Chapter 32, Digging for Mastery

The fixed talent of the ratman is digging mastery, a useful but not so good talent. If it is plague resistance, it would be a big prize.

After all, among the ratmen, a recognized weak race, the most famous school is the plague ratman.

It's a pity, but it's not useless.

Moreover, this fortune card also brought Du Yuan a divine eye, which is the illusory eye suspended on the stone pillar of Du Yuan's altar.

Du Yuan doesn't know the specific function yet. When Du Yuan wanted to send his mental power into it, he was rejected. However, every divine eye is a rare thing. Every book of miscellaneous talks about divine eyes, and they are highly praised.

As far as I can remember, there has been no useless ability. Maybe it has appeared but it has not been recorded.

But it's not a big problem. Since he chose his own altar, Du Yuan has a way to convince this divine eye. When the time comes, we will know the effect.

But there are also disadvantages.

This fortune card plus the divine eye must be implicated. It is best not to leave the academy during this period.

I don't know what's involved behind the scenes, and who will be thinking about it, but no matter what, it should be safe in the academy. After all, the dean is the only one of the two medium-level gods in Yuanwang City. Although he is weaker than the city lord of the war priesthood, no one dares to make trouble in the academy.

Let's stay alive, Du Yuan made such a decision.

He lived in seclusion again.

In the clan world, during this period of time, the rat people's development of the forest was very smooth.

The large forest near the mountains has been taken under control, but what makes people angry is that most of the resources in the forest were destroyed or taken away when the lizard people left.

The streams were dug and blocked, the demonized animals were driven away or hunted, the water sources were polluted, the useful demon plants were taken away, and if the tall trees were difficult to move, they were set on fire.

Only a barren, empty and messy forest was left for the rat people, but fortunately, the rat people did not have much demand for various materials, even extraordinary plants, and even medical care.

If a ratman is injured and difficult to recover from, affecting his combat effectiveness, then being thrown into the blood lake is basically the most standard answer.

There is no need to treat illnesses or recuperate, and the need for potions is replaced by blood mushrooms, so the impact is not great, but it is quite annoying.

And even if things on the ground can be taken away and destroyed, some fixed mineral veins cannot be destroyed or taken away.

The ratman found a copper mine in the forest, and when the ratman was digging in the mountains, he found an iron mine in the mountains.

It's just a pity that although the mineral veins were found, the ratman simply did not have the ability to smelt metals. However, under Du Yuan's oracle, the ratmen still vacated some caves to store these ores.

Du Yuan looked at the various ores that began to slowly accumulate in the caves in the mountains and nodded with satisfaction.

If there is a chance in the future, the start of the ratman's metal smelting should be smooth with these ores.

However, Du Yuan's oracle actually brought some negative effects.

At least Bai Shu had a headache after knowing the oracle.

Because other major projects were under construction at the same time, whether it was the excavation of the fortress at the entrance of the mountain, the construction of the underground tunnel, the construction of the mushroom house, and the most important temple that Bai Shu cared about the most.

Not long ago, the rat warriors found the original camp of the lizardmen. Perhaps because they left in a hurry, there were still a lot of infrastructure left inside that had not been destroyed, especially the temple of the heretic god.

Bai Shu came from the mountain specifically and took a good look at the temple of the heretic god.

To be honest, it was just a big house made of logs, and at most there were some rough statues inside. Although Li Sheng entered the clan world earlier than Du Yuan.

But it has not yet developed to the point where the clan can overhaul the temple. Even if Du Yuan saw Li Sheng’s abandoned temple, he didn’t feel anything else.

He even sneered at Li Sheng, saying that he had so little under his command and he still built a temple.

But the white rat didn't think much about it. After seeing this big wooden house, he immediately thought of the semi-open simple altar of his god.

Well, Du Yuan did have only an altar, and even the altar was quite simple and quaint, just a stone pillar with some stones piled underneath. If you insist on calling it a temple, the underground cave where the stone pillar is placed should be considered one.

So, the devout white rat immediately decided to build a huge, luxurious, and beautiful temple to dedicate to his god.

Until Du Yuan gave the oracle.

After a large number of slave rats were transferred to mine the veins, there was a large population gap among the ratmen. In order to solve this problem.

More female ratmen were thrown by the white rats to mate and produce.

The ratmen became more and more numerous.

But once the ratmen became more numerous, the barren and empty forest became a big problem. After all, there were almost no enemies in the empty forest except the ubiquitous goblins.

However, the selection of rat warriors and slave rats needs to be determined through fighting.

In addition, the sacrifices began to decrease, and the production of blood mushrooms also began to decrease.

In order to deal with these things and to offer gifts to the gods, the first chief meeting in the history of the rats was held.

The white rat summoned Good Eyes, Long Tail, and a new leader of slave rat priests, Long Claws.

The four rats gathered in front of the altar and began to discuss countermeasures.

But in fact, it was more about the white rat giving orders and dispatching.

Good Eyes was sent to lead the rat warriors to start looking for objects suitable for blood sacrifice in the forest.

Long Tail was asked to provide food and then take care of the logistics for Good Eyes.

Long Claws had no other requirements, just to complete the content of the oracle and dig more ore.

The white rat sat at the location of the altar and began to organize the expansion of the altar.

In this way, a simple meeting was settled.

However, the follow-up gave these rat leaders a headache.

Under the strict order of White Rat, Good Eyes led his rat warriors and those young rats who had not passed the trial to start running around in the vast forest without any clue.

In addition to growing mushrooms, Long Tail also had the burden of transporting mushrooms, and began to run back and forth between the mountains and the depths of the forest.

Only Long Claws was a little easier. As a priest who appeared among the slave rats, he was also a survivor of the Lizardman War, and he also ate the first wave of bonuses brought by the talent of the God of Fortune card.

Although Digging Mastery has become a fixed talent of this rat under Du Yuan, White Rat, Good Eyes, and Long Tail obviously will not dig holes.

But Long Claws will. With the emergence of Digging Mastery, he has a kind of sensitivity to digging caves. The caves he commanded to dig are not only fast, but also have not collapsed.

Naturally, he was picked up by Bai Shu and was responsible for mining and collecting ore.

He was ecstatic at the time, and during this period he was conscientiously concentrating on mining, which made Bai Shu feel at ease and also freed up Bai Shu's energy to repair the temple.

However, it is hard to say whether he can really make Bai Shu feel at ease.
