BXBX NOVEL Chapter 31 - 31 Selling Roasted Fire Rats! Three yuan each, three for ten yuan!
Fire Rat Lair. Nightmare Difficulty.
“Wind Blade Slash!”
“Puff!”
A blade of wind more than half a meter long shot out from the sword in Liang Feifan’s hand, immediately slashing a wound on a seriously injured fire rat.
“Squeak Squeak Squeak-a ! ”
The fire rat let out an angry shriek and threw itself onto Liang Feifan in a desperate counterattack before dying.
Its sharp fangs bit harshly into his arm.
“Ah… Damn!”
“Quick, kill it!”
Liang Feifan screamed in pain. Zhao Yeping, who was beside him, swung his sword and finally chopped off the fire rat’s head.
“Damn!”
Liang Feifan slumped to the ground, cursing.
He was covered in blood, especially the wound on his arm, which looked extremely tragic.
Next to them lay the bodies of three other fire rats. “Brother Fan! Shall we continue?”
Yang Lie also came over, his face looking a bit unsightly.
After they entered the nightmare difficulty, they had managed to kill only one fire rat.
After that, five fire rats attacked them all at once.
The whole team was instantly scattered.
Lin Jianyue was the first to be unable to hold on and he immediately quit the team, escaping the instance dungeon.
The remaining four of them managed to fend off these fire rats with great difficulty.
“Of course we continue!”
Liang Feifan cursed under his breath, “We’ve come this far, there’s no possibility of retreating!”
“It’s a pity these monsters are all fire attribute. My skills aren’t very effective…” Yang Lie shook his head, “Otherwise, I would have roasted these rats by now!”
Liang Feifan took a deep breath, forced himself to stand despite the severe pain in his arm and gritted his teeth, “Guys, don’t worry.”
“Killing one fire rat gives each of us 5-8 soul points. If we kill another dozen or so, we can level up!”
“Once we level up, our stats will increase significantly! We fight to get stronger!” “We will eventually conquer this instance dungeon!”
“This…”
After exchanging glances, the rest of the team nodded, “Alright, let’s give it another try! ”
“Be careful this time, lure no more than two fire rats at a time. Otherwise, we’ll have to retreat.’
“We’ll reconsider after leveling up!”
“Alright!”

[Description: Fire Rat Tail, Cooked! Roast it yourself! Three dollars for one, ten dollars for three!]
Looking at the roasted fire rat tail, about four to five centimeters long and smelling tantalizingly of roasted meat, that suddenly appeared in his hand, Zheng Cheng’s mouth twitched unconsciously.
A roasted fire rat tail?
And it’s cooked?
Permanently increases agility by 1 point?
“Rat meat?”
In his past life, he had been to Lingnan Province and had tried rat meat on a friend’s recommendation.
Honestly, if one can overcome the psychological discomfort…
Rat meat is… not tasty!
However, looking at the special property of the fire rat tail, he still bit into it while frowning!
“Hmm…”
“The taste isn’t bad, kinda like spicy strips-”
A surge of warmth rose within him, and his agility quickly increased by 1 point, reaching 5 points!
He took advantage of this opportunity to dissect the bodies of the other fire rats.
Regrettably, he didn’t find any more fire rat tails.
A fire rat is after all a LV3 monster. The probability of obtaining special ingredients from it is noticeably lower than from ordinary domestic animals.
Yao Zhixue looked back curiously and asked, “Zheng Cheng, what are you eating?”
“Nothing?”
Zheng Cheng wiped his mouth and followed them.
The fact that he could dissect special ingredients with random dissection was his biggest secret; of course he wouldn’t tell anyone. Even Chen Xiao, Cai Shen and the others wouldn’t be told.
Unless.
Until he becomes a true powerhouse, of at least Epic or Legendary level, he could not reveal it!
A man who has treasure is a target for crime!
The group gradually approached the entrance to the fire rat nest, and Zheng Cheng took the initiative to move to the front of the group.
His physical fitness rating was as high as 64 points, similar to wearing three sets of Berserker armor.
No matter how much these fire rats scratched at him, they could not hurt him!
The fire rat nest’s opening was taller than a man, and the walls around it were incredibly smooth, presenting a deep red color.
The dim fire red glow illuminatively lit up the inside of the nest.
Chen Xiao asked curiously, “Brother Cheng, we’ve been following this path for a while now, why haven’t we seen any fire rats?”
Cai Shen, who was standing next to him, interrupted, “You jinx, keep your mouth shut, I…”
“Squeak, squeak, squeak—”
“Damn!”
From afar, a series of rat noises came from the depths of the cave. Just from the sound alone, there seemed to be at least ten of them.
“Run!”
“Quick, lure the monster out…”
Chen Xiao and the others panicked immediately, but Zheng Cheng calmly shouted, “Don’t panic!”
He surveyed his surroundings, and his eyes suddenly lit up, “Over there!”
Zheng Cheng pointed at a huge pit inside the cave.
It was flanked by walls and sunk down in the middle, looking like a vertical pit.
The opening was only big enough for one person to pass through, kind of like a tunnel exploded by a bomb.
“Get in there!”
“Hurry up and move!”
The others had a spark in their eyes and hastily ran in.
“I’ll block the entrance! You guys kill the monsters behind me…”
Chen Xiao had just shouted when he was kicked into the hole by Zheng Cheng.
“Less nonsense, I will block the entrance!”
“Give me your shield!”
Chen Xiao handed his shield over to Zheng Cheng, worriedly said, “Brother Cheng, don’t overestimate yourself. I’m the knight here, with a physique of nine points…”
Zheng Cheng decisively said, “I’ll return it later!”
“Squeak, squeak, squeak–!!”
By this time, the dozen or so fire rats had already attacked.
Upon seeing Zheng Cheng, their fiery red pupils flashed with ruthless light, fiercely charging over.
Zheng Cheng stuck the shield into the ground and immediately threw out an Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak-!”
The three fastest fire rats were immediately affected, screaming and falling to the ground.
Holy crap!
Zheng Cheng’s eyes lit up.
All three fire rats were…anally split?
Taking advantage of the moment, he wielded his long knife and delivered a fierce blow.
The leading fire rat was cut down instantly.
“Whoosh-
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
Another three ice blades were shot out, piercing into the rat crowd, freezing a large number of fire rats.
Despite this, the fire rats were still charging at Zheng Cheng without any signs of stopping.
Especially under the stimulus of fresh blood, corpses, and raw flesh, these fire rats became even more ravenous.
Unfortunately for them.
Zheng Cheng stood guard at the mouth of the pit like a rock, enduring the onslaught without retreating.
Each of his blows killed a fire rat.
But the fire rats could not break through his defense.
A few seconds later, he threw out another Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique into the rat crowd.
Once again, three fire rats shrieked and fell on the ground, with viscous liquid splattering everywhere.
Following this, three more ice blades were shot out, freezing the agitated crowd of fire rats in place.
During the fight, he also severely injured another fire rat, allowing it slip into the pit for Chen Xiao and others to kill.
“Hahaha! This is so freaking exciting!”
“Brother Cheng, you’re so awesome! All these fire rats can’t even break your defense!”
“Another one comes in, quickly kill it!”
“Crack…”
“Crack, crack…”
The others suddenly changed their expressions, looking at the shield in Zheng Cheng’s hand.
Along with the attack of the fire rats, this ordinary wooden shield finally couldn’t hold up any longer, its durability was depleted, and it was on the brink of breaking!
Without the shield’s blockade, Zheng Cheng alone couldn’t stop so many fire rats.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak-4!!”
And just at this time, more weird noises came from the distance.
Another group of fire rats crawled out from the distant cave.
And this batch of fire rats was even larger in size. Their pupils were like red gems, these were clearly elite monsters!
“Squeak, squeak, squeak–!!”
