Ever since the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan almost perished together with the Golden Hellhound Clan 10,000 years ago, there was only one branch left.
This branch had been passed down until today.
However, in order to recuperate, they had learned to conceal themselves and not expose themselves in front of people.
They had made too many enemies back then. If they exposed the existence of their branch, they would definitely be attacked by those people like a storm.
It was precisely because of their recuperation that the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan's branch had been hiding in the dark.
Perhaps, the Golden Hellhound Clan was really the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan's archenemy. When the latter left a branch behind, they also left a branch behind.
Since then, the two branches had been fighting.
They were evenly matched, and they had been fighting for over 20,000 years.
It was until 100 years ago that a Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan's Imperial powerhouse obtained a Heavenly Jewel that was filled with Nature Energy. With the help of the Heavenly Jewel, he raised the Nature Profundity he comprehended by a few levels in a short period of time.
Due to this reason, the balance between the two clans was broken. Under the leadership of that powerhouse, the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan completely annihilated the Golden Hellhound Clan.
Naturally, in their eyes, it was complete annihilation.
They did not know that when they were killing the Golden Hellhound Clan that year, a Golden Hellhound puppy had survived.
Moreover, that Golden Hellhound puppy had relied on its own efforts to possess strength that was not inferior to the two strongest Imperial powerhouses in the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan!
The Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan's branch was located in a dark swamp.
Root-type demon beasts did not like light. They preferred to hide in the dark because only the dark could give them a sense of security, an absolute sense of security.
"Gold Thug, you've been here before?"
Today, there were a few uninvited guests in a corner of the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan's branch's vast territory. They were being led by a golden-robed old man.
The person who asked the golden-robed old man was a purple-clad young man who was following behind.
"Yes, Master."
The golden-robed old man replied respectfully in the face of the purple-clad young man's question.
The people who had come to this swamp, which was also the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan's branch's residence, were Duan Lingtian and the others who had come from afar.
The Gold Thug came here as though he was strolling in his own backyard.. Duan Lingtian and the others could not help but feel surprised.
"Master, over there."
Then, Gold Thug continued to lead the way. He flew all the way to the center of the swamp. He did not try to hide himself.
"Are you sure this won't alert the enemy?"
Duan Lingtian asked with a frown.
"Don't worry, master."
As Gold Thug replied, he continued to speed up.
"Who is it?!"
After a while, a loud shout came from the swamp in the distance.
Along with the voice, little black dots began to appear before Duan Ling Tian and the others. They continued to grow larger and larger as they did so.
However, even in front of Duan Lingtian and the others, the little black dot didn't become much bigger.
What appeared in front of Duan Lingtian and the others were seven rat-type demon beasts with mixed fur all over their bodies. They were slightly larger than ordinary rats, and their eyes were flashing with a scarlet luster.
"Berserk Mongrel Rodent!"
With just one look, Duan Lingtian recognized the seven rat-type demon beasts. They were exactly the same as the Berserk Mongrel Rodent in the memory of the Reincarnation Emperor Wu.
"How dare you be so presumptuous in front of me!"
Just as Duan Lingtian, Feng Tianwu, and Xiong Quan tensed up and were about to attack, Gold Thug spoke. His voice was filled with authority and spread far and wide.
Boom!
At the same time, a vast wave of air gushed out from Gold Thug's body and sent the seven Berserk Mongrel Rodents flying.
However, Gold Thug did not take advantage of the situation to attack. He stood where he was and raised his hand. An ancient token appeared in his hand. The token was engraved with extremely complicated and ancient patterns.
Upon closer inspection, the pattern formed by the patterns was a rat-type demon beast.
Just as Duan Lingtian and the others were puzzled, Gold Thug's voice rang out.
"Greetings, Third Emperor!"
The seven Berserk Mongrel Rodents that were sent flying by Gold Thug had bloodshot eyes. They were ready to call for the other tribesmen. However, when they saw the token in Gold Thug's hand, all of them kneeled in the air like humans.
At this moment, as they kneeled in the air, their bodies trembled. Fear filled their seven pairs of bloodshot eyes.
"Third Emperor, please spare our lives! We didn't know it was you. "
One of the Berserk Mongrel Rodents said in a trembling voice.
"Third Emperor, please spare our lives!"
The other two Berserk Mongrel Rodents also begged for mercy. Their voices were trembling.
"Scram!"
Gold Thug shouted coldly. As he raised his hand, a rolling energy swept out and sent the seven Berserk Mongrel Rodents who had not even entered the Void Transformation Stage flying again.
At this moment, the seven Berserk Mongrel Rodents fled as though they were relieved of a heavy burden.
After a short while, the swamp regained its tranquility.
"Master, please."
After the seven Berserk Mongrel Rodents left, Gold Thug, who was originally majestic, stepped aside respectfully. He bowed humbly to Duan Lingtian and guided Duan Lingtian forward.
However, Duan Lingtian had no intention of leaving.
"Gold Thug, what happened just now? Why did they address you as Third Emperor? "
Duan Lingtian asked curiously.
He still felt strange when he recalled the scene earlier.
Logically speaking, as the Golden Hellhound, Gold Thug should be the archenemy of the Berserk Mongrel Rodents, right?
Why did the seven Berserk Mongrel Rodents not only kneel obediently when they saw the token in Gold Thug's hand, but they even addressed him as Third Emperor?
Duan Lingtian could not figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it.
In fact, Duan Lingtian was not the only one who could not figure it out. Even Feng Tianwu and Xiong Quan were puzzled as well.
Xiong Quan, in particular, had a confused expression on his face. His shock had yet to fade away.
Earlier, when he saw the seven Berserk Mongrel Rodents bowing to Gold Thug, it gave him a huge shock. He had no idea what was going on at all.
"Young Master, didn't you say … that the Golden Hellhound and the Berserk Mongrel Rodents are archenemies?"
Xiong Quan was puzzled.
"Master, in the eyes of the Berserk Mongrel Rodents, the Golden Hellhound has become a thing of the past. It no longer exists!"
Gold Thug said slowly in response to Duan Lingtian's question.
"You mean … They don't know about your existence?"
Duan Lingtian was not stupid. He could easily figure out something from Gold Thug's words.
"You're wise, Master."
Gold Thug nodded and flattered Duan Lingtian.
"Let's not talk about this for now … Why don't you explain why the seven Berserk Mongrel Rodents kneeled on the ground and addressed you as the Third Emperor when they saw you taking out the Order Token?"
Duan Lingtian looked at Gold Thug strangely. "Don't tell me you stole the Order Token from one of the Royal Family members of the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan?"
The Royal Family reigned supreme in the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan.
After the Royal Family was the Royal Family.
The Royal Family had a close relationship with the Royal Family. Most of them were the offspring of a Royal Family member and a non-royal family member. They were neither superior nor inferior. However, they had an extremely high status in the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan.
Some of the Royal Family members might even be the siblings of the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan branch leader.
Therefore, it was normal for the Royal Family members to be addressed as the Third Emperor.
"Of course not."
Gold Thug shook his head as he weighed the Order Token in his hand. "Master, this Order Token in my hand belongs to me … To be more precise, it was given to me by the two Royal Family members of the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan."
"What?!"
One must admit that Gold Thug's answer completely shocked Duan Lingtian, Feng Tianwu, and Xiong Quan.
"Aren't they your enemies? Why would they give you this? "
Xiong Quan asked with his mouth agape.
"I know they're my enemies, but it doesn't mean they know I'm their mortal enemy."
Gold Thug's eyes gleamed. Under Duan Lingtian and the other two's puzzled gazes, he said slowly, "Back then, I created an opportunity to sneak into the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan's residence … At that time, I helped them solve a problem. Since the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan's ability was on par with the two Royal Family members, I was acknowledged by them.
"It's funny now that I think about it … That time, they actually forced me to become sworn brothers. Since I couldn't defeat them after they went berserk, I became their third brother.
Both of them had similar abilities so they were called the 'Big Brother' for now. When one of them becomes the leader of the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan in the future, he'll become the one and only 'Big Brother' while the other one will be the 'Second Brother'. "
Gold Thug sneered when he reached this part of the sentence.
"You … You became sworn brothers with them?"
Xiong Quan was shocked.
"Hmph! It's just a formality … I only found out later that the reason we became sworn brothers was because they wanted to use me to do something for them. They told me it wasn't dangerous, but I almost lost my life because of it. "
When Gold Thug reached this part of the sentence, he said angrily with lingering fear, "The Berserk Mongrel Rodents are just like what was recorded in the handbook passed down in our clan. They're all despicable and shameless creatures!"
"Later on, they wanted to use me so I left without saying goodbye … I came here to find out more about them. At that time, I had a good understanding of them so I chose to leave."
Gold Thug looked at the order token in his hand and continued, "They gave me this order token after I was almost killed by them … They said it was to give me a position in the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan that's only below them."
After listening to Gold Thug's words, Duan Lingtian and the other two finally understood what was going on.
"If that's the case … With this order token, we'll soon be able to see the two Imperial Berserk Mongrel Rodents in the Berserk Mongrel Rodent Clan?"
Xiong Quan's eyes lit up.
"Yes."
Gold Thug nodded as his eyes gleamed coldly. "If they know I'm back, I wonder how happy they'll be … In their eyes, I'm just a powerful lackey who can help them do many things that their clansmen can't."
