The last few rat priests and guards have been compressed into a small corner, as the strength of the running rats continues to increase, there are very few rats that can be dispatched and commanded by the rat priests, and with the continuous advancement of a large number of rat tides, they have lost their last room to struggle.

Although one deadly magic after another continued to clean up the surrounding rats, with the support of the Running Rats and the strong orders of General Bernhardt, the boundless rat tide gradually converged into a terrifying wave, devouring the deviant plants in the garden, devouring the corpses of the dead guardians, assimilating and clearing the rats as the last line of defense, and then stepping on the dark green flames released by the nezumi priests and the dark electric light that scurried around. Advance towards the magical barrier that the priests have built together.

When the blind rat colony died and died, it created a large cloud of dense magical mist, and these white fogs fluttered and fluttered, almost completely obscuring the view of a large area.

However, it was beyond this drifting magical mist that Verin, who had broken free from the entanglement of the plants with the help of the rats, regained her footing, and in the Legislature, all spellcasters had to force the study and inscription of special magic to begin to build rapidly.

The magical "Brain Spikes" designed to target enemy casters and continuous protection rituals were built in the blink of an eye, and as the two magic patterns were perfected, a translucent spike with far more magical capacity than usual stabbed towards the deepest part of the fog with Wei Lin's will.

The moment she hit her target, she felt as if her head had hit something hard - an inevitable consequence of the "Brain Spike" magic, which uses the caster's magic and spirit to collide directly with the target!

However, the results of this initiative are remarkable.

Although several of the nezumi priests were still pouring out their magic, the individual responsible for maintaining the protective ritual was momentarily stunned at the moment of suffering the "brain spike", and it was at this time that the rat swarm finally found a breakthrough point, and the Rat that had arrived nearby did not miss this opportunity, although it did not understand magic, it was able to use its instinct to find the most vulnerable point of the enemy's defense.

It deftly skipped over a green ring of fire that spread across the ground, and before it could hit the ground, three long tails with sharp barbs and insidious magic twisted together, stabbing like a spiral-shaped sword into the most crunchy and thin part of the magic barrier in its field of vision.

The protection is completely broken.

Shug didn't use the gap to shoot the Hound's Fang bullets at the gathered targets, and while a single shot would be enough to finish them all in this case, there were only two Hound's Fang bullets left, and only two of the wolf tooth tattoos on his wrists were still colored.

In a short period of time, these bullets could not be refilled, so he had to leave room for other enemies and surprises that might arise next.

Now, his attention had been completely drawn to his summons. ….

After devouring the blessings of the gods in the bodies of several nezumi guards and priests, the magic power in the body of the Running Rat reached its peak again, and this time, the changes were no longer limited to the expansion and growth of the body, through the magical connection between the two sides, Xiuge succeeded in capturing a strange idea of his summon in those extremely chaotic messages.

It felt a little itchy on its head.

In fact, Xiuge did see that there seemed to be some strange light and shadow on Snicky's head, but the magic mist kept shaking, and Xiuge really couldn't see clearly.

Soon, as the second "brain pinprick" hit the target, the rats overwhelmed these last resistors, and the blessings of the gods in those bodies were naturally ruthlessly seized by Snicky.

Immediately after receiving the order from Shuge, the Rat returned to his side, it was obviously very uncomfortable, and its thoughts and thoughts were very disordered, and it was clear that the forces were having a lasting effect on it.

Hugg saw that Snick was constantly "scratching" his head with his paws and tail, and on either side of his head, unexpectedly

It was vaguely "grown" two translucent magical horns......

So Shug hurriedly stopped Snikki's movements, and he carefully observed the pattern of these two horns, and found that this was the kind of strange feature that belonged to Mother Earth Goddess.

However, these two horns are not entities, they seem to be some kind of phantom condensed by a high concentration of magic, and Snikki's claws and tail can even pass through them, and the fur connecting the two horns is still flat and smooth, and nothing unusual appears.

"You'd better not let it move."

Vilene stepped on the path in the garden, and she handed over the revolver rifle that Xiuge had thrown earlier, and suggested at the same time, "I don't know much about the subject of magical creatures, but it seems that it should be in a very critical period at the moment, and if it happens, it may cause some irreversible damage."

Listening to Wei Lin's words, Xiuge had to forcibly give an order to the rampaging rat, and used two ordinary tricks on it that could suppress its senses for a short time, which made it barely quiet, but even so, its constantly wagging tail showed that it was not really comfortable at the moment, and that the force was constantly stimulating it.

The entire underground garden had been completely destroyed, and as the Raging Rat had loosened its suppression of power, the rats that had been forcibly co-opted were now silent, either staying where they were, or burrowing into the inconspicuous darkness with their own kind, with only a fraction of the rats that had been completely assimilated by the power reunited.

Xiuge is very satisfied with the results of this "co-optation", but unfortunately, this is already the limit of the number of rats that Snitch can control, if all the rats in the entire underground world can be controlled and absorbed by it, then Xiug is equivalent to having a terrible army of rats.

He reloaded the revolver rifle, then strapped it, patted his bloodstained garment, and looked up at the huge cavern at the end of the underground garden. ….

Shuge didn't think that the battle was completely over, because he felt that the defenses in the underground garden were somewhat weak, the strength of those nezumi priests and guards was not as strong as he thought, and the magic in their bodies was even a little empty, as if something had sucked it away.

"We found no trace of any other family members."

Alexandra's voice came slowly, "We can't be sure if they've completely 'disappeared, or ...... Something else happened."

"Just go in and see."

Xiuge took a closer look at the huge cave in front of him that exuded a savage aura: "Anyway, no matter what, the core of the secret ritual is inside, and it has come here, and it can't be returned."

Hearing this, Wei Lin's expression immediately became subtle.

She always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence, as if she said it, she would suffer some kind of indescribable strange misfortune.

However, at this time, Xiuge had already taken the lead in walking towards the darkness, she sighed helplessly, and while pinching the magic crystal to replenish the magic power, she quickly followed.

……

On both sides of the entrance to the cave, there were two stone statues whose images were already very blurred, and Xiuge took a closer look at them, and concluded that these two stone statues should actually be two guards, but because of their age, the details of the stone statues were difficult to see, and even the faces, there was only a vague outline, and it was impossible to tell whether these two stone statues depicted human beings or rats who once believed in Mother Earth Goddess.

And just as Shuge had guessed, it wasn't a real cave at all, but a hall with the entrance gate disguised in the shape of a cave.

It could even be called a small temple.

Because here, he saw many structures that would not be possible in a regular building, such as huge stone columns, ceilings made of magic crystals mixed with ordinary stones, and huge murals that had been moved from somewhere and embedded directly into the walls......

In the words of his own past profession

Say, that's everything here, which obviously carries a "narrative" function.

Not every detail, every structure, or part has been wasted, they are too old to be recognized, and both of them can smell in them an ancient breath that does not belong to today's human civilization, and this smell is somewhat similar to the scene that Xiuge experienced in the dream of the rats.

"It's spectacular."

Vilyn looked greedily at everything around her, and she jumped to her feet with excitement.

She was sure that all the traces in this mysterious hall were important evidence that could shock and shock the entire history of Vann, and those traces would not deceive, and any professional magician would surely find that the age of these stone pillars and frescoes was far beyond the limits of human cognition of the past, and this discovery could lead to an inevitable result.

That is, before the humans of Van En could gain a foothold and learn to record history, there had been one or more highly developed and incomparably prosperous civilizations, and these civilizations must have been the source of those lost magical knowledge. ….

Hug was also observing everything around him.

Like all intelligent civilizations in his understanding, the original builders of these stone pillars left one image after another on their surface, they were by no means human, some were like beasts in the mountains, some were as small as house mice, and some had the characteristics of a variety of known magical creatures at the same time...... But without exception, they all clearly possess extraordinary intelligence, they are dressed in fine clothes, and they have all kinds of tools and weapons in their hands.

The further you go in, the fewer the stone pillars become.

And the animal carvings on the surface of the stone pillars have gradually become more concrete—they are no longer a mixture of multiple land animals, but gradually tend to be the same.

Shug began to find the animal images he was familiar with.

Cats, dogs, cows or deer.

Of course, lizards and snakes can also be seen.

"The murals depict all kinds of animals...... I have not seen any of them, but I can see that they resemble some of the animals of Vanne today."

Wei Lin lowered her voice, as if she was worried about waking up the occupants of these ancient paintings, "Dragons, earth dragons, and snakes, their images have not changed much, maybe there is a blood relationship between them?"

"These animals are all facing the same direction, and it looks like they have come to worship the gods, without interfering with each other, and they are very ......."

Wei Lin hesitated, but uttered the word, "Pious?"

Schug agreed, responding, "Judging from the name and title, Mother Earth is an important object of belief for all land animals and civilizations, and the appearance of this kind of mural is completely understandable, perhaps the painters of the time wanted to show the state of countless animals worshipping Mother Earth in ancient times."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the stone pillar beside him: "The carvings on the stone pillars are different from those in the murals, and these images are obviously individuals in some civilization, and they should all have their own languages, scripts, and tribes and even states."

Wei Lin glanced thoughtfully at the distribution of the stone pillars, and then asked, "The deeper you go, the fewer there are?"

"That's right."

Xiuge nodded slightly: "As if to show kinship and distance, these figures that can be carved on the stone pillars are already higher than the animals in the murals, and the closer they go in, the closer they are to the gods they believe in, the higher the status of the state and the tribe......

As he spoke, Shuge quickened his pace, and he came to the front of the stone pillars, and here stood a very tall pillar, and on it, carved many rats.

Priests with bone helmets, nezumi warriors armed with a variety of weapons, and other rats domesticated for a variety of purposes...... Just looking at this pillar, one can barely get a glimpse of the prosperity and complexity of a civilization composed mainly of rats.

Snikki silently followed Shug's side, and it lifted itself as it endured the "itching" in its head

Head, blankly observing the familiar and unfamiliar figures on the stone pillar, and when it saw the three-tailed giant rat that had been used as a war beast, it visibly became a little excited, and let out a series of chirping sounds.

"Look good, study hard...... That's your goal, you know?"

Shug smiled and admonished, then turned his head and looked into the deepest part of the hall through the magical vision of the emissary in the mirror.

He saw that in the middle of the innermost wall of this hall there was an open door, and it was so dark that even with the help of the messenger in the mirror, there was no way to see anything.

But he was sure that there was the destination.
