Chapter 704 Starlight Purgatory
Chapter 704 Starlight Purgatory
The underground tunnels were definitely not straight but were the kind that had many twists and turns. However, after the fishing hook went in, it strangely didn't touch any obstacles. It was as if it had eyes and quickly shuttled through the tunnel.
In the blink of an eye, it appeared in an underground space.
Shortly after, it found Rat Devourer gnashing its teeth in the underground space.
The fishing hook did not stop at all and rushed towards Rat Devourer.
"What the hell is this?"
Rat Devourer suddenly felt a sharp pain in his neck, as if a barb was stabbing into his neck from the back. An intense pain swept through his body and mind. He subconsciously turned his head and immediately saw a silver-white thread, which was connected to the surface, behind him.
At the same time, he immediately felt a tremendous force coming from the hook, pulling his whole body up.
With that movement, Rat Devourer became highly ferocious and could not help but curse, "You b*stards, what do you take me for? The fish in the pond? Do you actually want to catch me like a fish? Preposterous! Break off!"
Rat Devourer's face was full of anger. A short knife appeared in his hand, and he immediately slashed at the hanging line.
Ding!
However, the terrifying thing was that not only did the slash not cut off the hanging wire, but the enormous deflective force caused the hook to go deeper into his neck. The terrible pain instantly drew out all the strength in his body. His body went numb, and he felt powerless. He even felt an intense pain sweeping through his body and soul.
"No! I don't want to be caught like a dead fish!"
"My reputation as the Rat Devourer is destroyed today. I'll become the laughingstock and disgrace of the Rat-human race and bring shame to the entire clan. No, don't do this. Why did this happen?"
Rat Devourer screamed crazily from the bottom of his heart. He felt like his entire body was on the verge of collapse.
However, the development of the situation would not change because of his inner wishes. Rat Devourer's whole body was pulled by the fishing hook, quickly drilling into the tunnel and being pulled up speedily.
Pfft!
With a muffled sound, Rat Devourer was forcibly pulled out of the ground.
No, he was fished out.
"Damn you Straw men, I, Rat Devourer, am irreconcilable with you Straw men!" The first thing Rat Devourer saw was the tall and burly golden Straw man, and the hatred in his heart burst. At its peak, the golden Straw man would have been blown to pieces if gaze could kill. There would have been tens of thousands of holes, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his heart would have been pierced by thousands of arrows.
When he was fished out from the ground like a dead fish, the humiliation was hard to describe.
"What a fat rat that's hiding underground!"
At that moment, Young Master Xu Kong walked out of the crowd. He was wearing a snow-white robe. He walked a few steps forward and circled Rat Devourer, who was hanging in the air. He studied him with a judgmental look.
"What a fat rat! I've seen so many rats, but not a rat spirit. It's my first time seeing such a fat one!
Young Master Xu Kong clicked his tongue and sighed with a look of curiosity.
"Human, if it weren't for these damn Straw men, do you think you can catch me? If you have the ability, then let me go. Otherwise, this time it's a million-strong rat army. Next time it'll be a ten million-strong rat army, and these Straw men will all die!"
The Rat Devourer snarled, "Don't think the Kingdom of Dawn is powerful now. It's because our races don't take you seriously. If it weren't for the agreement between some of your human powerhouses and the other races, you humans would've been exterminated long ago."
"The Almighty humans are also a part of the Human race. Under the same conditions, our Human race will not be inferior to any other race. Who dares to fight the Kingdom of Dawn head-on now? If you are really that powerful, why do you have to resort to such tricks?"
Li Xiang said coldly.
"You're the Lord of Dawn, Li Xiang?"
Rat Devourer looked at Li Xiang coldly and sneered, "Today, I, Rat Devourer, have fallen. However, you humans can forget about rising!"
"No matter what, you won't be able to see that day. What awaits you is the Heavenly Prison. I hope you will enjoy the surprises the Heavenly Prison brings you in the future." Li Xiang said with a calm expression.
After speaking, he grabbed Rat Devourer and threw him into the void.
Shua!
A crack appeared without warning in the air and swallowed Rat Devourer in an instant.
That was the projection of the Starlight Purgatory on the seventh level of the Tower of Stars. He had placed it in the void of the Kingdom of Dawn to connect to the Star Web to control the entire country.
He remembered the last time he used it was against the Dragon race's Red Dragon Clan. The Red Dragon Clan's chief was still locked up in the Starlight Purgatory.
If one looked closely, one would see a faint image appearing in front.
In the boundless starry sky, the prisoners became independent stars, eternally isolated in the dead silent starry sky.
From time to time, it had to endure the baptism of all kinds of cosmic rays, meteorites, and storms. It was definitely a terrifying place where days felt like years.
That scene was too terrifying.
No one felt they could leave that place alive when they imagined themselves in that situation.
Either stay still in jail or die.
That was the Heavenly Prison, also known as the Starlight Purgatory.
"Starlight Purgatory!"
Young Master Xu Kong looked up at the Heavenly Prison, which had disappeared into the void, and a hint of fear appeared in his eyes.
He could feel that the Heavenly Prison had become stronger and more terrifying than before.
"Haha, snow pear rice, my snow pear rice is finally a success!"
Just then, a cry of surprise came from the rice fields, attracting everyone's attention.
Li Xiang was no exception. He turned his head curiously.
The man named Old Song was laughing loudly in the rice field. In front of him were hundreds of plants.
Those were the crops that had survived.
At that moment, those crops were undergoing an incredible transformation.
A large amount of the fierce rats' blood in the rice fields strangely gathered towards the grains. They were absorbed by the roots and turned into their own nutrients. Every grain was emitting a crystal-like light. That light could not be concealed even by the light from the Qiming Lamps.
There were many full rice grains borne on top.
Those rice grains were also glowing as they crazily absorbed the nutrients. Indistinctly, they were undergoing an incredible transformation.
In the sky, a strange phenomenon also began to appear. The gloomy sky that had not changed began to snow without warning. It was really snowing, and amazing snowflakes fell from the sky.
"Snow? Why is there snow? Why is it suddenly snowing?"
"This is a strange phenomenon. Snow can't fall in this season. Only a strange phenomenon can cause snowflakes. It is said that when a divine item appears, it will usually be accompanied by all kinds of different phenomena. These snowflakes should be one of the phenomena."
"Look, these snowflakes only appear in the rice fields, and they only appear in Old Song's fields. Could it be because of the newly cultivated rice? I heard Old Song is cultivating a new type of rice called snow pear rice."
