Chapter 103 Recognize the Master
Everything went as Russell expected. The Rat King really needed the magic potion in the blood-fang fungus field.
It didn't dare to go to the manor outside to steal the magic potion. As a mouse, it was afraid of sunlight and open space. So it only dared to drive the rats to attack the Wolf Head Courtyard, hoping to bring back the blood-fang fungus magic potion to help it evolve.
With the implementation of the dog-catching-mouse plan, a large number of cats joined, which accelerated the collapse of the rat group, and the rat disaster was quickly put out.
The Rat King, who had no rats to use, was anxious.
Evolution was imminent, and it would never succeed without magic potion.
So after wasting two days, it smelled that humans had left, and the fighting spirit in the cave began to fade. It had to be brave and sneak along the passage to the direction of the Wolf Head Courtyard.
It hoped to catch humans off guard and grab enough magic potion to evolve.
However, it didn't know that humans had already formulated a dog-catching-mouse plan. There was also a handsome lord riding a giant dragon, who secretly explored its lair and passage, and asked Kevin, the golden and silver wolfhound, to keep a close eye on the passage.
So, as soon as it showed its head, it was struck by thunder.
The sharp fangs of the big mouth fell from the sky, embedded in its fur, and bit it tightly without letting go.
Not to mention that it has not evolved into a fantasy beast.
Even if it has evolved into a fantasy beast, it will be skinned alive if it is attacked like this.
So at this moment it can only scream, and then struggle constantly, trying to escape, but Kevin, the golden and silver wolfhound, has a big mouth like a vise, and once it bites, it will not relax at all, and it will run to the dark river with it in its mouth.
In order to confuse the Rat King, Russell and others have withdrawn from the Wolf Head Courtyard and stationed on the bank of the Xiangshui River.
Then.
They saw Kevin, the golden and silver wolfhound, holding a rat that is bigger than an ordinary hound, running quickly over.
When he got to the front, Kevin finally let go of his mouth and put the Rat King down.
The rat king thought he had finally escaped, but before he could run away, he was stepped on by a big foot that fell from the sky and could not move.
"My lord, this rat king has not evolved into a fantasy beast." Eric only took a simple look and felt the specific situation of the rat king, "But if you give it enough magic potions, it should be able to evolve into a fantasy beast soon."
"Congratulations, sir!" Charles immediately flattered him.
"The dragon is watching you every day!"
"The territory will have another fantasy beast!"
"Praise the master!"
Others followed suit and praised him for a while, especially Tom, Jack and other four knights, who shouted the loudest.
They didn't have a share of the golden and silver wolfhounds. The black pig had miscarried before. Now they finally got a rat king that was about to evolve, which rekindled their passion. They thought that as long as they were promoted to a great knight as soon as possible, they would have the opportunity to contract a fantasy beast!
That was a fantasy beast knight!
In their simple concept, a fantasy beast knight is the pinnacle of life in this life!
"Okay, let's save the compliments for later. It's still unclear whether this rat king can evolve into a fantasy beast." Russell reached out and stopped the flattery. He liked to hear it once or twice occasionally.
But if it keeps on... he liked it even more.
He had to resist the flattery with a strong willpower, and then signaled Eric to lift his foot slightly, so as not to step on the rat king to death.
"Big rat, although you are not a fantasy beast, you have become a spirit, and you should be able to understand human words." Russell said to the rat king who had taken a breath, "If you can understand, nod your head. If you can't, I can only kill you and eat your meat."
"Jiji!" The rat king called out, his eyes rolling around, and his head kept nodding.
Obviously.
When the rat grows up and becomes a spirit, it can indeed understand human words.
In fact, most fantasy beasts have opened their spiritual intelligence and can understand human words to a certain extent, especially the fantasy beasts after the contract, which have a spiritual connection with the knights and understand human words even more.
"I'll let you go now. If you know what's good for you, just lie here and don't run. If you dare to run, I'll kill you and eat your meat."
After Russell finished speaking, the Rat King nodded hurriedly.
So Russell signaled Eric to lift his feet.
Eric lifted his feet, and the Rat King was finally able to get up and straighten his body. However, after getting up, its pair of small eyes with red light kept turning, and it looked at Eric and Kevin from time to time.
It seemed to be weighing something.
The four short legs kept moving, taking two steps and then retreating. It was obvious that it wanted to run but didn't dare to run.
"That's good. I like dealing with smart animals." Russell laughed and was very satisfied with the Rat King's performance so far. Although the rat plague had eaten up all the food in the cave village and bit many people.
But it did not cause worse consequences, and everything was under control.
The most important thing is that once the Rat King successfully evolves, the territory will get the second fantasy beast, which is a great help for Russell.
This means that he will soon have a second fantasy beast knight subordinate.
He can even rely on the contract opportunity of this fantasy beast rat to recruit more great knights to follow him.
"Chiji."
"Ram, bring the magic potion."
"Master, here it comes." The butler Ram handed over a universal magic potion, the biggest effect of which is to strengthen the fighting spirit.
The power of the fantasy beast is different from the fighting spirit of the knight, but the magic potion itself is the most primitive power, and there is no possibility of conflict with the power or fighting spirit.
Unscrewing the lid, Russell placed the magic potion in front of the Rat King.
The rat king's eyes flashed red, and instantly emitted a brighter red light. He couldn't wait to pick up the bottle of magic potion and gulp it down.
Then he burped comfortably.
"How is it? It tastes good, and the most important thing is that it can help you evolve." Russell smiled slightly and said, "Big rat, follow me, you can get enough magic potions to help you evolve. You should know which way to choose."
"Jiji!"
The rat king's IQ is obviously not low. After turning his red eyes twice, he decisively came to Russell's feet, rubbed Russell's trouser legs affectionately, and acted like a puppy.
"Congratulations, sir!" Charles grinned, "Successfully recaptured a fantasy beast that is about to evolve!"
Beasts are different from humans. They will not play tricks and pretend to recognize their masters in exchange for benefits.
So the rat king's move is really to recognize his master in exchange for benefits. Its cunning lies in its cautiousness and suspicion, but it will not repeat after recognizing its master-unless Russell abuses it, it will repeat, or devour its master.
"Very good!"
Russell laughed and waved to the Rat King: "Follow me, I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks, what's the blood tooth fungus in the cave!"
"Chiji, chiji!" Then, the Rat King followed Russell like a hound.
Although it was afraid of the sun and open areas.
But with Russell's greetings and the occasional use of magic potions as bait, the Rat King's desire for evolution was stimulated, allowing the Rat King to successfully overcome his fear.
It can walk under the sun openly.
"Chiji!"
It raised its head and looked at the sun that it almost never dared to look up at before, as if it saw a new world.
The new world of its life!
