Chapter 22: Exchange

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When the rat pounced on him, Luo Fan had used his spiked tail.

This was his last resort as all eight of his intestines were constrained.

The evolved spiked tail pierced into the rat’s body like it was tofu. It died instantly.

After the golden-spotted rat had died, the remaining rats were no longer a threat.

Especially since there was rat poison all scattered, the remaining rats gradually lost their ability to move under the effect of the drug.

After killing a few more, because there was no leader, the remaining rats fled in a swarm.

More than 30 rats had died around him, including the one with golden spots and two silver rats.

“Fortunately, I had evolved my spiked tail and killed this rat. With so many carcasses, I can evolve again.”

One of the intestines held a flashlight and shone on the bodies of the rats scattered all over the ground, from one side to the other.

Suddenly, Luo Fan discovered a different rat among the carcasses on the ground.

It was also a rat with golden spots, but its base color was not silver but ordinary gray.

“Why don’t I have any impression of this dead rat?”

Luo Fan looked at the rat, puzzled. The battle just now was a little chaotic, but he had paid attention to those rats which were powerful.

But when did such a rat get killed?

“Did I accidentally kill it as an ordinary rat?”

Luo Fan thought doubtfully, and then one of his intestines bit into the rat’s body to see how much bio-energy this rat has in its body.

“There isn’t as much as I thought. It’s even less than the bio-energy in the silver rat’s body.”

As soon as he absorbed it, Luo Fan knew how much bio-energy this creature had.

It was, at most, around 2 grams.

“Could it be that a rat with golden spots has so little bio-energy in its body? So little bio-energy, no wonder I didn’t notice it during the battle.”

Luo Fan recalled that there was a rat with golden spots in the grave, and there was almost no bio-energy in its body.

Therefore, there are loopholes in the deduction that the amount of bio-energy differs by the colors of the rats.

“Although there are loopholes, it is still suitable for most situations.”

Luo Fan did not continue to absorb the rats on the ground. At this moment, this place was no longer safe.

It seemed that all the rats in the rat hole knew of his arrival. At this moment, they might be gathering together to kill him.

“To purge the entire rat hole, I must kill all those rats with intelligence. Those large silver rats and those with golden spots.

“Once I kill these rats, those ordinary gray mutant rats will not be able to gather. The entire rat hole will naturally be safe.”

Luo Fan thought,

“But currently, I don’t know how big this rat hole is or how many rats are in here.”

He looked at the other forked paths and thought for a moment.

“I’ll go to the other passageways and see how big this rat hole is.”

Then, Luo Fan continued ahead.

He chose another path to explore.

He had not advanced far when a large grayish-white rat suddenly appeared in the middle of the path.

This large grayish-white rat was larger than all the rats he had seen, larger than that golden-spotted rat.

Luo Fan stopped in his tracks.

Because the large rat had almost blocked the entire passage, if Luo Fan wanted to go over, he had to kill this rat.

The eight intestines stood up and assumed a defensive posture.

The moment he saw the big rat, Luo Fan sensed trouble.

This was definitely the largest one he had seen in this rat hole. A fierce battle was imminent.

The grayish-white rat walked toward him and gradually approached Luo Fan.

Luo Fan was alert. His eye was fixed on the big rat.

Just as he was about to make a move, the grayish-white rat suddenly stopped in its tracks and spoke.

It made a squeaking sound.

Luo Fan was stunned for a moment. Then, he thought of something.

Some animals would seek help from humans when they ran out of food. It was the same for cats and dogs.

Could it be that this rat had come to communicate with him, even though he was in such a ghastly state now?

Then, he activated the level-3 eyeball cells to receive this voice. Under the action of the level-3 eyeball cells, the voice was converted into information and transmitted into Luo Fan’s intellect.

“Help. Kill Rat King.”

The grayish-white rat in front of him had sent three words to Luo Fan.

“Does this mean that he wants me to help him kill the Rat King?”

“Who is the Rat King? Is he the king in this rat hole, the highest leader in the rat hole?”

Luo Fan speculated and sent a message.

“Why do you want to kill the Rat King?”

Luo Fan’s message was more complete, and the amount of information was a little heavy for the rat.

The grayish-white rat reacted for a moment after receiving the information before continuing.

“Rat King, outsider, revenge.”

Three more words.

Luo Fan connected them simply and got the meaning.

“If I’m not wrong, the Rat King should be an outsider and it wants to take revenge. But why is the Rat King an outsider? Forget it, I’ll ask…”

“Where is the Rat King?”

“Food, down.”

“What does this mean? What has food got to do with the Rat King?”

At this moment, the grayish-white rat had begun to move forward. It even turned its head to look at Luo Fan.

“It wants me to follow.”

Luo Fan thought for a moment and asked, “Where to?”

“Rat King!”

He nodded in his heart and followed the rat.

Luo Fan did not think that the rat was lying to him. At least, in his opinion, these rats would express all their joys and sorrows, and would not deceive, let alone pull off a high-level deception.

Moreover, finding the Rat King was also his goal. Since he had confirmed that there was a Rat King in this rat hole, he had to find it.

Furthermore, he had to kill the Rat King because only then would the threat of the entire rat hole be greatly reduced.

One rat, one eye, they descended together.

The two creatures circled around and came to a secret tunnel.

This tunnel was very narrow and very concealed; it was behind two boulders.

The grayish-white rat got in first, followed by Luo Fan.

The space became narrow instantly. The grayish-white rat had completely blocked the way in front of it, as if it was digging this tunnel.

“Is this where the Rat King is?”

Luo Fan sent a message.

“…No…”

“How many rats are there in this rat hole?”

Luo Fan stopped in his tracks and transmitted the information. He wanted to know how many rats were in this Kingdom of Rats.

He had encountered at least a hundred rats here, and they seemed to be a small portion of the number of rats in the entire Kingdom of Rats.

“…”

The grayish-white rat started to think deeply. It did not give an answer after a long while.

“It seems that in the concepts of these rats, there is no sense of numbers. Although we can communicate, the information obtained is too little.”

For a moment, Luo Fan did not know what to say. He did not know how to ask.

These rats did indeed have intelligence, but their way of understanding was very different from that of humans, so it was very difficult to communicate.

If he had not encountered such a traitor in the rat hole, he would not have been able to obtain any information.

“But why is there such a traitor in the Kingdom of Rats?”

This made Luo Fan think deeply. He recalled the information about the outsider mentioned by this grayish-white rat.

At this moment, the grayish-white rat had been thinking for a long time and did not understand what Luo Fan was saying. Then, it began to move forward.

Luo Fan could not figure it out either, so he followed the grayish-white rat forward.

Perhaps, he would only know the truth when he met the Rat King..
