Chapter 175 Finding the Rat King's Lair

Wu Qingfeng, how long do you think this place can hold? Feng Tianyi asked.

Wu Qingfeng's gaze was fixed on the distance, his brows furrowed with gravity.

From this moment on, their fate would determine their future, and here, their lives would also be threatened.

I estimate at least five to six minutes! Wu Qingfeng said.

Five to six minutes?

Feng Tianyi frowned, for he was desperately trying to escape. Feng Tianyi knew very well how large this labyrinth was, and if they continued like this, they would have no chance of escaping this hellish maze.

Five to six minutes is impossible, let's keep moving! Feng Tianyi said.

Alright. Wu Qingfeng nodded helplessly. Although they were in a sorry state at this moment, these Purple Lightning Rats had not caused them any harm.

At this moment, a small Purple Lightning Rat suddenly darted out from the soil beneath Wu Qingfeng's feet. As soon as it appeared, it lunged at him with bared teeth and claws.

Seeking death!

A cruel smile curved Wu Qingfeng's lips. With his left hand, his treasured sword swiftly pierced the Purple Lightning Rat's head.

With a *plop*, the Purple Lightning Rat was killed by a single sword thrust. Blood splattered everywhere, falling onto Wu Qingfeng and Feng Tianyi.

Wu Qingfeng moved forward, dodging the attacks of other Purple Lightning Rats, and a blue light flashed on his left arm.

*Boom, boom, boom...*

With a series of loud noises, these Purple Lightning Rats seemed to be terrified and charged at Wu Qingfeng and Feng Tianyi.

Facing the attacks of these Purple Lightning Rats, Wu Qingfeng and Feng Tianyi dared not be careless.

The Purple Lightning Rats' attacks were too fast; a moment of carelessness would result in them being bitten on the neck or head.

After killing a small Purple Lightning Rat with his sword, Feng Tianyi swung his sword again, slashing at another.

At this point, he was already somewhat exhausted, as the number of Purple Lightning Rats here was simply too great.

Moreover, the number of these Purple Lightning Rats continued to surge forward. If the danger here was not resolved soon, the ultimate outcome would be as it was now, so he had to resolve these troubles as soon as possible.

Feng Tianyi thrust his right fist downwards, and a surge of violent true qi erupted. The powerful force repelled a large group of small Purple Lightning Rats and dispersed the surrounding rats.

Let's go, let's keep moving. Feng Tianyi said, panting heavily, but still gritting his teeth and moving forward.

Seeing Feng Tianyi's condition, Wu Qingfeng knew that this level of combat was too difficult for them at the moment.

If they continued like this, they would likely be completely annihilated by the Purple Lightning Rats, and might even die.

Therefore, he had to find a weakness here and use it to wipe out the Purple Lightning Rats.

Wu Qingfeng noticed a hole in a stone slab at his feet, with fine stone debris around it. This was likely a trace left by the Purple Lightning Rats. Thus, Wu Qingfeng thrust his left-hand treasured sword fiercely into the hole.

*Aowu~ Aowu~*

A series of pained howls echoed, and many Purple Lightning Rats emerged from the hole.

Wu Qingfeng immediately swung his treasured sword, severing the heads of these Purple Lightning Rats. He then placed the heads aside and burned them with a ball of flame.

Seeing that these Purple Lightning Rats were all dealt with, Wu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief.

The previous battle had greatly surprised him; the attack speed of these Purple Lightning Rats was too fast, and their numbers were too great.

If Feng Tianyi hadn't reacted quickly enough, he might have been worn down and killed here by the Purple Lightning Rats.

Looking at the corpses on the ground, a hint of doubt flickered in Wu Qingfeng's eyes.

Although the number of these Purple Lightning Rats was large, and they were all small,

they didn't rush forward all at once but attacked in batches, which puzzled Wu Qingfeng. How did they manage this?

It seems we need to find a way to leave here. Only by leaving can we escape these Purple Lightning Rats, Feng Tianyi said.

Yes, that's right. Wu Qingfeng nodded in agreement.

Just as Feng Tianyi was about to leave, a violent tremor suddenly came from behind them.

Wu Qingfeng and Feng Tianyi quickly turned to look and found that the cave they were in had collapsed.

Worry appeared on the faces of Wu Qingfeng and Feng Tianyi.

After all, such an event was quite tricky for them. The Purple Lightning Rats here were too dense. Even with their high cultivation, they would likely be worn down by these rats. If this continued, there would only be a dead end.

Wu Qingfeng's brow furrowed deeply. At this moment, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind.

Brother Feng, since this place is the nest of the Purple Lightning Rats, there must be a route leading to the Purple Lightning Rat King's lair. Only by finding this path can we escape this damned place, Wu Qingfeng said.

Are you sure? Admiration appeared in Feng Tianyi's eyes. It seemed Wu Qingfeng's intelligence was indeed quite good, and this idea was very correct.

It's definitely right. If we can find this map, we won't have to waste time in this damned place, Wu Qingfeng said.

Then let's go! Feng Tianyi said.

Wu Qingfeng led Feng Tianyi towards another path leading to the Purple Lightning Rat King's lair. His steps were steady, walking forward neither too fast nor too slow.

Neither of them dared to linger too long, because in such a dangerous environment, no one could guarantee they wouldn't encounter any special dangers. They had to hurry, because only by reaching the Purple Lightning Rat King's lair quickly could they leave this place.

In such an environment, their speed increased, and they soon caught up with the rest of the vanguard team. They continued to advance with the vanguard team.

Huh? At this moment, Feng Tianyi let out a surprised sound.

What is it? Wu Qingfeng asked.

There's a Purple Lightning Rat King's lair ahead, Feng Tianyi said.

Upon hearing this, Wu Qingfeng was stunned. Hope dawned in his heart. If they could indeed find a Purple Lightning Rat King's lair, they might truly be able to escape their predicament.

Wu Qingfeng and Feng Tianyi continued to advance, and they soon arrived near a valley.

This valley was very wide, and there was a path leading into it. Moreover, a strange fluctuation emanated from within.

These fluctuations were just enough to attract the attention of the Purple Lightning Rats, allowing Wu Qingfeng and Feng Tianyi to pass safely.

Let's go!
