Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

The real name of the Smiling Rat was never known to the Skin-Flaying Rat. Even his appearance was always hidden under a big bamboo hat, and few people had ever seen his true face.

This can be learned from the reincarnations of other rat kings. The Smiling Rat is always heard but never seen, or he simply stands in the shadows and does not show up.

Regardless of his strength or not, his status has been maximized.

Among the Five Rats, Yan Lie, the Skinning Rat, had followed the Smiling Rat the longest. Even so, he had only seen the other's true face once by chance.

It was a rat's face.

When Chen Changfan experienced that scene personally, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

A rat head with a human body, what the hell is this thing!

In Chen Changfan's understanding, there are no such creatures as monsters in this world.

And that smiling rat can be confirmed with 100% certainty that he is a genuine transcendent being.

But this guy seems to have learned a lot of different things. He seems to know some techniques from sorcerers, warlocks, and warriors. He is really mysterious.

Although we have not seen the true strength of the Smiling Rat, judging from the many signs he has shown, this person's strength may have reached the fifth level.

Moreover, this person seems to have a close relationship with the Witch God Cult.

Could it be that this smiling rat actually has the inheritance of the Witch God Cult?

However, while he launched a massive attack on the Rat Gang, the Witch God Cult on the side did not take any action.

This is really puzzling.

After thinking about it for a while, Chen Changfan still couldn't figure out what the relationship between the two was.

After all, there is too little information about this Smiling Rat, and the Witch God Cult is too mysterious, so there is not enough information for him to refer to and analyze.

"From now on, focus your intelligence on the Wushen Cult. We must also strengthen our own strength as quickly as possible."

Chen Changfan fixed his eyes on the map on the wall. Among all the forces in Qingshan County, apart from his Xiaofengzhuang and Chai Feng's Chaijiabao, the Wushen Cult was the most powerful.

After getting rid of the Rat Gang, they expanded their territory, provided further strategic depth for Xiaofengzhuang, and opened up a passage to Qinghe County.

But on the other hand, it also indirectly eliminated a powerful competitor for the Wushen Cult. If his prediction was correct, the Wushen Cult would start its expansion mode in the future and quickly devour the small forces around it.

By then, perhaps a subtle three-way balance of power will be formed.

Perhaps the Witch God Cult also took this into consideration and was reluctant to turn its attention to him.

After all, if he starts a war, he will be attacked jointly by Xiaofengzhuang and Chaijiabao.

The situation in Qingshan today has gradually become clear, and it is only a matter of time before a war breaks out between him and the Wushen Cult.

In addition, we must also be on guard against the missing smiling rat.

Chen Changfan had a bad feeling when he thought that he might be secretly being targeted by a fifth-level transcendent. If he really went to the Wushen Cult, he would indeed be a very difficult enemy.

Chen Changfan had a vague guess that the old silver coin who was secretly causing the natural disaster was most likely the Smiling Rat, or someone from the Witch God Cult.

"You old silver coin, I'm going to find you sooner or later!"

Chen Changfan called out the panel and displayed the rewards for this skinning rat reincarnation.

[Reward 1: Skinning Knife Skill]

[Reward 2: Heart of Forbearance]

[Reward 3: Torture Method]

He directly chose the skinning knife technique. As Chen Changfan expected, this knife technique was also a second-level martial art.

Recalling the point exchange function, he directly chose to activate it.

[Activation completed! Currently there are remaining exchange points. Do you want to spend points to fuse the second-level martial arts?]

At the same time, the ancient characters of [Blood Flame Sword Technique] and [Skinning Sword Technique] on the panel flickered in light and darkness at the same time.

"If I fuse two second-tier martial arts, can I get a third-tier martial art?"

Chen Changfan rubbed his hands expectantly.

It only cost a little, which was much lower than he had imagined.

After all, in the past, 100 fusion points were not enough to fuse the second-level martial arts, but after the exchange system was activated, the system directly gave him a % discount.

Is this the hidden benefit of enabling new features?

With a thought, he directly merged the two sword techniques.

[Obtain Soul-Breaking Sword Technique (Level 3 Martial Arts)]

"Soul-breaking Sword Technique? The name sounds quite impressive, but I wonder how effective it would be in actual use."

Chen Changfan drew out the blood-red scimitar and swung it lightly in the air in front of him.

Suddenly, a sound.

A faint green flame suddenly rose from the bloody scimitar, like a ghost fire in the dark night, looking extremely strange.

The flame looks pretty cool, but I can't feel any warmth at all.

Instead, it gives people a cold feeling, as if the temperature around it has dropped a lot.

He vaguely felt that this green ghost fire was unusual and wanted to test it further.

"Fang Chang!"

Hearing the shout, Fang Chang trotted in and saw his master holding the bloody scimitar with an inquiring look on his face.

"Sir, what do you want me to do?" Fang Chang asked cautiously.

"Just now, when I was practicing swordplay, I suddenly realized something. Come practice with me for a while."

Chen Changfan said lightly, but Fang Chang couldn't help but look a little bitter.

"Sir, what have I done wrong? If you want to kill me, you have to give me a reason..."

What a joke!

With my master's swordsmanship, he only needs two strikes to kill a fourth-level warrior, so killing myself is as easy as eating.

Chen Changfan was a little surprised when he heard Fang Chang's words. When he saw the uneasy expression on Fang Chang's face, he finally reacted.

Isn't this guy usually carefree? Why is he so afraid of me?

He said with a helpless tone, "Don't worry, I will try my best to restrain my strength. I have just comprehended this sword technique, and my level is not high."

After hearing this, Fang Chang felt a little relieved.

Since this is a sword technique that has just been mastered, how terrifying and powerful can it be?

Maybe I can take advantage of my master's lack of proficiency in his newly acquired swordsmanship and gain the upper hand?

He drew the sword from his waist and said, "Sir, please let the horses come over!"

Chen Changfan nodded slightly, then activated the Soul-Slaying Sword Technique and slashed lightly towards Fang Chang.

Keng!

The two swords crossed, and to Fang Chang's surprise, the master's sword was actually not very powerful.

"Sir, please don't go too easy on me. My Fuhu sword technique is not for the faint of heart!"

As he spoke, Fang Chang's eyes became serious, and he no longer held back, his sword moves with great force.

Clang clang clang!

The two men started fighting in the cave. For a while, Fang Chang kept attacking, while Chen Changfan just let go with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Sir, if you don't make a move, I'm going to force you into a corner, hehe!"

Fang Chang would never dare to hit Chen Changfan like this on a normal day. He suddenly became excited and put all his strength into his arms to chop him down with a knife.

The next moment, a flash of green flame appeared on the scimitar in Chen Changfan's hand. He immediately felt a pain in his arm and almost couldn't hold the scimitar.

"What kind of trick is this?" Fang Chang looked horrified.
