Lord of Eternal Darkness

Everyone followed the sound and hid in dense vegetation to peer quietly.

In front are some humanoid creatures with thick fur and large and pointed ears. Two species can be distinguished from their appearance, one is a cat and the other is a mouse.

"Should we help out?" Jinchengan clenched his fists, eager to give it a try.

"Wait a while and check the situation." Li Xiaoming felt that the scene was a bit chaotic.

Comparing the combat forces of both sides, the Rat Men seemed to be slightly weaker and gradually fell into a disadvantage. After all, they did not have an advantage in numbers and size. They could only rely on the weapons in their hands to barely resist the enemy's attack.

The rat men were gradually surrounded, and these five were the last survivors.

The leading rat man was covered in blood, wearing a black turban, with strong arms, holding two big knives, and was breathing heavily.

"Hoo, ho, damn wildcat!"

The armored cat-eared man slowly walked forward, licked his sharp claws, and smiled evilly.

"I told you to give up resistance. The Mela tribe should be destroyed as soon as possible. No one can violate God's will. He is the supreme being. You are only worthy of being reduced to rations and trash."

Another rat-shaped sequencer shouted angrily: "You dare to openly violate your oath, aren't you afraid of being punished?"

His eyes widened like bells, and he said angrily: "Punishment? Isn't the punishment for us enough? Just because we are Sequence people, expel us, curse us, and let us fend for ourselves in this small world? As long as we destroy the Tianyuan Pillar and break out of the earth, we will be free!"

The rat man wearing a black turban shouted desperately: "No, Hassan, you are completely crazy. You don't know the consequences of this!"

Hassan laughed and said: "Haha, are you crazy? It's not me who is crazy, but this chaotic and disorderly world! Why can some people enjoy the real sun, while others can only live as despicably as ants?" !

"Surrender, as long as you tell me the location of the entrance, I will spare your life. When the time comes, our six major tribes will join forces and rush out of the surface together. Even if we don't fight against those pure humans, we can survive by escaping to any place!" This is the best possible outcome.”

Jinchengan, who was staying in the grass at this time, felt a little sleepy. "What are they talking about for a long time?"

Jie Xiaohei shook his head, "It seems that only Li Xiaoming here understands it. Let him translate it later."

Chu Moyue observed silently and said, "The situation is not right, prepare to take action!"

…

The rat-man captain raised the knife in his hand and decided to fight to the death, "No! We can't leave. Once the seal is loosened, this thing will follow us to the surface, and we won't be the only ones destroyed by then."

"It's a pity. For the sake of my old friend, I talked to you so much, but I didn't expect you are still stubborn. Okay, then you just go to hell!"

As soon as Hassan finished speaking, he picked up a heavy knife and rushed over. Those weak rat men could only wait for the arrival of death.

Hassan stopped suddenly. He felt a peaceful aura filling his whole body, making the hatred in his heart gradually disappear. He shook his head and regained his emotions.

With hateful eyes, he looked towards the grass to the east.

I saw four humans walking out slowly. Jin Chengan dragged a rusty sword, Chu Moyue gracefully played with the two swords in his hands, and several water balloons slowly floated around Jie Xiaohei. The shadow of a blue ship loomed behind him.

Li Xiaoming stood in front with a friendly smile on his face. Wherever his eyes looked, people's negative emotions were quickly suppressed.

After a cursory inspection, these guys are very weak.

Except for the two leaders of both sides, who may have reached the seventh level, the rest of the people are not much stronger than ordinary people, and they cannot last three rounds together.

Under the influence of the Eye of Exploration, the color of everyone's spiritual sea is undoubtedly exposed, expressing their current emotions, gray, red, white... very complicated.

But it can probably be guessed that it is because of the anger of the cat-man who was prevented from killing, the gratitude and joy of the rat-man when he was rescued, the mutual hatred between the two wary sides, and the doubts that both sides had when they saw the arrival of pure-blood humans.

Li Xiaoming first said it in Titan language: "Oh, for the sake of Cang Shen, please stop fighting."

The two sides were in a stalemate, with slightly confused expressions on their faces, obviously not understanding.

"Okay, it seems like he is not a local and only speaks Sarodi. It would be a bit troublesome to communicate. I am the only one who can speak."

He coughed and asked everyone present to stay quiet. He said in their dialect: "Okay, everyone, keep quiet. The pointed-eared cat over there, if you don't want to die, just retreat quickly. I'm serious."

The cat guards on both sides stepped forward and blocked their young master.

"Young Master, do you want to take action?"

"Including the four of them, there are only nine people on the other side. We have 12 people."

Hassan didn't speak, and his eyes were a little complicated. He didn't expect that in this place, he would meet the pure-blooded human beings described by the older generation, who looked similar to the people in the tribe.

But it doesn’t have any of the physical features of a beast, including fangs, sharp teeth, fur, and tail.

It was such "noble" human beings who expelled them to this small and dark place.

Li Xiaoming saw the other person stunned, and directly chose to look into each other's eyes, releasing his murderous intent.

Suddenly, endless fear fell on the hearts of everyone present.

Everyone vaguely saw a huge snake-like creature coiled around this man. The sharp claws, hard scales, and the dazzling light on the head were all frightening, and they suddenly lost all will to fight.

To be honest, Li Xiaoming didn't want to cause trouble. He went on a killing spree without thoroughly investigating this area. Killing innocent people indiscriminately was obviously not worth it.

"Wait for me, human!"

Hassan finally put down his harsh words and retreated with his tribe in despair.

Chu Moyue felt a little bored and thought she could start a killing spree, so she took the dagger back in frustration.

"A Ming should not be so kind next time. Letting the tiger go back to the mountain is not a good choice. Since he chose to intervene to help, it is a situation where water and fire are incompatible."

Li Xiaoming looked at the fleeing enemies and persuaded them: "Ah Yue, some things are not as simple as imagined. I don't agree with meaningless killing just to satisfy the inner pleasure."

"Oh, okay, I can't defeat you." Chu Moyue didn't bother to argue with this man.

Li Xiaoming walked to the front of the Ratman team and greeted cordially: "How are you? Is the injury okay?"

The other party shook his head in confusion, obviously not yet aware of what happened.

Li Xiaoming used supernatural energy to heal their injuries, which made their eyes full of astonishment. They couldn't believe that the pain disappeared and the wounds healed automatically. This was something that only the high priest could do.

Then the four remaining people looked at each other and jumped up and down with joy.

"What the high priest said is true, her prophecy is true, we are saved!"

"The Son of God has finally arrived, our disasters will disappear, and our souls will finally return to the Holy Land!"

The rat captain was not as nervous as the other four team members, and he calmed down.

He cautiously asked, "Who are you?"

He could clearly feel that these four people were very powerful. Any one of them could kill 1/3 of the people in the tribe, especially the leading man. He did not carry any weapons, but he seemed to have a large number of people. The priest has the same ability to communicate with unknown creatures.

Li Xiaoming tapped his forehead with his hand, forcing him to calm down, and happiness overflowed from his heart.

"Don't be so panicked. We are just ordinary explorers. Among the four of us, I am the only one who can understand your language. You can speak freely and boldly. I am very interested in the story of your tribe."

The rat captain asked doubtfully: "Are you really not a reinforcement sent by the God of Life and Nature?"

"Oh, do you believe in Sora Kom?" Li Xiaoming did not answer this question. Instead, he first asked about the faction they believed in.

The rat-man captain nodded, feeling a good impression of these people in his heart.

After all, people who know and understand the God of life and nature are definitely not bad people.

The main reason is that the other party is too powerful. The moment he touches him, he can change his emotions. This proves that nothing can be hidden from his thinking and perception, so he does not need to lie, because he is so strong that there is no need.

Li Xiaoming asked: "If possible, can you talk about your tribe in detail? I almost forgot, let's introduce each other first."

"That's Chu Moyue. You can provoke anyone, but don't provoke her. Tell your people to be careful. The one with the lewd smile is Jin Cheng'an. The one who seems to owe him 800 yuan is Jie Xiaohei. , as for my name is Li Xiaoming, this is the first time we meet, please take good care of me."

He shook hands with the other person cordially, not caring about the thick gray hair on the other person's hands.

Apart from anything else, these claws are really furry. It’s hard to imagine that they are 99% related to humans.

The other three people could only stare, watching him and the rat man talking and laughing. The main reason was that only Li Xiaoming could understand and master their language. He was the only translator in the audience.

The rat man captain bowed to everyone, "Nice to meet you. My name is Duoji. Thank you for saving us. Whether you are rescuers sent by God or not, please come to our tribe and accept the hospitality well."

Li Xiaoming started to translate and was suddenly stunned. "I just introduced our names. He said his name is Duoji and he hopes we can visit his tribe."

He frowned and recalled the handwriting on the paper. The pronunciation seemed to be Duoji. Could it be due to the difference in language? The other party might also be called Duojin or Duojila.

Maybe I was overthinking it. After all, it can be seen from the equipment that the cultural level of the other party's tribe is not high, and the probability of their names overlapping is also very high.

In this world, there are fully 100,000 people named Zhang Wei, and there are countless classmates named Li Ming in the books.

Since they had just met, I did not tell the other party about the remains in the tunnel just now. I planned to tell each other after discussing them in detail.

The other three people didn't pay attention to the question of "Duoji"'s name, and just nodded in a friendly manner.

Duoji said: "My benefactor is in danger outside, and several other tribes are still watching. The other tribe may come back to retaliate. Please come with me to the tribe for refuge first."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Li Xiaoming could only agree. Instead of wandering aimlessly in the forest, it would be better to go deep into the local area, understand the tribal life and culture, and experience the differences in the environment.

So the rat people cheered and jumped up and down. It seemed that they had completely forgotten the sadness just now. They were so nervous that they almost went up to hug Li Xiaoming and the others. If Chu Moyue wasn't afraid of rats, he almost would have done it.

Just as everyone was following Dorje, the remaining four rat men suddenly turned around and picked up the body that fell to the ground.

Each person carried at least two corpses, some from rat people and some from cat people, but no one picked up the equipment that fell on the ground, which surprised Li Xiaoming and his party.

Li Xiaoming asked curiously: "What are you doing? Are you preparing for a grand burial? Then why are you transporting the enemy's corpse back? Do you want to preserve it first and let the other party redeem the corpse? It seems that there is a lot of friendship."

Duoji looked at this man in confusion, "No, they are burned and buried in the ground to plant crops. This is the best fertilizer. With these corpses, this year's harvest will be better."
