Chapter 13: The Ore Crisis
The air in the Warcraft Mountains is fresh and sunny, but it is full of intrigue and killing, while the underground where the gold eater lives is dark and filthy, and there is no sunlight, but it is full of happiness, like a paradise.
The Gold Eaters are all working hard to refine ore and improve their strength in this rare peace.
More than a month has passed since Wang Lin led all the rat clans to transfer over, and the fourth-order red gold mine has made the strength of the rat clan increase very quickly, and now the entire rat clan can no longer see anyone whose strength is lower than the second order except for the newborn members.
Now the highest strength of the Gold Devouring Rat Clan is still Wang Lin, the king, after so many days of crazy cultivation and the consumption of a large amount of red gold ore, his strength has reached the fourth order, surpassing the original Violent Bear.
Several of them have also reached the peak of the third order, and the rat big has become the second gold-devouring rat whose strength has broken through to the fourth order in addition to Wang Lin.
After the breakthrough, Rat Da also comprehended a new skill - Rat Blade, which is an evolved version of Rat Blade, and its power has been substantially improved.
The 1,800 rat soldiers who were selected at the beginning are now all at the top of the third order, and there are several with better qualifications whose strength has also reached the peak of the third order.
At least half of the members of the Rat Clan who have broken through the third-order strength have also successfully stimulated their bloodlines, and they are all looking down at the golden splendor at a glance.
The overall strength of the rat clan has changed dramatically compared to the beginning, but the top high-level combat power is not yet there, and this is not something that can be formed in a short time.
Since you can't train a master in a short period of time, then use quantity to make up for it, in the previous life, there was not a saying called quantitative change causing qualitative change.
I can't beat you two, and if I can't beat two, ten, hundred, thousand...... The heap also heaped you to.
Wang Lin hadn't completely changed his previous mode of thinking, and he didn't know the earth-destroying power that the masters of the other world could cause, and he almost made a big mistake in the later war.
Wang Lin re-expanded and reorganized the Golden Eater Rat Legion, all based on the rat soldiers who had reached the third level of strength, every ten Gold Devouring Rats were a team, every ten squads were a squadron, and ten squadrons formed a brigade, ten brigades were divided into a corps, and ten corps were built into a group army, a total of nine group armies.
Rat and Rat 2 and their nine Wang Lin's henchmen were appointed as the commanders of the group army, and the other captains, squadron leaders, and squad leaders were all competing for posts, and whoever had the biggest fist would be on the job.
It is worth mentioning that most of the 1,800 elite rat soldiers selected first became captains, and only a few became squadron leaders.
These rat soldiers who became squadron leaders were not convinced, and they all held their breath, striving to be a captain next time.
In order to improve the enthusiasm of the rat soldiers, let the rat soldiers below have motivation, and let the captain above have a sense of urgency, Wang Lin set the rules of assessing once a month and living in the capable.
This makes those ambitious and powerful gold-devouring rats even more energetic in cultivating, so as to strive for the next time to be able to overthrow their bosses, which is a face-saving thing.
There was a small episode in this process, because the violent bear had been dead for so long, his aura in the territory had almost disappeared, and a fourth-order mid-level flame leopard who had come to explore the path was easily cleaned up by Wang Lin, which made the surrounding demonic beasts suspicious and did not dare to cross the boundary easily.
The rat clan became the de facto controller of the territory, and it also kept the territory calm for the time being.
In fact, Wang Lin didn't care who would occupy the territory, his tactical thinking was to go wherever he had resources, so he was afraid that the secret of the rat clan would be exposed when he killed the flame leopard.
With the current strength of the rat clan not enough to become the common enemy of the whole continent, those giants can wipe out the gold devouring rat with just one of their subordinates.
In the past month or so, the strength of the Gold Devouring Rat Clan has increased by leaps and bounds, and at the same time, a large amount of red gold ore has also been consumed, and according to this progress, it will not be long before the red gold mines in this territory will be eaten up.
Now the entire rat clan knows the importance of ores, and the strength of the rat clan cannot be improved without ore, and the ambition of something without strength is a joke.
Moreover, Wang Lin found that the fourth-order red gold ore could help his strength to reach the peak of the fourth order at most, and now no matter how much ore he eats, it will have no effect, it can only fill his stomach.
He didn't know if the other gold eaters were like this, or if it was because he was a special traverser, which would have to be verified later.
Therefore, Wang Lin has been relatively irritable recently, and his strength has stagnated, how can he face an extremely powerful enemy in the future.
Now what Wang Lin has to think about every day is how to get more and more high-grade ores, so finding ores is the top priority of the rat clan.
In the past few days, Wang Lin has been asking the rat soldiers to inquire about the surrounding situation, and at the same time sent Rat Jiu to continue to explore along the route from last time to see whose territory is on the other side of the red gold mine, so as to consider countermeasures.
However, the members of the rat clan who went out to explore were all disguised, Wang Lin used all kinds of plants in the Demon Beast Mountain Range to develop a pure natural hair dye, and from a distance, they looked like a second-order little porcupine, and absolutely no one would have thought that this was the previous rat clan.
Although the strength of the rat clan is not what it used to be, and the rat soldiers sent out are all third-order strength, the rat soldiers who probe the situation still can't avoid casualties.
The more you go to the inner perimeter of the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the higher the strength of the demonic beasts, the fourth-order can only stay in the outermost part of the inner perimeter, and the places close to the periphery, the fifth-order ones are everywhere, and the territory of the sixth order cannot be touched at all with the current strength of the rat soldiers.
If it weren't for the fact that the rat clan's ability to make holes increased with the increase in strength, they would not be qualified to operate in the inner perimeter at all, let alone explore the situation, even if they had the skill of making holes, they would only be in contact with the territory of the fifth-order beginner demonic beasts.
Two days later, Rat Jiu finally came back, and he immediately found Wang Lin to report the information he had found, Rat Jiu now also has the strength of the fourth order, and he is the third person to break through the fourth order after Wang Lin and Rat Da.
"Report to the king, the little one has already found out the situation of the territory on the other side of the ore. When Rat Jiu saw Wang Lin, he immediately saluted and reported.
"What's the situation, whose territory is it?" Wang Lin hurriedly asked, he hadn't heard any good news in the past few days.
"The small one has been exploring in the direction of the red gold vein for the past few days, all the way out of our territory, and after a small desperate exploration, it was found that it was the territory of the iron gibbon. "Rat Jiu reported the situation and did not forget to give credit to himself.
"Iron gibbon, how is its strength?" asked Wang Lin.
"His strength is the pinnacle of the fourth-order high-level, just like you, the Great King. His strength is very strong, and his defense is also very strong, he is definitely the king of the fourth-order demonic beasts, and the small one was almost killed by him a few times, but fortunately, the hole I hit was relatively deep. Rat Jiu said with palpitations.
"You've worked hard, go down and have a good rest, and let this king think about it. Wang Lin comforted Rat Jiu.
"It's not hard for the little ones, it's a small honor to serve the king, and you should also pay attention to rest, the king!"
"This king is fine, you can go. Wang Lin said.
"Yes, my lord. Rat Nine respectfully bowed and stepped back.
"Ore, gibbon......" Wang Lin muttered alone.
