Chapter 283: Gray King vs. Go-Jin, Experience points break

The Water Elemental Ogre grins and lets out a cruel laugh, its two protruding sharp teeth reflecting a cold glint in the sunlight, and it swings the nail hammer in its hand.

Bang!

An Iron Rat in front is blasted away with a single strike; although its fur, harder than steel, is not destroyed, the spot where it made contact with the nail hammer caves in on the spot.

Chunks of internal organs and blood are coughed out from the Iron Rat's mouth.

The terrifying force causes its body to knock over several other Iron Rats in the process of flying out, and screams ring out in succession.

Seeing these three higher-species Ogres, the Iron Rat chieftain reveals a look of surprise on its face, which is covered in fine gray fur.

"Water Elemental Ogre Tak, Earth Elemental Ogre Dui."

"Squeak-ha, if I remember correctly, these two guys have always liked to act alone and don't get along, yet now they have actually gathered together."

The whiskers on both sides of the Iron Rat chieftain's cheeks twitch upward, and its sharp incisors are exposed, as if it has seen something unexpected.

These two powerful higher-species Ogres are quite famous in the hilly region, and coupled with their style of acting alone, it naturally knows a thing or two about them.

"Who is the Ogre in the middle? Why haven't I seen it before?" The Iron Rat chieftain's gaze falls on Go-Jin in the center.

With the arrival of Go-Jin and the others.

The Ogres, who were originally at a disadvantage, quickly regroup, while the Iron Rats, facing the powerful Go-Jin and his companions, have no choice but to retreat behind the Iron Rat chieftain.

The two sides stand face to face.

"What is going on with this group of demi-humans?" Go-Jin's expression is somewhat ugly.

To be infiltrated into their lair without knowing it, especially looking at the Ogres around him who have suffered heavy losses, makes him even more annoyed.

"Iron Rats, hard and hard to eat." The Water Elemental Ogre Tak smacks its lips and evaluates.

The Earth Elemental Ogre sees that figure clearly, and its pupils shrink: "Gray King!"

The tongue that was originally cut off has now grown back.

The Gray King, one of the "Ten Great Demi-Humans"?

Go-Jin's spirit is shaken, and his eerie white eyes stare at the taller, more robust gray rat standing at the forefront of the group of gray rats.

"Squeak-ha, I remember who you are!" The Gray Rat chieftain, Gray King, sizes up Go-Jin, its whiskers twitching, then it becomes somewhat ferocious:

"A few months ago, I heard about you, the outsider 'Great Troll' who challenges the strong in the Hills everywhere."

"To actually be able to subdue Tak and Dui, it seems your strength is even stronger than rumored."

"No wonder so many Ogres have gathered together and are trading with humans!"

Click! Click! Click!

The Gray King raises its arms, its sharp claws colliding, sparking sparks, and it roars: "You damn guy, you are simply a disgrace to demi-humans. You are telling those inferior humans how weak you are!"

"Hand over all the food traded with humans, otherwise, I will cut you into minced meat and feed it to the dirtiest and weakest Goblins!"

Go-Jin is expressionless, but his whole body exudes a chill.

"I hate the title 'Great Troll'!"

Go-Jin raises the heavy spiked club in his hand with one hand, staring coldly at the Gray King opposite him:

"'Gray King'? I have long wanted to test the level of you so-called 'Ten Great Demi-Humans'."

God Skill Flash!

The ground under Go-Jin's feet explodes, a faint light flashes across his body, and he rushes in front of the Gray King at an extraordinary speed.

The heavy spiked club swings.

Bang!

The Gray King crosses its sharp claws in front of its chest to block, colliding with the spiked club, emitting a loud crashing sound.

Air waves surge.

A crack appears on the ground under the Gray King's feet, and its arms are pressed down a few inches, but it blocks Go-Jin's heavy strike.

"Kill you!" The Gray King's eyes sink, and it screams sharply: "Rat Tide!"

A grayish light envelops the Gray King's entire body, and pairs of scarlet eyes emerge from all over its body; those are rats the size of fists.

In an instant!

A dense swarm of rats surges out from the Gray King's body, and because the distance between the two sides is extremely close, these rats quickly crawl onto Go-Jin's body.

A large number of rats chatter, seemingly wanting to gnaw on Go-Jin's flesh.

"What kind of ability is this!"

Go-Jin is also encountering such a situation for the first time, so he immediately retreats while activating a martial art: "Outer Skin Strengthening!"

Seeming somewhat uneasy, he uses the martial art again.

"Outer Skin Super Strengthening"

Using two martial arts in succession for defense makes the hardness of Go-Jin's skin no weaker than ordinary metal.

Slap!

Go-Jin slaps the rats crawling on him and gnawing constantly, turning them into meat paste: "Ordinary rats?"

Seeing that these rats can no longer cause him harm and are just ordinary rats, Go-Jin stops paying attention and swings the spiked club to rush up again.

Boom—bang—boom!

The two figures fight into a ball in the open space, making the Ogres and Iron Rats behind both sides unable to help but hold their breath.

Such strength has far exceeded their imagination.

Many Iron Rats are even more incredulous that the Ogre can actually fight their chieftain to a standstill.

However.

The fierce battle does not last long; the seemingly powerful Go-Jin begins to be suppressed, and even outsiders can see that Go-Jin's movements have become significantly slower than at the beginning.

"Squeak-ha, have you discovered it?"

The Gray King swings its sharp claws, constantly colliding with the spiked club in Go-Jin's hand, letting out a triumphant laugh:

"My Rat Tide is not ordinary rats; these cute little guys will continuously release a toxin."

Go-Jin's expression changes: "Hard Strike!"

Boom!

A powerful strike causes the two to separate again.

Go-Jin retreats rapidly, panting heavily; he now feels his arms and body gradually becoming numb.

"You despicable guy." Go-Jin looks at the triumphant Gray King opposite him with some anger.

"Hey, hey, where do you think this is, outsider? This is the Abelion Hills."

The Gray King lets out a disdainful sneer, then turns its head and looks at the Water Elemental Ogre and Earth Elemental Ogre behind:

"I thought the two of them would warn you, but I didn't expect them to do nothing. It seems they don't really submit to you, 'Great Troll'."

The effect of the poison.

Makes Go-Jin feel the numbness in his body becoming more and more severe; this is clearly not an ordinary toxin. He shakes his head: "I said, I hate this title!"

"Your strength is not bad."

The Gray King looks at Go-Jin, who has been poisoned by the "Plague" and can still fight with it for so long without falling down, and a look of appreciation appears in its scarlet eyes: "Do you want to submit to me?"

Hearing these words.

A surge of anger rises in Go-Jin's heart; it's these words again.

"Recruiting my subordinates right in front of me."

"I cannot pretend I didn't see it." Suddenly, an eerie, cold laugh comes from above.

The Gray King is startled and quickly raises its head to look at the sky.

Just see, at some point, a figure draped in a red robe is hovering in mid-air, watching them quietly.

"Dragon Lightning!"

Tang Zheng has no intention of wasting words; this group of Iron Rats actually killed so many Ogres, all of which are experience.

Dazzling dragon-shaped lightning condenses in mid-air and then strikes the Gray King in the blink of an eye.

"Ah!!" The Gray King lets out a scream.

The electric light dissipates.

The Gray King's fur is charred black, and electric arcs continue to flicker on its steel-hard hair. The whole person lets out a sharp scream: "It hurts me to death, get down here!!"

Huh?

"Possess lightning resistance?"

Tang Zheng is somewhat surprised to see that the Gray King did not suffer serious damage after taking a "Dragon Lightning" hit head-on:

"In that case, Fire Dragon!"

Crimson flames sweep across the sky, turning into a pillar of fire falling from the sky.

"Wait, wait a minute!"

The moment the Gray King sees the flames, a look of horror appears in its eyes, and it turns to run, but it is already too late.

Boom!

High-temperature flames envelop the Gray King, causing an explosion.

Under the blessing of the passive ability "Elemental Blessing," the power of magic is further strengthened and destructive.

The hard fur provides no protection at all under the burning of the flames. The Gray King is enveloped in flames, letting out shrill wails and screams.

This one of the "Ten Great Demi-Humans," under the gaze of everyone, turns into charcoal in the burning flames without any ability to resist.

'Obtained 32789 experience points'

【Experience bar: 462311/410000】

All the Iron Rats reveal looks of disbelief, falling silent for a time, and panic spreads.

"Fire Dragon."

Tang Zheng's indifferent voice rings out again.

Crimson high-temperature flames crash into the location of the Iron Rats, turning into a sea of fire, swallowing a large number of Iron Rats.

"Fire Dragon"

"Fire Dragon"

Two more Fire Dragons, and about 800 elite Iron Rats are wiped out by Tang Zheng in one breath.

'Obtained 271 experience'

'Obtained 325 experience'

'Obtained 308 experience'

'...'

【Experience bar: 730623/410000】

The strength of these Iron Rats is on average above 10lv, allowing Tang Zheng to gain about 250,000 experience at once.

"The experience points provided by these demi-human races that mostly possess special abilities are generally far beyond monsters of the same level."

Tang Zheng reveals a look of surprise in his eyes, controls the flight magic to descend from the sky, and comes to an Iron Rat at the edge of the flames, with most of its body charred and only one breath left.

"All-Race Charm!"

The light of magic flashes in Tang Zheng's eyes: "Tell me the location of your tribe."

He truly has no intention of continuing to conquer other demi-human races during this period; once the drought lasts long enough, these demi-humans will fall into chaos on their own, and that will be the right time to recover them.

But now.

Since the other party has already come to his door, how can there be no reason to retaliate.

Tang Zheng carries the Iron Rat with only one breath left in one hand, turns around, and looks at the figures behind who can barely stand: "It's really a mess, Go-Jin."

"I underestimated the opponent."

Go-Jin's cheeks twitch a few times, and he says in a low voice.

He originally thought that since the opponent was one of the "Ten Great Demi-Humans," they would fight in the same warrior way, but he didn't expect them to play such small tricks.

"This is the Hills, not the arena you were in before."

Tang Zheng speaks indifferently, passes Go-Jin, and looks at the two elemental Ogres behind:

"Go-Jin, stay behind to deal with the corpses, and you two take all the Ogres and follow me."

"Yes!"

"Yes!" The Water Elemental Ogre and Earth Elemental Ogre say excitedly and hotly.

The Iron Rat race is very large.

This is related to the fact that Iron Rats do not have excessive requirements for the environment, their food is mainly omnivorous, and their fertility is relatively strong.

Of course.

Compared to Goblins, their fertility is much weaker, and the growth time of Iron Rats is relatively long.

Originally, the Iron Rat race was divided into three tribes, but since the appearance of the "Gray King," it has ruled all three tribes, and the total population has exceeded 18,000.

It is the race with the largest number of people among the southern tribes in the hilly region.

According to normal circumstances.

Most areas of the hilly region are very empty, and resources are relatively rich; coupled with the habit of Iron Rats being omnivorous and having no requirements for the environment, the number of people should not be so small.

The reason for this is not complicated; besides the fact that the hilly region is full of chaos and frequent wars between tribes.

There is also a huge factor.

From another demi-human race—Human Spiders!

The two demi-human races can be described as blood enemies, because one of the foods of Human Spiders is Iron Rats.

Human Spiders are one of the 12 mainstream races in the hilly region, a type of demi-human with four very thin and long limbs, shaped like spiders.

Iron Rats are born with steel-like body hair, but Human Spiders are born with the ability to spit silk from their mouths; the hardness of these silk threads is comparable to steel, so they are often made into clothes by Human Spiders.

Relying on the steel hardness of the silk threads, coupled with the slender body and agile movement characteristics of the race, this leads to the Iron Rats being in a clearly weak position when facing Human Spiders.

"These demi-human races are really more special than the other; humans are indeed far weaker than these demi-humans."

Tang Zheng learns information about the other party's race from the Iron Rat in his hand and sighs inwardly.

Boom—boom—

Explosions of flames erupt in the territory of the Iron Rats.

Tang Zheng rides the Bone Dragon, ignoring the magic attacks coming from the Iron Rat tribe below, with the powerful power of 5th-tier magic.

He forcefully breaks through the defense line of the Iron Rat race.

The angry roars, shrill wails, and painful screams of the Iron Rats permeate the tribe.

The range magic, which has amazing power and is converted from "Dragon Lightning" to "Fire Dragon," continuously turns the area below into seas of fire.

Facing Tang Zheng in the sky.

All the magic of the Iron Rats cannot cause damage, and bow-and-arrow attacks cannot fly to a very high position, even if there are archers with professions like "Ranger" among them.

Tang Zheng only consumes a little magic power to create "Magic Arrows," which can easily offset these arrows.

Facing the magic bombardment of a powerful magic caster, and the invasion of thousands of Ogres on the periphery.

After resisting for only half a day.

The entire Iron Rat race completely collapses.

Tang Zheng controls one of the Iron Rat priests to announce surrender, and only then does he gather about 5,000 Iron Rats.

Except for the Iron Rats killed by him, most of the Iron Rats scattered and fled.

【Experience bar: 1101052/410000】

Tang Zheng doesn't know how many Iron Rats died at his hands; he only confirms through the attribute panel that his experience points have broken through one million again.
