Mice dominate the dungeon

Whoosh!!

The burrowing ant stretched out its mandibles and stared intently at the burrows leading into its nest with its compound eyes.

Whenever a mouse appears, it will become their target, and be pierced by their sharp mandibles!

In the blink of an eye.

The tense burrowing ant felt a somewhat unreal vibration.

The burrowing ants looked up at the sound.

No rats were found.

But then I saw that the ant nest's lower part twitched slightly.

Just like that, it was like a gargoyle that had been sleeping for a long time, twitching involuntarily in its sleep.

The burrowing ant thought it was just being too nervous and misreading the image.

But then, dust began to fall.

It wasn't falling in large flakes, but in the finest dust, like wood shavings left behind when they were gnawing on the rats' buildings.

Dust seeped in through the gaps in the anthill and settled on the heads of the burrowing ants.

Before the burrowing ants could even think, a series of slamming sounds rang out overhead, like a monster's deep roar, or like countless rats desperately digging at the base of a wall!

Uh... no, that's not right!

It's rats smashing the wall!

Realizing what the rat was about to do, the guard ant's mandibles trembled, and its antennae throbbed violently.

Even though they realized the enemy's purpose, they were still helpless, because the guardian ants had never seen such an unreasonable enemy!

Why didn't those damn rats come in through the front door?!

We were already in ambush! Why did we go and destroy the ant nest?!

The disoriented guard ants began to question their queen.

But it vanished without a trace...

It seems the queen ant has never encountered this situation before...

The burrowing ants could only watch helplessly as cracks appeared in their nest, and then the cracks gradually widened, though very slowly, their compound eyes could see it.

Like a hideous, earth-colored centipede, it wriggled, forked, and crawled in all directions!

When the anthill let out its first real groan, it was the sound of the walls breaking, heavy and piercing, like the fearful and silent screams of the burrowing ants.

As the wall crumbled, chunks of stone rained down on them.

Those stones were painstakingly pieced together bit by bit by them using their saliva...

The burrowing ant raised its mandibles in an attempt to resist.

But upon seeing the giant soldier rat peering out to observe them, the burrowing ant felt a deep-seated fear of being dominated by a behemoth, and...

That sense of humiliation from the destruction of our community's safe haven!

This made their legs so weak they couldn't move.

At this moment, Twitch climbed back onto the shoulder of a giant soldier rat, looking at the burrowing ants inside the anthill with a delighted smile!

You ruined my trap, you made me spend more money!

Today I'm going to rip up your entire stronghold!

Tucci did not rush in just because the ant nest had been breached, but continued to maintain the same fighting method.

Let the two giant soldier rats continue to hammer and expand along the already collapsed hole.

As for the other two, they picked up the clods of dirt and stones that had fallen to the ground and smashed them against the burrowing ants inside the nest!

Although this offensive was highly lethal, it lacked accuracy.

A stone thrown down can only kill dull soldier ants; it has little effect on guard ants that can move nimbly.

After a moment's thought, Tucci's lips suddenly curled up.

He then commanded the archer rats to climb all over the giant soldier rats.

Then, make good use of that classic quote!

High-level players beat low-level players, and idiots are beaten.

Taking advantage of their height, the bow-and-arrow rat nocked an arrow and shot down the guard ants huddled deep inside their nest!

With the addition of the bow and arrow rat, the living space of the guard ants has been further compressed.

Tucci grinned, revealing his white teeth, and leaned back with his hands on his hips.

Hey!

That's called tactics!

--------

As the number of burrowing ants in the anthill continued to decrease, Twitch's panel automatically displayed a series of prompts.

Archery Skill LV2→LV3

[Smash LV1→LV2]

[War Trampling LV2→LV3]

【...】

Tucci wasn't surprised by the sudden appearance of the prompt; instead, he felt a sense of relief, as if something he had been waiting for had finally arrived.

The units that Twitch currently creates are born with corresponding skills, and some rare Soldier Rats can even awaken talents!

However, regardless of skills or talents, they are initially only at [LV1], and are all controlled by the lord Twitch.

If these skills are not upgraded, then the soldier rats created by Twitch in the future will always only have a natural skill level of [LV1].

To ensure that the skills and talents of the soldier rats are stronger with each generation, one must find ways to upgrade the level of the corresponding skills before creating the soldier rats.

At present, Tuqi has only figured out two ways to upgrade.

The first method: Start with yourself, the lord.

In Twitch's territory, there is a peculiar building—the Laboratory.

The existence of the [Laboratory] can help him upgrade the level of his troops, provided that the [Laboratory] level is appropriate and there is enough [Elixir].

As the unit's level increases, its skills and talents will naturally upgrade as well.

The second method is simpler and more direct.

practice!

Practice makes perfect!

If you're not good at it, practice more!

Make the soldiers practice their respective skills repeatedly. When their proficiency and experience reach a certain threshold, they will naturally be upgraded!

The best way to improve skill proficiency is through real-world practice!

Regular training at the camp can only provide a small amount of proficiency.

Otherwise, Twitch would have kept the mice in the camp long ago, putting them through a 996-style leveling-up training regimen!

I won't leave the village until I reach level 100!

As for the upgrade that just popped up, it's based on the second upgrade method.

Hmm... I'll have to make my monster neighbor suffer a bit more! That way my skills will level up faster!

Unfortunately, the skills for the Archer Rat and the Giant Soldier Rat have already been upgraded, while the Savage Soldier Rat is still a little short.

It's highly likely that the archer rat was hiding in the back row and stealing too many kills...

Meanwhile, under the double blow, almost all the burrowing ants in the anthill were killed.

Tucci looked down at the anthill, now riddled with holes, and calmly gave instructions:

"Five savage rats will work together to take on one guard ant! Wipe them all out!"

"As for the queen ant! I demand to see her dead, or I demand to see the ants alive!!"

With the other two types of minion soldiers ceasing their restraints, the Savage Mage finally had room to maneuver!

Among them, the savage rat Korgan was particularly excited, chasing and killing the burrowing ants in the ant nest!

[Slash LV2→LV3]

As the upgrade notification popped up on the panel again, a satisfied Twitch left the giant soldier rat's shoulder and led the five thief soldier rats into the ant nest.

With the help of their sense of smell and treasure hunting skills, the thief rats quickly found a hidden corner.

Hidden there is a huge underground chamber!

Upon receiving the signal, Twitch slowly walked to where the thief rat was located.

He stared down, head bowed.
