Chapter 49: Chapter 49: The Plan in Motion
After making up his mind, Ye Bai took out his phone and sent a private message to Zhang Lingxue.
Zhang Lingxue, possessing Tier Five strength, held some influence in the Pet Beast Union.
[Ye Bai: Teacher, I discovered that the fragrance emitted by sunflowers has a strong suppressive effect on Bloodstorm Rats. I remember there is a large field of Tier Two sunflowers in the school’s Secret Realm.]
Zhang Lingxue received Ye Bai’s message at this moment and raised her eyebrows slightly.
What a coincidence, a pillow delivered right when one is sleepy.
Just now, Chairman Wang was worried about where to find a large number of Tier Two sunflowers, and they turned out to be right under our noses.
If it weren’t for Ye Bai’s reminder, she really wouldn’t have remembered.
The sunflowers at Shen Mountain Middle School were planted merely to purify the air in the Secret Realm, not serving much purpose otherwise.
But now, these sunflowers have become highly sought after.
They are weapons that can effectively deal with Bloodstorm Rats.
She waved the phone in her hand: "I know where to find enough sunflowers."
Time ticked by, second after second.
By the time the moon was high in the sky, the entire frozen warehouse was bathed in a silvery white light.
Countless sunflowers surrounded the entire frozen warehouse.
The bright white light they emitted illuminated the area a kilometer around as if it were broad daylight.
Moreover, the fragrance of the sunflowers forced the Bloodstorm Rats to retreat.
The pressure on the Pet Beast Union was decreasing significantly. After eliminating the Bloodstorm Rats that remained on the ground, Chairman Wang knew the next step was the key to resolving the Beast Tide.
This key would determine whether Jiaying City would face an even more terrifying Beast Tide or see the current tide dissipate.
This time, in the confrontation against the Blood Storm Rat Emperor, he would be the main force in battle.
"Is everyone ready?"
"Now is the moment of the final battle. If anyone wants to back out, please step forward; I won’t make things difficult for you."
Chairman Wang scanned the crowd, and everyone stood straight with resolute expressions in their eyes.
They would never back down; it was all for the people.
From the moment they joined the Pet Beast Union, they were willing to put their lives on the line.
The country comes first, and then the family.
Without a country, personal safety becomes insignificant.
"Very well, everyone has a high sense of responsibility."
"On behalf of all the citizens of Jiaying City, I thank you for your contributions."
"You are the pride of Jiaying City."
Chairman Wang bowed deeply, paying tribute to these heroes.
At this moment, Chairman Wang’s gaze fell on Wang Shi.
"Wang Shi, how much have the Bloodstorm Rats excavated?"
Wang Shi’s eyes turned earthy yellow again: "They have dug a very deep pit below; now is the perfect time to trigger a Great Earthquake."
Chairman Wang nodded. After preparing for so long, it was time to take action.
"Wang Shi, trigger the Great Earthquake."
"Now is the moment for our life-and-death battle with the Blood Storm Rat Emperor."
"Everyone, hang in there; I hope not a single one of us falls!"
Wang Shi summoned a gigantic Rock Giant.
It swung its massive fist and slammed into the ground with force.
Rumble, rumble.
The ground began to shake violently.
Ye Bai felt intense tremors at his location, and items around him started falling, which Big Gray blocked directly.
"It’s starting,"
Ye Bai watched as a web of cracks appeared on the floor of the frozen warehouse, and the ground around him began to crumble.
With a crack, the frozen warehouse plummeted downward.
At this moment, the colossal Blood Storm Rat Emperor looked up, sensing the intense tremors coming from above.
What were the humans planning? What kind of plots and schemes?
Being the Emperor of the Bloodstorm Rat clan, the Blood Storm Rat Emperor prided itself on its intelligence, at least it was a brainy Exotic Beast.
Large rocks began tumbling down from above.
Many Bloodstorm Rats were hit by the massive stones and died on the spot.
The Blood Storm Rat Emperor let out a thunderous roar towards the sky, while a neighboring mutated Blood Storm Rat King’s eyes glowed with immense spiritual power.
They tried to soothe their panic-stricken kin, but to little effect.
Their kin were completely terrified.
A large number of Bloodstorm Rats piled together, leading to severe stampedes.
Blood spilled everywhere.
At this moment, sounds of rumbling echoed from above.
Under the influence of the powerful tremors, a huge rock overhead started to fall straight down.
Danger approached, step by step.
The Blood Storm Rat Emperor showed a fierce expression.
After all, this place housed its elite Bloodstorm Rat army.
If the rock were to fall completely, they would likely all be squashed like sandwiches.
Such a death was far too humiliating.
Moreover, its army would suffer devastating losses; what a terrifying plan.
The Blood Storm Rat Emperor had a suspicion that its plan had been uncovered.
Having worked so hard to become the Emperor of the Bloodstorm Rat clan, it couldn’t afford to die here.
As for the rest of its brethren, well, apologies to them.
As the rock above began descending, the already panicking Bloodstorm Rats completely lost their minds.
They attempted to escape to the surface through the dug tunnels.
But the tunnels they dug were only so large, and now with them crowded together trying to squeeze out, it wasn’t going to be easy.
The Blood Storm Rat Emperor also wanted to escape, but it found all the passages crammed with Bloodstorm Rats.
Its hierarchical suppression over the Bloodstorm Rats also lost its effectiveness.
The Blood Storm Rat Emperor hissed at the nearby mutated Blood Storm Rat Kings, and their eyes turned purple.
A massive surge of spiritual power emanated, causing the heads of the Bloodstorm Rats blocking the Emperor’s path to burst like watermelons, white brains scattered all over the ground.
After arduously carving a bloody path, upon reaching the tunnel entrance, the Blood Storm Rat Emperor was dumbfounded.
The opening was only half its body size; it couldn’t squeeze through.
Seeing the rocks fall faster, the Blood Storm Rat Emperor became more anxious.
It had become the Emperor of the Bloodstorm Rats with great difficulty; it didn’t want to die here.
The space for survival was further compressed, and countless Bloodstorm Rats were crushed into meat paste by the rocks.
This had truly become the grave of the Bloodstorm Rat clan.
The terrifying stench of blood permeated the air, blood gushing out like a tide, while the Blood Storm Rat Emperor spread its arms, trying to use its flesh and blood to slow the descent.
Unfortunately, it failed, terror filling its eyes. It lay prone on the ground, its entire body quivering uncontrollably.
Was it truly going to die here?
It felt this was the greatest crisis of its life as a rat.
Just when the Blood Storm Rat Emperor believed it was doomed, the rock’s descent began to slow.
Opening its eyes, it found that the corpses of its kin were wedged into the rock’s crevices.
The lucky-to-survive Blood Storm Rat Emperor quickly seized this opportunity, calling out to the mutated Blood Storm Rat King to leave by digging tunnels.
"Focus on monitoring the dynamics underground, Wang Shi, and assess the casualties below."
