Chapter 141: Chapter 140: Catching the Invisible Rat
Dynamic Field of View +1!
Unfortunately, it only granted a Dynamic Field of View. The surrounding rats stared bewilderedly at their dead companion, completely unaware that they, too, had been summoned.
Yang Bo carefully memorized their appearance before reverting to his human form.
Startled by the sudden transformation, the summoned rats turned and scattered.
Taking another rat sample, Yang Bo transformed into a large rat. One glance at his new appearance told him it was the wrong type, but he decided to use Biological Summoning anyway.
When he looked at the little guys he had summoned, he realized they were the exact same batch of unlucky bastards from earlier. One of them even had a notch in its ear, likely from fighting with its peers.
"To a human, all these rats look practically identical. But as a rat, I can tell them apart easily." Yang Bo discovered another perk of the Disguise ability.
"Doesn’t this mean if I turn into a dog, my sense of smell will be incredibly sharp?
"If I turn into an eagle, my vision will be piercingly keen?
"If I become a cat, my balance and climbing skills will be off the charts?" In an instant, Yang Bo realized that certain animal instincts far surpassed human capabilities.
He firmly memorized this point. He figured he could prepare some animal samples at home. If he ever returned and sensed something amiss, he could transform into a dog to sniff out any intruders’ scents. Of course, Superpower Users generally didn’t leave any scent behind.
Half a day later.
Yang Bo looked at the last two biological samples in his hand and shook his head before a sudden thought struck him.
This time, as he turned to inspect his body, he immediately noticed a difference.
After transforming into this particular rat, he used Biological Summoning, letting out a few squeaks. Yet, there was absolutely no response.
Instead of being disappointed, Yang Bo was secretly overjoyed. He began running while continuously activating Biological Summoning.
He headed straight in the direction of the invisible rats’ nest.
Over ten minutes later.
Yang Bo felt something was off. He turned his head and realized several rats were following him. These weren’t ordinary rats; their coats were sleek and glossy, without a single scratch on them. In contrast, the previous batch had all borne various scars and rough, patchy fur.
"It has to be them. These invisible rats have a much easier time hunting insects and the like, so they’re well-fed and shiny." These rats were relatively large, about thirty to forty centimeters long, and covered entirely in black fur.
Yang Bo abruptly shifted back into his human form. Instantly, the rats behind him vanished into Invisibility. Had he not just been looking right at them, he would have genuinely believed there were no rats there.
He ran a distance away, summoned his Mecha, and pulled out the boxes he had prepared in advance.
These boxes were highly effective at isolating Energy. They were originally used to store the Energy Pillars. Since he had given the pillars to Iron Bull, only the empty boxes remained.
Yang Bo opened the boxes, moved to a different location, transformed back into the black rat, and initiated Biological Summoning once more.
Several invisible rats foolishly approached him again. Their beady little eyes were filled with confusion. It clearly wasn’t their own will; they seemed compelled by a coercive force.
Yang Bo attempted to guide them into the boxes, and to his surprise, the invisible rats actually walked right in.
Still in rat form, Yang Bo hurriedly slammed the boxes shut with his paw before reverting to a human.
The effects of Biological Summoning vanished the moment he became human. A frantic THUMP THUMP THUMP echoed from within as the little creatures scrambled around wildly in the cages.
He had already prepared small ventilation holes in the boxes. Catching sight of a tuft of rat fur poking out of one—likely because the creature had been squeezed against the side—Yang Bo reached out and plucked it to keep as a sample.
The five boxes now held nine invisible rats. His first summons had drawn five, but subsequent attempts only yielded a few more.
Transforming back into a rat, Yang Bo sorted the nine invisible rats by sex, pairing one male and one female per box. This filled four boxes, leaving the remaining bachelor male alone in the fifth box.
"Once I’m back, finding a suitable sealed room to train them will be enough." Yang Bo figured these invisible rats would be easy to tame. As long as he provided them with good food and water, they wouldn’t fear him even when he was in human form.
Yang Bo placed all five cages inside the Mecha’s cockpit. The cockpit had an air circulation system, so the environment wouldn’t affect the rats much, though they might go hungry for a while.
He had previously tested and confirmed that the Mecha’s cockpit could house live creatures. The entire Mecha acted much like a Spaceship during a spatial jump, where the interior maintained air and life support for its passengers.
As for why this contradicted the Dimension Company’s official claims, Yang Bo found it quite baffling himself.
Afterward, Yang Bo returned to the vicinity of where his escape pod had crashed. He dug a burrow in the wild grass, padded it with some dry weeds, and rolled around inside for a while. After creating the illusion that someone had been living there long-term, Yang Bo hurried over to check on the Mutants.
"My young friend!" Seeing Yang Bo return, Third Huang and the others quickly gathered around. A significant disagreement had arisen among the Mutants.
"What’s wrong?" Yang Bo was still dressed as a Mutant, though his entire body was concealed beneath his Battle Armor.
"My young friend, we’re having some disputes over where to build our city," Third Huang said straightforwardly.
"Let’s change locations first. This is still the Ash Organization’s stronghold, after all." Yang Bo intended to lead them away so Iron Bull could bring his herd over to feast on the Spaceship.
"What about the Spaceship?" Third Huang and the others didn’t actually have much attachment to the vessel anymore. Once they established trade with the Alliance, they would have access to all kinds of ready-made materials.
"The people from my organization will handle it. Don’t worry about it." The Celestial Pit was once again shrouded in clouds and mist. Yang Bo glanced at the Spaceship; it remained just as it was. As for whether anything inside was missing, he couldn’t be bothered to check.
"Alright then!
"By the way, my young friend, the fleeing members of the Ash Organization were killed by us," Third Huang mentioned casually, closely watching Yang Bo’s reaction.
Yang Bo’s movements paused for a split second before he replied, "Since they’ve been dealt with, let’s leave it at that!"
The Mutants relocated with all the hostages, traveling to a new location over two thousand kilometers away.
After the Mutants completely evacuated, the Iron Bull Brothers appeared in the Celestial Pit with their herd.
Looking at the massive Spaceship, Iron Bull and his brother bounced up and down in excitement. He let out a loud BELLOW, and the herd of rhinos—both large and small—immediately rushed forward to gnaw at the vessel. A few of the smaller calves couldn’t bite through the metal, but they gnawed away with all their might, drooling profusely.
Iron Bull used his single horn to savagely tear apart the Spaceship’s exterior armor, exposing the inner metal for the young calves to eat. After all, the internal metal wasn’t nearly as tough as the outer plating.
"My young friend, take a look. Everyone is arguing over these locations," Third Huang said, pulling out a map.
"Why are there so many blank spaces on here?" Yang Bo noticed that the map depicted the current planet. It featured five relatively large oceans—more like massive lakes—along with mountain ranges, grasslands, and other terrains. What puzzled him were the numerous empty areas scattered across it.
"My young friend, you truly aren’t from this planet. These areas are the territories of powerful Mutated Beasts. None of us dare to provoke them lightly," Third Huang explained upon hearing Yang Bo’s question.
