After the spoils were divided, Scale Armor couldn't wait to leave with the warriors of the Crocodile Tribe and the spoils.
They originally wanted to take advantage of the war between the Teng Tribe and the Black Snake Tribe to run to the Black Snake Tribe camp and make a fortune, but because the war ended too quickly, they were intercepted by Jiang Xuan who rushed over.
For Scale Armor, this was an unacceptable loss and a great humiliation.
Every moment he stayed there made him feel as if he was being roasted by fire.
“Clatter…”
On the river bank, big crocodiles one after another entered the water, carrying crocodile tribe warriors and spoils into the turbulent Nan River.
Scaled Armor looked back at the forest and the divine vine above the forest, and felt a strong sense of anger and hatred in his heart.
"Sooner or later, you will regret your choice today!"
Scale Armor left a word in hatred, then drove the big crocodile upstream, swimming towards the crocodile tribe.
In the forest by the river, Jing Jie watched the big crocodiles swim away and whispered to Jiang Xuan:
"Chief, this time we have made enemies with the Crocodile Tribe. Will they still make deals with us and allow our fleet to pass through the Crocodile Tribe's territory?"
Jiang Xuan said: "Don't worry. Judging from the performance of the Crocodile Tribe, they only care about profit. As long as they can continue to gain enough benefits from the transaction with the Vine Tribe, this conflict is nothing."
"However, this incident has reminded us that when dealing with the Crocodile Tribe in the future, we must be more careful and have backup plans, and we must never trust them too much!"
After this incident, Jiang Xuan saw through the short-sightedness and greed of the Crocodile Tribe, and his trust in the Crocodile Tribe plummeted.
This also fully verifies the saying: There are no eternal friends or enemies, only eternal interests.
As long as the benefits are great enough, the roles of enemy and ally can be switched at any time.
After watching the Crocodile Tribe leave, Jiang Xuan put away his spear and said to Jing Jie, "I'll leave this to you. I'll go back to Mangzhu Mountain to take a look. You guys guard these spoils and prisoners."
Jing Jie said sternly, "Don't worry, Chief. I will never let anyone touch these spoils!"
Jiang Xuan nodded, then called the purple eagle Tangyuan and rode it to Mangzhu Mountain again to deal with post-war affairs.
However, as soon as he arrived at Mangzhu Mountain, he saw something extremely cruel.
“Squeak…”
Two demigod giant rats actually started fighting over a piece of the black snake god's tail, and the fight was very fierce.
When it comes to this kind of internal fighting among rats, the totem gods of other tribes will not intervene at all. They will just stand aside and watch the show, and protect the members of their own tribe from being affected by the fighting.
Even the warriors of the Rat Tribe could only watch from afar, waiting for the two demigod giant rats to decide the outcome of the fight.
"What's going on?"
After Jiang Xuan got off the back of the purple eagle, he went straight to the Rat Tribe and found the Rat Tribe’s witch, Ze Lan.
Ze Lan's face was very nervous. She stared at the battle between the two demigod giant rats and said to Jiang Xuan, "After the Vine God killed the Black Snake God, he distributed its body to various tribes. Our Rat Tribe got a piece of its tail."
"But the two Rat Gods are unwilling to share it equally, because this is a chance for them to truly become gods."
"So, the two rat gods started fighting, and the winner would eat the tail and become the true god!"
Jiang Xuan asked curiously: "What about the loser?"
Ze Lan said solemnly: "In a tribe, only one true god is allowed to exist!"
Jiang Xuan suddenly realized: No wonder these two demigod giant rats fought so fiercely, it turns out that the winner can become a god, and the loser will die!
"boom!"
A huge rock on a distant hilltop was knocked down by two giant demigod rats, and the rock rolled down the hillside with a loud noise.
“Squeak…”
The two demigod rats were biting each other madly, while trying their best to fight for the piece of snake tail.
They fought from the mountains to the valleys, from the forests to the rivers, and both sides were exhausted and wounded.
After fighting for a long time, one demigod rat found an opportunity, bit the throat of another demigod rat, and then bit it off fiercely.
“Huh…huh…”
The giant demigod rat whose throat was bitten off was struggling desperately on the ground, but its throat was broken and blood was gushing out, so it could no longer make any meaningful sound.
At the same time, with the massive loss of blood, it no longer had the strength to fight back even if it wanted to.
In the end, this demigod giant rat was bitten to death, and the other demigod giant rat won.
The victorious demigod rat crawled on the ground, accepting the cheers of the rat tribe members while breathing heavily and licking the wounds on his body.
After a short rest, it began to quickly gnaw on the hard-earned piece of snake tail.
This piece of snake tail came from a fallen totem god of a great tribe, and its flesh, blood, and bones all contain abundant divine power.
When it had eaten one-third of it, all the wounds on its body healed quickly, and the divine power in its body expanded rapidly.
When it had eaten two-thirds of the fruit, its body began to grow rapidly and continued to grow larger.
Not only that, its bones, flesh, internal organs, five senses, etc. all began to evolve, and the fluctuations of its divine power gradually became stronger.
After it had completely eaten the snake's tail, a large number of dark clouds suddenly gathered in the sky, and rumbling thunder was heard.
At this time, the giant rat had grown to the size of a hill, with a body length of more than 100 meters. The hair on its body had become as hard as steel needles, its claws had become extremely sharp, its eyes were shining red, and its aura was extremely astonishing.
"squeak!"
The giant rat raised its head and let out a sharp cry, then buried its head and continued to gnaw on the dead demigod rat.
“Boom!”
The dark clouds gathered more and more, and there were rumbling thunder and lightning in the sky.
When the giant rat finished gnawing on the corpse of its former companion, its aura finally reached its peak, and its demigod body gradually evolved into a god body, and the surging divine power could not be suppressed and released outwards.
“Crack!”
A thick bolt of lightning finally fell from the sky and struck the giant rat hard.
“Chi…”
The giant rat let out a scream, and its newly transformed divine body took the lightning strike head-on, causing its hair to be singed.
“Huff, huff, huff!”
After it realized what was happening, it immediately waved its claws frantically and dug a hole in the ground.
“Boom!”
“Crack!”
The second lightning struck, directly striking the giant rat into the pit it had dug, causing the giant rat to smoke all over and scream in pain.
However, its efforts were effective. As soon as the lightning struck it, part of it was directed into the earth, reducing the damage to itself.
“Huff, huff…”
The giant rat endured the severe pain and paralyzed body and continued to dig the hole frantically, trying to hide itself underground.
“Crackle, crackle…”
Soon, lightning struck one after another, hitting the giant rat again and again, leaving its skin and flesh torn and bloody, and even emitting the smell of barbecue.
When the totem gods who were watching the fun nearby saw this horrific scene, they all remembered the tragic events when they were struck by lightning when they became gods. They all retreated involuntarily, away from the range of the thunder tribulation.
Most of the warriors from various tribes had never seen such a terrifying thunder tribulation. The blinding lightning and loud thunder made most of the warriors look terrified and their limbs went weak.
I don't know how many terrible lightning strikes there were. After finally enduring the catastrophe, the dark clouds dissipated, and a big hole was struck on the ground.
"Did it work?"
Jiang Xuan looked into the pit and saw that the giant rat had been chopped black all over, as if it had been burnt, and he couldn't tell whether it was dead or alive.
Everyone in the Rat Tribe also became nervous.
The Rat Tribe hasn't had a true totem god for a long time, which directly leads to their inability to obtain the true power of the totem, and their fighting power is far inferior to that of the warriors of other tribes.
If this giant rat still cannot become a god, even with the protection of the Teng tribe, they can only live in secret and behave themselves.
Ze Lan stood beside the big pit, constantly calling out to the giant rat, hoping to get a response, but to no avail.
Just when everyone thought that the giant rat could not survive the calamity, a faint heartbeat was heard in the pit.
“Plop… plop…”
At first, the heartbeats are so weak and so long in between that they are barely audible.
But as time passed, the heartbeat became stronger and faster, and finally it became like the beating of a drum.
“Crack, crack…”
The giant rat that was charred by the cracking gradually began to regain its life characteristics. The charred "shell" on its body gradually peeled off, and new hair grew.
When the "black shell" was completely peeled off and the skin and hair were all replaced with new ones, the giant rat finally opened its eyes again.
"squeak!"
It slowly stood up, raised its head and let out a sharp roar, revealing its terrifying divine power without any concealment.
Ze Lan stood up excitedly, opened his arms and shouted: "The Rat God succeeded!"
"Rat God! Rat God! Rat God!"
The members of the Rat Tribe stood up one after another and burst into warm cheers.
At this moment, they finally felt relieved.
After more than a decade, the Rat Tribe finally has a new totem god again. They will soon have the real power of totems like the warriors of other tribes! (End of this chapter)
