Laws of the Insect Hive

Although illiterate, female rat people still have the ability to speak

System had planned to interrogate the female rat man for a few days, asking the female rat man more things, but after only two days, the female rat man died.

Because System was unable to make a sound, he could only use his tentacles to torture him. In addition, the female Rat Man was not in very good physical condition. After a whole day, System and Black only understood a few Rat Man words.

It was because System had [Plague Word] that he could guess some sporadic Rat Man language.

...

The female rat-man first became hot, and after a day it became unconscious, with some thick purple-black sores on her body, and then died shaking.

The corpse of the tragically killed female rat became very unpalatable and exuded a stench, neither he nor the ordinary ant people liked to eat this kind of food very much.

His ant people will even have some toxic reactions when they eat this kind of mouse carcass. The body twitches from time to time, but it is not fatal. As long as they stop eating this kind of mouse carcass, they will slowly improve.

System found that the thick sores that came out of the female rat corpse became very strange. He could feel some intimacy from those thick sores, just like his [Plague Slime], but the sap from these thick sores could not be washed away. He controls.

However, although it cannot be controlled, when System spit on these thick sores with [Plague Slime], the sap produced by the thick sores will merge with [Plague Slime] to gradually form more [Plague Slime], and Can be manipulated and recycled by his body.

These recovered [Plague Slime] can quickly replenish his vitality, just like the life potion in previous games and novels.

By now, even the sluggish System could understand that the death of the Rat Man should have been caused by the [Plague Slime] on his body.

It should be that when he practiced the control of [Plague Slime] before, the slime splashed some of the hapless female rat man, infecting the rat man with the plague germs.

It seemed that the germs in the bottles and jars of the rat-man wizards were not useless as System had always thought, but they just happened to have no effect on insects.

This plague is effective on mice, but has little or no effect on insects.

System speculates that this plague should be effective on warm-blooded warm-blooded animals, but not cold-blooded animals.

...

This was confirmed by System's tests of his [Plague Slime] on some mice and some grassy insects and arthropods over the next few days.

His [Plague Slime] really only has an effect on life with constant blood temperature, whether it is insects, scorpions, or fish and shrimp in the water, it has no obvious effect.

But his [Plague Slime] is extremely lethal to rats. Not only the splashing mucus can infect creatures, but as long as the smell of his [Plague Slime] is smelled by the rats, after a few hours, the rats will Symptoms of body heat will appear.

After a day or two, the rat's body becomes covered with sores, and then it oozes pus and dies.

If his [plague mucus] came into contact with the body's skin, the rat accelerated the two-day experience of smelling the rat within six hours, oozing pus and dying.

System felt that the female rat-man who died before should not have touched his [Plague Slime], but only smelled the smell of [Plague Slime].

And if the wound on the rat comes into contact with [Plague Slime], or swallows [Plague Slime] directly through the mouth, the death time of the rat will be shortened to within an hour.

The mouse would keep rolling and tossing on the ground, and the body would grow black and purple sores at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then suddenly lost its life when the pain and struggle were the most intense...

...

The effect of [Plague Slime] is very powerful, but maybe the germs are fused with the living glue, so it is not very contagious.

Simple [Plague Slime], even if exposed to the air, will deal a fatal blow to the warm-blooded creatures that smell it; but the corpses of rats that have died with thick sores due to [Plague Slime] will also emit a foul smell, but this kind of The smell does not continue to spread the plague.

Of course, if the corpses of these germ-infected mice were force-fed to other mice, those mice would also die.

System, who was informed of the effects of the plague, also breathed a sigh of relief after testing the infectivity of [Plague Slime].

Because of his plague, the number of mice and birds was too low, which was definitely not a scene that System wanted to see.

After all, if the number of rodents and birds on the plains is drastically reduced due to the plague, insects without natural enemies will multiply rapidly and eat grasses.

When food is scarce, he will have to take his ant people again for the next migration.

...

...

During the past five days, System's plague experiment on mice went well.

Nothing special happened, and the Rat Man that System had been expecting to encounter did not reappear.

On the contrary, System found some tired gnoll warriors from the direction of Liert Forest and retreated, and some of the gnoll warriors were injured to varying degrees.

I don't know if it's because of the battle of the remnants of the Winter Legion, or because of some other reasons.

Because System was experimenting with [Plague Slime], and seeing these gnoll warriors, he also selected one of the gnoll teams that was very close to him, and briefly tested his [Plague Slime].

System changed the color of his body to disguise himself in the grass, and at the same time spit out a small amount of [Plague Slime] gelatin and put it on the path of the gnoll.

When the gnoll passed by, System controlled the mass of gel to explode suddenly, splashing onto the gnoll's body.

Perhaps [Plague Slime] has a certain corrosiveness, and the thirteen gnoll team rioted for a while.

But it didn't take long for the gnolls to continue on their way.

System didn't follow him either, just using [System's Eye] to look at it from a distance of several thousand meters.

These gnolls are far stronger than the ratmen, but their resistance to plague is lower than that of the ratmen and mice, and similar to the birds of the sky.

After only two hours, the gnoll warriors began to show symptoms of discomfort, and after another two hours, a gnoll died, and after another hour, except for one gnoll who seemed to have used something The means resisted the plague and fled, and the remaining twelve jackals all died.

Because the gnoll's traveling speed is not slow, in the first two hours when they were healthy, these gnolls had already walked nearly 50 kilometers, so System had no plans to go to observe the gnoll's corpse up close.

The Sith reckoned that if his [Plague Slime] spit into a gnoll warrior's body wound, it could kill the gnoll within a few minutes.

However, this only refers to ordinary gnolls. If he is promoted to magical or extraordinary gnolls, System does not know whether his plague is still effective.

...

Without thinking too much, the gnoll and him will not stand on opposite sides yet.

After returning from the experiment, System came to the side of the little meatball again. After these days of research, System finally made new progress in activating the talent [Body Transformation].

System also decided to activate the ability of [Body Transformation] in these few days.
