When you encounter a weasel on the road asking for a title, appoint it as the Jade Emperor.

Zhang Chuyu also noticed the end of the passage not far away.

There seemed to be a noise.

Judging from these sounds alone, there are quite a few.

"Let's go take a look."

Zhang Chuyu dissipated the golden light and concealed her figure.

This time.

They only went a hundred meters forward.

Another huge cave was faintly visible ahead.

This cave is about the size of half a football field.

It was like a prison cell inside.

It was secured with iron locks.

Judging from the traces, it was definitely used to imprison living creatures before.

But now it's completely empty.

Only giant rat demons were entrenched in various parts of the cave.

They sat cross-legged.

It seems they are practicing spiritual cultivation.

Only the two giant rats in the very center were lying there.

These two giant rats are the largest.

It's big enough for a typical wolfhound.

It should be the leader among these rat demons.

They are having a casual conversation right now.

"We've finally gathered 99 living people... Once the Great King consumes the essence and blood of these living people and takes another step forward to become a Demon Emperor, we will also be able to rise with him and enter an even stronger realm..."

"Then we won't have to stay underground anymore, and we can experience the life of those two-legged sheep."

A rat demon revealed a human-like greed.

"Yes, after hiding for so long... now that the guy under the Dragon Locking Well has left... it's time to hand over these human cities to us."

"Those living people's blood food... I swallowed a bite before, and it still makes my mouth water."

The other rat demon was drooling.

It seems they are truly reminiscing.

"These beasts!!"

I overheard these conversations.

Xu Yun's face turned cold.

99 living people...

This is far more than she knew of the number of missing persons.

This doesn't even include the rat demons who killed others before.

"who!??"

Xu Yun finished speaking.

This immediately alerted the two giant rats inside the cave.

Their perception is extremely keen.

Two eyes the size of mung beans.

It fell on Zhang Chuyu and Xu Yun.

"A living person..."

"A cultivator!?"

That sound.

The rat demons who were cultivating also opened their blood-red eyes.

They all turned to look at the two of them.

In an instant, a terrifying demonic aura began to permeate the entire cave.

"Daring to go underground... they really don't know what they're getting themselves into!"

"Perfect timing, it's been a while since we've had any meat! Men, bring them here!!"

With a screech from the giant rat in the center.

Instantly.

The other rat demons moved instantly.

"squeak--"

The piercing screams echoed continuously within the cave.

next moment.

All the rat demons pounced on Zhang Chuyu and his companion in unison.

Zhang Chuyu raised an eyebrow.

"act recklessly."

No one could possibly feel any pity for these rat demons.

Zhang Chuyu pointed her fingertip at the void.

In an instant.

Above the void, endless golden threads condensed into a talisman.

The max-level Tongtian Talisman is used.

Forty-nine talismans were formed in the blink of an eye.

"go!"

Zhang Chuyu waved again.

All the talismans instantly emitted a buzzing sound.

He fired at the onrushing rat demons.

The talisman exudes a terrifying killing intent.

They were captured by the rat demons almost immediately.

Zhang Chuyu's cultivation level was simply beyond their ability to withstand.

The rat demons' faces showed terror.

But there's still no response.

The talisman has arrived.

Boom—Boom—

A series of explosions rang out.

Under a wave of attacks.

The rat demons that were just now densely packed have been wiped out.

"Host has killed 41 Rat Demons, gaining 15500 Merit Points!"

A system notification sound appeared in Zhang Chuyu's mind.

Zhang Chuyu ignored it.

His figure flashed by.

The golden light in his hand transformed into two long whips.

He lashed out at the two giant rats that were trying to escape.

bump!!

The two rat demons let out a mournful scream.

It was directly blasted apart by the golden light.

"Host has killed a peak C-rank rat demon and gained 1100 merits."

A peak-level C-rank rat demon?

This is comparable to the Spirit Sea!

I never expected that these monsters under the Rat King would have reached this level.

and...

Just now, those two monsters said that the Rat King wanted to use the power of devouring those living people.

Stepping into the realm of the Demon Emperor.

This mouse... it's really something else!

To cultivate oneself to this level without making a sound.

It is stronger than many high-level demons.

"Celestial Master".

Beside Zhang Chuyu.

Xu Yun's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"This is terrible!! I've detected a massive amount of life force rapidly approaching us!!"

"No! It's not facing us, it's facing another direction!"

Xu Yun's expression was extremely ugly!

A few seconds after she finished speaking.

Rumbling--

The ground began to tremble slightly.

Then, the trembling sound grew louder and louder.

In the end, it even caused something like an earthquake underground.

squeak-

It was impossible to tell where the sound was coming from.

There were rats squeaking everywhere!

Zhang Chuyu sensed this terrifying commotion.

His expression also became more serious.

"It's just ordinary rats that have entered this burrow; it seems to be the summons of the Rat King!"

"Let's go take a look first."

He didn't know why the Rat King had summoned ordinary rats.

Judging from the passageways in this crypt, ordinary rats should be kept away from this place.

Now, such a massive rat infestation.

Something truly extraordinary has happened.

Xu Yun nodded vigorously.

The two followed the direction of the tremor.

......

Inside the underground passage.

As we delve deeper...

Zhang Chuyu and Xu Yun could both feel a surge of demonic energy sweeping towards them.

This demonic aura also carried a strong aura of bloodlust.

The vibrations around me continued.

It lasted for a full ten minutes.

Only then did it completely disappear.

Zhang Chuyu finally reached the end of the passage.

He looked towards the end of the road.

His pupils contracted slightly.

There it was.

A massive cavern, more than ten times larger than the previous one, has appeared!

Inside that cave.

A castle resembling an ancient imperial city rose from the ground!

In that city.

Countless red-eyed mice were lined up there in a dense, orderly fashion!

At first glance, it stretches to the horizon!

Hundreds of thousands!

It could even be millions!

countless.

But there's still no movement!

Even the cries have disappeared.

These red-eyed mice stood there obediently, one by one.

Head hanging down.

Kneel down and worship that castle!

And around that castle.

Then a ring of rat demons appeared, significantly larger than those red-eyed giant rats!

They all stood there respectfully.

Inside the castle.

There were also many figures, all of whom had already fallen into a coma.

At first glance.

At least a hundred!
