Chapter 26

"You? Want to trade with us?" Noah listened and shook his head: "This is the most unreliable thing I have ever heard."

These guys are thieves and robbers, and these guys offer to trade? Anyone with any sense would not think this is a reliable thing.

Moreover, why wouldn't they just rob something that they had to obtain through trading? It's more suitable to rob now, isn't it? Everyone here seems to be elite. If they do it, Noah will only feel that his scalp is numb and he will not be able to escape.

"You have no choice." The other party said, and then looked at Noah a little dissatisfied: "Besides, I'm not talking about you."

Noah choked, sighed helplessly and looked at Blacka next to him.

Indeed, I have no right to decide, I can only see what this super lucky newcomer has to say.

"What if I refuse?" Blacka did not express his position first, but said softly: "Or, can you tell me what it is first?"

"It's hard to say here." The rat man bowed slightly to them: "Please, follow us back to the nest."

"But we haven't eaten enough yet." Bai Ling, who was standing at the back, hesitated and asked, "How about we wait until we finish eating?"

The atmosphere instantly became awkward, and Noah didn't know whether to run away first.

I really don't know how they survived in this kind of hell this week. I feel more and more that Blacka is now so strong that it's hard to predict.

I walked in the Black Forest with such a drag bottle for a week and still didn't look embarrassed at all. Either I was lucky or Blacka was too strong.

"We have prepared a banquet." And the rat man really answered: "We can chat while we eat."

Blacka glanced at Noah with a pleading expression and found that he was avoiding his head - he didn't know what the situation was, and he didn't intend to take the blame after making a decision and encountering danger.

He was the one who made the decision this time. If there was any interference, Bai Ling pulled his sleeve and his eyes lit up.

"Then I'll ask you to lead the way." Blacka sighed, then looked at him and said, "I hope you won't make any small moves."

The rat man didn't answer, but bowed slightly and turned around. He tapped the ground with the cane in his hand, and a blue light spot lit up.

It hits a spot with every step it takes, leaving long traces behind it.

"Are you so sincere?" Noah was also happy. Ratmen have always been the most dangerous enemies for adventurers. The main reason is that there are too many and they are very cunning. It is simply miserable for humans to deal with them.

This is the first time I have been invited by a ratman like this.

Just as he was about to walk out, Blake pulled his wrist.

"There is a special guy on your right, in the back area." Blacka said softly, "I didn't detect its aura."

Noah was stunned and looked over according to his instructions. He found the guy very easily - it was holding a tree with one hand and half of its body was hidden behind it. It was hunched over and looking at them.

In Blacka's perception, this guy was quite weird. He could detect it because it stood up and could see it. And he didn't even hear this guy's heartbeat. He was right there, but Blacka didn't look at him.

Just think that he will disappear at any time.

Just like the original pig-shaped ghost, it is a ghost that appears and disappears in the forest. Occasionally it can show a little aura, and then disappear immediately.

"Fan, come out." The rat man leading the way suddenly stopped and shouted to the other side: "We will not fight."

"I can't trust these guys." This guy's speech was far less slow than the guy who led the way. It looked at Blacka. Although they were not of the same race, Blacka felt that this guy was not friendly to him.

But he still followed the leader's instructions and walked out, standing in front of them - this way it would be difficult for him to launch a sudden attack.

When he walked to the front, Blacka saw the weapons he was carrying. They were two double knives tied at the end with bandages. They were hung directly on his arms. The pure green blades were at least separated from other people's weapons.

A grade of quality.

It can be imagined that this is a good player among them, because even though he is already standing in front, Blacka still feels that this guy is weak. If he is not deliberate, he still cannot notice this guy.

But at least this showed their sincerity, so they took action.

The road they walked was not short, and they were silent all the way until they saw the rat man's residence.

If these guys hadn't indicated that this was a nest, Blacka would have been hard-pressed to imagine that a place with an entrance that could only allow one person to slide in was the lair of these guys.

Not surprisingly, after entering, we saw an extremely large underground city.

This is a strange space. The entire top is reinforced with something unknown. It appears in a huge semicircle, and a cone-shaped city appears in front of it.

And countless rats.

But Blacka still didn't feel crowded because they took the initiative to avoid it. In this city of rats, humans are so out of place.

They did prepare the banquet as promised.

On the table that is not much higher than the ground is placed food that can only be found in the black forest. From roots that look like sweet potatoes to some edible beasts here. From snakes to mushrooms, they are all stewed for who knows how long.

The soup pot revived Bai Ling, who was dissatisfied because he had been away for too long.

And surprisingly, the person negotiating with them turned out to be a human being.

Oh, it's a little inappropriate to say he's a human. I should say he's a rat-man who looks a bit like a human. This guy is wearing human attire, and sitting there from a distance really makes him look like a human.

Moreover, she is also a girl who looks surprisingly cute.

But it is not the leader. The leader is sitting behind the curtain behind her. She also stated from the beginning that she is only speaking for herself, and the adults behind her want to appear out of their respect.

Noah soon realized that they had asked this guy to negotiate because they considered the discomfort they would feel as humans.

There is no need for the rat people to be like this. Now they have arrived in their territory. The number of rat warriors here is so large that Noah thought it was the Hongmen Banquet.

Unlike Noah who thought so much, Blacka's original vigilance disappeared completely after Bai Ling ate something really delicious.

Watching this guy eating really doesn't make him serious. It seems to be a very happy thing. She eats leisurely and doesn't eat much. The mouthful is not big, but no matter what it is, she will chew it for a long time before taking her time.

Swallow it. It seems that it is not for the sake of being full, but simply because eating itself is a pleasure.

Then Blacka felt a chill on the back of her neck again, because right behind her, wherever she leaned against the wall, she was always looking at the two of them.

Still didn't feel much of this guy's breath, and it was still a noisy environment. Blacka couldn't guarantee that he would know whether this guy had made a move at any time.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Cang." The rat girl sitting opposite said softly: "The reason why I am here to speak for you is because the leader is not in a very good condition."

She stopped here and looked at Bai Ling who was carefully picking out the meat from a bone on the opposite side - she ate very carefully, even if the bone looked clean, she still liked to pick it off

Keep everything edible as clean as possible.

Or...since this guy is a descendant of the White Wolf, it doesn't seem strange if he just likes to chew bones?

"Well, Bai Ling, it's a bit rude for the other party to eat while talking." Blacka reminded in a low voice.

Although he didn't understand these things very well, he vaguely remembered such a saying.

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, and then he didn't express anger or anything. He just nodded, put down the bones in his hands, carefully wiped his hands and mouth with a handkerchief, and then sat upright.

She is not a person who does not follow etiquette, but she is not very clear about these things now. So she always does some impolite things subconsciously.

Then she raised her head and saw her empty head turning briefly as she looked at her warehouse. She lowered her head as she scratched her hanging hair in embarrassment.

It seemed that this was her way of saying she was sorry. It took Blacka some time to confirm that this guy was using this strange way to apologize.

"Are you the White Wolf's dependent?" Cang said a little dissatisfied: "It turns out that guy also has a dependent."

Blacka was stunned. Firstly, she mentioned the white wolf, and secondly, she mentioned the white wolf with complete hostility.

"Forget the polite words." Noah, who was sitting next to him, said, "Tell us the content of the transaction. The longer you delay, the more insidious we look to us."

"Hey, human being. You are just a foreign priest. It's too disrespectful." Fan in the corner suddenly said with dissatisfaction: "Even if you are unreasonable and unforgiving, there should be a limit."

"Huh?" Noah was also stunned, not understanding what he meant by being reasonable.

"Cang, don't beat around the bush with them." Fan looked at the guy over there who was angry with him and said without any worries: "These guys look disgusting to me. Send them away as soon as possible."

"But this matter cannot be explained in a few words." Cang sighed, looked at Blacka over there and said: "In short, only you and this female family member can do this. We have to ask

you."

"Why?"

"The white wolf has occupied our holy land." Cang Mei didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "The place where it is located is the place where our spirit rat clan has been making pilgrimages since thousands of years ago. But now that the white wolf has occupied it, we have not been affected by it for ten years.

Guidance from the ancestors.”

"I don't understand, it has been given death with the Nail of Death, hasn't it?" Blacka said softly, while carefully paying attention to Ghost's eyes - but this guy was still thinking about how he was rude and made the other party unhappy.

I still blame myself for it.

"The guardian will never die, it just dies. But its energy, soul, and even blood are inaccessible to us." Cang said, "And after we lost the holy land, we can't get the spirit.

It is only a matter of time before our race collapses."

She paused and then told the story in detail.

There are also high and low levels of guardians, and among natural things, in addition to white wolves, there are other beast guardians.

The spirit rat is a special case among the guardians. Although its body is very tough compared to other rat people, it is far from immortal. Unlike all guardians, it will die.

But unlike other guardians, it can have offspring.

It is not creating a dependent family like other guardians. It is slowly releasing all its spiritual power while cultivating and reviving.

All descendants are its dependents, or in other words, all descendants are itself. In other words, one is the whole, and the whole is one.

When he was about to die, he took his descendants to build an altar, and guided his eternal soul to form spiritual stones, spiritual power and other creations with the power of the guardian there, and then passed them on to the descendants who came to offer sacrifices.

There are always some descendants who cannot bear the load brought by the spiritual power source, and at least these descendants need to have something that can prevent them from dying easily.

Because although they reproduce from generation to generation, the source of spiritual power will continue to increase. Now a rough calculation shows that their total spiritual power now far exceeds that of spirit rats.
