0227 Army of Gold Eaters
readx;
The third class is composed of battle rat packs, which are mostly males and are responsible for protecting the territory, hunting powerful prey, and driving out invaders, equivalent to the army of the kingdom. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At the bottom of the tower are the mother rats, the young rats and the worker rats who are responsible for sentry, prey, and burrowing, which belong to the logistics of the kingdom and are also responsible for providing follow-up troops for the rat colony.
From the comparison of the white-haired rat king, Merlin also knew that there were hundreds of rat groups in the mountains near the Ruthless Sect, and they all had their own territory, hostile to each other, and the battle was continuous, and every day there were groups of gold-devouring rats killed and eliminated.
The reason why this is the case is that the root cause is to ensure the elite and strong of the rat group, you know, the gold devouring rat reproduction rate far exceeds that of other demon beasts, if it is allowed to develop, the rat group will have a crisis of insufficient food, and in serious cases, it will cause civil strife and lead to the extinction of the group.
Therefore, every once in a while, the Rat King will send out the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers and rats, either to attack other rat groups, or to besiege powerful demon beasts, so as to ensure the reproduction and strength of the race.
The law of survival of the fittest is everywhere, whether it is a human or a demon race, the weak can only be slaughtered, and only the strong can survive, this is the eternal principle of natural selection.
This choice is cruel, for the individual weak, their fate is tragic, can be seen in the long run, but it can ensure that the most powerful bloodline of the group is inherited, to ensure the reproduction of the group, is a process that has to be experienced.
Ordinary gold-eating rats have no intelligence, only the most primitive destructive instincts, and if they are not controlled by the Rat King, they are a disaster for any race.
In addition to the rat colony, Merlin also has some understanding of the rat king's advancement.
The Gold Devouring Rat King has a special bloodline inheritance, and when he lives to a certain age, he has a chance to advance twice, and a handful of white hair grows on his chest.
The advanced Rat King has opened his intelligence, with wisdom second only to humans, and can even control other Rat Kings to establish a huge rat empire, the white-haired Rat King controls more than a dozen ordinary Rat Kings, and if you calculate carefully, there are 300,000 gold-devouring rats that can fight.
Three hundred thousand, that's definitely a terrifying number.
After understanding the composition of the rat colony and the way to eliminate it, Merlin had a bold idea in his heart, that is, to use the power of the white-haired rat king to completely control this army of gold-devouring rats!
The white-haired rat king has opened his mind, and he has never forgotten Merlin's life-saving grace, and has long regarded him as his master, when Merlin said his thoughts, it jumped in place excitedly, and more than a dozen rat kings with it were also saved by Merlin, they have a low IQ and can't understand human language, but after the white-haired rat king's 'translation', they also lay at Merlin's feet, expressing their submission.
In this way, Merlin's first army to conquer the Shanhai Continent, the Gold Devouring Rat Legion, known as the Shadow of Death in later generations, was established in a small col deep in the Mountains of No Return.
Thinking about the little fat man Li Yaxian, after getting the approval of the rat kings, Mo Lin's first order was...... Find him a man's clothes and pass it on.
Early the next morning, Merlin, who finally stopped wearing women's clothes, gave a second order...... Get.
Once the 300,000 rat swarm dispersed, it would be overwhelming all over the mountains, and the momentum was extremely terrifying, just when Mo Lin thought that he could find the whereabouts of Tang Xiaobao and the others by relying on the rat swarm as long as he waited quietly, the problem appeared.
He overestimated the IQ of his new recruits.
Ordinary gold-eating rats have no intelligence, only beast instincts, and it is okay to let them dig holes and make holes, but it is a little difficult to find people with strong 'rats'.
It was only when corpses were dragged in front of Merlin that he realized what a childish mistake he had made.
These corpses were unrecognizable, some of them had rotted, and there were traces of being gnawed by wild beasts, judging from the clothing, they were all disciples of the Ruthless Sect, and Merlin's heart suddenly sank.
After some thought, he finally decided to return to the sect and see those fellow disciples who died in the war.
......
......
The sun was setting, and it was already dusk.
The mountains around the Ruthless Sect gradually disappeared into the clouds, waiting for the night to fall.
At this time, everything was withered and lifeless, and there were traces of ruin left after the Great War everywhere.
However, outside the four wide open mountain gates, there will be a stream of figures pouring into the sect from time to time, they are in groups of three or five, or talking, or silent, some are still carrying pickaxes and shovels, everyone is in a hurry, as soon as they enter the sect, they go towards the surrounding mountains, and soon disappear.
The golden sunlight poured down, covering the earth with a layer of gold.
Five or six young martial cultivators stepped on the afterglow of the setting sun to the mountain gate of the Ruthless Sect, looking up at the once glorious Ruthless Sect, all of them looked sarcastic, and one of them sneered.
"A few junior brothers, have you seen it, this is the Ruthless Sect, the royal family is worthy of being the overlord of my Yunlan Country, uniting the three major sects, and destroying the Ruthless Sect with a flick of a finger, I heard that among the people who did it, there is also my Yunlan Protector General Mu Hongwu's Flame Guard Legion, the secret of the Seven Stars Xuanjie Map in the Ruthless Sect is passed on by him, it is really a family thief who is difficult to prevent, for the treasure of the Martial Emperor, Mu Hongwu even betrayed the master. ”
The young man who spoke had a thin face, a hazy look, and a proud face.
A dwarf next to him echoed: "I have also heard about this matter, but I heard that although this Mu Hongwu betrayed the Ruthless Sect, he was put on the table by the prince, and he did not get any benefits. ”
The emaciated young man said: "If it weren't for their uneven distribution of the spoils, which caused internal strife, and none of the three major sects dared to gain a foothold in the Ruthless Sect, would we have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and reap the benefits? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, speaking of which, thanks to Mu Hongwu." ”
The short man shook his head and said with a look of regret: "It's a pity that most of the treasures have been poached by the people of the three major sects, and we can only eat some leftovers left by others." ”
The emaciated man glanced at the dwarf and said, "The Ruthless Sect has a deep heritage, if you want to dig up all the treasures, how can it be so easy? Besides, they have obtained the map of the Seven Star Xuan Realm, and they will also see the broken copper and iron here? Speaking of which, over the years, the Ruthless Sect has been getting worse and worse, and the disciples are not as good as the generation, if it weren't for the support of the Ruthless Woman, my Great Dragon Sect would have destroyed them a long time ago, and it would still be the turn of others?"
Several people nodded one after another, thinking deeply, and the short man said: "Isn't it, the last disciples of the Ruthless Sect are a group of wastes, how can they be compared with our Great Dragon Sect, with the talent of the senior brother, if it is placed in the Ruthless Sect, I am afraid that they will have already entered the inheritance sequence, as for the disciples of the inner and outer sects, it is not worth mentioning, who can be promoted to a second-level martial artist at the age of eighteen? Even if the Seven Great Tianjiao is arrogant, I am afraid that they do not have this talent." ”
