"Squeak!"

Chief, what do we do next?

Guarding the swarm of rats carrying the fungus, Ron returned to the tunnel, and immediately, the long beard who managed the rat colony in the tunnel came up and asked the rat colony for its next plan.

Ron, on the other hand, looked at the bustling rat swarm in the tunnel and began to think.

The original territory obviously can't go back, because the giant mud monsters attracted by the rat hunters fighting each other don't know when they will leave, after all, the mud monsters are not very athletic creatures, and after devouring enough flesh and blood, these lazy gum creatures prefer to stay where they are and digest well.

In front of the cave, there are two insect castles, one red and one black, two giant beetles stationed next to the insect castle, even if the moonlight rat swarm has three combat power at this moment, Ron is still not confident that he can eliminate the insect swarm, so that the moonlight rat swarm can turn the entire cave into his own living space.

So what's next?

"Gollum~"

Ron's gaze scanned back and forth among the rats, and suddenly a hungry belly roar rang out, drawing Ron's gaze to the source of the sound.

Immediately, two moonlight rats, which were thinner than normal and had collars around their necks, fell into Ron's eyes.

"Huh, are they?"

These two moonlight rats with collars are the test rats that Ron used to test whether the fungus is poisonous, and they have always been in the hands of Shadow, and Ron did not expect that when the rat group was facing the disaster of extinction, Shadow still brought these two test rats with him.

It was also because of the two test rats that Ron immediately thought about the problems that the rat colony was facing.

Food!

Although the nature of the moonlight rat makes most of the moonlight rats bring some food when gathering the rat colony, how many days can they eat the food they carry with them?

"Squeak!"

Shadow!

Feed them mushrooms!

Ron's gaze swept over the rat colony again, and under Fang Cai's order, hundreds of moonlight rats swept away the insect swarm fungus Tanaka mushroom, no matter how big or small.

This was originally Ron's precaution, after all, there was not much food, and the two test rats had already eaten the fungus several times, and there was no sign of poisoning, and the rats could also try to eat the fungus if necessary.

And now, now that Shadow has brought both test rats over, let's continue the experiment!

So, at Ron's command, Shadow pulled the two test rats out of the colony, and then the moonlight rats piled the fungus together, allowing the two test rats to let go of their bellies and eat.

"Squeak!"

I have to say that the sweet smell of the mushroom is too strong, even if he doesn't bite into it, just looking at the two lab rats trying to gnaw and the juice splashing, Ron feels as if a small hand is scratching in his stomach, and a wave of hunger is surging.

"Gollum~"

Obviously, Ron was not the only one who felt this way, as the rats watched the two test rats eat, and the rats immediately heard the sound of swallowing saliva and chirping in their abdomen.

And until the two test rats had eaten their bellies into balls, they were still alive and well.

"Squeak!"

I've eaten so much, it shouldn't be poisonous, right?

Letting the Shadow take the two well-fed lab rats away, Ron walked over to the mushroom pile, grabbed one with his paws, and immediately the rats' eyes were blazing on Ron.

"Squeak!"

Eat!

Calling a moonlight rat out of the swarm, Ron put the mushroom in its paw into its front paws and ordered him to eat it, and then Ron looked at it again and found no signs of poisoning, before it expanded again.

Of course, Ron didn't expand the size of the entire rat colony, but selected a part of the moonshine rats that did not bring their own food, and the number was about one-tenth of the rat colony.

Such a number, even if all these moonshine rats are poisoned and die, it will not affect the stability of the rat population. And when the last fungus was left, Ron picked it up and held it between his paws, a little hesitant.

"Squeak!"

To eat or not to eat?

Ron didn't bring food, but hunger had already started. Of course, he could choose to let the other moonglow rats contribute their food, and as the leader, he had that right.

However, first, he didn't want to eat the food that other moonshine rats pulled out of their mouths, and second, the moonshine rat colony didn't have much food preserved like this, and Ron couldn't rely on this method to survive for a long time.

So, a ruthless heart, a gritted tooth, a closed eye, and a stomp foot.

Ron picked up the fungus in his claws, carefully biting through the skin and taking a small bite.

"Squeak!"

Delicious!

Just as I had just seen, a sweet juice immediately gushed out of the gnawed skin, penetrated into Ron's esophagus, and flowed into his stomach, and at the same time, a sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously, soothing Ron's senses.

"Ding! Eat delicious little mushrooms to gain 0.1 Life Essence. ”

This pale green hint was like an amnesty to dispel Ron's doubts and restlessness, and even the system decided that the fungus was actually edible, so what was there to worry about?

"Squeak!"

All of them!

Go with me!

Although his stomach was not yet filled, Ron's spirits were unusually high, and he let out a loud chirp, gathering all the moonlight rats and pouring out of the tunnel again.

Since the territory can't go back, and there is no passage to connect with the ground, the moonlight rat colony can only reproduce in this cave for a certain period of time.

Since the mushroom can be eaten and can even provide the essence of life, then Ron's purpose at the moment is no longer the mushroom, but the fungus blanket in the fungus field!

Just like the insect swarm on the opposite side, a large fungus blanket is planted in front of the tunnel exit, and countless caves are dug in the tunnel to serve as the residence of the moonlight rats, so that the most basic ecology is formed!

"Click!"

The red and black giant insects had not yet returned to the insect castle, and when they saw the rat swarm returning and returning, they immediately tapped their chelicerae and prepared for battle.

However, Ron returned to the same position with Shadow and Iron Fang, so that the two giant insects did not dare to act rashly, and then Longbeard and the other three remaining group leaders led the rat colony, blowing through the fungus field like the wind, and scraping away half of the fungus blanket that the insect colony had cultivated for a long time.

"Click!!"

Such a move naturally stimulates the giant insects, and the loss of half of the fungus field means that the output of food is also reduced by half, although it will not starve two giant insects, but if the insect colony wants to increase the number, it will definitely be limited by the number of fungus.

The black sword-legged giant insect immediately raised its chelicera and crawled towards the fungus field, its blade foot slashing across the ground, leaving small pits, but when he was about to approach the fungus field, a crossbow arrow shot fiercely in front of it, piercing into the ground, leaving only a tail that shook slightly.

"Squeak!"

Would you like to take a step closer?

Ron's cold smile burrowed into the giant worm's compound eyes, full of threats, and at the same time let the giant worm understand his attitude!
