High-level martial arts: Invincibility starts with basic archery.

As soon as the man finished speaking, the entire underground space seemed to shake as if an earthquake had struck.

Countless gorillas surged in from all directions like a tidal wave.

These giant rats, each the size of a truck, have eyes filled with ferocity.

In a short while, they surrounded Chen Fan.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Just then, a large hole appeared on either side of the ground beside the man, and two huge rat heads emerged, their scarlet eyes fixed intently on Chen Fan.

Standing over ten meters tall with golden fur, they were none other than the two commander-level ferocious beasts.

Chen Fan's pupils dilated slightly.

He had originally planned to go deeper to find these two commander-level ferocious beasts.

Who would have thought that at this moment, the other party would come directly to their door, and not only that, but also bring all their disciples and followers with them.

The man smiled, reached out, and patted the head of the King Kong Rat leader on his right.

The latter also seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself, constantly rubbing his head against the other person's arm.

If you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that humans and ferocious beasts could be so close.

"So? Have you figured out what to do?"

The man stopped what he was doing, looked up at Chen Fan, and said, "I don't have much time to waste here."

"Work for you? What can you offer me?"

Chen Fan didn't rush to refuse, and laughed, "If my memory serves me right, this is Rat City, right? Besides the ruins and countless black-haired rats, it seems completely incomparable to other places."

Upon hearing this, the man's face instantly darkened.

As the owner of this place, what he hates most is hearing people say that this place is bad.

An escaped convict once fled here, complaining behind his back that there was nothing here. He was caught and eaten alive by a swarm of giant rats.

From then on, no one dared to say a bad word about Rat City, not even behind its back.

And now...

"Boy," the man's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "isn't sparing your life enough?"

"Spare my life?"

Chen Fan pointed to the two commander-level Vajra Rats beside him and said, "Is this the basis for your confidence?"

The two giant rat leaders seemed to sense the disdain in Chen Fan's tone, and they both opened their mouths, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth.

The surrounding swarm of giant rats also began to riot.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant."

The man sneered, "But those who are arrogant in front of me are all dead, without exception. Now, I will ask you one last time: will you submit to me, or die?"

"Is it possible that this multiple-choice question has another option, and that the other option is for you to die?"

Chen Fan asked with a smile.

"I'm afraid you don't have that ability."

The man sneered, raised his right arm, and pointed at Chen Fan, saying, "Kill him!"

The king rat on the right, as the leader, let out a sharp screech.

The surrounding swarm of giant rats immediately pounced on Chen Fan.

In the blink of an eye, it engulfed Chen Fan.

But then, countless dull thuds rang out.

Countless Vajra rats exploded one after another, blooming into blood flowers in the air.

However, even more gorillas pounced on them, one after another.

Upon seeing this, the man narrowed his eyes slightly.

Time passed slowly, and more and more King Kong Rats exploded. Even the two King Kong Rats in charge of command couldn't stand it anymore. They looked at the man beside them and said anxiously.

The man nodded slightly.

One of the king rat leaders immediately shrank into the ground.

next moment.

"boom!"

With a loud crash, the vanished King Kong Rat leader smashed its head against the ground and slammed its paw down at Chen Fan.

Upon seeing this, the man's lips curled up.

He knew, of course, that sending out a swarm of Vajra rats to attack this guy when even the Skin-Peeling Demon was no match for him was just handing him food.

But he still did it because it was part of the plan.

The swarm of gorillas launched a frontal attack, drawing the enemy's attention and making him lower his guard. Then, a gorilla, led by a leader, circled around to the rear and launched a surprise attack!

"boom!"

The King Kong Rat's paw slammed down hard.

Dozens of King Kong Rats were instantly killed the moment they were hit, their bones shattered. The violent shockwave also sent hundreds of other King Kong Rats flying hundreds of meters away.

However, to everyone's surprise, the palm strike failed to land.

It stopped when it was about two meters above the ground.

However, the ground could not withstand the enormous force and collapsed.

"What?!"

The man's eyes widened instantly, unable to believe what he was seeing.

The masked man, with his right arm raised, actually managed to hold up a giant hand that was almost the size of a house with one hand!

"roar!"

The King Kong Rat leader was briefly taken aback, then roared and slammed down with another palm strike.

"come out!"

Chen Fan shouted, his true energy surging to his right arm, transforming into a giant arm. He grabbed the claw of the Vajra Rat Commander and pulled it out of the ground.

"boom!"

A loud bang.

The nearly 30-meter-tall King Kong Rat Commander was lifted up, smashed through the ground, and then slammed into the ground, crushing a group of King Kong Rat who had no time to escape into a bloody pulp.

The King Kong Rat leader was thrown around so hard he was dizzy and seeing stars.

But for a ruler-level ferocious beast, this damage is merely a superficial wound.

It propped itself up, shook its head, and was about to make a move when Chen Fan grabbed it again, lifted it through the air, and slammed it hard onto the ground on the other side.

"bump!"

"bump!"

"bump!"

A dull thud echoed throughout the entire Rat City.

The man in the light green vest was stunned, his mouth agape, speechless.

That's a ferocious beast at the commander level!

In this guy's hands, it's treated like a toy?

"No! I don't believe it!"

The man gritted his teeth.

Escaping is easy, the problem is, where to go afterward?

He had managed Rat City for many years, and if he left, all his past efforts would be in vain.

"You go too!"

The next moment, the man looked at the King Kong Rat leader beside him.

The latter shuddered, a look of human-like fear appearing on his face.

It was intelligent enough to understand that if that human could pin its companion to the ground and beat it, then naturally it could do the same.

"Didn't you hear me?"

The man's eyes flashed with a fierce light.

"Are you going to just watch your companion fall to his death? Or do you want to experience that feeling yourself?"

Upon hearing this, the leader of the giant rats beside him looked at his companion.

Sure enough, the Vajra Rat leader was no longer recognizable as a rat. Its entire body was covered in blood, and its aura had weakened considerably.

Even a commander-level ferocious beast has a strong defense, but it can't withstand being thrown so many times.

It finally made its decision and burrowed into the ground.

"Another one?"

Chen Fan's lips curled up in a smile.

With his divine sense activated, he could easily sense the aura of the second Vajra Rat leader.

The moment the creature burst from the ground, he slammed it down hard with the Vajra Rat Commander he had caught.

"boom!"

The two King Kong Rat leaders collided, and the latter immediately let out a scream. After landing, it immediately burrowed into the ground.

It realized that it was no match for the human in front of it.

If the fighting continues, it will definitely follow in its companion's footsteps.

"You want to leave now? Don't you think it's too late?"

Chen Fan sneered, his left arm surged with true energy, and once again conjured a giant hand. He grabbed the opponent's tail and pulled out the second Vajra Rat leader, whose body was mostly buried in the ground, like pulling out a radish.

The latter felt as if it were flying, and let out a shriek.

"boom!"

The two giant rat leaders clashed violently together once again.

At first, the other end was completely still, as if it were dead.

"How could this be...?"

Upon seeing this, the man's eyes widened in fury.

"Fine, you forced me to do this!"

He gritted his teeth and made a certain decision in his heart.

The next moment, an ancient-looking yellow bronze whistle appeared in his hand. He put it to his lips and blew it, and a sharp sound suddenly rang out.

Immediately, the giant rats around who heard the sound swelled up and pounced on Chen Fan.

However, some were attacking the two commander-level ferocious beasts.

Others lunged at the man.

"Get out of here!"

With a single palm strike, he killed the giant rats, which were nearly twice the size of the animals.

Then, a smile appeared on his face.

Indeed, the bronze whistle in his hand was no ordinary whistle, but a magical item that could drive the surrounding ferocious beasts into a berserk state.

Once enraged, the beast is no longer afraid of pain, and its strength and speed more than double what they were before.

However, doing this also has a downside: it makes it difficult to distinguish between friend and foe.

When they lose their minds, they will attack any living thing they see, including their master.

Moreover, what happens along the way is uncontrollable.

"Forget it, they're just two beasts. If they die, so be it."

A sinister glint appeared in the man's eyes. With the Beast Taming Technique in hand, he could always subdue a few more commander-level ferocious beasts later.

When I become powerful in the future, it's not impossible for me to subdue a beast king-level ferocious beast.

"?"

Chen Fan also heard the whistle.

Immediately afterwards, countless gorillas swarmed forward.

The two giant rat leaders he was holding seemed to have become considerably heavier.

"roar!"

Just then, the previously quiet King Kong Rat leader opened its mouth wide and swallowed a row of King Kong Rats in front of it, crunching and chewing.

The other one, whose tail had been grabbed, suddenly surged with power, turned around abruptly, and bit down.

"I see."

Chen Fan could sense that the power and speed of these two commander-level ferocious beasts had increased significantly.

It was clearly the effect of that whistle just now.

Unfortunately, even if these two giant rats doubled or tripled their strength and speed, they would still be toys in his hands.

The next moment, he released the hand that was holding the tail and slapped it against the dense array of sharp teeth.

"boom!"

The latter's head, like a watermelon, completely exploded.

"!!!"

The man was terrified upon seeing this.

The berserk King Kong Rat leader was actually killed instantly by the opponent with a single palm strike?

Is this even human?

"boom!"

The second leader of the King Kong Rat also fell down, its head smashed to pieces.

Unlike the first one, this one went berserk but didn't have time to attack Chen Fan.

"not good!"

When the man saw Chen Fan looking at him, he was terrified and turned to run away.

Even a fool could see that the two sides were not even in the same league.

If it were him, he could fight a single kingpin rat leader to a standstill, but two? He'd only be able to run away.

Not to mention, it was the berserk leader of the Wolverines.

Even just one would be tough.

But what about this guy in front of me? He took them all down with a single palm strike.

It's better to leave first; as long as the green hills remain, there's always hope for a future.

"Trying to run away?"

Chen Fan sneered, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind the other person. He grabbed the other person's neck and lifted him up like a chick.

"No! Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

The man flailed his arms and legs wildly in the air, trying to break free.

But Chen Fan's hand was like a giant iron clamp, gripping tightly and impossible to shake.

"Now you know fear?"

Chen Fan sneered, "Weren't you very arrogant before? Hmm? You even said you wanted me to work for you, right?"

"That was all nonsense I made up."

The man wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Brother, you're a magnanimous man, with a heart as vast as a prime minister's—just let it go, okay?"

"I swear, if you're willing to let me go, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and start a new life."

"Turn over a new leaf and start anew?"

Chen Fan's lips twitched slightly. "I think you should go and reincarnate, and start anew."

"Don't kill me, big brother!"

Upon hearing this, the man panicked completely and let out a bloodcurdling scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Brother, please, let me go. I'll give you anything if you're willing to let me go."

"Yeah?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment and said, "Then take out the whistle you just blew."

"Whistle, whistle?"

The man was taken aback, and stammered, "What, what whistle?"

"Do you think I'm stupid? Or deaf? The rampage those gorillas went berserk only after they heard your whistle, and you're telling me you didn't know?"

After saying that, Chen Fan tightened his fingers slightly, and the other party immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!"

The man quickly begged for mercy.

"Speak."

"That, that's my family's heirloom. It requires consuming true energy to blow into it. Once blown, it can cause the surrounding ferocious beasts to enter a berserk state, increasing their strength by at least 100%. However..."

His smile was more like a grimace than a cry. "Big brother, your strength is truly astounding. If I'm not mistaken, you must be a Celestial Realm warrior, right? Even after those two commander-level ferocious beasts went berserk, they were still no match for you and were killed with a single slap."

"Let me see it."

"Brother, this is a family heirloom."

The man pleaded, "It's been in my hands for hundreds of years, brother..."

"Um?"

Chen Fan had no interest in listening to him say that.

"Brother, I can give it to you, as long as you're willing to let me go."

Seeing this, the man could only say that.

As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." Strictly speaking, this thing was also something his ancestors stole from others, and it has been passed down for hundreds of years, eventually becoming his family's property.

Although it's been snatched away by someone else now, he can just take it back when he becomes stronger.

Do you think you have the right to bargain with me?

Chen Fan's voice was filled with murderous intent, "I advise you to do as I say obediently, otherwise, I will have no choice but to resort to some means."

"I'll give it to you, I'll give it to you, okay?"

The man was so frightened that cold sweat poured down his forehead.

Judging from the man behind me's past actions, he is definitely a ruthless killer. If you anger him, you're sure to suffer the consequences.

"Big brother, here you go."

A yellow bronze whistle appeared in his hand.

It is carved with simple and elegant patterns.

Chen Fan took it and examined it carefully.

He had heard Sun Wei and others from the Martial Arts Association mention that the president had a magical item that looked like a pyramid and seemed to be able to take people inside.

That's how several Awakened Ones in Kowloon City were killed.

This bronze whistle seems to be one of these kinds of magical items.

"Is this real?"

He asked.

"Of course it's true, brother," the man said, his voice trembling with tears. "Even if I had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, I wouldn't dare lie to you about this."

"Really? Then I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, you know what will happen."

Chen Fan sneered, struck his pressure points, threw him to the ground, and walked away into the distance.

"Wait, wait a minute, big brother."

The man suddenly spoke up: "I... I think I remembered it wrong. It should be... it should be a different one."

"Yeah?"

Chen Fan turned around, his eyes filled with murderous intent. "I'm giving you one last chance. Which one is it?"

"Big brother, please, please release my pressure points first. This time, I will definitely, definitely get it right."

"No need, just tell me what items you have in your inventory, I'll take them myself."

Chen Fan glanced at him; how could he not guess what the other person meant?

They simply wanted to take advantage of this moment to launch a sneak attack on him.

"this……"

The man looked troubled.

"I knew you wouldn't be honest."

Chen Fan frowned and immediately activated the Soul Transfer Technique.

To his surprise, the guy in front of him had quite a high level of mental strength, and it took him several seconds to subdue him.

"It seems I need to continue improving my mental strength."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

The enemies we encounter later will likely become stronger and stronger. Even with a million points of mental energy, using some mental techniques won't be as easy as before.

Having learned how to open it from the other party, Chen Fan opened it directly, and saw more than a dozen yellow copper whistles appear inside.

They look exactly the same; there's no discernible difference.

He took them all out, lined them up, and asked, "Which one is real?"

"The third one from the left."

The man, who was being restrained, spoke honestly.

Chen Fan picked it up and tried it on a few King Kong Rats. Sure enough, after hearing the sound, the rats immediately went berserk, and their strength increased two or three times.

At the same time, he also felt that the true energy in his body was being consumed very quickly; with just one breath, more than 100,000 points of true energy were gone.

No wonder this guy just boasted before. Even though he's also a True Essence Realm martial artist, he's lucky if he has a few hundred thousand points of true energy.

What if it keeps blowing?

This idea suddenly popped into Chen Fan's mind.

He continued to blow his whistle while dodging the attacks of the gorilla.

The vital energy within the body was rapidly dissipating.

In just three or four seconds, four or five hundred thousand points of true energy were gone.

The size of those gorillas had increased four or five times from three or four meters before, and they were now about the same size as elite-level gorillas.

Just then.

"Bang!"

Several loud explosions.

The bodies of these giant rats suddenly exploded.

The whistling stopped abruptly.

A glint flashed in Chen Fan's eyes.

It turned out to be the case.

As long as one's internal energy is sufficient, and the whistle continues to sound, the strength of the ferocious beasts that hear the sound will continue to increase until they reach their limit, their bodies can no longer withstand it, and they explode.

Chen Fan's gaze fell upon an elite-level King Kong Rat in the distance.

After consuming hundreds of thousands of points of true energy again, this Vajra Rat, which was over ten meters tall, grew to over thirty meters, similar to the two Commander-level Vajra Rats from before.

Chen Fan thought this was the limit.

As a result, this elite-level Vajra Rat grew to nearly forty meters tall before it exploded with a bang.

The resulting violent tremor caused the ground to shake several times.

"I just don't know how to use this thing to make it effective."

Chen Fan frowned as he looked at the bronze whistle in his hand.

If you keep blowing, it can indeed be used to kill ferocious beasts.

However, the range of the whistle is limited, not as wide as one might imagine.

Secondly, there is a considerable amount of time between hearing the whistle and the beast's self-destruction due to its inability to withstand the pressure. During this period, various changes can easily occur.

Thirdly, he consumed too much true energy. Even with his current level of six or seven million units of true energy, he could only last for a little over a minute at most.

For martial artists, the importance of internal energy is self-evident. It's like a gun; without bullets, it's just scrap metal.

On the battlefield, things change in an instant. No opponent is foolish enough to give you time to recover your inner energy.

They're all taking advantage of your weakness to kill you.

"I can't think of a use for it now, but maybe I will in the future. Anyway, it's definitely a good treasure, and it's not a bad thing to keep it on me."

Chen Fan smiled and put the whistle back into his spatial ring.

"By the way, this guy must have the complete Beast Taming Technique in his spatial ring."

Chen Fan looked at the other person's spatial ring, which contained several martial arts manuals, all of which were top-tier martial arts techniques.

This disappointed Chen Fan somewhat, but considering the guy's performance just now, he felt a little relieved.

This guy, relying on his ability to control ferocious beasts, doesn't really value his own cultivation.

Little did they know that these were all external things; only one's own strength was true strength.

"Here."

Chen Fan quickly found the Beast Taming Manual.

To his surprise, the cover of the Beast Taming Manual had the word "Part 1" on it, suggesting that it was only half of the manual.

Chen Fan frowned and looked at the other person.
