Feng Ju stood in place, the shield in front of him bent and deformed from the rat swarm's impact, emitting a creaking sound.
He clenched his teeth, the mechanical arm held tight against the metal plate, his ears filled with the frantic squeals of rats and the sound of dense impacts.
After a while, the pressure on the shield suddenly decreased, lessened, and lessened further...
"Hoo hoo—"
Feng Ju let out a laugh from his throat, a mix of relief and exhilaration, yet distorted enough to send chills down one's spine.
"A bunch of stinky rats, get out of the way!"
He suddenly let out a venting growl, crushing a few rats that slipped through the gaps under his shoe, then forcefully flung the shield aside.
Smack—
Many of the rats clinging to the shield were flung off, those not shaken off slammed into the side wall of the pipe along with the shield, instantly crushed into a paste, juices flowing out.
