This bloodthirsty vine took root next to a stone pillar, and the vine climbed up it. It was big and thick, and the whole thing was a deep red color. It was obviously different from the previous one that had never seen blood.

He's a ruthless character.

However, Qin Yuan has never been afraid of this guy who has no subjective consciousness and relies solely on instinct. What he is worried about now is how to cross a long distance and enter the crack in the ground not far from the roots of the bloodthirsty vine.

This ground crack is not long, strictly speaking it is more like a rectangular pit.

As long as he enters the crack in the ground and takes out a stone slab from his backpack to block the gap above, the bloodthirsty vine will become his natural bodyguard. There is basically no need to worry about danger before the bloodthirsty vine dies and he can safely shed its shell.

And the growth of this bloodthirsty vine is so gratifying. It seems that there are no creatures nearby that can do anything to it. Those who eat plants are no match for it, and those who can defeat it are very few vegetarians.

The plan was a little rough, but it was originally a stopgap measure that he came up with after seeing the bloodthirsty vine. Faced with the growing sense of restraint in his body, Qin Yuan couldn't think of any better way for a while. After all, he was just

Just a little spider that hasn't shed its shell yet.

The problem now is how to enter the crack in the ground. Qin Yuan stepped back and forth to test the length of the bloodthirsty vine, which was its attack distance.

"Pa!" Qin Yuan stepped back lightly, looking at the vines that almost fell close to his head, and nodded with satisfaction.

Fortunately, he is not too far away from the crack in the ground. He can enter the crack with at most two rounds of attacks. If he feints with a shot, he will most likely only be hit once.

It's just that the width of this vine is a bit wider than him, and I don't know if it can bear it even if it hits it.

Qin Yuan was thinking in his mind, but he did not hesitate in his actions. After finding a flat stone nearby and putting it in his backpack, he started to act according to the plan.

After deceiving an attack, when the Bloodthirsty Vine retracted more than half of its vines, Qin Yuan rushed forward with all his strength.

Now Qin Yuan's crawling speed was no longer as slow as at the beginning. At this time, he used all eight legs to fly up. As expected, he successfully entered the crack in the ground after only one attack.

Qin Yuan took out a stone to block the gap above the crack in the ground. He breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the bloodthirsty vine did not hit the stone. As for the cracked carapace on his body again... he felt that there was no need to be like Latiao.

In the dark sealed environment, Qin Yuan finally no longer resisted the body's spontaneous desire to shed his shell, and devoted himself wholeheartedly to the preparations for shedding.

............

While Qin Yuan was shedding his shell in an orderly manner, in a cave more than ten miles away from where he was, the rat-man high priest Tuqi was kneeling under the altar, praying devoutly to the great god who had given him new life.

"You are the embodiment of chaos! You are the protector of evil!"

"The great master of the abyss—Dorisen!"

"I pray for your attention, I pray for your favor, and I pray for you to give me strength!"

...

Tuqi prayed devoutly and fervently over and over again. When he woke up from ignorance, serving the great God was his only mission.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something, and he looked up at the altar in surprise.

A skull without a jaw was enshrined on the simple altar made of stone. At this time, the skull was emitting a black halo, and it seemed to be conveying some message between its expansion and contraction.

Tuqi had already lowered his head, listening to the oracle with a fervent and serious expression. After a moment, he fell to the ground and shouted solemnly.

"Praise be to you! Great Lord of the Abyss! Dorisan!"

"Your will is my life's mission!"

Tuqi knelt and crawled back a few steps, then slowly raised his body and left the altar.

The body of the rat man is not tall, and the rat man in the endless cave is shorter than the outside world due to the environment and food. However, with this thin body of less than one meter, he dominates several surrounding caves.

However, their life was not good before. It can even be described as desperate. They were constantly being hunted and hunted by their natural enemies, the kobolds, and they were so thin that they had no power to resist.

When Tuqi was very young, his father was eaten by kobolds, and it was his mother who dragged the brothers and sisters into hiding, barely surviving.

Although the situation was difficult, thinking about it now, it was really the happiest time in his memory.

However, that damn kobold didn't let them go even like this. When he went out to look for food, he killed his mother and all his brothers and sisters. At that moment, he was so helpless and desperate.

Fortunately, an unexpected contact during his escape allowed him to accidentally activate the altar of the great god, and he received the gift of the great god, which enabled him to gain wisdom and strength.

He gathered his tribe, summoned his companions, shared this power, and finally killed all the kobold tribe that massacred them.

But this is not enough. Although they now have some ability to protect themselves against the kobolds, there are still more powerful kobold tribes deep in the cave, and they still need stronger strength.

And this can be obtained as long as he completes the oracle!

He firmly believed in this.

Just like he firmly believes that all kobolds deserve to die!

On the high platform, Tuqi was wearing a hooded black robe, holding a staff made of kobold leg bones, releasing magic power and calling out to his tribe and companions.

It didn't take long before the Ratmen were summoned. They were warriors of the Ratmen tribe and the most loyal supporters of Tuqi.

Then the rat clansmen appeared one after another. They may not have strong power, but they are agile and good at hiding. Even the kobold warriors must be cautious when facing their sneak attacks.

The last thing that appeared was their rat companions, rats swarming out from all corners, and there seemed to be an endless amount of rustling between them.

"quiet!"

Tuqi's magic power surged, the invisible pressure fell, and soon everything became quiet under the high platform.

Tuqi nodded with satisfaction, and then shouted loudly in rat language: "I have received a revelation from my Lord!"

Many rats and mice in the audience quickly knelt down respectfully after hearing these words, and no one questioned Tuqi.

As the favored one of the great God, the high priest of the rat people, the savior who turns the tide, and the wisest leader of the rat people, his words are the truth!

"The souls of those who kill will gain immortality, says the Lord! Those who devour the hungry will gain wisdom!"

"My Lord needs a grand killing feast. He will send down divine power to bring new life to this ignorant world!"

Under Tuqi's hood, a pair of eyes radiated scarlet light, and he shouted loudly: "Go, release your nature, and please my Lord with a feast of flesh and blood. My Lord is watching us!"

"Praise my Lord!"

"Praise my Lord!"

...

Many rat men shouted, piously and fanatically.

On the high platform, Tuqi watched this scene with an equally enthusiastic expression.
Chapter completed!
