On the Prata Grassland, the rain gradually stopped.
After the storm, a beautiful rainbow streaked across the sky, connecting the two ends of the sky like a bridge.
At this moment, Osmond’s thoughts had been organized.
Right at that moment, the peach-faced rat delivered itself to his doorstep.
It turned out that the peach-faced rats had been searching for Osmond all along. All six of them came together.
The peach-faced rat could be said to be one of the spiritual beasts that guarded this grassland.
Even though it was a groundhog, it didn’t do anything to disrupt the ecological balance of the grassland. Instead, it continued to chase away intruders.
In the eyes of the peach-faced rat, Osmond was clearly an intruder.
And so it was.
It had to be said that the peach-masked rat was not only strong, but also very responsible for guarding the Prata Grasslands.
Osmond did not care about them being the Guardian Spirit Beasts of the Prata Grasslands. He just wanted to increase his level and abilities. He was more concerned about facing the enemies of the Warriors Faction in the future.
Since the peach-masked rats had caught up with them, they would end this once and for all.
It just so happened that Hill and Annie were also there.
Osmond said to Annie.
“Hide first. Don’t let the peach-faced rat discover you.”
“Alright, Big Brother.”
Annie quickly hid in a bush.
Osmond said to Hill.
“Hill, the magic resistance of these peach-masked rats is very strong, but fortunately, you have an advantage in physical attacks. You have to be careful when dealing with these peach-masked rats on the ground!”
“Alright, Big Brother.”
Osmond’s dragon wings trembled, and he flew into the air.
Those peach-faced rats could only watch Osmond, unable to deal with him.
The previous loss was due to Osmond’s negligence.
This time, he would not give the peach-faced rat any chance to attack him.
At this moment, a peach-faced rat aimed its attack at Hill.
Hill could tell that the six peach-faced rats were not going to be easy to deal with.
A moment later, he unleashed his [Tear] skill. His talent in all aspects increased by 10% in a short period of time, and he was ready to fight.
The peach-faced rat’s attack power was comparable to Hill’s, but it was impossible for hIll to defeat six of them at once.
Of course, Osmond knew exactly how powerful the peach-faced rats and Hill were.
In the sky, he observed every movement of the peach-faced rats.
The six peach-faced rats acted as they did when they were attacking Osmond for the first time. They were not attacking in a group, but moving forward with a plan
Two of the peach-faced rats rushed forward and leaped toward Hill.
Hill reacted quickly and began to counterattack.
With Hill’s current power, he was still able to handle the two peach-masked rats.
After a round of battle, their strengths proved to be evenly matched.
At this moment, the four peach-faced rats behind all burrowed into the ground, attempting to deal Hill a fatal blow.
In the sky, Osmond naturally wouldn’t give the peach-faced rats a chance to attack Hill.
Swish.
A phantom dragon claw appeared in the sky and quickly slashed toward the peach-faced rat that was fighting Hill.
One of the peach-faced rats was knocked to the ground before it could react.
Hill took the opportunity to unleash Berserk Fist and dealt a heavy blow to the peach-faced rat.
Hill didn’t know that the peach-masked rat had a shield, so he thought that the punch would be able to deal a fatal blow to it.
But that was not the case.
As Osmond had expected, the peach-faced rat that had been knocked to the ground had quietly released its shield skill.
Under the shield skill, the peach-faced rat was not harmed at all.
Right at this moment, another rat took the opportunity to strike Hill with its claw, and it sustained some superficial wounds.
Hill then threw another punch at the rat.
Osmond released another dragon claw. Although it did not cause any damage to the peach-faced rat this time, it gave Hill a chance to catch his breath.
But Osmond didn’t buy Hill a lot of time.
The four peach-faced rats that had burrowed underground broke out of the ground and jumped up.
Osmond, who had sharp eyes, seized this opportunity and suddenly used Dragon Flame.
A stream of lava burst out from the ground where the peach-faced rats were, sending the four of them into the sky.
The four peach-faced rats released their shield skills at the same time, allowing them to be immune to the damage.
However, his attack was not over yet.
Osmond didn’t want to give the peach-faced rats a chance to breathe.
Boom boom boom boom!
High-temperature flames sprayed toward the peach-faced rats.
Without any chance to counterattack, the peach-masked rats activated their second shield.
The shield skill of the peach-faced rats could only be used three times in 24 hours. Now, all six of them had used it a second time.
The two attacks infuriated the rats.
According to the data displayed by Osmund’s golden bracelet, there was a level 25 peach-masked rat. It seemed to be the boss of these six peach-masked rats.
It was as if that rat was issuing orders to the other rats.
A moment later, all the peach-masked rats used the [Body Strengthening] skill.
Every peach-faced rat’s attack and defense were increased by 10%.
Then, the three peach-faced rats focused their attacks on Hill, while the other three observed Osmond’s movements.
Under the attacks of the three peach-masked rats, Hill was clearly struggling.
In order to avoid the peach-masked rats’ attack, Hill activated his [Psionic Awakening] skill.
Under the effect of the skill, Hill’s speed instantly increased by 200%.
Hill said smugly.
“You stinking rats, come after me if you can.”
Naturally, the peach-masked rat would not let him off so easily. It followed closely behind.
Osmond sneered.
“Hill is quite capable. He split the peach-masked rat into two groups. Alright, I’ll deal with the remaining group.”
As he spoke,
Annie was still hiding in a bush nearby.
Osmond hadn’t let Annie come out yet. She also wouldn’t come out before Osmond gave the order.
The peach-masked rats had one more chance to activate their shields. If Annie used [Hypnosis] and was discovered by the peach-masked rats, Annie would be in danger.
He wanted to let the peach-masked rats consume their last shield skill.
It was not a difficult task for Osmond.
Swish.
A phantom dragon claw slashed down at the peach-faced rats.
Soon, all the peach-faced rats burrowed underground and disappeared without a trace.
He kept his guard up this time. No one knew where the peach-faced rats would come from.
After suffering such a loss last time, Osmond would definitely not make the same mistake again.
After a long time, there was still no movement on the grasslands.
Could it be that the three peach-masked rats had already gone to Hill?
If Osmond went to find Hill now, what would happen to Annie? If he lost Annie, how would he get rid of all six peach-faced rats at once?
Osmond was in a dilemma.
He wasn’t sure about Hill’s situation.
No matter what, he could not just wait like this. If Hill ended up in danger, Osmond would be responsible.
