They were two manifested Ratman souls, their grayish-blue fur shimmering with a faint glow, their sharp fangs glinting coldly in the fissure of his consciousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wielding swords and shields, they fought fiercely, the crisp clang of metal on metal echoing endlessly through the corridors of his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ratman on the left brandished a flame-wreathed Longsword. With every slash, its blade plowed a scorched trail across his neural synapses, and its scarlet pupils roiled with violent fire:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That damned human Lord! He snapped the Bakadi Leader’s neck! He slaughtered the Warriors of the Poison Arrow Tribe like they were ants!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its bare claws stomped hard on the corridor of his consciousness, sending out sparks that made the air SIZZLE.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our brethren are struggling in the bloody waters of hell!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can’t you smell the stench of blood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So we must tear out that human Lord’s throat and offer his heart to our fallen brothers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The words had barely faded when the smaller figure on the right immediately raised a rune-etched Round Shield to block. An icy-blue glow burst from the shield’s edge. The hand gripping its short blade trembled slightly, but its voice was laced with stubborn rationality:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hah?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fight to the death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even the Bakadi Leader was no match for him. What do you think you can do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should be thinking more about the remaining members of the Poison Arrow Tribe... They’ve lost the power to protect themselves. You must become their new protector!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This human Lord before us, or rather, this Divine Chosen Lord—the fact he didn’t kill you means he needs you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is an opportunity!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A chance for the Poison Arrow Tribe to survive the coming disaster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And maybe even... become the most powerful super Ratman Tribe in the Northern Forest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two figures dodged and weaved between his neural synapses, showering Diablo’s conscious mind with sparks and ice crystals. Their debate was like a coiled serpent, burrowing madly through the folds of his brain, tearing every crevice of decision into a battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Both of you, stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve already made my decision!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diablo’s consciousness trembled violently, and the two rat-like phantoms froze in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their hunched backs turned in unison toward the core of his consciousness. Four sharp claws scratched at the void as they hissed in one voice, a sound like scraping metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you plan to do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Diablo ignored the phantoms roiling in his mind. Instead, he turned his scarlet eyes toward the shadows of the cell, staring at the human figure leaning against the stone bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Qin Feng was twirling the Beast Tooth Necklace with the Bone Whistle tied to it between his fingers. The corner of his mouth held a half-smile, and the Moonlight filtering through a crack in the stone wall happened to brush across the dried bloodstains on the sole of his boot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low growl rumbled in the Ratman’s throat. His claws dug unconsciously into his palms, making a soft scraping sound against the damp straw.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord, I can tell you all the information I know. I can even become your claws and fangs, fighting for your power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you must help my brethren from the Ratman Tribe that raised me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To resist a group of enemies that are about to attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the Bone Whistle between Qin Feng’s fingers spun a silver arc in the Moonlight as he suddenly let out a low chuckle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The casual sound of amusement was enough to send the damp-loving insects in the stone cracks SCUTTLING away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Interesting!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As my Riding and Cutting captive!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This guy actually thinks he’s in a position to negotiate with me, his master?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A Heroic Unit?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But the system didn’t mark him as one... Could he be a nascent hero, one that hasn’t awakened yet?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng didn’t dwell on it. His territory was still in the development phase, and he was severely short on manpower. Not to mention, he had just accidentally lost a precious villager unit, making his already strained labor force even more stretched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, for ready-to-use, free Black Slave labor like these \"Ratman Warriors\"...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...there was really no reason to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can agree to your terms.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But on one condition: the Ratman Tribe you speak of must be willing to bow their heads and submit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To become my subjects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, the tension in Diablo’s nerves suddenly eased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been worried that this human Lord would look down on the Ratman Tribe he represented, and that he would have to rack his brains to find a bargaining chip of sufficient weight to persuade him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected the man to agree so decisively, as if he had secretly planned to subdue the Poison Arrow Tribe all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will persuade my kin to let go of their resentment for what you have done, Lord, and to come under your command.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng’s gaze sharpened, and he looked directly at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Diablo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Watch your words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have never actively attacked your people. On the contrary, it was you who ambushed my territory in the dead of night, attempting to slaughter my subjects.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Diablo’s throat tightened, and he was at a loss for words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Right...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He has a point...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We were the ones who were the aggressors, trying to bully the weak...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We just happened to kick an iron plate, and now we’ve ended up shooting ourselves in the foot...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lowered his head, a little humbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies, Lord. It was a slip of the tongue. I hope you can forgive me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Feng gave a light wave of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his tone suddenly shifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, your line of thinking isn’t wrong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I did just kill the current leader of your Poison Arrow Tribe and take down several of its members. That act will certainly provoke hostility from the rest of the tribe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to persuade them to set aside their hatred, switch to my side, and even serve me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1015,"2026-06-05T17:53:20.927Z",1,"novelbin.me","3a85a32b10eb621fbe34af3d5cb667a86db50166b167f90a14055a1871a06f72","lord-game-i-have-100-million-talents-chapter-17","lord-game-i-have-100-million-talents-chapter-15",397,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flord-game-i-have-100-million-talents-cover.jpg"]
