Chapter 60: The Plague

Honoror followed the path the corpse pointed, the pyramid that was originally far away on the horizon got closer and closer, and before he knew it, the corpse's trajectory disappeared around the abyssal labyrinth. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Speaking of which, the carcasses didn't seem to have been eaten by other animals. ”

Honoror thought of the question.

Generally speaking, after a monster dies in the forest, its corpse will be eaten by other monsters, let alone such a large number of corpses.

"Aryfia, is there anything wrong with these corpses?"

Honoror stared at Aryfia on his shoulder, and the boy shook his head vigorously and said to him, "It stinks, it doesn't taste good." ”

"Even Alysphia didn't want to eat it, and there was a problem. ”

Honoror crouched down, feeling a little disgusting, but he still put his palm on the corpse of a giant bee ant.

"Lord Divine Know, find out the cause of this thing's death. ”

[Understand.] 】

Lord Divine Knower replied, and the glow of Onor's power began to pour into the corpse.

A faint blue light flowed between Honoror and the white ant corpse, and in a few moments, the voice of Lord Shenzhi sounded in the depths of his heart.

[After the analysis is completed, it is determined that the blood in the creature's body has completely disappeared, and it is unable to maintain the operation of the body and dies.] 】

"Sure enough, it's a blood problem. ”

This answer is consistent with Ornoor's speculation.

"The blood of the corpse is gone, can you tell the reason for the disappearance?"

[It is determined that the group is infected with the disease.] 】

"You mean there's a plague?"

[Explanation, the corpse contains a large number of schistosomiasis eggs, which are currently in the hatching period, please be careful not to touch them.] 】

As soon as Lord Shenzhi's voice fell, Honor's fingers suddenly ached, as if he had been pricked by a needle.

"Schistosomiasis...... Is that it?"

Onoor raised his finger, and sure enough, he found that a small white worm had emerged from the cracked shell of the corpse, not only in the corpse, but also in the white bug.

Now the little worm wanted to pierce Honor's skin and burrow into his body, but this was just the body that Honoror conjured up with his radiant power, and it was not impossible for the worm to parasitize.

With a gentle pinch, Honore pinched the little bug on his finger to death.

Then he stood up with some disgust, ready to stay away from the bugs.

[Schistosomiasis, hazard rating B, parasitic Warcraft, often parasitic in the body of Warcraft for egg-laying, newly hatched larvae will have a strong homing urge, will manipulate the host body to homing. 】

"Hmm...... So these schistosomes are outbreaking in a disease-like way in giant bee ant colonies, which is why they are in the current situation?"

If Ornoor was right, those schistosomes should have escaped from the abyssal labyrinth.

The mother escaped from the labyrinth to find the giant bee ants to lay eggs, and then the hatching larvae drove the parasitic beasts to the abyssal labyrinth like the walking dead because of their homing instincts.

Unfortunately, the larvae could not move before reaching the body of the maze host, and could only continue to lie dormant in the corpse and wait for the next reproduction.

In this way, the so-called schistosomiasis is somewhat similar to the virus on Earth.

Sure enough, the mutation of the labyrinth has greatly affected the nearby forest.

Not only Honor, but something else escaped from the labyrinth.

Because of that change, this Abyss forest is now quietly undergoing earth-shaking changes in the dark.

If these things have nothing to do with Honor, it is naturally impossible. But to make Honore responsible, it is estimated that it is even more impossible.

"What a problem, what if all the giant bees and ants die?"

Honore looked at the puppy-sized corpses on the ground, he had thought of having giant bee ants as laborers, but he didn't want to die before he could start negotiations.

【Ding!】

While Honoror was troubled, Lord Shinchi seemed to have good news for him.

[Discover the entrance to the giant bee ant's nest and sense the signs of activity of the remaining living organisms.] 】

"Huh, so soon?"

The algorithm has been adjusted. 】

"Uh...... Is it true that Lord God knows that he is also going to constantly optimize the code?"

【……】

Today's Divine Knowledge is like a sophisticated computer, each function has its program logic in it, and therefore, if the logic is wrong, there will be so-called bugs, and at this time, the only way to speed up work efficiency is to continuously optimize the algorithm.

Since there was no response, Ono decided to put aside the joke that might cause him to strike, and he turned his attention back to what he had just heard.

"There are signs of life activity, which means there are still giant bee ants alive?"

[Species could not be determined.] 】

"I see, then Lord Divine will send me the location of the entrance to the lair first. ”

Oror opened the magic guide book, and as the magic guide book shone brightly, the map around the forest appeared in front of Oror again.

Only this time the map has been expanded, and the front of the labyrinth where Honoror is located has been included in the new map.

Then, the nearest lair exit was two hundred meters outside the labyrinth.

Honoror hurriedly got up and flew in that direction, and when he fell back to the ground, he found an entrance and exit obscured by corpses.

At that time, the entrance to the cave was just enough for giant ants and sparks to enter and exit, and it must have been quite narrow for ordinary people.

Fortunately, Honor's body was only a young boy, and Honor's body was only a young boy, and Honor's heart thought for a while, and said that he should be able to pass it.

So he fell to the entrance of the cave and dragged away the corpse with his foot.

In the meantime, because of the movement too strongly, the small white insects crawled out of the empty shell one after another, and the heart of Honoror who saw it panicked.

He bolded himself to continue clearing the hole, then bent down, and was able to move through the path of the lair.

"Hmm......"

As soon as Honoror entered the cave, he smelled a foul odor.

Before, because he was in the forest, he didn't smell the stench in Aryphia's mouth, but at this time, the passage was narrow, and there were many corpses blocked in the passage, and the rancid smell was finally smelled by Ornoor.

It was undoubtedly a new host that the struggling Schistosoma larvae were trying to find, and the smell of corpse decay was trying to lure unsuspecting monsters into their possession.

Although it does not appear that there are any corpses of other victims other than giant bee ants, it is possible that they are in the incubation period.

"Sure enough, let's burn it. ”

Onorr checked the distance of the survivors in the passage to him, and the signs of life activity detected by the gods were still a long way from this entrance, so that Oror could use fire magic to clear the way.

Honoror snapped his fingers into the air, and the flames sparked in his hands, and then the flames ignited the corpses in front of him, and the entire passage burned.
