Chapter 531 Dungeon exploration (11)

Since we had arrived where the rats came from last time, it was time to be careful.

Instead of going forward on our own, we had the adventurers and mercenaries create a defensive line in front of us. But that was still far away from where the rats had appeared last time.

I had the zombies that I had created go forward instead to explore.

There were lights that were attached to them, so we could clearly see what was happening with them.

However, even as they moved forward, it didn't seem like anything was about to happen.

They just continued forward to where they had met the rats last time as if everything was normal.

Cecilia deeply knitted her brows seeing this and turned to me to give a look, as if she was saying that she wasn't lying about this.

I just gave a nod and patted her arm before giving her a look that said, "Just be patient."

I of course didn't doubt the information that she had brought back, but things were different now since it was a monster zombie that was moving forward instead of a human.

Would the rats attack another monster when they were all from the same dungeon?

That was unknown.

If need be, we might need to send someone down to provoke the rats into appearing.

Though that was an idea that I wasn't leaning towards.

I didn't want to sacrifice someone just to make the rats appear.

The slime that we sent down continued moving forward, going further than Cecilia's group had gone last time. However, there still wasn't a single rat that appeared even though it had gone that far.

I just patted her on the arm and said, "Don't worry, it just means that they weren't here. They were most likely wandering around and you ran into them by..."

Before I could finish, there was a slight tremble that came from under me.

I quickly turned back to look at the slime that was about to disappear out of view.

Seeing that they were coming, I looked at Cecilia and she looked at the ones that were holding our secret weapons.

They had been in a daze at first, but seeing that Cecilia was looking at them, they nodded to show that they were ready.

Cecilia gave a nod back before raising her hand.

However, she didn't let that hand drop as she watched the rats coming closer and closer.

Finally, the slime zombie reached the zone which we had dictated and suddenly stopped running.

It was as if it was looking for death with the way that it just stood there in the face of the impending wave of rats that were coming right at it.

It seemed like this slime zombie was only a moment from death.

That was until something suddenly rained down from above.

There were mushroom zombies that rained down on the black wave of rats.

As soon as these mushroom zombies landed, they exploded in a wave of spores that immediately covered the surrounding rats.

There were some that stopped, there were some that kept going.

The rats were in complete chaos once the mushroom zombies rained down on them as they didn't know what to do.

In the ensuing chaos, there were some rats that were even trampled by the wave that rushed forward. They were one mass, but that didn't mean that there weren't separate rats here.

The ones that were in the front of the wave couldn't resist the momentum that came from the ones in the back, so they were crushed under the weight of all of these rats that couldn't stop in time.

The ones that were covered in the spores were also quickly covered in mushrooms and dropped to the ground.

These rats weren't able to resist the spores of these mushroom zombies at all.

In no time at all, there was a large patch of rats that were eliminated around the slime zombie.

The rats that had managed to stop in time didn't dare move forward again.

It seemed that there was a stalemate that was drawn.
