Magic: Reincarnate from high-voltage electricity at the start, level up independently.

Chu Ge followed the trail for more than ten minutes, gradually venturing deeper into the area. The surrounding weeds were already knee-high, and occasionally, he could see the droppings of other demonic beasts.

Suddenly, she sensed something, stopped walking, and slowly turned around—

A rat appeared in front of me, as big as an adult domestic pig, weighing over 300 pounds.

Its eyes were blood red, and its teeth were sharp and pointed; it was staring at me greedily.

"Giant Gorilla-Eyed Rat..."

Chu Ge read it softly. This was the official scientific name given to this mutated giant rat, which was also the most common type of monster that had appeared so far, and it had always lived in groups.

It can be considered a successful opening.

However, the giant ape-eyed rat in front of her was very weak, and she would not bother to take action if she did not need the crystal core in its body.

So Chu Ge gave it a chance: "You are no match for me. Call all your companions over, the more the better." This way, she wouldn't have to go looking for them one by one.

The giant ape-eyed rat was highly intelligent; at least it could understand human speech. It stared at Chu Ge: the human female before it looked weak, full of openings, and could be torn apart with a single claw.

But the moment it had that thought and prepared to attack, its biological instincts immediately kicked in and told it:

I'll die! I'll definitely die!

"Squeak squeak squeak—" It began to back away, reaching what it considered a safe distance, while opening its mouth and emitting a piercing, rhythmic squeak, calling for its companions to come over.

It stared at Chu Ge, a cold glint flashing in its red eyes: Human female, although you may be very strong, if I summon all my companions, I may be able to wear you down until you are exhausted and kill you.

The cries continued, and soon Chu Ge felt tremors coming from all directions, even from underground.

This number suggests there are at least ten of them. But for Chu Ge, that's still a bit too few.

She frowned and said, "Haven't you eaten? Speak up, call them all over here."

The giant rat with gorilla eyes chose to accept Chu Ge's provocation.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

Its sound became sharper and traveled farther.

Soon, accompanied by an even more rapid and intense roar, Chu Ge finally saw the second, third... thirtieth giant rat with scaly eyes. The largest of them weighed up to 500 pounds.

"Looks like everyone's here."

A flame appeared in Chu Ge's mouth, and he said coldly, "I am Xiao Yan, the white-haired boy from Donghai Magic High School. Are you going to take turns attacking me, or will you all come at me at once?"

"Squeak squeak squeak".

A small, giant rat with skeletal eyes emerged from the swarm. As the chief's son, it was expected to teach this human a lesson in cruelty.

It stared at the tiny flame, smaller than its eye, a cold glint flashing in its pupils, and suddenly charged.

My father said that the human body is more fragile than bamboo; if you get close, he can tear you apart with a single claw!

"this……"

Chu Ge was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that among a group of rats weighing four or five hundred pounds, one weighing more than two hundred pounds would stand out first, and there was no fear in its eyes.

"very good."

Chu Ge narrowed his eyes slightly, admitting that he had underestimated these rats; they were not entirely useless.

Her fighting spirit rose, she withdrew the flames from her hand, and looked seriously at the charging giant rat:

"The brave weak shine brighter than the cowardly strong."

"I admire you, and as a sign of respect, I will fight you with my strongest will!"

Chu Ge closed his eyes, his body sank slightly, and all his muscles tensed.

In an instant!

Her aura rose rapidly to a terrifying level, bending the surrounding weeds under her weight.

The sound slowly drifted over.

"I attained sainthood through physical cultivation; even the strongest mage in the world must bow down to me."

"You admirable rat, I'll fight you with my strongest body!"

Chu Ge suddenly opened his eyes, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the warrior rat.

She raised her slender, pale fingers, stirring the surrounding air, then slammed them down with a loud shout:

"Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Palm!"

"Squeak squeak squeak!!!"

This sudden and terrifying power terrified the warrior rat, causing it to freeze on the spot.

It could do nothing but watch helplessly as the palm gradually enlarged in its pupils.

Will I die?! Will I die?!

Faced with death, the warrior mouse recalled the afternoon when its chieftain father took it to a human village for a buffet:

They were a bunch of fragile creatures; it picked them off one by one with its claws, its ears filled with their screams and cries, its eyes watching them struggle and flee. It felt like a supreme god.

Finally, a group known as the Demon Hunters arrived, wielding iron contraptions that made "bang bang bang" sounds, and drove them away.

Although they were defeated in that battle, it further confirmed the chieftain's words—the human body is indeed very fragile.

But what about now...?

What's wrong with this guy?

Her palms seemed harder than steel, moving so fast they were invisible, and her breath made it hard for the creature to breathe.

Father, didn't you say that the human body is very fragile?

Father, didn't you say that humans are most afraid of getting close?

Father, didn't you say... Sigh, never mind.

If I had known I would die, I wouldn't have stood up.

Father, you have ruined me!

"Bang--!"

With a single palm strike, blood splattered across the sky, falling like raindrops, bringing the tale of a rat to an end.

"Pat-pat-pat".

Blood splattered on the faces of those giant, ape-eyed rats, whose eyes widened and they froze, motionless.

They couldn't believe their companion was dead, killed with a single slap. So utterly annihilated.

Seeing them stunned with fear, Chu Ge sighed softly, looking disappointed and his eyes turned cold.

The rest are all cowards, and there's no need to respect them.

Flames erupted from Chu Ge's palms, growing larger and hotter, as if the air itself was being scorched.

She condensed the two flames together, transforming them into a terrifying fire lotus with a diameter of over five meters, which hovered above her head.

The largest, ape-eyed giant rat, realizing what was happening, and as the leader, squeaked at the other rats.

Children, oh no! There's a trap! Run!

The other rats immediately realized what was happening and scattered, their trampling causing the ground to tremble.

A curious mouse turned around and glanced back... and then got its face pressed against a fire lotus.

"boom--!"

A huge crater was blasted out with the fire lotus as the center and a radius of ten meters.

A terrifying shockwave swept through, and all the rats that hadn't had time to escape, or hadn't run far, perished within it.

As the first mouse to react, the chief mouse had already run more than a hundred meters away, narrowly escaping death.

It turned back and looked at the corpses of its people who had been blown into the sky and scattered everywhere. Overwhelmed with grief, it shed two lines of bloody tears.

Children, the clan leader will avenge you one day!

It squeaked a few times in frustration, then its legs moved even faster.

It could only run two steps before it became unable to move.

Looking down, I felt a strange, icy sensation on my legs, which was rapidly spreading upwards.

The cold pierced its bones, and it began to struggle frantically, squeaking and squeaking, but it couldn't break free no matter what it did.

The ice spread to its neck, its consciousness becoming increasingly blurred by the cold, its eyes filled with resentment, yet powerless to do anything about it.

Children, the clan chief has come to see you.

The chief rat was completely frozen, and then exploded into powder with a "bang".

Frost fluttered down, shimmering in the setting sun, and a white crystal core fell to the ground.

Chu Ge walked over, picked up the white crystal core, and put it directly into his mouth.

The crystal core melted in her mouth, becoming pure magic that flowed into her spiritual world, contributing to the condensation of the magic core.

She turned around, and what she saw was:

Some mice were hanging on trees; some were lying on the ground; and some were reduced to mere crystal nuclei.

After counting, not a single one of the thirty giant rats with gorilla eyes had escaped.

The most enjoyable part was dealing with the aftermath. Chu Ge transformed into a little girl picking up crystal cores, stuffing them into her mouth as she picked them up. In the end, there were just too many for her to eat, and she stood there in a daze, puffing out her cheeks like a hamster.

After absorbing all thirty crystal cores, Chu Ge now has seventeen magic cores in his spiritual world.

"Drugs still work faster."

Chu Ge looked up and saw that the sun was setting, leaving only half of its outline visible.

But having tasted success, she wasn't planning to leave yet. She wanted to see if she could increase the number of magic cores to twenty tonight.

She stepped forward and walked deeper into the area...
