Chapter 1075: Be late

"Are they the Rat militia?" Meng Chao asked Ice Storm with his lips.
"Unlike, I have never seen a rat militia who cooperates so skillfully, nor have I seen such a fierce and undaunted rat militia, at least, I have never seen it in the Blood Skull Arena." Ice Storm looked solemnly. Shook his head.
Meng Chao thought for a while, suddenly turned over and jumped off the ruined wall, disappearing in the smoke and dust before the ice storm stopped.
After a while, he carried two things and sneaked back from the cat's waist.
Ice Storm looked intently at what he placed behind the ruined wall.
It turned out to be two bodies with hooded cloaks.
Just now, in order to break through the defenses of gladiators and temple guards, these elite rat folks wearing hooded cloaks suffered a lot of casualties, leaving corpses everywhere.
After capturing the granary and arsenal, the rat people were extremely excited.
In the process of rushing to grab weapons and mandala fruit, no one noticed that the two corpses were missing.
However, Ice Storm didn't understand, why did Meng Chao steal the body?
"Sometimes, the corpse can reveal more information to us than the living person. After all, even if you encounter a determined living person, even if you are tortured, you may not be able to pry his mouth open."
Meng Chao knelt on one knee and examined the two corpses carefully.
He first touched the muscles and bones of the two corpses inch by inch, not letting go of every joint from the elbow to the knee.
They also pulled away their thick hair to check the growth of lice and fleas.
After that, he closed his eyes again and carefully rubbed the soles of the corpse's feet and the calluses on the palms.
Finally, he opened his shining eyes, pried open the corpse's mouth, and carefully checked the corpse's oral health.
That concentrating and even energetic appearance reminded Ice Storm of his mother's friends—the wizards who secretly dig tombs in order to study necromantic magic.
Ice Storm asked horribly: "So, do these two corpses tell you any valuable information?"
"of course."
Meng Chao put the index and middle fingers of his right hand together, pointed at different parts of the corpse, and talked freely, "First of all, from the outside, neither of the two corpses can see too obvious clans, but a fusion of ligers and tigers. The characteristics of various beasts such as cloven-hoofed and even reptiles, which means that their blood is very complicated, and they are very typical rat people.
"However, the bones and joints of the two corpses are far larger and harder than ordinary orcs.
"This is the result of perennial consumption of high-energy food and targeted training. Psionic energy penetrates into the bone marrow and continuously strengthens bones.
"Similarly, their muscle fibers are stronger than ordinary orcs. From the analysis of their tendons and bones, I think they can easily swing hundreds of kilograms of huge swords and make dazzling slashing movements—even if For Turan people who are born with supernatural power, this is an extremely high standard.
"Also, I noticed that the bones of the two corpses were all covered with a large number of old fractures. The cracks were not too long or deep. It should not be caused by fighting, but by high-intensity training. However, after bone cracks and fractures, They received proper treatment in time, which did not affect their combat effectiveness.
"In the past month, when I was helping you select your servants, I also checked the bones and muscles of hundreds of rat people.
"Many rat people have suffered injuries of varying degrees when picking mandala fruits or hunting wild animals in their hometowns. Most of the injuries were much lighter than the injuries suffered by the two corpses. It was because of the lack of professional treatment. All kinds of sequelae."
Hearing what Meng Chao said, Ice Storm also started, carefully groping for the wrist, elbow and shoulder blade of a corpse. He also used a sharp ice cone to gently poke the shoulder blade of the corpse, but he couldn't get in.
She nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Indeed, this guy's arm bones are as hard as iron, which is not a level that ordinary rat militia soldiers can reach.
"To be able to train such a strong soldier, there must be an experienced, well-equipped, and well-resourced team behind this guy!"
"That's what I want to say."
Meng Chaodao, "From the analysis of the palms of the two corpses and the cocoon shells on the soles of their feet, it can also be seen that they have received long-term, arduous, and professional training-such training is by no means a mouse village can provide. And what should be provided.
"However, the more important evidence is their teeth."
Ice Storm said: "Teeth?"
"Yes, after the flesh and blood absorbs psionic energy, the metabolism speeds up, and many traces of the past will be erased in three to five months or less. However, the traces left on the teeth cannot be deceived. ."
Meng Chao opened the mouths of the two corpses without disgust, and signaled to Ice Storm: "Look, the upper and lower rows of teeth of the two corpses are relatively neatly arranged, but they all have quite serious dental caries."
Ice Storm looked down, and it was exactly what Meng Chao said.
But she didn't understand: "So what?"
"The neat arrangement of teeth means that they often chew bones and bite tough meats. They massage and squeeze the gums while imperceptibly. As for tooth decay, it means that they often enjoy sweets and irritating secret medicines."
Meng Chaodao, "You must know that in the prosperity era, no matter how distressed the rat people are, there is always no shortage of food.
"It's just that, for three meals a day, most of the time, the rat people's food is mandala fruit, and in order to save fuel, auxiliary materials and spices, they are eaten raw, cold, and at most roasted. .
"The texture of Datura fruit is soft and dense, and the nature is gentle and not irritating. This way of eating, no matter how much you eat, it is difficult to cause dental caries.
"For ordinary rat people, whether it is fried mandala fruit dipped in sour cream, or honey mixed mandala puree and other sweets, it is not easy to eat.
"As for the flesh and blood of wild beasts, not to mention, they are all good things to be offered to the city for the samurai master to enjoy.
"There are also secret medicines refined by witch doctors. Although they have active muscles and bones, strengthen the blood, and make it easier for the clan warriors to activate the effect of totem power, but because the craftsmanship during the refining is not enough, the finished product is often full of strong irritation. Even corrosive, it is easy to damage the enamel of the user.
"A lot of careless clan warriors have no concept of protecting oral hygiene at all. Over time, it is not surprising that mouths grow full of rotten teeth!
"The problem is here. From the outside, the two corpses are obviously standard rat people, but their oral conditions indicate that they have eaten a lot of high-energy food, totem animal flesh and blood, and secrets for many years, like clan warriors. Medicine, eat better than many domestic rat servants in Pointe-Noire, and even low-level warriors.
"Who is it that supports them behind the scenes?"
After the witch's mother died, he escaped the chase of the night watchman, escaped from the land of the holy light to Turanze, and hibernated almost perfectly in Pointe Noire for two years. The ice storm was naturally not stupid.
After Meng Chao’s instructions, her thoughts turned and she immediately understood: "You mean, the so-called'great horned rat descends' is absolutely man-made, and these elite rat people wearing hooded cloaks are carefully crafted by the mastermind behind the scenes. A tool to set off the rat people frenzy in Pointe-Noire?"
"Yes, if we want to successfully escape from the territory of the Bleedinghoof Clan, we must rely on the earth-shaking power of the rat people's frenzy. Therefore, it is very important for us to find out the truth of the'Great Horned Rat God's Coming'."
Meng Chao groaned, "The other party's purpose is definitely not just to rescue all the rat people in Pointe Noire city—since the other party can train such elite rat people fighters, there is no reason to rescue a group of mobs and add heaviness to their logistics supplies. The burden is right.
"unless…"
Speaking of this, Meng Chao suddenly realized something and looked up in the direction of the arsenal and the granary.
After discovering that these elite mouse people wearing hooded cloaks were extremely powerful in combat, Meng Chao firmly locked in the "hooded cloak" that survived in the field of vision.
Even during the autopsy just now, Ice Storm was staring at these guys' every move.
Sure enough, when most of the scrawny rat slave laborers, desperately pounced on the piles of mandala fruits and gleaming swords, guns and swords.
But there was a group of hooded cloaks, gathered together quietly, and hurriedly left the granary and arsenal.
"Where are they going?"
Meng Chao became curious.
"Could it be that their goal is not just the granary and the arsenal?"
He muttered to himself, "Yes, what is stored in the granary and the arsenal is only the most common mandala fruit and crude weapons.
"These things, of course, can make the rat people slave workers like a treasure, but for the elite rat people who have received professional training for a long time and eat the flesh and blood of totem beasts, it is nothing.
"The main messenger behind them has taken great pains to make such a big movement, and the purpose is definitely not only to get a few mandala fruits, but a few ordinary weapons!"
Meng Chao and Ice Storm looked at each other.
The two evacuated quietly from the ruined wall, and followed behind the hooded cloaks not too far away.
I saw these guys advancing in the Blood Skull Arena with ease.
Except for encountering the ruins collapsed by the explosion and stopping to observe for a while, he was not disturbed by any fork in the road.
It seems that he has a good understanding of the internal structure of the Blood Skull Arena, and the purpose is very clear.
There are also many hooded cloaks along the way, which came out from nowhere and joined their team.
Behind these hooded cloaks, swollen animal skins were wrapped on their backs.
Judging from the volume of the package, it does not look like a weapon, but rather a large tool with a complicated structure.
Soon, this elite team of rat people with mysterious origins arrived at their destination.
The familiar scene in front of them made Meng Chao and Bing Storm feel a sense of absurdity at the same time.
The destination of these guys turned out to be the Blood Skull Temple that had just been ransacked by them!
