Law of the Swarm

Chapter 121 Funny Butterfly

According to System's understanding, the source of the plague should be a treasure with the power of the plague, maybe a bead or something.

So after thinking for a while, System stopped thinking about it.

System naturally didn't know that the source of the plague mentioned by the rat man warrior was the [plague mucus] in his throat glands.

It is even more impossible to know that the Ratman has repeatedly cultivated the secondary plague produced by him [plague slime] before the rainstorm, and named this plague "gift".

At this time, this "gift" plague had been thrown into the river flowing through a gnoll city by several ratman wizards in Helencia during the rainstorm.

The city's gnolls will soon be infected by the plague.

Different from common plagues, although the plague bacteria formed by the mixture of System's jelly is very poor in infectivity, and its destructive power is not as good as many kinds of plagues that the Ratmen have, it takes one to two days for the lethal effect.

But this plague is extremely active, and unless there is an expensive exorcism that can eliminate all germs, there is no cheap medicine that can cure this plague.

Because of the defeat of the Gnolls in Liert Forest, and with the coming of the storm, the Skaven fought back against the overlord of the Warren Plain for the first time.

……

……

System didn't know anything about the busy Ratmen and Gnolls during the rainstorm. These days, he had been resting quietly in his lair, sometimes going out to investigate and bringing back some slimes in the rain.

After soaking in clear rainwater for a long time, some of the slime's gelatin will inevitably melt. It is estimated that if the rain continues like this, the slime is likely to die due to the rain.

In some respects, System still saved the lives of these slimes.

However, because there are too many slimes, most of these rescued slimes will be eaten by him and the ants in a short time.

……

The long rainy season lasted for nearly half a month without ending.

Fortunately, the water level near System's lair didn't continue to rise. After reaching a depth of half a meter, it grew extremely slowly. System didn't know the specific reason.

In the past half month, neither the Ratmen nor the Druids appeared again, and not even half of the ordinary mice appeared.

The entrance of System's cave seems to be an isolated island in a large lake. Only one or two slimes occasionally appear in the water, or one or two fish swim by, and everything seems to have calmed down.

The dark clouds in the sky gradually became brighter, and System estimated that the rainy season would end in a few days.

For half a month, System thought that there would be no problems in the underground lair, but System still miscalculated, or didn't expect it.

Because the excavator operation strengthened the outer wall of the nest channel a lot, no rainwater seeped down from the top of the tunnel.

However, he paid too much attention to the infiltration of rainwater from above, and System ignored the rise of the groundwater level after the rain fell.

It turned out that System was out of control when he found it, and the five-meter area at the bottom of the lair had already been submerged by groundwater these days.

And in this flooded area, there is an empty room where the deformed butterfly Ola lives. For this reason, Ola will send out disdainful spiritual messages every time she sees System these days.

However, Ola has changed a lot since he broke out of the chrysalis. Although he is lazy, he can at least communicate normally.

Especially for Black, although Ola always calls Black on weekdays, she also takes good care of Black.

The two bugs have come down these days and get along very well.

Normally, Black would often go to Orla's empty room to learn the manipulation of ice spells, and Black would also accompany Orla to play backgammon.

In addition to his hobby of collecting treasures, Ola seems to like the small game of backgammon. Every time he plays the game, Ola will create an exquisite ice crystal chessboard, and create equally exquisite white and ice blue chess pieces.

Against Black, although Ola lost more than he won, System felt that Ola was better than him.

So facing the provocation of the deformed butterfly in backgammon, System has always chosen to avoid and not fight.

System had to admit that if this deformed butterfly used its brain, it would still be smarter than him.

……

"Wang, can... can I trouble you with one thing?"

Researching in the lair as usual, System, who used glowing mushrooms to cultivate fluorescent slimes, heard another request from Black.

There is no need for Black to say more about the content of the request. According to Black's somewhat embarrassed mood, System has already guessed about it.

"Speak."

System put down the gelatin, and it was very easy to grow fluorescent mushrooms, especially after obtaining some breeding methods for the plague from the ratman wizard, System brought great inspiration to the cultivation of mushrooms, and the process of growing mushrooms was also very easy. faster and faster.

It's just that the process of using fluorescent mushrooms to generate fluorescent slimes is very difficult, and System has made no progress after several days of research.

Seeing that System stopped what he was doing, Black sent an extremely weak mental message: "Can you restore Aura's wings?"

After putting the small pieces of slime into the ratman wizard's bottle and plugging the cap, System asked, "Or did he ask you to tell me?"

"Yes, she told me not to tell you." Black continued to send out weak spiritual messages, looking very embarrassed.

"This is the fifth time..."

"Yes... six times."

System shook his head lightly, and took the lead towards the new empty room where Ola was, and Black followed behind him.

During these half a month, Black made several requests to System, wanting System to use [Insect Ability Activation] to activate Aura's [Regeneration of Severed Limbs] ability, so that the butterfly could regain its ability to fly. ability.

System didn't shirk either, and went to try to repair Aura's wings every time.

It's not that System's ability to repair is not good, it needs him to repeatedly activate Aura's [regeneration of severed limbs] ability.

Rather, every time System proposed to restore Aura's wings, Aura would solemnly refuse.

In Ola's words, it's good that his wings have become like this.

Since Ola said that every time, System had no reason to persevere. Every time he heard Ola say that, he would turn around and leave.

But every time after leaving, Ola would find Black in private and ask Black to ask System to repair his wings again.

This kind of thing happened once or twice, it was okay, it happened three times, it was a bit unpleasant, but now it has happened five times, no, six times.

According to Black's words, this Ola seems to want System to beg him, and let System beg him to repair the wings.

But there is no such reason in the world.

It was obvious that System wanted to help him with good intentions, but he still asked System to give up his face and beg him.

System couldn't do it.

……

"My wings are fine, I don't need you to fix them." Seeing System's arrival, Aura directly ordered System to be driven away.

According to the past, System would turn around and leave, but this time System surprisingly did not leave.

System sensed some excitement and anticipation from Aura's spiritual message, he opened his fangs slightly, and smiled: "No, I'm not here to repair your wings, but to give you Those who play videos, do you know movies?"

"Movie? What is that?" Ola seemed confused.

System patiently explained: "You can understand it as a skit, a drama, just like the mental image I once passed on to you."

"what do you want to say?"

Ola's spiritual message was full of doubts, System ignored it, and continued to send the spiritual message: "The movie I want to bring to you is called "Funny Butterfly", with a total length of 10 minutes and 40 seconds. The story of a butterfly is very interesting."
