Chapter 1, Desert and Rat People
In the desolate woodland.
A group of short figures knelt down in front of a stone pillar carved with mysterious patterns, shouting something loudly. From time to time, figures would emerge from the cracks in the caves stacked with mountains and rocks, joining this group. The shouting team.
Not long after, it gathered into a huge sound wave, and a mysterious connection was established, and a vague shadow appeared in the sky.
Shadow’s face didn’t look good.
Because of the barrenness of the area, and because of the types of creatures that prayed to him.
What was shouting and praying to him was a sea of dwarf mice.
Du Yuan really won the lottery, but he didn’t win the grand prize, but the lottery.
No matter the desert or the rat people, neither one is a good choice. It stands to reason that although he uses the sacred fire altar to place anchor points, it is no better than the blessings of various divine objects from those well-off guys.
But there should be an average, but what is this? A desert, one of the most unsuitable environments for anchoring. The barren environment can make any trainee god whose family needs food miserable.
Ratmen are one of the most unsuitable races to be chosen as a Familia. They are cunning, cowardly, weak, and have extremely poor organizational skills. Although they have strong fertility and are easy to feed, their souls are weak. The faith provided by the three ratmen believers is comparable. A standard believer in the intelligent race.
Compared with the Ratmen, even the Goblins seem to have some advantages. At least the Goblins can fight a little better than the Ratmen.
Du Yuan covered his forehead and had a headache.
He kind of wants to give up this anchoring. Maybe it would be wiser to prepare for the next anchoring early, but this is Du Yuan’s third anchoring, and the academy will only provide four free anchors. Determined opportunity.
It is not easy for apprentice gods to successfully anchor, and there is a chance of failure.
The divine fire circle will only rigidly place anchors into qualified world fragments. The breath of the gods will instinctively attract nearby intelligent races. If the attracted intelligent creatures can be successfully attracted to themselves before the breath of the gods dissipates, Offer your faith and build a connection.
That is considered anchoring success.
On the contrary, the anchoring fails.
For the first three times, Du Yuan met a group of deer people for the first time, a very good starting family. Du Yuan used the spirit rain technique to seduce the deer people inside, and he was about to succeed. However, the deer people elders noticed Du Yuan's presence and left with all the deer people.
Anchor failed.
The second time, a group of fishmen had a strong desire to believe in Du Yuan, and many more believers appeared at once.
But the Nagas who surrounded them did not agree with this. Soon after, all the fishmen were killed, and Du Yuan's temporary anchor point was also surrounded by this group of Nagas. .
The priest who arrived later broke it into pieces on the spot.
Anchor failed.
The third time it was this group of rat men, and they were the rat men who caused trouble. Du Yuan, who was floating in the sky, saw a group coming out of the forest in the distance through his condescending vision. The lizard men, they rushed straight towards the location of the rat men, obviously coming towards this group of rat men.
He was helpless, but he didn't dare to gamble anymore. If the next time was worse or even more outrageous, then he would have nothing to do with the word god for the time being.
After all, except for the free number of times in the academy, his family does not support him to perform the divine fire ceremony again.
And according to rumors, the anchoring location provided by the academy this time is somewhat special. It would be great if you could gain a foothold there, although those who spread the news couldn't tell the truth. What will happen?
There are not many opportunities, and there is no way. Even facing a double difference, Du Yuan has to try to break the game.
He cast his gaze at the rat man praying beneath him. Perhaps because his expectations were low enough, he unexpectedly discovered some bright spots.
This group of rat people is quite large, numbering in the thousands. Compared to the two or three big cats and kittens encountered in normal divine fire rituals, and at least a dozen or more, but no more than a few hundred of each initial race, this group of rat people is much larger. Outrageous.
But the rat people have a strong breeding ability. Thinking of this, this number seems reasonable.
The current situation has forced him to wait for the price and patiently choose.
But since he had no choice, Du Yuan was still prepared to verify the widely circulated claims.
Just like the combat effectiveness and morale of the rat people. If you really can't muster any desire to fight and are too cowardly to just run away, then even if the chance next time is slim, you can only take another gamble.
Focus on the lizard man coming from a distance.
The number of lizardmen is only fifteen, and there are thousands of ratmen gathered here. If one thousand against fifteen ratmen can't defeat this group of ratmen, then even if they are betting on the last one Given the chance, Du Yuan would never choose them.
The power of faith below continues to come, and the rat men who kneel on the ground are constantly transformed into followers of Du Yuan. The trend is urgent and urgent.
But after Du Yuan took a closer look, he found that almost all of them were shallow believers.
But it’s not a big problem. Since it’s these rat people who are praying for my coming, then they should accept my test. This makes sense.
A golden light burst out from the stone pillar, and a picture immediately appeared in the minds of the surrounding rat men. In the picture, there was a lizard man and a simple word coming from afar.
Probably it means.
Kill!
At this moment, the messy prayers surrounding the stone pillars came to a halt. The rat people looked at each other in confusion. This was a well-understood meaning. The unknown god on whom they placed their hope made a request.
They were driven out of the forest by this group of lizardmen, and they couldn't help but hesitate a little.
While the rat people were still hesitating, the lizard people not far away were getting closer and closer, and had already appeared in the rat people's sight.
It caused a commotion. Facing the approaching lizard men, these rat men subconsciously wanted to escape.
At this moment, a rat man stood up.
In front of the stone pillar, the rat man straightened up, waved the wooden spear in his hand, and shouted loudly in a sharp voice.
"We are going to kill those lizardmen!"
No response was received. The other ratmen still looked obedient. Without hesitation, the ratman wielding a wooden spear stabbed the nearest one to death with one spear. A submissive rat-man.
Shouting loudly again with a sharp voice.
“We are going to kill those lizardmen!”
Looking around with red eyes, this time no ratman dared to hesitate.
"We are going to kill those lizardmen!"
Just like that, a sparse shouting sounded. After repeated several times, the ratmen all over the mountains and plains shouted in that sharp voice.
Preparations for the war are complete.
"Kill them! Sacrifice to the gods!"
The rat people followed the same pattern as the speared rat people and shouted together, in a mess, and toward the distant place. The lizardmen charged.
This scene was seen by Du Yuan in the sky.
A little more relieved.
At least these guys are not that cowardly.
His eyes did not stay on the charging rat-men for a long time. There was really nothing to appreciate in this kind of charging. Instead, he looked at the wooden spear rat who stood up first. On people.
He seems to have the potential to become a hero.
