Doomsday game, my supplies increased tenfold

As the mutant rats fell one by one, the only third-level mutant rat also realized that something was wrong. The creatures that they used as food seemed to be treating them as their prey. Although it did not care much about the lives of these first-level mutant rats, as a leader, it would not allow its people to be slaughtered so silently. It immediately emitted an unusual sound wave to disperse the first-level mutant rats to a safe enough place outside the building, while it and the second-level mutant rats continued to move forward.

The magic circle's bleeding ability is no longer able to cause fatal damage to the second-level mutant rats, let alone the third-level ones.

The leader of the rat pack was extremely cautious. He first sent out a few second-level mutant rats to investigate the situation, while he followed behind.

When Xiao Qi saw a furry rat head popping out, the laser gun in his hand was ready to fire, aimed at the head of the second-level mutant rat.

The intelligence of the second-level mutant rats is several times that of the first-level ones. They sensed the threat posed by Xiao Qi and some of them did not dare to step forward easily. Instead, they stared at Xiao Qi from the edge of the rooftop, waiting for an opportunity to kill this delicious upright ape with one blow.

"You all have a strategy? Where's your boss?"

Xiao Qi looked at the two second-level mutant rats that were sent out as vanguards and smiled. He didn't mind chatting with them before sending them away. After all, the bleeding effect would always exist. If he let them stay in the magic circle for a while longer, the threat to him would be smaller.

I don’t know if the two mutant mice understood what Xiao Qi said. I just saw their two scarlet little eyes turning around, and I don’t know if they were thinking or something.

"Why, your boss doesn't show up because he's afraid of my strength? So you're just cannon fodder..."

The two mutant rats seemed to understand something about this sentence, because Xiao Qi clearly noticed that their bodies stiffened, and even though their expressions were difficult to read, a hint of hesitation and astonishment could be seen on their faces.

"Okay, let's stop chatting here. It seems that you are nothing more than cannon fodder that he can abandon at any time. Then I have no choice but to send you off..."

As soon as the words fell, lasers continued to emit sharp flames in the dark night. Although the fur of the second-level mutant rats was already very thick and difficult to penetrate, their movement became somewhat slow due to the consumption of the magic circle, so almost every laser could hit them. The damage caused was enough to send them away.

After getting rid of these two mutant rats, two new ones soon poked their heads out from the stairs. However, this time they did not approach Xiao Qi. Instead, they hid most of their bodies in the corridor, with only half of their heads exposed, as if they were afraid of the laser.

"Why, are you also cannon fodder sent by the boss?"

Xiao Qi once again aimed the laser gun at the new rat heads, but he didn't expect that they would retract their heads before Xiao Qi pulled the trigger.

Xiao Qi just felt that they were worthy of being second-level mutant rats, as they knew how to be afraid and hide. Unfortunately, this could not change the outcome that they had to die.

"Won't your leader kill you if you desert? Don't hide... it's useless."

Xiao Qi moved forward slowly. The sound coming from far away made the two mutant rats shudder and look at each other. They obviously understood everything Xiao Qi had just said. They were a little shaken and didn't want to charge into battle and be cannon fodder.

"No, no, don't kill us, please, this is all ordered by the boss, we dare not do anything to you! We are just too hungry, just too hungry..."

Xiao Qi didn't expect that he could actually force the mutant rat to speak, but in fact the mutant rat didn't know that Xiao Qi could understand what they were saying. They just witnessed that the first-level brothers died without being touched, and the second-level colleagues didn't live long before being ruthlessly killed. They didn't think that they had any special qualities to survive Xiao Qi's hands.

Besides, they did understand what Xiao Qi said, and there was no need for them to be used as a tool by the boss. They had been following him for such a long time and couldn't even have a full meal. Shouldn't they work hard to find food? In addition, they had to contribute more than half of the food they had finally found to the boss. They were already very resentful, and now they were being used as scapegoats...

Xiao Qi's footsteps came to an abrupt halt, as if he had not expected that these mutant rats would actually speak to him. After all, not many people should know that he could communicate with most creatures, right?

She wanted to pretend that she didn't hear them and deal with it directly, but their IQ was really high. When they noticed that Xiao Qi's movements paused for a moment, they realized that Xiao Qi could understand what they were saying. As for the reason, it didn't matter. Surviving was the top priority.

"You..you can hear us, right? We, we can make a deal. I can tell you how to kill the boss easily, and you just let us go."

This time, Xiao Qi was really tempted. After all, the concepts of the second-order mutant rat and the third-order mutant rat were very different. It was like the first-order mutant rat was not only brainless but also could be killed by bleeding, but the second-order one could already beg for mercy. If he didn't have any powerful means, he might not be able to kill the third-order mutant rat.

"Oh? But you are nothing to me, and you are not qualified to make a deal with me... If you really want to stay alive, tell me your information first. If the so-called method can really successfully kill the third-level mutant rats, I will consider letting you go. Otherwise, it shouldn't be difficult for me to find you and kill you after escaping."

Although these two second-level mutant rats had no intention of deceiving Xiao Qi, they were still frightened when they heard Xiao Qi say this and nodded repeatedly, easily betraying their boss.

"Of course, of course. We have all seen your strength. How could we possibly lie to you? There are two ways to kill him. The first is to go into his lair and destroy his energy core. This will greatly reduce his strength and make his injuries unhealable. However, there are many powerful mutant rats in the cave, many of which are more powerful than us... In addition, you can use a special potion to kill him. Here is the formula. Here, here you go."

“Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining bait recipe*1—a poison that can lure any kind of animal and kill it.”

Xiao Qi looked at the yellowed and wrinkled formula in his hand with some surprise, put it away calmly, raised an eyebrow at them, and took out two scarlet pills, which didn't look like good things.

"Eat this."

"This...this is..."

"poison."

Hearing Xiao Qi's words, the two mutant rats looked at each other in horror, obviously unable to accept Xiao Qi's behavior of destroying the bridge after crossing it.

"Sir...we have told you how to kill the boss, why do you want to kill us?"

Seeing the human-like sadness on the two mice's faces, Xiao Qi couldn't help but feel very funny, but he held back.

"Don't worry. Find me before midnight tomorrow night and I will help you detoxify. But if you betray me and I can't kill the third-order mutant rat, then you will have to die in his place."

Xiao Qi's tone was full of temptation, and it was impossible to tell whether it was true or false. No matter how smart the mutant rats were, they were still not smart enough when facing humans, a species that could use threats and lies.

What's more, even if there is a 99% chance that what Xiao Qi said is false, they dare not gamble with their lives.

They took the pill with trembling hands and swallowed it with great effort.

Xiao Qi nodded in satisfaction after seeing them obediently swallow the pills that actually had no effect.

The two second-level mutant rats were instructed to crawl away from Xiao Qi and brought their boss an untrue news.

"Boss, it's not that my fifth brother and I are unwilling to fight. You didn't see the miserable plight of the sixth and seventh brothers. They were killed before they could do anything. This human is not simple. We have no way to compete with him. Even...even the fifth brother's ear and my hand were cut off in the blink of an eye. We can't afford to provoke such a terrible person..."
