The dwarf monster’s sharp, unshod feet stomped on the ground, causing a loud, crisp sound!
Surprisingly, this creature could actually move at a speed surpassing that of sound in just an instant!
At the same time, its sharp claws also extended from its body, instantly reaching the speed of sound and aiming to claw at Jia Yan!
Meanwhile, about a kilometer away, a creature of similar size poked its head out from behind a wall...
Its icy gaze was fixed on the distant battle.
Yes! He was the leader of the rat monsters responsible for ordering the attack on Jia Yan!
The intent behind his actions was simple: to observe if the flying monster was truly impressive as it seemed!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!——
The slightly smaller rat monster began its assault!
Despite its smaller size, as a true combat organism, its power could not be compared with those ordinary battle pets!
Even today’s giant wolf would stand no chance against it!
This creature leapt off the ground, propelling itself onto the top of Jia Yan’s head!
Upon reaching out its sharp claws towards Jia Yan’s head, in fact, it seemed prepared to end the battle in one fell swoop!
Despite its thin build, surpassing the speed of sound made it incomparably stronger than most bullets!
If it strikes, it could destroy a building instantly!
But how could Jia Yan possibly let it have its way?!
Especially since this creature was severely underestimating him!
Upon seeing the creature leap, a gleam sparked in Jia Yan’s eyes!
With a swish, Jia Yan managed to narrowly dodge the attack with a fraction of a second to spare.
The rat monster’s eyes lit up as if its attack had been successful. Prior to this, he doubted he could handle Jia Yan’s combat power, but now, it seemed that the gap wasn’t too large!
Could it be... there’s a chance?!
Just as the rat monster thought this, an attacking shadow promptly shattered its idea!
A swiftly moving shadow, after narrowly dodging its attack, morphed into lightning and seemed to descend from the heavens!
Following a crisp sound, the object the monster had been using as a shadow hit the creature’s abdomen!
The rat monster’s eyes almost bulged out of its head as it spouted a mouthful of green, disgusting blood!
Jia Yan was quick to evade the bloody spray; his speed was unbelievably even faster than before!
Looking back at his attack, it was with his elongated mouthpart!
As it turns out, in his evasion, he swung his mouthpart for a convenient attack. The speed of this attack easily surpassed the opponent’s, and the result was immediate!
Boom! Boom! Boom!!!———
The hit rat monster was sent flying like a cannonball!
After scraping along the ground and stirring up clouds of dust, it landed hundreds of meters away. Its thin body could not possibly withstand such a casual blow from Jia Yan without injury.
As expected, it lay on the ground, seemingly unconscious. Only the faint rise and fall of its chest confirmed it was still alive.
The distant, mysterious rat monster leader’s expression is one of human-like shock!
Even though these rat monsters were not trained for combat, how could their combat power be dealt with by an ordinary battle pet?
Yet, the battle pet before him had easily defeated such a warrior!
The rat monster leader’s expression appeared to reveal some discontent at this point.
As for Big Mosquito, a strange light shone in its compound eyes.
"Forget it, this monster is a looter. Let’s just serve him a warning — killing someone here could cause trouble!"
With that thought, it began to slowly turn and head towards Gutan’s farm.
Meanwhile, sitting on Jia Yan’s back, Daphne looked strangely at the critically injured rat monster. Unlike Big Mosquito, she knew more about these alien civilizations. For this level of combat power to belong to a mere thug from a remote area didn’t seem plausible...
However, she didn’t say anything. Perhaps she wasn’t sure whether or not the rat monster was a special figure, or maybe, she wanted the situation to delve into chaos!
It would then facilitate her next move!
Nevertheless, the rat monster inadvertently saved its own life.
Besides this rat monster incident, there weren’t any significant changes in their life.
Jia Yan started working as Gutan’s nominal battle pet, fighting in the War Pet Arena on his behalf.
Gutan, in turn, would spend part of his winnings to buy a large amount of nutrient solution for Jia Yan!
The currency in this city is a distinctive object recognized by both warring factions. There are various ways of obtaining this money— physical gold and silver, paper money, and even a kind of virtual currency similar to online banking. Even though these currencies come in many forms, the physical ones all possess some kind of unique electronic recognition signal. If it were just paper money, the risk of counterfeiting would be too high!
