Looking at the Rat King's skinny, pointed face still full of fierce malice, and its body unmoving, Xia Hong's brows furrowed slightly as he raised his hand towards the people behind him.
"It works!"
The moment he raised his hand, a flash of fear in the Rat King's eyes was fleeting yet caught by Xia Hong, bringing him a flicker of joy.
"Don't shoot, just hold the pose, see if it dares to advance!"
To be honest, though they hadn't confronted the Rat King head-on, just based on the fact that his own strike had only hit its underarm, and Zhao Long and the other two's arrows caused some wounds.
Most likely, in its full strength, they wouldn't stand a chance against the Rat King.
Although the Rat King was forced out and poisoned by Teng Jiao, they were unsure how much its strength was affected, and recklessly engaging it could cost them dearly.
Exaggerating a bit, even total annihilation wasn't out of the question.
