Chapter 21: The Golden-Spotted Rats
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“I wonder how much bio-energy is in these golden-spotted rats?”
As Luo Fan thought about this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The pure silver rats all had three grams of bio-energy, so these ones with golden spots must have even more.
Gnawing carcasses?
It was not like Luo Fan had not done this before.
At this moment, he felt no stress at all, after all, it was just eating a dead rat.
The eight intestines placed their weapons on the ground and started to bite the flesh of the rat that had been flipped over.
“There is indeed a lot of bio-energy in this creature’s body!”
During the absorption process, a large amount of bio-energy entered Luo Fan’s body.
In just a few hours, a rat with golden spots had been gnawed clean.
“I’ve absorbed almost five grams of bio-energy. That’s really a lot.”
These rats were similar to what Luo Fan had guessed.
Ordinary mutated rats were the weakest, and the bio-energy in their bodies were also the weakest. They had about 1 gram of bio-energy.
A silver rat was stronger, and the amount of bio-energy in its body was about 3 grams.
And these silver rats with golden spots were the strongest he had encountered so far. The amount of bio-energy in their body was five grams.
“In this case, the rats that are even stronger than these golden-spotted ones would naturally be the purely golden rats.”
Luo Fan speculated that there should be stronger ones higher up.
Then, his intestines took action and shattered another mound.
They carried out the carcass inside. It was another rat with golden spots.
Moreover, this rat had more golden spots than the one which had been dug out earlier. They had almost occupied half of the rat’s body.
“It looks like there should be more bio-energy in this rat.”
According to the theory deduced from all the rats he had encountered previously, there should be more bio-energy in this rat’s body.
Luo Fan’s eight intestines extended out and the sharp claws began to tear into the rat’s body.
He had just absorbed it for a while.
“No!”
Luo Fan suddenly stopped biting. He was puzzled as he thought.
There was no bio-energy in the carcass of this golden-spotted rat.
Even if there was bio-energy, it was negligible. Even Luo Fan could not sense it.
“What’s going on? Have I guessed wrongly? Isn’t the rat’s hierarchy supposed to be based on color?”
Luo Fan set the rat aside. It was a waste of time to absorb it if there was no bio-energy.
Another mound had been destroyed, revealing the carcass inside.
It was the carcass of another rat with golden spots.
This time, Luo Fan was able to absorb bio-energy.
He did not continue to absorb it. Instead, he opened a few more in a row.
The rats buried here were all rats with golden spots all over their bodies.
Luo Fan opened more than ten mounds in a row, and in the end, he found that there was only one without any bio-energy.
“Could it be that only one body did not have bio-energy? It’s just like how some errors will always appear during experiments. This rat with no bio-energy in its body is the error, and the theory that different colors have different bio-energy is actually correct.”
This discovery made Luo Fan uncertain.
“I’ll wait till the next encounter to verify this. This underground rat hole is much larger than I had thought.”
Luo Fan could not quite figure this out, so he set aside the doubts in his heart for the time being and started to absorb the bodies of the rats around him, which had been dug out.
By using the bio-energy in the carcasses to upgrade the eyeball cells, more eyeball cells would become level-3 cells.
…
In an open area underground, a large, completely golden rat was lying in a pile of soft fur.
Under the fur was a stone platform, which placed the rat in an elevated position.
Around him were many large, half-silver, half-golden rats, squeaking non-stop.
No one could understand what they were saying.
The huge rat, which was all golden in color, yelled at the many rats underground for a while. Then, the rats scattered and left.
Not far away in this space, behind a huge rock,
a gray-haired rat was staring intently at the group of rats, its ears moving continuously.
After the golden rat had finished giving instructions, when the rats around the golden rat were leaving, it had hid itself.
After the rats had left, it scurried out from its hiding place. Its ears were moving, and no one knew what it was thinking.
Then, the rat left.
…
Luo Fan had absorbed all the bio-energy from the surrounding carcasses. He had obtained more than 50 grams of bio-energy and had evolved more than 50 million cells.
Another small area in the huge eyeball was filled with level-3 cells.
“Eyeball cells of level-3 grade can support several transmissions of information. I can talk to these rats now. I wonder if they are willing to talk to me.”
Luo Fan was eager to know what these rats were thinking.
All the rats in the surrounding space had been completely absorbed by Luo Fan, so there was no use for this place.
He prepared to leave.
“It looks like this downward path leads to this graveyard, so this is not the path leading to the rat hole’s main nest.”
Returning to the original spot, Luo Fan changed another path.
At this moment, a large number of rats suddenly gathered around.
It was as if someone had tipped off the other rats that there was eyeball food here, and everyone came quickly.
In a short period of time, more than sixty rats had congregated.
It was also the first time for Luo Fan to see a live rat with golden spots.
His expression changed, and he deliberately looked at the rat.
The light from the flashlight shone in that direction and stayed in place.
The rat with the golden spots was one size larger than a silver rat; it was just like a large cat.
Luo Fan’s gaze was unfriendly.
How should he deal with so many rats?
He silently opened the rat poison and scattered it around.
Anyway, his level-2 cells were immune to this stuff. He would have to see if the surrounding rats were afraid.
Then he started to move, until his eyeball was leaning against the wall.
Only by covering one direction could Luo Fan have the chance to defeat these rats.
Following the cry of the rat with the golden spots, the surrounding rats charged at Luo Fan.
Luo Fan brandished his eight intestines and hacked to death those rats that pounced on him.
The eight intestines were tangled with the surrounding rats.
At the same time, Luo Fan’s gaze was fixed on the large rat with golden spots.
That was the real threat. These ordinary rats could not withstand a single blow.
Luo Fan raised his knives and slashed down, killing more than ten ordinary rats.
The rat with the golden spots could no longer sit still. It stared at Luo Fan sinisterly.
Then, just as the two silver rats were about to bite down on Luo Fan’s intestines, the golden-spotted rat suddenly made its move.
He bit down on Luo Fan’s eyeball, wanting to kill him in one blow.
In Luo Fan’s field of vision, the rat with the golden spots was rapidly becoming magnified.
His eight intestines could not come to his aid as they were tangled with the ordinary rats and the silver rats.
Just as the rat with the golden spots was about to bite into Luo Fan’s body, a bone spike pierced through the rat’s head.
The large rat was directly impaled in the air, without any signs of life..
