Chapter 5 Rich loot! (Ch 5)

“breathe……”
Bevis held onto the wall, barely able to stand, and took deep breaths.
Even though the air in the sewer is dirty and smelly, it is still precious at this moment.
Just now, the Rat King, who was like… no, like a monster from the depths of a nightmare, let out a high-pitched scream before dying, as if drowning him in the depths of the cold sea.
One more second and he felt like he was going to suffocate to death.
Fortunately… he survived.
But the pain deep in his soul made it difficult for him to stand still.
As a rat catcher, he is knowledgeable and extraordinary, and has seen all kinds of scenes.
But he had never seen a scene like today.
The human-like [Rat King] is even… prettier than most girls.
Before, he thought this was really the private boudoir of a noble lady.
The illusion deceived his eyes.
He nearly lost his life over it.
Fortunately… at the critical moment, someone gave him a push.
Recalling the scenes just now.
Even though the Rat King had been executed by the noble boy, he still felt a lingering fear.
“This is… the Rat King?”
His eyes swept over the Rat King, who had a human-like outline and was covered with silver hair.
When he spoke again, Bevis found that his voice was hoarse and trembling.
After stopping the bleeding, he dragged the Silver Rat King out of the dirty canal to the side.
Zorn also sat on the ground to recover his strength.
At this time, he looked at his hands, fortunately the iron arm guards blocked most of the damage.
However, even so, the back of the hand was covered with bloodstains and scars.
The razor-sharp claws of the Silver Rat Queen are more powerful than you might imagine.
Fortunately, a fighter’s arms and legs are particularly strong in defense and have a strong ability to contain pain.
This also allows Zorn to maintain sufficient combat power even if he is injured.
With the amazing recovery of extraordinary people, they can recover as before after a few days of rest.
“Yes.”
Zorn looked at the snow-white, furry corpse of the Silver Rat Queen and nodded.
“This guy is the Rat King. If my guess is correct, there should be a lot of homeless people and the skeletons of some unlucky people inside.”
The rat king who eats people and spits out their bones.
Bevis’ heart tightened, and an indescribable feeling weighed on his heart.
In the sewers of Ogran City, there is a monster that is even more terrifying than the rumors say.
He had been here for a long time but had not made any in-depth discoveries.
When he looked at the dark and deep sewers around him, his breathing became much heavier.
Crossing the canal, Zorn checked on Isaac who was lying unconscious on the ground, and spoke slowly.
“He just fainted, his breathing is steady, and there are no unusual noises or weird murmurs. There shouldn’t be any problem, he will wake up soon.”
Just now, when Zorn called for help, young Isaac bravely pulled the slingshot and shot at the Silver Rat Queen, until the Silver Rat Queen’s second scream caused him to faint.
Facing such a terrifying monster, although his attacks were not very effective, he showed enough courage and calmness in the face of fear.
Staring quietly at Isaac lying on the ground, a strange light flashed in Bevis’s eyes, which were calm in the darkness.
“Maybe… he’s ready!”
He looked at the body of the Silver Female Rat King, where a silver glow was beginning to spread slightly, and then looked at the halo of the azure fluorescent moss, whose brightness began to rise and fall rhythmically.
Zorn withdrew his gaze and quickened his action.
He walked through the magic door that had been opened earlier and entered the lair of the Silver Rat Queen.
The deep blue illuminates the entire Rat King’s lair.
Go around to the other side of the stone bed.
His pupils narrowed slightly.
All I saw was a pile of white bones on the ground, including at least seven or eight human heads.
Many bones showed signs of being licked.
The man-eating rat king sleeps with his bones wrapped around him.
If Zorn had arrived a little later, more homeless people would have been devoured by the man-eating rat king.
After the rat plague breaks out, the underground [Rat King] in Oglan City will be extremely terrifying and powerful, and will even acquire certain “evil spirit” characteristics.
By then, many residents will be dragged underground by the rats and imprisoned.
Become food for the Rat King or sacrifice to demons and evil gods.
Once that happens, it will be much more difficult to resolve.
Although, Zorn and the rat catcher teamed up to kill this [Rat King].
But Zorn knew better.
The “rat plague” will only be delayed, not ended.
Before long, or even very soon, a new [Rat King] will be born.
It would be a more brutal, cruel, bloodthirsty and terrifying creature.
It was not until a terrible disaster broke out and a deadly rat plague swept across the city of Ogland, leaving irreparable scars, that it was taken seriously and could be extinguished.
If it’s just [player].
Zorn didn’t care about the disaster.
But now, he is a part of this place, and the city of Augland will be a breeding ground for his growth and development.
He must fight against these damn evil spirits, the source of terrible disasters.
Take back the things that originally belonged to him.
The Silver Rat Queen’s restaurant, boudoir and nest are not big.
A moment later, Zorn found what he needed under the bed.
This is a “monster treasure chest” made of snow-white short plush and the size of a lady’s suitcase.
In the world of “Holy Traces·Eternal Poem”, there are many magical creatures.
The “Monster Treasure Chest” before us is one of the magical creatures that will be well integrated into the lives of extraordinary people, even nobles, businessmen, and the middle class in the future.
Before, Zorn had thought of the “Monster Chest Factory”.
Through professional treasure chest breeding technology, the output of treasure chest monsters can be promoted, with seven or eight monsters in a nest, or even more than ten monsters in a nest.
Cultivate monster treasure chests with better personalities, brighter colors, and larger internal spaces.
This is definitely an investment with a very high return rate.
After opening the monster treasure chest and taking a quick look, he made sure that what he needed was inside.
Satisfied, Zorn closed the monster treasure chest again.
There are about 3,200 Krugerrands in it.
Gold coins from the “Kruger Plateau Empire” which has been lost in the depths of history in the “Misty Plateau of Saint Jarn”.
It has a higher face value than the Imperial Gold Pound of the [Republic of Otanston], which is located in the northern border of the continent, adjacent to the fog, and controls the Gulf of Erhai.
One Krugerrand coin is roughly equivalent to 1.6 gold pounds.
Just over five thousand gold pounds, plus a forbidden item.
This is the lucrative income that Zorn earned by taking advantage of [players’] information.
Low risk, high profit.
That’s more money than robbing a bank.
When Zorn reappeared in the sewer carrying a monster treasure chest.
The experienced rat catcher saw what the young noble was holding, but he pretended not to see it.
At this time, the fluctuations in brightness of the surrounding blue fluorescent moss began to become dense and rapid.
Both of them looked at the body of the Rat King.
The originally shiny silver corpse of the Rat King had now become shriveled and withered, and its hair had lost its color, becoming messy and rough.
And above the body of the Rat King.
An object the size of a thumb, like a bright silver star, was suspended above it.
“this……”
Bevis, the rat catcher, looked at him with his eyes slightly narrowed.
“This is a sacrifice that can be made to the mysterious and unknown in exchange for extraordinary power.”
Zorn spoke slowly.
“Or rather… it’s a core material.”
“But… there is also a ritual and other materials involved, plus a small price we have to pay.”
A stepping stone to the extraordinary world.
The key to open the door to the extraordinary.
Bevis knew exactly what the noble boy meant, and he also understood the expensive value of this material from the mysterious Rat King.
He looked at Isaac who was lying unconscious on the side, but he was too embarrassed to speak.
After all, the noble boy Zorn was the main force in getting rid of the Rat King.
Gu Lan wrapped the material with a piece of leather taken from the Rat King Lan Yin’s lair, and then stuffed the material directly into the hands of the rat catcher Bevis.
“this……”
Bevis’ heart palpitated slightly, and he opened his mouth, wanting to say something but unable to speak.
“Consider it my gift to Isaac. Aren’t noble men always rich?”
Zorn laughed at himself, saying that he was on the verge of bankruptcy.
This material alone would cost at least a hundred, or even several thousand gold pounds.
But for the future investment, Zorn was very generous.
Future [Legendary God Hunter], I will be your guide.
Just when Zorn was considering whether to take the Rat King’s body back.
“Aka…Las…”
“Aka…Las…”
It was like a whisper coming from the darkness deep in endless purgatory.
Accompanied by strange whispers like a dream.
Zorn felt that the world around him became hazy, unreal, and unreal.
The originally solid and straight underground passage swayed slightly left and right, and became winding in front.
There seemed to be human figures moving in the sewage in the sewer, and some strange, pale faces appeared in the sewage.
“Is it coming so quickly?”
Zorn’s heart moved slightly.
The two looked at each other, and without tacit understanding, they quickly worked together to lift up the unconscious Isaac, and ran all the way back the way they came.
