Chapter Fifty-Nine: War!

With the flicking of his limbs, Ron quickly approached the migrating rat colony, catching up with the rat colony as he approached the exit. However, to Ron's surprise, the colony of moonlight rats did not disperse into the vast space of the cave, but instead clustered in a small area at the exit of the tunnel.

"Squeak!"

What are you standing here for?

There's a lot of space in there!

Puzzled, Ron chirped as he squeezed through the rats to the front. Immediately, he understood why the rat colony had stagnated.

Behind the fungus field, one left and one right leaning on the wall of the cave insect castle flickering with the same fluorescence, in the dozens of passages above, there are constantly white beetles crawling out of it, arranging in a neat array behind the fungus field.

Within days of Ron's departure from the cave, the swarm had once again taken over the cave and built an even larger war fortress!

"Squeak!"

All on alert!

Scarface, come back, that's the enemy!

The higher-ups of the Moonlight Rats were all standing in front of them, and even Scarface had already moved forward to the fungus field, stretching out his claws to touch and explore the reality of these beetles living in the cave.

But just as its front paws were about to touch the back shell of a beetle that was busy in the mushroom field, the beetle suddenly tilted its chelicera upwards and launched a lightning-fast shear blow at Scarface's front paws!

"Click!"

Compared with the cutting speed of the beetle's chelicera, Scarface's movement of retracting his front paws was a little sluggish, and seeing that he couldn't dodge, Scarface's fiery red eyes suddenly narrowed, and then the other front paw stretched out, but it was grabbing the beetle's back shell!

Chirping!

Since I can't keep this front paw, what else can I dodge, I might as well kill you with another claw!

Rise to the top in the face of difficulties, do not retreat or retreat!

This is Scarface's personality, and it is also the reason why Scarface was able to become the leader of the group, and even faintly dominate the small group of four group leaders!

"Whoosh!"

Faster than the beetle to cut, though, is Ron's crossbow arrow!

In the loud roar of the crossbow arrow piercing the air, a crossbow arrow instantly appeared and passed through Scarface's armpit, and directly hit the belly of the beetle that raised its chelicera to cut off Scarface's front paws.

............

"Click!"

However, although the beetle was killed by the crossbow arrow, the clashing of the chelicerae still made a crisp sound.

So, after this sound of chelicerae impacting, whether it was the beetles lined up in a neat array behind the fungus field, or the beetles busy in the fungus field, they all seemed to have received an order, and the beetles in the fungus field immediately returned to the insect castle with the freshly harvested mushrooms, and the beetles arranged in the array began to move neatly and slowly began to crawl slowly unhurriedly, and at the same time rhythmically opened and closed the chelicerae of the head.

"Squeak!"

Scarface is coming back!

Normal moonlight rats enter the tunnel!

Moonlight Rat Guards and Moonlight Rat High-Rises are at the forefront!

Obviously, compared to the last time, the swarm has a new tactic, they have absorbed the lessons of the last time, and instead of breeding more powerful and resource-intensive armored beetles, they have chosen to combine the fungus-growing beetles with the armored giant beetles to give birth to combat beetles that are smaller, more numerous, and consume less resources!

"Squeak!"

Damn, what kind of bug is this!

Although he is not afraid of death in battle, when life and front paws still belong to him, Scarface also knows how to cherish it.

It immediately turned its head and returned to the pack as fast as it could, while Ron stepped forward, standing at the front of the pack and raising his crossbow.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

Every three seconds, Ron's hand crossbow will fire a deadly crossbow arrow, killing one of the beetles in the advancing beetle array, but for some unknown reason or other reasons, each beetle will be immediately thrown out of the battle formation by the beetle behind it, and then the beetle behind will speed up the pace and fill the gap.

"Squeak!"

What a neat battle formation!

If only there were more crossbow arrows!

In Ron's memory, there were times in the world's wars, where knights in armor and armor rushed at the enemy in a neat formation, only to be killed by merciless arrows and finally annihilated.

However, unlike Ron, the other moonlight rats only had one crossbow, so Ron had to give another order.

"Squeak!"

Longbeard, let the rats dig up the dirt inside, we need a barrier!

"Squeak!"

Got it!

The beard immediately snapped and turned around and burrowed into the tunnel, followed by a continuous chirp mixed with the sound of rats digging into the dirt.

As Ron did last time, the tunnel was at its narrowest at the exit of the Moonlight Rat Territory warehouse, and as it got closer to the underground cavern, the tunnel expanded to the point where dozens of Ron could pass through it at the same time.

That's why the tunnel can accommodate thousands of elites of the Moonlight Rats, and the collapse caused by the last Armored Giant Worm gave Ron a greater advantage over the swarm's sniping. Because, the collapsed part just covered the huge hole, leaving only a cave about the size of two moonlight rats, which directly caused Ron to be in a state where he was locked up and could not be opened!

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Although the tunnel could accommodate the rats, it was also very crowded, and Ron tried to pluck the crossbow strings and shoot deadly bolts, but the number of insect swarms seemed to be endless, and as they kept getting closer, Ron's front paws began to sour and numb!

"Squeak!"

Chief, go and rest!

The black mist swelled, and the shadow suddenly appeared in front of Ron, along with the weapon she had already held in her claws: a human dagger, a moonlight mouse's machete!

"Hey squeak!"

The swarm was close enough that the shearing chelicera had reached into the exit of the tunnel that only allowed two rats, and then, the shadows moved!

There seemed to be a hurricane blowing in the darkness without light, and the shadow in Ron's eyes turned into a scarlet storm that blew out of the tunnel and into the swarm, and immediately countless beetle stumps and transparent body fluids splashed, and even the beetle's hard back shell and chelicera were chopped up, sharply piercing into the soft body of the beetle, causing even more damage!

However, the whirlwind comes and goes fast!

In only half a minute, the hurricane transformed by the shadow and her weapons disappeared, but this half-minute killing was comparable to the sum of the previous Ron shots, and the neatly arranged swarm disappeared by a third, and the follow-up beetles didn't even have time to fill the gap in the formation.

But this kind of battle is also very draining on the Shadow, and at this moment the Shadow is gasping for breath in front of Ron with his weapon, and the sweat is already soaking the hair all over his body.

But!

Ron's front paws are still sore!
