Rats!

Densely packed rats the size of adult cats crawled out of the caves.

Those rats’ eyes were bloodshot and revealed endless madness. They were very terrifying!

“Isn’t this too great a number?”

Ye Zhiyuan was so frightened that her face turned pale.

Before she entered this Mystic Realm Fragment, she had thought about what she would encounter next.

She had also considered the attack by countless rats.

However, the situation like what was before her of an entire mountain and countless caves with rats crawling out densely like ants,

had indeed exceeded her expectations.

“These guys are indeed different from the ones in the small Mystic Realm Fragment. They all know how to call for reinforcements… No, they all know how to call for rats!”

Lin Sen recalled the small Mystic Realm Fragment that he had cleared.

In the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment, the intelligence of those scarecrows and the rats in front of them were simply worlds apart!

When he was in the small Mystic Realm Fragment, he walked up to the scarecrows, they did not even know to attack him.

Even when he provoked the scarecrows, as long as he distanced himself from them, they would lose their hatred.

After that, even if Lin Sen approached the scarecrow that he had provoked previously, the scarecrow would not take the initiative to attack Lin Sen as if he was a stranger.

However, the monsters inside the large Mystic Realm Fragment were indeed very different from the small Mystic Realm Fragment!

“Lin Sen, retreat! I’ll cover you!”

Ye Zhiyuan commanded the Wind Falcon to fly to the front. The strong wind and waves blew away many rats.

However, more and more rats ran out of the cave.

They chirped noisily.

Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan felt their heads buzzing.

Suddenly, the Wind Falcon let out a loud cry.

It turned out that a rat had jumped up and bitten the Wind Falcon’s wing.

At this moment, the Wind Falcon was flying in the air unsteadily, as if it was afraid of those rats!

“Oh no…”

Ye Zhiyuan did not expect that the Wind Falcon would be bitten by a rat while flying in the air.

This situation was not in her strategic plan at all.

With the Wind Falcon’s injury, Ye Zhiyuan’s plan was disrupted. She was momentarily at a loss.

Ji, Ji!

Countless berserk rats gathered.

They did not pounce on Ye Zhiyuan immediately. Instead, they surrounded her first.

It was as if they would pounce on their prey together when they had the advantage in numbers.

There were more and more.

In a few breaths, Ye Zhiyuan was surrounded by a tall rat wall.

The rats piled together and formed a two-meter-tall rat wall.

Ji!

As if a certain rat had given an order, the rat wall instantly collapsed.

Countless rats pounced on Ye Zhiyuan.

“It’s over. I am actually going to die here!”

“As expected of the most difficult large Mystic Realm Fragment…”

“I was… careless…”

Facing the countless rats that pounced on her, Ye Zhiyuan seemed to have given up struggling.

She closed her eyes and quietly waited for death.

But at this moment, Ye Zhiyuan felt something appear under her feet.

Then, something seemed to wrap around her and lift her up.

Three seconds later, Ye Zhiyuan did not feel the pain of being bitten by a rat.

She braced herself and opened her eyes.

The scene in front of her stunned her.

At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan was lifted up by a vine. The dense rats below were either gnawing on the roots of the vine or piling up to form a rat wall to attack Ye Zhiyuan.

“This vine… Lin Sen, is this your plant?”

Ye Zhiyuan looked into the distance. Lin Sen, who was in the distance, was also lifted up by the vines like her.

While Ye Zhiyuan was shocked, the cry of a Wind Falcon came from the horizon.

The Wind Falcon, who had been traumatized by the rats due to its injury, did not dare to rush down to save Ye Zhiyuan.

However, at this moment, Ye Zhiyuan was lifted up high by the vines. Seeing that there were no rats below that could reach it, it flew down and grabbed Ye Zhiyuan away from the rat tide below.

“Lin Sen…”

“Thanks!”

Ye Zhiyuan was caught in the air by the Wind Falcon. There were countless words in her heart that she wanted to say, but when the thousands of words reached her mouth, they turned into a thank you.

On the ground, Lin Sen was supported by the vines. The rats below were constantly piling up, getting higher and higher. Sooner or later, they would crawl along the vines to reach Lin Sen.

Ye Zhiyuan could also see that Lin Sen was in a very dangerous situation.

She said, “Hold on!”

“I’ll get the Wind Falcon to save you later!”

Ye Zhiyuan looked at the sky above the canyon. She planned to let the Wind Falcon send her to the top of the canyon where the rats could not reach.

Then, she would ask the Wind Falcon to enter the canyon and bring Lin Sen over.

However, before Ye Zhiyuan could order the Wind Falcon to take her away, something happened below that overturned her worldview.

The vines on the ground were growing at a terrifying speed.

Vines spread out, densely packed, as dense as the rat tide.

In a few breaths, countless vines covered the ground and bound the rats on the ground.

“What… what kind of plant is this?”

“Isn’t that too scary?”

Ye Zhiyuan gradually realized that it was not that simple for Lin Sen to be appreciated by Elder Zhao and Elder Hua.

A few seconds later, the rats on the ground that were bound by the vines gradually shriveled and turned into dried carcasses.

“These vines are too evil!”

“Not only does it have such a terrifying growth speed, but it can also extract the life force of rats!”

“How… terrifying…”

The way Ye Zhiyuan looked at Lin Sen gradually changed.

Perhaps, the friend she thought she knew well enough, her understanding of him was only the tip of the iceberg!

On the ground, as the rats struggled, they turned into dried carcasses, one after another.

There were only a few minutes left.

The rats that had been chasing after the two of them had all turned into dried carcasses!

Seeing that the crisis seemed to have been resolved, Ye Zhiyuan asked the Wind Falcon to send her to the ground.

Ye Zhiyuan accidentally stepped on a vine and was greatly frightened.

She was afraid that she would be entangled by the vines like those rats and become a dried corpse.

Fortunately, those vines were controlled by Lin Sen. After Ye Zhiyuan accidentally stepped on the vines, the vines took the initiative to make way for Ye Zhiyuan.

Just as Ye Zhiyuan thought that the situation had improved, the ground began to tremble again!

It was different from the tremor just now.

The tremor just now was caused by countless cries, causing the ground to shake.

This time, the tremor came from the mountain in front of them.

The mountain began to shake, as if a stone giant was about to stand up!
