Chapter 680: Chapter 507: A Cornered Beast Still Fights (Two in One)
"Hiss hiss hiss! Squeak!"
As if in agreement with Hamby’s words, every rat on the ground let out an unpleasant sound.
The noise was peculiar, like a snake, like a mouse, and also resembled the grating noise of a metal grinding wheel in operation.
In any case, it didn’t sound like anything a normal rat could make.
At that moment, as if obeying some kind of command,
the rats stopped their previous activity of gnawing on corpses and instead gathered together, forming two black tides that surged towards Hu Peng and Xun You.
"Dammit, he can control those rats! I’m going to kill him!"
Hu Peng shouted and leaped away from the swarm of rats, chasing in the direction where Hamby was.
The great sword crashed down, but Hamby narrowly dodged at the last moment.
"Heh heh heh, I said, play with my children first."
Hamby’s speed was incredibly fast, even appearing to suppress the two Transcendents.
When he ran, he used his hands and feet, which made him look incredibly strange, like a humanoid beast.
"Whoosh!"
Finally, with his movement, the black robe draped over him fell off, revealing his true form.
"Turns out it’s a leopard."
Hu Peng murmured softly.
Upon seeing the other’s appearance, he finally understood why he couldn’t catch up.
Except for his head, Hamby was covered with thick fur from the neck down.
The fur was dotted with spots, his body was lean, and his legs were bent backward, a perfect image of the Leopard Commander.
"Mortals, though I don’t know how you came to possess such a constitution, in the face of true Divine Power, you will ultimately be annihilated!"
A look of extreme arrogance appeared on Hamby’s face. With a wave of his hand, the rats once again swarmed towards the two men.
Hu Peng tried to use the same trick to dodge the rats and chase after Hamby.
But this time, the opponent had learned his lesson and manipulated the swarm to split into several groups, blocking Hu Peng’s path from all sides.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
A series of vibrating sounds arose, and Hu Peng’s legs shimmered with a faint light, blocking all the rats’ attacks.
Xiao Man knew that this was the Magic Shield he had exchanged resisting the damage.
"Get lost!"
A fierce shout erupted as Hu Peng swung the Mystical Weapon Great Sword, killing a circle of rats surrounding him.
Then, a figure reached his side, spread out five fingers, and instantly an invisible Shield opened up, flinging the rats that tried to keep rushing forward.
"Huh? What trick have you played?"
Hamby, standing to the side, naturally couldn’t see the Dark Energy Shield.
All he could see was his rats unable to advance within two meters of the pair, as if blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Forget it, no matter what method you use, it’s nothing but a desperate struggle. I don’t believe you can maintain this status indefinitely."
After observing for a while, Hamby still couldn’t discern the mechanics behind it.
He simply stopped wasting time and commanded the rats to launch waves of attacks.
In the midst of the battle, Xun You, who had conjured the Shield, paid him no attention.
He opened his other hand and gently swiped his fingers a few times, then pointed towards Hamby. A purple light shot out, heading straight for Hamby’s head.
Hamby was quick to react; as soon as he saw Xun You’s strange movements, he was on alert.
The moment he was pointed at, alarm bells went off in his mind, and he instinctively dodged.
Even though he had moved to dodge in advance, he was still a step too late. The purple light’s speed was too fast, instantly piercing his right shoulder.
"Szzt!"
A faint sound burst forth, and blood immediately flowed from the wound.
"Damn it! What kind of ability is this!"
Hamby was shocked.
He had originally thought that these two were super soldiers like himself, with genetically modified genes but ultimately within the scope of ordinary creatures.
The events had continually defied his expectations.
First was the ability to block the rats from nowhere, and now a light attack; this was beyond genetic modification’s explanation.
While shocked, his actions did not slow down.
Using the force from his last jump, he hastily took cover behind the two large black boxes holding the Mutants.
Xun You suddenly lost his target and couldn’t make another move.
The opponent was now using the black boxes as cover, and if he acted recklessly, the Burst Spirit Skill could break through the crates, exposing the black stones inside, which would be bad.
At that moment, the man who had been bound on the sacrificial altar suddenly spoke up.
He was Justin, who had been knocked out earlier in Landry’s Tomb, and his position up high had spared him the fate of being devoured by rats.
"Light! They fear light! These damned rats are afraid of bright light!"
Justin twisted his body, shouting hoarsely with all his strength.
"Shut up!"
Hamby’s frustrated voice came from behind the black boxes.
Then, whether he gave an order or not, a small group of black rats changed their target and ran towards Justin.
But his calculations were doomed to fail. The move from Xun You was swifter.
