Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress-Chapter 369 : Disturbing His Precious Daughter’s Sleep is a Very Serious Matter

Chapter 369 - Disturbing His Precious Daughter's Sleep is a Very Serious Matter

Late at night.

In Tongjun City, the patrolling attendants, carrying lanterns, walked back and forth, inspecting the various streets.

One of them, bored, let out a yawn and said to his companion, "It's so boring..."

"Our Southern Clan Alliance has at least a hundred clans now, hundreds of thousands of people. How would that Dragon Emperor and her subordinates dare to provoke us~?"

"Isn't that the truth? They didn't even dare to defend an important city like this one. The moment they saw us, they fled without a trace~"

"Besides, we have the Demon Lord backing us up. There's nothing to worry about."

"Exactly! How about we find a place and go for a drink~?"

The more the two talked, the more they felt that continuing to patrol was a waste of time. They threw their arms around each other's shoulders, preparing to find a place to have some fun.

Tongjun City was now surrounded by barriers and great formations. Even if someone were to attack, they would be able to detect it immediately. So there was no need to worry about slacking off and causing trouble.

Just as the two were laughing and talking while passing a dark alley, they suddenly heard a faint squeaking sound from within.

The two stopped, their hearts tightening. After exchanging a glance and a nod, they drew the weapons at their waists and cautiously entered the alley with their lanterns raised.

Upon reaching the depths of the alley, one of them held the lantern forward to investigate. In the pitch-black alley, several rats were gnawing on a corpse on the ground!

"R-Rats...?!"

"Not good!"

"It's the Rat Demon Clan!"

"Quick, send the signal..."

The man in front, seeing the rats and the corpse, instantly felt something was terribly wrong and hurriedly spoke to the man behind him.

However, from behind came a dense, rustling sound, and he heard no response from his companion…

The man, holding the lantern, slowly turned his head, his expression terrified. He saw that countless rats had piled up behind him at some unknown time, and only half of his companion's hand was visible outside the swarm…

"Aaaah!"

The man let out a terrified scream, and the next second, he too was completely devoured by the swarm of rats!

In the quiet of the deep night, countless rats swarmed out from underground, from houses, and even from deep wells! The entire city of Tongjun was filled with a dense, surging army of rats!

People sleeping in their rooms were submerged by the rats before they could even react!

The rats gathered on the streets, piling up into a tidal wave! Wherever they passed, not a single blade of grass was left; they gnawed everything clean. Once devoured by the swarm, in the next second, only a pile of white bones remained!

DONG! DONG! DONG!

The warning bells rang through the night sky of Tongjun City. Everyone who was asleep or meditating was abruptly awakened. However, when some people woke up, they found their bodies were already covered in rats.

The person next to them might have even been gnawed down to half a body in their sleep...!

The Southern Clan Alliance's camp was teeming with swarming rats!

"Quick! Spread the rat extermination powder!"

"N-No! It's useless!"

"Why are these rats suddenly not afraid of the powder at all!"

At this moment, the entire Tongjun City and the Southern Clan Alliance camp were in chaos.

Fortunately, Hu Shan and the other clan chiefs, who had been studying how to march north and crusade against the Dragon Emperor all night, had not yet rested.

Hearing the commotion, they rushed to the camp at once. Seeing the rampant swarm of rats in the city and the camp, Hu Shan was also shocked.

The Rat Demon Clan was also one of the five great clans under the Dragon Emperor, and the one with the most terrifyingly astonishing numbers.

They were extremely adept at digging and burrowing, hiding in every crack and crevice. Ordinary barriers and formations were completely useless against them!

In all past major conflicts in the Beast Realm, the Rat Demon Clan was often one of the most feared and dreaded clans! Because they could always emerge from all sorts of places when you were completely unprepared and devour your clansmen!

Against the Rat Demon Clan, Hu Shan was not unprepared. When he had decided to march north, he had anticipated a surprise attack from them and had prepared a large amount of rat extermination powder in advance.

The powder contained a scent and a potent poison that the Rat Clan greatly feared and was a well-known essential item for dealing with them in the Beast Realm.

He had sprinkled the powder in every corner of the city and even around the camp in advance. However, for some reason, it had no effect this time!

Hu Shan waved his hand, slaying countless attacking rats. He focused his eyes and only then discovered that these rats were completely different from usual. Each of them had crimson eyes and sharp fangs, and they were much larger!

Although the rat extermination powder was still effective against these rats, they seemed to have gone mad, fierce and unafraid of death. The rats at the front would die upon contact with the powder, but the ones behind would immediately follow, treading on the corpses of their companions to advance!

With the terrifying number of rats, even if they just used their sheer numbers to rub against it, they could wipe away all the powder that had been laid down!

If the powder was useless, then they could only kill the rats by force!

"Everyone! Deploy your own barriers and exterminate the rats!" Hu Shan roared, instructing the crowd around him.

However, the melodious sound of a flute suddenly rang out. A vast number of rats crazily poured out from everywhere, their expressions growing even more frenzied, their bodies becoming even larger. Even some of the larger beast-people could be instantly submerged and gnawed down to their skeletons!

And the members of the Rat Demon Clan had all transformed into rats, lurking within the swarm.

Sometimes you might think it was just a simple rat, but the next second, as it pounced, it could transform into a rat-man in mid-air and assassinate you when you least expected it!

For a time, the entire Tongjun City and the Southern Clan Alliance camp were in a state of chaos and clamor. The Rat Demon Clan's midnight raid had caught everyone completely off guard.

In a certain corner room in Tongjun City, Ning Yechen was lying on the bed, resting with Luo Ruying and Luo Hongye in his arms.

Several rats quietly crawled out from under the ground and transformed into rat-men holding sharp blades.

Just as the several rat-men were about to swing the poisoned blades in their hands to assassinate them, Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying both abruptly opened their eyes at the same time.

In just an instant, a terrifying pressure directly stunned the several rat-men, rendering their bodies unable to move! A ball of demonic flame quietly ignited on their bodies, instantly devouring them and turning them into wisps of flying ash!

In order not to disturb the sleeping child, Ning Yechen didn't even give them a chance to speak.

He and Luo Ruying had already heard the squeaking of rats all over the city just a moment ago. To dare to crawl in here, their courage was truly commendable…!

Ning Yechen looked down at the peacefully sleeping Luo Hongye in his arms. Seeing that she hadn't been woken up, he lovingly stroked her little face, got up, and climbed off the bed.

"My wife, I'll leave the child to you."

"I'll be right back."

The moment he was off the bed, Ning Yechen's expression turned ice-cold, a frigid glint flashing in his eyes.

In the middle of the night, they just had to disturb the time he was resting with his wife and child!

Disturbing his precious daughter's sleep is a very serious matter!
