Chapter 41 - Cute Little Rats
Chapter 41: Cute Little Rats
After ending his conversation with Alice, Enoch fell into contemplation. How should he face the Netherworld’s invasion?
He had 100 Berserk Rats and 30 Pea Shooters, a certain advantage in terms of combat power, and could even be considered one of the strongest Divine Tree Masters.
Originally, the Netherworld’s invasion was nothing to him.
But now, his opponent’s troops were equivalent to almost half of Maka Town’s population. How many enemies were there? Would there be mutated zombies? If yes, how many mutated zombies would there be?
These were the things that Enoch was most concerned and worried about.
“Currently, the exploration of the Netherworld is still at a very shallow stage. Besides the zombies, are there any other creatures in the black fog? There are many unknown factors.
“Not only that, but the mutated zombies already possess a certain level of intelligence, and their battle prowess has also increased. Does this mean that they will continue to evolve?
“Just like how the Divine Tree Masters can raise their own strength by cultivating the Divine Tree, the zombies and other creatures that might exist other than the zombies may grow up through certain methods.”
The more Enoch thought about it, the more he realized that the Divine Tree Masters’ situation was actually quite difficult.
Zombies, especially the mutated ones, were the black fog’s products, so they could move around in the black fog. There were a lot of resources in the Netherworld, especially the Blood Essence Ore, which seemed to be of great use to the zombies.
In this way, the benefits that zombies could get in the early stage were actually far greater than that of the Divine Tree Masters.
In addition, the Divine Tree Masters didn’t have any supplies, in the beginning, so they could only rely on rain and grass to survive. Many people were malnourished and had completely lost their fighting ability.
These people would be the first batch of people to be eliminated after the Netherworld’s invasion.
In other words, the most important purpose of the Netherworld’s invasion this time was to eliminate them.
“Many people will die this time!”
Enoch immediately determined the true purpose of the Netherworld’s invasion.
The first invasion of the Netherworld, or rather, every invasion, was a trial. The strong were selected, and the weak were eliminated.
Currently, there were many Divine Tree Masters who were unwilling to take the risk, but they didn’t have any good talent. They only knew how to muddle along and wait for death.
And these people were the existences that would be eliminated during the first Netherworld invasion.
Although they didn’t know what this Divine Tree Game was trying to do, one thing was certain—it absolutely didn’t need the weak!
It only wanted the strong. Therefore, the people that could become the strong would be eliminated during the first Netherworld invasion.
It was a very realistic approach.
“Forget it!” Enoch shook his head, throwing all the messy thoughts to the back of his mind. He then raised his hand, patted his face, and let out a long breath.
“It’s useless to think about this now. Let’s think about how we should face the residents of Maka Town later,” Enoch said in a half-joking tone, and a relaxed smile appeared on his face.
Nonetheless, Enoch knew that this was not a simple matter.
A small town had at least a few thousand people. Even if Maka Town was a small town, it should have more than 3,000 people.
Most of these people should have turned into zombies, and there would definitely be mutated ones there. That meant that he would have to face thousands of zombies and a certain number of mutated zombies.
“It’s not easy to deal with them.”
Enoch sorted out the current situation and immediately frowned.
Before this, he really hadn’t expected that he would have to face so many zombie attacks during his first Netherworld invasion.
Thinking of this, Enoch gave a helpless and bitter smile.
“There are still about 20 hours left. Let’s hurry up and move!”
As Enoch spoke, his gaze fell on the black fog that enveloped the surroundings.
The black fog was like an ancient behemoth that had its mouth wide open, waiting to swallow everything.
No one knew what kind of terror was hidden in the depths of the darkness, but one thing was certain—this was just the beginning.
After 20 hours, the enemies that appeared from the surging darkness would annihilate a considerable number of Divine Tree Masters.
At that time, those who could survive would definitely be outstanding figures among the Divine Tree Masters.
“The strong prey on the weak. Survival of the fittest. This doomsday is becoming crueler and crueler.”
Enoch let out a long sigh, shook his head, and laid down on the ground. He wanted to rest for now.
The Netherworld would invade in 20 hours, so now was the best time to rest. He tried his best to adjust his condition to the best.
Since he did not know what kind of enemies would appear during the invasion, adjusting his condition was important. He had to maintain his peak physical and mental strength.
Only in this way could he be in the best state to face all the possible dangers.
Therefore, Enoch immediately lay on the ground and closed his eyes.
Time passed little by little…
A gentle breeze blew on Enoch’s face, and a rich fragrance of herbs spread out from the tip of Enoch’s nose.
The gentle sunlight fell on Enoch through the barrier of the black fog. It was warm as if a gentle girl was caressing every inch of Enoch’s skin.
All the worry and nervousness that Enoch had accumulated ever since entering the Divine Tree Game was released at that moment.
Although Enoch appeared to be very relaxed from the beginning, his heart was actually full of worry and nervousness. After all, this was a scene that he had never seen before. He believed that anyone would have similar emotions when they faced them for the first time.
It was just that Enoch had been forcefully suppressing these emotions because he knew that he couldn’t panic now. This would only put him in more danger, so Enoch buried these negative emotions at the bottom of his heart.
But now, Enoch could finally heave a sigh of relief as he had already done his best.
Everything else was left to fate!
With these thoughts in mind, Enoch fell into a deep sleep.
The sound of his even breathing came from his nasal cavity and attracted lightning and the others who were playing nearby.
Lightning and the Berserk Rats surrounded Enoch. Numerous pairs of big watery eyes were filled with curiosity as they looked at Enoch.
However, they did not disturb Enoch. Instead, they stood around Enoch like small guards, protecting him.
At that moment, everything around them became quiet.
Only the black fog in the Netherworld was still churning and becoming more and more restless.
