Swallowed Star: Wish Fulfillment System

Chapter 26: Killing the Rat King and Calming the Rat Tide

On November 2056, 11, Xiao Yu finally arrived at City 29, where the rat outbreak was most severe.

On the way, he also encountered dozens of small rat waves. Each wave was not large in number, only a few hundred thousand rats. With the speed of these rats, they naturally could not do anything to him.

The rat beasts in the rat tide we encountered before were not very big, only about thirty centimeters long.

But the rat tide in this city is different.

There are hundreds of millions of rats here, forming a dark mass that is boundless and almost covers the entire city.

The strange thing is that the rat tide does not show any tendency to spread outward, but instead continues to shrink inward.

Xiao Yu carefully jumped onto the rooftop of a 20-story commercial building in the suburbs and took out a telescope to see clearly.

There are three centers in this rat tide, which are three tall buildings. On each of the tall buildings, there is a figure constantly fighting. Countless rat beasts swarm up the tall buildings, like three black pyramids.

These three figures should be the three war god-level warriors who were trapped in the rat tide.

The sonic boom produced by the battle resounded throughout the city, and even Xiao Yu, who was on the edge of the city, could hear it.

After finding out the reasons behind the strange behavior of the rat tide, Xiao Yu did not act rashly and continued searching among the dark tide of rats.

A rat tide will not happen without reason. There must be a rat king leading the rat beasts, or perhaps more than one.

Looking at the scale of the rat tide before his eyes, to control hundreds of millions of rat beasts, the Rat King should be at the lord level, or even the high lord level.

The Rat King usually hides in the rat tide and will not show up easily.

There were three dark blue shadows flying in the distant sky. At first glance, he thought it was a flying monster. When the dark blue flying object came closer, Xiao Yu could see clearly that it was three flat round flying fighters similar to the shape of flying saucers!
Nowadays, most of the military flying fighter jets are of this flat and round shape, because this shape is conducive to defense and offense if they are attacked by flying monsters in the air.

These flying fighter planes actually dived towards the tide of rats. When they were still a hundred meters away from the ground, the flying fighter planes just happened to hover above the herd of beasts. With Xiao Xiaoyu's eyesight, he could clearly see a huge gun muzzle exposed on the belly of the fighter plane.

Endless blazing flames suddenly spurted out from the muzzle, directly covering the tide of rats below. Under the scorching flames that were probably thousands of degrees in temperature, a large number of rat beasts were caught on fire and burned to death.

After a long time, Xiao Yu did not find any trace of the Rat King. He guessed that the Rat King might be hiding in some building.

The building where the Rat King hides should have a better view and be able to control the overall situation.

In this 0252 city, there are only three high-rise buildings with good views, one of which is located at the center of the triangle formed by the three war gods.

Xiao Yu guessed that the insidious Rat King was probably hiding among them.

The two-hundred-meter-high commercial building was nearly thirty miles away from Xiao Yu.

If Xiao Yu wanted to rush over, he had two ways. One was to fight his way through, but he might be trapped by the rat tide like the other three war gods.

The second option is to fly there in a fighter jet.

Xiao Yu took out the satellite communication watch and turned on the public channel.

"I'm Xiao Yu from the Extreme Martial Arts School. My number is 542658111XXX. I have an important matter and need fighter support."

Xiao Yu repeated it over and over again into his communication watch.

Soon a voice came over the public channel.

"Hello, God of War Xiao Yu! I am the Tiger Hawk fighter. Your request has been received and the fighter will be there soon."

One of the three fighter planes that were constantly clearing out the rat tide quickly adjusted its flight attitude and flew towards the high-rise building where Xiao Yu was.

Three minutes later, the flying fighter plane was hovering more than ten meters above Xiao Yu's head, and the rear door of the cabin slowly lowered to form a horizontal platform.

Xiao Yu exerted a little force with his feet and arrived on the platform with a whoosh.

"Don't close the cabin." Xiao Yu said, "Fly to the tallest building in the center of the city."

Xiao Yu pointed to the center of the triangle formed by the three war gods.

"Received." The fighter pilot received the order.

Three minutes later, Xiao Yu jumped off the flying fighter plane.

The name of this building can still be vaguely seen as 'Crown Summer Building'.

After the flying fighter plane dropped Xiao Yu off, it did not fly away immediately, but instead circled around to kill the rat beasts.

The originally quiet building suddenly became lively because of Xiao Yu's arrival.

Thousands of rat beasts poured out from all over the building and surrounded Xiao Yu on the roof.

Each one is several times larger than an ordinary rat beast.

Xiao Yu felt relieved, "As expected, it seems that the Rat King is hiding here."

The Black God suit instantly extended from his right hand to his entire body, revealing only his eyes and nose. He unsheathed his SS swords in both hands and instantly came in front of a nearly two-meter-long primary beast general-level rat beast. With a wave of his hand, the rat head flew to the side.

Xiao Yu wielded both swords in his hands, and at least one rat beast was killed with every swing of the sword.

Moreover, the bodies of the killed rat beasts were devoured by the system under the control of his mind.

[Absorb the corpse of the rat beast to obtain 1 wish point! ]

[Absorb the corpse of the rat beast to obtain 25 wish point! ]

[Absorb the corpse of the rat beast to obtain 3 wish point! ]

……

[Absorb the corpse of the rat beast to obtain 100 wish point! ]

Thousands of voices continued to ring in Xiao Yu's mind.

Xiao Yu continued to kill his way down from the rooftop. The further he went down, the higher the obstacles he encountered and the stronger the rat beasts he encountered.

After nearly half an hour of fighting, Xiao Yu finally came down from the rooftop to the 25th floor.

Xiao Yu encountered an unprecedented resistance.

There are only twenty rat beasts on this floor, but each of them is more than three meters long, and the longest three are more than five meters long.

The long black hair of these rat beasts reflected a cold light, as if they had scales.

Xiao Yu was shocked that these rat beasts actually had lord-level strength. The weakest were at primary lord level, with seven of them, and there were ten at intermediate lord level. He actually had three high-level lords. Xiao Yu was not sure which of the three high-level lords was the Rat King, or if they were all Rat Kings.

"Tiger Eagle, this is Xiao Yu. A large number of lord-level rat beasts have been found here. The Rat King should be among them. Call the other war gods for support."

"Tiger Eagle received, immediately pick up the three War Gods to come for support, War God Xiao Yu, please ensure your own safety and do your best to kill."

After the group of rat beasts discovered Xiao Yu, they surrounded him and one by one the lord-level rat beasts launched an attack.

Several sonic booms sounded one after another.

Xiao Yu's mind moved, and his body moved like lightning, instantly passing through every attacking rat beast.

All the attacking rat beasts flew backwards instantly, and countless black and blue blood splashed in the air, forming a blood mist.

Two of the primary lord-level rat beasts were almost split in half and completely lost their lives.

[Absorb the corpse of a primary lord-level rat beast to obtain 2000 wish points! ]

[Absorb the corpse of a primary lord-level rat beast to obtain 2100 wish points! ]

The flesh and blood disappeared, leaving only a pile of scales and other important materials on the ground.

While attacking, Xiao Yu flashed to the materials and with a thought, these materials were stored in the space ring.

Xiao Yu is now only interested in the materials from the lord-level monsters. The walls were smashed into pieces.

The battlefield started from the 25th floor, went all the way to the 28th floor, and then returned to the 25th floor.

"Chiji~"

Three six-meter-tall high-level lord-level rat beasts finally couldn't hold back any longer, and their speed reached supersonic as they pounced towards Xiao Yu.

"Puff~" sonic booms continued to sound.

Xiao Yu moved and accelerated six times in an instant, shaking off the pursuit of the high-level lord and coming to the side of a primary lord-level rat beast. Before the rat beast could react, the SS-level sword in his hand had already slashed across his neck after two consecutive accelerations, and the rat head with a flashing black light flew several meters away.

Xiao Yu moved his left hand, and the body of the primary lord-level rat beast disappeared.

The primary lord-level rat beasts were treated like chickens and ducks to be slaughtered by Xiao Yu, and were dealt with by him first.

The seven primary lords were destroyed by him in less than three minutes and turned into monster materials and entered his space ring.

"War God Xiao Yu, War God Lu Gang, War God Geng Zhi, and War God Wei Chen have arrived."

Three flying fighter planes were hovering above the tall building.

"The Rat King is currently on the 25th floor," Xiao Yu said, "Oh no, be careful, the building is going to collapse."

Just now, a high-level lord-level rat beast smashed four or five weighing walls in a row while chasing Xiao Yu.

The high-rise building seemed to be cut in half. It began to tilt from the 25th floor and collapsed in less than a minute.

The three flying fighter planes hurriedly evaded the surroundings. At the same time, three black shadows jumped out from the flying fighter planes and flew into the high-rise building.

Countless rat beasts dodged to the side.

Thousands of rat beasts in the square downstairs were unable to escape and were crushed into snow and mud.

The twenty-fifth floor suddenly became the top floor of the tall building.

The collapse of the tall building splashed up a cloud of dust. Suddenly, Xiao Yu felt a series of sonic booms behind him, and a figure about five to five meters in size rushed in front of Xiao Yu.

"Puchi~" Xiao Yu, whose nerves had been tense, instantly dodged to the side of a mid-level lord nearby. The SS-level sword in his hand accelerated six times in a row. With the blessing of three times the speed of sound, he instantly killed the mid-level lord rat beast.

This was the tenth lord-level rat beast Xiao Yu had killed. When the building collapsed just now, Xiao Yu took advantage of the panic of some rat beasts and killed two medium-level lord-level rat beasts in succession.

"Lu Gang, Geng Zhi, Wei Chen, the three of you hold back the seven medium-level lord-level rat beasts, and I will deal with the remaining three high-level lord-level rat beasts." Xiao Yu said.

The strongest person in the field is Xiao Yu. Under the sixth and ninth level thunder sword, Xiao Yu's strength is comparable to that of a first-level planetary warrior.

When Lu Gang, who was at the Intermediate War God level, saw the scene of Xiao Yu fighting the rat beast, he thought to himself: "Xiao Yu's strength is definitely at the Invincible War God level, not just the Primary War God level as stated in the information. Moreover, his body movement has reached the realm level, and he is practicing the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade, and has even reached the sixth level! How is this possible?"

Xiao Yu's reputation as a genius war god has long spread throughout China, especially in the circle of war god-level warriors. No one is not familiar with his information.

The three War God-level warriors who saw Xiao Yu's strength responded one after another: "Okay."

Lu Gang took the lead and rushed towards the three intermediate lord-level rat beasts. The three lord-level rat beasts also rushed towards him. The moment they approached, Lu Gang's feet accelerated four times and passed by like a phantom. The moment they passed by, the S-level sword in his hand accelerated four times in a row, and with the sound of sonic booms, he chopped at one of the rat beasts.

After the rat beast was severely damaged, it became even more crazy. Lu Gang also ran downwards with the three lord-level monsters attracted. All the rat beasts that passed by were killed, no matter they were beast general-level, beast soldier-level, or ordinary rat beasts.

The huge lord-level rat beasts rushed all the way, and hundreds of rat beasts that had no time to dodge were knocked and squeezed and fell from the high-rise building and fell into the sea of ​​fire below.

Geng Zhi and Wei Chen also used similar methods to lure the two lord-level monsters down.

On the 25th floor, the only ones left were Xiao Yu's three high-level lord-level rat beasts, who were staring at him, and the many rat beasts that were pouring in from downstairs.

"Pfft~"

"Pfft~"

The fierce battle continued for a long time as the sound explosions continued.

The entire twenty-fifth floor was completely destroyed, as if it had been chopped off by a bulldozer.

One man and three beasts fought from the 25th floor to the 20th floor.

The three high-level lord-level rat beasts had more and more scars on their bodies, and the air on the ground was filled with blood mist splashing from the rat beasts.

"This will end your suffering!" Xiao Yu looked at the three high-level lord-level monsters that were seriously injured and had difficulty moving.

"Pfft~"

With one step forward, his feet accelerated six times in an instant, and Xiao Yu came in front of a high-level lord as if teleporting. At the moment it howled, the SS-level sword pierced into its head through its mouth. It immediately flipped backwards, twitching all over.

"Pfft~"

Then, Xiao Yu accelerated six times and rushed to the left side of a high-level lord whose left eye was severely injured. The SS-type sword in his hand instantly pierced into its head.

"Pfft~"

Two consecutive sonic booms were heard, and the last high-level lord was also killed by Xiao Yu.

With a thought, thousands of rat beast corpses on the ground disappeared, even the flesh and blood in the bodies of the three high-level lord rat beasts disappeared, leaving only three piles of materials, which were stored in the space ring.

When Xiao Yu went down to the eighteenth floor, he saw that Lu Gang had killed two medium-level lord monsters, and the remaining one was also seriously injured.

"Xiao Yu, go downstairs and see if they need help. I'll take care of this right away." Lu Gang said with a smile.

"Okay." Xiao Yu nodded and continued walking down.

The floors below were also in ruins, and Xiao Yu suspected that it was a blessing that the building could still hold up.

On the sixteenth floor, we encountered the corpse of a medium-sized lord monster.

On the fifteenth floor, he encountered Wei Chen, who was entangled by thousands of large rat beasts and covered in blood. The lord-level monster was still intact and not injured, and it attacked Wei Chen from time to time.

Although Wei Chen is also a mid-level war god and uses a war hammer, the level of the martial arts he practices is far inferior to the Nine-Layer Thunder Blade, and his strength is much worse than Lu Gang.

Xiao Yu flashed behind the medium-level lord-level rat beast, and the SS-level sword pierced into the rat beast's back at three times the speed of sound after six accelerations.

Given the defense of a lord-level monster, it would have been impossible for Xiao Yu to pierce its back if it weren't for the SS-level sword he used at supersonic speed.

The sword pierced through the rat beast's back and severed its spinal nerves. The intermediate lord-level rat beast was instantly unable to move.

Xiao Yu flashed in front of the monster, and his sword pierced through its eyes and head at unparalleled speed.

Without the lord's guidance, the rats in front of them fled in all directions.

"Wei Chen, go up there and help Lu Gang. I'll go see how Geng Zhi is doing."

As Xiao Yu continued to rush downstairs, the surging tide of rats actually began to disperse.

When he went down ten floors, he found Geng Zhi leaning against a weighing column with his left arm bandaged, and his combat uniform, which he had taken off, was stained with bright red blood.

"Geng Zhi, you're injured!" Xiao Yu said, taking out emergency medical equipment from the backpack behind him: "I'll help you."

"We were ambushed." Geng Zhi said with a wry smile.

Half an hour later, the rat tide that swept across thousands of miles began to gradually dissipate, and countless rats burrowed back into the ground.

Xiao Yu, Lu Gang and other four war gods returned to the Northern Military Region in flying fighter planes.
