Chapter 25: Collapse

Huh? What was that? Just when George was a little desolate, he suddenly saw a huge cone-shaped stone, which was already crumbling, on the roof of the mine. His eyes lit up and the gears in his brain started turning. At this time, the golden-haired rat king had rushed towards George again. He endured the pain and jumped up. However, because he was afraid of hitting the top of the mine, George did not dare to jump too high. He swung the medicine shovel in his hand again, but this time, he wasn't aiming for the golden-haired rat king, but rather, the already shaky stone "Bang!" "Bang!" George's medicine shovel hit the boulder. At the same time, the golden-haired rat king stood up again and hit George's leg. George was knocked out once more, with only a trace of blood left in his health bar. He was almost killed, and the golden-haired rat king stood there while looking at George proudly. George did not pay attention to its taunting, but looked at the boulder he hit instead. The boulder was already crumbling. After being hit hard by George Wu, it shook even more violently. Finally, when the golden-haired rat king was about to charge at George again, the boulder fell. The golden-haired rat king also seemed to hear a strange noise and realized that something was wrong. He subconsciously raised his head and looked upward. Then, he saw a black shadow falling down onto it. Before it could react, the sharpest part of the cone-shaped boulder penetrated directly into its body. Although the golden-haired rat king's defense was very strong, the boulder was extremely heavy, and the bottom was sharp. Hence, it still broke through the its defense, injuring it and knocking it to the ground. There was a huge wound on his head, and his whole body was crushed under the boulder. Seeing this, George stood up and walked towards the golden-haired rat king. It looked at George with hatred ferociously and let out a low roar. "What are you looking at? Come and hit me again if you can." George patted the golden-haired rat king's body with the shovel as he gloated. How the tables had turned! The golden-haired rat king was determined to win and thought he could kill George. However, now he had the upper hand, while the golden-haired rat king was seriously injured. Seeing George's proud expression, the Golden Rat King became even more angry. It roared more frequently, and the murderous aura radiating from it seemed get stronger. George felt frightened for no reason. The golden-haired rat king was really ferocious. Even though it was already in this state, it still gave people the shivers. "No, I mustn't delay. Who knows what will happen? I must kill it as soon as possible!" George thought to himself, as he swung the shovel onto the golden-haired rat king's wounds faster. If he hit elsewhere, George's attack would not be able to cause much damage to the golden-haired rat king at all. It was only if he hit near the wound that it could be hurt. The golden-haired rat king did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, it kept struggling to get out from under the boulder. George became more uneasy when he saw that, because the boulder, which weighed hundreds of kilograms, was actually starting to shake under the its persistent struggles. In fact, it was actually started to shake, and the amplitude of the shaking was increasing. "Shit, no way. It can't possibly break free right?" George panicked when he saw this. If the golden-haired rat king really got free, he might be the dead one! Just as George was thinking about it, the beast let out a low growl, and actually used its paws to lift the boulder off its body! When George saw this, he was so frightened that he backed away repeatedly. He put the medicine shovel against his chest and made a defensive posture. The golden-haired rat king held up the boulder and looked at George mockingly. Then, it threw it hard and the boulder flew towards George. George hurriedly dodged, and the boulder hit the wall of the mine behind him. The mine was already constantly falling rubble, but now the ore was falling faster. The entire mine seemed to be affected by the impact of the boulder. , and shook a few times. The golden-haired rat king was beating his chest and roaring with its head up high, as if it was venting the humiliation of being suppressed earlier. However, as soon as it raised its head, it saw several huge shadows falling towards it. It was so frightened that it immediately stopped squawking, and tried to run forward. However, it was still a little too slow. The first black shadows had already hit it before it could react. The golden-haired rat king was already injured, and this time it was hit again, which made its injury more severe. He no longer had the strength to struggle. Then, several more boulders fell, completely crushing him underneath. George had no time to care about the golden-haired rat king at this time, because he was also avoiding the falling stones. This mine had a long history and had reached the verge of collapsing. Therefore, when the golden-haired rat king first came out, its huge body caused a lot of gravel to fall down in the mine while running. That was already a sign of the mine's instability. The huge boulder it threw earlier had hit the wall of the mine hard and dealt the fatal blow to the mine. The entire mine shook violently, and the gravel above them fell even more. This mine was going to collapse! George realized this immediately and wanted to run out. He didn't want to be buried in this mine. However, when he was about to turn around and leave, he saw the golden-haired rat king who was trapped under several boulders. He hesitated for a moment before running towards it instead. When George came to its side, he realised that the golden-haired rat king had already been crushed to death. Blood was flowing all over the floor but the most important thing was that its body had not disappeared! George put his hand on the golden-haired rat king's head and muttered silently in his heart. The next second, the carcass disappeared from the ground and entered George's backpack. "I knew it!" Seeing this situation, George was excited. Even if it was buried by several boulders, as long as his hands touched the body, it could be put into his backpack without him having to move the boulders. What made George happier was that there was a piece of shining equipment next to the body of the golden-haired rat king. George picked it up at once. At this time, the rocks in the mine fell faster. George contained his excitement and quickly ran out of the mine. George had just ran out of the mine when it behind him collapsed with a "boom", causing gravel and dust to fly everywhere. "Fortunately, I ran faster." George thought with lingering fear. If he had been a few seconds slower, he would have been buried in the mine. "However, if this mine is done for, what am I to do about Blacksmith Sun's ore in the future?" George thought in distress.
