Mice dominate the dungeon

Beside the ore storage warehouse, the big-eared gray rat stood upright, its eyes wide as it watched its leader shovel all the hematite from the warehouse into its mouth.

It subconsciously tried to open its mouth as well, but it could never reach the size of the boss.

This makes the big-eared gray rat envious, since a big enough mouth allows it to eat more food at once.

But Big Ears soon noticed that the boss's expression was a bit distorted.

Then it saw the boss's body swell up little by little, and its originally pale yellow fur also changed.

Half of its body is a rich, watery purple, while the other half has turned into a metallic dark gold.

Although it didn't know what had happened, the big-eared mouse could sense that something was wrong with its boss!

"Squeak squeak squeak!!" The anxious, big-eared mouse began calling to the other mice.

In front of the warehouse, Twitch, who had turned into a double-color ball, could no longer hear the anxious cries of the big-eared gray rat.

"Damn it! This can't go on!" Twitch felt his body about to burst. "Make some minion rats to relieve some of the pressure on me."

Tucci took a deep breath, and his consciousness floated up gently, like a balloon released by a child, gradually rising until it reached a certain height.

At this moment, Twitch had a god's-eye view, and the entire mouse park appeared in his field of vision.

This is the special ability that Twitch's lord possesses.

With a gentle movement of the eye, one can find the [Baby Care Corner] built in the center of the park.

Having temporarily escaped the physical pain, Tucci's mind became unusually clear.

Immediately, he calculated the number of troops in the current park.

"Since we have such a large amount of resources, let's not waste them on logistics rats." Twitch licked his lips and brought up the front-line offensive unit panel.

[Giant Rat LV10: This large rat moves slowly but is highly resistant to damage and can be used to draw enemy fire (500 Elixir per rat)]

[Savage Rat LV15: Fearless and savage rat warriors can wreak havoc in enemy territory with their massive muscles (20 Elixir per rat)]

[Thief Rat LV15: These troublesome little guys only care about one thing: resources! They react incredibly fast and will endlessly acquire resources (40 Elixir per rat)]

Archer Rat LV15: Archer Rats can always deliver a fatal blow to the enemy on the battlefield (50 Elixir per unit)

"Three giant soldier rats, please!" Twitch waved his little paw, pouring holy water into the brooding corner.

With half the holy water gone in an instant, Twitch felt lighter, and the intense purple color on his body faded considerably.

But the amount of holy water is still increasing!

Twitch turned his gaze back to the panel. For the time being, the only unit that could cooperate with the Giant Soldier Rat was... the Archer Rat.

It is also currently his only unit with ranged attack capabilities.

With the giant soldier rats tanking the damage in front, it creates a great environment for the archer rats to unleash their fury from beneath them!

"Let's get 40."

Twitch shifted his gaze to another "nursery corner" and poured 40 portions of holy water into it.

The holy water that had just risen back to 2000 points was immediately wiped out.

Eh~~

It's so easy to spend money but hard to make it... Looking at the nearly empty holy water, Twitch couldn't help but sigh.

The rate at which holy water was being added finally began to slow down.

Holy water eventually rebounded to over 1100 points.

The magic power within the hematite was completely decomposed.

Looking at the unit panel, Twitch gritted his teeth and said:

"Since we're already here, let's get all the frontline troops ready in one go!!"

Then, 10 Savage Soldier Rats and 10 Thief Soldier Rats were created in each of the two Nursery Corners.

After a period of frenzied spending, Twitch successfully restored half of his body to its normal color.

As for the gold coins, Twitch had already had an idea.

He's going to build stealth bombs and spring traps!!

Every time troops are sent on a distant expedition, the park is left vulnerable in the rear.

And it is often at such times that uncivilized neighbors or monsters from other places will come to visit him.

This resulted in significant losses for his industrial park...

Now that he has money, he's going to lay a trap. If those rude guys still dare to come, he'll treat them to a feast of traps!

The reason we didn't set up these two types of traps before was because traps were too expensive!

A level 2 stealth bomb costs 100 gold coins, while a level 2 spring trap costs 200 gold coins!

Only when people are full and have nothing better to do do they have the means to spend money.

Immediately, Twitch placed 4000 gold coins into the two huts of the Builder Mouse.

Have them each create 20 stealth bombs and 10 spring traps.

Eventually, Tucci recovered his health, and his family's fortunes returned to normal...

[Current Holy Water: 549/3000]

Current Gold Coins: 284/3000

Twitch manipulates his consciousness back into his body.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw two incredibly tense rat faces.

Tucci was startled and immediately pushed away the large ears and iron claws on the left and right.

After comforting the mice that had come to protect him, he turned his gaze to the nursery and building houses in the distance.

Now we just wait for the flowers to bloom.

----------

The fluorescent mushrooms flickered between light and darkness.

Waiting is always agonizing, just like a hunter lurking in the shadows, constantly watching his prey.

The hamster park, which had been busy all day, gradually became quiet.

A faint sound came from a corner located outside the park boundary.

That was the firewood area, piled with dry branches, wood, twigs and other fire-starting materials, which the logistics rats had not yet sorted out.

Meanwhile, the dry branches in the pile of firewood were gently shifting, and the soft rustling sound was the friction between the wood and the leaves.

As the branches converged, a humanoid creature made of withered branches and roots, with a head and limbs, appeared beside the woodpile.

【The Dead Branch Monster】

A small plant-like monster, skilled in [mimicry] and [claw attacks], it is a neighbor of the mouse park and often visits the park.

However, such visits are often for the purpose of foraging and hunting.

Although they are frequently discovered and severely attacked by rats, they still yearn for this place.

The main reason is that, compared to rats in other places, the rats in this cave taste exceptionally delicious, and their blood contains a pure magic.

This made the picky eater, the withered branch monster, unable to eat the other mice.

Not long after.

Six or seven withered branch monsters gathered in the firewood area. They had been lying in wait outside the park, waiting to launch a surprise attack when the park's forces were reduced and its defenses were weakened!

One of the withered branches couldn't contain itself any longer and began to move its roots toward the park.

Soon, a patrolling squad of mice appeared in its hunting field of vision.

The withered branch monster gently raised its roots and, taking advantage of its mimicry, slowly approached the patrol team from behind.

As the distance closed, the withered branch monster raised its thickest branch, about to launch a claw attack.

Just then, the roots of the withered branch monster seemed to step on something, and the ground beneath its feet instantly caved in.

Before it could react, a tremendous force came from the ground, sending it flying.

Where the withered branch monster had just been, a square wooden plank appeared, with a huge spring attached to its bottom.

Spring trap!

The twig monster, which had been thrown out, crashed heavily to the ground. Fortunately, the spring trap was a functional trap, and ordinary overturning did not cause it any real damage.

However, the triggering of the trap completely exposed their lurking presence.

Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to unleash a massacre!

The withered branch monster suddenly stood up and rushed towards the park.

Then he tripped over a stone and fell to the ground again...

The repeated falls angered the withered tree monster so much that many of its withered leaves fell off.

Strangely, it clearly remembered that there were no stones under its feet.

The puzzled withered branch looked at the stone that had just tripped it.

It was a dark, round iron ball with a burning fuse on it!

next moment.

A glimmer of light appeared in the world through the eyes of the withered branch monster; it was a fiery flower interwoven with orange-red and jet-black, which was constantly expanding.

Immediately, a gust of wind blew in.

Before the withered branch monster could react, it felt like a leaf caught in a storm, involuntarily tossed into the air once more.

The terrifying explosive force tore through the withered branch monster's defenses, twisted its branches, and crushed a large number of withered branches into dust.

As it lay dying, it finally realized something was wrong and tried to escape, only to find that the remaining withered leaves on its body were already glowing with fire...

The combination of the spring trap and the hidden bomb resulted in a perfect combo!

Outside the park, the continuous explosions foreshadowed the failure of a covert operation.

at the same time.

[General Command]

Twitch rests his chin on his hand, his eyes slightly narrowed, as he sits on his throne.

"It seems the newly built traps are already proving very effective."

Tucci muttered something to himself, then ignored everything outside the park, his eyelids drooping again.

While seemingly resting, one's consciousness has already drifted far away.

In a rat trail far from the park, a reconnaissance team is heading towards a hidden cave.

"Alas?!"

The big-eared gray mouse in the team looked at the smaller mouse that was lagging behind in its team.

It was a small mouse with empty, somewhat dull eyes, following the lead of others step by step.

Just as Big Ears was about to urge it on, the dull little mouse suddenly shuddered, and its empty eyes gradually hardened.

Immediately afterwards, the mouse pulled out a crown made of thorns from somewhere and put it on its head.

Twitch's consciousness descended into the mouse's body!

Tucci familiarized himself with the mouse's body while checking the current panel.

The status column has some different items added.

[State: Excitement, Nervousness, Blessed, Burdened]

[Load-bearing items: Two barracks (total: 80 frontline soldier rats)]
