Chapter Eighty-Nine: Back to the Ground!
There was a startled chirp, and Scarface's dark blue eyes fixed on Ron's rat face.
If Scarface had not been reminded by Ron so cruelly before awakening the talent bloodline, Scarface would probably collapse, but now that it has awakened the talent bloodline, its life cycle has been extended many times, and the stimulation given by Ron is no longer enough to make Scarface suffer.
However, Scarface could imagine Ron's anguish at the thought of his passing life, and his gaze grew to a point of pity.
............
It was indeed because the moonlight rat newborn was about to be born, which reminded Ron of the lifespan of the moonlight rat, and combined with the memory in his head, Ron could basically confirm that his time was running out.
Still, Ron wasn't as pessimistic as Scarface thought.
Although he does not have the talent of awakening and cannot extend his lifespan, Ron has the system and has successfully transferred to become a hunter, and he has his own path.
Compared to most of Fallon's professions, Ron has no so-called bottlenecks, whether it is the path of exemplification or the path of legend, it is not an obstacle. As long as there are enough life essences, Ron can soar all the way to the paragon and step directly into the legend.
Whether it is a model or a legend, it is a level, as long as you pass it, you can selectively evolve your life, not only will your lifespan be greatly increased, but you will also get a certain aspect of extreme strengthening.
It's just that if you want to get a large amount of life essence, it is impossible to do it in the sewers. That's why Ron needed to get out of the swarm and head to the surface.
............
"That's it!"
"From now on, the rats will ask you!"
Explaining the basic path of the follow-up to the Moonlight Rat in front of him, Ron couldn't help but purse his lips as he watched the last Longbeard reverently leave the leader's lair.
Although it is impossible to see the source of Scarface's and Shadow's bloodline, whether it is Scarface's Ice Talent or Shadow's Black Mist Talent, it shows that among their ancestors there is a non-Feren high-plane creature, and naturally their lifespan also increases with the awakening of their talents.
But the long beard is not, it is just an intelligent ordinary moonlight rat that has been petted by a mage, although it has read a lot of books and can even understand and write human language, but its essence has not changed.
It's running out of time!
"Alas!"
"I don't want to do so much, let's work for my life first. ”
Although he has only been with Longbeard for two or three months, this is already nearly a tenth of the length of the moonlight mouse's life, not to mention, there are many events during this period.
So, if there is a way to prolong his life, Ron doesn't mind using it for the long beard, but at this moment, Ron must solve his own problems first.
"Set yourself a small goal first, and step into the exemplary path in three months!"
............
After another day's rest, Ron feasted on mushrooms and drank some of the wine from the Moon Well, before carrying a small crossbow on his back and putting on his homemade leather armor to the end of the tunnel, in front of the passage blocked by countless earth.
This is Ron's masterpiece when the Moonlight Rats were evacuated before, he gave full play to his strength advantage, and while drilling into the tunnel to evacuate, he also dug up a large amount of dirt and buried the tunnel, so as to prevent the giant mud monster from tracking the Moonlight Rats along the tunnel, and even at this moment, the deep claw marks left by Ron at that time are still clearly visible on the dirt.
"Whew!"
Hopefully the giant mud monsters are gone!
Although he was already a hunter, Ron knew he was still as weak as a fire-fighting moth in the face of the giant mud monsters, but he had to take this path again, because it led to the old territory of the rats, with easy access directly to the surface, and Ron didn't have that much time to find other paths.
So Ron dug carefully, ready to bury the tunnel again at any moment.
"Whoa~"
The dirt was not very well buried, flowing like flowing water, and Ron gradually approached the entrance of the tunnel, the location of the Moonlight Mouse warehouse, and then Ron finally dug the tunnel mouth with a slight force.
"Click!"
The mouth of the tunnel was dug open, but instead of going out immediately, Ron put his small crossbow on his forelimbs and retreated to the bend of the tunnel, and then waited quietly.
Time passed little by little, and after waiting for a long time to make sure there was no danger, Ron cautiously poked his head out of the mouth of the tunnel.
"Squeak, it looks like the giant mud monster is gone. ”
Apparently the body of the giant mud monster had entered the warehouse, as the grain walls that once separated the warehouse into two layers were gone, leaving only the pit sewer walls that had been corroded by acid.
Then, carefully walking out of the warehouse, Ron's eyes immediately reflected countless white bones.
There are humans, there are lizards, and there are moonshine rats.
Obviously, the giant mud monsters rest in the Moonlight Rat's territory for a while, digesting and dissolving the food they devour, and the difficult parts are expelled before leaving, so the bones of the rat catchers who were devoured after being shot in the knee by Ron, as well as the moonlight rats and lizards, pile up together.
Moreover, even though it had been a while since the giant mud monster left, there was still a dead silence in the original territory of the Moonlight Rat, and there was not even a single large cockroach.
"Safety!"
In Ron's opinion, the original Moonlight Rat territory is naturally not as good as the new Moonlight Rat Town, so after carefully inspecting the territory with dark vision, Ron returned to the Moonlight Rat warehouse and covered up the tunnel entrance again.
Later, when he wants to follow the sewers where the Moonlight Rats once traveled to Ascatra to enjoy the full moon and the raging rat tide to the surface world, Ron suddenly returns a second time.
However, this time, instead of going to the Moonlight Rat Warehouse, he returned to the nest of the former leader.
Similarly, the body of the giant mud monster had entered Ron's original leader's lair, and the soft cloud fox fur had disappeared, and even the fungus planted in the corner of the leader's nest had been devoured, and only metal coins dulled by acid were sprinkled all over the nest.
If you have money, you can go all over the world, but you can't move an inch without money!
In that world, as long as there was a monetary system, coins that could be used as general equivalents would be of great use.
Ron's size was not large, the natural copper taran, and the silver vanda were not in Ron's consideration, he rummaged through them, found those pearls that never faded and stuffed them into his leather armor, stuffed four in a row, and then set off on his journey again.
And for the first step of the journey, Ron is ready to go.
He was going to visit the owner of the weapon shop again, and exchange the platinum coins called pearls for a more fitting outfit.
