Chapter 64: The Farming Swarm!

"Click!"

Ron's warning, the black cartelfoot opened and closed its chelicerae, but did not take a step forward. It watched as the rats scraped up the blanket and returned to the tunnel, laying it flat on the ground where the battle had taken place not long ago.

The carapace was finely crumbled, and the body fluids of the insect swarm had already soaked the soil of this land, so as soon as the fungus blanket was laid out, the mycelium immediately began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then a small fungus began to slowly expand in the sight of the moonlight rat!

"Squeak!"

Long beard, lead the rats to dig holes!

Scarface, Long Tail, Fat Man, let the guards push the dirt out!

Shadow, Iron Fang, come with me to the vigil!

A shrill chirp resounded through the tunnel, and immediately the Moonlight Rat leaders led the rat colony to work, and the rat colony in the tunnel began to dig the burrow where they were about to live.

Once a mage's pet, the knowledge reserve of the long beard may not even be comparable to Ron's, under its command, hundreds of moonlight rats worked together, and it only took a few hours to excavate the rudiments of a three-dimensional village in the tunnel, the upper, middle and lower are divided into three layers, each layer is distributed in an oblique manner, and there is a passage in front of the cave that is large enough to accommodate four rats, and at the same time there is an oblique passage connecting the three passages.

As for the excavated soil, it was not discarded at will, but transported to the cave, and the general fungus blanket that had been attributed to the moonlight rat colony was enclosed to form a slightly rudimentary wall, which could become the first line of defense against the attack of the insect swarm, and could also shield the peep of the insect swarm.

Ron, along with the Shadows, stood between the Swarm Territory and the Rat Territory with Iron Fangs, like three statues, acting as a deterrent.

"Squeak!"

"Hey, squeak!"

"Hey squeak, hey squeak!"

I don't know when it started, and I don't know who started it, but the chirping of the moonlight rat turned out to be neat, like a labor trumpet, unhurried, but full of a sense of power.

Even in Ron's senses, it was no longer a swarm of rats working in the tunnel behind him, but a giant moonlight rat, far surpassing Ron's powerful moonlight rat!

"Squeak!"

Take a break and have dinner!

The fur was covered with dust from digging caves, and the long whiskers emerged from the tunnel, letting out a loud chirp, directing the other moonlight rats to emerge from the tunnel and line up in front of the fungus field.

Then, the other three group leaders and the moonlight rat guards picked the ripe mushrooms from the mushroom field and sent them to the claws of each moonlight rat after labor.

And looking at all this, Longbeard's heart has more and more reverence for Ron, if there is no promotion from Ron, it will only die miserably on the edge of the territory of the Moonlight Mouse, and it is absolutely impossible to have the status at this moment!

"Squeak!"

It's yours, yours, and yours!

Due to the fertile land, the fungus grows quickly, and in the few hours that the moonshine rat colony has grown a dense patch, which is enough to supply the needs of the entire rat colony.

As for the insect swarm on the other side, it seems that they have acquiesced in this confrontation situation, the red and black giant beetles have returned to the insect castle, leaving only the beetles that cultivate the fungus to be busy in the fungus field, and from time to time you can see beetles from the insect castle carrying out the food stolen from the rat colony and spreading it into the fungus field, acting as nourishment for the fungus blanket, so that the mycelium is trying to grow.

"Squeak!"

Let's go back and eat!

The beetle on the other side will not clash with the rat colony for the time being.

After silently observing for a long time, and confirming that the swarm had acquiesced to this situation, Ron returned to the inside of the wall with Shadow and Iron Fang, and took the mushroom from the moonlight rat guard who was in charge of distributing the food, and began to nibble on it.

Ironfang's appetite grew, as if due to the need to be able to transform, and Ron and Shadow only needed one or two mushrooms to fill the captain, while Iron Fang devoured a full ten to make a full burp.

Then, let Shadow and Iron Fang go to rest, and Ron continued to think about the future of the rats as he led his leader guard up the walls.

............

Walking through the deep sewers, there was no talk, no light, only the breathing and footsteps of his companions, and the afterglow of the light spell on the shield of Gondor at the forefront.

Here, vigilance must be maintained at all times, even when it is necessary to rest, half of the personnel must be on alert.

"Glock, how long have we been in the sewers?"

"It's been about three days. ”

"Then tomorrow will be the fifteenth, another full moon hour!"

"And how far is it from the lich's lair?"

"If I'm right, it's about an hour away. ”

"Very nice, thank you very much. ”

Taking out a small bell and a thin silver thread from the pouch he was carrying, Green tapped the staff heavily, and a one-ring spell [Magic Alarm] was cast, fixing the magic alarm to wake him up after a creature entered the warning range, and then Ron took out a small crystal bead and gently placed it on the ground while chanting the incantation.

So, at the same time as the spell ended, a circular opaque force field rose from the ground centered on a small crystal bead, enveloping Grimm and making his form disappear.

"Come in, the [Shelter] will last for the night. ”

"Rest well, everyone, there will be a bad battle tomorrow. ”

The Three-Ring Plastic Energy Spell [Refuge Cabin], a spell that is essential for high-level mages during their travels, is now used in conjunction with [Magic Alert] to immediately create another slightly less dangerous space in the danger zone.

Without hesitation, the Iron Fist team immediately stepped into the force field ball, while the Divine Gift team hesitated a little before following in.

In fact, the priest is able to memorize a safer magic, the four-ring magic called the Astral Abode, which can create a half-plane with a diameter of fifty feet in the astral plane, and only people or objects allowed by the priest to enter and exit through the portal created by the priest.

However, considering the staffing and the high consumption of the Four Rings Divine Arts, the Divine Gift Team finally chose to enter the [Refuge Hut] created by Green with the Iron Fist Team.

By the time the Divine Squad entered the Shelter, Iron Fist had already set up two tents, one for Fiona and Gondork, and one for Ike Froude and Green, while Grock took out a blanket and liquor from his backpack and lay down on the ground.

And in the middle of the [Refuge Cabin], Green even took out a dinner cloth, put the dry and cold food on it, and pointed at it, after a [magic trick], the cold dry food became steaming and exuded a charming taste.

"Girls, let's do it here!"

"It's still a long night, and we can have a good conversation. ”
