There was no response, and no Calamity Beast dared to respond.
One after another, the Calamity Beast lowered their heads, cursing the guy who killed the Black Rat in their hearts.
At the same time, I felt fear in my heart.
"So," Black Rat looked at the scene before him, his tone cold and menacing, and asked, "Does anyone know who did this today?"
"..."
"We found it near the bottom of the mine. Has anyone seen that guy head down there?"
"..."
"It's around mid-afternoon, you guys..."
"..."
Still no response; the Calamity Beast hung their heads.
I didn't ask any more questions.
Black Rat Broken Tooth stared coldly at those guys.
It wasn't surprised that these creatures didn't answer; it simply stared at them coldly, trying to find out if any of them were behaving strangely.
But unfortunately...
Nothing was seen except for fear and silence.
No, there must be some guys cheering in their hearts, but they just didn't show it, so it didn't see it.
"Oh..."
Black Rat with Broken Tooth suddenly laughed.
But this did not bring warmth to any of the Calamity Beast; instead, it instilled even greater fear in them.
They lowered their heads even further, one by one.
"Lord Broken Tooth, why don't we just kill all these guys? Anyway, they shouldn't even exist in the first place!" A Third Tier Black Rat suddenly suggested from the side.
Upon hearing this, the Calamity Beast below trembled, wanting to say something, but fearing being targeted for this reason, it could only wait.
only...
Silence, no response.
The situation was the same as before, except this time, it was the leader of the Black Rat who remained silent.
Many of the Calamity Beast felt a chill in their hearts.
Some of the bolder ones even cautiously glanced up.
All that came into view were those figures with heavy gazes watching them.
The leader of the Black Rat has actually started to seriously consider this matter!
One by one, the Black Rat withdrew their gaze and waited anxiously.
Some even began looking outside, wondering if another riot was possible.
pity...
After discovering that some of their tribesmen had gone down and never returned, and eventually died.
Those Black Rat have already gone back to fetch the rest of the Black Rat.
Right now, there are almost as many Black Rat here as they are!
In this situation, if someone were solely focused on causing a riot, it would be fine, but in the current situation...
Unfortunately, they abandoned the idea.
Then, we waited.
finally.
A cold but deep voice came through.
"Keep them together for now, don't let them mix with other Calamity Beast..."
night.
A campfire was burning nearby.
Several Black Rat gathered in the spacious hall, their faces somber.
Feixu was also located in one of those positions.
During the previous riot, the tribesmen who stayed behind at the temple were killed; and now this has happened again.
Without a doubt, there are definitely some restless creatures still hiding among the beasts.
Even considering the riots and the deaths of their people at the temple.
The guy hiding among the beasts now is very likely the real culprit behind the last riot.
After all, when all the Calamity Beast involved in the last riot were thinking of running away, suddenly one of them didn't run away, but instead ran to the temple...
No matter how you look at it, that guy is definitely not simple!
The problem is...
"What do we do now? Should we just kill them all?!" a Black Rat with a scar on its face suddenly said.
"Ha! That's a good idea. I told you before, these guys are useless and will only harm us! Look, we've never heard of those guys ever rioting before, but look at this, two riots have happened in such a short time, how many of our people have died?!" Another Black Rat immediately chimed in.
"Yes, that's right!"
"That is..."
Voices of agreement rang out.
But before it could reach its climax, it was coldly interrupted by the leader of the Black Rat.
"Kill them all?!"
Black Rat, with its One-Eye, coldly glanced at the few who had agreed.
"Who will be killed to mine? Will you go mine?"
The Black Rat choked and didn't respond.
"But... we can catch more! New ones, uncontaminated, the chances of a riot are much smaller!" The Scar Black Rat said stubbornly, and the more he spoke, the more reasonable he felt he was making his point.
"Who told you it would be small? Didn't the Calamity Beast below never riot before? They still happened suddenly, didn't they?" another Black Rat suddenly said.
"Hmm, and it'll take quite a while to catch so many of them. What are we going to do with that time? If we don't kill them, how can we dare to go out and catch more? But if we kill them, what will we do during this time?" another Black Rat chimed in.
Even the Scar mouse was taken aback, but racked its brains and came up with another method.
"Well... at worst, we can just have our own people dig it up. That way, there definitely won't be a riot!"
Many of the Black Rat were taken aback, and some of them became tempted.
This method does seem feasible; their own people certainly won't rebel, and they don't need to dig...
only...
"What, are you going to treat our own people the same way you treat those guys?!" a questioning voice rang out, and the Black Rat with Feixu looked at them coldly.
There was no response; the Black Rat remained silent.
"If we don't treat them that way, even if we really let them mine, the amount of ore mined will definitely be greatly reduced. Moreover, they won't have time to cultivate. What will happen to the future of our clan?" Black Rat Feixu continued.
There was still no response; silence prevailed.
"What are we going to do? Just leave them like this?" Scarface Rat said angrily.
This time, Feixu remained silent.
The Black Rat remained silent.
Until,
"How about we go to the temple to pray?" a Black Rat suggested.
Upon hearing this, the other Black Rat were slightly taken aback.
Why... does this feel... somewhat familiar?
Black Rat Feixu was also taken aback.
Before it could react, a response rang out.
"Okay, that's settled then!"
Black Rat Feixu immediately turned his head, "No way! The riot a couple of days ago killed a bunch of our people. If they come again now, who knows how many more we'll have to offer up!"
"Aren't there others?" Black Rat Broken Tooth said coldly.
"The others...?" Feixu, somewhat taken aback.
"Yes, didn't you just say," Black Rat Broken Tooth looked over, "Did a batch die?"
Feixu was taken aback, but did not respond.
That... is indeed the case, but taking the clansmen away like this...
It stared at the Broken Tooth, at those scarlet eyes.
Violence, bloodshed, rage...
It thought of the injured and killed Black Rat...
