The rat people are similar to humans, with human-like heads but mouse claws and tails.

They can climb quickly on the rock walls, making them well-suited for battles in terrain like the Sinkhole Mountain.

Many rat people have undergone severe mutations, with parts of their bodies starting to decay and even exposed internal organs.

Individually, rat people are not strong in combat, and even I can handle them barehanded.

However, the Sinkhole Mountain is vast, and there are too many rat people, densely packed as far as the eye can see.

There are easily over ten thousand rat people in the entire Sinkhole Mountain.

I adjusted the communicator to the internal channel of the White Dragon:

"Bajie, provide long-range fire support. Goku and I will deal with the stragglers."

The massive cannons of the White Dragon deployed, and intense bursts of fire poured towards the surrounding rock walls.

For a moment, the walls of the Sinkhole Mountain trembled, and countless rat people rushing towards the White Dragon suffered casualties.

A single bullet could tear a rat person in half, while those who approached were cleaved in two by my plasma sword.

Sun Goku activated his combat prosthetic, and a long staff emerged from his spinal column.

With the assistance of the propulsion device, Sun Goku instantly tore a gap in the encirclement of rat people with his staff.

The high heat and explosive properties of the staff plowed a long trench in the ground of the Sinkhole Mountain.

The rat people who suffered losses began to panic, but soon, a piercing scream echoed throughout the entire Sinkhole Mountain.

All the rat people fell into a frenzy, and their attacking methods changed.

The rat people at the rear started digging tunnels, attempting to launch an attack from underground.

Apparently, the owner of the piercing scream was the rat people's leader, but even with Goku activating thermal imaging, we couldn't find him.

Countless rat people charged forward in madness, and Goku and I quickly found ourselves in a bitter battle.

I had to open the communicator again and frantically call the White Dragon's interior:

"Bajie, Bajie, how much longer for Sandy?"

Bajie didn't respond, but the voice of Sha Wujing came through:

"Stop rushing me! Five minutes at most!"

Goku and I exchanged a glance, clearly knowing that we couldn't hold on for that long.

I gave Goku a look, instructing him to hold the line for a while as I went to find the rat people's leader.

Goku nodded, and I opened the White Dragon's armory.

Inside, there was a set of mecha armor. Unfortunately, the mecha's group attack capabilities were limited, and it was more geared towards individual assaults.

Moreover, after the mutation-enhanced prosthetic project was approved, mecha warfare became a burden.

However, this set of mecha armor was my favorite.

The reason was simple. When I was purifying the land, I found a manga called "Neon Genesis Evangelion."

Now, the mech armor, painted in purple, slowly started up from the White Dragon, and crimson light emitted from its eyes.

I roared:

"Engage! Unit-01!"

The deep purple mech armor shot out from the White Dragon's armory, leaving a trail in the sky.

The more powerful thermal imaging device activated, and a massive sphere of light appeared in my field of vision.

The rat people's leader was hiding in a cavern fifty meters underground, using the complex cave structure to amplify and transmit sound.

No wonder Goku's thermal imaging eyes couldn't find him!

Unit-01, resembling a purple projectile, charged directly towards the rat people's underground nest, and its enormous spear pierced the ground.

Under the tremendous impact, the ground shattered, and the massive pink female rat person was split in half.

All the rat people instantly lost their leader and fell into an even more frenzied state.

At this moment, the White Dragon had finished repairs and swiftly took off from the Sinkhole Mountain.

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, a colossal shadow cast over the entire Sinkhole Mountain...
