These Familiars Are Strange-Chapter 162: Rat
Huang Tuo narrowed his eyes to look at the new monsters that appeared, but it didn’t seem like there was a trace of panic that was in his eyes.
That was because there was no need for him to panic.
He could easily see that these monsters that appeared weren’t that strong in the first place.
Even if they had surrounded them, it wasn’t as if they would be able to do much to him.
As for the others…well, he simply didn’t care about them.
In the first place, he was just using those that flocked around him, so it didn’t matter to him what happened to them. If they fell to the weak monsters that appeared, then that was all that they were worth. Enjoy new tales from novelbuddy
However, Huang Tuo soon realized that this wasn’t the case.
"These monsters…they’re too organized…"
While fighting the sets of living armour with guns, Huang Tuo was also paying attention to the monsters that appeared behind them. And when he looked carefully at them, he noticed that they were fighting in formation.
The three different kinds of monsters were all working together, which made them stronger than normal.
The ogres used their flames to attack, the manta rays controlled the wind to make the flames stronger, and the living armour finished off anyone that was dazed by the flames.
The other thing that he noticed was that these monsters didn’t finish anyone off.
Since they were monsters of the dungeon, one would think that they wouldn’t have any qualms about taking the lives of humans that invaded the dungeon. But this wasn’t the case with these monsters.
When the ogres and living armour went in to attack, it seemed that they deliberately held back from dealing the final blow. It seemed that they always aimed to injure rather than to kill.
"A rat, it seems that a rat has slipped in." Huang Tuo muttered to himself when he realized this.
However, there was also a trace of surprise that was in his eyes after he realized this.
After all, he never thought that there would be someone that would have the ability to control the monsters.
Yes, there was someone that was controlling the monsters or else they would be this organized.
This was the first time that Huang Tuo had actually felt surprised since coming into this dungeon. And it was certainly the first time that Huang Tuo has felt surprised because of another one of the teams.
In his eyes, the only teams that were qualified to be on the same level as him were the other top contenders. But now it seemed that there was this dark horse team that was hiding in the dark manipulating the monsters.

"Humph, they don’t even dare show their faces. It doesn’t matter what tricks they play, they won’t be able to do anything."
Though he said this, he still changed the way that he acted.
He no longer focused purely on the living armour with guns, he turned his attention to the new monsters that appeared. It wasn’t just the living armour with guns that he had to deal with, he also had to take care of these other monsters as well before they could play any tricks.
But he found that he actually wasn’t able to do anything to them.
The manta rays stopped all of his attacks.
When he used the flames to attack them, the manta rays would summon currents of air to redirect the flames that he sent at them. The currents of air would make the flames stronger, but they also followed those currents of air away from the monsters.
It wasn’t strong enough to completely divert it, but it was enough to create gaps for the other monsters to dodge out of the way.
So Huang Tuo just couldn’t take care of them.
The other reason was because he was diverting flames to dealing with the living armour with guns as well, so his full attention wasn’t on these monsters that intruded afterwards.
It seemed that unless he gave them his full attention, he wouldn’t be able to take care of them…
In that case, the only thing that he could do was take care of the living armour with guns first.
Or that would have been the case if not for…
There was this large scale barrier that suddenly appeared around the living armour with guns that stopped his flames. It seemed that no matter how he concentrated the flames, he wasn’t able to penetrate this barrier.
So Huang Tuo had no choice but to back down temporarily.
He didn’t make any moves after backing down since he could tell that whatever had created this barrier was about to make a move. Something that could make a barrier that could even stop his flames definitely wasn’t ordinary.
It seemed that the Master Gnome was finally about to show itself.
And that was what happened.
But it was different from the hologram earlier.
This Master Gnome did have the same physical appearance, but he was covered in all kinds of different equipment. It seemed like he was some kind of cyberpunk warrior with the way that he was equipped with all of this.
The first thing that the Master Gnome did after appearing was aim the cannon on his hand at the living armour.
The look on his face seemed to be filled with anger and before he fired that cannon, he seemed to say something. It was just that no one was able to understand what the Master Gnome was saying since there was a language barrier.
But based on the look on his face, it seemed to be something on the lines of…
"How dare you betray me!"
The living armour that he pointed the cannon at weren’t the ones with guns, but the ones that came afterwards to attack the different teams of humans.
But the fact that they were working with the manta rays and ogres showed that they had betrayed the gnomes.
So that was why the Master Gnome as the leader of the gnomes was filled with rage towards them.
