Chapter 22 Surrender or Die

Surrender.

Or death.

The aggressive momentum made Gachi's breathing involuntarily freeze for two seconds.

However, it was only two seconds.

In just a moment, the fat rat let out a wild and unrestrained laugh.

"Submission?! Just because of you?! You are not as intimidating as the Death Troopers under Demon Lord Dragun! Why should Lord Gachi submit to you!"

"This is an order from hell." Bond looked at him indifferently and said in a cold and hoarse voice.

“Hell?! That hell that is who knows how far away from here?! Hahahaha! You want to make Gachi laugh to death! Let me tell you, we ratmen have never believed in your demon gods for even a second! The only ones who are worthy of our faith are the three supreme true gods! Lord Svelte, Gerlo, and Rifenda!!!”

The so-called three true gods are the Rat of Trickery, the Rat of Gluttony, and the Rat of Plenty, whom the Rat People worship.

Luo Yan had happened to learn about the three rat gods in academic books, and could only say that each one looked more abstract than the other.

In a sense, the reason why the rat people are not accepted by the mainstream society of Hell is precisely because of their rebellious nature.

Although there are rat clans attached to Hell, he has hardly seen any rats in the Magic City.

However, that was not what he cared about.

What he really wanted to know was something else.

"Why did you betray Hell?"

"Betrayal? I didn't betray you. As for those things in the maze, how could Lord Gachi know about them? Before the great Lord Gerlo gave Gachi power, Gachi was just a weak slave rat... a rat that you have never even looked at!"

Gachi let out a sharp laugh, and all the fat on his body trembled, as if mocking the stupidity of the demon king.

In just a few words, he had already found out that this demon king was so weak and pitiful that he posed no threat to him at all.

So he stopped hesitating and immediately changed his attitude.

"Since you've come to me...just go die!"

The sweeping rat tail was like a whip, and in just a moment it whipped "Bond" and flew towards the wall ten meters away.

The dust from the collision spread out in all directions, and the enormous impact force almost shattered the little flesh and blood left on Bond's body!

"Die! Die! Hahahaha!" Gachi screamed excitedly and unconsciously relaxed his guard.

Not missing this fleeting opportunity, Luo Yan, after reciting the spell, stood out from behind the protruding rock with his magic wand in hand, and a dark yellow light was released from the tip of the wand!

"The earth is falling!"

This time he was not aiming at the floor, but at the ceiling directly above Gachi's head! In just a moment, the originally solid cave dome shattered into several pieces as if it had been hit by a naval gun!

"boom--!"

Large chunks of rock fell from the sky, hitting the defenseless Gachi like a hail of bullets.

The fat rat was suddenly startled and was about to turn around to face Luo Yan, but was hit on the forehead by a huge rock, and its fat body stiffened for a moment.

And this moment of slowness has already determined the outcome of the battle!

In just a moment, large pieces of rubble pressed the fat rat to the ground.

Even with hundreds of tons of fat as a cushion, Gachi was still badly beaten and buried under the rubble, unable to move.

He looked at the human wizard standing in front of him with fear, and for the first time, his amber pupils were filled with fear that penetrated deep into his bones.

It screamed.

"You! You are the devil!"

Although this guy's size has expanded hundreds of times, his nature of being timid and bullying the weak is still the same as when he was the smallest.

Luo Yan smiled faintly, looked down at the frightened eyes and said.

"Yes, I wanted to give you a chance, but your stupidity told me that you didn't deserve it."

Looking at the gradually cold eyes, Gachi trembled and struggled desperately under the pressure of the huge rock.

"No! Lord Demon! Gachi... Gachi was just blinded by desire for a moment! Please give me another chance! I will lead my clan to be loyal to you! Help you recapture the labyrinth! Be your most ferocious minion!"

Afraid that Luo Yan would be soft-hearted and let this guy go, Youyou spoke hurriedly in his ear.

"Master Demon, please don't believe him! I don't sense any faith from him! He must be deceiving you!"

"I know. I'm not stupid."

After saying this, Luo Yan looked at the players behind him who were eager to make a move, and this time spoke in a language that the players could understand.

"What are you waiting for? It's the culprit that started this riot. Tear it apart!"

Upon hearing the Demon King's order, the skeleton soldiers rushed forward excitedly.

Some were holding short knives, some were holding long guns, and some were holding explosives that they didn’t know if they could be ignited…

Except for the one holding explosives who was stopped by Luo Yan, all the other skeletons aimed the weapons in their hands at Gachi's eyes, nose, ears and other vital parts.

Blood plasma and fat sprayed all over the floor. The scene could only be described as inappropriate for children.

A God-chosen rat with steel-level or even gold-level combat power was beaten to death under a pile of rocks by a group of skeleton soldiers without any level.

In this world, levels are indeed not absolute...

【Faith value +11000】

Just as Jiaqi took his last breath, Luo Yan was suddenly surprised to find a row of dark green pop-up windows flashed in front of him.

What is increased this time is not experience points, but faith?

"Youyou, what's going on?"

As the worm in Luo Yan's stomach, Youyou certainly knew what he was surprised about.

"Ah! That might be the faith that the slave rat contributed to the big rat. You and your players killed him, and his faith value was naturally transferred to you."

Luo Yan was stunned.

"Faith value can be transferred?"

Youyou explained.

"To be precise, what is transferred is actually the godhead... If you don't have an independent godhead, it will certainly not be transferred to you, but since you have it, you can naturally absorb it."

Luo Yan was immersed in thought.

"Godhead... I always thought he was something like God's Chosen One, or is God's Chosen One actually a kind of deity?"

Youyou: "It's hard to say. The Demon King is actually a similar existence, right? The core of the Demon King clearly has the characteristics of a god, but it's incomplete."

It seems that in this world, it is not just earthly power that can be divided.

After silently noting down the clue, Luo Yan also checked his spoils.

In addition to boxes and bundles of wheat, dried chicken, duck, beef, mutton, and dairy products, there are also some strange goods and coins that were probably collected from merchants.

It was also the first time that Luo Yan saw money in the human world.

There were several stacks of paper bills that still had a faint sacred aura, as well as some silver and copper coins printed with various emblems.

I don't know what this fat rat is planning to do with all this stuff. Is he planning to buy a house in the Holy City? Anyway, these things are now his.

Just when Luo Yan was thinking about whether to move these spoils to the Demon King's territory or leave them here for the time being, the early warning magic circle he had casually deployed at the entrance of the cave in the morning was suddenly triggered.

Noticing the situation at the entrance of the cave, Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"It's quite lively today. Another guest has arrived."

Having said that, he was not surprised at all.

After all, the North Peak Mine was originally one of the entrances to the underground maze of Thunder City.

It's just because the location is too remote that adventurers don't come here often.

"Want to capture them? Lock them up to accumulate faith points!" Youyou encouraged excitedly. It seemed that she was more or less influenced by the core of the Demon Lord. She looked more like a Demon Lord than herself.

"Let's take a look at the situation first."

Luo Yan waved his hand, and Bond, who was lying limp on the ground, picked up the sword again and stood up shakily from the ground.

Then he shouted to the players behind him.

"Except for the equipment, don't touch the spoils here! I have my own arrangements!"

In fact, "Natural Disaster OL" does not have its own storage space. Even if players want to move items, they can only use two hands. Luo Yan is not worried that they will rummage through their own territory.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After saying these last words, he took Bond out of Gachi's "palace" and walked towards the entrance of the mine.

Unsure of his opponent's identity, he did not take the players with him this time, but instead quickened his pace and disappeared around the corner.

Although the entire Beifeng Mine has complex branches, there is only one exit, so it is not difficult to find a few invaders.

As for the situation of passing each other, Luo Yan was not worried at all.

After those adventurers triggered the early warning array, they were already tainted with the aura of the undead. He could vaguely sense it as long as they were not too far away.

Obviously, the team that came this time was still one that could not afford to hire magicians and priests.

However, to be on the safe side, Luo Yan chose to let "Bond" walk in front, Youyou float forward as much as possible, and he walked at the back.

After walking for some distance along the mine, Luo Yan soon caught a glimpse of the light from a torch at the corner of the cave.

Listening to the conversations of those adventurers, they seem to be backing down...

"Boss, I feel like something is wrong here... I've been to the North Peak Mine before, and it wasn't like this before."

"This sword mark... should be left by Rexon. There's no mistake! And this is the mark left by an axe, it should be Am!"

"But where did they go? Into the maze?"

"Well... I can guess what Chris is planning, but if that's the case, they don't have to enter the maze. They can just stay near the entrance."

Hearing a familiar name from the conversation among the group of people, Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems that he is here to rescue his accomplices.

Then there's nothing much to say.

He gave a look to Bond beside him, who silently raised the sword in his hand and rushed towards the light source not far away.

"Dull and bleak!"

At the same time, Luo Yan raised the magic wand in his hand and pointed it at the cave in front.

This is a Black Iron-level necromancy spell that can extinguish not-too-hot fires as well as the Black Iron-level lighting spell.

When he was at Demon King Academy, he usually used it to extinguish oil lamps or candles.

The torches in the adventurers' hands went out in an instant, and the entire mine fell into darkness in an instant. Along with them, their eyes also fell into darkness.

His eyes went dark and a creepy feeling crawled all over Jack's body.

He almost subconsciously raised the sword in his hand, and then a huge force hit the side of his sword, causing pain in his knuckles.

When he met the attacker's eyes, his heart almost jumped out of his throat! "Bond?!"

wrong--

This guy has become an undead! And he was awakened by an undead spell at least at the bronze level!

"Wait a moment!"

Barely blocking the onslaught of the greatsword, Jack leaped back to create some distance, while raising his left hand.

"Please wait a moment! Dear Mage! We have no grudges against each other. There is actually no need to fight!"

"No grudges or hatred?"

Luo Yan, standing in the darkness, smiled softly and said slowly, "You have seen my magic. Do you think I will let you go?"

A drop of cold sweat ran down Jack's forehead.

He heard absolute confidence in the other party's words - this guy was absolutely sure that he could keep them all here!

Driven by the desire to survive, his mind worked quickly. Suddenly, his eyes moved and he spoke.

"Why not? This is the Kingdom of Ryan, and our belief in Saint Sith is not that devout..."

"And then?" Luo Yan said indifferently, manipulating Bond to move forward.

At the same time, the soul-sucking chains had been firmly put on the seemingly strongest man.

"We can cooperate!" Feeling death approaching, Jack screamed, "Damn it, you are a necromancer, not an undead! You must have something you need!"

Luo Yan stopped his hand and stared at the group of people standing in the dark with interest.

"You want to make a deal with me?"

Jack raised his head and looked into the dark cave, and said bravely.

"Yes... Many of my friends are actually doing jobs that would cost them their heads if they were known. If you think about it carefully, they are no different from necromancers... What I mean is! I don't reject you! And I won't report you! I can get you anything you need!"

"What if I want a pointy-eared slave?"

Hearing this, Jack's breathing stagnated, but he didn't say the word no.

"This will cost a lot of money... a lot of money. After all, the elves are allies of the Oss Empire."

Looking at Jack who was sweating profusely, Luo Yan smiled faintly and spoke in a casual tone.

"I just asked casually. It seems that you do have unusual channels."

This guy is obviously not a good person, but he will think before he speaks and promises, instead of just talking nonsense and changing his attitude according to the wind like a little mouse.

Seeing that the wizard hiding in the dark finally showed interest in him, Jack finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his palms on his pants.

"Of course! You'll need me! I swear to you! And, my name is Jack... Can you tell me your name?"

Luo Yan originally wanted to make up a name at random, but he quickly remembered that he could no longer take advantage of the Demon God's faith.

Sooner or later, he would have to develop his own beliefs and let his name resound throughout Thunder City and even the Kingdom of Ryan...

"My name is Luo Yan. Also, swearing to me is useless. I want you to swear to it."

As these words fell, a gray crystal ball rolled to Jack's feet.

Looking at the man with confused eyes, Luo Yan spoke in a nonchalant voice.

"This is a video crystal."

"I want you and your companions to swear an oath in front of it, saying long live the Demon God, long live the Demon King, long live Youyou..."

"And, Saint-Sis is a piece of shit."
