Chapter 10 (2/2)

In the Cauchy tribe culture, to offer up your forehead meant to surrender yourself to God, presenting them your everything.

“Comoros, are you sure what you’re saying is true?” a sudden voice spoke up. It was an old man with a soft smile on his face, walking forward with the help of a walking cane and a young girl.

“Village chief” Comoros’ expression changed slightly. Even if he dared to talk back to Jacob, he wouldn’t dare to lie to this prestigious village chief. This was a fixed mentality formed through long years of respect and awe.

“I speak nothing but the truth. If we do not offer up our head to Negary and help the great Negary cultivate his messengers, the plague of death will surely descend upon the village. I am only thinking for the sake of the village, I am not lying” Comoros insisted.

“I know, but such a thing cannot be decided so quickly, we must discuss this further” the village chief slightly narrowed his eyes, still with a soft smile on his face. With his wealth of life experience, he was able to immediately tell that Comoros’ words contained exaggerations and lies.

However, the messengers of Negary are definitely not fake, so this must be dealt with carefully.

The village chief smiled: “How about this, let us have a meeting of village officials to discuss this right now, would you and the two Divine Messengers be so gracious as to join us?”

“That is…” Comoros was a bit stunned. In the end, he was still only a 15 years old young man, faced with the village chief’s amiable attitude, he wasn’t able to come up with any words of refusal.

Wang Yuan shook his head with disapproval. Comoros was still too green, acting so conceitedly only to be scared into submission like this. If he really did participate in that ‘discussion’ of theirs, without the momentum he currently had, even if Negary was real, Comoros would be suppressed so badly that the authority he had would be pathetically little. At that point, the most they would do is help him breed a few crows, things like sacrifices and offerings would be impossible.

And so, it was Wang Yuan’s turn to act. Several rat-like creatures jumped out from a nearby bush, the creatures’ skins had already rotted, showing the red flesh below as they screeched in frenzied anger. As they jumped towards the village chief, Comoros also felt a sharp pain that brought him to his knees.

The rat-like creatures latched onto the village chief’s body, biting and ripping his flesh off his body. Because of his old, weak body, the village chief was immediately pushed down by the rush of rodents, desperately screaming in pain. Even if he was the most authoritative person in this village, even if no one in this village dared go against his words, against this type of ambush, he was the same as any other person, if not more powerless.

“Grandfather! Quickly go help him!” the young girl next to him hurriedly tried to fight the rodents off, but quickly shrieked in pain. Looking at the back of her hand, she saw a bright red wound, so she turned to ask for help from a nearby villager.

“Don’t do it!” Comoros laid on the ground, writhing in pain and shouted: “Those Nael beasts have all been afflicted with Negary’s curse, once they bite you, you will be afflicted by the plague of death as well! The village chief’s words angered the great Negary, that is why he was punished for it, trying to help him will only bring Negary’s wrath upon yourself as well!”

Seeing the once-dignified village chief dying such a horrible death right in front of his eyes, Comoros completely understood, in front of the great Negary, things like village chiefs and whatnot were equally insignificant.

Many of the people who were about to help, stopped themselves and instead took distance from the village chief and the bitten girl.

“Initial desired effect is achieved!” Wang Yuan grinned. It was fortunate that he prepared a countermeasure beforehand. After those rats were infected with his bacteria, they couldn’t resist his mental commands at all, but unlike the crows, they were single-use weapons that would die from the disease after just half a day.

However, that was enough. After this show of prestige, no one in this village would dare to go against him anymore, besides the one called Jacob.

With that in mind, Wang Yuan glanced over at the man who was clenching his fists tightly.
