Chapter 103: The God of Plague and Damnation (Part I)
Three days later, when Systham found that everything was calm, he took Shava and a team of ant knights to the nezumi wizard's cave once again.
When Systham left the Nezumi Wizard's Cave, he had only taken some of the books with him, but there were still some books and a lot of items that he might have found out more about his curse.
……
Because it is underground, the temperature is not very high, so although the mouse carcass in the cave has been dead for three days, it has not decomposed, but it has not become very fresh.
Systm tore off a small piece of minced rat's meat with his tentacles and put it in his mouth, and found that the taste was okay.
As he ate, Systm's tentacles moved slightly, and he suddenly heard a strange buzzing sound from the depths of the cavern.
It didn't take long for Syst to relent, though, and it turned out that the buzzing sound was a large fly that had come here to lay eggs on the corpses of rats.
The fly's movements were very flexible, and Sistemm did not catch it a dozen times with his tentacles, but the fly flew back and forth around Sistum as if it were provocative.
Eventually, the female fly was frozen into ice under Systham's [Frosty Breath], and was swallowed by Systm in one gulp, and it tasted okay.
……
The smell in this nezumi cave is not very large, and Systham is actually very happy with this rat cave.
Because nothing happened in the past three days, after this period of calm, Heatham's fear of the nezumi was slightly reduced.
Looking back at the slow progress of the excavator these days, it is estimated that it will take half a year or more to dig a nest the size of this nezumi cave by digging it.
Systm was born with the idea of claiming the nest for himself.
However, it has not been confirmed whether it is safe or not, and Heatham cannot act rashly.
If after two months there are still no nezumi coming to him, and there are no visitors to this nezumi cave, Systham decides to take over the nezumi cave and transform it.
The nezumi cave was only about two hundred meters away from his lair, and perhaps he could build a long passage underground to connect the cave to this place.
At the same time, Syst also decided to deal with the nezumi with caution in the future.
In order to master the language and writing of the nezumi, he still needs to capture a nezumi.
As for capturing the linguistic rat-men, the other nezumi Systm still did not give up the idea of hunting for food.
However, in the process of hunting, Syst will not be as reckless as before, but will go deep with Shava alone, allowing many rats to escape.
Heatham decided to be well prepared before hunting the rat people in the future, killing them all as soon as they were hunted, not sparing even a single ordinary mouse, and if possible, castrating the rats before hunting, and then killing them.
……
Ordering several worker ant knights to carry the dead rats one after another, Systham finally arrived in the room deep in the nezumi wizard's cave again.
The two magic lamps that had been extinguished before had already shone faintly again, illuminating the corpse of the red-eyed rat-man on the ground who had been cut in two by Shava very clearly.
The black blood, broken flesh, and bones produced by the nezumi wizard's self-explosion were everywhere, but after three days, these black blood and some pieces of flesh had solidified a little due to the loss of moisture, and they didn't look so bloody.
Sistemm flipped through the bookshelf beside him, and suddenly Sistemm retrieved a huge scroll of one meter from behind the nezumi's bookshelf.
The scroll was apparently a handmade map, I don't know if it was made by the nezumi wizard, and it also circled a few places with a red pen, and there was some text on it.
Heatham spotted a familiar shape of a stream next to a red circle, looking at the shape and direction of the stream, Heatham found that the red circle was supposed to be where he was, but the shape of the stream in the picture was still a little different from the shape of the stream he saw in the sky.
It is estimated that the rat people did not have mature technical means when they observed and recorded this map, so the map made had a large error.
Systham observed the map, and suddenly noticed some familiar images in the corners of the map, which he seemed to have seen.
Systm quickly remembered, and found the treasure map he had seen many days ago through the magic prosthetic eye in the [Tools Menu] footage.
There are slight differences between the treasure map and the scene in the corners of this large map, which should only be an error on the map, and the marked location should be the same as the map, about a few thousand kilometers away from him.
Not only that, but Systm suddenly discovers that the words on the treasure map are familiar.
Continuing to compare the images in the [Tools menu], Systm found that the text on the treasure map was almost identical to the text in the delicate black hide, and there were many concatenated texts that were identical.
Even Heatham, who had no understanding of the text, could see that the location marked on the treasure map seemed to have some connection to the unknown existence recorded in the Black Hide.
Shaking his head slightly, Systham rolled up the map and set it aside.
Although he learned where a treasure or ruins were hidden, Sistemm didn't have any idea about the treasure hunt, maybe hiding it in the location of the treasure would help him lift the curse, but it was too far from where Sisterm was now.
Moreover, the unknown existence recorded in the books is so strange that even if it is close to here, Sistrem may not be able to search for the so-called treasure.
Systham continued to look through the other books on the shelves.
Although the [Spell of Severance] has improved Sistum's physical fitness, it has consumed his lifespan all the time, and has completely deprived him of his ability to mate.
In the past few days, Sistemm has been thinking about how to lift the curse when he has nothing to do, but it's okay not to try, and Sistemm found that his [Ability Enhancement Technique] can also strengthen the [Severing Spell] to make this curse stronger.
Fortunately, his [Spell of Severence] has reached the upper limit of the level, otherwise it is really possible that Sistemm can't help but strengthen this [Spell of Severence] because of itchy hands, and conduct experiments.
However, the [Mind Transmission] he obtained from the Queen had some effect on this [Spell of Severement], and it seemed that he could use the ability of [Mind Transmission] to transfer the [Spell of Separation] to other beings.
However, as Systm continued to analyze in the past two days, he found that this [Spell of Severence] was extremely special, although it could be transferred to others with [Mind Transmission], but this curse would not be eliminated because of this, but would exist in the bodies of two creatures at the same time.
And even if he uses [Psychic Transmission] to carry out incomplete transfers, he still needs his [Psychic Transmission] level to be higher.
Systm reckoned that he didn't know enough about this curse, and if he did, he might be able to transfer this curse of yin damage out of his body.
Sistemm cursorily looked through the remaining basic books here, still couldn't find any more information about the curse, and it seemed that he had to put catching a nezumi on his agenda.
Setting the books aside, Heatham continued to look at the bottles and jars on the nezumi wizard's desk......
