Chapter 5, The Good Deeds of the White Rat
Soon, the rats came out in a stream and appeared in every corner of the mountains. The special products produced in the mountains were also placed on the altar one by one. However, the mountains were barren and could not provide any offerings.
Bats, insects, snakes, mostly these things, as well as eyeless fish fished from underground lakes and bats in caves.
The spear rat didn't care about these things as sacrifices, but the white rat's eyes turned red and he was particularly angry.
"How can the honorable gods enjoy such offerings!"
He shouted angrily at the spear rat, but the spear rat didn't care about this question.
"We can only give such offerings."
He responded lazily.
After escaping from danger, the spear rat's willingness to believe in Du Yuan suddenly decreased a lot.
This is also a common problem that many apprentice gods will encounter after they have just anchored their clans. The powerful and excellent individuals in the clans are not so convinced of the ethereal gods who cannot be touched or seen.
But the growth of the clan depends on these excellent individuals.
The spear rat lay down, and a few ratmen came to serve him, looking relaxed.
But this did not last long.
The angry white rat set his sights on this damn guy, looked at him briefly, and then looked away. Obviously, he was not strong enough to challenge the spear rat.
His sight was fixed on the ordinary ratmen entrenched in the cave.
Soon, a splash of blood broke the spear rat's comfortable and leisurely state.
The angry eyes were cast on the white rat not far away.
The white rat's white hair was stained with a glaring red. A thin ratman was lifted high by him and struggled weakly in the white rat's hand in the sharp hissing like a leak.
The sharp teeth tore the throat of the thin ratman, and blood splattered, some of which splashed on the spear rat's face.
The spear rat looked at everything in front of him in shock and anger, watching the white rat pour the blood of the ratman in his hand into the underground lake, and placed the gradually stiffened ratman on the altar.
The cowardice and timidity of the ratman never affect their cruelty and coldness.
Academy of Gods.
Du Yuan came to the logistics management office again, and he selected the remaining two divine resources, a luminous moss and a cave mushroom, both of which were prepared for the ratman.
After investigating the environment near the ratman, Du Yuan discovered a very helpless reality.
If his own ratman wants to fight out, then the only direction is really the forest, that is, the only way to go is to fight the lizardman to death.
Only by defeating the lizardman can we rush out, get more abundant food, and have more room for development, but the biggest problem now is that we can't win.
A thousand ratmen still fought back and forth with the lizardman team of only fifteen, not to mention that Du Yuan may not even have a thousand ratmen in his hands now.
It is undoubtedly wishful thinking to rely on these ratmen to defeat the lizardmen in the forest.
So Du Yuan prepared these two things and prepared to give them as rewards during the first official sacrifice of the ratmen.
Relying on the underground caves, this should allow the ratmen to obtain a stable source of food. After all, if the food depends entirely on fishing and catching bats in the underground lake.
No matter how many bats and fish there are, they cannot withstand such a situation.
As for why these things should be given during the sacrifice, it is related to the image of the gods.
If you want to become a qualified god, then it is best not to have rewards for no reason. The easier it comes, the less you cherish it. This is a common problem of wisdom.
Moreover, Du Yuan's Spring Call was not loaded immediately, and he was ready to use it at the first official sacrifice of the ratmen.
At that time, spend a little more faith and use the divine core to activate the god card at the moment the god card is loaded. You can get a particularly good effect and a particularly obvious god card activation.
Combined with the rewards of luminous moss and cave mushrooms, it is just right for Du Yuan, the trainee god, to support the scene.
At the same time, these two things are also just right for the rats. Only when the food problem is solved can they talk about development. Du Yuan needs more rats.
After the exchange was completed, Du Yuan left quickly.
At this time, some different ripples were set off in the school.
Some people asked about the news, about the rats, but among the trainee gods of this year, probably only Du Yuan would have a relationship with the rats.
Du Yuan didn't know about this.
After two consecutive anchoring failures, and seeing the virtues of his former friends and alienating them, Du Yuan, who became a lonely man, also lost a large part of the source of information.
In the dormitory, Du Yuan sat cross-legged and descended again along the connection of the divine core. In a flash, Du Yuan came to the sacrificial world again, but he just came and found something wrong.
Wait?
Didn't he remember that he had a thousand rats? How come the cave suddenly became so sparse!
After besieging and killing the lizardman team, Du Yuan's ratmen suffered heavy casualties.
But the number of ratmen when they first anchored successfully was large enough, and it only dropped from more than a thousand to about a thousand.
Why are there only 800 left now?
One-fifth of them were reduced in an instant, which is not a small number!
Could it be that the lizardmen or something else came to attack them?
He couldn't help but be concerned, after all, the ratmen were related to his path.
He quickly investigated, but soon he found out where the disappeared ratmen went, in the water, or in the underground lake, or more accurately, died in the underground lake.
The underground lake was dyed red, and the bodies of ratmen of all sizes were floating on the lake.
And a stone pillar that was also dyed red stood in the center of the underground lake, and the surrounding stone altars were filled with hideous ratmen heads of all sizes.
A long silence.
He didn't know why the scene had turned into a terrifying evil god sacrifice scene after he had only been away for a while.
No, who did this!
What was he doing!
Well, the culprit was not difficult to find. Soon, Du Yuan found the source of all this.
That was a guy who was excitedly directing the ratmen to push their kind into the lake. The guy that Du Yuan was just about to train, the white ratman!
This guy actually chopped two hundred ratmen and pushed them into the lake for sacrifice.
After a long silence, Du Yuan felt that he might not need so many sacrifices.
His mouth opened and closed, and finally, a complex helplessness appeared on his face.
Things had already happened, and Du Yuan had no way to pull up the two hundred ratmen who had already been soaked. As for using the oracle to rebuke the white rat to stop him, Du Yuan rejected it after thinking about it.
If the loss could not be recovered and the white rat's faith was shaken, it would be a bit of a loss.
And now the situation among the ratmen is also a bit complicated.
After the incident caused by the white rat, the belief in Du Yuan among the rats became more divided.
The believers became more fanatical, and many of the rats who followed the white rat became senior believers, about sixty in number.
On the contrary, the rats who followed the spear rat directly became non-believers, and even the spear rat was no exception.
There were two hundred of them.
As for the middle faction who were still alive and not pushed into the underground lake by the white rat to tremble, they were a mixture of non-believers and shallow believers, about five hundred in number.
As a god, Du Yuan had his own position. Even if what the white rat did could not be said to be cruel, it could be said to be unscrupulous.
But Du Yuan could not attack him. First, he was the only fanatic believer of Du Yuan, and second, almost all of Du Yuan's believers followed him.
Believers were the foundation of Du Yuan.
