Chapter 739 Silver Moon Lake
Chapter 739 Silver Moon Lake
Fourth Sister knew there was a lake here, after all, the Rat King had told her that the palace was at the bottom of the lake.
But despite that, I never expected it to be Silver Moon Lake, which is no ordinary lake.
Although the fourth sister has not been in this world for very long, her long period of travel has given her a certain understanding of this forest.
For example, the six demon kings whose names resound throughout the forest are the highest beings in the forest, and their fame is widespread. Therefore, even if Fourth Sister doesn't pay close attention, she will still get news about them from other demons.
For example, the Rat King is one of them!
Among these six demon kings, there is a giant demon serpent known as the Blue-White Fang, which dwells in this Silver Moon Lake.
Or rather, Silvermoon Lake is its territory, and also a forbidden zone for other creatures.
Having been focused on the journey, Fourth Sister only now realized that she had arrived at Silver Moon Lake.
Wait, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the cowardly Rat King actually dared to move his home to be a neighbor of another monster king underground.
Isn't it afraid of being swallowed whole?
Fourth Sister felt something was strange, but what she didn't know was that the Rat King's thought process was exactly the opposite of hers.
When the Rat King was in his palace, he was the kind of guy who was so happy that he forgot about home and only knew how to eat, drink and have fun all day long.
Even so, how could the clever creature remain oblivious to what was happening around it? While it was indulging in its own pleasures, it did not forget to send out its remaining subordinates to gather information for itself.
And that's why he learned of the monster uprising in the forest. He was somewhat surprised by this. He didn't know about the other monsters, but he hadn't given the order to attack his own swarm of rats.
Could it be that she's in heat?
The Rat King instinctively thought it was an accident, but due to his timid nature, he had developed a cautious mindset. Even though he thought it might be an accident, he still sent several of his loyal henchmen to gather information.
It's worth mentioning that although the Rat King is known as the king of rats, he doesn't directly manage the entire forest's rat population. This is because there are simply too many rats in the forest for him to manage, and also because the mobile palace simply can't accommodate them all.
Therefore, the Rat King's management of these rats was more laissez-faire, letting them fend for themselves, while he himself only held the title of nominal leader.
This has many advantages, such as not having to provide food for those good-for-nothings, and others being unable to get information from them. More importantly...
This perfectly demonstrates its status!
While other rats huddle in dark, damp underground burrows, he lives in a mobile palace with abundant resources and a comfortable environment.
It's obvious which is better!
This is the true Rat King!
Of course, although these rats have built many nests, they are still a large group, and their actions and lives are still within a well-defined framework.
However, unexpectedly, the monsters' agitation broke this framework, which surprised the Rat King and led him to take the next step.
Getting back to the main point, the Rat King sent out spies, but to its surprise, these subordinates never returned, which immediately made it wary.
So it sent its subordinates to continue gathering intelligence while searching for a safe place to avoid the war.
Then... it set its sights on Silvermoon Lake.
To others, this might seem like a very unwise choice, but the clever creature believes that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
The moving palace has the ability to shield one's senses. Unless one is deliberately looking for it, it is impossible to detect. In this case, if one successfully establishes a foothold here, it is equivalent to having an extra guard to protect one.
After all, if others want to discover it, they have to deal with the blue and white fangs outside first, which is equivalent to putting a biological barrier on their palace.
It's at the level of a monster king!
Do you think this is a good idea?!
So the Rat King acted decisively, taking advantage of a brief moment when Blue Fang was away, and quickly moved his palace to the bottom of Silvermoon Lake.
It thought that this would ensure everything was foolproof, but unexpectedly, while Blue Fang failed to find its trail, another group of crazy humans came looking for it.
No one knew how they got here, bypassing the Blue Fang. Before it could figure out what was going on, the other party gave it a good beating without saying a word, chased it away, and even took over its nest.
Ahem! In short, that's the situation now. After those cultists seized the Rat King's territory, they lost their ability to move, so this underground palace will most likely remain here.
Looking at the shimmering Silver Moon Lake, which seemed to sparkle like a mirror, Fourth Sister also became secretly on guard.
If the information provided by the Rat King is correct, then the people from the [Otherworld] are very likely here, and since this is Blue and White Fang's territory, she must be even more careful.
Seeing this, the fourth sister hid in the distance of the lake and did not take any further action.
Fourth Sister is not an impatient person. She came mainly to investigate the situation. Eldest Sister also told her in the letter not to act rashly.
Waiting for reinforcements to arrive—that's all she has to do now, as long as...
call out!!!!!
Swish! ! !
Suddenly, a loud bang erupted from the peaceful surroundings, and a murderous aura swept over them. Fourth Sister sensed the danger and instinctively dodged to the side.
Pfft!!!
With a hiss, several drops of blood splattered in the air, leaving a thin scratch on Fourth Sister's beautiful face.
Wow, so fast!!!
After narrowly escaping a fatal attack, Fourth Sister was initially startled, then quickly retreated and immediately began to be on guard for her surroundings.
We've been discovered???
The fourth sister felt a chill run down her spine at the attack from a stranger, but she did not panic. While retreating to guard her surroundings, a thin thread appeared in her hand.
It's clear she's ready to fight back!
Moonlight shone on the ground, and the forest rustled due to the recent anomaly. The enemy's second attack was not long in between; almost the instant Fourth Sister was ready, another explosion rang out in the air.
coming! ! !
The fourth sister, who was already on guard against the attack, naturally wouldn't let it go unchecked. The moment she heard the loud bang, she flicked her jade fingers, and the spider silk in her hand shot out, striking the incoming attack.
Bang!!!!!
The attacks from both sides collided in mid-air, instantly creating a powerful shockwave that severed the two closest large trees.
boom!!!!
The tree crashed down, and Fourth Sister landed on the ground at that moment. But when she looked up, her pupils contracted uncontrollably.
