Reincarnation of the God of Medicine
Chapter 218: Hordes of rats and their secrets (part 2)
"Have you just spoken my language?" xiao Tian asked with wide eyes.
"No, you're wrong. I'm not the one speaking your language. But you are the one speaking my language," continued the red rat before Xiao Tian.
"Stop joking, how could I possibly speak rat language!" Xiao Tian snapped as he could not believe the words of the red mouse.
"If you don't speak rat, then why can you talk to me?" said the red mouse with a faint smile.
Hearing the words of the red rat that was quite reasonable, Xiao Tian frowned as he still could not believe what had just happened to him.
"See and observe the symbol of the mouse on your right foot. I bite you not for nothing, but because I need your help.
Once the rat symbol has been formed, you can talk to any rat."
"Not only that, the mouse symbol can also speed up the recovery of your spirit power and qi energy so that it is fully charged."
"As long as the symbol is still there, then you can manipulate your spirit power as well as your qi pressure to the fullest extent possible," explained the red mouse as he looked at Xiao Tian seriously.
"Isn't that cheating?"
"The power of qi as well as the power of spirit should not be able to be full instantly. Why are you giving me something so great?" xiao Tian asked with a astonished look.
"All good things require a fair payment. There is a reason why I gave you that symbol, which is because we need your help to get out of this cave," explained the red rat as he looked at Xiao Tian.
"Get out of the cave?"
"Why do you want to get out of the cave?"
"Is this not your home?" xiao Tian asked as he frowned.
"This cave is not our place!"
"Even our forms are not real," explained the red mouse as he lowered his head.
"You mean?" xiao Tian asked with a astonished look.
Seeing that Xiao Tian still did not understand what he was explaining, the red rat explained everything in detail. From their origins and why they could be trapped in the spirit realm in the form of a mouse.
The red rat tells us that rats are actually the embodiment of people who have failed in performing the test of the spirit realm.
Any spirit that does not pass the test will be transformed into an animal and will never be able to get out of the cave. Disconnected from the wheel of reincarnation and disconnected from the real world. Living eternal life in the form of a mouse without being able to eat and drink.
Even though they were only a disembodied spirit, they still felt hungry.
Holding hunger for thousands of years is a very self-torturing thing, therefore they crave death.
"If you're craving death, why didn't you dare approach me earlier?" asked Xiao Tian.
"There are two reasons behind it, first we can be tortured but not killed. Although our spirits have been destroyed, we will be revived with doubled hunger."
"Death is not a solution, but only a means to self-harm. We want to die but we don't want to be revived, you're our only hope."
"If you don't help us then we're forced to keep you from leaving this place" said the red mouse with a serious look.
After the red rat threatened Xiao Tian, the black rats let out a swamp of killing them simultaneously in order to scare away the nakuti Xiao Tian.
"So the point is I have no choice but to help you guys, huh?" xiao Tian said with a sigh.
"That's how it is" said the red mouse with a faint smile.
"How many people have you asked for help like this?"
"And why is the color of your fur different from that of other rat?" xiao Tian asked with a serious look.
"I'm red-furred because I didn't commit murder in the cave. This place is a holy place, everyone who commits murder in the cave will fail the test and turn into a weak and helpless black rat" explained the red rat.
"Weak and helpless?"
"Where's the part?"
"Their strength was above the level swordsman of the illusionary realm. One of them alone was able to destroy an entire kingdom on the elemental mainland without the slightest difficulty," Xiao Tian said with a clenched hand.
"Cih, land element you say?"
"This is the first time I've heard the name of the place. How vast is your place, and how many illusory warriors are there in your place?" ask the red rat with a faint smile.
"So far only one illusionary realm swordsman I have met, even that comes from the demon side which is the mortal enemy of humans," Xiao Tian explained.
"If the devil is stronger than the human race, why are you still able to survive?" ask the red rat.
"That's because humans are united against evil demons, thanks to the help of the top layer fighting Gods we can drive out the messing up demons. Although humans can only reach the stage of a Fighter God we can survive for thousands of years from the attacks of the demons and make them hide" Xiao Tian explained.
"Fighter god said you?"
"Haha,"
"I don't think there's any weak land that can still survive."
"Do you know, all the people we were fighting before were people who were above the dragon realm level warriors?"
"And they all come from the human race,"
take the red mouse seriously.
"A ... dragon nature?" said Xiao Tian with a trembling body.
"Why are you shaking in fear?"
"Calm down, we're not gonna kill you. If you heard the dragon warrior you trembled with fear, what would happen if you heard of my cultivation having reached the warrior realm of heaven?" ask the red mouse with a serious look.
"Nature of heaven you say?"
"Why can a warrior as strong as you fail the test?" xiao Tian asked with a trembling body. He began to doubt his ability because he saw that the person who had failed the test was a person whose strength was very far from his reach.
Based on his knowledge there were several levels of strength after the level of a Combat God.
- the natural hero of illusion
- the spirit realm rider
- Natural beast breeder
mortal realm swordsman
dragon nature warriors
land nature warriors
- Wind nature warrior
- Sky nature warriors
- the hero of the universe
natural hero fairy
the heavenly warrior
the eternal warrior
- Swordsman of the God Realm
Whereas at the moment Xiao Tian's strength was only reaching the level of a first layer fighting god. The difference in cultivation that was too far away made him even more doubtful of his success in doing the test.
With a frustrated face, Xiao Tian said, "If a swordsman as good as you can't even finish the exam, how can a weak swordsman like me possibly complete this exam?"
"Justrul because you are weak then your chance of succeeding is very high," the red mouse continued as he looked at Xiao Tian.
"You mean?" xiao Tian asked with a frown.
"If you were stronger than us, you would have killed us in the first place. Just like the black rats did before they were cursed to be rats for failing the test. Killing is forbidden here. Even if it's just to protect yourself, you'll fail the test if you kill one of us" explained the red rat with a serious look.
"Failed in the test?" xiao Tian asked with wide eyes.
"Truely, most of the black rats here failed because they made the same mistake. They failed because they killed me and the black rats that blocked his path.
And I and the black rats had no killing intent. We block all examinees from being asked for help. And this is the first time we have managed to subdue an examinee like you," explained the red rat with a serious look.
"Is that so?"
"Then what do I have to do to pass the exam?"
"And how can I free you from the shackles of the spirit realm?" xiao Tian asked with a frown.
"This place is full of traps, but you don't have to worry because we will lead you to the golden crystal safely."
"So don't think about anything else, because you've certainly passed the test of the holy rat spirit. Because we've already memorized the location of the trap here."
"Remember, we're not just helping you."
"You have to do one thing for us" said the red mouse with a serious look.
"What's that?" xiao Tian asked with a frown.
"When meeting the golden rat who is the embodiment of the holy rat spirit later ... ,"
"Please ask him to release our spirit, so that ki can return to the wheel of reincarnation" said the red mouse, bowing his head.
"Please help us get out of this cave" said the black rats, bowing their heads.
Seeing the rats seem so sincerely pleading with him, Xiao Tian finally burst to promise to free them all after passing the test he was undergoing.
"Alright, I promise to ask for your freedom after passing the test this time," Xiao Tian said with a serious face.
