Law of the Swarm

Chapter 131 The Undead of Warren Plain
"The toxicity is not very strong, and the experience points provided are not bad. If you are really hungry, it should be food, but the taste is really terrible."

After spitting out the Gnoll's rotten meat, System thought for a while and tore off a piece, put it back in his mouth, and analyzed the meat.

Although the flesh and blood of the undead creatures in this world is unpalatable and poisonous, it is not completely fatal to living creatures, or it is not fatal to insects.

Life and death will always reincarnate each other, even undead creatures that represent death cannot avoid this. There are many germs living on the bodies of such undead creatures, and these germs are still alive and well.

In terms of taste, zombie rotten meat has a feeling similar to stinky tofu. If this rotten meat is salty, System may still be able to accept it.

But it's a pity that the taste of this rotten meat is sweet, and the taste reminds System of a fruit from his previous life - durian.

System tried to eat a small piece again, but still couldn't accept the taste.

[Body - Colloid Transformation] activates.

System manipulated the two tentacles to use the new power he gained in the third chrysalis.

Ten seconds later, System's two tentacles transformed into purple-black [plague slime] gelatinous tentacles, and at the same time squirmed the gelatin onto the corpse of the Gnoll zombie.

The power of [Body-Colloid Transformation] is very easy for System to control, but it takes a little longer to cast, and it takes more than ten seconds to complete the transformation. It has not reached System's ideal of ignoring physical slashing. Degree.

And this ability can't turn all of his body into jelly. Currently, it can only transform 5% of his body, which is only about four tentacles.

But no matter what, this ability to transform the body into jelly will strengthen System's body's recovery ability again.

When the body is injured, he only needs to convert the wound into gelatin, and then convert the gelatin into the body, and the body can be repaired. The vitality consumed is much less than that of [Super Speed ​​​​Regeneration] and [Aggregation of Severed Limbs].

Not only that, the ability of [Body-Gel Transformation] has now been acquired by System, as long as it continues to be strengthened in the future, it will definitely be able to transform the body and gel at will.

……

Without continuing to think about it, System manipulated [Plague Mucus] to gradually wrap the corpse of the wolf man zombie, and used glue to assimilate the germs in the wolf man's body.

It is basically the same as System's experiment with [Plague Slime] a year ago. When these infected sore juices come into contact with [Plague Slime], the purple-black juice quickly turns into the same glue as [Plague Slime]. quality.

Five minutes later, the [plague mucus] glue on the Gnoll's corpse was three times as large as before, and was sucked back into his body by System.

System's two tentacles returned to their original state. At the same time, due to the recovery of excess [Plague Slime], System's vitality increased from 80% to 91%, and his experience bar also increased by 5%.

And with the recovery of these [plague mucus], the rotten flesh on the wolf man's body seemed to become extremely soft and fragile, as long as the remaining rotten flesh was touched a little, it would fall off from the wolf man's body.

If a living Gnoll zombie encounters System's ability, it is very likely that it will transform from a Gnoll zombie into a Gnoll skeleton.

However, System is not sure whether the skeletons transformed from zombies by System can survive, and he still needs more experiments.

Stretching out his tentacles, System tore off a small piece of rotten meat again and put it in his mouth.

The sweetness of the rotten meat that lost the plague bacteria was a little weaker, the smell was similar to before, the taste was still unpalatable, and the experience value provided was also reduced.

Throwing away the rotten meat held by the tentacles, System looked at the bored Shava and said, "Will slimes eat this kind of rotten meat?"

Shava showed a seemingly puzzled expression, and after thinking for a while, she replied: "Whether slimes will eat these rotten meats, Black knows, and Linda should know too."

"I shouldn't have asked you this question..." Shaking his head helplessly, System continued to ask: "Forget it, what have you usually eaten this past year?"

"Toads, slimes, snakes, bugs... and black birds."

This time, Shava's answer was very quick, and she also said a lot of things. It seems that during the period of System's pupation, although there have been great changes in the Warren Plain, the lives of the ants have not been significantly affected. Influence.

"After the rain this summer, are there as many toads as there were last year?"

"Well, there are many. Black also took me to remember many places where the toads were hidden."

Hearing Shava's answer, System knew that it seemed that the undead creatures produced in the Warren Plain had no effect on toads, and should have no obvious effect on cold-blooded animals.

……

After continuing to communicate with Shava for a while, System flew into the sky again and looked around.

System speculated that the undead creatures that appeared in the Warren Plain should be some necromancers, or existences similar to liches. They used the plague germs in the corpses of the gnolls killed by [plague slime] to release the plague Diffusion into water sources, thus producing a large number of corpses and creating a large number of undead.

But whether this is the case, System is not very clear, he still needs to conduct more investigation and analysis.

But no matter how you say it, the current disaster in the Warren Plain is undoubtedly good news for System and his people.

The elves in Lierte Forest took the initiative to close the passage to Warren Forest, and after a year and a half, those druids should not come to him again.

And the threat of the Ratmen that System had been worrying about before no longer existed. These Ratmen were no longer able to protect themselves, so they definitely wouldn't come to trouble him for nothing.

The current Warren Plain still has sufficient food, and his ant people can breed and grow with peace of mind.

……

System kept looking around in the sky, and System, an undead creature resembling a gnoll zombie, quickly found a dozen more within a range of ten kilometers nearby.

There is a ratman zombie, and a jackal zombie, and the rest are two zombie wolves and ten zombie antelopes.

According to the description between Shava's words, she also found a living mouse a few days ago.

However, after observing for nearly an hour, System did not find the live rabbit or mouse that Shava mentioned.

Because of the existence of these undead creatures, System really wanted to find a small warm-blooded animal to conduct experiments with these undead creatures, to see if the undead creatures would actively attack these warm-blooded animals.

But now it seems that if you want to find these small animals that survived, it depends on fate, and you can't find them if you search deliberately...
