Chapter Ninety-Five: The Nezumi of Warren Plains

Sistum used his tentacles to pull at some muddy snow, the snow on the border of the Warren Plains was not very deep, only about ten centimeters, and Sistemm easily reached into the dirt and found the grass seeds that appeared on the ground from time to time.

Once again, Systm is ready to use the [Grow Plant] ability to try to spawn some grass seeds.

In the icy and snowy Lierte Forest, his ability is not very ideal, and I don't know what will happen in the Warren Plains, and whether he can produce some fresh grass plants for food.

However, just as Systm was about to use [Plant-Borne] abilities, Heatham's tentacles felt something unusual about it.

Not long after, a dark gray rat nearly half a meter in size suddenly emerged from an underground cave ten meters away.

Not only this mouse, but also nearly twenty gray and brown rats of ten to fifteen centimeters came out of the rat hole one after another.

The rats seem to have intelligence, and they systematically surround the Ant Folk of Heatham instead of attacking them immediately.

The rats seem intent on encircling the entire Icerm ant migration procession, leaving not a single ant to go.

The dark gray rat at the head did not stand on all fours like a normal mouse, but stood like a human, holding two white bone daggers in its hands.

The two daggers were larger than the mouse's half-meter body, and in the nezuman's hands, they were more like two bone daggers.

The dark gray nezumi has a patchwork of bone fragments, some similar to armor, but in reality, the armor protection is basically close to zero, and it is more like decoration.

Some slime flowed from the corners of the nezumi's mouth, and his eyes showed a human, greedy gaze, apparently treating Systm and the Ant People as food.

The nezumi muttered some unknown language and seemed to possess a certain amount of wisdom.

……

Seeing this scene, Systham showed a strange expression, he had just been worried about the food, but he didn't expect food to be delivered to the door.

Over the past few months, Systm and his ant people have managed to climb the food chain, and with Shava's abilities, he can be said to be at the top of the world.

Shava, who can easily defeat even a fierce gnolll warrior, is obviously not a problem to kill this nezumi.

It's just that Sistum has the impression that Warren Plains should be the territory of the gnolls and pig-headed people, and there are no clues about these nezumi.

Whoosh –

Before Sistham could give Shava's order, a green spike of more than ten centimeters sank into the nezumien's chest.

The nezumi fell to the ground with a scream, its body convulsing from being injected with paralyzing toxin......

The small ball of flesh flying in mid-air retracted a long tube of flesh into its body and sent a wave of joy to Sistum.

After seeing the rat man fall to the ground and convuls, the rest of the nearly twenty rats were puzzled for a moment, and then immediately scattered and fled, some fled back to the original cave, and some simply fled into the distance, maybe there were other rat holes there.

Nor did Heatham let Shava pursue the scattered rats, for such a huge rat as food was enough for his ant people to hold out to the meadow three hundred kilometers away.

Even half of the body of this mouse is enough.

However, Systham's order did not stop the small ball of meat in mid-air, it spread its wings and stretched its tentacles to swoop down from mid-air, directly knocking a small mouse to the ground.

"Father, I caught it!"

It didn't take long for the little meat ball to fly to Systm with the corpse of a little mouse, sending him a somewhat smug spiritual message.

Systham sighed helplessly in his heart, these days because of the lack of food, the little meat ball can only eat some dirt and hay, and his mood has been very low.

Systm can only coax the little meat ball like a child, saying that as long as it catches enough food, it can eat normal meat.

It was precisely because of this that Little Meatball did not wait for Systm's instructions and took the lead in attacking this nezumi.

"Then you can eat it."

Hearing Sistum's words, the little ball of flesh immediately wriggled and transformed into a large mouth full of fangs, biting the little mouse it caught in half, swallowing half of it.

Instead of looking too much at the small meat balls that were eating, Syst came to the rat-man who was unable to move because of the paralyzing toxin.

With a look of horror on the nezumi's face, Systham picked up the dagger in the nezuman's hand with his tentacles.

It was a dagger made from the bones of a creature unknown to Sistm, it looked delicate and sharp, and the handle of the dagger was wrapped with brown flannel of an unknown material, and Sistm felt good to the touch with his tentacles.

Systm found a strange line on the bone dagger, which appeared to be writing, but Heatham did not recognize it at all.

After coming to this world for a few months, although there was an opportunity to learn words, because the ice elf Nylis acted as a translator, Sistemm was lazy and did not study.

However, even if Nylis did not fall asleep, she did not necessarily know this nezumi script if she only knew Elven language and dragon language.

Instead, by eating the golden acorn before, Heatham had the opportunity to inherit the knowledge of the druids and acquire several foreign languages.

It's a pity that he didn't have the qualifications to obtain the druid inheritance in the first place, and this part of the foreign language knowledge was naturally lost.

Grabbing the bone dagger with his tentacles, Syst aimed the dagger at the nezumi's throat and decided to finish the nezumi off.

But just as Sistemm was about to make a move, he put the dagger back away, and at the same time reached out his tentacles, pulling out the dark green spikes on the nezumi's chest.

The effect of the paralyzing toxin of the small meat ball is quite good, and the paralyzing toxin on the spikes will not disappear even if it is separated by more than ten days.

Heatham estimated that after pulling out the green spikes, the rat-man would be paralyzed for about two hours.

Turning his head to look at the small ball of meat next to him, which was still chewing on half of the mouse, Systham suddenly felt a little irritated.

Why does the little meat ball have to use a poison attack?

If this nezumi is killed now, there will undoubtedly be some paralyzing toxins in the nezumi blood, and the ants will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble after eating.

Fortunately, the little meat ball did not use the red poison needle containing the deadly toxin this time, otherwise the killed rat man, except for the little meat ball himself, no one else would have thought about it.

……

Letting the ant people continue to rest, Systham wrapped his tentacles around the two daggers, boring in front of the paralyzed nezumi and digging through the dirt beneath the snow with the daggers, while trying to use the power of [Plant-Borne] to try to make some grass seeds sprout and grow.

Systham waited, and when the paralysis on the nezumi was lifted, he would poke a dagger into the nezumi's throat, and then have Shava use her twin blades to dismember the nezumi and remove some of the handy pieces of flesh.

Maybe it was still cold in the minus ten degrees Celsius, or maybe it was not enough strength, after ten minutes of using the power of [Breeding Plants], a few grass seeds only sent out a one-centimeter-sized shoot, and no matter how much he used his strength, the shoots would not continue to grow.

And just as Systm was pulling the dirt from the ground with two daggers and tapping the ground boringly, Systm's tentacles suddenly smelled a foul smell.

It may be that Systham's actions put a lot of pressure on the nezumi's heart, and the paralyzed nezumi became incontinent......
