Mice dominate the dungeon

Twitch dragged the queen ant through the entrance hall and into the main hall.

The base camp was about the size of five rat burrows, and the dome was a natural tree root dome, with the intertwined roots creating a natural relief overhead.

Tucci did not change their shape, but simply embedded a small piece of fluorescent stone at each root node, making the entire dome shimmer with starlight like a starry sky.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of soft, pale golden hay.

This isn't ordinary hay; it's thin-stemmed grass harvested from a specific location by the monster [Snake-Chicken Beast] when it lays its eggs. Every time the foraging rat passes by the [Snake-Chicken Beast]'s nest, it just grabs a little bit.

Then, the support rats used their soft claws to tan and soften each rat hair, and it became what it is now.

The ground at the base camp is now paved with three layers, making it feel as smooth as clouds and gentle on the claws.

However, there is now a layer of dry moss in the center of the ground, which is obviously prepared by Twitch for the queen ant. It is unclear whether it is a ritual before eating or to prevent the queen ant from dirtying his carpet.

Tucci placed the queen ant on the dry moss and then went to the bedroom to wash his hands and face.

Even after becoming a rat, he still maintained certain good habits.

After a quick wash, I slowly approached the queen ant.

Tucci looked down at the ropes binding the queen ant, frowning as he examined them.

What kind of thing is this? It looks like a novice is tying up a rice dumpling, all crooked and messy, it's not pretty at all!

When I have some free time, I'll have to teach the mice how to tie up monsters.

Like something like tortoise shell bondage or group bondage...

Tucci picked up a sharp knife from the side and slowly cut the ropes on the queen ant's body.

As soon as the rope binding her body was removed, the previously quiet queen ant suddenly hissed at the mouse in front of her.

"Why are you yelling so loudly?" Tucci, who was holding the knife, quickly covered his ears.

The queen ant continued to roar regardless of the danger.

Seeing the queen ant's rudeness, Twitch poked its head with the tip of his knife and said, "What kind of attitude is that? Can't you be a little nicer?!"

The flash of the blade across her compound eyes calmed the queen ant considerably, and she looked at the unfamiliar rat before her with some confusion.

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself!" Twitch pointed to his face with his paw and said, "My name is John Twitch! I'm the king of this mouse park!"

Although the queen ant couldn't understand what Twitch was babbling about, the other's tone and unique aura reminded it of that damned little mouse in its own chamber!

Seeing the queen ant's puzzled eyes gradually clear, Twitch seemed to understand what it was thinking, and chuckled with his hands on his hips:

"That's right!"

"That little mouse is me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the queen ant, who had been relatively calm, went completely berserk. She wriggled her massive body and raised her mandibles, trying to smash the mouse in front of her to death.

Tucci took a step back and saw that the queen ant's head had already reached the edge of the dry moss.

"Hey! Calm down! You're crossing the line!"

The queen ant ignored it and continued to wriggle more violently.

"It's like talking to an ant when you're a mouse; it's completely meaningless..."

[Slash]

Tucci, knife in hand, leaped up and swung it down at the man's head.

To avoid damaging the food, Tucci only chopped down with the handle of the knife.

Thud~~~

The queen ant fainted on the dry moss.

Tucci walked to the side of the queen ant's head, tossed the knife in his hand, and landed it in a normal grip.

The knife was pressed against the junction of the head and the front chest plate.

As the knife slowly fell, Twitch suddenly felt like a kind-hearted rat who couldn't bear to see monsters suffer.

Before beheading it, Twitch didn't forget to give it a physical tranquilizer!

Other monsters would have eaten the queen ant alive.

"You've fallen for my trap, you can be considered lucky."

The knife sliced ​​across the joint, and the head fell off, with drops of pale yellow viscous fluid seeping from the cut surface.

Before the queen ant's head could fall onto the moss, Twitch caught it with both hands.

Looking at the queen ant's head, Twitch didn't know how to start biting.

After thinking for a while, he finally started sucking on his head like he was sucking on a shrimp's head.

Tucci's eyes widened as soon as he took a bite!

"It's so sour! It's so sour it'll kill a mouse!"

Although his mouth was filled with a sour and fishy taste, Tucci couldn't bear to spit it out and could only force himself to swallow it.

"I knew it! His brain's full of sour water, no wonder he's so clueless!"

Twitch originally intended to devour the queen ant in one go, but after recalling his previous experience, he abandoned the idea of ​​swallowing her whole.

[Bingeing Triggered]

[Start breaking it down...]

[Holy Water +10 +20...]

[Gold Coins +5 +5...]

Twitch could clearly sense that the magic contained in the queen ant's body far surpassed that of other substances.

This caused his holy water to skyrocket.

Having learned from past mistakes, Tucci basically takes a bite and then stops to ensure that he doesn't experience a storage tank overflow again.

As the holy water was nearing its storage limit, Twitch had already set his sights on the nursery corner.

But just then, Tucci's head went numb, and the colors in his vision became more intense.

I feel slightly tipsy...

This feeling only lasted a few seconds before it disappeared.

Before Twitch could even react, he suddenly noticed that his interface was starting to display notifications.

[Level 19 → 20]

[Holy water reserves are increasing...]

Gold coin storage has increased...

It's been upgraded?!

Twitch blinked, somewhat surprised but also feeling it was normal, after all, he had been at LV19 for some time now.

There are only two ways for Twitch to level up: one is through gluttony, and the other is through the feedback he receives after the mice and buildings in his territory are upgraded.

Now that Twitch has reached LV20, not only has his strength improved, but the entire territory has also undergone a qualitative change.

Because every 5 levels, that is, when reaching a whole number level, the system will give Twitch an opportunity to choose [Territory and Racial Skills]!

This is also the most valuable qualitative change in the upgrade!

Twitch ignored the other pop-up messages and focused his attention directly on [Territory and Racial Skills].

[Territory and Racial Skills]: Choose one of three

1. [Skin Change]: You can select and customize the fur texture and skin color of newborn mice.

2. [Charm Spell]: Greatly increases charm value. Can capture creatures with low intelligence and spirit.

3. [Voice of All Things]: Writing and language are the foundation of a civilization. With the help of this skill, one can master a language and its corresponding writing system in a short period of time.

The Charm spell is somewhat acceptable for Twitch.

After all, one can use the beauty of a mouse to reduce the enemy's hostility, and even win the enemy's pity.

But why is there even a "skin-changing" feature?

Twitch definitely doesn't want his account to be banned....

After a brief moment of thought, Tucci turned his attention to the introduction of [Voice of All Things].

Although [Voice of All Things] cannot immediately provide him with substantial combat power, it is currently the most practical skill!

Tucci was already tired of the squeaking of the mice. Although he could communicate with them in the sea of ​​mice, he always felt that something was missing.

Another issue is that I am unable to communicate normally with monsters.

The queen ant is an example...

Immediately, Twitch raised his claw and pressed it against the panel, and then a new skill, [Voice of All Things], appeared in his Lord Skills.

After a moment of contemplation, Tucci turned his head to look outside the base camp.

A peculiar magical force spread from Twitch to the entire mouse park.

[Lord's Blessing activated...]

[Give voice to all things...]
