Law of the Swarm

Chapter 130 The Undead of Warren Plain
"What happened in the past year and a half?"

System turned his head to look around in the sky, and the entire Warren Plain seemed to be shrouded in a layer of gray smoke, but this layer of smoke was very special and would not block System's sight.

Because of the green fog in Lierte Forest, System could no longer see clearly the former gathering place of elves, but System saw one or two figures in silver-white armor patrolling near the vine wall, they should be elves soldiers.

As for the ratman gathering place more than 100 kilometers away to the west, there is no trace of any ratmen there.

Many of the exits of the Ratmen's caves have been covered by some withered weeds at this time, and there should be no Ratmen in the Ratman gathering place.

Or there are still ratmen, but the number of ratmen is extremely rare.

Turning his gaze to look around, System soon discovered that just behind a small slope about three kilometers away from him, there was a wolf man with a festering body wandering aimlessly.

Falling from the sky, a few minutes later, System and Shava came to the wolf man as they wished.

The Gnoll's gaze was dull, or there was no gaze, because its eyeballs had become cloudy due to rot, its mouth was slightly open, and some black-purple liquid flowed out from the festered jaw from time to time, and there was basically no intact skin on the whole body. The brown hair is basically covered with dark brown blood scabs and rotten flesh.

From time to time, the wolf man's mouth made strange movements, like a snoring sound, matching the wolf man's current appearance, it was a bit disgusting and terrifying.

However, the appearance of the jackal did not frighten System.

In fact, with System's current strange appearance, it was not much different from this rotten Gnoll zombie.

On the other side, Shava was born with no feelings of fear. At this time, she was rubbing the double blades on her forelimbs. She would chop this weird and unpalatable wolf man as soon as System gave an order. into two halves.

……

Instructing Shava not to do anything yet, System carefully observed the jackal in front of him.

The appearance of this jackal is basically the same as the zombies in the game world of System's previous life, but the main body of the zombies has changed from humans to jackals.

As System and Shava approached, the zombie Gnoll didn't change much, and kept wandering aimlessly, turning a blind eye to System and Shava.

I don't know if the zombies in this world are so dull, or if these gnoll zombies are not interested in bugs.

System tried to throw dirt at the zombie gnoll.

System found that when the mud hit the jackal zombie, the jackal would quickly turn around and run towards the direction where the stone was thrown.

However, the running speed of the Gnoll Zombie was really not very fast. System could easily dodge the running Gnoll, and the Gnoll Zombie who missed System would continue to run forward.

The running jackal had traveled a full distance of 100 meters before returning to its original state, and continued to wander aimlessly.

What made System feel strange was that in the process of brushing past the Gnoll, System felt a familiar aura from the zombie.

To be precise, it was the black-purple mucus that flowed from the festering flesh of the zombie, which made System feel kind and familiar.

"Could it be a gnoll infected by [plague mucus]?"

System subconsciously let out a hoarse and weird muttering sound. Because the vocal cords in his throat were not very skilled, his voice was extremely hoarse, and it sounded not too different from the howling of a zombie.

[Probe Analysis] Launch!

System used the new ability he obtained after his third pupation.

With the use of this ability, System could feel that part of the information in the zombie's body began to appear in System's mind.

……

Species: Gnoll Zombie (renameable)
Height: 1.98-1.99 meters

Weight: 70-80 kg
Estimated combat power: 2-13
special:-
……

What this [probing analysis] ability shows is really not very detailed, especially the range of estimated combat power is several times higher and lower.

However, when System continues to use [Detective Analysis] to observe this jackal, the value of [Detective Analysis] will gradually become more accurate.

According to the feelings of [Detection Analysis], System knew that if he used his tentacles to wrap [Perception] on this jackal, he would get more detailed and accurate information.

Using [Probe Analysis] to continuously observe the Gnoll Zombie for nearly 3 minutes, the combat effectiveness of the Gnoll Zombie has been reduced to a range of 6-9.

But when System used the [Detection Analysis] ability to detect Shava, the results he got surprised System.

……

Species: Soldier Ant Knight (renameable)

Height: 0.61 meters

Weight: 13-17 kg
Estimated combat power: 1-7
special:-
……

System didn't know the principle of this [Detective Analysis] ability, but the combat power of Gnoll Zombie was 6-9, while Shava's combat power was 1-7 obviously not logical.

One must know that Shava could easily cut this jackal in half.

"Shava, kill this jackal man!"

Following the spiritual message sent by System, a layer of faint white light appeared on Shava's body, and in an instant, the gnoll zombie was split in half by Shava from top to bottom.

System saw a fleeting light blue flame from the gnoll's head that had been turned into two halves, just like the soul fire in the brain of an undead creature in a fantasy world.

However, compared to the flickering flames on the Wolf Man's head, the new data displayed by [Probe Analysis] surprised System even more.

The moment Shava activated his ability, Shava's combat power soared to 150-350, and when Shava regained his calm, Shava's combat power dropped to the original 1-7 again.

Then, with System's continuous observation, Shava's combat power finally remained constant between 5-6.

This [Detection Analysis] ability is obviously not as useful as System imagined. Although there is an upper and lower limit for the detection of combat power, if the target erupts with unknown power, the upper and lower limits of combat power will fluctuate again.

Perhaps in the future, the ability level of this [Probe Analysis] will be improved, and more things may be seen.

……

Slightly shaking his head, System moved to the corpse of the Gnoll Zombie, and at the same time stretched out his tentacles to investigate the festering wounds of the Gnoll Zombie.

As System felt before, the festering wound on the wolf man zombie's body was indeed caused by the germs of [plague mucus].

It is very possible that this jackal died because of the germs of [Plague Mucus].

However, the germs of [Plague Mucus] obviously won't turn the Wolf Man into a zombie. There are other things in the flesh and blood of this Wolf Man, exuding a strange rotten smell, a magical power with a breath of death.

System stretched out his tentacles and tore off a small piece of flesh from the wolf man zombie and put it in his mouth.

After the faint smell of sweet milk, System tasted the stench for the first time, and at the same time spat out the food in his mouth.

This was the first time that System felt a little disgusted with food.
