701 There Was Indeed A Conspiracy
Following that, the Qiming Lamps on the pillars around them lit up instantly, illuminating the surrounding rice fields as if it were daytime.
Countless rats appeared in the rice fields like a tide. One look was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
At that moment, the countless Straw men in the rice fields also started to move. Their eyes shone as they waved their weapons and shouted. The shouts of beating down the grain thieves continued.
“What’s going on? How did these Straw men come to life?”
“My God, this is unbelievable. The Straw men are actually alive and can even speak. They seem to be very strong too. Am I dreaming?”
“So many rats! Is this a rat tide? There are too many of them, probably no less than a million. Quick! Quickly protect the grains, protect the rice fields!”
The civilians still in the rice fields could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. They did not expect such a shocking change to happen instantly, especially those who did not believe that the Straw men could deter the rats. Just then, their heads went utterly blank.
No matter what, they could not imagine that those Straw men, which were clearly planted with their hands, would suddenly come to life. And he killed the ferocious rat with such a fierce strike. That strength is really impressive!
“This is not good. There are actually so many Straw men, and they’ve come to life. This Rat Devourer has fallen into a trap! He instantly became the Straw men’s target!”
A mysterious figure hidden in the dark whispered.
He clearly felt that those Straw men were not easy to bully.
Even though he did not know what was going on with the Straw men, he was sure that there must be a reason for it since they were placed there and trusted by Li Xiang.
“Damn it! There is indeed a conspiracy! How can these Straw men come to life? Could this be some kind of great magical power? And there are so many of them. I’m afraid there are more than a hundred thousand of them!”
Rat Devourer also immediately noticed that something was wrong.
He had thought that the Lord of Dawn was only using the Straw men to humiliate him. But they had actually come to life and posed such a great threat. That strong contrast made his entire head go blank.
What is false is true. What is true is false. The art of war is in one’s mind.
However, his expression soon turned fierce. He felt that his intelligence had been played with, and he coldly shouted, “Hmph! Do you really think that you can toy with me? Do you really think that you can control everything? I’m telling you, in the face of absolute power, all wisdom is meaningless. Rat army, kill! Tear these damn Straw men into pieces! Tear them all into pieces! I don’t want to see any Straw men!”
Rat Devourer was completely fuming with rage between gritted teeth.
Battle. A battle at all costs.
Moreover, even if the rat army died, he wouldn’t feel any heartache. He could have as many as he wanted as long as he had some time. The reproductive ability of rats was no joke. He wanted to prove that all conspiracies were useless in the face of absolute strength.
Those Straw men were going to be torn to pieces.
Squeak…
After receiving the Rat Devourer’s order, the entire army of rats immediately went berserk. Millions of rats gathered; their scale was as vast as the sea. Like a huge wave, they roared and pounced on the Straw men.
The rats’ huge bodies significantly increased their lethality. Moreover, some of them had bloodline magical powers.
When they ran, their movements were very flexible and unpredictable, making it difficult for the opponents to capture their movements.
“You’re looking for death!”
“Defeat the grain thieves!”
“Brothers, there are so many rat thieves! Come and kill them!
The Straw men shouted loudly.
When they saw the dense rat army, their bodies burned with uncontrollable anger and a powerful desire to protect. The obsession to protect the rice fields burned wildly in their bodies.
Just the thought of fighting against so many rat thieves and protecting the rice fields, all the Straw men felt a powerful force spreading wildly in their bodies. They instantly possessed more power than usual, and an endless fighting spirit appeared in their eyes.
Immediately, a fierce battle broke out in the rice fields.
One by one, the Straw men sprinted in the rice fields.
Some waved the bamboo sticks in their hands and hit the rats’ heads directly. With one hit, the rats’ heads were immediately smashed. Some were even smashed into pieces, with brain matter spilling out. Red and white flew everywhere.
Some pulled a large net, and dozens of fierce rats were caught. The rats caught in the net were immediately tied into a ball. Those rats were all smashed with a shake and a smash until they were dizzy. Then, other Straw men came forward and beat them to death.
Some of them lifted their buckets and poured water on the fierce rats. They did not know what kind of water it was, but it was bone-chilling, and the moment they were drenched in it, they were frozen on the spot. One by one, they fell to the ground.
There were also those who carried hoes. With a swing of their hoes, the rats seemed to forget how to dodge and were killed on the spot.
A large number of Straw men rushed forward, cooperating with each other. They pulled out a giant net in front of them and used it as a shield. One net was enough to catch a lot of them.
“So powerful, these Straw men are too powerful! Country Lord, where did you get so many magical Straw men? Could it be that you found them in the valley you mentioned before?”
Li Xiang and the others stood still on the city wall, taking in the entire scene in the rice fields. Huang Chengyan and the others could not help but feel shocked.
“It looks like there’s no pattern to their attacks, but when they are shouting to beat down the grain thieves, they are extremely accurate. They look like they are staggering, but they can dodge most of the rat group’s attacks. Moreover, they are so powerful! The power in their bodies is extremely shocking!”
Zhou Qing was also secretly shocked, and his eyes revealed a strange light.
“If I’m not mistaken, these Straw men are all body refiners who specialize in cultivating their physical strength. Each of them is an extremely powerful body refining Transcendents. Every strike can break the bones of the fierce rats. These aren’t ordinary rats but fierce beasts. Fierce beasts are born with strong bodies, but their bones are being broken by the Straw men. This means that each attack has a destructive power of tens of thousands of Jin.” Zhang Fei said in surprise.
The shock he felt from seeing such powerful Straw men was no less than the others.
“It’s indeed powerful. Even if there were a million rats, they will be defeated sooner or later when faced with the Straw men who have activated their Guardian Heart. The strength of these Straw men has probably increased by more than half compared to the last time we encountered them!” Zhou Qing nodded as his eyes flickered like he was thinking about something.
