These rats newly attached to the Longtooth Kingdom told the teacher that they used to live a carefree life and were basically at the top of the food chain. Other than this natural enemy, there is almost nothing in the underground world that can threaten them.

The adaptability and reproductive ability of the snake clan to the environment are actually far inferior to that of the rat clan.

In the "Calamity Era", humans on the ground were severely damaged, and the underground ecosystem was also devastated, especially the extreme changes in climate, which made it difficult for the cold-blooded snakes to adapt, but warm-blooded Rats, who are not restricted by meat and vegetables, are more likely to survive.

Therefore, in the past, as long as a rat tribe had a little bit of wisdom, it could live a good life with "there are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys are kings". It has a crushing advantage over cockroaches, centipedes, lizards, and even toads.

But since a few months ago, the situation has undergone a strange change—insects and lower reptiles, which were originally muddled and impossible to awaken wisdom, have possessed a high degree of organization and purpose similar to bee colonies and ant colonies The nature of these scattered and weak Rat tribes was defeated several times, and even a few Rat tribes were submerged by the swarms, and all the Rat tribes were gnawed into bones.

Next, some snake tribes appeared at the door of the frightened rat tribe.

The strange thing is that they didn't wander in to kill wantonly, but asked these rat tribes to contribute their harvest regularly, and released their hands to spy on a place called "Long Fang Kingdom".

These Rat Clans originally developed alone in the dark and ignorant, and they were equivalent to muddle-headed barbarians, who didn't even know what the Longfang Kingdom was.

Under the coercion and lure of the snake tribe and the swarm, they could only bite the bullet and agree.

While spying on the movement of the Long Fang Kingdom, they also learned about the origins of these mysterious but extremely ferocious insect swarms and snake tribes from another side.

It turned out that just like the Rat Clan was able to evolve to a high degree and developed a civilized force like the Long Fang Kingdom, the Snake Clan evolved into a so-called "snake demon" in the rolling wave of spiritual recovery, possessing high intelligence and great ambitions of variants.

Because there are too few underground snakes, and the straight-forward form of snakes is not suitable for the development of a highly organized society, the "snake demon" simply found another way and targeted insects.

It is said that within half a year, the snake demon has controlled most of the ferocious, acidic or poisonous insects within a hundred miles.

One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, naturally,

Also in the rising period, the Fang Kingdom, which is as vigorous as the rising sun, has become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the "snake demon".

The national teacher inquired from these rat tribes that in the past few months, there were several missing patrol teams in the Longfang Kingdom, all of which were killed by the army of snake demons.

And now, the snake demon is calling all the insect and snake tribes within a hundred miles. These rat tribes have been around for a long time, and they have never seen insects or snake tribes nearby.

The sudden gathering of the army must have a goal that must be achieved, otherwise the daily consumption of tens of millions of insects would be astronomical. Unless the "snake demon" discovered the supermarket buried deep underground, it would never be able to afford it.

Thinking this way, the national teacher ordered the expeditionary army to go straight to several snake nests where they had dealt with before and knew the exact coordinates. Sure enough, they all rushed to nothing, leaving dozens of scattered snakes in the winding snake nests. Except for the skin, not even half of the earthworms were to be seen.

And on the only way to the Longtooth Kingdom, they found a large area of ​​wet traces, smeared with traces of centipedes, millipedes, toads and other insects crawling everywhere.

Through the mouth of the Rat tribe, the national teacher knew that the location of Luminous City had been exposed.

Relying on its keen sense of smell, it judged that the "snake demon" must have led the army and went straight to the lair of the rat civilization.

The national teacher made a decisive decision and gave up all the spoils from the expedition, even half of the weapons and the wounded, and returned to the Luminous City as quickly as possible, but he was caught by it!

It's a pity that this is the first confrontation between the snake demon and the rat civilization.

The Snake Demon didn't go into battle in person, and the one who was defeated and almost slaughtered in the city of Yeguang just now was far from the Snake Demon's true strength.

The contest between the two sides has just begun, and it is definitely not the character of the Rat Clan to take revenge without revenge. This war will continue for a long time, and the next wave of war is destined to burn to the lair of the Snake Demon!

"The national teacher said that this is a holy war, and it is also the final test left to us by the gods."

The cat eater waved his little paws and said with a serious face, "We represent goodness, light and justice, while snake demons and bug swarms represent darkness, ugliness and evil, as long as we can completely get rid of the darkness and ugliness in the underground world , you can open the passage to enter the world on the ground, to rebuild the world after the fall of the gods!"

Chu Ge was slightly taken aback, not understanding what the national teacher meant.

Yes, due to the limitations of their physiological structure, it is almost impossible for insects and snakes to develop any effective civilization—or, with a sliver of possibility, a civilization recognized by human beings.

In the face of the mighty swarms of insects and snakes, human beings will never hesitate. The only choice is to take up weapons and insecticides and wipe them out completely.

However, they belong to mammals, can also make sounds, learn language and writing, and perform various complex movements with their limbs. There is still a slim chance of one in ten thousand for the rat civilization to get the acquiescence of human beings to pinch their noses and become a temporary ally.

Think about it, some mice with superintelligence, driving all kinds of small and exquisite tools, work hard on the level that humans cannot touch, underground tunnels, pipelines in high-rise buildings, dark and dirty spaces in ocean-going ships... Both sides seem to have No small complementarity!

From the standpoint of human interests, Chu Ge has to admit that the Rat Clan is "bright, kind, and righteous", while the Snake Clan and the Insect Clan are "dark, ugly, and evil".

But the national teacher said, "This is the final test of the gods. As long as we win this war, the Rat Clan will be able to open the passage to the ground world and build a world after the fall of the gods." What does this mean?

It is impossible for the national teacher not to know that human beings have not fallen, and above the head of the Long Fang Kingdom is Lingshan City, which is full of feasting, traffic, and has a population of millions!

Could it be that the national teacher has made up his mind to let the Longfang Kingdom surface and appear majestically in the eyes of mankind?

If that's the case, is it because I "cure the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain"? The national teacher is actually a good person, no, a loyal dog?

Chu Ge thought of the naive and loyal appearance of the national teacher again.

Bewildered for a while.

Before he was confused for a long time, a messenger ran over and said that the city of Yeguang had been cleaned up, and a large open space had been cleared. The national teacher was calling all the meritorious ministers to prepare rewards and lectures.

That is basically a replica of the "identification and brainwashing" procedure carried out by cat eaters after breaking through the rat tribe.

It's just that the scale is hundreds of times larger, and the methods are much more sophisticated.

When Chu Ge and the cat eaters rushed to the base of Yeguang City, they found that the corpses of the siege insects and snakes had been piled up in what was originally an earthworm pasture.

The bloody corpses have piled up a literal "mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood", and there are countless squirrels and black rats crawling around on it, breaking down the edible meat and usable bones—— The meat of lizards, snakes, and some centipedes can be eaten, and the bones can also be ground into bone spears, bone axes, and bone shovels. Although they are not qualified to equip the regular army of the Tusk Kingdom, they are used as labor tools or temporary weapons for slaves. Still quite handy.

As for cockroaches, millipedes, toads, and all kinds of fragmented and uncollectible flesh and blood, they are simply buried under the earthworm pasture and luminous plantation—the soil here will become extraordinarily fertile with the nourishment of these flesh and blood, and it won’t take long. Definitely a good catch.

And under the Night Light City, in front of the demon statues made of countless corpses, tens of thousands of Rat Race stood in a uniform and silent manner, welcoming their guide and savior.

Even though Chu Ge was vigilant, he was still deeply shocked by this dreamlike scene.

At the same time, he found that he really couldn't bear the slightest dislike for the national teacher.

Putting aside the treacherous and unpredictable purpose, the national teacher is really an easy person to like, no, a dog.

What Chu Ge likes most about it is that it doesn't confuse and brainwash you with long speeches as soon as it comes up.

Instead, he waved his paws, let the slaves hold an unlimited supply of food, and let the big guys open their bellies to make it. It's a big thing, let's talk about it after it's done.
