Chapter 223: The Development of the Moonlight Rat!
The interaction between the Sages was not well known - at least not to Ron.
And after resting in Silvermoon City for a whole month, Ron's hunter level was already close to that of Legendary—the sheer number of life essences obtained by synergistically killing a legendary demon and a demigod earth elemental caused Ron's level to rise rapidly.
Naturally, as his level increased, so did Ron's combat power - during this time of rest, Ron occasionally wondered if he had killed both the Fungal Giant and the Demigod Earth Elemental, after all, he had only worked together in these two battles, and the gains were only a small part of them.
If all the kill rewards go to Ron - he's already legendary.

After resting, as the leader of the Tsukimi Tribe, Ron naturally needs to keep an eye on the work of his subordinates - and the first thing he started inspecting was Silvermoon City.
Now Silvermoon City is no longer limited to a small tunnel in the puppet, but has expanded to most of the cave, and even the location where Ron found the second hive has a small moonlight rat village stationed.
They built a small semi-circular house out of a dried fungus blanket, dozens of which were clustered together, and on the periphery was a white fungus blanket, overgrown with mushrooms as white as snow in the shimmering light. From time to time, you can see sturdy moonlight rats working in the fungus field, picking white mushrooms one by one and putting them into a basket also woven with fungus blankets carried by huge rats.
As for these giant rats, they are actually moonshine rats.
In fact, from the day Ron's statue was inaugurated, the Moonlight Rat evolved extremely quickly - and it was at this time that the Giant Rat appeared.
Just like the orc's beast knights, this giant rat named Gumi is also one of the two cubs born by the female moonlight rat in one litter - and since the statue of Ron was completed, the female moonlight rat of the Moonsee tribe has lost the ability to have more than a dozen cubs in a litter, no more than three cubs, and the most of them are one litter and two cubs.
And in a litter of twin cubs, about half of the proportion will have an intelligent normal moonlight mouse cub, and a giant mouse cub with primitive intelligence.
Despite his intellectual limitations, Gumi was able to grow to a large enough size - the size of a cat that could be ridden by a moonlight rat and serve as an important animal in daily life.
For the time being, this kind of animal power is only possessed by the Tsukimi tribe - although the Sand Rage tribe has also begun to show traces of ancient rice because of the existence of the Ron statue, but the ancient rice of the Sand Rage tribe has just been born, and it will take a certain amount of time to grow to the stage where it can be used.
In Ron's eyes, he immediately thought of werewolves - in the orc race, werewolves have always been quite high-status, in terms of actual physique, they are not stronger than other races of orcs, but werewolves are the orc race with the highest proportion of orcs born with knights.
The werewolf knights, who have the ability to communicate with each other and interact with each other, are the most terrifying and flexible killing machines - werewolves can even gather the beast knights into an army to form a torrent of war!
And in terms of fertility, the moonshine rat is far behind the werewolf - with plenty of food, a female moonshine rat can get pregnant two or three times a year, while a newborn moonshine rat only needs a year to get pregnant again.
So, with a little training, Ron could have a legion of beast cavalry composed of countless ancient rice rats and their siblings, but the moonlight rat's physique was too small - countless cat-sized cavalrymen jumped out of the grass and used sharp needles as spear tips, although they could cause damage to ordinary people and low-level professionals, but they were not able to deal with adventurers above the middle level.

After inspecting Silvermoon City's territory, Ron traveled to the Halfling Gathering on the outskirts of Ascatla, where the Halfling Gods Temple was located and where the Shadow was responsible.
Here, Ron sees a shadow that has taken away the lilac energy from her body, and she is playing with a group of adorable moonlight rat cubs - these are for halfling children, and with the prayer of the halfling gods and the consent of the gods, the halfling baby can communicate with the shadow and be eligible to domesticate a moonglow rat cub.
Of course, these moonglow rat cubs are extremely intelligent little ones - they have learned the language of the moon rat, and the language that halflings communicate with is the language of the moon rat.
"The Shadow looks happy!"
"Yes, Shadow is happy!"
"After all, she is also approaching the middle age of moonlight mice, but she has never even given birth to a child!"
Looking at the shadow playing with the little moonlight mouse, Ron said something in a daze, but Longtail's words left him speechless.
Ron could only twist his head to the other side of the temple, and then saw a group of muscular moonlight rats crouching in the shadow of the statues of the gods.
These are adult moonlight rats, and their contracts are adult halfling thieves, rangers, and mages - and they will accompany these halfling professionals across the continent until the end of their lives as companions and demon pets - while instilling the positive image of the moonlight rat into the minds of humans everywhere they go.
In fact, more and more adventuring parties are looking for thieves and rangers with Moonlight Rat companions to join the team - and thanks to Moonlight Rat's intelligence and agility, they have either turned a fortune or turned a corner for safety.
And the halflings are also instructed by the gods to spare no effort to promote the moonlight rat race, and declare it to be a wise race!

"Patriarch!"
"Ahead is Iron Fang's station in Askatra!"
Ron had already inspected the territory of three of the Tsukimi Tribe's Giants - and now, he was going to inspect the territory of Iron Fang.
And quite coincidentally, Iron Fang's territory is the small theater that Ron led the Moonlight Rat to rescue him - think back then, there was a long table under the stage of the small theater, and someone specially bought the rat's tail at the price of a copper coin, thus forcing Ron to lead the Moonlight Rat to migrate to the current location of Silvermoon City after resisting, and there was a follow-up development.
And now, the sturdy iron fangs of a giant rat are greeting him from the little theater with a loud chirp - he is laughing - and he is always willing to let his joy go into the face of Ron!
"Great Patriarch!"
"It's been a long time since I've seen your heroic figure!"
"How can there be an airspace in your loyal territory today!"
Coming to Ron, Iron Fang bowed gracefully, showing a posture similar to that of a human nobleman!
