Chapter 1004

The blade didn't stop, cleaving two more.

The third slash came down, killing three more.

One continuous flurry of swings—seven rat-men cut down.

Qi Yue narrowed her eyes, raised her blade and swung again, blood splattering nonstop.

Red threads filled the sky.

White threads streaked through.

Yellow threads shot out explosively.

Gu Qing spread both hands wide, and a massive surge of red threads burst forth, sticking to everything indiscriminately—friend and foe alike.

Although everyone nearby would be affected by the restraint.

Our side's people could still receive the threads' healing effect, while the enemies could only suffer the restraint.

Ssi-ssi-ssi…!

Several dozen rat-men burrowed into the soil, but were wrapped and tugged by the red threads, finding it hard to escape deep into the earth.

Crimson lips parted slightly.

Puff puff puff!

Several rat-men were stuck by the white threads, completely unable to break free—like dogs leashed by Gu Qing.

Lower belly tensed and twisted.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Over a dozen were completely wrapped in yellow threads.

Like stepping on a sticky mouse-trap, their entire bodies glued together.

Their short four limbs struggled constantly, but were firmly stuck to their bodies; their fangs kept tearing at the threads, but even their teeth got stuck, and they couldn't even open their mouths anymore.

They could only let out terrified, helpless shrieks.

Zhuang Ya frowned and swung her blade, cleaving one rat-man, then smashed another dead with her shield.

She likewise couldn't cast her Sea of Fire spell, afraid of friendly fire.

"You dare bite me?" She was a little annoyed, and fiercely raised her foot.

Boom!

A meter-tall rat-man was actually kicked flying by her?

"Squeak—!"

Blood sprayed from the rat's mouth along with its scream, drawing a red line through the air before it hit the ground dead.

Is my kick this strong?

Zhuang Ya was a little surprised.

But she quickly realized this was the special trait of her new high heels—kick damage +100%.

Combined with her great figure and long legs, a swinging kick was already quite powerful to begin with.

Then bring it on.

Long legs swung, rat-man flew into the sky.

Another rat-man burst out of the ground.

Zhuang Ya stomped down hard with her heel.

Pfft!

The rat-head split open, brains bursting out.

"So disgusting…" Zhuang Ya grew even angrier.

Su Qin's iron armor also took a claw strike.

She immediately leapt back, drew her bow and fired.

At a moment like this, there was no time to aim—release and shoot.

Her long-term training still paid off; a rat-man was hit mid-air.

"Rapid fire!"

Su Qin nocked three arrows and rapid-fired them out.

Pfft pfft pfft!

All three arrows hit.

The rat-man collapsed weakly to the ground, dead.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A massive volley of arrows rained down.

A small portion of the female elves had leapt up into the trees, opening up distance.

The rat-men couldn't directly attack them.

These elves were basically all Tier 3 longbowmen, clearly very experienced.

Their shooting was decisive, with a very high hit rate.

Several dozen rat-men were struck by arrows and pinned to the ground.

"More on the east side, rapid fire!"

"Everyone concentrate fire, rapid fire!"

"Help cover fire, rapid fire!"

More rat-men were hit.

About half were directly killed by multiple arrows.

The other half, pierced through, struggled and tried to burrow into the earth.

But one heavy blade after another came falling down.

"Watch the blade!"

Thud!

"Continuous Sweep!" "Continuous Sweep!"

The female blade soldiers swung their heavy blades; the ratmen were no match at all.

Only the strikes that burst up from underground could land on the female soldiers, but these soldiers were all wearing iron armor, so it was useless.

The female blade soldiers had all been enhanced for attack speed.

They had already been extremely adept at dealing with lightly armored enemies, and now these ratmen had even weaker defenses—facing these two-handed heavy blades, they simply couldn't resist; one slash and they were dead.

"Thrust!"

"Tang Ruan, how are you? Thrust!"

The female spear soldiers took the ratmen's attacks and simply ignored them.

Long spears held level, bodies lunging forward.

The ratmen quickly turned into rat skewers.

Tang Ruan laughed: "I'm fine. These little rats sure are squeaking happily—Thrust!"

"We're going in too—Continuous Sweep!"

The female blade soldiers on the side had also pressed forward; the blade soldiers and spear soldiers, the two troop types, merged into one stream, and the over a hundred ratmen Tang Ruan had drawn in died swiftly.

Healing light came raining down.

The bite wounds and scratch wounds immediately healed.

The female soldiers were nearly unscathed; only a few had their faces clawed open, but they were now fully recovered.

Quite a few elves had their leather armor clawed through and suffered some light injuries.

But the ratmen only struck once at the front and almost never pursued; the elves' injuries were also quickly healed.

The ratmen struck once and fled, quickly burrowing into the earth, but they did not launch a second attack.

All the ratmen on the surface had been dealt with.

The chaotic battlefield quickly fell quiet.

This battle was fought in a very messy fashion.

There were roughly 150 ratman corpses on the ground, with blood everywhere.

The entire ground was a complete mess.

The previous emerald-green grassland was utterly unrecognizable.

Holes were everywhere, and the ground was covered with chaotically piled earth.
