furious.

"Narcissus, you saw it too. This fellow is acting recklessly, so don't blame me for being ruthless!"

This guy was about to make a move again, but just then, a female disciple from Tianshui Pavilion cried out in fright, pointing at the base of the hill and shouting, “Everyone, look! What is that”

Everyone followed her finger and saw countless black creatures appearing at the foot of the mountain, gathering rapidly toward them, like a black carpet being spread out.

The distance was now closer, and everyone could see what it was. It turned out to be a bunch of huge rats, as big as pigs in size.

Unlike ordinary mice, this creature has not a single hair on its body. Its two blood-red eyes gleam with a bloody light.

The head looked unusually large, somewhat disproportionate to the body. Its mouth was filled with teeth that resembled steel blades, gleaming with a ghastly white light in the sunlight.

"This is the Iron-Skinned Golden Mouse."

As the core disciple of the Baxi Sect, Shuǐ Yuè Lì was well-traveled and knowledgeable. She immediately recognized this kind of monster.

The first female disciple to discover it asked, “Senior sister, is this thing very powerful”

Shuǐyuèlí's expression was grave: "The Iron-Skinned Golden Rat, as its name suggests, has incredibly strong defenses. Its thin skin is as tough as iron."

And its teeth were particularly sharp, able to tear apart anything.

This thing, in terms of level, is only a fifth-order monster, but once a hundred or more gather together, even sixth-order and seventh-order monsters have to avoid its edge, after all, they are too ferocious.

"A hundred I'd say there are probably tens of thousands."

People watched the approaching tin-plated gold eater, and couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Just like Shui Yueli said, taking out one of these things isn't a big deal, they could just pull out anyone to wipe it out. But once they scale up, that's a different story altogether.

Even if ants were numerous enough, they could kill an elephant. Lions and tigers would also stay far away, let alone these incredibly powerful steel-plated gold-eating rats.

"What should I do now"

This is what everyone was thinking at the moment, but after much thought, they couldn't come up with any solutions.

If they had taken to the skies directly outside the Tiānluó Secret Realm, it would have been much easier, after all, these iron-skinned gold-eating rats were incapable of flight.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing the despair in each other's eyes.

"Don't worry, I've got you!"

Zhao Mingzhen stepped forward, feeling that if he could prove himself at this moment, he would surely win Shui Yueli's favor.

He watched the approaching mouse horde, pointing at a hulking ironclad Gold-Eater among them.

"If I'm not mistaken, that should be the Rat King. As the saying goes, 'Catch the thief, catch the king first.' I'll go take care of that guy, and these rats will retreat."

Suiyue Li frowned: "Senior Brother Zhao, this doesn't seem right. There are so many Iron-Skin Gold Devouring Rats. It would be quite difficult to get through and capture the Rat King."

That iron-clad gold-eating rat is indeed the Rat King, but it's about two or three hundred meters away from them.

Faced with countless mice guards, it would be nearly impossible to break through.

"Don't worry, I can handle this. With my sword alone, I'll definitely chop its rat head off!"

Zhao Mingzhen had just broken through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and this was a time when he was brimming with confidence.

Having spoken, he rose into the air with a leap of several dozen feet and charged straight toward the rats.

As his feet were about to touch the ground, the Qingfeng Sword in his hand suddenly slashed out, transforming into a three-zhang long sword glow that struck the Ironclad Gold Devourer below.

A blade of light descended, and the iron-skinned golden devourer that charged head-on was instantly split in half. The dozen or so on the ground were also sent flying.

Faced with this result, Zhao Mingzhen's heart sank. This thing was even more powerful than he had imagined.

He hails from the Divine Sword Mountain Villa. His swordsmanship is naturally unparalleled, incredibly sharp and fierce.

In this scenario, only one Ironhide Gold-Eating Rat was slain. The anticipated scene of a single sword sweep obliterating the entire horde did not materialize.

The remaining mice were shaken away but immediately scrambled back up, each one unharmed and flew right back over. This shows just how terrifyingly strong its defenses are.

Zhao Ming landed with both feet and immediately fell into the horde of rats. Those ferocious Ironhide Gold-Eaters didn't give him a chance to think, one by one they pounced on him like wolves.

The light of the sword in his hand howled, one sword after another slashed out, blood splattered, and within breaths, dozens of iron-skinned gold-eating rats were slain.

But this speed is far too slow; his killing speed is nowhere near as fast as those rats rushing towards him.

The iron-skinned golden devouring rat has three major characteristics. First, it has a strong defense capability with bronze skin and iron bones.

The second row of teeth has an extremely ferocious offensive ability, capable of swallowing gold and iron.

The third is extremely ferocious, fearless of death, and the death of their comrades only fueled their ferocity. They showed no intention of retreating whatsoever.

That's exactly why Zhao Mingzhen couldn't advance after landing, instead being forced to retreat repeatedly as the rats swarmed him.

Moments later, relying solely on the Qingfeng Sword in his hand, he could no longer withstand the frenzied attack of the Iron-Skin Gold-Eating Rat. Numerous wounds had appeared on his body.

Although not seriously injured, Zhao Mingzhen also saw that it was impossible to do anything about the situation.

Unable to do anything else, he could only turn around and run up the small hill. Their plan to capture the king first had completely failed.
