Chapter 369: Battle with Long-armed Rat
Despite this, when several long-armed rats, unable to withstand the onslaught, fled and headed towards Liu Yan, he stepped forward without hesitation. He swiftly confronted the fleeing rats, brandishing his weapon with vigor and power, subduing and dispatching them one by one in an instant.
This shouldn’t be considered as stealing their Zerg!
Nangong Jingming led his team, like fearless warriors, through the territory of the long-armed rats, searching for their presence. They followed the trail of clues left by the long-armed rats, their resolute steps seeming to declare their determination to explore this mysterious region. Finally, they arrived at the long-armed rats' largest lair, where a unique aroma permeated the air, as if it were filled with the scent of the Zerg.
Looking out, I saw a dense swarm of long-armed rats moving about the den. A closer look revealed that the rats here were of a high level, the vast majority being level two. They were nimble and agile, their eyes revealing a hint of cunning. Deeper within, a dozen or so even larger level three long-armed rats, their presence heightening the tension within the den. The most striking of all was the level four long-armed rat at the center. Its enormous size emanated a powerful, oppressive aura, as if it were the undisputed king of this territory.
"Captain, this should be the most powerful lair of the long-armed rats." Chen Zeyu narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze fixed on the level 4 long-armed rat. His tone was solemn, yet also tinged with excitement. He knew that this would be an extremely challenging battle, but also a rare opportunity for training.
"Leave the level 4 ones to me. Big Brother, Second Brother, take a dozen or so of you and deal with the level 2 long-armed rats. Chen Zeyu, lead the rest of you to deal with the level 2 long-armed rats as well." Nangong Jingming made a quick decision, his tone firm and steady, resounding like a bell in everyone's ears. His eyes revealed a confidence and decisiveness, and he distributed tasks in an orderly manner. Every instruction was clear and specific, allowing the team members to instantly understand their respective responsibilities.
"Yes!" everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing throughout the room, brimming with fighting spirit and determination. They sprang into action, like well-trained soldiers, quickly finding their positions and concentrating on finding the correct direction of attack. In an instant, a fierce Long-Armed Rat Massacre officially began.
The team members, manipulating their mechas, laser cannons flashed dazzlingly, and energy guns blasted out fiery beams, engaged in a desperate battle with the long-armed rats. The long-armed rats, unwilling to be outdone, relied on their agility and superior numbers to frantically attack the team members. For a moment, the battlefield was filled with shouts of killing and the chirping of insects, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.
Nangong Jingming faced the Level 4 Long-Armed Rat alone, his eyes brimming with excitement and anticipation, not fear. He maneuvered his mech, deftly dodging the Rat's attacks while simultaneously searching for opportunities to strike back. After a fierce battle, he finally seized the Rat's weakness and brought it down in one fell swoop. The other team members also fought bravely in their respective battle zones. After half an hour of arduous action, they successfully eliminated all the Rat's.
After a day and night of fighting, their gains were considerable. Not only did they successfully eliminate a large number of long-armed rats, but they also collected many precious resources. Even the team that had been following them, picking up some of the escaped long-armed rats, also made a considerable profit.
"Captain, these long-armed rats shouldn't be eaten, right?" Chen Zeyu frowned slightly as he looked at the long-armed rat carcasses scattered across the ground. Confused, he couldn't help but ask Nangong Jingming. In his mind, long-armed rats were such bizarre-looking insects that it was hard to imagine them being eaten.
"I don't know yet, but I have plenty of space buttons, so I'm not worried about running out of space," Nangong Jingming said with a slight shrug. He believed that even if the carcasses of these long-armed rats weren't edible, they must have other important value, such as being used to study the characteristics of the Zerg or as materials for crafting certain special items. So he didn't want to give up these hard-earned "trophies" easily.
"Okay, Captain, let's dig for the crystal cores." The team members nodded in agreement, and then began an intense and orderly process of digging for the crystal cores. They carefully extracted the crystal cores from the long-armed rat's corpse. These crystal cores radiated a mysterious light and contained powerful energy. They were the crystallization of the Zerg's power and the key to their success in the assessment. The process of digging for the crystal cores required immense patience and meticulousness. Every team member was completely focused, not daring to slack off for even a moment.
By the time all the cores were collected and they could finally rest, it was already early morning. Golden sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting a shadow on the team members' exhausted yet fulfilled faces.
"Everyone worked so hard yesterday. Let's take a half-day break today before we set off again." Nangong Jingming looked at the exhausted team members, his heart filled with pain, and said softly. His voice was a hint of fatigue, but more of it was love and consideration for the team members. In his heart, the team members' physical and mental state was of paramount importance. Only with adequate rest could they better face the challenges ahead.
"Great! I can finally rest." Number Two jumped up excitedly, a happy smile on his face. After a day and night of fierce fighting, he was already exhausted. Now that he could finally rest well, he felt extremely satisfied.
Chen Zeyu sat aside, opened his smart brain, and prepared to check some information. Suddenly, his eyes widened and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Captain, the rankings are out." Chen Zeyu quickly stood up and walked over to Nangong Jingming in two steps, excitedly saying, his voice trembling slightly. He had been looking forward to this ranking for a long time and couldn't wait to know their team's position in the assessment.
"Oh, so where does our Earth team rank?" Nangong Jingming raised his head slightly, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes as he asked with concern. Although he was full of confidence, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous. After all, this ranking was related to their team's recent efforts and future development.
"I haven't looked at it in detail yet. I'll take a look right now." Chen Zeyu took a deep breath, trying to calm his excitement. Then he excitedly began to search from the back upwards. His fingers slid quickly across the screen, his eyes fixed on the screen, not missing a single detail.
"Why don't you start from the front?" Nangong Jingming frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes, and asked curiously. In his opinion, it would be easier to find his team's ranking by looking from the front to the back.
