Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 828 First Kill of the Rat King, Legendary Diamond Pickaxe!
"Captain, the Rat King looks like it's charging this way!" a team member shouted in terror!

"What!?"

Everyone looked up, their eyes filled with horror as they stared ahead.

A golden bolt of lightning rapidly approached at a terrifying speed of over a thousand meters per second!

A strong sense of oppression washed over them in waves, making it difficult for everyone to breathe and causing their legs to tremble uncontrollably.

"This...this is impossible..."

The commander stared blankly ahead, muttering, "Why would the Rat King launch an attack on its own initiative?"

Clearly, given their strength, if they were to encounter this Rat King head-on, they would be wiped out instantly!

Confusion, bewilderment, and fear were evident in the eyes of the survivors.

The Rat King would actively attack them, the survivors—this was something I'd never heard of before!
However, now is not the time to ponder the reasons.
Because the rat king was less than five kilometers away from them!

At this rate, in just a few seconds they will come face-to-face with this terrifying creature.

A sense of despair welled up in everyone's hearts.

At this critical moment, a loud explosion rang out from the sky.

"boom--!"

The loud noise shook the snow that covered an area of ​​tens of kilometers.

The next moment, three golden lightning bolts tore through the clouds and descended from the sky, striking the Rat King's path with the precision of divine judgment.

In the dazzling golden light, three tall figures slowly emerged.

"squeak!!!"

The Rat King let out a terrified cry, its sharp claws carving three deep furrows in the ground, abruptly halting its charge.

Its golden fur bristled, and the Rat King sensed a deadly threat from these three figures!

At the same time, the group of adventurers also got a clear look at the newcomers.

Leading the group was Cao Xing, who was dressed in a frosty white robe and holding an astrological staff.

On the left is Malenina wielding the Blood-Drinking Sword, and on the right is Isabel bathed in holy light.

The three people's presence instantly enveloped the entire snowfield, even causing the howling wind to pause.

Their expressions changed from initial despair and fear, to bewilderment upon seeing reinforcements, and finally to ecstatic joy upon confirming their identities!

"It's Boss Cao Xing! Holy crap! He's here to save us."

"And his legendary subordinates, so powerful!"

"That entrance was absolutely amazing!"

The despair on the survivors' faces instantly turned into ecstasy, and they completely forgot about the threat posed by the Rat King.

In their eyes, Cao Xing was a savior-like figure.

As long as he is there, no crisis is anything to fear.

Cao Xing also heard the cheers of the survivors behind him.

He didn't speak, but nodded slightly to them.

This simple action brought a sense of joy to the survivors, who once again indulged in celebration!

The atmosphere suddenly froze when Cao Xing continued to look at the Rat King in front of him.

At this moment, the once menacing rat king was now crouching and retreating.

Its eerie green eyes darted around, the diamond pickaxe in its hand trembled slightly, and its thick tail was tucked tightly between its hind legs.

This posture doesn't indicate that it's preparing for battle, but rather that it's ready to flee at any moment!

Cao Xing made no other move.

In his opinion, the rat king had no chance of escaping.

Before the battle begins, he can even take a moment to check the opponent's attributes.

When your gaze falls on this Rat King, an attribute panel appears.

[Rat King: Jinkra (Event Monster)]

[Race: Skullcrawler]

[Level: 100 (Legendary)]

[Potential: Dominator]

[Health: 3 million/3 million]

[Attack power: 892182~938252]

Armor: 45000~45000

[Weapon: Diamond Pickaxe (Ignores 50% of the enemy's armor when attacking, and has a 30% chance to break the enemy's defensive stance.)]

[Skills: Legendary Melee Mastery, Gold Coin Bomb, Rolling Mouse, Lucky Mouse, Rat King Summon]

[Commander-level Skill: Golden Glitter]

[Dominator-level Domain: Rat King Domain (Within this domain, all Skrats' attributes increase by 30%, and their evasion probability increases by 30%)]

[Hero Skill: None]

Legendary Skill: Golden Rat Plague (When the Rat King is severely injured, he will angrily shake the cape on his back and release a large number of 'Scott Rat Swarms'.)

Countless golden phantoms of the Rat King rush towards the enemy, each dealing damage equal to (Rat King's attack power * 45%).

The Golden Rat Plague lasts for 5 seconds.

After this, the Rat King will collapse weakly to the ground (Defense -50%, lasting 5 seconds).

[Talent: Running away in panic]

...

...

After reviewing the attributes of this Rat King, Cao Xing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Clearly, with these stats, it's not weak even among legendary characters.

With an attack power of nearly a million, coupled with the armor-piercing effect of the weapon [Diamond Pickaxe], a single blow could easily take down a Tier 7 Survivor Lord.

Even with a level 100 max-level shield guard, which can barely withstand the Rat King's attack, this weapon has another effect: '30% chance to break the enemy's defensive stance'.

That means it only takes a few attacks to break through the shield guards' defenses!
Especially the final legendary skill: Golden Rat Plague.

Once activated, this skill will summon tens of thousands of golden rats.

If this skill cannot be interrupted, the entire team will likely be wiped out.

For the survivors, it was an invincible and terrifying creature!
There is only one way to defeat this monster, even if you are of a higher level.

That is to directly take advantage of the numbers and continuously use strong control skills to interrupt its attack frequency.

Then send out several powerful shield guards to restrict the Rat King's movements; only then will there be a chance of victory.

Just as Cao Xing was observing the Rat King's panel, the monster's darting eyes stopped moving, as if it had already chosen its escape route.

The next moment, its leg muscles suddenly bulged, and the crown on its head emitted a dazzling golden light.

"Squeak!!"

With a sharp screech, the Rat King transformed into a golden lightning bolt and raced wildly into the depths of the snowfield!

It was so fast that it left a trail of afterimages in the air!
Upon seeing this, the survivors' pupils contracted, and they hurriedly shouted, "Boss Cao Xing, that rat king is trying to escape!"

Cao Xing could naturally see through the Rat King's intentions, but he did not rush to pursue it.

Instead, he crouched down slightly, gently pressing his long, slender fingers onto the snow, and whispered, "Freeze..."

"Crack——!"

Starting from his palm, a chilling aura powerful enough to freeze the soul erupted forth, spreading forward along the frozen ground.

"Splash... splash..."

The glistening frost spread like a living thing, freezing the snow on the ground into solid ice wherever it went!
In just one second, an ice and snow running track, four or five kilometers long and covering half of the snowfield, appeared.

It's Cao Xing's signature skill: Freezing a Thousand Miles!

The rat king, in its frantic run, suddenly stumbled, and to its horror discovered that its legs were rapidly freezing.

The frost spread rapidly up its heels, instantly reducing its movement speed by 50%!

"squeak?!"

Before it could recover from its shock, a holy chant suddenly came from the sky.

"Sinners...be imprisoned by the Holy Light!"

A golden beam of light descended from the sky, trapping him in place like a sacred cage!

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The Rat King struggled frantically, its golden fur standing on end.

And he kept swinging his diamond pickaxe, frantically chiseling at the beam of light!

However, Isabel's skill was already capable of briefly restricting the movements of legendary-level powerhouses at the Hero level.

Now, she has not only broken through to the legendary level, but her level has also reached 148.

Even with the Rat King's attack having a 50% armor penetration effect from the Diamond Pickaxe, it's not that easy to break through.

The moment the Rat King was trapped, Cao Xing and his men launched a fierce attack!

Enhanced Ice Spike!

Ice-Breaking Flying Blade!

Ice tornado storm!
Holy Light Ember Shield!

Baptism by Holy Light!

Spear of Light!
"Crash..."

Ice and holy light intertwined to form a destructive net, the blinding light forcing the survivors to close their eyes.

Not only that, but a blood-red figure appeared before the Rat King as if by teleportation.

The next moment, Malenina unleashed her explosive divine skill—Lotus Sword Dance!
“Swish! Swish, swish, swish!”

Marlena was like a blooming crimson lotus, leaving deep, bone-revealing bloodstains on the Rat King with every appearance.

Blood blossoms instantly erupted.

[-5823521!] [-9092524!]

【-11023527! 】

【-4822451! 】

【-4172652! 】

【-12052954! 】

【-7782934! 】

...

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The damage numbers scrolled wildly across the screen, while the Rat King's shrill screams were drowned out by the explosions.

In a single exchange, the Rat King lost over 100 million health points.

The survivors on the treetops were stunned.

In their eyes, all they could see was countless spells capable of instantly killing them, completely engulfing that area.

Meanwhile, the Rat King's life points, which amounted to over 300 million, were decreasing rapidly at a visible rate.

"This...this is way too exaggerated?"

"After just one exchange, it looks like the Rat King is almost killed. Can you handle that?"

"Holy crap! Is this the true strength of the number one player in the entire server? That's so cool!"

Dozens of people stood on the treetops, watching in stunned silence.

Only by witnessing it up close can one truly appreciate just how terrifying the fighting power of Cao Xing's legendary warriors is!
That was an overwhelming force; ordinary legends were completely powerless against them.

Only then did they truly see the strength of this number one player in the entire server!

at the same time.

Two seconds after Cao Xing and the others finished their outburst.

This Rat King only has 1.5 million HP left.

In other words, the three of them generated a total output of 200 million in two seconds.

During this period, through continuous level increases and the enhancement of some secret medicines.

In particular, the secret medicine [Exotic Essence] further amplifies their already formidable damage by 30%!

Against a legendary opponent of the same level, you can take them down in 20 seconds.

Meanwhile, after being bombarded, the Rat King finally broke through Isabel's [Holy Light Prison].

It stood staggering in the snow, its once brilliant golden fur now dull and lifeless, and large patches of frostbite and burn marks from the holy light appeared on its body.

The Rat King's eerie green eyes darted around wildly.

It also knew that the three people in front of it were too powerful, and it had no chance of escaping at all!
So, not long after it was freed, the Rat King ripped off the cloak on its back and started shaking it wildly.

"Crash..."

Thousands upon thousands of golden rat phantoms fell from the cloak, instantly solidifying upon landing.

Each rat emanated a dangerous energy fluctuation, its sharp incisors and claws gleaming coldly.

"Chi chi chi chi!"

"Squeak! Squeak!"

The cries, like ocean waves, rose and fell in succession.

In the blink of an eye, the snowfield was covered by tens of thousands of golden rats.

They emit a piercing "squeak" sound, and wherever they go, even the ice and snow are devoured.

It is the Rat King's legendary skill: the Golden Rat Plague!

If they were overwhelmed by this terrifying horde of rats, even Cao Xing and his companions would suffer severe injuries!

But it's clear that Cao Xing won't give it that chance.

With a gentle wave of his staff, he mobilized the ice elements within a radius of tens of kilometers!
Suddenly, fragments of meteorite appeared in the sky, each fragment containing a strong aura of sealing and freezing!

Immediately afterwards, Cao Xing's icy voice rang out: "Frost Crystal Prison... Ice Burial!"

The next moment, all these meteorite fragments rushed towards the golden figure in the center of the snowfield.

"Boom! Boom boom!"

The fragments hit one after another, each time stiffening the rat king's body and drastically reducing its speed!

When the last fragment fell, a huge ice crystal meteorite had taken shape.

The rat king was frozen solid at the center of the meteorite.

The rat king's struggling movements came to an abrupt halt.

The phantom images of those golden rats also vanished.

The ensuing battle was, of course, a foregone conclusion.

Under the combined fire of the three, the Rat King's health points once again poured away like water.

As the last vestige of life was taken away, the ice crystal meteorite formed from the Frost Crystal Prison shattered.

The powerful Rat King crashed to the ground, turning into countless golden specks of light that dissipated in the wind and snow.

At the same time, a system prompt appeared.

[Successfully defeated the event monster: Rat King Jinkra lv100 (Legendary creature), gained 8100 million experience points]

Combat personnel gained 4050 million experience points.

[Hidden Achievement: Ratcatcher's Progress Updated, Current Progress: 116/1000]

...

[Ding! Survivor Cao Xing, please note that you are the first lord in the entire server to kill the Rat King, and have received the first kill reward: Rat King's Diamond Pickaxe (Legendary) *1, Reputation Points +10000]

[Should we make a server-wide announcement?]

...

Cao Xing was slightly taken aback when the notification sounded.

"Huh? They even have first-kill rewards?"

When he saw the first kill reward, his pupils suddenly contracted!

"Holy crap! They actually rewarded me with a legendary piece of equipment! Is that even possible?"

The Rat King's Diamond Pickaxe—you can tell where this thing comes from just by its name!
I initially thought this was just a weapon exclusive to these event monsters, but I never expected it to be a reward as loot.

Cao Xing eagerly opened his backpack, where he saw a crystal-clear diamond pickaxe lying quietly in his inventory.

I quickly glanced at the attributes.

The Rat King's Diamond Pickaxe (Legend)

[Equipment Type: Special]

[Equipment Level: 100]

Weapon Attack Power: 50000~50000

【Special Effect ①: Supreme Armor Penetration (When attacking, ignores 50% of the target's defense and has a 30% chance to break the enemy's defensive stance)】

【Additional Effect ②: Golden Rat's Fortune (When attacking an enemy with a storage item using a diamond pickaxe, there is a 5% chance that the enemy will drop 1-3 random items.)】

【Special Effect 3: Vein Detection (When wielding this diamond pickaxe, it will automatically detect rare veins in the vicinity)】

[Legendary Special Effect: Blessing of the Rat God (When activated, the diamond pickaxe gains the power of the Rat God, becoming indestructible.)]

For a certain period of time, it can ignore armor, dig through any terrain, obstacle, barrier, etc., without triggering any defense mechanism.

The blessing lasts for 30 seconds; cooldown: 10 hours.

(Note: 'Blessing of the Rat God' ignores defensive barriers below the demigod level. If it encounters a god-level rule barrier, it will lose its effect.)
(Equipment Description: A diamond pickaxe with magical powers, said to be able to summon the power of the Rat God and dig open any place you want to explore.)
...

"Aren't these attributes... a bit exaggerated?"

Cao Xing muttered to himself, his gaze fixed on the last line, "Legendary Special Effects!"
"It can ignore armor, dig through any terrain, and it doesn't even trigger any defense mechanisms!"

"Most importantly, this 'Blessing of the Rat God' should also be blessed by the power of eternity."

"Then, I can go wherever I want! I'll dig through every underground palace and secret realm I want!"

Thinking of this, his breathing even became a little rapid!
Clearly, for all treasure hunters, this [Diamond Pickaxe] is an undisputed artifact!

If the above results were made public, it would definitely cause a frenzy among treasure hunters across half the continent!
"This thing will definitely play a significant role in the future."

Cao Xing sighed, then solemnly put it back into his backpack, calming his excited emotions.

As for the last system prompt: 'Should we issue a server-wide announcement?'

He pondered for a moment, then glanced at the group of dumbfounded survivors behind him.

Sooner or later, news will come from these people who witnessed the entire battle...

"In that case..."

Cao Xing clicked "OK" without hesitation.

At the same time, a shocking announcement appeared on the system interface of all survivors!

[Attention all survivors!]

[Lord Cao Xing from Region 1 has successfully slain the Rat King Jinkra, becoming the first lord in the entire server to achieve this feat!]

This achievement will be recorded in the annals of the New Humans and will grant a special, mysterious reward.

This is a public announcement to commend their courage!

...

In an instant! The chat channels across the entire server erupted once again!
"My God! It's Cao Xing again! He actually achieved the first kill of the Rat King! It's unbelievable!"

"Damn it, I'm having a hard time even fighting a Silver Skaarl, and I'm worried about being killed by this rat, while others have already started taking on the Rat King."

"Yeah, that's amazing! I really want to go to Region 1 and team up with Boss Cao Xing!"

"I'm curious about what the mysterious reward the system mentioned is."

"..."

This server-wide announcement has once again sparked excited discussions among all the survivors!
