From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 23, Blood Mushroom

The Lizardman leader led his lizardman troops to push away the huge stone that blocked the entrance of the ratman's underground cave, and what came into view was the narrow tunnel.

The tunnel was not wide, and the tall lizardman leader could only squeeze in with difficulty, which also represented danger.

Looking at the endless darkness deep in the tunnel, the lizardman leader took a shield from a lizardman warrior on the side and rushed into the dark tunnel in front of him.

The lizardman warriors behind him followed closely.

Above the sky, the gazes of the gods from both sides were cast over at the same time.

In addition to the performance of the clans of both sides, Du Yuan and Li Sheng's attention was also drawn to each other. The influence of the apprentice god on the clan world was still too weak.

If Du Yuan used magic to attack the lizardman army in front of him, he would be stopped by Li Sheng immediately.

Moreover, the magic spells cast out will be greatly weakened.

After all, the complete material world is not the main battlefield of the gods. The sea of ​​chaos outside the world is where the gods display their military power.

Even for a powerful official god, it would not be easy to perform miracles in the lowest level small world.

What’s more, Du Yuan is an apprentice god who has just started on the road to becoming a god.

The lizardman leader did not encounter any attacks in the tunnel, and the journey was very smooth and peaceful. However, this calmness was not a good thing. He had experienced the madness of the ratmen, and this kind of silence was particularly abnormal, making him feel a little uneasy. However, as a leader, he would not show this uneasiness, and strode forward calmly and steadily.

A little light appeared and the destination was almost reached.

The lizardman leader tightly grasped the wooden shield in his hand and rushed towards the light.

The moment I rushed out of the tunnel, a strong smell of blood rushed into my nose.

Then came the roar like that of a wild beast.

A huge figure rushed towards the lizardman leader.

This is a huge and ferocious rat, with bulging muscles all over its body. If you look closely, you can see the muscle fibers inside wriggling in an abnormal posture. Its arms are bulging in an exaggerated manner, and there is not a single fur left on its body. It looks like a giant, skinned upright rat-man.

This was a hideous monster that the Lizardman leader had never seen before. Although some huge crazy ratmen had already shown up on the battlefield in the past few days, none of them was as huge and hideous as the monster that appeared in front of the Lizardman leader now.

In response to the sudden attack, the ferocious monster hastily raised the shield in his hand and punched the huge lizardman leader in front of him. Under the tremendous force, the lizardman leader retreated a few steps. The lizardman warriors behind him faced the retreating leader and avoided him in panic.

In addition to this ferocious monster, there was also a group of extremely huge ratmen on the field. With violent roars, they attacked the emerging lizardman warriors.

There was a bit more chaos on the field.

This scene was exactly what the white rat wanted to see.

In front of the sacred altar, the white rat let out a sharp and piercing laugh, waving the wooden stick in its hand wildly.

The final battle is about to begin.

At the same time, Du Yuan also moved. The moment the lizardman entered, under Du Yuan's stimulation, the stone pillar that stored the power of faith burst out with an exceptionally bright and dazzling light. It was the power of faith that was released completely. The power of faith was dense in the cave, blocking any possibility of Li Sheng's spying.

The appearance of this scene made the white rat on the altar even more fanatical and excited.

"Miracle! Great miracle!" With loud cheers, the berserk technique was thrown out as if it was free of charge, splashing towards the huge and ferocious monster blocking the entrance of the cave, and also towards those tall ratmen.

Bringing bursts of roaring sounds.

This group of lizardmen were deliberately let in by White Rat. Although fighting in the narrow tunnel could cause some trouble to the lizardmen, it could not bring out the true combat power of his old friends.

White Rat turned his old friend, the old rival of the Lizardman leader, the first rat leader with heroic potential among Du Yuan's ratmen, Spear Rat, into a monster.

What an honor it is that this despicable, wavering fellow finally embraces loyalty at this moment.

Fight loyally for the great god.

Although his appearance became somewhat strange, he lost his sanity and turned into a hideous monster.

But he gained power, and loyalty!
The lizardman leader found it quite difficult to face the current spear rats, which had been reborn in the physical sense.

The white rat thought it was totally worth it!
A sharp, piercing laugh echoed through the cave.

Du Yuan watched as the spear rat was tied up by the white rat and fed the special pure black blood mushroom, and turned into this horrible appearance. It must be said that as a young ancient god, Xiaochun did create some strange things, such as the blood mushroom.

The reason why this group of ratmen under Du Yuan were able to stride into the theocratic slave society when civilization was still semi-enlightened was largely due to Xiaochun and the blood mushroom that Xiaochun had tinkered with.

I have to admit that blood mushroom is indeed a good thing. It can enhance the physique of the clan and can be produced in large quantities. It is very powerful.

And the function of blood mushroom is not limited to this. There are three states of blood mushroom. The red blood mushroom is the most standard blood mushroom. It grows on the offerings floating around the altar. There are some remaining blood and flesh essences in the mushroom body.

After eating it, it can strengthen the physical constitution and warm the body. It is a very pure divine plant, but it has one biggest drawback.

Addictiveness, the warmth that comes with eating, that is the force that pulls the essence of life to leap upward, the blood mushroom will leave every ratman who has eaten it with an unforgettable feeling and experience.

This is nothing, as long as your willpower is strong enough, such an experience can only be called strange, but the willpower of the rat people... is not strong, it can only be said to be extremely weak.

This irresistible and unforgettable experience had a miraculous effect on the Rat Man, giving rise to absolute greed and desire.

And not only that, while the ratmen were being attacked by the blood mushrooms, another group of ratmen was even more powerful.

Slave rat.

These guys were demoted to slave rats because of fleeing and rout on the battlefield. They were driven by the rat priests to work and fight like cheap consumables.

But paradoxically, they are able to become more and more pious amidst cruel oppression and exploitation.

Because of the existence of blood mushrooms, the more cruel the world is, the better the warmth it brings is. The better it is, the more people desire it. When the desire reaches a certain level, it turns into morbid madness.

Pious in madness, because the existence of the blood mushroom is firmly bound to Du Yuan, appearing as a gift from God.

Distorted and sick.

But this is only the most basic link in the chain of wonders created by blood mushrooms.
