Chapter 170: The Nature of a Liar
ยท
It is rumored that personality determines the qualification of each person's mana, and to put it in layman's terms, natural liars have a higher chance of being born with hallucinatory mana. Even if some people are sealed with mana, their essence will never change.
Soon after crossing the mark, they encountered four rat men. They wore dirty strips of cloth tied around their wrists and calves, wrapped in simply sewn rag hides barely used as clothing, clutched crude daggers made of scrap iron strips in their hands, a wok on top of their head as a helmet, and a round bronze mirror that had long been broken in their left hand presumably as a shield.
They stopped far away, staring at Yuan Huang and the others, keeping their vigilance. It's a patrol of the "Red-Eyed" tribe or something.
"Be careful, all daggers must be poisoned." After whispering to a few people behind her, Hera Nana stepped forward and said, "Hello, from the 'Red Eye' tribe! We are a new tribe in the West, come and meet your chief! "The nezumi distinguish each other by taste, and they can't pretend to be their companions from the same "red-eyed" tribe to get through the tricks, and if they lie that they are from other tribes, there is also a risk of goofing, so they can only make up a new one.
It sounded like human language to Genhuang's ears, but in fact, it had passed through the mouth of the rat man and turned into a message that both parties could understand. The patrolling nezumi looked at each other, and soon bared their teeth at Herana and roared, "Get out of here!" The Leader will not see you! โ
This posture seemed to be as long as Yuan Huang and the others continued to step forward, they would immediately attack, after all, they had already stepped into the territory of the "Red Eye" tribe, which made them very unhappy.
Yuan Huang was a little surprised: "There's nothing to talk about?" โ
Hera Nana nodded, thinking it was bad luck this time. "So, great Lord Loyalty, has come to show you what you can do?"
"Huh? โฆโฆ Well. โ
Yuan Huang's cheeks twitched, he was going to go on it in person so soon? He stepped forward and said, "We have a lot of food, and we have come to trade with your chief!" โ
When Hera Nana heard this, she immediately raised her forehead.
Sure enough, the rats seemed to be even more upset when they heard this, and let out a deterrent roar: "Humans are trading, we steal, get out!" "It seems that Yuan Huang said the wrong thing.
Yuan Huang also realized that he had said the wrong thing. But he didn't realize that lying was not his forte, and he was good at continuing to make up lies and making it up more and more. How can you return now? He raised the rail rifle in his hand and shouted, "This is what I stole from humans!" โ
Silence.
Obviously, the other party was fascinated by the beautiful metal staff in front of him, and he also wanted it.
Yuan Huang continued, "I didn't just steal the human staff! Stealing human magic! It also stole a lot of food from humans! I've now achieved the "ultimate stealing of the nezumi people" - the idea of human trade! โ
Before the words fell, Hera Nana held her forehead again.
Sure enough, the rats were completely stunned and at a loss. Because Hera Nana had already instructed that the intelligence and language of the rat people were very inferior, and what Yuan Huang said just now was too complicated and tongue-twisting, and the rats couldn't understand it at all.
Yuan Huang found that the other party didn't understand, so he changed his words and said simply: "Because Lao Tzu stole the "transaction" of human beings!" So Lao Tzu is the king of stealing! He is the king of the rat people! โ
Hera Nana covered her face with her hands completely. It's her fault, she forgot to tell Yuanhuang, although the rat people are despicable and shameless, they are extremely loyal, and there are rare things like traitors. King, you fart!
After hearing this, the rats squeaked and laughed a few times, and suddenly there was a killing intent, and they all bowed their waists and lowered their heads to show a fierce light.
"Kill!"
The leading nezumi gave an order, and all the nezumi pounced with daggers in their hands, and those were all quenched with poison! Frightened, Sophia screamed and ducked back, and several giant mice the height of a half-grown child pounced quickly, far faster than humans, and the girl who was originally afraid of mice was completely frightened at this moment.
Yuan Huang hesitated, as if he had been instructed not to kill on a large scale just now, otherwise he would scare away all the rat people and not one would be left.
Gran grabbed in front of Yuan Huang, raised his lightsaber and slashed head-on, and the rat leader who was about to rush to the front of the wok! A dazzling light suddenly rose in the dark sewers, and the strongest of the several nezumi was killed with a single blow, which made the anger and killing intent in the hearts of the rest of the rats instantly replaced by fear and cowardice, and they all stopped.
Worst!
โฆโฆ No, it's fine. They don't seem to be running away yet.
Yuan Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he never expected that just killing one would almost scare all the rat people away, this is too timid, right? Can you really be sent into battle as a soldier?
"Say it again! Let me see your chiefs! "Yuanhuang big hand...... Ah no, the big claw said with a wave of advice.
The rats looked at each other, squeaked in a low voice, and finally replied "Okay", and then clamped the rat's tail and led the way for Yuan Huang and the others in front.
Yuan Huang looked very happy, and whispered to Hera Nana, "It looks very simple. โ
"You're in luck." Only Hera Nana, who had hunted the rat people many times, knew how coincidentally the deterrent effect caused by Gran's slash just now was, stuck between the two states of "submission" and "rout" of the rat people, which can only be said to be lucky.
"Can these guys really come in handy, though?"
Hera Nana scoffed at Yuan Huang's question, and nu the mouse's mouth to let him look around. As Yuanhuang and his party went deeper and deeper along the sewers, the fluorescent mushroom moss gradually increased, and the light gradually brightened, and Yuanhuang finally spotted the countless rat people lurking around the vicinity - after only a five-minute walk, Yuanhuang was sure that he had seen thousands of floating around, they were crowded and dirty and ugly, but almost every paw held a quenched dagger, and his eyes showed a red fierce light.
Quantity is violence.
Hera Nana added, "Not just in number, but their fighting style is very similar to that of human thieves, and they win with dexterity and agility, which can give them an advantage in the trenches. And their fur is far more hardy than that of the Fire Clan. โ
But it's not hard for Yuan Huang to imagine...... After one of the Fire Clan people blew himself up, the other Nezumi were so frightened that they fled...... Is it worth the drive?
After walking behind the nezumi patrol for a long time, the surroundings suddenly became open, and it seemed to be the location of the sewage treatment center, and the light became brighter. Squeaking open a "door" made of two broken iron plates with many strange trinkets, Yuan Huang finally saw the leader of the nezumi.
It is more than 1.7 meters tall, which is extremely burly among the nezumi, with large shoulder and arm muscles and belly, and a pair of red bean eyes that seem to be very smart...... At least smarter than the other nezumi, right?
Yuan Huang looked at Hera Nana and asked with his eyes if he wanted to salute a huge rat king. Nor did Hera Nana know that she had never had the opportunity to learn how to salute the nezumi leader.
Creak.
The leader of the nezumi let out a few secret signals, and countless heavily armed nezumi suddenly appeared around the wide space like a tidal wave, ready to pounce at any time.
"Ah......" Sophia was directly frightened and fainted.
