"Wait!"

Merlin's cry finally burst out of his throat, and he could already see what the black shadow that suddenly rushed out was, it was a huge rat with a fat body, seventy or eighty centimeters tall, covered with shiny black hair, and only a white hair on its chest.

The sudden appearance of the giant rat is undoubtedly a lifesaver for the drowning person for Ouyang Xueqing, who was hungry and did not hesitate to commit suicide with a knife in order not to starve to death.

Her hunting instinct and thirst for food brought out her last potential, causing her to react instinctively before she had time to think, until she heard Merlin's shout, the tip of her knife less than a millimeter from the giant rat's heart.

The white-haired rat trembled with fright, its eyes were full of horror, its throat was stuck, it made a squeaky sound, its flesh and bones were sore, its soul trembled, and it didn't dare to move, if it wasn't for Ouyang Xueqing's top against the wall, it would have fallen down a long time ago.

At this moment, seven or eight smaller black shadows jumped out of the newly opened hole, and they were a group of gold-devouring rat kings.

"It's you!"

I don't know where the strength came from, Mo Lin stood up from the ground, his eyes were full of irrepressible surprise, and under Ouyang Xueqing's shocked gaze, he rushed over, snatched the white-haired mouse, and held it in his arms, with tears in his eyes.

"Lao Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you!"

......

......

In a hidden col deep in the Mountains of No Return.

Suddenly, from the side of a newly dug hill-like mound of dirt came a huge gold-eating rat king.

Thousands of pairs of little eyes in the surrounding grass all quickly stirred up when they saw this scene, and the sound of clattering and shaking branches and grass blades was like an invisible wind.

A moment later, surrounded by several gold-devouring rat kings, Mo Lin and Ouyang Xueqing appeared on the mound.

Their hair was disheveled, their expressions haggard, but the light in their eyes was bright and blind, as if they wanted to see through the whole world.

The luck of the rest of his life after the catastrophe made their eyes red again, and after inhaling a few breaths of fresh air, Merlin bent down and hugged the white-haired rat king in his arms.

"Lao Bai, thank you, thank you very much, you saved my life, in the future, if any of the demon beasts in this mountain dares to bully you, just tell me that I will destroy him." ”

Because he was so excited, Merlin was already a little speechless, and for the first time, he thought that the mouse was so cute.

Ouyang Xueqing had long heard Mo Lin tell the story of him and the white-haired rat king, and when she saw the huge and ugly mouse, she felt for the first time that these guys were not ugly at all, you know, snakes and rats are natural enemies, although she has a strong bloodline, she has long since become a human form, and she will not eat this disgusting food, but her instinctive aversion to rats is hidden deep in her bones.

The rat is so easy to do, after the white-haired rat king learned that Merlin was about to starve to death, he squeaked a few times, and after a while, a group of rats dragged a few demon beasts.

There was no time to make a fire to barbecue meat, so Mo Lin and the two first caught a colorful deer, cut their necks, drank a bunch of deer blood, and recovered some physical strength before letting the rats help find firewood to make a fire.

In the col, a strange scene appeared.

Thousands of gold-devouring rats dragged hay branches one by one, and piled up a firewood stack more than two meters high in front of Merlin's body, with a strong sense of territory, and the dozen or so gold-devouring rat kings who usually met were either dead or injured abandoned their previous suspicions, sat together, and quietly watched the two humans skinning the monsters, lighting fires, and throwing a few branches into the fire from time to time, with excitement and fear in their eyes.

Two hours later, a black-haired wild boar, a colorful deer, and a wind wolf turned into a pile of white bones under the mouths of two starving ghosts and a dozen rat kings.

For the first time in his life, Merlin felt so fed.

Feeling his strength rapidly recovering, his gaze fell on the surrounding group of gold-devouring rats.

Gold Devouring Rat, a first-class demon beast, an ordinary rat has two adult fist-sized sizes, and its single combat effectiveness is fragile, but it is born with hard and sharp teeth, and its power is comparable to that of a spiritual weapon, and even iron and stone can be bitten and broken, which can be described as indestructible.

The Gold Devouring Rats are extremely timid, and although they have sharp claws, they rarely attack demon beasts that are stronger than themselves, but once they form a swarm of rats, their lethality will increase exponentially, and even those powerful Demon Beasts must avoid them.

From the bottom of his heart, Merlin was full of hatred for this gold-eating rat.

The destruction of the Great Array of the Ruthless Sect is their masterpiece, although the mastermind behind it is the Ten Thousand Beasts Villa, they are forced to be helpless, but the crime of being an accomplice cannot be shaken off.

Although he directly told Merlin that even if the great array of the Ruthless Sect was not destroyed, it would be difficult to change the fate of the exterminated sect under the siege of the three major sects and tens of thousands of elite soldiers in the palace, but at least he could kill more people and make the murderer pay more costs.

However, when Merlin was at his most desperate, the gold-eating rat swarm saved him again.

Counting the demon beasts in the mountains near the Ruthless Sect, only their minions could open a passage of thousands of meters in such a short period of time, dig a big hole in the stone wall of the Tianwu Stone, and pull the two who were about to fall into the dark hell back to the light.

"It is always right to plant what you reap and reap the consequences of what you sow, and to have good thoughts in your heart. ”

Merlin's gaze gradually softened, he is the kind of person who can't let go, he does his best to wait for the destiny of heaven, he believes that some disasters are unavoidable, since he is still alive, he must do something that a living person should do, it is useless to blindly cry with sadness.

A day later, Mo Lin, who was recuperating and full of energy, took Ouyang Xueqing and walked in the direction of the Ruthless Sect.

In the dense grass and forest behind him, countless gold-eating rats stalked secretly like a wave.

After saving Merlin, the white-haired rat king had no intention of leaving, it didn't know how many years it had lived, and its wisdom was not much worse than that of normal humans.

For the white-haired rat king, Merlin couldn't look down on it from his heart, its combat power was too weak, and it also had the strength of a human eighth-ninth level martial artist, but thinking of the thousands of rats behind it, his heart trembled, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

After more than two hours of communication, Merlin also had a detailed understanding of the internal level and strength distinction of the Gold Devouring Rat Group.

The hierarchical status within the rat colony is arranged in a pyramidal structure.

It is roughly divided into four classes.

If the rat colony is compared to a kingdom, the king is the king of the gold eater.

Each Rat King can rule over 10,000 to 20,000 Gold Eater Rats, and these Gold Eater Rats form a squad every thousand, led by a secondary Rat King, these secondary Rat Kings are half the size of the Rat King, strong in size, strong in combat, equivalent to the generals of the kingdom, they are under the spire, constituting the second rank.
