"Speaking of which, there is a legend that a long time ago, a rat that smuggled itself from a spaceship accidentally landed on Talia, a planet that had just experienced a planet-destroying war. The surface of this planet was full of radiation, and the rat was infected and mutated. In its painful death, it embarked on the path of reproduction, just like the original Star God of reproduction. That is why there are so many rat people on this planet."

"Huh? How is that possible! What global rat plague?"

Qiong scoffed at it.

After all, compared to the Star God of Procreation which is spread across two-thirds of the star system, this rat only lives on a single planet. To say that it is like the Star God of Procreation is a bit of an exaggeration.

"After all, it's just a legend; it might be a fabrication by historians."

Karami shrugged, seemingly not believing the legend and just telling it as a story.

After walking a long way, we were less than two kilometers away from Riel's marker.

But it was unusually quiet here, as if the ratmen didn't exist at all.

Stephen Chow didn't believe it. Since the ratmen had taken over the Star Train's carriages, how could they just abandon them in the wild like that?

It felt like the calm before the storm.

But the facts made it impossible for Stephen Chow to believe it.

In a huge cave, a slightly dilapidated Star Train carriage was quietly half-buried in the ground.

"Found it! That was easy!"

The heart-shaped flowers were in full bloom, and the thought that this journey was finally coming to an end filled them with excitement.

"Don't worry."

Zhou Xingxing grabbed Qiong's hand and then picked up a few stones and threw them at the carriage.

Dang Dang Dang——

Several sounds rang out, but nothing happened.

There were neither rats nor traps.

"I'm probably overthinking it. After all, they're just rats."

Zhou Xingxing breathed a sigh of relief; the scene he had imagined—where countless rat-men would swarm towards him as soon as he approached the carriage—did not occur.

"Is everything alright?"

Seeing that Zhou Xingxing had been probing for a while, Qiong asked uncertainly.

"It should be fine, let's take a look together."

As they spoke, the two carefully walked to the side of the carriage.

Only after touching the train carriage did they feel completely relieved. It seemed there were indeed no traps, and this carriage looked like it had been abandoned by the ratmen for a long time.

Perhaps in their eyes, this is just one of the many pieces of trash on this planet.

"Hey!"

Qiong tried to lift the carriage, but most of it was buried in the ground and she couldn't lift it at all.

Zhou Xingxing quickly tried to put it back in his backpack, but found that it didn't work either.

Perhaps it's because it's a creation of the Star God, or perhaps it's simply because this thing is too big.

Let's try it together.

Zhou Xingxing and Qiong each tried to lift one end, but they still couldn't move it, which made people a little puzzled.

The two of us are quite powerful now, are the carriages of the Starry Sky Train really that heavy?

"Arno, can you help me out?"

Seeing that she couldn't lift it, Qiong stood up and waved to Arno.

Arno nodded and stepped forward.

The two were about to lend a hand, but Arno shook his head, seemingly indicating that he didn't need it.

The two men took a few steps back, looking slightly embarrassed, and prepared to watch Arnold show off quietly.

Arno gripped the carriage with both hands, and after a short while, the surrounding soil began to loosen, the carriage trembled, and it seemed to be trying to emerge from the ground.

Just as Arno lifted the carriage up, the ground around him collapsed without warning, and Arno fell into the hole along with the carriage.

"Arnold!"

Zhou Xingxing and Qiong were shocked and rushed to the edge of the cave to look inside, but they could only see that it was pitch black and they couldn't see anything.

Just as the two were still worried about Arno, Karami shouted from the side.

"There's an ambush!"

Stephen Chow turned around and looked.

Countless red eyes were seen flashing in the cracks of the rock wall before emerging and blocking everyone's retreat.

"What a coincidence? Arnold just fell down!"

Qiong frowned as he watched the ratmen draw their flame spears. Although he really didn't want to fight these ratmen, it seemed like he had no choice.

"It's no coincidence. It's probably a trap set by these ratmen to separate Arno from us."

Stephen Chow also drew his Flame Spear and stared intently at the swarm of rats.

Karami threw the ammunition box on the ground, then pulled out a string of grenades and stared intently at the swarm of rats.

"You all go down and find the mad dog Arno, we'll cover the rear here."

"What did you say?"

Stephen Chow was taken aback, not expecting Karami to say something like that.

"Don't hesitate. Although you are quite strong, so many ratmen could drown you. Go and find him. Maybe we can still have a chance to survive."

"You will die!"

Qiong felt a little reluctant. Although Karami had come to rob her before, the two sides had indeed cooperated on the way down.

"Didn't you hear me? Staying here means certain death for us all! This whole mess started because I robbed you, so I'll take the blame. We, the Destruction Gang, only take money! We don't kill!"

Without turning around, Karami roared and pulled the pin with his mouth, throwing the grenade at the swarm of rats.

Other members of the Destruction Gang also picked up their weapons and began firing at the ratmen.

"Let's go."

Zhou Xingxing sighed softly, grabbed Qiong's hand, and prepared to jump into the pit.

Before leaving, he looked back at Karami one last time.

Although he's not one of my kind, he's definitely a hero.

Taking a leap—

The two felt as if the dark tunnel had no end.

The feeling of weightlessness lasted for almost half a minute before the two of them vaguely sensed the ground below them.

With the protective power activated, the two landed heavily on the ground, creating a circular crater nearly half a meter wide.

Even with the power to protect him, Zhou Xingxing felt a tingling numbness in his feet; the pit was too high.

"Is everything okay?"

Zhou Xingxing pulled Qiong up, who was unsteady on her feet due to weak legs, and asked.

"It's alright... but it's so dark here, and I originally thought there would be train carriages below, but why is it flat ground?"

Qiong shook her head, then looked around.

Despite the flashes of gunfire from lances, visibility remained very low.

"Shi Bao, please do me a favor and turn on the lights."

Knowing that the situation was not good, Shi Bao didn't waste any more words and turned into light.

The two then discovered that what lay below was an extremely spacious cave, with many oval-shaped houses, resembling honeycombs, embedded in the surrounding rock walls.

The next second, red lights lit up in all the houses, all looking towards the two people in the middle of the arena.

Stephen Chow was then shocked to realize that these were all the nests of the rat people.

Just as the two were on high alert, the rat-men did not attack, but instead silently watched them.

"What's going on? They're not attacking?"

Qiong felt a chill run down her spine from being stared at, and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, let's stay vigilant."

Stephen Chow led Qiong, and the two walked forward cautiously.

The surrounding houses lit up with red lights as the two moved, as if guiding them on their way.

Ahead, the faint sounds of fighting could be heard.

Zhou Xingxing and Qiong exchanged a glance, both agreeing that it must be Arno.

So the two of them spurred their horses and galloped forward.

The fighting lasted only a moment, and the two thought that Arno had already finished the fight.

But upon closer inspection, it became clear that Arnold was kneeling on one knee, seemingly panting heavily.

Opposite him, a white mouse, about the size of a kitten and emitting a faint green glow, stood in front of Arno.

As Zhou Xingxing and Qiong approached, the white rat tilted its head and looked at the two of them, its eyes revealing a cruel yet excited light.

(PS: Finally, I'm writing about fighting again after a long time. This time it might be a bit more brutal.)

Chapter 103 The Power of the Mouse

"Has Arnold lost?"

A storm raged in Qiong's eyes.

He had personally witnessed how terrifying Arno's power was, but he was actually forced to kneel on one knee by this white rat in front of him.

Just as Arno was about to stand up, a black pillar fell down and slammed into him.

As the pillar collapsed, both Arnold and the ground rapidly caved in, leaving only a circular pit in the end.
