Before long, Xiao Yin returned first.
"Hiss~"
"Brother, that little mouse wasn't lying to us; it's already brought the other mice over."
The little silver snake lightly touched the ground with its tail and darted onto Xiao Longzhan's shoulder.
A few minutes later, the mutated rat indeed arrived with its whole family.
There were thousands of them, all about the same size as it.
Xiao Longzhan looked at them and clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction.
The expanded container area is huge; even the villages they visited before have become part of it.
With so many rats in front of us, they can't serve much of a surveillance purpose.
The rat huddled next to the mutated rat suddenly shuddered.
'Squeak squeak squeak—'
Son, has he noticed that many of the rats here are just our neighbors...?
After overhearing that all they had to do was hide underground and listen to humans talk to get some incredibly delicious corn, these rat neighbors completely ignored any attempts to stop them and followed them.
And there's one more crucial reason—
Alas, it's all their ancestors' fault for choosing the city as their home, so they are now completely unaccustomed to jungle life and always want to go back to the city.
Now, an opportunity to return to the city is before them.
"Aren't rats supposed to reproduce very quickly? How come there are so few of them?"
'Squeak?'
The mutant mouse's father was stunned. So little?
So this little human baby who suddenly appeared here wasn't complaining about their numbers, but rather that they were too few?
'Squeak squeak squeak!!'
As soon as Xiao Longzhan finished speaking, the mice behind him started squeaking and chattering.
However, their talent was too low, and Xiao Longzhan didn't understand a single word.
But Little Silver and the others understood.
"Brother, they said they have relatives in this mountain. If you need them, they can call them over."
Go and shout!
Xiao Longzhan waved to the rats in front of him.
Upon hearing this, the rats scattered in all directions, leaving only the mutated rat family, about a hundred of them.
After looking them over, Xiao Longzhan took out ten large ears of corn, each twice as thick as his arm and nearly half a meter long.
"Here, have a small taste of the reward!"
Xiao Longzhan placed the corn in front of the mutated rat family, then turned and glanced back at the little blood fox.
"Your Majesty, go back and check on the little fox's situation."
The king nodded, turned and left.
The mutant rat family couldn't wait to climb onto the corn and start munching away.
'Squeak squeak squeak!'
Delicious!
This is the best corn they've ever eaten!
In no time, all ten ears of corn were eaten clean.
Seeing this, Xiao Longzhan emitted a wisp of dragon energy from his fingertip, instantly attracting hundreds of pairs of small, beady eyes.
'Squeak squeak squeak!'
The mice were eager.
Xiao Longzhan smiled faintly, then fed the dragon energy from his fingertips into Xiao Yin's mouth.
They didn't forget Big Gray, who had been guarding behind them, and fed it a mouthful of dragon energy as well.
'Squeak squeak squeak!'
The mutated rats were drooling with envy, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Little Silver and Big Gray.
"As long as you complete the task I assigned, in addition to the corn you just received, I'll give you some of this as a reward~"
Xiao Longzhan wagged his finger, then his face darkened, and he threatened, "But if I find out you're all lying for the reward, I'll arrest you all and make you food for my Xiao Yin and the King!"
'Hiss~'
Little Silver cooperated, its tongue flicking in and out continuously.
'Squeak squeak squeak!'
The mutated rats quickly shook their heads, indicating that they dared not.
Their strength was already at the bottom of the rat family, and even mutation couldn't change that fact.
They can't even beat human children.
Therefore, they were among the first mutated animals to be driven out of the city by humans, and were also the object of ridicule by other mutated animals.
Xiao Longzhan nodded in satisfaction, a smile returning to his face.
Seeing him smile, the mutated rats breathed a sigh of relief.
They instinctively felt that the human child in front of them was very capable.
After all, those who aren't strong enough won't get here. They'll be cruelly killed and eaten by other animals in the mountains before they even reach the foot of the mountain!
And the two snakes beside him gave them a sense of dread that made their souls tremble.
The only thing that made them feel less oppressed was the gray eagle behind the human child.
But it could kill them just as easily.
Many thoughts raced through the tiny heads of the mutated rats.
"Do you know the Shen family and the Yun family in Beijing?"
Xiao Longzhan looked at them and suddenly asked a question.
The mutated rats nodded instinctively.
They have passed down their knowledge from generation to generation, and they even know more about Beijing than humans do.
They naturally knew about families like the Shen family, whose lineage was even longer than their own branch of native Beijingers.
Although the Yun family has not been passed down for a thousand years like the Shen family, it still has a history of several hundred years.
Most importantly, these large families are wealthy and powerful; even the leftovers are enough for them to enjoy several delicious meals.
"I am from the Shen family and the Yun family."
Seeing them nod, Xiao Longzhan continued, "Many people have come to Beijing recently, and there's nowhere for them to stay."
There was a large vacant lot across from our house, so the base built a large container area for them to live in.
But I'm worried that there might be bad people inside who could hurt my family.
So your task is to monitor everyone inside, and if you find anyone with a problem, come and tell me.
