Chapter 49: Betrayal! The Fall of the Gold-Eating Rat King!

"Protect the Lord!"

"The rest of you Undead Bone Generals, follow me and kill!"

Wang Yi shouted and charged into the battlefield first.

Kill!

Dozens of Black Iron Realm Undead Bone Generals quickly joined the fray.

Their arrival instantly broke the stalemate on the battlefield.

The ordinary Gold-Eating Rats simply could not withstand the attacks of the Undead Bone Generals.

The scales of victory began to tilt toward the Undead side.

Moreover, as the number of fallen Undead increased, new Black Iron Realm Undead Bone Generals were constantly being born on the battlefield.

The defensive line of the Gold-Eating Rat tribe was being torn apart!

On the Undead side, although there were many casualties, Undead Skeleton Soldiers kept pouring out from various passages and immediately joined the battle!

Swish!

The group of Undead Liches beside Qin Luo were not idle either; they continuously cast the Undead Transformation Technique, turning the fallen Gold-Eating Rats into Undead.

As a result, the pressure on the Gold-Eating Rat tribe increased significantly, and signs of collapse were already beginning to show.

Squeak, squeak, squeak!

Seeing that the Undead Bone Generals were fighting without honor, the Gold-Eating Rat guards surrounding the Gold-Eating Rat King charged toward them.

These Gold-Eating Rat guards were all in the Black Iron Realm, charging through everything; the skeleton soldiers along their path were smashed to pieces and fell to the ground.

Finally, they clashed with the Undead Bone Generals.

Ding!

Wang Yi faced a Gold-Eating Rat guard, his bone spear striking the opponent's body, but it only produced a metallic sound, leaving only a tiny scratch on the rat's body.

For a Black Iron Realm creature, such a small wound could not even be considered an injury.

Chirp!

The Gold-Eating Rat guard lunged, slamming into Wang Yi's chest and biting down with its sharp teeth.

Crack!

A piece of white bone was torn directly off by the Gold-Eating Rat guard.

Fortunately, when Undead Skeleton Soldiers promote to Undead Bone Generals, their bodies gain a layer of white bone armor, greatly increasing their defense.

Bang!

Wang Yi released a Bone Spear Stab, which finally pierced the Gold-Eating Rat guard's body, knocking it flying more than ten meters away.

But the Gold-Eating Rat guard flipped over and stood up the moment it landed, charging at Wang Yi again.

"These Black Iron Realm Gold-Eating Rats are not simple!"

"The defense of their fur is extremely high, just like armor; it's hard to break through!"

"Even for Wang Yi, who is at Black Iron Two-Star, it is extremely difficult to kill a Black Iron Realm Gold-Eating Rat!"

Qin Luo frowned and looked at the Undead Liches beside him.

It must be said that these Gold-Eating Rats, which feed on metal ores, have extremely strong attack and defense.

At the same level, Undead Skeleton Soldiers and Undead Bone Generals are no match for them!

"Lord, please rest assured, it is our turn to act!"

Wu Ershiyi understood the meaning in Qin Luo's eyes.

As his voice fell, white light shadows flew out from the bodies of dozens of surrounding Undead Liches, quickly merging into the battlefield and disappearing.

Qin Luo caught one of the white shadows as it passed through the heavy battlefield and finally landed on the body of a Gold-Eating Rat guard fighting Wang Yi.

The Life-Bound Witch Gu moved and burrowed into the fur that even the bone spear could barely pierce.

Not long after the Undead Lich's Life-Bound Witch Gu entered the Gold-Eating Rat guard's body, the rat's body stiffened, and its sharp eyes turned completely white.

Puchi!

Wang Yi, who was fighting it, showed no mercy, his bone spear instantly piercing the Gold-Eating Rat guard's head.

Hum!

Having successfully killed the enemy, a white light suddenly bloomed from Wang Yi's body. His bones became rounder, like white jade, and the armor bone on his chest that had been bitten off by the Gold-Eating Rat guard grew back, becoming even harder and more solid than before!

"This is... a breakthrough?"

Qin Luo looked surprised.

He immediately opened Wang Yi's attribute panel.

Sure enough, Wang Yi had successfully promoted from Black Iron Two-Star to Black Iron Three-Star.

He was one step closer to the Bronze Realm!

His combat power against the Gold-Eating Rat King had increased by another point!

The reason Wang Yi was able to break through so quickly was not only because he killed the Gold-Eating Rat guard, but also because a large number of Undead Skeleton Soldiers had died on the battlefield, and their Undead Power had been absorbed by Wang Yi, finally completing the breakthrough!

With the Undead Witch Gu as a breakthrough point, the Undead Bone Generals quickly gained the upper hand, continuously succeeding in killing the Black Iron Realm Gold-Eating Rat guards.

Squeak, squeak!

The Gold-Eating Rat King seemed to sense that something was wrong and let out a cry, summoning all its most trusted guards back to its side.

Having lost the protection of the Gold-Eating Rat guards, the Gold-Eating Rat tribe could no longer withstand the Undead's offensive and collapsed completely.

Before long, only a few hundred Gold-Eating Rats remained in the entire subterranean nest, gathered around the Gold-Eating Rat King.

Surrounding them were countless Undead legions, encircling the Gold-Eating Rats.

"The real battle has only just begun!"

Qin Luo's eyes were like torches, staring fixedly at the Gold-Eating Rat King.

In this Chaos Continent, the hierarchy is strict, and the strong are respected.

A strong individual can often determine the victory or defeat of a war.

Bang!

The King of the Dark Werewolves, who had been standing behind Qin Luo, gripped the Troll Club and walked toward the Gold-Eating Rat King.

The Undead Liches beside Qin Luo also left one after another, scattering to various parts of the battlefield, forming a siege on the Gold-Eating Rat King just like the Undead army.

"Kill!"

Having broken through to Black Iron Three-Star and now standing about 2.5 meters tall, Wang Yi launched another attack.

However, his target was not the Gold-Eating Rat King, but the remaining Gold-Eating Rats.

Under Wang Yi's attack, the Gold-Eating Rats fell one after another.

Squeak!

Wang Yi's actions completely enraged the Gold-Eating Rat King; after letting out a sharp scream, it lunged fiercely at Wang Yi.

Bang!

Seeing the Gold-Eating Rat King attacking, Wang Yi immediately blocked with his two bone spears, but he was still knocked flying by the Gold-Eating Rat King's massive size.

"Attack together!"

The surrounding Undead Bone Generals quickly surrounded it and launched an attack on the Gold-Eating Rat King.

But the remaining few Gold-Eating Rat guards were no pushovers; they circled the Gold-Eating Rat King, forming a defensive and offensive formation that blocked the attacks of the many Undead Bone Generals.

And every attack from the Gold-Eating Rat King knocked away at least one Undead Bone General.

Crack!

One of the Undead Bone Generals was attacked by the Gold-Eating Rat King and couldn't dodge in time; it was pinned to the ground, and the Gold-Eating Rat King raised its only remaining forelimb and brought it down heavily, instantly shattering the Undead Bone General's bones!

This was the first Black Iron Realm Undead Bone General to fall in this battle!

Bang!

Just at this moment, the King of the Dark Werewolves passed through the Undead army, arrived in front of the Gold-Eating Rat King, and swung the Troll Club down heavily.

Boom!

Golden light shone on the Gold-Eating Rat King, and the fur on its body suddenly stood up like sharp spikes, actually blocking the King of the Dark Werewolves' attack head-on.

Puchi!

The Gold-Eating Rat King pounced on the King of the Dark Werewolves, its sharp teeth biting into its neck, tearing off a piece of flesh along with a piece of bone.

Half of the King of the Dark Werewolves' neck was bitten off, and black blood splattered everywhere.

Bang!

But the King of the Dark Werewolves was already dead and could not feel any pain; under Wu Ershiyi's control, it swung its club again.

This time, the Gold-Eating Rat King was directly knocked flying, landing in the remaining group of Gold-Eating Rats and crushing a few unlucky ones to death!

The Gold-Eating Rat King stood up again, staring fiercely at the Undead Bone Generals and the King of the Dark Werewolves attacking it, ignoring the rats around it.

Puchi!

A Gold-Eating Rat guard with white eyes suddenly exploded, its sharp claws swiping at the Gold-Eating Rat King's abdomen!

The Gold-Eating Rat King let out a miserable cry as a sharp wound appeared on its abdomen, and its angry front foot instantly swiped the 'rebellious' Gold-Eating Rat guard away.

As the dignified Gold-Eating Rat King, it never expected to be ambushed by its most trusted guards.

But this was not an isolated case; the remaining four Gold-Eating Rat guards all turned against it, pouncing toward the Gold-Eating Rat King.

Attacking along with them were the group of Undead Bone Generals and the King of the Dark Werewolves.

Woo!

Having endured the siege of many Undead and the betrayal of its guards, plus the fact that it was already seriously injured, the Gold-Eating Rat King let out a cry of unwillingness, anger, and helplessness, and was finally struck by Wang Yi's two bone spears—one piercing its heart and the other its head.
