The Death Knell

The rats are very familiar with the sewer environment. This is their home. Soon the large army dispersed into pieces and disappeared into the darkness, leaving only the largest rats still leading the way.

Speaking of which, they are quite good at doing things. When they reach some intersections or road signs, the big rats will stop and squeak a few times, just like a tour guide introducing the scenery.

But Su Ming didn't want Hangzhou to be exposed to rats for a long time, so he took back the symbiote long ago, and therefore the relationship between the two parties returned to a chicken-and-duck relationship.

The other party didn't care about this, so Su Ming deduced that there was a controller behind the group of rats. That guy should be able to speak English. Otherwise, the rats would definitely regard the strangulating tentacles as an important communication bridge, which would not be easy. Let go.

Deathstroke has been through many actions in the sewers, but this is the first time that a mouse has led the way. This style is also a bit too dark and fairy tale.

As the rats turned left and right underground, passing through the 'levels' they had built with discarded garbage, and then leaving the sewers and entering the tunnel dug by the 'Rat Power', the group of people went straight to the depths of the underground.

Along the way, Su Ming also saw more mice, some big and some small, all looking curiously in the darkness.

They might not want to be as uneducated as they thought, because Su Ming saw some mice gathering mushrooms in the mud and rotten wood, and collecting fat beetles in the garbage pens like animal pens, which should be their food.

After mastering basic agriculture and animal husbandry, it would be a tribal society at least.

This also made Su Ming have some guesses.

"Zhizhi."

The mouse who led the way came to a garbage dump and asked the farmer for two large mushrooms. Then he turned back and handed them to the death knell.

Apparently it was intended as a return gift in exchange for cheese.

This way, Su Ming felt a little fond of them. At least they knew how to make deals and had some understanding of the world, which would be easy to handle.

Of course, he has no intention of eating mushrooms grown by rats. Drinking radioactive mushroom tea on Earth 313 is one thing, but it is another time here. Although Su Ming is not affected by any disease and is invulnerable to all poisons, he never Eat things picked up from sewers.

If Wade were here, it would be okay to let him have a taste.

He thought so, but he still reached out and took the two mushrooms and put them away.

Seeing him accepting the gift, Big Rat showed a very human smile, then barked a few more times and continued to lead the way.

"Slade, can you give me a taste of that mushroom?" Gwen's little head poked from behind again, holding her fingers in her mouth as if curious: "I haven't eaten crops grown by comic mice. "

"This is a real mutant mouse." Su Ming sighed and put the mushroom into her hand, which was still stained with some dirt: "I'll give it to you if you want to eat it, but it's best to wait until you have a chance to wash it off."

"It's okay, I'll keep it first."

Gwen put away the mushrooms with satisfaction and was about to sell them. She didn't really want to eat them.

This is a mushroom grown by mice. If it is later posted on the Internet, given Americans’ curiosity for novelty, someone should buy it.

Although he has found a regular job, it is always good to make some extra money. If Deathstroke doesn't seem to want something very much, then he can just ask for it. Who can refuse the request of a poor girl who failed?

However, Xiao Wang was very vigilant along the way. While he was constantly looking around, he even held the seal with both hands. He only needed to say the spell to cast the spell immediately.

........

In fact, these mice seemed to have no ill intentions. Ten minutes later, they led a group of people to a decorated hall.

It was said that it was decorated, but in fact it was just pulling some thread or animal tendons around the ceiling of the underground cave, and then hanging some rags and animal skins as flags.

There is a pillar in the center of the room, and these colorful flags are tied to that pillar, making it look like a yurt.

In the pile of cushions under the pillar, there should be garbage such as sofa cushions discarded by humans. There was a small figure sitting on it.

It was a mouse with long white eyebrows and white beard, wearing an ocher red robe and sitting there cross-legged.

Su Ming had a strange sense of sight. He immediately looked left and right, trying to find traces of the four turtles.

But it’s not that story after all.

Seeing Death Knell appear, it immediately smiled, and a glimmer of light flashed in its old and turbid eyes.

"Master Deathstroke, welcome to the humble home of our clan. The gods have already announced your arrival to me." The mouse spoke in standard London English. Not only that, he also walked upright on the ground and approached quickly with a cane. He stretched out his paws to shake hands with Deathstroke: "But now that the situation is special, I'm afraid I can't give you a better reception."

"I I...um!"

Gwen wanted to say something, but Xiao Wang immediately covered her mouth and glared at her. When the Supreme Mage communicates with others, it is best not to interrupt.

Su Ming's face was expressionless. Is he the kind of person who covets the entertainment of rats? Is it possible that when times are good, they can steal a chicken to entertain guests?

Speechless, he squatted down and looked at the other person at eye level. He stretched out his hand and gently shook the mouse's paw:

"Your god knows about me? Logically speaking, your rat god should be the enemy of the owl god, right?"

"I am also a spell caster, Supreme Mage Deathstroke." The old rat raised a front paw and skillfully released a magic for lighting. He also dragged a few people to sit in the garbage dump and said with a smile. : "Although our god is not an all-powerful god, he is definitely the most well-informed in the multiverse."

It said with a bit of pride, but it invisibly avoided the question before the death knell.

"So, you are the savior of Earth 802, is this the setting..."

Su Ming touched his chin, nodded slowly and expressed his guess.

Humans and rats are both natives of the earth. When all humans are extinct, rats will take over. This is the heroic spirit of succession!

That's not a problem. These mice have evolved intelligence and different personalities. Instead of treating them as animals, they are better regarded as ordinary neighbors.

"I'm not, I'm just an ordinary mouse mage. Although I do have the intention to take back the earth, you have also seen that we are now oppressed by the Morlun clan and can only survive underneath."

The mouse led several people to sit on the abandoned sofa cushions, and he sat back cross-legged, stroking his white beard and telling stories about the past.

In fact, there is nothing to say, it is just a trivial matter between totem gods. To put it bluntly, it is the relationship in the animal world. The owl wants to eat the mouse, and the mouse wants to protect itself. These are all natural choices.

The so-called owl god was once the powerful one, and it began to spread faith among the spirits of all things - human beings. The Rat God hides underground, relying on changing the rat species to stimulate spiritual wisdom and then cultivate believers.

In fact, the relationship between the two parties is not that tense. At least the situation from the mouth of the mouse is not bad. There is no direct conflict of interest between humans and mice. The world is such a big place, and everyone can play their own way.

This relationship reminded Su Ming of the Leopard God and the Ape God. Their followers, the Black Panther and the White Ape, were very difficult to deal with. They would fight and kill each other if they had the chance. But in fact, the White Ape tribe is in Wakkan. In the mountainous area next to Dabian, we are neighbors who hug together to keep warm.

If it weren't for Wakanda's visual interference shield, they would have been exposed long ago.

Low-intensity conflicts are not a bad thing for animal gods, as they can also eliminate the weak, although Su Ming doubts whether humans will really be eliminated by rats...

Anyway, what the mouse means is that everything was fine in the past, until the Morlun family arrived.

They ate up all the humans, occupied the earth, and imprisoned the owl god as a food supplement. Recently, they have shown the intention to extend their devilish palms towards the rats.

After all, they are also believers chosen by the gods, and they are also totems.

All of this is similar to what Su Ming had guessed before, and it should be part of the truth.
