Chapter 168: The Misty Mountain Range
Ti passed bit by bit.
No one knew how much ti had gone by before the room finally quieted down.
On the bed in the room, Vanessa lay lazily in Ammon’s embrace.
Li ng gently held Vanessa's slender waist.
The two quietly felt each other's warmth.
"Vanessa, do you know about the Ratn Tribe?"
Vanessa snuggled into Li ng's arms, finding a comfortable position.
"Yes, they are a cave-dwelling savage tribe that lives underground. Their favorite thing to do is digging tunnels. It’s said that the Ratn Tribe's underground caverns spread across the entire continent, even reaching deep under the sea."
Li ng had originally thought the disappearance of the Ratn Tribe was related to the Dark Elves.
But now it seed he was overthinking it.
If the Dark Elves had a close relationship with the Ratn Tribe, Vanessa wouldn’t have described them this way.
From Vanessa’s explanation, it was clear she didn’t know much about the Ratn Tribe either.
"What kind of tribe are they?"
What kind of tribe?
Vanessa pondered for a mont.
After a while, Vanessa's voice echoed in the room.
"A savage tribe with the strongest desire for food. When they’re hungry, they invade the surface, targeting other races with specific goals. Wherever they go, they eat everything that can be eaten."
Eat everything that can be eaten?
A trace of doubt flashed in Li ng's eyes, and he looked pensive.
The Ratn Tribe he had seen in Goblin Forest wasn’t like that at all.
"Vanessa, do the Ratn have habits of herding livestock? For example, eliminating powerful magical beasts in the forest, leaving only non-predatory ones, selectively hunting so creatures to maintain population balance?"
"No, I don’t think so. The Ratn Tribe wouldn’t do such a thing. When they invade the surface on a large scale but don’t find enough food, they even gnaw plants down to the roots."
Hearing Vanessa say this, Li ng realized sothing.
What the Ratn Tribe did in Goblin Forest was shockingly similar to his own thods.
The only difference was that he hadn’t intentionally hunted powerful magical beasts.
"Ammon, why did you suddenly ask about the Ratn Tribe?"
Li ng grinned and shook his head lightly.
"Nothing, I was just curious about this tribe."
Ti continued to pass, and the night deepened.
As the full moon hung high in the sky, the Throne Tribe also gradually quieted down.
That night was peaceful.
---
The next morning, the Throne Tribe was bustling with activity.
Goblin leaders and their underlings left through the various gates of the Throne Tribe.
The dark, dense columns of marching goblins ford long lines.
The goblins joked and played as they walked.
Only when their bosses shouted reprimands did they obediently follow the formations.
------
To the west of Goblin Forest lay a range of mountains.
This range was called the Misty Mountain Range.
To any tribe near the Misty Mountain Range, it was an extrely mysterious existence.
People who wandered into it often disappeared mysteriously.
Those who went looking for them would also vanish without a trace.
Over ti, the Misty Mountain Range beca a feared land of death.
Deep within the Misty Mountain Range, there was a place surrounded by dense fog.
Within the fog lay a massive valley.
In the center of the valley was a gigantic rift.
Within that rift stood a colossal black castle.
The castle occasionally emanated green light.
"Mirror, mirror…"
Suddenly, a deep voice echoed in the upper levels of the castle.
It sounded like an incantation, bubbling and gurgling.
At this mont, in a room in the upper levels of the castle…
A hunched figure stood before a massive black mirror.
The black mirror seed to possess a magical power.
Just looking at it made it impossible to look away.
"Stop calling ! Can you filthy, stinking rats stop bothering every day?!"
A rough voice suddenly cursed from within the black mirror.
"You flea-ridden rats should go worship your Rat God or sothing. Isn’t it supposed to be almighty?"
"Speak quickly. Once you ask your question, don’t bother for the next year. Otherwise, I’ll curse you mangy rodents."
"If you must bother , you’ll need to pay triple."
Faced with the mirror’s vulgar words, the Ratman in front of it was already accustod to this.
It bowed respectfully to the mirror.
"And another thing—I don’t want your Rat God’s Dinsion Crystals anymore. I’m sick of them!"
The Ratman grinned, pulling a crystal with a faint blue glow from its robes.
"A Water Elent King Crystal? Heh, at least you flea bags have so sincerity this ti."
The Ratman carefully tossed the blue crystal towards the black mirror.
As the crystal touched the mirror's surface, ripples spread across it.
The Water Elent King Crystal sank into the mirror.
"Great Mirror God, can you tell who caused the Ratn Tribe’s eastern expedition to fail?"
"Heh, Skaven, why are you so foolish today? You asked a pointless question. But fine, seeing that you brought the Water Elent King Crystal, I’ll rcifully explain a little more. There’s sothing in Goblin Forest I don’t know. Whether or not the Ratn Tribe can succeed in their eastern expedition, I also don’t know, because Goblin Forest contains a Power God on par with . Our powers interfere with each other, and our destinies are intertwined. Therefore, I cannot foresee matters connected to it."
"Alright, you can scram now. I’m tired and need to sleep for a few years. You rats better keep quiet for a while. The human world in the southern continent has already beco a ss. I don’t know which Power God caused such chaos, but its influence is vast. Heh, Skaven, if your goal is the human world, you might as well take advantage of the chaos. But I can’t guarantee you’ll have a good ending. Good luck! I’m out."
Before long, the eerie aura surrounding the mirror disappeared.
The Ratman Skaven stood before the mirror, his expression uncertain.
He had thought that humans in the southern continent would be easy prey.
He had thought the Goblin Forest would be an easy base to seize for the Ratn Tribe’s future invasion of the southern continent.
He hadn’t expected a Power God to appear in Goblin Forest.
"Could it be the Demons?"
The Southern Wilderness had been occupied by the Demons ten years ago.
Recently, there had indeed been signs of Demons appearing in Goblin Forest.
"Heh, then let’s observe for a while!"
The room echoed with the chilling laughter of the Ratn Tribe.
------
Goblin Forest.
Throne Tribe, Throne Palace.
Ti flew by. It had unknowingly been two months since the Demon incident.
After the goblins gathered at the Throne Tribe dispersed, the tribe quickly resud its rapid developnt.
In the south, the goblins were expanding their territory at a rapid pace.
One sub-tribe after another sprang up.
More sub-tribes were needed to absorb the exploding population.
