After retching for a long time, Wang Jerry finally managed to pull himself together. Amid Wang Tom's snickering, he took out a gas mask that he had gotten from somewhere and jumped down resolutely.
Levi couldn't help but nod secretly. At the critical moment, this guy was still quite ruthless.
Maybe after today's events are over, they can continue to date for a long time.
The ratmen's frontal combat capability is indeed very weak, but they are good at underground threats and can often launch good sneak attacks.
With the joint efforts of both sides, the ratman guards here were quickly killed. Wang Jerry began to look for the wealth he wanted, while Levi kept in touch with Khalida and asked his subordinates to be vigilant.
Accidents are most likely to happen at such critical moments.
But Wang Jierui probably figured it out. He didn't cause any trouble. He quickly collected a lot of information and found a few large boxes.
Even if it wasn't opened, as soon as Levi saw the green light coming out of the gap, he knew there must be dimensional stone inside.
To be honest, he was somewhat interested in this special material at first.
But after a deeper understanding, he gave up decisively.
Not only is this thing usually only used by fearless ratmen and half-dead necromancers, other people are likely to be contaminated by the filthy and evil power in it and then mutate.
Moreover, the buying, selling and researching of dimensional stones are strictly prohibited in the human, dwarf and even elf kingdoms.
Since even buying and selling is not allowed, there is not much use for him to get that thing. This is one of the reasons why he gave in so easily just now.
The only exception is probably in the Weixi Province of the Zhendan Dynasty. The dragon god who rules there - the god of alchemy and forging - Binlong - Zhaoming, is quite interested in this material.
The alchemist of the Zhendan caravan had said before that they would use this as raw material to try to make pills or something.
However, he couldn't go to Zhendan in a short period of time, so he was not in a hurry to get these things.
Then he saw that Wang Jierui was very sensible and took the initiative to bring most of them to him, motioning him to keep them first.
Levi was also a little surprised for a moment. He thought he would have to spend a few more words on this matter, but he didn't expect the other party's attitude to change so quickly?
But it’s okay, everyone is friendly and can finish the work early and go home early.
So in return for the favor, he also gave the other party the latest information.
Just now, the Scorpion Guard discovered a very special ratman.
The other party was huge, at least three or four meters long. For the rat people, it was too fat and looked almost like a ball.
At the same time, it was too slow. It had no reaction at all to the noise and fighting around it. It just kept gnawing on some pieces of flesh and blood.
Levi immediately realized that it should be the reproductive female rat here.
In the rat-people society, the number of female rat-people is very small, with only one female rat-person appearing among several thousand rat-people.
Such precious female ratmen, while becoming their reproductive tools, naturally also become the most important assets of the ratman tribe.
In a sense, they are similar to the queens in bee colonies and ant colonies.
Only by having reproductive female rats can we truly establish a qualified ratman clan and continuously produce various ratman cannon fodder.
It is also said that in many clans, the opportunity to mate with it is considered a great reward.
Most ordinary rat people can only be single rats for their entire lives.
However, these reproductive female mice usually do nothing but eat and give birth non-stop. Not only are they super fat, they also have basically no brains at all.
There is absolutely no female ratman like Wang Tom, who is not only slim and delicate, but also looks quite cute and even knows how to fight, among the native ratmen.
Only after having reproductive female rats can Wang Jierui start a new clan of ratmen.
This can be considered as a slight motivation for him. So far, all those who have sincerely cooperated with him have not suffered any losses.
Upon hearing this, Wang Jierui was overjoyed. He had been searching for it for a long time but couldn't find it. Unexpectedly, he got the information from Li Wei.
After thanking Levi, which was rare, he immediately started to get busy.
Levi was a little confused at first. How could Wang Jerry and the others get rid of such a big creature that was fatter and more clumsy than a pig?
After all, they still have to go to the Silver Blood Army's lair, and there is still some danger in taking it with them.
Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Kamo also jumped down, enduring the pungent stench.
Then he used some unknown trick to turn the opponent into a phantom and put it into a scroll.
Noticing Levi's gaze, He Mao chuckled: "This is the trophy I got after killing a Hana-no-Maki. It can hold a living creature that is not as strong as me in it for a short time."
"Oh, by the way, Hana-no-Maki is the name used in Nibon. Translated, it roughly means the monster in the painting. Almost everything in Nibon can become a monster."
Levi nodded. After hearing the information from Lilith and getting a general understanding on the forum, he actually had some contempt for the gods of Nibon and the many types of troops under their command.
But now it seems that they still have some special moves and cannot be completely underestimated.
Then he said nothing and just stared at the other person.
He Mao was a little confused for a moment, but Wang Tom next to him immediately understood something. Compared with her brother, she seemed to be much more talkative, but in fact she was more clever.
Compared to those dimensional stones and the like, Levi obviously thought that this reproductive female rat was more valuable and more worthy of being used as a guarantee.
So she immediately signaled Wang Jerry with her eyes.
If it was a few minutes ago, Wang Jieri would definitely be angry about this, but now he already had some ideas in his mind, so he didn't waste any time and directly asked He Mao to hand the things to Levi.
Lao Tzu said: If you want to take it, you must first give it. Now is a good time for both parties to build trust.
Levi was a little surprised at first, but he soon understood what the other party meant. He must have taken a fancy to something on him, and it was most likely a Death Guard.
After all, constructs are very qualified cannon fodder for most races.
Not to mention that he had several types in his hands, including those for use in the sky, on land, and in caves, the only thing missing was a model that was good at water battles.
With this awareness, the atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious.
So after discovering the armory of the Corrupted Clan, Levi did not try to take the military weapons inside.
Most of them are junk, so let's not talk about them. The remaining weapons and armor are obviously made according to the size of storm rats. For dwarves and elves, they are of no use at all except to be recycled.
Non-magical items do not automatically adapt to the wearer's size.
If he came here simply to annihilate the rat people this time, then he would be really disappointed.
So he was very generous and gestured to the other party to take it all.
Since there weren't many things to begin with, Wang Jierui and his team finished moving quickly.
In the end, they coincidentally found about two hundred gold coins. It was estimated that some humans or dwarves came here to adventure in the past, and were then killed by the rats.
This time, Wang Jierui was very generous and gave it all directly to Li Wei.
Although theoretically even if the Nezumi couldn't use it, he could just give it to Kamo, but Levi had been standing here for a long time, and he didn't feel comfortable letting the other party go back empty-handed.
Levi was not polite either, he took the money with a clear conscience.
Then, in a small treasure chest, Wang Jieri found some confidential documents. After reading them, he couldn't help but frown, and then he looked as if he suddenly realized something.
Then he handed it to Levi.
After reading it, Levi realized that the rat people were not completely fooled by the Silver Blood Army.
Because there is no Underdark beneath these mountains, the ground is all solid and had to rely solely on the rats’ hard digging for years.
Without the Underdark, they would naturally lose a very important source of food.
Because the ratmen in other places, apart from a very small amount of planting and a small amount of hunting, most of their remaining food is obtained by stealing and robbing from races such as dwarves and humans through the Underdark.
But now their neighbors are either the Silver Blood Army or Khalida, who are all theoretically undead. Mummies and skeletons cannot feed the ratmen.
It is usually very difficult for them to obtain food. They often need to travel hundreds of miles and sneak to the beach to catch some fish, or steal some things from the human villages in the northeast. Therefore, the military strength of the Corrupt Clan was far less than it is now.
I have no idea why there was such a huge outbreak in such a short period of time. A few days ago, a large number of beastmen suddenly migrated, and then we were ambushed by them and took advantage of them.
Most of the experimental subjects below now come from this source.
Levi knew that this must be because of the call initiated by Mala, and as a result, all the beastmen in this direction fell into the hands of the Corrupted Clan.
But in recent days, we have gradually lost sight of the migrating beastmen. Seeing that they are about to return to their original hard days, the rat people naturally feel uncomfortable.
Even though they are short-sighted, as the leader of the Corrupted Clan here, they have the assistance of the Rat Prophet and other magic troops. Since this is a big issue concerning food, they are not that stupid.
This time, the rats also wanted to take advantage of the abundant food and rush out of this barren land to gain access to the wider space outside.
Even if there was no Khalida's expedition, they had originally planned to attack, but they might not join forces with the Silver Blood Army.
Due to pressure from Khalida, they and the Silver Blood Army are temporary allies, but not true close friends.
In the past, they had stolen each other's things, and when the vampires lacked skeletons and zombies, they would secretly hunt some ratmen.
Anyway, as long as the corpse is intact, they can use it, so they don't care too much.
The unexpected appearance of Kalida this time slightly disrupted the rat people's plans. When the Silver Blood Army proposed to join forces, the rat people agreed.
If Wang Jierui suddenly realized something, Levi was filled with emotion. These big rats really had bad luck.
If he hadn't appeared, Khalida might still be trapped in the Temple of Bones and bleeding, and their plan might have succeeded.
Those generals may be powerful, but they will never be able to launch a large-scale expedition in the absence of Khalida.
If we can reach the Peak of Resentment, with the strength that the rat people have shown before, there will be many ways to obtain food.
What a pity, just one or two days of effort is enough to change a lot of things.
Now that Khalida has returned, they will inevitably be defeated.
After returning the information to the other party, Wang Jierui handed it to He Mao and others, just to read a story.
But when he turned around and saw the remaining strangely transformed beastmen, as well as the blood, flesh and filth all over the ground, Wang Jieri hesitated a little.
He just looked at Levi tentatively: "Do you want me to burn them all in one fire?"
"Are you going to search again? In addition to the Corrupted Clan's own belongings, the other clan leaders, the Skaven Prophets, and the Storm Rats should all have some personal belongings, right?"
Wang Jerry waved his hand: "Hey, don't mention it. Those poor bastards will only hide food."
"The Rat Prophet may have something, but it will basically be kept in a space ring. Even if he dies, it will be difficult for us to really get it."
Things like space rings and space backpacks don't really create a small space out of thin air, but use magic to find an ownerless small space outside the main world.
The space ring is more like a key or password, used to open or link to that special space, and to prevent others from finding it again.
If it is an unbound space ring, it can be traded normally, but if its owner is a magician, they will basically choose to bind the ring to their own blood and spirit.
If the owner dies, it is basically like losing the key. It is extremely difficult to get that space back.
Therefore, in most cases, even if you kill an enemy hero or a chosen hero, you can only get a few items dropped by the opponent, but it is difficult to get everything in the space ring.
Of course, special forces such as the Church of Wealth are better at this, and there are still many differences.
Levi nodded: "Okay, in that case, let my subordinates set this crucial fire."
Wang Jerry subconsciously wanted to ask a question, because apart from those female hunters, he didn't see Levi bringing many subordinates with him.
But before he could open his mouth, as the ground shook slightly, a large number of troops arrived at full speed.
There are not only Levi's subordinates, but also more gods guards, cemetery knights and so on.
As for the leader, the one riding a special model of snake, wearing a golden mask, and holding a venomous snake spear, who else could it be but Khalida?
Wang Jerry suddenly realized that Khalida must have defeated the army of the Corrupt Clan!
Wang Tom and He Mao were also somewhat nervous, and subconsciously moved closer to Levi, even ready to escape at any time.
Because to be honest, so far, this transaction is still limited to them and Levi, and they cannot be sure whether Khalida will have the same attitude.
But the next moment, Khalida's performance made them look at Levi in ​​a different light again.
She just nodded slightly: "Levi, are they the chosen heroes of the Rat People who are willing to cooperate with us that you mentioned?"
"Don't worry, as long as you can really do this well, I will not only spare your humble lives, but also give you some rewards."
Although Kalida's tone was not very good, Wang Jieri and the others still breathed a sigh of relief.
Khalida was a legendary hero and one of the Tomb Kings known for keeping her promises. She would not deceive them, and now her life was finally saved.
"No problem, we'll lead the way!"
Wang Jieri whistled, and a ratman hero with a night-running rat suddenly appeared from nowhere and began to lead the way.
Levi chuckled and didn't feel any surprise.
The other party seemed to be under his control, but in fact he had some confidence. The reason why his emotions calmed down later was because he did not push the other party too much.
And this may not be the opponent's entire strength. These two brothers and sisters, the two chosen heroes of God, have monopolized this place for so long, how could they not have any trump cards?
But these are no longer important for the time being. The other party has decided to cooperate with him, and Khalida has also successfully reunited with him, so the other party can no longer make any waves.
He turned around and asked Sally, Sefa and others to set fire to the ratmen's nest and thoroughly clean up the filth here.
It has been quite some time since Sally broke through to level 6, so it would be better to help her break through to level 7 as soon as possible and then become a heroic unit.
Perhaps in terms of pure personal combat power, the 7th-level soldiers are better than almost all heroes below level 10. After transforming into a hero, Sally's strength may decrease rather than increase in a short period of time.
But the key point of heroes lies in their growth potential. Not to mention the opening of the level cap, they can also be equipped with more equipment, learn more skills, and may also command troops in battle, which are things that ordinary level 7 soldiers cannot do.
Speaking of which, Levi recently secretly asked Lilith that combat heroes like Elegy could also be transformed into campaign heroes and then command troops.
For mortals, this is an almost insurmountable abyss, but for the gods, it is a problem that can be easily solved by consuming a tiny bit of divine power.
Although it was not stated explicitly, for Lilith, this little thing was not worth mentioning specifically.
But Levi believed that after the matter of the Silver Blood Army was over, she would be in a good mood and would be able to generously help Wange solve this problem.
After a little probing, Elegy was also very surprised.
She has always been committed to competing with her best friend Donna, but because she is a combat hero, the competition has always been very unfair. If this situation can be changed, they can finally be on the same starting line, and the rest depends on their own efforts.
Unfortunately, Alduin, who is also a combat hero, is a lazy guy. He is not interested in commanding troops and only likes to fight on the front line.
But Levi has already decided that if Lilith can change Alduin as well, he will definitely arrange troops for the other party as soon as possible.
Whether he likes it or not, he must take on this responsibility!
Looking back, they saw thick smoke billowing in the cave, which looked like a miniature volcano for a moment. Wang Jerry and Wang Tom looked at each other, feeling somewhat emotional.
Although the time they spent here was not so happy, they were busy almost the whole day fighting wits and courage with those petty and malicious rat prophets and rat leaders.
But no matter what, they have been here for so many days, so they all felt a little lost for a while, and they were confused about the future.
Seeing this, Levi couldn't help but come over and ask them if they had a suitable place to go.
The answer was just as he expected: absolutely nothing.
Because the intelligent races in the main world have been multiplying for more than a thousand years, by now, any slightly better and habitable plain area is basically occupied by humans and other intelligent races.
The dwarves occupied the mountains and a large amount of minerals, the wood elves and others occupied the forests, and the lizardmen and Amazons occupied the rainforests.
Other small tribes such as halflings and dwarves basically form alliances with the above-mentioned races, or simply cling to them and survive in the cracks.
Those that were relatively worse were snatched away by the greenskins and ogres.
Special terrains such as volcanoes and oceans are often occupied by corresponding special races.
Only the most barren and harshest places will see races such as the undead and the ratmen.
As for the demons and beastmen, no one knows where in the world they are hiding, and they are chased and beaten by other races all day long.
Their status can also be roughly seen from the allocation of resources.
There is no way. Although there are frequent internal fights within the lawful camp due to differences in race, power and the gods they believe in, the lawful camp still has the upper hand in the main world.
As long as they don't encounter invasions from evil forces from other worlds such as demons and devils, it will basically be difficult for the greenskins and ratmen to stand a chance of turning things around.
In fact, this is also the purpose of most gods.
Except for a few evil gods like the Prince of Lies, Xirik, the belief in most gods can only develop better under a stable society.
So after Wang Jierui and the others left this place, they really had nowhere to go for a while.
Seeing this, Li Wei couldn't help but chuckle: "How about we go to Bafeng Mountain?"
Judging from the information Michaela has sent him recently, he probably doesn't have the energy to go to Bafeng Mountain for the time being.
Because the battle between the coalition forces of high elves, sea elves and winged elves, and the Shahuamin and pirates under the command of the Queen of the Sea has gradually become increasingly intense.
The God of Sea Elves is the leader of the Sea Dreamers, and due to past hatred, all the kind and lawful races such as the Loka, Triton, Seal, Wise Dolphins, Naga and Mermaid joined the battle and besieged the Shahuagin.
Recently, the Shahua fishmen have been in a serious disadvantage, and are beaten and surrounded almost wherever they go.
There is no way. Although they look and have personalities similar to sharks, they are actually far more ferocious than sharks in the sea and have almost no allies.
But the Queen of the Sea did not sit idly by. Intelligence indicated that the dark elves across the sea from the colony had been very restless recently.
They seem to have received some reinforcements and are interested in joining forces with the Sahuagin.
This is understandable. After all, if they just sit back and do nothing, after the coalition forces defeat the Shahua people, they may take the opportunity to give them a ruthless blow.
Therefore, the Dragon Prince, Michaela and others concluded that a big fight was likely to break out soon.
In this situation, Levi had to participate no matter what.
But in the treasure house of Bafeng Mountain, there is one of the Nine Volumes of Nagash that he is determined to obtain, so he has to prepare for it in advance .
Of course, he couldn't completely rely on the other party. This was just a casual move. It would be best if there was a result, but it didn't matter if there was nothing.
Because his focus was mainly on Chen Zhui, the last man, he had recently begun to move in that direction after Mala's plan failed.
Compared with Wang Jieri, Chen Zhui is undoubtedly much stronger in terms of friendship with Li Wei, personal strength, wisdom and experience.
Wang Jierui has always been staying around here, but Chen Zhui has traveled all over the country and has a lot of experience.
Wang Jierui's eyes suddenly lit up: "Are you also interested in the Bafeng Mountain Treasure House?"
Levi laughed and said, "Who in the main world is not interested in that place?"
The Eight Peaks Treasury is a treasure house sealed away during the most glorious heyday of the dwarves.
In addition to the large amount of precious materials and various sophisticated equipment that are bound to exist, there is also a great possibility that there are some special constructs - rune golems.
Think about it, Levi had just obtained some low- and mid-level rune equipment, which had been used by Elegy and others until now.
Every rune blacksmith is also regarded as a treasure in the dwarf's respective kingdom and clan.
If the whole body is covered with runes and made of precious and solid meteorite iron, how powerful can those rune golems be?
Legend has it that the most powerful Rune Golem is capable of easily cutting off a dragon's limbs in a head-on duel, or even defeating it in battle.
Although based on the dwarves' usual habit of bragging, there must be some truth to this.
But since they dare to brag like that, no matter how bad the Rune Golem is, it can't be too outrageous.
Levi felt that even if there was no level 7, there would definitely be levels 5 and 6.
Wang Jierui chuckled, and at this moment they found a common topic.
In fact, he had thought about this before, but the competition in Bafeng Mountain was too fierce.
Not only are there tens of thousands of troops from various parties, but there are also more than one legendary heroes from each race.
In particular, there is a ratman legend known as the "God of War of Eight Peaks Mountain" - the headhunter Quick.
Among the ratmen who generally prefer sneak attacks and all kinds of conspiracies, this Quick is undoubtedly an outlier among the outliers.
Because it highly values ​​​​one-on-one combat, and its record is quite brilliant.
Basically, in the area of ​​Eight Peaks Mountain, all the goblin generals, troll chieftains, greenskin warlords, etc. that had ever fought against it were killed by it.
According to known intelligence, its winning rate is 100% so far.
Of course, the ratmen’s one-on-one combat is slightly different from the cognition of humans or elves.
Quick usually tends to send out a large number of cannon fodder first to consume the target's physical strength, magic, etc., and then proceed to the decisive battle.
But despite this, as a rat man who can do this, it is definitely a special case among millions or even tens of millions of rats.
And although it became famous because of Bafeng Mountain, its achievements were not limited to there.
It has fought against ratmen, humans, beastmen, wood elves, etc. to varying degrees.
Due to the ratman's cunning nature and its powerful strength, it has not suffered any major losses so far.
In addition, the Moss clan, from which it was born, which is known as the fifth clan after the four major clans of the ratmen, is also a special case.
Because it is the only clan where members do not have to worry about conspiracies and assassinations from subordinates, colleagues or superiors all day long, the members of the clan are rare in their loyalty and unity.
Therefore, it also attracted the interest of quite a few of the Ratmen God-chosen heroes.
They had chosen the ratmen for various reasons before, but most of them were tired of the frequent infighting. The Moss clan and Quick would undoubtedly be a perfect match for them.
As for the other clan with less internal strife, it is the assassin clan - Clan Eshin.
Because those who can become the leader of the assassins will only be more proficient in assassination and various conspiracies and tricks. The strength of high-level ratman assassins must be stronger than that of low-level ones.
All the ratmen in their clan know this, so they will not easily put themselves in danger.
In short, in this situation, even if he really went, he would have to compete or fight with at least hundreds of God-chosen heroes, and he would have no advantage at all.
But now that Levi said this, there must be some special meaning. If I can get his help...
Seeing the other person's appearance, Levi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Wang Jieri, who had always behaved very recklessly before, was unexpectedly sharp at this moment.
The two sides looked at each other, and they both knew that the other side had something to ask for and they had something to need, so there was no nonsense, they just came together and whispered.
After a few minutes, they reached a result that was satisfactory to both parties.
For Wang Jerry, he not only obtained a place for stable supplies - the Black Iron Mine, but also had the possibility to obtain various types of Death Guards from Levi, which greatly enhanced their troops' ability to fight tough battles.
For Levi, if he wants to go to Bafeng Mountain in the future, he may have a new helper.
Moreover, the other party's use of his own Death Guard was also a disguised way of helping him with publicity.
Even though Khalida is currently very interested in the Death Guard, if she wants long-term development, she cannot rely entirely on her to pay the bill.
After settling this matter, Levi finally had time to ask Cindy, Wange and others what happened after he left.
Although Supervisor Yakong was constantly reporting the situation to him, it was usually just a few extremely short and concise sentences, which was definitely not as good as this face-to-face communication.
Then he found that there were not too many unexpected situations. It was just that at the last moment, several heroic ratmen, with their own guards and several giant nest rats that Wang Jerry had mentioned before, launched an attack on Khalida together.
Then they were all killed by Khalida in a clean and efficient manner.
Facts have proved that even though she may not be in her prime now, as a legendary hero, she is definitely not a threat that ordinary enemies can pose.
Speaking of this, Elegy's face was full of admiration.
Only a true warrior can see how honed the opponent's seemingly ordinary martial arts are.
However, those nest-fearing rats deserve extra attention.
Because they are at least level 5, and are huge in size and extremely powerful, a random charge can easily knock down large swaths of troops.
Whether it is Khalida's Jackal Guard or the Graveyard Knight, it is difficult to resist this attack.
As for the Silver Guards and celestial creatures under Levi, their performance was equally poor, or perhaps even worse.
The opponent's ability to break the formation is extremely strong. After all, it is a giant monster that is nearly ten meters long.
At the same time, they can also restore their lives by devouring corpses on the battlefield like ghouls, and their ability to continue fighting is also extremely strong.
Although its attack power and attack speed are relatively weaker, it may still be a little lacking for strong races such as high elves or humans.
But for the ratmen, they are definitely very powerful war beasts.
Together with the wolf rats, rat trolls, and those transformed beastmen, they all believed that even if the ratmen here were wiped out, the ratmen would probably not stop easily.
After all, this is just an important stronghold of the Corrupted Clan, but not the only one.
They have already mastered the relevant technology and information. As long as they have sufficient resources and spend a certain amount of time, they are entirely likely to build new ones in other places.
