Chapter 52: The Mage Pulls the Monster, Ruthless and Fast

15% for option 1, 5% for option 2 and 80% for option 3.

……

[Option 3]: Find a way to sneak into the Rat King's lair, take away the treasure, and then sprint directly to the next floor

Harvest: Minor damage, no materials, no treasures

……

The highest probability is to sneak into the Rat King's lair.

Zheng Zhuo looked at the options and thought.

It's too dangerous to attack the Rat King directly. Then, there are two options left: fleeing directly, or getting items and running away.

The votes for getting an item and then running away are so high. This means...... It is feasible.

Of course, Zheng Zhuo wanted to get the treasure.

The question that remains is how to do this.

Zheng Zhuo kept staring nervously at the [Identification] panel, trying to find the answer from it.

Zhuang Yusheng's [sneaking]. My Identification, Rapid Cast, Fireball, Mage's Hand, and Fatigue Resistance: Small.

In this, there must be some kind of answer.

……

"Zhuang Yusheng."

After thinking about it, Zheng Zhuo asked.

"In the face of the Rat King, how far away do you need to keep your [Stealth] skill so that the other party doesn't notice you?"

"Oh? Are you planning to take the Rat King's treasure? ”

Zhuang Yusheng was interested.

"I want to think about it...... Thirty meters, no, considering that the other party may turn back, it is better to have fifty meters. ”

Fifty meters.

Zheng Zhuo raised his head. He stared at the top of the slope: it was almost fifty meters from the Rat King's cave.

Now there are only two people on the team. Well, there are two options.

In the first case, Paizhuang Yusheng [sneaks] through the beast's nest and reaches the top of the slope. Disarm [Stealth] to attract the attention of the Rat King. Enter the Rat King's Cave to get the treasure yourself.

The second is to rush through the beast's nest and attract the attention of the Rat King. Zhuang Yusheng took the opportunity to use [Stealth] to enter the beast's nest, take away the treasure, and then [Sneak] to leave and join himself.

Which one should you use? Otherwise, vote for it......

Zheng Zhuo poked his head out of the stalagmite.

No.

He changed his mind.

Because the rats are back!

They are entrenched between stalagmites and stalagmites, their eyes glittering red.

The first plan was declared bankrupt before it could be tested: with the rat swarm, it was impossible for Zheng Zhuo to escape from the Rat King's cave after taking the treasure from the rat king's cave.

Only the second option remains.

"I rushed through the lair myself......"

Zheng Zhuo looked ahead again.

No matter how you think about it, the only skills that can be used are [Fireball] and [Mage's Hand].

The next step is to believe in your ability to run......

"You get ready."

Zheng Zhuo didn't look back and said to Zhuang Yusheng.

"I'll lure the Rat King away. You're ready to steal the Rat King's treasure. ”

……

The Rat King crawls in the shadows, making a "rustling" sound.

All of a sudden.

Airplanes!

A fireball erupts from the shadow of the stalagmite. It flew over the Rat King's head and hit the opposite rock wall. A spark exploded on the rock. The remnants of Mars streaked like meteors across the dark cavern.

All the red eyes in the depths scurried. They retreated into the depths of darkness and raised their heads vigilantly.

"Shhh

The Rat King turned around. It sat up—which made it look like a bear—and then, three steps in the direction of the fireball, two steps closer.

Now is the time.

Zheng Zhuo rushed out from behind the stalagmites on the other side.

(Running over——! )”

He gritted his teeth and ran forward! The body is unobstructed from the stalagmite and exposed to the unobstructed slope.

The fishy wind rises in the back. Zheng Zhuo knew that the Rat King was coming.

"——! Now"

He flicked his staff back. At the end of the staff, the pre-loaded [Fireball] ring lit up.

"[Fireball] released!"

Boom!

The second fireball that lit up in the cavern hit the Rat King in the eye.

Sparks flew through the room, and the rat king's scream set off a wave of terrifying sound. Zheng Zhuo gritted his teeth and confirmed the [Identification] panel that was opened in front of him-

The Rat King's physical strength has only dropped by less than 1/10.

Sure enough, it can't be treated as a creature like a normal mouse!

Zheng Zhuo waved his short staff again.

"Mage's Hand, Reload ......"

The Rat King has pounced! It dragged its long, scorching black fur and crashed into Zheng Zhuo.

"[Mage's Hand], release!" 、

A dark blue transparent palm appeared in the air, grabbing the rat king's hind legs.

The hand pulls back forcefully –

However.

Its strength is simply no match for the Rat King.

The Mage's Hand slowed the Rat King only slightly. The Rat King still ran straight into Zheng Zhuo.

Huge shock. At that moment, Zheng Zhuo only felt as if he had been hit by a light truck.

"-uh-"

He flew out and was flying to the top of the slope. He hit it there twice, and then, falling into the big hole at the top of the slope.

The Rat King frantically rushed to the top. However, the large hole in the slope has a downward funnel shape behind it. The rat king's sheer size made it impossible for him to fully cram himself into the hole.

It hovered in place angrily for a moment, screaming to the sky.

Then.

There was a soft sound at the other end of the cavern.

The Angry Rat King has become extremely sensitive to any sound! It rushed to the other side of the cavern with unstoppable momentum.

Without sparing this gap, in the darkness, a shadow crept up the slope, and then entered the cave.

……

Inside the cave. The bottom of the funnel-shaped slope.

"Hiss......"

Zheng Zhuo fell to the bottom of the slope. The Venus in front of him was rushing in front of him, and he couldn't move for a while.

"That's ...... [Charge]...... Is it ...... Hiss ......"

In the face of the attack of the Rat King of Lv.10, it is a miracle that he did not die on the spot without wearing any armor.

Zheng Zhuo was lying on the ground, and he couldn't help but think about how many ribs he had broken.

"It's a good thing to use the [Mage's Hand] to pull me into the cave...... But this plan is really a bit painful to implement......"

He heard the Rat King on the slope screaming angrily. After a while, there was the sound of sand falling.

"Yo. Still alive? ”

Zhuang Yusheng fell beside him.

"Reluctantly...... bar. ”

"It's not dead. Look! ”

With a "bang", he threw a large bag of gleaming metalwork on the ground next to him.

"There are a lot of weapons in the Rat King's cave! Now it's earned, it's earned! None of them are valuable weapons, but they should sell for a few silver coins! My dagger can also be replaced with a steel one—"

"-Oh, oh, yes."

He pulled Zheng Zhuo up from the ground and put it on his shoulder. The wound was pulled, Zheng Zhuo grinned in pain, and almost punched him directly.

"Do you see if there's anything you want? That rat king is so beautiful! Weapons, money, you can't do without your share! It's the first time I've seen a mage seduce you—"

He said with a gleam in his eyes.

Ha ha.

Zheng Zhuo smiled dryly and looked at the loot.
