Chapter 443: A Fat Gain! Eighty Thousand Energy Points!

Squeak-squeak-squeak......

Squeak-squeak-squeak......

A dense chorus of squeaks rose up, and a tide of Iron-Eating Mice quickly appeared in Xu Jingming's line of sight.

Their eyes were blood-red, and their bodies were no larger than house cats.

Yet wherever they passed, grass, shrubs, and even trees were gnawed clean to the ground by their sharp fangs.

Occasionally, a ferocious beast, exhausted from running, was caught by the swarm.

In an instant, it was swarmed over and devoured clean.

Even the bones were not spared, as if they had vanished into thin air!

"It's a mouse tide," Leng Yuexi also spotted this group of only first-rank Iron-Eating Mice.

For low-rank energy users, such a massive mouse tide would naturally be something to flee from at all costs.

But to her, a seventh-rank Master, it posed not the slightest threat.

Even if surrounded by countless mice, she could easily break through with a burst of her energy.

"Jingming, let's go. Don't bother with them—just walk right through."

Leng Yuexi said softly.

And as she said, the mouse tide, sensing her terrifying aura, all simultaneously veered away.

Though they had little intelligence, their biological instincts told them this was a being they could not provoke.

"Go? No no no, Sister Xi, I want to kill them all before we leave."

At this moment, how could Xu Jingming possibly leave?

In his eyes, this wasn't a mouse tide—it was walking Energy Points!

"Kill them all before we leave?" Leng Yuexi looked puzzled.

Though she didn't understand this behavior of Xu Jingming's, she didn't refuse:

"Fine, whatever you want."

Boom!

Intense heat erupted in a burst of flame, and she appeared like a queen born from fire!

Fiery and dazzling.

Yet just as she prepared to act further, Xu Jingming stopped her:

"Sister Xi, let me handle it. You just sit back and rest."

"Let you handle it?"

Leng Yuexi blinked slightly, then silently muttered to herself:

"What a strange habit—won't even let anyone else touch a mouse tide."

Though she thought this, Leng Yuexi retracted her flame energy.

She quietly stepped aside, leaning against a large tree, ready to watch Xu Jingming's performance.

"Last time, because my rank was too low and my stamina and energy weren't enough, I ran away."

"But this time, I'm going to make you all die! Doushen Shenlei!"

Boom!!

Brilliant and violent golden Doushen Shenlei erupted violently from Xu Jingming's center!

When he was still at fourth-rank lower tier, Doushen Shenlei's maximum range had reached eighty meters.

Now, at fifth-rank lower tier, even in its normal form, Doushen Shenlei's spread reached a terrifying three hundred and fifty meters!

Thus, under the eruption of thunder, a three-hundred-fifty-meter radius centered on Xu Jingming became a golden Lei Hai.

Crackling-popping—

A dense roar like a thousand birds crying rose up under the assault of Doushen Shenlei.

The surrounding shrubs and grasses were instantly reduced to ash.

Even the tougher trees, struck by the thunder, burst into flames and crashed down.

As for the Iron-Eating Mice, under this thunder, they had not the slightest resistance.

Like shrubs and grasses, they were instantly turned to ash!

From above, looking down, it looked as if a golden black hole had suddenly appeared on the map!

Ruthlessly annihilating everything around it!

"Is this what the full-power eruption of an SS-rank energy, Doushen Shenlei, looks like? The range is this huge..."

Not far away, Leng Yuexi had formed a barrier with her flame energy,

Protecting herself as she stared in awe at the towering, Lei Shen-like figure at the center of the golden Lei Hai.

The maximum range of a normal sixth-rank elemental energy user's ability was only about two hundred meters.

But Xu Jingming's energy range was nearly double that!

And as an absolute offensive energy, Xu Jingming's lightning also displayed astonishing destructive power!

"The energy's strength is one thing, but Xu Jingming after activating his ability also has quite the presence..."

In Leng Yuexi's beautiful eyes, a faint shimmer of admiration flickered.

Xu Jingming was already handsome, and his demeanor was extremely composed.

Now, surrounded by golden Doushen Shenlei, he radiated a domineering, world-conquering aura.

Leng Yuexi was a seventh-rank Master, but she was still a woman.

Under the dual boost of Xu Jingming's looks and aura, she couldn't help but be slightly enchanted...

"Ding~ Killed one First-Tier Lower Iron-Eating Rat. Ability Points +2."

"Ding~ Killed one First-Tier Mid Iron-Eating Rat. Ability Points +3."

"Ding~ Killed one First-Tier Lower Iron-Eating Rat. Ability Points +2."

"......"

Meanwhile,

After Xu Jingming's Doushen Shenlei erupted, dense system notification sounds rang out one after another without pause.

And he did not feel any discomfort at all; on the contrary, his expression was one of pleasure.

Although the Ability Points gained from killing Iron-Eating Rats weren't much, the sheer number of Iron-Eating Rats more than made up for it!

Just a simple burst of his ability had killed over a thousand Iron-Eating Rats, earning him more than two thousand Ability Points!

"This feeling is simply amazing! I hope this rat tide's scale is big enough to satisfy me!"

With a wild smile on his resolute face, Xu Jingming's figure moved, charging toward the direction where the Iron-Eating Rats were gathering more densely!

Although just a burst of his ability was enough to instantly kill the Iron-Eating Rats,

the rat tide's distribution was too spread out, requiring him to keep moving along with it.

Therefore, by the time Xu Jingming finished clearing this wave of rat tide, it was already seven in the afternoon, close to dusk.

"Hoo, hoo......"

The sun was setting, and the sky had already taken on a hint of darkness.

Xu Jingming gathered the Lei Ting throughout his body, gasping for air in great gulps.

Although killing Iron-Eating Rats was simple, doing it for a long time was also a physically taxing job.

From noon until now, maintaining the continuous release of Dou Tian Shen Lei without pause, his ability was nearly exhausted!

If it weren't for Leng Yuexi staying by his side the whole time, he really wouldn't dare to play around like this.

Of course,

the harvest brought about by this was also very obvious — just that one wave of rat tide alone had earned him a full 80,000 Ability Points!

"One afternoon is worth the harvest of the previous seven or eight days. If only rat tides like this could come a few more times."

Xu Jingming secretly hoped in his heart.

However, rat tides like this wouldn't erupt too many times within a period.

After all, no matter how terrifying the breeding ability of rat-type fierce beasts was, reaching a scale of thirty to forty thousand still took time......
