<h4>Chapter 534 Dungeon exploration (14) </h4>


    The humanoid rat creatures that were left had wanted to stop them from running away, but they couldn''t since they were being stopped by the zombies.


    The zombies weren''t that strong that they could defeat the humanoid rat monsters without teaming up.


    In fact, it was even hard for them to stall the humanoid rat creatures since they were so strong. There were already a few of the zombies that had been ripped apart by the humanoid rat creatures during their confrontation.


    However, the terrifying thing about these zombies was that they showed no fear in attacking.


    They only existed to follow orders and once they received their orders, they wouldn''t back down no matter what.


    For now, the order that they received was to attack the humanoid rat creatures and stall them for as long as they could.


    So as long as their bodies didn''t break down, that was what they would do.


    As a result, the humanoid rat creatures didn''t have a single second to spare for the rats that were running away.


    There were only a few rats that ran away at first, but it was like a dam opening as soon as a few of the rats ran. Once those few rats were able to get away safely, the rest of them didn''t hesitate to run as well.


    They knew that if they didn''t take this chance now, they wouldn''t get another chance to escape.


    So they didn''t hesitate to run.


    The humanoid rat creatures looked like they wanted to stop this, but they couldn''t do a thing as the zombies charged at them relentlessly.


    Even if they wanted to rip apart one of the zombies, the others would charge forward to stop them.


    In short, they weren''t able to break free from being surrounded by the zombies.


    All they could do was try their best to survive against these zombies.


    But there was another surprise that wasing.


    While this was all happening, I had jumped down from the ledge that I was on andnded down beside Cecilia.


    She wasn''t surprised to see me, but there was a hesitant look on her face.


    I ignored this as I started heading towards the corpse of the humanoid rat creature on the ground.


    While I was heading over, Cecilia made sure toe with me as if she was prepared to protect me at any moment.


    When we came close, there was even a look in her eyes as if she wanted to grab me and pull me out of there. But I was able toe up to the corpse of the humanoid rat creature in the end.


    After reaching this humanoid rat creature, I raised an orb that I was holding in my hand and pointed it at the humanoid rat creature.


    The same thing as before happened where some energy came out of the orb and entered the humanoid rat creature.


    Nothing seemed to happen until it suddenly started moving.


    But the moment that it did, I couldn''t help feeling this paining from inside of me.


    It made me clutch my chest and lean forward a bit as if I was trying to negate the pain.


    While this was happening, Cecilia suddenly came forward and made to grab me. It was as if she wanted to lift me up and carry me out of there.


    But I stopped her in the end by raising one hand and saying, "I''m fine, I''m fine."


    Cecilia still had her arms around me as if she was prepared to carry me away at any moment, but she didn''t pick me up at the very least.


    That pain that I felt just now, it was from trying to turn this humanoid rat creature into a zombie.


    I had underestimated how much mana it would take to turn this thing into a zombie, which was why I had suffered a bit of bacsh just now.


    However, it had seeded in the end which was all that mattered.


    This humanoid rat creature was just standing there in front of me with zed eyes, as if it was waiting for my instructions.


    Seeing that it was waiting for me, I suddenly said, "Go and attack the others."


    The humanoid rat creature didn''t even have to ask who it was that I wanted it to attack.


    Without any hesitation, it started running at the other humanoid rat creatures that were being kept busy by the zombies.


    When the humanoid rat creatures saw the zombie humanoid rat creature running over, they had looks of hope as they thought that this zombie humanoid rat creature was here to help.


    But then they were disappointed as the zombie humanoid rat creature started attacking them.


    They of course knew how to best deal with these attacks since they were humanoid rat creatures as well.


    But that meant that the pressure was even stronger on them.


    With this zombie humanoid rat creature attacking the other humanoid rat creatures, the rat army started to panicpletely.


    They knew that there was nothing left for them, so they didn''t hesitate to run.


    There wasn''t a single rat that wasn''t running away at this point.


    When the humanoid rat creatures saw this, they started screeching at the rats, but not a single rat stopped for them.


    They couldn''t do anything to the rats that ran since they were still being trapped by the zombies.


    Seeing that they couldn''t threaten the rats, they changed their tactic.


    They started squeaking at the zombie humanoid rat creature, almost as if they were trying to snap it out of its daze ande back to their side.


    But that didn''t work at all as the zombie humanoid rat creature just kept attacking.


    That was until an arrow was lucky enough to pierce through the heart of another one of those humanoid rat creatures.


    That humanoid rat creature wasn''t able to remain standing as it suddenly copsed forward, driving the arrow deeper into its hearts.


    With this, the downfall of these humanoid rat creatures began.


    Especially when a second humanoid rat creature was formed.


    Just like this, the conclusion was drawn and the other two humanoid rat creatures also fell.
