Chapter 69: Giving the Berserk Rats Courage

Although Lightning had been in the midst of teleportation, it sensed some changes in Enoch’s heart.

It made the 10 Berserk Rats’ courage rise as well, and they all wanted to do something for Enoch!

“Squeak!” (Since Master Enoch is so brave, we won’t lose either!)

“Squeak!” (We must do something for him. Master Enoch’s speculation is definitely right. There must be something in this black fog!)

“Squeak squeak!” (That’s why we must find the culprit and make them die under our sharp claws!)

“Squeak squeak!” (Yes! Everything is for Master Enoch!)

The silly expressions of the Berserk Rats led by Lightning turned solemn.

At present, they could sense that their blood was boiling. Even if they were not together with Enoch now, they could still feel that they were connected.

Because of this, Lightning knew that it had to overcome all its fear. Even if they were facing an unknown existence, they had to complete this mission beautifully.

The Berserk Rats’ mission was very simple. They would enter the Netherworld and find the mastermind that controlled everything.

Although they did not have a specific target yet, they were careful and filled with courage due to Enoch’s courage boost.

The Netherworld gave people a gloomy and terrifying feeling, but it was as easy for the little fellows to pass through as if it was their own back garden. If not for the black fog’s obstruction, they would be able to enjoy themselves inside completely!

Soon…

A Berserk Rat noticed that there was something strange with their surroundings. Their fur and nerve senses were far superior to that of an ordinary person.

Especially in this black fog, their nerve senses had reached an unprecedented height. The slightest noise in their surroundings would cause their hair to stand on end!

“Squeak!”

A Berserk Rat suddenly fixed its eyes on something. Then, all the hair on its body stood up while it brandished its sharp claws, ready to attack.

When the other Berserk Rats saw this, their eyes followed its gaze. Although they could not see anything in the extremely dense black fog, their senses would not lie. When they looked in the same direction at the same time… the hair on their backs could not help but stand up on its own!

Lightning realized that the target they were looking for was probably in that direction. The other party was not far from the teleportation formation, and this location was submerged in darkness, with even less visibility.

The enemy must know the Netherworld like the back of their hand to be able to hide in this defensive line.

Although the Berserk Rats were not experienced with analyses and didn’t have the brain capacity to make complicated thoughts, they would never forget the mission Enoch had given them.

They just needed to be careful and get close enough to unravel the mystery.

Thus, after Lightning and the other rats communicated with their forepaws, they quickly scattered and headed in the target’s direction.

The purpose of this was first to ensure that the mission was completed as soon as possible, and secondly, to ensure the safety of each of the rats.

If they were wiped out, then the mission would be declared a failure, and their lives would be lost.

Thus, this method was obviously the safest.

The Berserk Rats circled from different directions and arrived at the designated location in about ten seconds.

10 meters…

Even the Berserk Rats’ hearts began to beat violently!

8 meters…

They knew that this mastermind definitely had absolute strength, enough to crush them!

This level of power was definitely not something that this team could achieve!

Self-awareness began to sprout in the Berserk Rats’ hearts.

However, the courage that Enoch gave them would never dissipate. That was why they were able to continue moving forward despite knowing that they were in danger!

6 meters…

They were already very close to their target, but there was no sense of oppression from the outermost area. In fact, they even felt that the target in the center was… not strong!?

What was going on? Could it be that the other party was luring the Berserk Rats?

Lightning’s anxiety made its entire body tremble slightly. It was as if it had been electrocuted and immediately sensed the danger.

This reaction resonated with the other 10 Berserk Rats.

They were already close to their target but retreated more than ten meters in an instant!

It wasn’t because they were afraid. They were just uncertain whether the other party was luring them. If they went up now, they would undoubtedly be courting death.

Even Enoch had said that the one commanding these zombies should be very powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to control them.

In other words, when the Berserk Rats were six meters away from the zombie leader, they assumed that the other party was luring them.

This was only their assumption, but they increased the difficulty of their task due to their cautious nature.

Once they failed their first attempt, the most important thing was how to take the next step.

“Squeak squeak!” (We’ll go together. If we’re not back in five minutes, you’ll form two teams. One team will immediately head back to the Divine Tree Island and inform Master Enoch.)

After Lightning gave its orders, it didn’t wait for the other Berserk Rats to reply and immediately jumped out!

The depressing atmosphere may have rendered them unable to make a decision, but they still had to do what they had to do.

Enoch was not there to command them, so they didn’t feel any confidence in doing anything. Fear was only a part of it. Most importantly, they didn’t have Enoch as a trump card to hold down the fort in their hearts. Hence, they didn’t dare to make any big moves, and it wasn’t easy for them to come up with a plan.

Enoch would be super happy if he saw them coming up with such a plan.

Whoosh!

At that moment, two fast-moving black shadows shuttled through the black fog. The distance between them and the target was shortened by five meters from ten meters!

3 meters…

2 meters…

Half a meter!

Lightning finally saw the target clearly.

It was a short, shriveled-up zombie with no combat ability. It even gave people the feeling that it was a weak skeleton.

It was wearing a shabby tuxedo, and the only hair on its head lacked moisture.

The Commander hadn’t ordered any zombies to protect it, so it was all alone. It had commanded all the zombies it controlled and attracted to invade Enoch’s island.

The Commander probably didn’t expect that the opposing Divine Tree Master was not only resisting the invasion but had also sent Lightning to claim its life!

Lightning’s sharp, sword-like claws instantly cut off the connection between the Commander’s head and its body before the latter could react!

The Commander’s head fell to the ground and disappeared along with the berserk attributes it had bestowed to the zombies it commanded.
