Chapter 546: Light and Darkness

These rat tribes, newly attached to the Ivory Kingdom, told the national teacher that they had lived a carefree life and were basically at the top of the food chain - after all, rats were huge beasts compared to ordinary insects or lizards, and there was little threat to them in the underworld except for the natural predator of the snake clan.

The snake tribe's adaptability to the environment and reproductive ability are actually far inferior to the rat tribe.

In the "Age of Calamity", the humans on the ground have been devastated, and the underground ecosystem has also been devastated, especially the extreme changes in the climate, which make it difficult for the snake tribe to adapt as cold-blooded animals, but the rat tribe, which is warm-blooded and unrestrictive, can survive.

Therefore, in the past, a rat tribe only had a little wisdom to be able to "have no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys were kings", and they lived very well, and had a crushing advantage over cockroaches, centipedes, lizards and even toads.

But since a few months ago, the situation has changed strangely - insects and low-level reptiles that were originally muddy and impossible to awaken their wisdom have been similar to bee colonies and ant colonies, with a high degree of organization and purpose, and they have killed these scattered and weak rat tribes several times, and even several rat tribes were overwhelmed by the insect tide, and all the rats were gnawed into white bones.

Next, some snake tribes appeared at the door of the terrified rat tribe.

Strangely, instead of wandering in and killing on a killing spree, they demanded that the rat tribes regularly contribute their harvest and release their hands to spy on a place called the "Fangs Kingdom".

These rat clans, originally developed alone in darkness and obscurantism, are equivalent to muddy barbarians, and they don't know what the Fangs Kingdom is.

Under the coercion and temptation of the snake clan and the insect tide, he could only agree to it.

While spying on the movements of the Fangs Kingdom, they also learned the origin of these mysterious but extremely ferocious insect tides and snake clans from the other side.

It turns out that just as the rat clan can highly evolve and develop a civilized force such as the Fang Kingdom, the snake clan has also evolved into a mutant known as the "snake demon" with high intelligence and ambition in the rolling wave of aura recovery.

Because there are too few underground snake tribes, and the snakes themselves are not suitable for the development of a highly organized society, the "snake demon" simply found another way and hit the insects with their ideas.

It is said that within half a year, the snake demon has controlled most of the ferocious insects within a radius of 100 miles, carrying acid or poison.

One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, naturally, it is also in the rising period, and the fanged kingdom, which is as vibrant as the rising sun, has become a thorn in the eye of the "snake demon", a thorn in the flesh.

The national teacher found out from the mouths of these rat tribes that it turned out that in the past few months, there had been several strange and missing patrols in the Long Fang Kingdom, all of which were killed by the army of snake demons.

And now, the snake demon is gathering all the insects and snakes within a radius of a hundred miles, these rat tribes have been in the vicinity for a long time, and they have not seen insects and snakes nearby.

The army suddenly gathered, there must be a goal that must be obtained, otherwise the daily consumption of tens of millions of insects is astronomical, unless the "snake demon" discovers the supermarket buried deep in the ground, it will never be able to afford it.

Thinking like this, the national teacher ordered the expeditionary force to go straight to several snake nests that had been dealt with and knew the exact coordinates, and sure enough, they all pounced, and in addition to leaving dozens of scattered snake skins in the winding snake nest, even half of the earthworm was missing.

And on the way to the country of tusks, they found a large area of wet traces, smeared everywhere with centipedes, horses, toads and other insects crawling on the track.

Through the mouth of the Rat tribe, the national teacher knew that the location of Luminous City had been exposed.

With a keen sense of smell, it judged that the "Snake Demon" must have led a large army and rushed straight to the lair of the rat civilization.

The national teacher made a quick decision, gave up all the trophies obtained from the expedition, and even left behind half of the weapons and wounded, and returned to the Luminous City as quickly as possible, and was really caught by it!

It's a pity that this is the first confrontation between the snake demon and the rat civilization.

The snake demon did not go into battle in person, and the one who had just collapsed under the Luminous City and was almost slaughtered was far from the real strength of the snake demon.

The contest between the two sides has just begun, and it is by no means the character of the rat clan to have revenge, this war will continue for a long time, and the next wave of war is destined to burn to the lair of the snake demon!

"The national teacher said that this is a sacred war, and it is also the last test left to us by the gods."

The cat eater waved his small paws and said with a serious face, "We represent goodness, light and justice, while snakes and demons and insect tides represent darkness, ugliness and evil, as long as we can completely exorcise the darkness and ugliness of the underground world, we can open the passage into the earthly world and rebuild the world after the fall of the gods!" ”

Chu Ge was slightly stunned, not understanding what the national teacher meant.

Yes, because of the limitations of their physiology, it is almost impossible for the insects and snakes to develop any effective civilization - or, in other words, there is a slight chance of a civilization that will be recognized by humans.

In the face of the mighty insect tide and snake swarms, humans will not hesitate, and the only option is to take up weapons and pesticides to wipe them out.

But they are also mammals, they can also make sounds, learn language and writing, and use their limbs to perform various complex movements, and the rat civilization still has a one-in-10,000 chance of getting the tacit approval of humans pinching their noses and becoming temporary allies.

Think of some sapient rats, wielding all sorts of small and delicate tools, toiling on levels beyond the reach of humans, underground tunnels, pipelines in high-rise buildings, dark and dirty spaces in ocean ships...... The two sides seem to have a lot of complementarity!

Standing on the standpoint of human interests, Chu Ge had to admit that the rat clan was "bright, kind, and just", while the snake clan and the insect tide were "dark, ugly, and evil".

But the national teacher said, "This is the last test of the gods, as long as this war is won, the rat clan can open the passage to the surface world and build the world after the fall of the gods", what does this mean?

It is impossible for the national teacher not to know that the human race has not fallen, and above the head of the Fang Kingdom is Lingshan City, which is full of lights and traffic, with millions of people!

Could it be that the national teacher has made up his mind to bring the Long Fang Kingdom to the surface and appear in the field of vision of mankind?

If this is the case, is it because he "spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain"? The national teacher is actually a good person, isn't it, a loyal dog?

Chu Ge remembered the national teacher's humble and loyal appearance again.

I was confused for a while.

Before he was confused, a herald ran over and said that the glow-in-the-dark city had been cleaned up and a large open space had been cleared, and the national teacher was gathering all the meritorious officials to prepare rewards and lectures.

That's basically a remake of the "identification and brainwashing" program that cat-eaters carry out after defeating the rat tribe.

It's just that the scale is hundreds of times larger, and the means are much more sophisticated.

When Chu Ge and the cat eaters arrived at the foot of the luminous city, they found that the corpses of the siege insects and snakes had been piled up in what was originally an earthworm ranch.

The flesh and blood are blurred corpses, piled up in the literal sense of the "mountain of corpses and sea of blood", there are countless gray squirrels and black rats, crawling around on it, breaking down edible meat and usable bones - the flesh of lizards, snakes and some centipedes can be eaten, and bones can also be ground into bone spears, bone axes and bone shovels, although not qualified to equip the regular army of the Ivory Kingdom, but it is still quite handy to use it as a labor tool or temporary weapon for slaves.

As for cockroaches, horses, toads, and all sorts of fragmented flesh that cannot be collected, they are simply buried under earthworm pastures and glow-in-the-dark plantations—nourished by these flesh and blood, the soil here will become extraordinarily fertile, and it will not be long before it will be a good harvest.

And under the luminous city, in front of those demon statues made of countless corpses and bones, tens of thousands of rat clans, neatly and silently, stood to greet their guide and savior.

Even though Chu Ge was vigilant, he was still deeply shocked by this dreamlike scene.

At the same time, he found that he really couldn't give birth to the slightest dislike for the national teacher.

Putting aside the treacherous purpose, the national teacher is really a person who is easy to like, no, dog.

What Chu Ge likes most about it is that it doesn't have a long story of demagogy and brainwashing as soon as it comes up.

Instead, with a wave of his paws, the slaves were served with an unlimited supply of food, so that the big guys could open their bellies and build hard.
