Those rats saw the zombie dog as a full meal which had brought itself to them. How could they possibly let it go?
So, they charged at the zombie dog like a flood, startling the dog and making it hop. Fire escaped the dog's mouth from time to time, which would kill a giant number of rats every time.
However, more and more rats had been rushing out of the woods.
Lin Qiao silently prayed for the zombie dog, then turned invisible and jumped off the tree.
She started to pick relatively larger rats in the outer circle and catch them before throwing them into the woods in her space.
She was able to sense the location of the snake in her space, so she directly threw those rats toward the snake.
The king cobra which was coiling on a tree asleep suddenly heard a series of squeaks. That familiar noise immediately woke it up.
Once the snake raised its head, a giant rat fell from the sky and landed on its head.
Squeak! A corgi-sized rat fell on the snake's head and then rolled to the ground. Once it landed on the ground, it nimbly sprung up and ran.
The king cobra was dizzied when the rat fell on its head, but still, its instinct allowed it to react fast. Seeing something running, it swiftly darted out and caught up with it.
As its body uncoiled from the tree, it finally woke up fully. Its eyes glowed when it found that it was a giant rat running in front of it.
Earlier on, the zombie dog had fed the snake with some rats. It didn't eat its full at that time, but at least regained some energy and strength. Thus, it only took the snake a couple of seconds to catch that rat like a black gust of wind.
Squeak! The desperately running rat was bitten in the snake's mouth, and the got swallowed quickly.
Some people said that snakes ate slowly. However, the king cobra in Lin Qiao's space swallowed the rat which was even larger than its head in just a few seconds. All it needed to do was to widely open its jaws.
Once the snake finished the first rat, it saw another rat fall from the sky, darting about in the space.
Without hesitation, it darted at the second rat.
While throwing large rats into the space to feed the snake, Lin Qiao watched the zombie dog hop around and release fire to burn those rats.
Gradually, some vibes which belonged to powerful mutated beasts emerged from the surrounding area, maybe because of the noises made by those rats. The ones that arrived the fastest were the boa and the crocodile which were fighting not long ago.
They were not far away from this woods area, so they suddenly heard noises from this place while fighting and immediately made a truce. The battle was not going to end any time soon anyway, so they decided to check on their hunting ground first.
The owners of other vibes only watched from the distance without approaching the woods, because that area had been occupied by the boa and the crocodile. If they approached, the two owners of this place would warn, or even attack them.
The animals which lived in this area all knew that the boa and the crocodile were neighbors, and they fought pretty often.
Lin Qiao threw a rat which weighed about eight kilograms into her space, then hopped onto a tree nearby.
After that, she saw the boa and the crocodile crawling toward the woods one after another; the giant crocodile was surely leading the team. The boa followed behind it, attempting to bite its wagging tail from time to time, but always failing.
Those two came to the woods and immediately spotted the zombie dog which was hopping around and burning those rats restlessly.
As the dog kept its fire at the perfect amount which was just enough to kill those rats, Lin Qiao didn't interfere with its battle. Those rats which were set on fire rolled on the ground and brought the fire into the grass. However, the fire soon died without burning much of it.
Seeing another creature intrude their territory and hurt their preys, the boa and the crocodile were immediately infuriated, and quickly rushed at the zombie dog.
Sensing the scents of the boa and the crocodile which were natural predators, the rats which were rushing out of the woods suddenly stopped. They paused for a few seconds, then all turned and ran backward.
Lin Qiao caught a few more rats and threw them into her space, then watched the frightened ones run. Next, she showed her face and called the zombie dog's name.
"Bowwow, come back! You can't win against those two."
"Owo!" The zombie dog was aware that both the boa and the crocodile which were coming at it were stronger than itself many times over. Mutated beasts didn't have superpowers, but both their bodies and strengths had been improved by largely.
Bowwow was no match for the tens of meters long boa, which was way stronger than the king cobra in Lin Qiao's space. Moreover, the crocodile was even stronger. As those two charged at the dog together, the dog figured that it should just run.
Those rats feared nothing else but that boa, because it was huge, and also their natural enemy. The boa had strong scales, so even if it lay on the ground and let those rats bite it, those rats wouldn't possibly be able to cause it any harm.
Therefore, the moment the boa showed up, those rats turned and ran.
Lin Qiao flashed to the zombie dog's side and dragged it into her space. Next, the two of them showed up in the woods in her space and saw the king cobra, which already had its stomach full. Lin Qiao glanced at the bucket on the ground and found it to be empty.
She refilled the bucket with lake water and then put it before the snake.
The black king cobra was stuffed at the moment. Its stomach was full of rats and bulging, making it look like a pregnant snake.
It lazily lay on the ground. No matter how vigilant it was against Lin Qiao and the zombie dog, it was too lazy to move at the moment!
Lin Qiao put the water before the snake, then waved a hand to drive the zombie dog away, "Go away! It's on a full stomach right now. Don't chase it, or it might throw up."
"Ow?" 'Why would it throw up?'
Bowwow didn't understand. The food was already in its stomach. Could it come back out easily?
Lin Qiao said, "If you chase it right after it had a full meal, it'll feel sick."
Hence, Bowwow had no choice but to walk out of the woods with confusion.
After that, Lin Qiao glanced at the snake which had coiled its body into a tiny black hill, then flashed out of her space.
Once she was out, she heard a howl from a baby tiger.
Owooo…
Lin Qiao paused in shock.
Eh? Where was the tiger from?
She thought for a second and then realized that she was in a zoo. There must be tigers, probably Siberian tigers.
It sounded like a baby tiger. Did an adult tiger bring its cubs here to hunt rats as well?
