Chapter 633 The open and secret struggle of the underground races
ps: (Thanks to abccd5432 friends for their rewards! Today's first update is delivered!)
"But after all, it is our affiliated race. It is always bad for them to die too much in civil war. After all, a lot of the food we marten people usually eat is grown by the rat race." After that, Yibu blocked the escaped rat race and said loudly: "I am Yibu, the eldest elder of the marten people. Why did you fight by yourself?"
When those Rat Humans saw the chief elder of the Sable Humans appear, they immediately cried and surrounded him and said loudly: "Elder Yibu, you have to take the Rat Humans for us! Gu Ming wants to take the Rat Humans to join the Dragon Humans. Many of us who disagree with him have been killed by him."
"What? Gu Ming actually did such a thing?" Yi Bu was shocked when he heard this.
"What's going on? Who is Gu Ming?" Jiang Chen saw Yibu's expression change drastically, and knew that the matter he encountered was not that simple.
"Gu Ming is the patriarch of the Rat Human Clan. Unexpectedly, he actually wanted to take the Rat Human Clan to the Dragon Human Clan. It seems that the Dragon Human Clan must have put a lot of pressure on him!" Yibu said with a drastic change in his expression.
"Dragon Man?" Jiang Chen was slightly surprised after hearing this.
"Although there are thousands of races in our underground world, and the total number of people is more than you humans, many races are not strong. There are only more than ten races with masters in the Nascent Soul Stage, and the most powerful are the Dragon Man, the Lizard Man and our Miscent Soul Stage. The Dragon Man can be said to be the most powerful race in the underground world. Although we Miscent and Lizard Man have many masters in the late stage of Nascent Soul Stage, most of the people are still on the first level, with only the strength from the Qi Refining Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage. But the Dragon Man is different. The worst of their strength is the Golden Pill stage. Although they have the least total number of people, the number of masters in the Nascent Soul Stage is the largest, so the Dragon Man clan accounts for 40% of the people in the Elders' Courtyard."
"They are very dissatisfied with staying underground and have always asked to fight out and occupy the world on the ground. However, we, the mink and the lizard tribe, know that the strength of the humans and the demon tribe in the ground world is no worse than that of the underground world. Moreover, many races in the underground world are not used to the sunshine on the ground. The strength will be greatly reduced after going out. At that time, everyone will suffer heavy losses. But the Dragon tribe will take advantage of it." Yibu said.
"Don't the Dragon Humans know about these situations?" Jiang Chen asked in surprise.
"How come they don't know? But have you heard that the Dragon Man tribe is afraid of the sun?" Yibu smiled bitterly. "They have always lived underground because they were defeated in the war with humans 30,000 years ago and were forced to make a vow to not fight with humans within 30,000 years. Now the time has come, and they want to fight with humans again. However, they know that the thousands of dragon men from the Dragon Man tribe alone can not defeat humans and demons, so they want to bring the races in the entire underground world as cannon fodder. How do you say we agree?"
"So, when they saw that they could not convince us and the Lizards, they put their minds on winning over other races. They themselves occupy 40% of the seats in the Elders' House, and our minks and Lizards have another 40% of the seats. If they win over other races, they can get more than half of the seats in the Elders' House and pass the resolution to start a war against humans in the ground world."
"In order to delay their actions, we proposed a plan to win over the demon race, attack the human race as pawns, and avoid the loss of races in the underground world. They also agreed at the time. Unexpectedly, they still secretly attacked, and now they even reached their hands to the branch affiliated races of our mink race." Yibu said angrily.
Jiang Chen didn't expect that he accidentally found out the reason why the demon clans frequently launched attacks on humans in Liangzhou. It seems that if there was no support from the races in the underground world, the demon clan would not dare to launch such a large-scale attack. If the conspiracy of the Dragon Man clan succeeded, the races in the underground world would break out of the ground. The mainland of China would suffer an unprecedented catastrophe.
Just as they were talking, the pursuers of the Rat Man leader arrived behind him. Seeing that the masters of the Diao Man were also there, a Rat Man leader stepped forward and bowed, and then said politely: "Dear Diao Man, this is the internal dispute between my Rat Man. According to the rules of the Elders' House, although you are our Sect Master, you cannot interfere with the internal affairs of our Rat Man."
When Yibu heard this, he was furious and rushed to the crown. When his powerful aura at the late stage of the Nascent Soul level was cast, all the rats collapsed to the ground, and even the captain was so scared that he sat on the ground. After a while, he struggled and said, "Rat... Lord Rat, you can come to our first level with such powerful strength. I guess you must have a special pass token. The every move of the person holding the special pass token in the underground world is under the surveillance of the Elders' House. Please do not do anything that violates the regulations."
After hearing this, Yibu sneered, but took back the oppressive breath. He also knew that there was a special rune array on the special pass token that could record the holder's actions. The Elders' House was very cautious about issuing each special pass token. If the holder violated the regulations, it would be reclaimed and could not apply for it within a hundred years. If he interfered with the internal affairs of the Rat Human race, he would be trapped on the eighth floor for a hundred years and could not go out.
"Take them all away!" The Rat Captain shouted at this time, and the rat soldiers behind him rushed up and prepared to tie up the escaped rat men and grab them back.
Yibu saw it and felt helpless in his heart. He knew that even the rat human race would turn to the Dragon human race, and then there were countless neutral races who would lean over. I was afraid that the next meeting in the Elders' Courtyard, even if the Lizard and the Sable Human race joined forces, they would not be able to stop the Dragon Human race's resolution.
"By the way, Senior Yibu, I am not from the underground world, so there should be no problem for me to take action, right?" Jiang Chen asked when he saw the anxiety in Yibu's heart.
Yibu's eyes lit up and he said happily: "Yes! You are a human in the ground world, and it is not considered as a violation of the regulations. But... if you do this, you will offend them, and the Dragons may attack you!"
"What are you afraid of? Don't they just want to go to war with humans anyway? I just let them understand: humans are not so easy to bully. They were defeated by humans 30,000 years ago. They will also be defeated by humans in 30,000 years later!" At this point, Jiang Chen suddenly became very proud.
He immediately pulled out the Soul-Devouring Sword. With a fierce force, he saw a golden sword aura flying straight towards the group of rat soldiers. He heard the sound of "Puchi" and "Puchi", and the rat soldiers suddenly broke into two pieces and fell down.
"Ah! You human also took action?" The Captain of the Rat Man was shocked. He had actually seen Jiang Chen a long time ago, but in his opinion, this human must be Yibu's slave. So, he didn't pay much attention.
"Sir Diao Ren, this human is your slave. According to the rules of the underground world, slaves will act as masters. Do you still want to interfere in the internal affairs of our Rat Man?" asked Zhan Zhan Hehe.
"Who said I was his slave? I was just his friend, and I came to help him study the pill recipe." Jiang Chen said with a smile. After he said that, a cold light flashed in his eyes. The Captain Rat Man felt a powerful force attacking and sat down to the ground.
"Run! This human monk is definitely not something we can resist!" The Captain Ratman immediately ran away in fear.
The rats who survived the disaster recovered and hurriedly thanked Jiang Chen and Yibu. Yibu and Jiang Chen asked them about it. They finally figured out the whole story.
It turns out that since the Rat Human race is the lowest in the underground world, even the patriarch Gu Ming is only in the Golden Pill stage and can only live on the fifth floor of the underground world. Therefore, this race has to make a living by growing food, and is also at the lowest level of the food chain in the underground world.
Later, in order to protect themselves, the rat race found the mink race, one of the three major races in the underground world, as their backings. They became the subordinate race of the mink race. The reason why they chose the mink race as their backings was because the two races were relatively close in appearance, and from a bloodline, they felt more intimate.
Although the rat human race is very weak, they have a large population. They are the largest race in the underground world, and their ability to grow food is even more outstanding. The major races in the underground world eat more than 80% of the food they eat.
Among the three powerful races in the underground world, the mink and lizards also grow food themselves, while the dragons feed on monsters in lava, so the rats are very important for a large number of medium races other than the three powerful races. In the Elders' House, more than a dozen medium races who do not belong to the three major races basically make a living by the food produced by the rats.
Therefore, the Dragon Man race also took this interest. They also calculated that if they directly win over those medium-sized races with seats in the Elders' House, even if they can win over, the price they paid is definitely not small, and it is more likely to arouse the vigilance of the Lizard and the Sable Man race and cause trouble for their win over. But if they control the Rat Man race first, it is equivalent to controlling the survival of these dozen races.
After all, these races have to rely on the food of the rat human race for a living. At that time, the Nascent Soul masters of these more than a dozen races will have to give in to the survival of the race. In this way, the dragon human race will spend the smallest price to achieve the greatest benefits.
Of course, these analyses are definitely not the original words of Rat Man, but were analyzed by Jiang Chen and Yibu from their words.
After hearing this, Yibu took a breath of air. If the Dragon Humans' conspiracy really succeeded, I am afraid that even the Lizard and the Sable Humans will be led by the Dragon Humans.
"How many of your first-level rat human tribes have turned to the dragon human tribe?" Yibu asked hurriedly.
"It's less than one-fifth, but these one-fifth tribes have improved a lot in three months. Just like what you just saw, although we have a lot more people than them, we still can't beat them. That's why we were defeated. It's probably half of the tribes they control now." A rat man with a relatively smart mind replied hurriedly.
"Oh? Then you take us to see. Since we have passed by, we can't stand by and watch. We have to help you!" Jiang Chen said immediately.
