Law of the Swarm

Chapter 118 Another Ratman
The crisis from the storm temporarily came to an end in an unexpected way for System.

System couldn't help but feel anticlimactic.

However, after careful analysis, System felt that he was lucky enough to escape the crisis in this way.

Perhaps it was through this rain that the druids and elves broke their agreement with the wolf man and set foot in the wolf man's territory.

The rain blocked the view and brought the necessary conditions for System's subsequent escape.

Otherwise, if the Druid finds that the thing emitting a natural breath is a monster with a body length of more than 40 centimeters and a tentacle monster that is nearly half a meter long, it will definitely attack him.

Even if the druids and elves are merciful and won't kill him, they will definitely catch him.

Even if he escaped by chance, there must be a series of things after that.

The key to getting System out of this crisis is the derivative ability [Intuition] brought by [Perception].

If it wasn't for [intuition]'s early warning, being blocked in the lair by druids and elves, System could hardly have imagined what happened afterwards.

It is estimated that there will definitely be a plot where the Druid catches the turtle in the urn and his last stand.

As for the warning from [intuition], System suddenly remembered an event from a long time ago.

Not long before the eruption of the volcano in the Lierte Mountains, Ola, the lord of the glacier, came to him once and said that his eyes were very special.

Ora also conjures a giant ice puck and asks what his eyes see.

System didn't know what the glacier lord was doing at the time. When the glacier lord disappeared, he left the ice ball on the spot.

System used [System's Eye] to observe carefully for a while, but unfortunately he still didn't find anything.

But a few days later, when System passed the ice ball that was several meters high again, he suddenly found that the ice ball disappeared at some point. Instead, a tree carved from ice crystals and a tree appeared. Ground slag.

A few days later, the tree made of ice crystals also shattered, completely turning into ice slag.

At that time, System hadn't figured it out, but now System suddenly thought of something.

Perhaps at that time, Aura also felt some precursors of the volcanic eruption, so she came to him and asked about his eyes.

System’s ability to listen to the sounds of the world is [Perception], and whether it is [Intuition], [Eye of System], [Enhanced Hearing] and [Enhanced Smell] are all derived abilities of [Perception].

Aura thinks his eyes are special, perhaps not because of his eyes themselves, but his talent [perception], or his [intuition].

Although he can't explain the principle, in some respects, his [intuition] has some predictive abilities, just like a vague [prophecy].

So what Ola showed him was not a simple ice hockey, but a tree ice sculpture that the ice hockey would turn into in a few days.

System knew that no matter how strengthened the pure [System's Eye] was, it would not be able to reach the predicted level. At most, it would only make his vision clearer and his ability to see through stronger, but Sith Tem suddenly thought of a possibility.

That is to combine [System's Eye] and [Intuition] ability to form [System's Eye]. Perhaps by then, he will have the real [Prophecy] ability.

However, with his current abilities, it is too difficult to combine these two abilities, it is tantamount to fantasy.

System estimates that at least his [Perception] talent must reach level 31, which is a level higher than the level of extraordinary power, before he can master the real prophecy ability.

……

In the midair of the rainy night, System shook his head, did not continue to think, and began to return to the lair in the direction he remembered.

During the flight, System carefully watched the movement around him, avoiding the druid and the elf from going back and looking for him again.

After an hour of escaping, System flew nearly fifty kilometers.

During the return process, System encountered more than a dozen slimes one after another. These slimes, which could not be hidden under the scorching sun, popped up one after another in the heavy rain, and jumped back and forth in the rain, which looked extraordinarily beautiful. excited.

Because he had just escaped the crisis, System was not in the mood to reminisce with these slime friends.

After thinking for a while, System gave up on bringing these slime friends back to the lair, and flew straight to his lair.

And when System returned to the lair, something happened after all. Even though the red blood was washed away by the rain, it still hadn't completely faded, and there was still some faint smell of blood.

Shava, who practiced rainwater at the entrance of the lair, was also missing.

However, although things were a little weird, System's [intuition] didn't feel any uneasiness.

Although there is a lot of blood, the blood of bugs is generally white, and these red bloods obviously have nothing to do with bugs.

After returning to the lair, System realized that it was Shava who discovered and captured another rat man.

Shava cut off the shoulder of the rat man, and he was on the verge of death due to excessive blood loss.

Different from the Ratman warrior wearing simple leather armor in the dungeon, the coarse cloth clothes on this Ratman were torn, and mixed with muddy water and blood gave off a strange smell.

System subconsciously wanted to stretch out his tentacles to tear off a bit of the rag to taste, but realizing his action, System immediately stopped.

System felt more and more that his habit was very bad.

According to Shava and Black's description, the rat man seemed to want to sneak into the nest, but was driven out of the nest by the soldier ant knight Xiaoqiang who was on patrol and had a strong physique.

Because of being attacked by Xiaoqiang, the Rat Man screamed. Shava, who had been practicing swordsmanship, finally noticed the movement and cut off the Rat Man's arm.

"Did you find my lair to avoid the heavy rain? But didn't the Ratman already foresee the coming of the rainy season?"

"Could it be that the ratmen in the ratman gathering place and ordinary ratmen don't communicate with each other?"

System thought to himself, and at the same time used the faint green halo that appeared on the surface of the tentacles to heal the rat man's wound.

The green halo comes from the [Healing Power] inherited from the Golden Acorn, and it has a certain effect on healing wounds.

However, this kind of healing power is ineffective against poisoning, and it has no effect on the plague germs. Instead, it will promote the breeding of plague germs.

In fact, this kind of power only accelerates the self-healing ability of the organism itself, and the plague bacteria actually belong to life, so they will become more active after being affected by the [Healing Power].

Following the green halo on System's tentacles, the blood on the Rat Man's shoulders gradually stopped flowing, and some granulation sprouted to completely seal the blood vessels, and the Rat Man's breathing gradually became calmer in a coma.

The rat man in a coma muttered something, it was a language completely different from the rat man language, and this language System just knew that it was the [Word of Plague] of the evil god Rafal.
