Chapter 1040 - The Rat People’s Wrath
Chapter 1040: The Rat People’s Wrath
In the beginning, Leaf and all the rat soldiers in the Blood Skull Arena were unwilling to believe this piece of news.
Yet, for some reason, this piece of news spread throughout Black-corner City overnight like a wildfire burning a mountain…
Just like how the news of the Big-horned Rat God’s imminent arrival spread throughout the city.
Many people spoke about it vividly.
“The Gold Clan was too proud in the past prosperous era. They slept on their past achievements and didn’t raise many brave warriors like their ancestors.”.
“The spies of the golden clan sneaked into black-corner city and were scared out of their wits when they saw the bravery of the Blood Hoof Warriors. When the news reached Red Thorn Village, the Fat Lion Men and Tigermen didn’t dare to compete with the warriors of the Blood Hoof clan on the real battlefield. They could only send more spies and try to use despicable and shameless tricks to disrupt the assembly and expedition of the Blood Hoof Army.”.
‘after the joint operation of the Bloody Hoof clan and the iron sheet clan, they captured a few spies from the Gold clan and made them admit their crimes. The evidence of the entire conspiracy is now irrefutable, and the truth is revealed!’!
Although it was impossible for the rats to see the evidence.
However, there were indeed many rats who saw the bullhead warriors of the bloody hoof clan and the wild boar warriors of the iron sheet clan sitting on the most prosperous cross street in the center of black-corner City. It used to be the liveliest, in the Iron Horn Tavern that had been smashed into ruins, they were drinking wine among the ruins.
Looking at the way they put their arms around each other’s shoulders, called each other brothers, and danced together, it did not seem like they were competitors who had just fought to the death.
If they had not really caught the spy, how could they be so happy and drink to their heart’s content?
This incident gave the rat youth a severe blow.
One had to know that it was not easy for leaf to find “Faith”.
That’s right, he felt that the big horn rat god was his faith.
Leaf felt that people should have some kind of faith, and he could not possibly believe in the ancestor spirit of the Tauren who destroyed his home, right?
He did not expect that his faith, which he longed to devote his entire life to fighting for, was only a cruel joke and a clumsy conspiracy.
This dealt a heavy blow to the young man who did not know anything about the world. He did not know what else he could believe.
With a head full of grievance and confusion, Leaf went to find Meng Chao.
She wanted to get an answer from this mysterious black-haired rat citizen — was there a big-horned rat god in the world, and would the big-horned rat god come to save them?
“Well, I’ve told you before that there’s no need to be too fanatical about the belief in the Rat God. After all, any belief that is established in a minute can be destroyed by someone in a second.”
Meng Chao spread his hands.
Seeing leaf pouting and looking like she was about to cry, he hurriedly changed his way of speaking, “Let’s put it this way. If the Rat God really exists and is really willing to save all the ratfolk, then what? Are you going to do nothing but lie here obediently and wait for it to save you?”
“This… of course not.”
Leaf scratched her head and said, “Although I don’t know what I can do, no matter what, I Can’t lie here and do nothing and wait for the Rat God to save me!”
“Very good. Now You’re like a real warrior. It’s not a waste of all the resources and time that I’ve spent on you. Let’s say –”
Meng Chao guided him patiently, “Don’t look so sad. Remember, I’m just assuming. I’m assuming that the Bighorn Rat God really doesn’t exist. It’s just some forces with ulterior motives. They rely on the legends that have been passed down among the rat people for thousands of years and meticulously weave jokes and conspiracies. Then, what? Then, you’ll completely despair and lie flat on your back, completely at the mercy of fate. You Won’t want to avenge your mother, brother, and village, nor will you look for Anjia, your childhood friend?”
“Of course not!”
At the mention of his mother, brother, Banshan village, and Anjia…
Ye Zi’s eyes lit up with anger.
Then, his anger turned into a ray of light.
“Regardless of whether the rat god exists or not, whether it will descend, and whether it wants to save us, I will avenge my mother, brother, and everyone in the village. Then, I will save Anjia!”
The rat teenager clenched his fists. His canine teeth were deeply embedded in his lips, causing scalding blood to spurt out.
“Then it’s settled.”
Meng Chao slapped his thigh. “Since you have your own path to take no matter what, what does it matter whether the big-horned rat God exists or not? Is He a true savior or a cruel joke?”
Leaf pondered for a long time with his mouth agape.
The Reaper’s theory seemed to be impeccable.
But he always had a feeling that his worldview had been greatly impacted and shattered.
That was the Rat God, the sacred ancestral spirit that belonged to all the rat people!
Could it be that even the existence of the supreme and incomparably sacred ancestral spirit was not an important matter?
“Wait, I was almost bypassed by you. The Reaper is really too bad!”
Under Meng Chao’s modulation, the rat youth grew very quickly. He was not bewitched by Meng Chao’s word games. Instead, he asked straightforwardly.., “Reaper, you haven’t answered my question yet. Do you think that the Rat God really exists?”
“Well…”
Under the aggressive gaze of the rat teenager, Meng Chao became serious.
He thought for a long time and shook his head slowly. Then, he nodded and said, “I don’t know whether or not the entity known as the Rat God really exists. If it really does exist, what will it be.
“However, the Fury that has been gathering and reacting violently for thousands of years, after thousands of years of being bullied and oppressed, is a real, powerful thing.
“If you ask me, the Fury is the real power that you can rely on. As long as it is used properly, it might be able to change the fate of all the rat people, or even… the entire world!”
Leaf did not get the answer that she wanted from Meng Chao.
However, Meng Chao’s expression was indifferent, as if this was just a trivial matter that had infected the young ratfolk. It did not cause him to completely collapse like some of the ratfolk who treated the Rat God as their spiritual pillar, he became a walking corpse that was at the mercy of the Clan Warriors.
And the news that ice storm was injured and that the entire squad’s servant soldiers were about to be divided up by the other clan warriors was, in a sense, even more serious than the “Rat God is just a conspiracy”.
After all, the latter would not take their lives for a while.
The former could turn them into corpses filled with arrows tomorrow, and they would be stuffed into bottomless trenches.
Leaf hurried to find Meng Chao.
He wanted to know what his next step would be.
Was there a way to let all the rat militia of the ice storm battle team, at least the thirty rat militia that he had handpicked in the first place, live.
Thankfully, the ice storm was just recovering from his injuries.
At least that’s what Casanova said.
So, he couldn’t make a big fuss about sealing off and searching the ice storm’s residence.
Although leaf found a few of Casavar’s henchmen nearby.
But he did make it all the way to the House of the Reaper, next to the House of the Aces.
But after smashing the door for a long time, there was no response.
Logically speaking, should not ah, because the black horn city is carrying out the “Game of the Brave,”the reason, almost no rat people in the chaos, run out to die.
And the Reaper rarely went to the training camp or the bathhouse.
According to him, he stayed in the hut every day to meditate, heal, and rarely left.
Could it be that the reaper had met with misfortune like the ice storm?
Leaf went into the bull’s horn.
He took a few steps back and was about to break open the door when a familiar voice came from behind, “Leaf, what are you doing?”
“Reaper?”The rat youth was overjoyed.
When he turned around, he saw Meng Chao wearing a hood that was too wide.
Underneath the Hood was a bulge.
It was as if he had gained a few times in a few days, or as if he was hiding something under the hood.
Upon closer inspection, he looked very haggard. His messy hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead, as if he had just completed a series of soul-stirring and complicated missions.
“Reaper, where did you go?”Leaf asked in surprise.
“Uh, to the toilet,”Meng Chao said.
“The toilet?”
Leaf asked suspiciously, “You went to the toilet dressed like that?”
“That’s right, because I’m afraid of being naked,”Meng Chao explained.
“Naked?”
Leaf said, “But why do I feel like you’re so tired, sweating all over, and panting?”
“Well, I’ve been eating too much meat recently, so I’m a little on fire, so I used a little more force.”Meng Chao said.
“Is that so?”
Ye Zi scratched her head and said, “Under your cloak, are you carrying something very heavy? Do You Need Me to help you move it in?”
“No need, I thank you!”
Meng Chao said, “To make a long story short, what exactly happened? Why did you come to my place instead of cultivating properly?”
“Oh, it’s like this. Have you heard? Lord ice storm seemed to have lost control of his totem power during Lord Casa Fa’s banquet and was seriously injured. Now, Lord Casa FA has sent him to recuperate, so he can’t command us anymore.”
Leaf said anxiously, “So, the entire ice storm squad is going to be split up and distributed to the other Gladiators!”
“I just heard.”
Meng Chao said calmly, “Moreover, I also heard that the thirty servants who were the first to follow Lord Ice Storm will be transferred to Lord Wildhammer’s command.”
“It’s actually Wildhammer?”
Leaf jumped up.
She did not think about how the Reaper had only gone to the toilet. How did he know such confidential information.
The rat teenager said with a sad face, “Then we are doomed!”
“Why?”
Meng Chao said indifferently, “Lord Man Hammer is also one of the four trump cards of the Bloody Skull Arena. After forming the Bloody Skull Battle Group, he has gained the trust of Lord Casa Fa. is he any different from Lord Ice Storm?”
