With the death of the acting city lord, Dugar,
Most of the freed rats chose to pack their bags and set out on a journey. Regardless of life or death, they just wanted to see the outside world. They had spent enough time in this corrupt and cold city.
But some people chose to stay in the city, gathering at the remains of the plague beds, and drinking as much plague fluid as possible flowing on the ground, hoping to open up the source of income.
Some even found a large hole in the center of the wreckage and crawled deep into the cave filled with corpses.
When this group of greedy ratmen crawled deep into the cave, ready to gnaw on the remains of the plague giant and suck the green rotten fluid between the corpses,
Buzz!
A feeling of being stared at came from the darkness,
The rats raised their heads one after another, as if they saw countless green eyes staring at them in the darkness.
"Jiji~ Lord Dugar is not dead yet!?"
Trespassing into a plague bed was a serious crime. The rat people were so frightened that they planned to flee the cave as quickly as possible.
Just as they turned to flee, the scene in front of them suddenly became pitch black.
It wasn't that someone turned off the lights, but their eyeballs were peeled off in an instant... The eyeballs of the entire underground cave, whether alive or dead, all gathered in a certain direction on their own.
Relying on instinct, this group of eyeless ratmen still crawled out, but they were completely frightened and fled out of the city like crazy.
Crash, crash!
Just at this moment, the plague rain that had gradually subsided suddenly intensified, and even streaked green lightning in the sky.
All signs seem to indicate that the Green Prime Minister Dugar is not dead, and has even become more powerful.
Whether they were the rat people gathering food in the ruins, or the rat people scattered in other areas of Rat City, or the rat people who had already left the city, they all felt a sense of being watched directly in their hearts, forcing them to look up.
Something was slowly emerging from the clouds that were raining plague and flashing thunder. After waiting for a moment, an extremely large eyeball appeared and stared at everyone.
The giant eye shot out a vertical beam of green light that landed right in the depths of the pit.
Between the beams of light,
A mysterious individual wrapped in a cloak slowly floats up.
Behind his head, four completely different eyeballs rotated at an equal distance and at a constant speed.
The second one that had just been activated turned a plague green color, giving everyone a more terrifying feeling than Dugar, as if anyone would turn into a pool of plague pus as long as they were stared at by this green eye.
As the four eyeballs slowly gathered in the mysterious man's hands, they flowed back into his body along the skin of his arm.
The sudden rain stopped, the lightning dissipated, and the giant eye disappeared like an illusion.
When the rat people kneeling around tried to secretly look at the face under the hood, they found that this mysterious man was not Dugar at all, but a strange face.
A face covered with endless wrinkles and eyeballs. It feels like if you look at it for one more moment, it will catch fire and explode to death.
"Huh..."
Little Grape in the form of a prophet took a deep breath. The second core corpse in his body had been activated and some of his memories had been completed.
The overall level has also reached the open source limit. Its growth method seems to be different from that of ordinary patients. Even it itself does not know what state it will reach when all the corpses are activated.
The little grape floating in the air had no intention of staying. It looked around and soon locked onto the Meat Slice Villa located thousands of meters outside the city.
Stretch your arm forward and snap your fingers!
A green plague eyeball shot out quickly,
He immediately followed, flying in the air with one foot on the green eyeball representing the plague.
As green exhaust spurted out from the tail of the eyeball, it accelerated continuously and flew directly into this peculiar villa carrying Little Grape.
He landed steadily with his hands still on his waist.
"Haha! This Grape has already activated the second core ancient corpse. I don't need to practice any diseases to reach the open source limit directly. The next step is to start looking for and completing the way!"
However, William and Kim just glanced at each other and turned back to continue chatting.
This made Little Grape feel very uncomfortable, and she even wanted to leave in anger. At this moment, William, who was chatting, suddenly said loudly:
"There may be no rest time in the next abyss exploration. Little Grape, do you need to rest for a while?"
"I just finished a feast. How could I need to rest? Let's just go."
"That's great! I have already discussed it with Jin, and she will go to the abyss with us.
But before we set off, we still have to do one thing. Little Grape, your child skills should have improved a lot, right? I need you to take care of this matter first."
"What's the matter?" Little Grape vaguely heard some questions and did not agree directly.
“You also saw it when you were in Rat City, the tallest tower, the Darkmoon Tower.
Can you see through the situation inside with your current vision? You don't need to do much, just confirm whether the legendary 'Second City Lord' is still alive in there.
This time we have made such a big deal that it has even directly disrupted the structure of the Rat City. A large number of rat people will leave as a result, but there is still no movement in the tower.
I suspect that the city lord in the rumors has long died in there due to the trauma left over from the war, and I need your help to confirm this matter."
When talking about the Dark Moon Tower, Little Grape's eyes became alert. "What is there to confirm? Since others don't care about the changes in Rat City, why don't we just leave? Life or death has nothing to do with us."
"No... If the legendary "Moon Rat" is still alive, I want to meet him. And Jin is also very interested in this ancient Knight of the Tumor."
"Ahem~Alright! But let me make it clear first, I am only responsible for perspective observation, and I will only take a look. I will not help you with anything else that happens later."
After hearing Little Grape's somewhat unconfident answer, William asked, "Little Grape, you must have sensed something during your breakthrough, right? That's why you were in a hurry to leave Rat City and come to us instead of staying where you are to consolidate.
There's something scary inside that tower, isn't it?"
"I didn't go to see it, but my instinct made me refuse to spy on the tower... However, since you sincerely asked me for help, I will reluctantly agree to it this time."
"Thank you, little grape."
As he spoke, Little Grape transformed directly into the most common scarf form and followed his actions.
When everyone left the temporary villa, the entire villa was recycled along Jin's heel and turned back into a small ball of flesh in the body, achieving perfect recycling.
He also rushed back to the city at a gallop. During the run, William asked curiously:
"Jin, speaking of which, it seems that the Tumor Knight also has a corresponding mount, right
The three knights I saw at the entrance of the circus last time all had cancerous mounts corresponding to their own attributes. Don’t you have one yet? "
"Not yet, after all, I have only been a Knight of the Tumor for less than a week.
The Cancer Palace is different from the original tomb, which always has resources of dead horses. You can get a mount by passing certain assessments.
If we want to build a mount, we have to prepare various precious materials, even including a healthy servant soul, preferably a sufficiently powerful animal spirit.
I hope this exploration of the abyss will yield some results~ But... I can barely accept the soul of a mouse, hehe."
William understood Jin's intention and said, "Jin, it's better not to attack the tower rats. It's better for me to negotiate first."
"If the other party is unwilling to negotiate and has become corrupted and insane due to the erosion of the abyss, then I can take action, right?"
"Let's talk about the details when we meet each other."
When we returned to Rat City again, the entire inner city area was empty due to a series of actions by Little Grape.
When everyone arrived in front of the Dark Moon Tower and looked up at this completely different tower that soared into the sky,
Even Jin felt a certain unknown sense of oppression at this moment, as if the entire tower was pressing down on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The eyeball appeared on the surface of the scarf, and as the remaining scars covered the eyeball, the vision was enhanced to the maximum.
The seal set on the surface of the tower was slowly penetrated by the little grape, peeking into the deep and dark interior of the tower.
I spied a glimpse of silver-white hair.
A pair of completely absent-minded eyes,
And the dark matter that is faintly moving between the eyes.
