"Hmm? A clan change happened in the Serpent Clan? When did it happen? ... Two months ago?" Guan Liyuan finally heard this crucial news in a tavern in a small town where he was taking a break.
"Yes, I heard that the Orc Clan is going to have a civil war. I wonder if the three major countries will take the opportunity to send troops to weaken the Orcs." A bearded man dressed as a mercenary who traveled all over the country showed off his well-informed information in the tavern.
For other people in Barbara Country, this can only be regarded as a pastime after dinner, and they even gloat over the misfortune of others. The Serpent Clan among the Orcs is indirectly bordering Barbara Country. Although the Dwarf Kingdom lies in the middle, there are usually scattered small groups of Serpent Clan entering to plunder.
After all, the population density of the Dwarf Kingdom is extremely low. The Dwarf Kingdom itself is located in the barren mountains and volcanic terrain. There are not many other races living in the Dwarf Kingdom. The Dwarves also live in some places with strong underground fire, so small groups of Serpent Clan troops can sneak in.
In this plane, the concept of territory is not absolute. For example, the orc tribes are not theoretically part of human countries, but they are not completely unable to coexist. Even the three major countries have some elf villages in their countries that are not under their control.
It is just a large-scale troop transport, and the Dwarf Kingdom will definitely not sit idly by, so the invasion is not serious.
Therefore, in the Barbara Kingdom, which was not seriously invaded by the orcs, everyone regarded the civil strife and siege of the Snake Clan as fun.
Guan Liyuan's face became a little uncertain...
The civil strife in the Orc Clan had nothing to do with him, but "Snake Clan"... This word always made Guan Liyuan care.
At the same time, Guan Liyuan was a little helpless - he had asked the Unicorn Mercenary Group and the Storm God Cult to inform him of some "big events" before, but they didn't even know such a big thing?
After noticing Guan Liyuan's strange expression, Heywood, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but whispered apologetically: "Although there are usually small groups of snakemen who bypass the dwarf settlements and invade the border, they all happen in the north... We almost never see orcs from the Orc Clan in Storm City, so..."
So in the instinct of the Storm City forces, the orcs don't need to be paid attention to at all!
This time, it was Heywood, one of the three high priests, who led the Storm God Cult to the capital Barbara City.
"It doesn't matter, I just listen to the fun, hahaha." Guan Liyuan was even more depressed-is my mind so easy to guess? Where is the calm face that the protagonist in the legend should have?
"That's good, that's good." Heywood pretended to "I believe it", but secretly said in his heart: It doesn't matter? Your face is about to fall on the table!
Guan Liyuan thought about it and felt that there was no need to overreact for the time being. After all, just based on the two words "snakeman", it is not certain that it is related to the Queen of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave or the Lord of Dread.
And since other clans want to take the opportunity to attack the Serpent Clan, Guan Liyuan is happy for them to verify it for him! Judging
from the previous situation in the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, the strength of the Queen of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, although not yet at the level of "Demon King" or "Supernatural", is not far off, at least at the peak of the World Realm...
According to Guan Liyuan's estimation, the number of people in the entire "Saint Realm" of this plane is about the same as that of the Paradise. If the promotion ratio of the light environment, domain, and world realm is similar in the future, the peak of the World Realm should be counted on one hand.
And the Queen of the Ten Thousand Snake Cave is probably not just an ordinary peak of the World Realm. If she is really in the Serpent Clan, those Orc Clan will probably kneel.
"It will take another two days to reach Barbara City, right?" Guan Liyuan asked.
"Yes, at the current speed, if we set off tomorrow, we will arrive the day after tomorrow. The auction will be in seven days." Heywood said.
Guan Liyuan nodded, and asked Heywood in a lower voice, "Are there any rat tribes nearby?"
Heywood was surprised when he heard this, and at the same time signaled Guan Liyuan to speak more quietly, and answered in a low voice, "There are many rat tribes in the Seventeenth Pan Mountain, and there is a holy rat, a true holy existence."
"A rat man in the holy realm?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.
"No, it's... a rat-like monster. It's a monster raised by the rat people on the Seventeenth Pan Mountain. Somehow, it was promoted to the holy realm more than 70 years ago... I originally wanted to mention this to Mr. Guan. If you encounter a rat-like monster during the day's journey, don't take the initiative to attack it, and don't kill it if you can." Heywood said.
Guan Liyuan was also amazed by this. Just like the Black Wolf Tribe raised a group of black wolves as mounts for wolf riders, the rat tribe also has the tradition of "raising rats", but the rat tribe's raising rats mostly relies on numbers. Can they actually cultivate a rat beast in the holy realm? Could it be the legendary "operational error" that trained it?
Of course, Guan Liyuan just listened to Heywood's reminder casually...
The reason why Guan Liyuan asked about the rat people was that after entering the town, Guan Liyuan found that several rat people were staring at him furtively. At first, he thought they were thieves. However, in the tavern, a table of rat mercenaries who seemed to be drinking just looked at him three times pretending not to care!
They didn't know how wide the field of vision of "white eyes" was, so they didn't know that they had been discovered by Guan Liyuan...
Once or twice, it could be said to be a misunderstanding, or being stared at by a thief, but so many times... Guan Liyuan was almost certain that the rat people were targeting him!
[Is it really related to the Seventeen Pan Mountain? ] Guan Liyuan muttered in his heart.
However, Guan Liyuan's attention to this is not as much as his attention to the Snake People's Clan thousands of miles away.
If it was when he just crossed over to this plane, although Guan Liyuan had the strength of "comparable to the Saint Realm", he would definitely pay attention to it if he really met an opponent in the Saint Realm. But now... in Guan Liyuan's view, paying a little attention to ordinary Saint Realm is already very face-saving.
Heywood didn't know Guan Liyuan's thoughts. After setting off the next day, although he was a little nervous, he was not very afraid of the rat tribe on the Seventeenth Pan.
After all, the Seventeenth Pan Rat Tribe did not make a living by robbing humans. Unlike the pure bandit tribe of the Black Wolf Tribe, although they were stronger, they did not need to worry too much.
However...
just after they really approached the Seventeenth Pan Mountain, an "accident" occurred beyond Heywood's expectations.
"Stop!" Guan Liyuan, who was sitting in the car, suddenly got off and stopped the team of more than 30 people from the Storm God Cult.
"Huh? Did Mr. Guan find it?" Heywood also got off another carriage and asked in confusion.
"Still not coming out..." Guan Liyuan did not answer, but curled his lips in disdain.
Immediately, Guan Liyuan stomped his feet, and the surrounding ground suddenly trembled. At the same time... countless bone spikes and bone towers pierced and rose from the ground around the team!
And each of them was not a false thorn. Each one had a rat beast of varying sizes on it, and screams suddenly broke out...
Haywood's face changed, and he called the disciples of the Divine Religion around him to gather in a circle. He did not complain that Guan Liyuan was too ruthless. The rats were good at burrowing into the ground. Now there were so many rats lurking around them. It was definitely not a coincidence, and it was even less likely to be well-intentioned! Roar
-
a few muffled roars came from underground, and seven or eight huge rats escaped from the ground on the east side of the team. There were several rats standing on the back of each of them, and there were also a few small and medium-sized rats ranging in size from "fists" to "buckets"!
"Bold human! You actually attacked my rats for no reason..."
A rat was about to bite back, but Guan Liyuan pointed at several rats who were pierced by bone spikes on the spot and interrupted with disdain: "This one has been following us since we left the town, this one joined us an hour ago, and this one left two hours ago. Did you go to notify the main force? You have been following us for so long, just to say these few words?"
