Watching the white-haired man-eating rat flee frantically, and the half a rat tail beneath the dagger, Taotie suddenly had an ominous feeling that he had caused trouble...
Taotie blinked, hesitating for 0.01 seconds.
He gave up on chasing the white-haired man-eating rat.
He chose to turn around and go back to report the incident.
Because if Taotie ran, his own pursuit could easily become a one-way trip. Who knows how many more man-eating rats of the same kind awaited him in the cave ahead, ready to devour him as he delivered himself like a meal on wheels.
One wrong move, and he could be gnawed to shreds.
The kind where not even the bones would be left.
The danger posed by a group of man-eating rats far exceeded that of the giant serpent he had previously encountered.
With the giant serpent, as long as he was careful enough and reacted quickly, he wouldn't get hurt.
But being surrounded by a group of man-eating rats meant almost certain death.
