Law of the Swarm

Chapter 101 Curse
System naturally didn't know the fear of the rat man wizard in this cave, and he didn't know that this cunning rat man wizard would poison him every day these days and send plague-laden rats.

In fact, the ratmen's plague has little effect on cold-blooded insects, snakes, and lizards.

Since the level of [Mind Teleportation] was upgraded to be able to perceive mushrooms and slimes, System can feel a large amount of fungal life in his body every day, and the deadly plague possessed by the rat man, System is only Thought it was a common germ.

Only after the wound is exposed to the plague germs will there be some effect, but that only makes the wound not heal so easily, and will not have a fatal effect on the insects in a short time.

It was the same after System was shot by the poisonous arrow of the plague that time. The poisonous arrow made it difficult for his wound to heal, and the [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] ability could not be effective.

Fortunately, his [Psychic Transmission] can perceive the emotions of germs. Although he can't control these germs like manipulating slimes, he can clearly perceive the location of these germs.

Throw away some of the flesh and blood containing the plague bacteria, and his [Super Speed ​​​​Regeneration] will work again, otherwise it may take a few days for his wounds to fully heal.

……

This Ratman Cave is obviously much larger than ordinary Ratman Caves. It is nearly 30 meters long. There are more than ten floors of passages up and down, and hundreds of passages extending in all directions.

However, unlike ordinary ratman caves, there is no air circulation in this cave, and it seems that there is only one entrance.

The entire underground passage was like a labyrinth. System searched for more than ten minutes, but did not find any trace of a mouse.

Even with the video data from the database in the [Tools Menu], System inevitably got lost, and he had already circled around several times in some places.

As for Shava who was following System, she didn't notice that they had lost their way at all, and was still in high spirits, as if as long as System was beside her, she didn't have to worry about anything at all.

But it didn't take long before System, who kept circling in the mouse cave, finally found the key point to break through the maze.

It turned out that it wasn't just a big stone outside the Ratman's cave acting as an illusion.

In the tunnels of the Skaven Cave, there are also "walls" that act as illusions.

The false "walls" that appear on both sides of the relatively spacious and straight passage are indeed very deceptive. If it weren't for System's ability to recognize the outline of things in the [Tools menu], System might not have been able to spot it. these hidden passages.

Perhaps the Ratmen in this Ratman Cave took this into consideration, so they didn't create multiple exits from the lair.

Because there are too many exits, there will undoubtedly be some flowing wind in the cave. If a gust of wind blows from the wall, there will undoubtedly be a huge gap, which will be noticed by the enemies who break into the cave.

And now with these "walls" acting as illusions to guide him all the way, System could easily find the correct path.

Rat people may not understand the truth and the false, the truth of the combination of reality and reality, all the illusion "walls" point to the correct and only way.

After crossing two "walls", System got his wish and saw a few shivering little mice.

One of the little mice had a distinctly different look from the other mice. Although it also showed a fearful expression, it was more humane.

Taking advantage of System's inattention, the little mouse suddenly accelerated, and ran in the opposite direction that System was going. It seemed that it was controlled by the rat man, trying to lure System and Shava away. .

However, before it ran far, it was cut in half by Shava's blade, and several other little mice were also killed one after another under System's signal.

……

After continuing to kill more than a dozen little mice, System finally came to the room at the end of the cave. Outside the room, he saw a round wooden door with a circular metal handle on it. The gap in the wooden door was still visible. Give out some faint light.

The Ratmen spellcaster didn't seem to have the means to create attack traps. Except for some hallucinatory "walls", System didn't suffer any attacks when he came here, and there was nothing unusual about this wooden gate.

Shava easily pushed open the wooden door, revealing a square room of more than ten square meters at the end of the cave. System found two shining spherical crystals on the wall, which played the role of lighting.

The room was very clean. After System came to this world, it was the first time he saw a bed covered with cotton mattresses. He also saw a simple bookshelf with more than a dozen books on it, and a strange stone statue. .

A strange smoky figure was depicted on the statue. System had seen similar wooden statues before exploring the Ratmen's lair, but it was not as detailed as this one.

Slightly scanning the interior decoration of the room, System looked at the Ratmen spellcaster in a gray robe sitting on the chair.

System could feel some fear in the eyes of the Ratman spellcaster.

However, it was obvious that what this rat man was afraid of was not System, but Shava, who had killed countless rats.

The Ratman caster didn't do anything, but murmured some Ratman words to Sawa, and System didn't understand what the Ratman said.

Of course, it is even more impossible for Shava to understand.

Snapped--

Like a faint electric sound, the two bright balls in the room suddenly went out.

In the blink of an eye, a ratman with scarlet eyes popped out of nowhere in the room. It swung two daggers with silvery luster and slashed at Shava's head.

The sound of clanging in the room kept ringing, and Shava blocked the red-eyed rat man's dagger, but did not kill him immediately.

Shava's strength is stronger than the red-eyed ratman, but the attack speed of the red-eyed ratman is faster, and the red-eyed ratman seems to be in a state of frenzy, attacking crazily.

The strength of this red-eyed ratman seems to be stronger than that of ordinary wolf man fighters, and it seems to be evenly matched with Shava.

Because the target of the red-eyed rat man was not System at all, Shava, who couldn't feel the crisis, displayed extremely limited strength.

However, the situation of the battle changed quickly, and the rat man spellcaster who was sitting on the chair stood up.

The Rat Man Wizard stretched out his sharp fingers, and along with the unknown words of the Rat Man Wizard, a green ball of light appeared on the Rat Man's fingertips.

The ratman wizard aimed the ball of light at his fingertips not at Shava, who was fighting the red-eyed ratman, but at System, who was still watching from the sidelines.

ended……

If the rat man wizard hadn't gotten involved, maybe the red-eyed rat man would have fought Shava for a long time, but with the launch of the green light ball of the rat man wizard, the red-eyed rat man was instantly cast down like a god, with white light gushing out from his body. The dizzy Sawa was cut in half.

Shava moved quickly, blocking the ten-centimeter-sized green light bullet in front of System.

The Ratman Wizard did not continue to attack, but screamed strangely as if he had fallen into madness, and at the same time, a look of horror appeared on its face, this time it was not Shava, but System.

Judging from Shava's actions to protect System, it seems that the Ratman wizard has distinguished his priorities from Shava's.

The Ratman wizard didn't know the law of Shava's ability at all. It should have thought that he and Shava had extraordinary power, and was deliberately playing with it.

However, just when System thought he was sure of winning and that the rat man wizard who had lost his will to fight could be captured by him, System suddenly felt a sense of unease in his [intuition].

Without giving System any time to think, the Rat Man wizard's body suddenly inflated strangely like an inflated balloon, and exploded at the same time as Shava was slashing!
Shava stood in front of System, blocking all the exploding black flesh.

However, although Shava blocked the black blood and black flesh, he couldn't block a strange black light.

This black gloom bypassed Shava and entered System's body.

System feels very bad...
