Laws of the Insect Hive

Naturally, System did not know the fear of the rat-man wizard in this cave, let alone the cunning rat-man sorcerer who poisoned him every day and sent mice with plague.

In fact, the plague of Rat Man has little effect on cold-blooded insects, snakes, and lizards.

Since the level of [Teleportation] can sense mushrooms and slimes, System can feel a lot of fungal life in him every day, and the deadly plague possessed by rat people, System is only Thought it was a common germ.

Only after the wound is exposed to the plague germs will there be some effect, but that only makes the wound less easy to heal, and will not have a fatal effect on the insects in a short time.

The same was true after System was shot by the plague poison arrow. The poison arrow made his wounds not easy to heal, and the [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] ability could not work.

Fortunately, his [Teleportation] can sense the emotions of germs. Although he cannot control these germs like a slime, he can clearly perceive the location of these germs.

Throw away some of the flesh and blood containing the plague bacteria, and his [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] will work again, otherwise it may take a few days for his wound to heal completely.

...

This rat-man cave is obviously much larger than the ordinary rat-man cave, nearly 30 meters long, with more than ten layers of passages up and down, and hundreds of passages leading in all directions.

However, unlike ordinary rat-man caves, there is no air circulation in this cave, and it seems that there is only one entrance.

The entire underground passage was like a maze. System searched for more than ten minutes and found no trace of a mouse.

Even with the image data of the database in the [Tools Menu], System was inevitably lost, and he had already circled around several times in some places.

As for Shava, who was following System next to her, she did not notice that they had lost their way, and was still in high spirits. It seemed that as long as System was by her side, she didn’t have to worry about anything at all.

But it didn't take long for System, who kept circling in the mouse cave, to finally find the key to breaking through the maze.

It turned out that it wasn't just a large rock outside the Ratman's cave that acted as an illusion.

There are also some hallucinatory "walls" in the tunnels of the Ratman's cave.

The fake "walls" that appear on both sides of the relatively spacious and straight passages are indeed deceptive. If it weren't for the ability to recognize the outline of things in System [Tools Menu], System would not be able to spot it. these hidden passages.

Perhaps the ratmen in this ratman cave took this into consideration and did not create multiple exits from the nest.

Because there are too many exits, there will undoubtedly be some flowing wind in the cave. If there is a wind blowing from the wall, there will undoubtedly be a huge flaw, which will make enemies who break into the cave notice.

But now with these “walls” acting as hallucinations guiding him along the way, System could easily find the correct path.

The Rat Man may not understand the truth about the combination of the true and the false, and the combination of the virtual and the real. All the hallucinatory "walls" point to the correct and only path.

After crossing the two "walls", System saw a few shivering mice as he wished.

One of the little mice had a distinctly different look from the other mice. Although it also showed a fearful expression, it was more humane.

While System was not paying attention, the little mouse suddenly accelerated and ran in the opposite direction System was going. It seemed that it was controlled by the Ratman and wanted to lead System and Shava away. .

However, it hadn't run far before it was cut in half by Shava's blade, and the other little mice were killed one after another at System's direction.

...

After killing more than a dozen little mice, System finally came to the room at the end of the cave. Outside the room, he saw a round wooden door with a ring-shaped metal handle on it. some faint light.

This rat man spellcaster doesn't seem to have the means to create attack-type traps. Except for some hallucinatory "walls", System came here and was not attacked by anything, and there is nothing unusual about this wooden door.

Shava easily pushed open the wooden door, revealing a square room of more than ten square meters at the end of the cave. System found two bright spherical crystals on the wall, which acted as lighting.

The room was very clean. After System came to this world, it was the first time he saw a bed with a cotton mattress, a simple bookshelf with a dozen books on it, and a strange stone statue. .

The statue depicts a strange figure like smoke. System had seen a similar wooden statue before exploring the Rat Man's lair, but it was not as detailed as this one.

Slightly glanced at the interior decoration of the room, System looked at the rat man spellcaster who was sitting on the chair, wearing a gray robe.

System could sense some fear in the eyes of the Rat Man spellcaster.

But it was clear that this rat man was not afraid of System, but Shava, who had killed countless rats.

The Rat Man spellcaster didn't do anything, but murmured some Rat Man's words to Shava, and System didn't understand what the Rat Man was saying.

Of course, Shava is even more impossible to understand.

Snapped--

As if it was a faint sound of electric current, the two bright spheres in the room suddenly went out.

Between the lightning and flint, a rat-man with scarlet eyes suddenly sprang out of nowhere in the room. It slashed at Shava's head with two daggers with silver luster.

The clanging sound in the room kept ringing, and Shava blocked the Red-Eyed Ratman's dagger, but didn't kill him immediately.

Shava's strength is stronger than the Red-Eyed Rat Man, but the Red-Eyed Rat Man's attack speed is faster, and the Red-Eyed Rat Man seems to be in a state of madness, and his attacks are crazy.

The strength of this red-eyed ratman seems to be stronger than that of ordinary gnoll warriors, and seems to be evenly matched with Shava.

Since the target of this red-eyed rat man was not System at all, Shava, who could not feel the crisis, showed extremely limited strength.

However, the situation of the battle soon changed, and the rat man spellcaster who was sitting in the chair stood up.

The Rat Man wizard stretched out his sharp fingers, and along with the unknown words of the Rat Man wizard, a green ball of light appeared at the Rat Man's fingertips.

The Rat Man wizard pointed the ball of light on his fingertips at not Shava, who was fighting with the red-eyed Rat Man, but System, who was still watching.

ended……

If the Rat Man wizard didn't get involved, maybe the red-eyed rat man would have fought with Shava for a long time, but as the rat man wizard's green ball of light was fired, the red-eyed rat man was instantly descended like a god, and white light gushed out from his body. The dazed Shava was cut in half.

Shava moved quickly, blocking the ten-centimeter-sized green light bullet in front of System.

The Rat Man wizard did not continue to attack, but screamed strangely as if he had fallen into madness. At the same time, its face showed a look of horror. This time it was not looking at Shava, but System.

From Shava's actions to protect System, the Rat Man wizard seems to have distinguished the priority between him and Shava.

The Rat Man wizard doesn't know the laws of Shava's abilities at all. It should be that he and Shava have extraordinary powers and are deliberately playing tricks on it.

However, just when System thought that the victory was in his hands and that the rat-man wizard who had lost his will to fight could be captured by him, System’s [intuition] suddenly felt a sense of unease.

Without giving System time to think about it, the Rat Man wizard's body suddenly inflated eerily like an inflated balloon, and at the same time as Shava slashed, it exploded!

Shava stood in front of System, blocking all the black flesh that exploded.

However, although Shava blocked these black blood and black flesh, she failed to block a strange black light.

The black dim light bypassed Shava and entered System's body.

System feels bad...
