Chapter 288 - Chapter 287 Fight or no?

"Well, we are going to fight, yes?" Tetsuo asked.

"No. Currently, I am partially crippled being stuck with you. For whatever reason, I can barely muster the strength to keep both of us from falling over. Not to mention how low my Qi feels." Rex answered truthfully.

Tetsuo felt that he was stronger. He did not know the reason why. The duo just accepted the fact that a Mutant King Acid Rat was in the Third Realm for now.

"Currently, we need to get the group and try to move around the Acid Rats. When we finally manage to do so. The first thing is to find some Nature Qi and hope that it will break us apart long enough to get some good rest." Rex tried his best to hold the anger inside of him.

"We need to go. Hurry Forward!" Tetsuo said happily.

Rex still found this extremely funny. He was going to allow Tetsuo to do this for now.

In the afternoon, the duo arrived back at the camp. Everyone was anxious to hear what the duo had found.

"There is a Mutant King Acid Rat in the colony. We are going to go around them for now. Everyone prepare for a massive track around the forest." Tetsuo spoke first.

All of the Fox Tribe members were disgusted by having to go around with the humans. This route was going to show their weaknesses and strengths.

"Can we not just kill it now? We could do it." A Foxman spoke.

"I could kill it myself," Rex spoke up, "However, being in this position has currently partially crippled me. Instead of fighting without any protection from me. I would rather go around and find a way to make it to your tribe."

Bella raised her hand.

"What is it, Bella?" Rex asked.

"How much longer of a trip would this way take?"

"Depends if there are any gaps between the colonies around the forest. The Acid Rats are like weak protectors. Every time they get stronger, the environment changes with them." Tetsuo answered.

Everyone packed their things. The Foxmen were very upset. That was nothing for right now. If the time came to use that against humans, these foxmen would gladly do it.

The track around the forest was longer than any of them anticipated. First, the Acid Rats had become a singular colony because of the Mutant King. Second, rain started to fall going into the second day and lasted for three days.

There were a couple of minutes of no rainfall. It would return and was quite devastating to the travelers.

Lastly, the forest seemed to be on edge from what Rex could see. He was not sure why. He felt that this Mutant King was not the only problem around here.

Two weeks had passed since the group had tried to circle the forest. No matter what they did, not a single person could get close enough to run across towards the forest.

That night, loud thumping was heard. The guards all positioned themselves close to the tents.

They saw the Mutant King Acid Rat. A single drop of saliva turned the ground to black, and no smell was from the ground.

"Are we going to fight?" One of the guards whispered.

"No, too, risky. We do not have enough strength to take down this Mutant King." Another one whispered.

The Mutant King turned his body around, facing towards the camouflaged camp. The guards saw what looked like breastplate on the Mutant King's chest.

Two more Acid Rats came up. These two were almost Mutant King Acid Rats themselves. The guards covered each other's mouths. Each person had two hands on top of their mouths to prevent any noise from coming out.

The Mutant King glanced over towards the camouflaged camp. His instincts telling him to grab them and take them to the center.

He ignored the feeling and continued forward. Once the guards saw the Mutant King leave. They immediately went inside Rex's tent.

Once the situation had been explained. Rex and Tetsuo left to go see the Mutant King.

They found him standing on a patch of black ground. Before the Mutant King disappeared, the Mutant King turned its head. Rex and Tetsuo saw a glimmer of hope in its eyes.

The duo went forward. Even they felt safe stepping into the black ground. Rex knew how uncomfortable it should be. Even if you raised some to be Acid Rat Kings. The black ground poisoned by the saliva would still hurt the master.

"Perhaps because of the Nine Tailed Fox I saw." Rex kept the thought to himself.

The duo walked into the forest. When they did, they saw a One Tailed Fox vs a massive carnivore.

"Can we help or not?" Tetsuo asked, almost pleading.

"We can." Rex answered.

Tetsuo then jumped with a massive kick. It connected on the skull of the carnivore. It then focused on the duo instead of the One Tailed Fox.

"Hurry back." Tetsuo said.

The One Tailed Fox ran towards the center of the forest.

"Here is to my Victory!" Tetsuo tried to dance.

Rex slapped Tetsuo. Rex was not going to dance with Tetsuo. He was already on his wit's end being like this. He wanted to see how much of his strength was actually sealed currently.

"This is my fight. Do not do anything." Rex spoke angrily.

"I do not appreciate that tone." Tetsuo snarled.

"Says the man who likes to dance in front of their opponent." Rex rolled his eyes.

The duo found themselves being laughed at by the carnivore. He now wanted to wait and nip them both together.

Before he could, the Mutant King Acid Rat came from underground and ate the carnivore.

The Mutant King went back.

Rex just looked at the scene in front of him and became angrier. He needed to see how much strength he had actually lost.

"No fair." Rex was angered beyond belief now.

"We both do not fight. I LIKE THAT!" Tetsuo laughed.
