Chapter 1028 The mark of shame
Ye Zi came to the east area of the Blood Skull Arena, a large bathhouse specially designed to serve the rat militia.
Contrary to what the Holy Light people slander, the high orcs are actually very clean.
Clan warriors, if possible, would bathe every day and smear their entire bodies with fragrant ointment to cover up their strong animalistic scent.
They believe that cleaning away filth can also purify the soul, and a graceful and radiant warrior can better demonstrate the glory of the ancestors.
And if you pour the secret medicine from the ancient formula into nearly boiling hot water, or take a steam bath by pressurizing and spraying it through the pipeline, the spiritual energy contained in the secret medicine can quickly penetrate into the body and infiltrate.
Soul is the only way to recover quickly after crazy training and fighting.
Ye Zi belongs to Ice Storm, and Ice Storm is one of the four aces in the Blood Skull Arena. Therefore, he also has the privilege of bathing.
Those who are qualified to enter and exit this large bathhouse are either the servants of the Four Aces or the handyman supervisors who have served in the Blood Skull Arena for seven, eight or even more than ten years. They are the most well-informed and can be called the news center in the arena.
.
"leaf!"
Sure enough, as soon as the rat boy stepped into the big bathhouse, before he could find an acquaintance in the steaming white mist, he heard affectionate shouts.
The old hunter "Spider", who also belonged to the same servant team, pulled him into a pool with rippling blue waves.
Those soaked here are all members of the Ice Storm team.
Moreover, they were all the first batch of members hand-picked by Meng Chao.
After several rounds of fierce battles, they formed a deep friendship with each other, and Meng Chao taught them incredible fighting skills, which made them feel different from others. The unity in the small circle was much stronger than that of other servant teams.
As the youngest but most powerful member of the team, Ye Zi naturally receives special treatment.
The world of advanced orcs is like this. No matter how big or small, the strong are respected. Whoever has a bigger fist will be more popular.
"Ye Ye, the reaper finally found out his conscience, is he willing to let you go?"
Everyone smiled and greeted the rat boy.
"Who said that?"
Ye Zi held his head high and said proudly, "Obviously it was me who completed today's training ahead of schedule!"
"Yeah?"
Including the spiders, many of the rat servants clicked their tongues.
They had also watched Meng Chao's preparation of Ye Zi, and they were all frightened by the exaggerated training volume and terrifying training content.
Many people were originally very envious of Ye Zi's rapid progress, thinking that if they could get Meng Chao's step-by-step guidance, they might progress faster than Ye Zi.
Until Meng Chao kindly invited them to take an experience class, they all backed down, realizing that there are differences in human physiques and cannot be generalized. If they had practiced like Ye Zi, they would have been exhausted long ago.
Used to make skeleton soldiers, they are too thin.
"What a monster!" Everyone exclaimed.
I don’t know whether I’m talking about Ye Zi who completed the training mission, or Meng Chao who figured out such a perverted training mission.
"Stop talking so much, Uncle Spider, is there any news about the Horned Rat God outside in the past two days?"
Ye Zi couldn't wait to ask, "I've been training day and night, and I don't even know what time it is today or what's going on in the city!"
"Of course there is. The past few days in Noire City have been absolutely wonderful!"
At the mention of the Great Horned Rat God, all the rat servants became energetic.
They lowered their voices slightly, not to keep secrets, but to speak in this tone to appear more mysterious and attractive.
"Did you know that the Great Horned Rat God may really be coming? A few days ago, overnight, the streets and alleys of Noire City were covered with runes representing the Great Horned Rat God!" Spider
Said with joy.
"What?"
Ye Zi stood up from the water excitedly, "What do the runes of the Horned Rat God look like?"
"It's just a huge spiral with three huge sharp horns on it, and a long tail trailing below, with a triangle at the end."
Spider said, "The major families in Black Horn City have never had such emblems. It is impossible for them to paint the whole city with such runes overnight. Everyone has speculated that this is the coming of the Great Horned Rat God."
A sign of arrival!"
"Really, really?"
It's not that Ye Zi doesn't believe in spiders, he's just annoyed that he was detained in the training camp by the reapers and couldn't see the runes of the legendary Rat God with his own eyes. It's a real pity.
"Of course it's true. Not only are they everywhere in the streets and alleys and among the ruins, they are even painted on the doorsteps of the houses of major families."
Spider continued, "Many people say that this is the mark made by the Great Horned Rat God. Anyone with runes on the door is the family that treats the rat people the most harshly in Black Horn City. When the Rat God comes, he will definitely summon the bear.
The angry flames burned these families to ashes to avenge the rat people who died tragically in their hands!
"No one knows whether the runes of the Rat God really represent revenge.
"However, on the second day after the Rat God's runes appeared everywhere in the city, a very strange fire broke out in several warehouses next to the foundry area, and a hundred thousand arrows were used to make feather arrows.
The pole was burned to char, and the centaur warriors who were good at shooting felt extremely distressed. This is a true fact.
"Also, on the same day as the fire in the warehouse, the wine cellar of the 'Dead Dwarf's Head' tavern was poisoned. After many clan warriors drank the strong wine there, they all suffered from vomiting and diarrhea. The most serious ones even had seven orifices.
It’s bleeding, it’s almost like I didn’t lose my life!”
"Who really dares to set fire and poison?"
Ye Zi felt incredible.
It's one thing to believe in the Horned Rat God.
After all, it is impossible for high-level orcs to ban the belief in ancestral spirits.
Before being exiled, the Rat Man was also a member of the clan warriors. It is quite reasonable for a hero to emerge who is willing to face death.
But setting fires and poisoning in the name of the horned rat god is another matter.
This means that the believers of the Great Horned Rat God have launched an all-out war against all the warriors of the five major clans!
For no reason, Ye Zi thought of the battle cry from the Reaper:
"The black night sky has collapsed, and the golden dawn is bound to come"!
The rat boy was so nervous and excited that he almost peed in the pool.
"Why, does this feel incredible?"
Spider looked at Ye Zi's expression, smiled "hehe", came closer, and said mysteriously, "Then if you know that the messenger of the Great Horned Rat God has successively attacked dozens of clan warriors in Black Corner City, you
Aren’t you going to jump up in shock?”
"What!"
Ye Zi really jumped up, widened his eyes, and stammered, "Uncle Spider, you, what did you say, how is this possible? Don't lie to me, how is this possible?"
"Who knows how the power of the Great Horned Rat God can punish those clan warriors who have done all kinds of evil?"
Spider shrugged and said, "Anyway, when these guys were participating in the 'Game of the Brave', they were attacked inexplicably. Most of them didn't even see the attacker's face clearly and fell into a coma. When they woke up,
At that time, all the food and secret medicine that I carried with me were completely taken away, and even the totem armor had several of its most critical parts taken away!"
"etc--"
Ye Zi said suspiciously, "Since these clan warriors are all participating in the 'Game of the Brave,' it is normal for them to be attacked and sneak attack others. Uncle Spider also said that they did not see the appearance of the attacker clearly.
Why do you think the attacker is the messenger of the Great Horned Rat God?"
"because--"
The spider paused for a moment, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face, as if the scene he was about to describe next would make every rat citizen with a heart gloat from the bottom of his heart, "These poor clan warriors,
Not only was it looted, but someone also used a very sharp knife to draw the runes of the Rat God on his forehead!"
"ah?"
Ye Zi's expression suddenly became very strange.
The rat boy with a very rich imagination had this scene before his eyes:
A clan warrior who was more than five arms tall and as majestic as a copper wall was lying deep in the alley with his arms stretched out and foaming at the mouth.
When he finally woke up from the nightmare, he felt a slight sting on his forehead and his eyes were stained red with blood.
High-level orcs with rough skin and thick flesh will not take a few skin injuries seriously.
However, when he staggered onto the street, all the clan warriors who saw him were stunned as if they had seen the holy light ascetics descending from the sky.
Each person's big eyeballs, which are about to pop out of their sockets, are imprinted with a blood-drenched, toothy and clawed rat god rune.
That's the mark of revenge.
It is also a sign of shame.
Thinking of this, Ye Zi couldn't help but laugh out loud.
High orcs value honor the most and despise ratfolk and ratmen the most.
Now, the superior clan warrior has a mark symbolizing the rat people on his forehead.
This is simply more uncomfortable than killing them with one knife.
"Dozens of clan warriors in a row have the same runes carved on their foreheads?"
Ye Zi suppressed his laughter and turned red in the face, "Senior warriors, are you not prepared at all?"
"Of course they are prepared. After three or five clan warriors were attacked in a row, most of the clan warriors were prepared. They even set traps to try to round up the daring and crazy attackers."
Spider said vividly, "It's a pity that despite being chased by hundreds of clan warriors, the envoy of the Great Horned Rat God escaped.
"Not only did they fail to catch even a hair of the envoy, they also suffered a new humiliation - the three lone pursuers were knocked unconscious, stripped naked, and carved on their foreheads by the envoy almost under the eyes of others.
Marked.
