Alternate World: I Started With Two SSS Templates

395 Imprisoned Rat

100,000 rats might seem like a lot, but in reality, the numbers quickly dwindled down in the cave. Lin Xuan only needed one earthquake to cause the entire cave to collapse, and there would be no living creatures left. If not for the fact that he wanted to kill all the rats, Lin Xuan would have done that long ago.

That’s right, even if there was only one rat left, this race could rise again!

All his perception skills were fully activated. With all of it activated, he could detect life and strength. Under the multi-faceted approach, not a single rat could escape Lin Xuan’s hunt.

There weren’t many earth-rank rats, and Lin Xuan didn’t encounter any along the way. If he encountered normal rats, a small wind blade would be enough to kill them. The yellow-rank ones were useless as well, and he used a simple slash to kill them. The mystic-rank ones were a little tougher, so he needed to use his finger gun-embroidery needle to kill them.

The entire cave was originally filled with squeaking sounds, but as Lin Xuan went deeper, the sounds became weaker and weaker, gradually falling into silence.

!!

Lin Xuan had lost count of how many rats he had killed along the way. He was already numb to it, but when he turned around and saw the statue of Io on the street, Lin Xuan made up his mind. The rats had to be wiped out, not for any reason, but because they were enemies.

After killing for an unknown amount of time, Lin Xuan walked to a cave that was obviously more well kept. There was a high chance that this was the cave where the Rat King was. This was also the last place where Lin Xuan could sense the rat’s aura.

Without any hesitation, he stepped in.

A patrol team of rats who were dressed in armor appeared in front of Lin Xuan. The armor on their bodies was very worn and did not fit them, but it was the only armor that Lin Xuan had seen on his way here.

Were the rats poor?

“They should be palace guards, but why do they look like that?” Lin Xuan was stunned. He was numb to killing and didn’t react for a while. He didn’t care about the team of rats that were coming his way. After all, they couldn’t cause much damage.

The group of rats naturally saw Lin Xuan and their first reaction was not to fight but to run away. They knew their own strength too well. Yes, they were a little cowardly, but as long as they could survive, they’d take that as a win.

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan easily caught up to them and sent them into the cycle of reincarnation with the rest of their clan!

It seemed that the rat race really did not have many powerhouses left!

Lin Xuan sighed. With the support of Io, they managed to obtain power. With the appearance of the disaster demon rats and disaster plague rats, they could completely compete with the half-dragon kobold warlocks of the Kobold Kingdom. However, most of these powerhouses were sent to the battlefields or to those strategic points to fight against the geniuses of Taixia. Some had already died, while some… were on their road to death.

Every single guard he saw was killed.

The waves of guards were abundant. The underground cave of the palace was huge, but that was all. There were no small gardens, fountains, rockery, greenery, or street lamps. There were only bare rock passages and rats clad in unfitting armor.

“What’s that?”

There was a weak earth-rank aura, a mystic-rank peak aura, and dozens of mixed rat auras nearby.

What was with that weak earth-rank aura? It must be a secret room not far below those auras…

Lin Xuan was still very observant. He would not disturb them when they were having fun. At least, he would let them have a good time so that they would not have any regrets when they were on their way.

About 30 seconds later, Lin Xuan let out a comfortable sigh. He knew that the other party had finished and shook his head.

He kicked away the moving rock in front of the cave, and the rock rolled into the cave, crushing a few female rats who could not escape in time. Lin Xuan appeared at the entrance of the cave with an indifferent face and looked at the situation inside.

“Who are you?”

Lin Xuan’s brows twitched, and dozens of wind blades flashed past, killing those female rats immediately. The Rat King immediately quivered and bowed to Lin Xuan.

“Please spare me!”

“You can speak Taixia language.”

Lin Xuan looked at the young Rat King in amusement. He could easily kill a mystic-rank. Therefore, in the next second, Lin Xuan directly made a move and crushed it to death.

There was one last aura under his feet.

Lin Xuan’s entire body turned into soil and entered it. Then, his body entered a pitch-black sealed space. An earth-rank rat was imprisoned here.

A ball of fire appeared in Lin Xuan’s palm, and the fire lit up the entire space. An old, huge, pitch-black rat was lying on the ground listlessly. Its body was locked up by chains formed by divine power, and not far away from it was the statue of Io.

This was not a secret chamber for worshiping God, but an inquisitor. This rat was not a clergyman, but a heretic in the words of God.

“What is this…”

Lin Xuan realized that he had accidentally discovered the secret of the rat clan. Although the rat clan had probably been exterminated by him, these historical secrets of the rat clan were no longer important.

The earth-rank rat seemed to have heard Lin Xuan’s whisper. It tried its best to open one eye and saw Lin Xuan’s figure.

“Y-you’re from Taixia Country. Are you here to save me?”

Lin Xuan was speechless.

“What the h*ll? is there an alliance between the rats and Taixia Country or something?”
