Chapter 107: The Effect of the Plague

Although illiterate, the female has the ability to speak

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

Because Heatham couldn't make a sound and could only torture with his tentacles, and the female nezumi had not been in good health since then, Heatham and Black had only learned a few words about the nezumi after a whole day.

It's still because Systm has the [Plague Language] relationship to be able to guess some sporadic nezumi language.

……

The female first had a fever, and after a day she became delirious and developed some purple-black sores on her body, before she died trembling.

The corpse of the female rat that died tragically became unpalatable and emitted a foul smell, which neither he nor the ordinary ant people liked to eat.

His ant people will even have some toxic reactions when they eat this kind of rat carcasse, and their bodies will twitch from time to time, but it is not fatal, as long as they no longer eat this kind of rat carcass, they will slowly get better.

Heatham noticed that the sores from the female rat's carcass had become very strange, and he could feel some intimate emotions in the sores, like his [plague slime], but the juice from the sores could not be controlled by him.

However, although it cannot be controlled, when Systm spits out these sores with [Plague Slime], the sap produced by the thick sores will merge with [Plague Slime] to gradually form more [Plague Slime], which can be manipulated and recovered by his body.

These recovered [Plague Mucus] can quickly replenish his life force, just like the life potion in past life games and novels.

By now, even the sluggish Sistm could understand that the nezumen's death was caused by the [Plague Slime] on him.

It must have been when he was practicing the control of [Plague Slime] before, and some of the slime splashed on the hapless female nezumi, infecting the nezumi with plague germs.

It seems that the germs in the bottles and jars of the nezumi wizard are not useless as Sistemm had always thought, but happen to have no effect on insects.

The plague is effective against rats, but has little or no effect on insects.

Heatham speculated that the plague was effective on hot-blooded homeotherms, but not on cold-blooded animals.

……

Over the next few days, Heatham tested his [plague slime] on some small rats and some insects and arthropods in the meadows.

His [Plague Slime] does only have an effect on life with a constant temperature of blood, not insects, scorpions, or fish and shrimp in the water.

But his [Plague Slime] is extremely lethal to rats, not only the splashed slime can infect living things, as long as the smell of his [Plague Slime] is smelled by rats, after a few hours, the rats will show symptoms of body fever.

After a day or two, the rat's body will be covered with rotten sores and then pus and die.

If his [Plague Mucus] comes into contact with the skin of his body, the rat will speed up to complete the two-day experience of smelling the rat within six hours, and will die of pus.

Sistemm sensed that the female nezumi who had died earlier should not have touched his [Plague Slime], but only smelled [Plague Slime].

If a rat's wound comes into contact with [Plague Mucus], or if it swallows [Plague Mucus] directly through its mouth, the time it takes for the rat to die will be reduced to less than an hour.

The rat will roll and toss on the ground, and its body will grow black and purple sores at a visible rate, and then suddenly lose its life when the pain and struggle are at its most intense......

……

[Plague Mucus] has a strong effect, but it may be due to the fusion of germs and living gums, so it is not very contagious.

The mere [Plague Slime], even when exposed to air, can be a fatal blow to the homeothermic creature that smells it; However, the corpses of rats that have died with sores from [plague slime] will also emit a foul smell, but this smell will not continue to spread the plague.

Of course, if these germ-contaminated rat carcasses are forcibly fed to other mice, those rats will also die.

Heatham, who learned of the effects of the plague, was also relieved after testing the contagiousness of [Plague Slime].

Because his plague had caused the rats and birds to be in low numbers, it was not what Systm wanted to see.

After all, if the number of rodents and birds on the plains decreases dramatically due to the plague, insects with no natural predators will multiply rapidly, and then eat up grasses and plants.

When food was scarce, he had to take his ant people on the next migration again.

……

……

In the past five days, Sisstem's plague experiment on the little mice has gone well.

Nothing special happened, and the nezumi that Systm had been expecting to encounter did not reappear.

However, Systham found some tired gnolls retreating from the direction of Lierte Forest, and some of the gnolls had some injuries of varying severity.

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

Since Systm was experimenting with [Plague Slime], he saw these gnolls warriors, so he selected one of the gnoll squads that was very close to him and briefly tested his [Plague Slime].

Systm changed the color of his body and camouflaged himself in the grass, while spitting out a small cloud of [plague slime] of gelatinous matter and placing it in the path of the gnolls.

As the gnolls passed by, Systm manipulated the mass of gel to explode and splash onto the gnolls' body.

Perhaps it was [Plague Slime] that possessed some corrosiveness, and the thirteen gnolls rioted for a moment.

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

Heatham didn't follow, but just relied on the [Eye of Heatham] to look at it from a distance of thousands of meters.

These gnolls are far stronger than the nezumi, but less resistant to plague than the nezumi and rats, and about the same as the birds of the sky.

After only two hours, the gnolls began to show symptoms of malaise, and after another two hours, one of the gnolls died, and after another hour or so, all the twelve jackals died, except for one who seemed to have resisted the plague and fled.

Because the gnolls were not moving slowly, and when they were normal for the first two hours, they had already walked a distance of nearly fifty kilometers, so Sistemm had no intention of going to get a closer look at the gnoll's corpse.

The Sith estimated that if his [Plague Slime] spat into the wounds on the gnoll warrior's body, it would kill the gnolls within a few minutes.

However, this only refers to ordinary gnolls, and if he is promoted to a magical or transcendent gnolls, Systm does not know if his plague is still effective.

……

Without much thought, the Gnoll and he were not going to be on the opposite side at the moment.

After returning from the experiment, Systm once again came to the side of the little meat ball, and after these days of research, Systm's activation of the talent [Body Transformation] finally made new progress.

Systham also decided to activate the ability of [Body Transformation] in the past few days.
