Chapter 20, the little surprise left by the rat man
The blood-red lines spread along the scales until the eyes became red, and even the size increased a bit.
The Spear Rat, who originally fought back and forth with the lizard man leader with the help of his personal guards, was at a disadvantage after the lizard man leader showed such a posture. It didn't even take long for the Spear Rat to stagger. Even the spear in his hand was interrupted by the lizard man leader.
Unable to defeat, without much hesitation, taking advantage of the opponent's attack posture, the Spear Rat broke away from the battle and fled into the crowd of rats. Even though he was a powerful rat man with heroic potential, the Spear Rat was in There's no ambiguity when it's time to run away.
Only a pair of dark red eyes were left peeping in the darkness.
The lizardman leader ignored the fleeing spear rat and rushed towards the ratman priest not far away with the big stick in his hand.
The rat priests did not have any fear, or in other words, they were in a state of madness and did not even notice the situation on the battlefield.
The spear rat did not give up so directly. Wanting to symbolically save a few priests, it jumped out from the group of rats and attacked the lizard man leader's back.
It just stopped halfway. The lizardman leader had been guarding against the spear rat's sneak attack, and the two sides faced off.
The Spear Rat made a judgment.
It can't be saved, not at all.
Amidst the sharp hissing, the personal guards who were fighting the lizard warriors received the signal and followed the spear rats as they retreated towards the dark mountains.
Not long after, as the three rat priests were smashed to death on the boulder and spread out into three pieces of rat cakes, the rat people without the blessing of madness were also panicked after regaining consciousness. Retreat, and a brutal night attack ended.
Leaving this messy camp behind, the lizard warriors waved their weapons and began to cheer for the victory.
Is it really that simple?
On the other side, the edge of the forest.
A group of Wuyangyang rats broke through the wooden wall at the edge of the forest, knocked down the towering sentry tower and set it on fire. Even the corpse was not given much respect and was thrown into the slow-moving river unwillingly. Ups and downs.
The fanatical priests continued to inject chicken blood into the ferocious and weak slave rats under their command while cheering.
Just when the Spear Rats led the rat warriors to attack the lizard man camp, a group of rat priests rushed out from the edge of the mountains through the holes dug in the mountains under the arrangement of the white rats.
The Wuyangyang launched an attack on the wooden wall built by the lizard people.
Although this group of rat men is not as strong as the rat warriors, and even because the main body is slave rat, most of the members are weak and skinny, but it does not matter.
This army has more fanatical priests. In the continuous superposition of madness, every rat slave is ready to sacrifice his last life for the gods, whether willing or not. plan.
Charging without fear of death, Shengsheng used his sharp claws to dig gravel to break through the wooden wall at the edge of the forest, and swept the surrounding lizardman outposts by the way.
During this process, the slave rats, who were weakened by hard work, were squeezed by the rat priests and fell in pieces. However, it was obvious that these rat priests did not particularly care about their subordinates. The lives of a pack of slave rats.
After the battlefield was cleaned and the corpses were piled together, the slave rats had more chance to breathe.
I reluctantly found some food at the edge of the forest.
Some sour berries, fresh green leaves, bugs, or some secretly hidden food found at the lizardman outpost.
Swallowing things into his stomach crazily.
Many slave rats even had their stomachs bulged because they ate grass and leaves too hard. The poor guys, ravaged by hunger for a long time, began to eat furiously.
Echoing this scene is the skyrocketing belief value. These slave rats are quickly becoming formal believers, even fanatic believers.
They looked at the rat priests not far away who were eating bright red blood mushrooms and chewing captured dried meat with greedy eyes.
Prayers that are so devout that they are almost crazy come from greed.
A few slave rats even became trainee priests on the spot.
Whenever such a lucky person is born, almost all the slave rats will look at them with envy to jealousy, greed to madness.
Du Yuan noticed all this, noticed this twisted scene, and stared at these poor guys, but he did not have the idea of sending an oracle to save these poor mice.
Because compared to them, he also had no choice. At this time, he was also looking up to those superior gods.
The short rest for these slave rats is over.
When the trivial sounds in the forest got closer and closer, the rat priests took the slaves carrying large and small bags of things and various resources and left in a panic.
When I left, I took away a lot of things, including the corpses of ratmen and lizardmen, dried meat piled by lizardmen as food in the outpost, and a large number of wooden sticks.
The fertile soil excavated from the forest, some blades of grass, and the logs removed from the wooden walls, many of which were wanted by the long-tailed priest. As the second-largest person in the priest group, the long-tailed man could not get his hands on the white rat. He mastered the sacrifice and harvest of blood mushrooms, but he took the cultivation of cave mushrooms into his own hands.
He wants all these messy things.
Of course, dragged down by these messy things, the team of ratmen suddenly became a lot bloated, but it didn't matter. In this deep night, the ratmen were not worried about being caught up by the lizardmen.
And it’s not like they didn’t leave something behind.
Such as the raging fire, the corpses piled up in the river, and some more special gifts.
The former will hinder the lizard people's footsteps, but it will be extinguished quickly. The forest is still very moist now, and the trees are not so easily ignited.
This is an easy problem to deal with.
But the rotting corpses piled up in the hidden corners of the river are different. If they are not discovered early, the entire river will be polluted. This is a small surprise.
As for those special gifts, they are not hard to find.
At dawn, the fire was completely extinguished with the efforts of the forest and the lizard people.
More lizardmen left the depths of the forest and gathered at the outskirts of the mountains and at the edge of the forest because of this war.
These lizardmen are led by an old lizardman holding an antler staff.
Although his face is very ugly now, because there is a simple altar with stones piled up and blood-painted patterns in front of him, and there are lizard-man heads pierced by wooden sticks on the outside of the altar. .
This is the little surprise left by the rat priest.
