Chapter 7: Rat King Challenge 3
"Squeak!"
Do you really think so?
With a cold sarcasm, Ron's chirp finally penetrated his throat this time, burrowing into the ears of Iron Fang and the other Moonlight Rat higher-ups, and at the same time shaking Iron Fang's already fluctuating confidence.
It did feel the strength in its body begin to fade, and while it was still much stronger than its usual strength, it was noticeably weaker than when it had drunk the Twisted Bull Head Elixir before the Leader's challenge.
Moreover, the opponent he originally thought could be easily won, he didn't know what technique he used, not only did he only exert more than half of the strength of his whole body, but he also used a strength that was obviously smaller than his own to stalemate with himself until now!
"Squeak!"
Temptation fails!
With a dull cry, Iron Fang stopped tempting and persuaded Ron, and he took advantage of his strength to unleash a series of attacks, while the claws kept slicing across Ron's back, and the hair was scattered, and Ron's back was immediately scarred.
But feeling the pain in his back, Ron's heart became clearer and more joyful.
According to the Moonlight Rat Leader's memory, Iron Fang was a rather silent leader of the Moonlight Rat group, upright and obtuse, and if even he began to try to use other methods besides strength, then it is safe to say that he was starting to lose confidence!
And as time passed, Ron could clearly feel that the power of the iron fangs was weakening, and even his body began to shrink, and even a few sharp claws did not cut through Ron's skin!
"Squeak!"
Wait!
Wait!
Feeling the power of the Iron Fang weakening bit by bit, Ron calmed down and waited patiently, waiting for the moment when he could confront the Iron Fang head-on, and he even reduced the output of his body's strength while the strength of the Iron Fang weakened, and instead stored this part of the power that was not used for the time being, waiting for the right time.
And this timing didn't make Ron wait long.
"Squeak!"
Fly for me!
When he felt that the power of the Iron Fang was finally only a line greater than his own, a silver light immediately flashed in Ron's eyes!
Turn around, flick your tail, twist your hips, grab your arms, shoulder your shoulders, and exert your strength!
The power that had been accumulated for a long time together with Ron's own power exploded, instantly exceeding the power that Iron Fang now has, and then Ron quickly turned around and added this power to Iron Fang's own power, so a swarthy body involuntarily flew up from behind Ron, rolled in the air in a chain, and finally turned into a state facing the moon and facing the earth with his back!
"Boom!"
Cutting a graceful arc through the air, the iron fangs slammed down on the hard stone pavement that the rat tide had moved out of the way below, and it squirmed to get back up, but the impact and damage of the fall made it unable to complete the following movements.
Victory and defeat are reversed in an instant!
Standing at the five vertices of the pentagram under the oak barrel, Scarface, Long Tail, and Fat Man were the three moonlight rat leaders, their mouths wide open, and the chirp of cheering was still in the air, but the follow-up sound was no longer able to be made.
In their plan, they also considered the possibility of Iron Fang's failure, after all, the current leader of the moonlight rat, Huang Mao, has also experienced the gift of the ring moonlight, and has the intelligence and strength that will not change greatly with the waxing of the moon.
In order to minimize this possibility, the four Moonlight Rat Pack Owners risked their lives and instructed their men to steal a bottle of potion with a twisted bull's head from the alchemy shop in the Vorgold Arcade in the market district.
Although they didn't know the name of the potion, the four Moonlight Rat Group Leaders saw with their own eyes that the thin young man who had drunk the potion lifted the heavy stone lock that he couldn't lift and displayed it around the scene.
In fact, the effect of this potion is quite good, as evidenced by Iron Fang's complete suppression of Ron at the beginning, if it was not Ron who now controls the body of the leader of the moonlight rat, but the original yellow hair, perhaps Iron Fang would have won a long time ago and become the new leader of the moonlight rat in Askatra.
But alas, Iron Fang met Ron, who was reborn from another world and occupied Yellowhair's body, and possessed knowledge that Yellowhair, the leader of the moonlight rats in this world, did not have.
Using the knowledge of physics to successfully resist the impact of Iron Fang, and using the knowledge of biology to successfully weaken the explosive power of Iron Fang, Ron stubbornly persevered until the moment when the effect of the abstract bull head potion was lost, and then successfully defended his title in one go!
"Squeak!"
The boss challenge is over, the challenger is defeated, and Yellow Fur continues to serve as the leader of the group!
The one-eyed and one-eared recorders of the plan did not have the complex mental activity of the four moonlight rat owners, they did not enjoy the gift of the ring moonlight, and only had the intelligence to carry out their duties during the full moon.
So at this moment, they announced the result of the leader's challenge with a high-pitched chirp that resounded throughout the rat tide.
"Squeak!"
Moonlight rats, take action!
Breathing violently, the heat that had filled his body from the fierce battle was dissipated with the exchange of air in his lungs, Ron let out a scream and gave the command as the leader.
This time, the rat tide moved to the sound and re-formed into four rivers, following the plan that Ron had recorded after consulting with the four moonlight rat owners last full moon, and rushed towards their respective targets.
............
"Squeak!"
It hurts!
Breathing well, bouts of fatigue welling up, feeling the pain in his back, Ron's gaze swept over the top of the barrel, both iron fangs and his own blood, beginning to dry up, turning into black scars in the moonlight. Then his gaze drifted to where the iron fangs had fallen.
Iron Fang has been lifted up, as Scarface, Longtail, and Fat have left their original witness positions after the Boss Challenge, and come to Iron Fang.
Condescendingly, Ron's gaze was matched with that of the other four Moonlight Rat Leaders, his fiery red pupils contracted slightly, constantly shaking, as if something was brewing in his heart, until after a long time, Ron finally let out a chirp.
"Squeak!"
Come on! Today's moonshine is still good.
There was no grudge in the past, and there was no grudge in the near future, it was nothing more than a fight because of the position of the leader of the moonlight rat.
It is the instinct of intelligent beings that people go to high places, water flows to low places, and compete for the pinnacle of power. Although Ron has the intention to retaliate, there are only a few high-level moonlight rats in Askatra, and if the relationship is stiff, it will also be a great disadvantage for Ron to rule the moonlight rat population.
So, after considering the gains and losses, Ron finally chose to give up retaliation.
"Squeak!"
Letting out a cry of surprise, whether it was Scarface, Long Tail, Fat Man, or even Iron Fang, who had just gotten up with the help of the other Moonlight Rats, their tails were trembling slightly, which was a manifestation of the Moonlight Rat's excitement, revealing their inner fluctuations.
Retracting his gaze from Ron, the four Moonlight Rat owners exchanged glances with each other, and finally Scarface took the lead first, its thick legs slightly exerting force, and jumped briskly onto the top of the barrel, followed by the long tail, the fat man followed, and Iron Fang regained his strength for the last time, and jumped onto the barrel last.
"Squeak!"
Thank you!
But we're not going to give up on the challenge!
After all, this is for the future of the Azcatra moonshine rat population!
It has only been a month since their intelligence has been improved, and the Moonlight Rat Owners have not yet learned the cunning of the merchants of Askatra, and they are unusually honest, completely revealing their hearts in front of Ron, as pure as a flock of sheep.
Bathed in bright moonlight, gray-black hair, there was a scar on the rat's face that stretched from under the right eye to the bridge of the nose, the scar first showed his heart and then saluted to Ron, followed by a long tail with a tail half as long as that of a normal moonlight rat, a fat man with a body more than twice the size of a regular moonlight mouse, and finally an iron tooth with a pair of black strong front teeth.
"Squeak!"
I know!
You're always welcome to try again!
However, I need to clean my wound now, and I'm out of company!
Although he gave up on revenge, Ron was by no means as pure as the four Moonlight Rat Leaders, and under the pretext of needing to clean the wounds scratched by the Iron Fang on the Boss Challenge, Ron jumped from the oak barrel in search of a clean source of water to clean the wounds.
The water under the bridge is clear and fast, but as a moonlight rat, it is impossible for Ron to bathe in the river below the bridge, because it only takes a small rapids for Ron to disappear into the river without a trace.
He needed a shallow, clean and clean place not far from the barrels, and the goal of meeting all of the above conditions was also very close, almost the place that Ron had to visit for the first few days, and that was the Five Pot Inn...... The stables!
