696 Exiting Seclusion
He had used this magical power to gather millions of rats in a short period of time. Moreover, many of the rats came from different species, but they were all suppressed by his bloodline. He could even control the movements of these rats.
Such an ability was similar to that of a Beastmaster but even more powerful. The only drawback was that it could only rule over blood kin, and had almost no effect on the other races.
This feeling that came from his bloodline was more magical than any beast-taming magical ability. They could connect their minds and blood with each other.
It was not only the Rat-human race. For example, The Werewolf Race could control the Wolf Pack and control the Wolf Pack to attack. The Dog-human race could control the dog race, the Fox-human race could control the fox race, and so on. This instinct that came from the bloodline was an innate ability and one of the advantages of foreign races.
Of course, it was knowledge to make full use of this advantage, and not everyone could do it. Even if many foreign races had this ability, only a few of them could use it to the fullest.
For example, Rat Devourer was obviously a powerhouse who knew how to use his own abilities.
“Since I’ve started the operation, the other races should also start. I can’t wait to see what the Kingdom of Dawn will become. The more chaotic, the better. This is the perfect experience.”
Rat Devourer’s eyes revealed a strange smile, and his mustache was constantly shaking, looking very excited.
Creak…
The door of the quiet room was opened, and a figure walked out.
Soon, they arrived outside the City of Dawn.
“It’s the Country Lord, the Country Lord is here!”
“That’s great. The Country Lord must have a way to deal with those damned rats.”
“Country Lord, you must seek justice for us. These damn rats, the hard work of the past few months have all been in vain.”
The people were excited to see Li Xiang, hoping that he could think of a good way to kill those damn rats.
“This is not a destruction that can be caused by one or two rats. If the number is not enough, it is impossible to cause such amazing damage to all the farming areas in so many cities. It seems to be a large group of rats.”
Li Xiang immediately made a judgment when he saw the dilapidated scene outside the city.
The Great Wall of Iron Blood and the Starlight Canopy blocked the top, but not the bottom. These rats must have dug a hole from underground.
“My Lord, the situation is very serious. The loss of this harvest is small, and with our reserves, there won’t be any problems for three to five years. However, rats are a huge threat. If they are not eliminated, farming cannot continue, and it will have a huge impact on the people’s hearts.”
When Huang Chengyan saw Li Xiang, his expression was very serious.
He had food in his hands, so he didn’t panic!
This was true, but it was privatization now, and it was impossible to give them for free. Even if they were given relief, many people earned money through farming. As time passed, people’s hearts would scatter when they couldn’t farm.
“This group of rats is very strange. I’m afraid it’s not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
After Zhou Qing inspected the surrounding caves, he walked over and said with a serious expression, “If a normal rat tide really forms a rat disaster, they won’t easily escape when they come here and destroy all kinds of crops and smell the blood. However, the strange thing was that after only a few hundred of them were killed, the rest began to escape in an orderly manner. This kind of behavior makes me feel that among the rats… There must be a commander!”
“Yes, they appeared without a sound and disappeared at an astonishing speed. It’s impossible to do this without any organization. It’s impossible for these rats to appear out of nowhere, especially in the rice fields. Normal rats don’t have this kind of binding and control.”
Alice also said decisively.
However, the more they understood, the more they knew that this possibility was not a good thing.
In a situation where both sides were equal in strength, humans were stronger than animals because they had intelligence. Now, the other party was also intelligent, which was not a good thing.
“It seems that this is a plot against the Kingdom of Dawn. The biggest possibility is that it is the work of the surrounding foreign races. In this chaotic world, every race is trying its best to become stronger, and they can’t let the Kingdom of Dawn become stronger without being affected. They are here to cause trouble and drag us down! Since the hard way won’t work, then they can only use the underhanded way.”
Li Xiang’s eyes flickered with a touch of coldness.
He had never let his guard down when it came to foreign races, which was why he had sent Han Sui to various large races to lobby them and form alliances.
For example, the Tauren and Werewolf Race had conflicts, to begin with. Coupled with the tension between them, they had fallen for the trap so easily and successfully incited a war between the two races.
However, this kind of opportunity was hard to come by.
Moreover, this method had certain hidden dangers. A single mistake would cause the chicken to fly and the eggs to be smashed, and it would be a double loss.
Many foreign races also saw the human race as a thorn in their side. As long as they were hostile to the human race, they would never allow the human race to develop rapidly. It was expected that they would secretly make things difficult for the Kingdom of Dawn and use some sinister means.
Now, it seemed that there was at least a 90% chance that this incident was caused by the surrounding foreign races. Otherwise, their actions would not be so unified.
“The most important thing now is to exterminate these rats, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. There’s still a hole in the ground. Why don’t we try attacking with water and force those rats out?”
Huang Chengyan frowned and said in a deep voice.
“It’s useless! These tunnels go deep underground and are even connected to underground rivers. Simple water attacks will not work. The holes made by hundreds of thousands to millions of rats extend in all directions, and they can excavate a large amount of space in the shortest time possible. The earth is the easiest place to absorb water, so it’s very difficult for water attacks to be effective.” Alice said indifferently.
This method obviously wouldn’t work.
It would depend on the situation when the cave was filled with water. A small-scale cave was still acceptable, but this kind of cave with hundreds of millions of rats was completely useless.
“To deal with animals, especially fierce beasts, one way is to attack with water, and the other is to attack with fire. Now that water is not enough, fire is obviously not very suitable either. Even if there is smoke, it is difficult to pose a great threat to the things underground.” Zhou Qing shook his head.
“It’s not a good idea to dig a tunnel that leads underground. Compared to the rats, digging a tunnel can’t be better than them. However, there’s one method that I can try.” Huang Chengyan said with a frown.
“What method?” Li Xiang asked.
“Throw a Rune Bomb into the hole! Even if the Rune Bomb cannot reach the gathering place of the rats, it can directly blow up the underground tunnel that has been excavated. After that, we can bury a batch of Rune Bombs underground. Even if the rats dig a tunnel, they will not dare to attack. However, this can only be a precaution, not a cure. However, there’s another method, and that’s poison. You can use poison to kill them directly.”
