Online Game: Super Beast Tamer

Chapter 59: Alcoholic Demon Rat
On the outskirts of the small town of Beer, coordinates 2314, 2259.

Su Ming came to the wine cellar location given to him by El.

Outside the wine cellar, there were many players gathered.

El built five or six wine cellars in the flat suburban countryside, and each of them was surrounded by animal trainer players who came to complete missions.

However, there is no need to worry about the wine cellar not being able to accommodate people, because after the player who has accepted the task enters the wine cellar, the system will open up a special task space, and the locations where non-team players perform tasks are independent of each other.

As a latecomer, Su Ming already knew through the guide that the thieves in the wine cellar were a group of mutated rats, not humans at all. They appeared at night, so after Su Ming accepted the task, he went to the nearby area to practice for a while and came here when it was almost dark.

It is said that the person who just started the task stayed in the wine cellar for a whole day and really went to look for the so-called "thief".

After the sun set, the players who were chatting near the wine cellar immediately took action, including Su Ming. He took Xiao Hei with him and entered the wine cellar.

The scene in front of him began to ripple, and when it stabilized, the players around Su Ming disappeared.

System: You have entered El's Wine Cellar No. 4.

Su Ming lights up the fish lamp hat.

The wooden barrels filled with wine lay flat and neatly stacked against the wall, with a small path in the middle for people to walk on. The exhaust system ran steadily, emitting a slight humming sound.

"It smells so good." Xiao Hei rolled forward on the stone path.

"During the battle, some wine may spill, so don't drink it secretly." Su Ming followed Xiao Hei and said with some concern: "The battle will last all night, and getting drunk will cause trouble."

"Don't worry, Master. Little Black is very careful and won't drink secretly."

Su Ming believed Xiao Hei and said nothing more, walking towards the deepest part of the wine cellar.

There were also three layers of wooden barrels at the end of the passage. Su Ming walked forward, stood on tiptoe and put his hand on the top barrel. He turned his head and said to Xiao Hei opposite him:

"Xiao Hei, help me move it away."

"Here we go!"

Xiao Hei jumped, stretched his body, and caught the wine barrel that Su Ming pushed down.

After the position of the wine barrel became lower, Su Ming was able to exert more strength. After helping to lift the wine barrel, he and Xiao Hei pushed the wine barrel to the corner.

Su Ming and Xiao Hei continued to cooperate, and soon all the wine barrels at the end of the wine cellar were moved away. A rat hole appeared on the wall that was big enough for Xiao Hei to crawl through.

Little Black poked his head out, blocked the dark entrance of the cave, and looked inside curiously with his big eyes.

"Squeaky-"

A sound suddenly rang out in the wine cellar, startling Xiao Hei. He turned around in panic and said to Su Ming:
"Master, I didn't call you that."

Su Ming was amused by Xiao Hei. He pulled out the owl magic wand and said:
"I know the thief is coming, be prepared to fight."

"Ok!"

Xiao Hei retreated to the back, waiting for the monster in the cave to appear.

"Squeaky-"

The cries became louder and louder, and a fat gray mouse rushed out. It had originally come to steal the wine, but now it found that the wine was gone, and a black mass of stuff was hitting it, making it dizzy.

Su Ming waved the magic wand, and it drew a light green shadow in the dim environment. That was the light emitted by the life orb embedded in the owl's closed eyes.
-
320.
-
230.

Coordinated attack!
-
540.

Alcoholic Demon Rat (LV15): 2410/3500.

The active effect of the coordinated attack is much more powerful when dealing with a boss, but it is not very effective against ordinary monsters like this.

The alcoholic rat was attacked, its eyes turned red, its cry became sharp, and it launched a fierce attack on Xiao Hei.
-
36.

Xiao Hei is now thick-skinned and not afraid of attacks from ordinary monsters. He was too lazy to move and just fought with the magic rat, killing it.

The demon rat didn't even drop a copper coin, it was very stingy, but it did drop a tail.

Tail of the Alcoholic Rat (Quest Item): The tail of the alcoholic rat is like a sponge. They will store wine in their tails and sip it when they are craving for it. Due to long-term soaking in wine, their tails will emit the aroma of wine.

After the demon rat was killed, the squeaking sound in the cave did not stop, but became louder.

The reason why players have to enter the wine cellar at the moment of dark is to kill ordinary rats as soon as possible.

Only by killing 500 ordinary mice can you lure out their leader, the ultimate mastermind behind the wine theft.

Su Ming now does this task very smoothly and his steps are well organized.

But the players who first accepted this task spent a lot of time and energy to figure out this process.

The unlucky guy who had been guarding for a day and a night found out the next day that the thieves who stole the wine were actually a group of rats. He guarded the entrance of the hole and killed them for more than half an hour, but found that the rats kept running out. So he blocked the entrance of the hole and took the rats' tail to report.

He thought he was smart and could think of a way to block the hole, but when it came time to report, El ignored him completely.

El directly refused to give the reward on the grounds that "every wine cellar will be harassed by a few alcoholic rats to a greater or lesser extent, and the alcoholic rats simply cannot cause such a large-scale disappearance of wine."

After the player failed the mission, he took the mission again.

This time he blocked the entrance of the cave and kept killing them. After killing 500 rats, he lured out a bronze BOSS rat. However, it took a lot of time to kill 500 ordinary magic rats that appeared one after another. As soon as the BOSS rat appeared, it was dawn and the BOSS rat slipped away.

He thought 500 tails were enough to complete the task, but he didn't expect El still refused to recognize him.

After this failure, the player upgraded his level and upgraded his equipment before finally defeating the BOSS rat before dawn. He handed the BOSS rat's tail to El, and El finally believed that his wine cellar was stolen by a group of rats.

Later, this player shared this task process on the forum, and after many players tried it, some improvements were made.

For example, what Su Ming is doing now——

He rolled over a wine barrel, opened the lid, and poured the wine at the entrance of the cave.

The squeaking sounds suddenly became more rapid. The mice that originally appeared one by one now appeared in groups of three. They rushed out quickly, crowded at the entrance of the cave, stuck to each other, and stared at the wine on the ground with ferocious faces. It was very scary in the dim environment.

Many female animal trainers want to experience the original game but are afraid of living with mice in a relatively closed space, so they all find someone to guide them.

Of course, there are also male animal trainers who look for people to train them for this reason, but the proportion is relatively small.

It was scary, but they were crowded together, making it easier for Su Ming to harvest them.

As time passed, there were more and more rat tails in Su Ming's backpack, gradually filling up 5 grids of space.

The squeaking sound was replaced by a rustling sound, which was the sound of mice digging in the soil.

Mud was thrown out from the darkness, the entrance of the cave expanded little by little, and Su Ming stood a little further away.

"Xiao Hei, get ready. When the boss comes out, we'll beat him up first."

"Ok."

Xiao Hei stared at the dark cave entrance intently.

However, compared to vision, Xiao Hei found that it seemed easier to judge by smell. The mouse seemed to smell very fragrant? Even more fragrant than the wine outside. The closer to the outside, the stronger the fragrance.

A fat rat head emerged from the cave, with wine drops on its beard and a "crown" made of straw on its head.

It is much more cautious than ordinary magic rats and does not expose its entire body at the first time. Players must hurt it and make it angry before it retreats back into the cave.

Before Su Ming could make a move, Xiao Hei bounced over.

Charge and launch!
