Doom Lord

Chapter 73- Narrow Victory

Cheng Yang immediately looked down at ground, and discovered in the slight far away distance was indeed these light blue power value stones.

A feeling of being pleasantly surprised welled up in Cheng Yang's heart. From just the level 1 power value stones, he had harvested over 1,000 power values. If these were really a higher level power value stones, then how much power values could he possibly get from them?

Cheng Yang barely had time to go pick up the power value stones when suddenly from the depth of the cavern came a burst of squeaking. That sound unexpectedly matched exactly like those giant rats he had killed outside a moment ago.

"Damn! Don't tell me there's a giant rat in here?" As Cheng Yang kept his eyes to the front of the cavern, he couldn't help but curse.

Sure enough, before he had a chance to make any further action, a percussive sound came from deep inside the cavern. Cheng Yang promptly braced himself, he didn't want to fail miserably in a very easy task.

Following a few short breaths, the highlight of two flashing light was suddenly knocked to the side of the cavern. After waiting for the distance figure to come closer, Cheng Yang discovered the figure to be a huge rat that was of a much larger size than those previous rats.

If the rats before were comparable to a leopard, then the rat rushing toward him then was at least as big as a black bear. When it ran, even the ground were slightly trembling.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Yang was immediately aware that the situation wasn't good. Using his mind, a freeze spell was immediately released at the giant rat. Cheng Yang's casting time was a second long. While he was casting the spell, the rat managed to shorten the original 20 meters distance to 10 meters.

Fortunately, the freeze spell didn't have a probability for success, so this giant rat was instantly frozen in place.

Cheng Yang didn't dare have the slightest amount of slack, immediately he turned and ran towards the outside. At the same time, an ice puck was shot backward, hitting the giant rat's forehead.

However, after releasing the ice puck, Cheng Yang ran only ten meters before the body surface of the giant rat started melting. Once again, it began chasing Cheng Yang.

In other words, the freeze spell he released only played an effect for one second, which was a full half of its original effect duration. Cheng Yang concluded that this monster was likely to be a first-peak order giant rat with some special skills or talent that could weaken his control skills.

It wasn't like Cheng Yang hadn't killed a first peak-order enchanted beast before, but that was done in the Scarlet Church instance. Moreover, he did it while staying at the top of the treetop without fear of being attacked by the other side. But at the time he was in a narrow cavern, let alone being in a favorable terrain, on the contrary it made him at a disadvantage.

In a blink of an eye, the ice puck hit the giant rat. However, the huge brunt impact didn't influence the giant rat one bit. After the ice puck shattered apart, a lot of ice debris scattered all over the floor, the slow effect also failed to trigger.

At this point, the giant rat was only 20 meters away from Cheng Yang. While running, Cheng Yang quickly shot off another ice puck.

Cheng Yang made rapid calculations inside of his head, this giant rat's magic defense should be around 8 points, which meant each of his attack would only cause over 30 points of damage. With this monster first peak-order strength, its health should be around 240 points. So if he wanted to kill the other side, then he needed to at least hit it more than seven times.

And now he only released two rounds of attack, and the other side has close to a distance of 10 meters. Before the monster overtook him, he still had one more opportunity to attack.
