Those who reincarnate must die.

The City of Radiance, the Sewers.

A giant centipede, using its sharp claws, gripped the hard stone wall of the sewer and lurked in the shadows.

From around the corner ahead, came a series of footsteps; there seemed to be seven people, one heavy and six light...

The giant centipede is just an ordinary insect monster, lacking intelligence and unable to judge the strength of its enemies. It only knows that anything that enters its territory is prey.

As the prey drew closer, the giant centipede began to gather its strength...

Finally, the prey appeared around the corner!

At the same time, the giant centipede mobilized all of its hundreds of legs, propelling its massive body forward at lightning speed!

"Bang!"

A slightly muffled but exceptionally powerful gunshot rang out. The giant centipede, which had charged halfway, twitched its head back, lost its balance, and fell to the ground with a thud, rolling into the sewage!

The sewage couldn't even reach its enormous body. You could clearly see a regular round hole on the centipede's head, which went straight through it. From the smooth edge, you could tell it was an extremely fast attack!

Although it was completely dead, the huge corpse still twitched a few times under the influence of its autonomic nervous system, splashing dirty water and causing Murong Lan, who had fired the shot, to take a few steps back.

"It fell into the water, what do we do?" the silver-haired female sniper asked with a look of disgust. "One of its fangs is worth at least twenty gold coins!"

"Let me do it!" Zhao Ying, who was standing to the side, threw a throwing knife, which landed right on the centipede's head. Then he raised his hand and clenched his fist. The throwing knife seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand, which actually pulled the heavy centipede's head up and brought it to his face.

At this moment, he took out a throwing knife, exerted force with his wrist, and inserted it into the root of the centipede's fangs. Finding the gap in the carapace, he removed the two fangs, which were as big as a human forearm, in a few quick movements!

"Hey, newbie, keep this!"

As he spoke, Zhao Ying tossed the two venomous fangs to Thunder. The towering power armor raised its massive left hand, deftly catching the two fangs. With a flick of its right hand, a circular portal opened, and the fangs were tossed inside.

Thunder was a newcomer who had just been promoted to Hero, and this was his first time doing a quest with others, so he didn't have much say in the team. But despite being a newcomer, he still demonstrated two impressive enhancements at the altar.

Firstly, there's this powerful power armor set; secondly, there's a space bracelet that can store a large number of items!

Space storage equipment is one of the most popular enhancements at the altar. Especially at the Hero level, many players carry several sword enhancements, but carrying them all is too cumbersome. Space storage equipment, while not directly increasing combat power, can solve many problems!

Unfortunately, spatial storage equipment is quite rare; given the altar's track record, they are all highly sought-after treasures. Even if someone manages to obtain one, they are unlikely to resell it, resulting in a scarcity on the market. Those who possess such treasures are rare even among Heroic-level characters.

Just as Lei Ting was putting things away, suddenly, several white worms darted out of the water next to the centipede's corpse and went straight for Zhao Ying, who was closest to him!

But just as these worms scurried halfway there, a golden sword beam swept across them, slicing them in half and sending them tumbling into the sewage with a clatter.

It was Olissis who made the move, and the longsword in his hand was also a rather formidable weapon.

"Thanks, Captain!" Zhao Ying waved the throwing knife in his hand, implying that he could have handled it even without Zhao Ying's intervention.

"We're teammates, we should help each other!" Olissis clearly didn't understand, and sincerely accepted Zhao Ying's thanks: "But don't call me captain anymore. I just reached Hero-level earlier than you guys. In terms of seniority, Mr. Mane Wolf is more experienced!"

"Tch..." Zhao Ying curled his lip, finding it boring.

Thunder, having finished collecting the venomous fangs, turned its mechanical head to look at the sewage: "Even worm heads can be sold for money!"

"Forget it!" Maned Wolf walked over. "One gold coin for each one... Let's use this time to take down the Rat Emperor as soon as possible." As he spoke, the most senior member looked at the bounty poster in his hand. "Turn around ahead, at the next intersection, you'll see the burrow. The Rat Emperor is down there."

"Let's go!" Olissis, still full of fighting spirit, took the lead. Angelica followed closely behind, and the others also formed a formation, leaving Thunder to bring up the rear, and headed towards the Rat Emperor's cave.

"Wait!" Just as they reached the corner, Maned Wolf suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone not to go any further: "I heard something unusual!"

As he spoke, the guy put his hand outside his ear, listening intently: "Lots of things, a lot of things, are waiting for us... Anyone have grenades? Throw two over!"

Black soldier Tuka took two high-explosive grenades from his tactical vest, pulled the pins, and threw them around the corner. A moment later, a loud bang was heard, accompanied by a tremor. A large amount of blood and bits of flesh splattered out, much of it still covered in gray hair!

"They're red-eyed rats!" Olissis frowned. "No wonder he's the Rat Emperor; so many rats are guarding the door!"

Without consulting anyone, he rushed in and, sure enough, saw hundreds of bloodshot eyes hiding in the darkness behind the pile of exploding flesh!

"Ugly monster, die!"

Olissis roared and swung his greatsword without a word. Golden sword light swept out, instantly killing a large number of Red-Eyed Rats! Angelica followed closely behind him, casting a shield and an Energizing spell on him, supporting him in the battle from behind!

"This guy..." The others couldn't help but shake their heads, but after all, they were teammates who had been working together. If something happened to these two, it wouldn't be good for future missions.

Just as the group was about to step forward to help, they suddenly heard a muffled thud. Olissis, clad in silver armor, was suddenly thrown out of the darkness and tumbled into the sewage with a splash...

"A powerful character?" The others were immediately startled and rushed over to see what was happening. A giant rat with half an ear missing was grabbing Angelica and biting her!

Good heavens, this giant rat was as big as a tiger, with its fur standing on end and two huge front teeth that looked like sharp daggers! If Angelica hadn't been wearing a shield, that bite would have killed her!

Even now, with each bite of the giant rat's teeth, Angelica's shield flickered violently, and she probably wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer!

Needless to say, this must be the Rat Emperor!!
