C211 Chu Yan's Leadership
Now that he heard Chu Yan's words, he understood first.
In this sect mission, the unexpected appearance of the Rat King did indeed cause them to panic for a while, but it was also an opportunity.
One must know that the value of a Flame Teeth Rat King was much higher than that of ordinary Flame Teeth Rat!
Putting aside the effects of the Flame Teeth Rat King's teeth, tail, bones and even the internal organs, just that Rat King's head alone could be brought back to the sect and one would be able to obtain at least twenty Sect Contribution Point.
And this time, the mission of harvesting Fire Spirit Fruit only cost a total of thirty task points.
And just now, to stop the rat swarm, Fan Cheng had also used the frost profound light array on the array.
Since the formation was a one-time consumable, after using it, there was no formation left.
If he wanted to use it again, he would have to wait until he returned, then rearrange the array and store it within.
The Frosted Profound Light Array that he had previously used naturally had to be included in the cost of this mission.
Setting up a Frostbite profound light formation, from the cost of the materials to the cost of hiring, it was no less than eight spirit stones.
As an outer sect disciple, Fan Cheng only had three spirit stones every month. Including his other income, his monthly income was only around four to five spirit stones.
In other words, the Frosted Profound Light Array that he had just used was his cultivation resource for the past two months.
If he were to bring the harvested Fire Spirit Fruit back like this now, then this mission would absolutely cost him more than he could bear and he would lose out greatly.
However, if they were able to kill the Rat King, even if the benefits were shared with everyone, it would definitely make up for the loss this time.
The Immortal Path was extremely difficult. It was difficult for one to have limited talent and resources. Thus, once there was an opportunity, one had to boldly advance forward.
These thoughts flashed across Fan Cheng's mind like a flash of lightning.
At that moment, he knew that this was a rare opportunity that was fleeting. He couldn't help but be hesitant about it.
Therefore, in the next moment, Fan Cheng made up his mind and looked at Chu Yan: That's right, the appearance of the Rat King is a rare opportunity, let's not miss such an opportunity!
The other people, had always been led by Fan Cheng, now that he had made his decision, although Li Yao and the others were surprised, they immediately nodded their heads.
"Don't give the Rat King a chance to scream, the rat swarm is nothing to worry about!" Chu Yan reminded everyone as he retrieved water cutter from the storage bag and rushed towards the Rat King.
Everyone memorized Chu Yan's warning and followed closely.
Amongst the four of them, Fan Cheng's martial skills were proficient in martial arts, so he took out a glove and put it on.
This glove was clearly not an ordinary one. Aside from wrapping around the back of his hand, he only wore it on his index finger.
Chu Yan had previously heard from Mei Yunpeng that Fan Cheng's unique skill was Small Non-Phase Point Star Finger, so now he guessed that this glove was meant for his martial skill.
Of the other three, Li Yao used a blade, while Xu Ya and Dou Huanhuan both used swords.
After the chaos from before, the squeaking rats were regrouped.
However, just as they regained a bit of order, Chu Yan sprinkled another handful of the Frigid Soul Grass powder on them.
Moreover, this time Chu Yan might as well not do it, and continued to throw out many of them.
The dark purple powder spread out, without any effect on Chu Yan and the rest, but to the Flame Teeth Rat, this powder that exploded out, was like their doomsday.
In an instant, the rat swarm once again descended into complete chaos.
The Flame Teeth Rat that was hit, was immediately driven mad by the intense pain. Its eyes revealed a blood-red light, and it opened its bloody mouth, regardless of whether it was its companion or not, and bit down.
The other Flame Teeth Rat wanted to dodge, but hundreds of big rats were piled up in a heap, some ran over to this side, while others wanted to run over to that side. The scene became even more chaotic, none of the Flame Teeth Rat paid attention to Chu Yan and the others.
In an instant, a dangerous realm where several hundred Flame Teeth Rat were clearly in front of him, was actually created when Chu Yan used the Soul Absorbing Cold Grass Flower to sprinkle out a field of no-man's land.
Fan Cheng and the rest suddenly felt their horizons expanding, and the way they looked at Chu Yan also became more and more different.
Before inviting Chu Yan to participate in this mission, they had always felt that with their cultivation level, it should be them who took care of Chu Yan.
However, as they continued to force Mei Yunpeng to retreat, calmly escaping from the encirclement of rats, and then advancing forward instead of retreating, their target was the Rat King. Now, they all had their own forces as they split a path through the rat swarm, everyone realized that it was not Chu Yan who took care of them, but Chu Yan who helped them at the critical moment!
Unknowingly, Fan Cheng and the others no longer viewed Chu Yan as a junior who was in a lower realm than them, but instead viewed him as someone who was in the same realm as them. In their hearts, they even subconsciously asked for Chu Yan's opinion when they encountered any problems.
As cultivators, Fan Cheng and the others were probably in a higher realm than Chu Yan, but in terms of the outcome of the battle and the timing of their retreat, they were far from being able to match up to Chu Yan, who had led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack and destroy the land.
Just as everyone was in a daze, Chu Yan shouted loudly, "Senior brother Fan, Senior brother Li, burn the incense!"
Everyone came to their senses and immediately realised that the Rat King's scream had calmed down the chaotic rat swarm by quite a bit. At that moment, the remaining hundreds of Flame Teeth Rat were quickly gathering under the Rat King's command.
Following Chu Yan's instructions, Fan Cheng and Li Yao quickly lit the incense again.
In an instant, a strange fragrance wafted out. The rat swarm that had already appeared slightly calmer immediately became chaotic once again.
"Throw the incense out, as far away as possible!" Chu Yan gave the order.
Unknowingly, Fan Cheng and Li Yao had already gotten used to Chu Yan giving orders.
Hearing his words, the two raised their hands and threw the incense in different directions.
All of a sudden, the rats were in chaos again. One of them went in the direction of the two incense sticks, while the other went in the direction of the incense burner.
Chu Yan added fuel to the fire, picked up a handful of the Soul Absorbing Cold Grass powder, and scattered it towards the group of mice that were hesitating.
Immediately, screams filled the air. The remaining hundreds of Flame Teeth Rat, other than the ones that were severely injured and unable to move due to the corrosion, had all run away cleanly.
The shocked expressions of Fan Cheng and the rest could not even be described with words.
If Chu Yan was not present today, they would encounter a situation like this, where they had no choice but to escape. Even if they used all of their trump cards, taking out all of their trump cards to fight against Chu Yan would still result in a tragic victory, and some would even die in the end.
But now, with Chu Yan's grasp of the situation and the effective use of resources, those hundreds of Flame Teeth Rat who made people flee like the wind, had all actually fled in panic. It was not a problem at all.
As for them, they were now even more unharmed. Facing the Rat King, they had an absolute advantage of five against one!
