Chapter 8, Essence of Flesh
Soon after, this change appeared in all the cave mushrooms that sprouted on the underground lake. The cave mushrooms that were rooted on the corpse far away from the altar were stained with a touch of red, and those that were close to the altar were dyed red. The mushrooms have black spots.
Such a change attracted the attention of the rat people,
curiously focusing their attention on the bright mushrooms floating on the lake with the corpses of the rat people.
No one cares about the mushrooms that grow on moss. Undoubtedly, these bright red mushrooms are even more attractive.
Until the white rat curiously took out a cave mushroom with a light red color from a rat corpse.
A bold attempt took place, and the cave mushroom with a light red color was swallowed by the white mouse.
He couldn't help but dance in joy. Just looking at the happy expression of the white rat made all the peeping rat people understand a truth.
These red mushrooms seem to be good things, no! These red mushrooms must be something good!
At this time, even the spear rat couldn't sit still, and greedily approached the underground lake, trying to get the mushrooms inside, but was seen by the white rat who had come back to his senses. While roaring, White Rat and Du Yuan's followers surrounded the Spear Rat.
The spear rat who was stopped was not convinced, and called out to his men in anger. In this way, in this small cave, the two groups of rats faced off again.
Seeing that the second conflict was about to start, the neutral rats hurriedly hid aside until the changes in the underground lake appeared again.
A corpse near the altar was completely melted, as if melted, it was completely eaten and wiped clean by the mushrooms on it. Two mushrooms as bright as blood and dotted with black spots appeared, but along with What was left was a corpse that turned into skeletons and sank into the lake.
Two bloody mushrooms.
Regarding the two mushrooms, the Spear Rat and the White Rat looked at each other and made some kind of decision in an instant.
The spear rat has a deep greed, while the white rat has an urgent need.
In this way, the cunning leaders held their first meeting, and finally made a contract under the witness of two blood-red mushrooms.
The Spear Rat needs mushrooms, while the White Rat craves sacrifices. The glory of God requires a steady stream of sacrifices.
Just like that, the two most delicate mushrooms were swallowed by the spear rat and the white rat respectively. At this moment, changes appeared on the bodies of both rats. The spear rat became taller and stronger, and the spear rat became taller and stronger. The white rat's eyes became sharper and more agile, the spear rat became stronger and smarter, and the white rat became clever and mysterious.
The contract was reached, and the white rats and spear rats who had reached the consensus cast greedy glances at the group of neutral rat people.
Soon after, the underground lake once again received rich sacrifices. Countless blood-colored mushrooms grew among the floating corpses. Du Yuan's altar was decorated with a touch of red. The resentment of broken life and the murderous aura generated by the killing turned into a bloody aura. Received by the call of spring coiled around the sacred pillar.
The white rats and the spear rats had eaten their fill of the bloody mushrooms. The total number of rat people even dropped below five hundred, with less than three hundred remaining. Compared with when Du Yuan first met them, there were only The score was one-fifth or even less. It was hard to say whether Du Yuan could hold back after finding out.
And the initiators of all this, the White Rat and the Spear Rat, are still a little unfinished. If it weren't for the fact that there were not many rats left, I'm afraid these two rats would still want to throw some more rats into the underground lake. The white mouse desires that the altar will always be surrounded by ups and downs of sacrifices. Only in this way can he kneel down in front of the altar with satisfaction and pray to his gods.
The Spear Rat is greedy. After tasting the benefits of this bloody mushroom, it greedily desires more.
But there are not many ratmen left. As for the remaining ratmen, even the most greedy lords will not kill soldiers, because soldiers are the guarantee of their power.
The White Rat and the Spear Rat naturally understand this.
There are not many targets left to covet. Even though the timid Rat Man still has some instinctive fear of his neighbors, in the surge of greed and fanaticism, in the end a bold and crazy one The idea was finally born.
The Rats set their sights on their neighbors, the guys they were afraid of not long ago.
In the greedy eyes of the two mice.
It’s just that there are too few mice now. Still need to wait, still need to wait!
The next day, when Du Yuan came again, the corners of his mouth twitched violently and he lost his composure.
But no wonder he lost his composure.
Just one night! He had a total of eight hundred rats. After sleeping, he only had more than three hundred rats left, just for one night!
At this moment, Du Yuan really didn't hold back, especially when he could clearly see where the mice that had not fallen had gone.
Oh, at a glance, everyone is swimming!
They were all sacrificed. No wonder Du Yuan felt as soon as he appeared that his altar was so moist that it was almost bursting with water. It turned out that the power of faith was almost filled!
It’s a bit messy, it’s a bit messy!
Need to calm down a bit.
After a short period of calm, okay, he regretted choosing these ratmen. Maybe it would be a more correct choice to gamble on the fourth anchor.
But things have reached this point, and there is no choice left.
And he didn't understand why things turned out like this overnight, and in this underground cave, Du Yuan suddenly discovered something that didn't seem to be there.
Wait! Why are there mushrooms growing on the corpses in the underground lake, and they are still red mushrooms?
After some investigation, Du Yuan finally figured it all out and found the culprit.
It is the call of spring. To be precise, it is the call of spring after being inspired by Du Yuan.
The sacrifices made by these guys are inseparable from the bloody mushrooms in the underground lake, and the bloody mushrooms are either other things, or cave mushrooms, cave mushrooms created by the Call of Spring.
When Du Yuan woke up, almost a month had passed in the family world.
In this month, the Call of Spring, under the combined influence of the rat man's sacrifice and the bloody aura, has transformed from a green line at the beginning into a small grid clinging to the stone pillars of the altar.
At the same time, the mutation in the cave mushroom was also caused by it.
On the surface, it seems that the cave mushrooms grew on the corpses and produced some changes. In fact, the cave mushrooms growing on the corpses in the underground lake became the Call of Spring in Du Yuan's perception. In part, he borrowed the mushrooms that grew out of them, snatched the essence of flesh and blood from the corpses, and injected some of the resentment from the bloody aura into the mushrooms.
This caused the color change of the cave mushroom, and it was also because a part of the flesh and blood essence remained in it, or it was the flesh and blood essence remaining in the mushroom and some resentment of being abandoned.
Mainly the essence of flesh and blood, which gives these mushrooms infected by the Call of Spring some strange effects, and also causes the rat people to make fanatical sacrifices.
After Du Yuan woke up, his family members were cut in half again, which made it difficult for him to hold back.
It is not that he has no way to intervene in the growth of the Familia. Whether it is divine cards, cultivation methods, or power systems, these things are all possible.
But how did things come to be like this? He hadn't even taken action yet. Instead, these rat men found a way out on their own, and they still used such a strange and bloody method.
Even among evil gods, this method of blood sacrifice is quite evil.
And why is my divine card becoming so strange? You are obviously the Call of Spring, a serious life divine card, how could it become like this.
Although it cannot be said that there is no life.
After all, even the essence of flesh and blood can be squeezed, and the essence of flesh and blood also has another name, the essence of life.
Although it is strange, just say that He is alive or not!
