Yue Sen had a certain understanding of each client. This young man, who was known as the base's top expert.
Although he didn't know the extent of his true strength, Yue Sen believed that if he were merely a fame-seeker, he wouldn't have survived this long.
Soon, they saw groups upon groups of dark, overwhelming demonic beasts charging towards them.
Although they were only low-level demonic beasts, everyone could feel the terror of such numbers.
"Everyone, be careful. These are low-level demonic beasts, the Great Black Rats."
Everyone knew that low-level demonic beasts, the Great Black Rats, didn't possess any special abilities.
However, their most significant characteristic was their terrifying numbers. Wherever they went, they were like locusts sweeping across the land, leaving nothing behind.
It was precisely because of this that they were even more fearsome than other beast tides.
"Warriors with high defense, form the front. Warriors with high offense, stay behind. Warriors with ranged attacks, position yourselves at the very rear."
His intention in doing this was to maximize their combat effectiveness and ensure their survival amidst the rat swarm.
This arrangement was not wrong, but the rat swarm was simply too vast. These rats, standing a meter tall and two meters long,
possessed the sharpest teeth and the most fearless spirit.
Even if faced with a colossal mountain, they could easily excavate it.
And what was most terrifying wasn't their momentum to excavate other things, but the suffocating, relentless offensive.
Once they attacked, it was endless and ceaseless; they would absolutely not cease until the world's end.
Therefore, Ye Ningze knew from the beginning that confronting this group of rats head-on was the most unwise approach.
Thus, the fundamental solution to dealing with this beast tide was to eliminate the Rat King.
Only by eliminating the Rat King would this rat swarm collapse on its own. Without any hesitation, Ye Ningze said to Yue Sen:
"You all guard these people. I'll find a way to deal with the Rat King."
Who could have imagined that Ye Ningze would be so arrogant and presumptuous?
The surroundings were completely enveloped by the Great Black Rats. Venturing out would instantly lead to a fate of utter annihilation.
At this moment, anyone with a normal mind wouldn't utter such words, yet who could have foreseen this fellow being so arrogant and presumptuous?
Yue Sen certainly couldn't let Ye Ningze act recklessly. Although he was young and capable, it was precisely such capable and young individuals who were prone to dying from their own arrogance.
Thus, Yue Sen said to Ye Ningze:
"Mr. Ye Ningze, I know you are very powerful, but don't forget that you are facing a swarm of Black Rat beasts. If you go out, you will be torn to pieces instantly."
Yue Sen's words were not an exaggeration. These black rats, individually, could be handled by one person against a hundred.
But here, there weren't just hundreds, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, even millions. Thus, they had no chance.
However, Ye Ningze slowly shook his head and explained to Yue Sen:
"Don't worry, I have my ways."
After speaking, Ye Ningze stomped his feet, and his body shot up into the air like a cannonball.
When he landed, he created a massive crater, and the surrounding rats were sent flying by the impact.
Then, he began to move his legs, tearing through the rat swarm like a sharp sword.
This scene left everyone dumbfounded. Who could have imagined Ye Ningze possessing such strength, speed, and explosive power?
Frankly speaking, no one present could match his strength, speed, or explosive power.
Yet, even so, finding the Rat King was an incredibly difficult task.
The Rat King typically hid at the very rear of the rat swarm and possessed considerable intelligence.
If it saw someone attacking it, it would undoubtedly do everything in its power to use the rat swarm to shield itself.
This meant that one had to contend not only with the Rat King's strength but also with its cunning.
Thus, this was an exceptionally challenging endeavor, but Ye Ningze, with an unstoppable momentum, charged directly towards the Rat King.
The Rat King let out a sharp roar, and Yue Sen and the others immediately felt the pressure lessen.
Under the Rat King's command, the black rats immediately surged towards Ye Ningze.
Under their pursuit and encirclement, Ye Ningze repeatedly shifted his body.
He was as agile as a swimming fish, evading danger time and time again.
Everyone watched with bated breath. Who could have imagined Ye Ningze being so formidable?
It was as if he could predict the movements of the rat swarm in advance. Yue Sen exclaimed repeatedly:
"Mr. Ye Ningze's footwork and prediction are simply unheard of. I truly don't know how he trained himself to this extent."
So-called geniuses are those who can accomplish things that ordinary people cannot comprehend.
And Ye Ningze was precisely such a genius, often doing things that ordinary people found inexplicable.
Everyone present shared the same sentiment as Yue Sen. It was precisely because of this that they knew Ye Ningze was the only one among them capable of such a feat.
If any one of them were in his place, it would likely be a path to certain death.
But for Ye Ningze, there was perhaps a sliver of hope. Yue Sen's men also understood another crucial point: if they were to survive, it would all be thanks to Ye Ningze.
Yue Sen also wished to share some of the burden with Ye Ningze, so he said to those around him:
"Everyone, put in more effort. Don't let them break through our defenses. Protect those behind you."
Yue Sen knew that even if they couldn't help Ye Ningze directly, they absolutely must not become a hindrance to him.
Under Yue Sen's rallying cry, these individuals unleashed their strength to its absolute limit.
Yue Sen knew that only by doing so could they survive.
A moment later, the tide of battle suddenly shifted. The Rat King, which had been in its original position, suddenly changed its posture and began to retreat backward.
It immediately created distance between itself and Ye Ningze, who was relentlessly pursuing it from behind.
A collective gasp escaped the onlookers. Ye Ningze had painstakingly created the current situation, only for it to be instantly undone by the Rat King's retreat.
In this scenario, how much time would Ye Ningze need to catch up, and how much stamina would it require?
These were all pressing questions, as not everyone possessed an inexhaustible supply of energy.
