Chapter 492: Focusing on Holding Back

The group of mountain rats encountered in the wilderness and the group of mountain rats encountered in the dark mine cave, although the number is similar, the feeling is completely different. The mine cave was already depressing, and now it was blocked by countless mountain rats, densely packed with gray and yellow, and countless eyes staring at me in the darkness, which made people shudder.

Seeing that the demon monkey was forced to retreat step by step by himself, and that he was about to win, Li Shengbo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to make another effort to kill the demon monkey, and then get rid of Qingyang and destroy the corpse, but he didn't expect that at this time, a sudden change occurred, and a large group of mountain rats suddenly appeared.

Li Shengbo was very clear about his own strength. One or two hundred mountain rats could barely be dealt with, but seven or eight hundred came at once, even if he was exhausted to death, he couldn't deal with it. Moreover, he had just experienced a fierce battle, and his true energy, spiritual thoughts, and physical strength were severely depleted. If he wanted to completely kill Qingyang and the monster in front of him, it would be impossible without paying a certain price. Injuries were minor. By then, his strength was damaged, and it would be even more impossible to escape the encirclement of the mountain rats.

I didn't expect my luck to be so bad. I misjudged Qingyang's strength, but now I am about to succeed, but I encounter a group of mountain rats. I am so unlucky.

Seeing the mountain rats approaching, Li Shengbo couldn't help but stop the attack. He rolled his eyes and said to Qingyang: "Brother Qingyang, after all, we are internally conflicted. Now we are surrounded by the mountain rats, so we should unite to face the outside world. How about we fight out of the encirclement of the mountain rats and then settle the grievances between us?"

"Unite to face the outside world? Wait until these mountain rats are driven away, so that Brother Li can deal with me without distraction? Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" Qingyang sneered.

Seeing that Qingyang refused to be fooled, Li Shengbo said again: "Now we are surrounded by the mountain rats. No matter who wins or loses, they will eventually be killed by the rats. Isn't Brother Qingyang afraid of dying at the hands of the rats?"

Qingyang was unmoved and said coldly: "Brother Li, you don't need to worry about whether I live or die."

Seeing that Qingyang was unmoved, Li Shengbo couldn't help but get anxious and said: "Brother Qingyang, I was wrong before. I shouldn't let greed blind my eyes. Now I regret it as a brother. Anyway, you don't have any losses. Let's just pretend that this thing never happened. As long as you drive away the mountain rats, I won't bother you anymore, and you will forget what happened today. We will not interfere with each other in the future."

At this time, Li Shengbo already had some regrets. If he had known that Qingyang was so strong and would encounter a group of mountain rats at a critical moment, he would not have acted so rashly. No matter how indispensable the spirit stone is, no matter how important the foundation-building pill is, it is not as important as one's own life. If one loses his life here today, then everything will be over.

Li Shengbo is also most worried about one thing, that is, Qingyang will hold him back. If Qingyang does not interfere with him, he still has a 40% to 50% chance of breaking out of the encirclement of the group of shocking mountain rats. He is afraid that Qingyang will be angry about his sneak attack, harming others and not benefiting himself, and will hold him back. Then he, Li Shengbo, will be dead.

Qingyang snorted coldly and said, "It's too late to regret now. My principles of doing things have always been very clear. I will not offend others if others do not offend me. If others offend me, I will definitely offend them. Senior Brother Li sneak attacked me, and we are already enemies of life and death. Naturally, it's either me or you."

Seeing that Qingyang was determined and refused to shake hands with him, Li Shengbo knew that it was useless for him to say anything more. He was also a decisive person, so he paused and rushed towards one of the mines before the group of shocking mountain rats surrounded him.

Since the two sides had torn their faces apart, how could Qingyang let him go easily? With a thought, he made the iron-armed monkey flash in front of Li Shengbo and punched Li Shengbo. It seemed that he felt that this was not safe enough, and then he commanded more than a hundred alcoholic bees to surround him, blocking all of Li Shengbo's retreat routes.

You are still attacking me at this time? Li Shengbo was so angry that his lungs were about to explode, and he said angrily: "Boy, you are harming others and not benefiting yourself, you will not die well!"

Qingyang did not respond, but just laughed coldly a few times, and then summoned the remaining alcoholic bees to protect him. If the group of mountain rats launched an attack, they would definitely not distinguish between enemies and friends. Don't hurt others and hurt yourself. Li Shengbo didn't die, but you suffered first.

Enemies are particularly jealous when they meet. The group of mountain rats seemed to recognize that Li Shengbo and Qingyang were the murderers who had killed countless of their people. Now that they fell into their hands, how could they let them go easily? Without the need for the Rat King to issue an order, the attack was launched.

Li Shengbo and the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey were powerful, and at least five or six hundred Mountain Shocking Rats rushed towards them. Five or six hundred Mountain Shocking Rats were not a small number. Under normal circumstances, each person would only have to face two or three hundred. Although the pressure was great, they could barely hold on for a while.

But now was not a normal situation, because the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey was also a demon beast. There was a natural level suppression between demon beasts. Facing a third-level demon beast, those unranked Mountain Shocking Rats were like facing a prehistoric giant beast. They could hardly stand steadily. How could they dare to launch an attack?

The situation of the first and second-level demon beasts was slightly better, but they did not dare to provoke the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey casually. However, there was a third-level Rat King supervising the battle behind them, so they could not retreat. Since they did not dare to provoke the Iron Arm Spirit Monkey, who was also a demon beast, they could only deal with the human monk Li Shengbo, so Li Shengbo was in a tragedy. Almost all of the five or six hundred Mountain Shocking Rats regarded him as the main target.

The thing that Li Shengbo least wanted to happen happened. Not only did he have to deal with five or six hundred mountain rats, but he also had to avoid the attacks of the iron-armed monkey. The pressure he was under was imaginable. It didn't take long for him to be in danger. He was almost cut in the neck by the mountain rats several times.

The situation on Qingyang's side was much better. Although there were also two hundred mountain rats surrounding him, Qingyang did not seek to kill the enemy but to protect himself. At the same time, there were hundreds of alcoholic bees protecting him, so he was relatively easy to deal with. These mountain rats couldn't do anything to him for the time being.

After almost being in danger again, Li Shengbo finally couldn't help it and shouted: "Brother Qingyang, killing people is not enough. Do you really want to kill them all?"

"It's not that I want to kill them all. When you tried to kill me, you should have thought that this day would come. Everything is your own fault." Qingyang said coldly.

Li Shengbo had just exchanged punches with the Iron-armed Monkey, and before he could stand firm, a Mountain Rat pounced on him and bit his thigh, almost breaking it. He punched the Mountain Rat on the head. Although he killed the Mountain Rat, he staggered and almost fell. It was obvious that the injury just now had seriously affected his movements.
