*pant* *pant*
"Damn, this Giant Rat King is really too annoying." Jake kicked the Giant Rat King's body and then made a knife to begin dissecting the Giant Rat King.
"Meow?"
Kate peeked out from the entrance of the pocket to see the situation outside. Seeing that they were so close to the Giant Rat King, Kate silently retracted her head again. There was no way she wanted to see that Giant Rat King.
She hated rat!
"Color?" Dylan asked as he walked closer.
"Hmm, it's blue." Jake grinned and tossed the large crystal to Dylan. "You're the most suitable, so keep it."
"Ok." Dylan never talked a lot and quietly kept the crystal within his pocket. He'll absorb it after they got out of here and it might give unexpected result.
"Let's go."
Kyle glanced at the other man who sprawled in the dirty water and then walked away. He had no intention of helping others if not because this Giant Rat King was useful to him.
"Wait, wait, can I come…?"
Splash!
Dylan simply used the water to make the man slip again while they walked away.
The man was stunned and watched as the group walked away. He noticed that they were walking in the opposite direction of their entrance here. It meant that this group of people wanted to go deeper.
"Crazy," the man murmured and then rushed to their entrance way.
He just wanted to get out of here as fast as possible.
Splash! Splash!
Kyle and the others walked along the waterway. There were no other rats nearby. It seemed that many had been eliminated by those who chose to walk this path before.
After all, they didn't really have any fixed path.
"Meow," Kate peeked out again and called out.
"What is it? Are you hungry?" Kyle arched his eyebrows, looking at the little cat inside his jacket's pocket.
"Meow."
"Then why are you looking at me continuously?" Kyle was amused and wanted to tease the little cat.
"Meow!"
Kate had every reason to believe that this Kyle had never keep cat before. He seemed to only love teasing cat without realizing that her body language was saying no.
"Oh, Little Kitty is still here?" Jake looked at Kate curiously. "When did you go when Kyle was fighting?"
"She's hiding in my pocket." Kyle was clear of Kate's movement.
Pfft!
"This is the first time I see a cat being afraid of rat!" Jake laughed.
Kate's face darkened.
"Meow! Meow! Meow!"
Kate kept on scolding Jake but the other party laughed heartily.
This continued until they saw another rat, in which Kate tactfully hid again. She only appeared when there were no rats around and then gave some water or food for these three to eat.
After all, their supplies were kept inside her space.
Jake looked at Kate with complicated expression. "I would have never expected that there will be such mutation. Seeing these giant rats makes me think that their mutation will only make them more aggressive and bigger."
"There are some other mutations." Kyle looked at the entrance above him. "Let's go back. It's already pretty late."
"Got it. Shall we go back again tomorrow?" Jake's eyes lit up.
They had gained more than 100 crystals in just a day's time hunting. There were still too many rats roaming around in this water channel.
"Yes." Kyle also didn't want to give up on this location yet. Even though the crystal produced most of them than not couldn't be used by them, they could be traded in the future.
"Nice~, and Little Kitty will be our little porter."
Kate rolled her eyes.
"Meow!"
