Chapter 395, Plague, Swarming Skaven, Degraded Bloodline
In a very short time, the rats sent rockets one after another into the sky.
There were many more unlucky people floating outside the planet.
But strangely, the group of uninvited guests disappeared.
This quick-success exploration began to deviate the rats' technology tree.
Rockets, rockets, rats in every place are talking about these pillars that can fly into the sky, and the big claw priests in every industrial zone have been working overtime to study these things recently.
In such an impatient environment, it is hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
But it is indeed the nature of the rats.
Except for a rather weird guy who is incompatible with most rats.
Desolate Mountains, underground abyss.
Graystone's recent work area has been squeezed to a certain extent. Originally, this deep underground abyss belonged to him, but recently there have been some uninvited guests visiting.
The group of big claw priests of the distortion school took over the part of the abyss that belonged to the wriggling flesh and blood.
Undoubtedly, this was an offense.
But Huishi showed an indifferent state to this offense.
Since he got the batch of information from humans, he has been immersed in the research and reproduction of the magic engine until today.
For such a long time, he has been doing this.
It's not that there is no progress.
But the progress is not gratifying.
This may be why those guys from the distortion school dared to swagger into this abyss.
Shengqi and the temple guards came to Huishi during this period.
But Huishi was very calm about it, or this stunned guy has always been very calm.
Today, Huishi is still conducting his experiments, and a complex system is gradually taking shape in front of him.
But suddenly, I don't know where some deviations occurred.
The dark blue lightning suddenly broke away from this complex system composed of large and small gears, complex nested mechanical structures, various magic patterns, and some special materials, and suddenly collapsed.
The dark blue lightning hit Gray Stone fiercely, and he instinctively closed his eyes at this moment.
Under the fur, a layer of fine prismatic scales helped Gray Stone resist such an attack.
The dark blue lightning hit Gray Stone's fur black, but it was unable to do anything to the scales under Gray Stone's fur until it completely dissipated.
This was what the long claws left him, a legacy of the god-making ceremony.
The long claws exploded into a pool of rotten meat in his arrogance, and the strange experiments he had made were also ushered in.
Except for Gray Stone.
Unknowingly, the fine scales had covered Gray Stone's entire body, and some deeper changes were gradually taking place.
To some extent, there was nothing wrong with Long Claw's idea, but unfortunately, his experiment was still a little bit wrong in the end, missing something.
From ordinary things to extraordinary things, shedding the mundane essence, step by step upward, this is the best way for ordinary things to peek at the power of gods.
But Long Claw was still anxious, or in other words, there were too few things that could provide Long Claw with step-by-step advancement at that time.
So that this guy was swallowed up by his own desires step by step during the long wait, until he was completely blown into a pool of rotten meat.
But now, the situation is no longer the same.
The generous Du Yuan has spread this key and those resources.
What else can be more suitable as resources for transformation than those thoughts that Du Yuan washed away the chaos, these soul gems and ether crystals purified by the chaotic thoughts entangled around Du Yuan?
There will be no more.
The dark blue lightning that diffused on the gray stone left something.
Something was engraved on those pieces of scales.
A very beautiful transformation is going on in Graystone.
It can only be said that the way the rats use the soul gems now is really inferior and wasteful.
After all, even if antimatter can really be used to light torches, its real use is definitely not just to light torches.
………….
Under the scarlet grassland.
In the intricate underground tunnels.
In an abandoned underground outpost.
A very large group of rat ghouls gathered here.
This group of guys is the remnant of the last turmoil, and is also a test subject that a guy uses to experiment with the things in his hands.
Rat ghouls are a very special group of guys.
They are not the kind of stupid and inferior undead creations, or zombies, and they are also different from serious ghouls.
If you have to say it, it is more like a state of falling into beasts.
Since Du Yuan first repaired the increasingly degraded bloodline for the rats, this group of rat ghouls has gradually emerged among the rats.
The fur on the body falls off, and it becomes more sensitive to sound. It prefers darkness and fears light. The skin begins to thicken and becomes like tanned leather. At the same time, the preference for food will be greatly shifted.
It prefers to eat its own kind.
It also has a desire that is the same as that of ordinary ratmen.
It craves to eat more blood mushrooms.
Ratmen ghouls are transformed from ratmen who eat a large number of rat corpses.
Rat-man ghouls are not particularly contagious.
The reason for this change is more like the degraded genes washed by Du Yuan began to manifest in these guys again.
The breeding house mode is still too harmful to the rat-man bloodline. Although Du Yuan has made several remedies, the degraded bloodline seems to have never been washed clean, but still lurks in the body of each rat-man.
And the mutual cannibalism between rats will induce the manifestation of these degraded bloodlines.
In fact, there are still many things that can be excavated in such degradation, such as some special rat-man ghouls were born in the last turmoil.
After the gathering of rat-man ghouls breaks through the city, a special lucky person will eat enough blood mushrooms, and the second round of metamorphosis will occur.
The king of rat-man ghouls will be born.
It is a special guy who can guide ordinary rat-man ghouls.
To some extent, this is even a prototype of a cluster state.
Countless ordinary rat-man ghouls gathered around the rat-man ghoul king.
This is a very special transformation.
If Du Yuan did not take action to cleanse the ratman bloodline, perhaps after hundreds or thousands of years, a new ratman would be born in this chaotic sea.
A new ratman that is clustered and grouped.
It's just a pity that this degradation was interrupted.
The new ratman that might appear also became the shadow buried in the degraded bloodline.
The current ratman ghouls can no longer make any trouble.
Even the birth of the special ratman ghoul king is the same.
This group of guys can no longer make any trouble, and the times have changed.
In the attack of the magic weapon, no matter how large the ratman ghouls gather, they will only be a group of beasts that can only scream.
For the ratman, it has no particularly big impact.
Of course, this requires a premise, that is, no one actively touches these degraded bloodlines.
After all, it is hard to say, such degraded bloodlines can definitely be used to deal with the ratman himself.
But no one would commit suicide like this.
This abandoned underground outpost where a large number of rat-men and ghouls gather, the closer you get to the center, the more eye-catching the bright mushrooms are.
These mushrooms emerge from every corner.
Wet, dry, rock walls, wood, or on living rats or rat-men and ghouls.
Some rats have already discovered the existence of these degraded bloodlines.
As expected, research without any scruples also began.
Blackwater is observing a thin ratman.
A ratman who is so thin that he is just skin and bones. This poor guy is still alive, and his body is still trembling slightly, but he probably can't give any reaction.
A huge white mushroom emerged from the ratman's eyes and thrived.
Like a big mushroom umbrella propped up on his head.
It's hard to imagine that such a huge mushroom would emerge from such a thin guy.
But it is obvious that Blackwater did not cultivate such mushrooms for eating.
The sharp knife fell on the body of this thin ratman, but it felt a little resistance, showing a cowhide texture, just like those ratman ghouls.
Heishui nodded with satisfaction and recorded this test product.
Looking back here, in the center of this abandoned outpost surrounded by many ratman ghouls, there are dense ratmen hanging high.
Various wails echoed here.
At the same time, strange mushrooms emerged on the bodies of ratmen one by one.
There is no need to doubt the ratman's ability to commit suicide. Heishui has not only begun to study this degraded bloodline, but also began to study how to use his own plague and those mushrooms to help other ratmen actively awaken such bloodlines.
In short, this guy is tinkering with a plague specifically targeting ratmen themselves.
Obviously, Heishui has achieved certain results in this matter.
The toughened skin on this poor guy is the embodiment of his achievements.
In fact, this guy has tinkered with a lot of strange things. When the last turmoil just started, he came here by smelling the smell.
The reason why the turmoil was so serious must have been due to his contribution.
A large number of strange plagues have been wreaking havoc for several rounds.
But he himself seems dissatisfied.
Those messy plagues always escape one limitation, that is, they will inevitably appear a little powerless when facing the high resistance of rat people.
That's why, although he was studying the plague, he accidentally tinkered with a lot of supplies.
The adaptability and resistance of rat people are already superb, coupled with Du Yuan's several optimizations of blood, and the strong vitality provided by the blood mushroom, these superpositions make half of the plague have no effect, and of the remaining half, 70% can be quickly adapted, and the remaining three layers will change their symptoms in the confrontation, and they are no longer so deadly.
This makes Heishui very helpless.
So, after another iteration, the plague he developed once again became a strange tonic.
He angrily left the sewage pipe in the underground book city and came to this scarlet grassland.
Just like that, the rat-eating ghost that was supposed to disappear slowly in the history of the rat-men was saved by him.
Originally, these degraded bloodlines would be gradually abandoned with the iteration of the rat-men, and would no longer be able to manifest, becoming one of the abandoned fragments at the bottom of the bloodline.
The clustered rat-men would never appear again.
But there happened to be a guy like Heishui.
In a sense, Sheng Qi's vision is not bad, he did find a talent.
If Heishui digs deeper, maybe the rat-men will find another way to destroy themselves.
Although this possibility is not the first case.
The god-making plan that Long Claws is tinkering with also has such a possibility.
As for why they want to tinker with such a thing that seems extremely dangerous and has no benefits.
It can only be said that in order to kill rat-men more efficiently, the rat-men have never given up thinking about this point.
Such a research probably also has the tacit approval of Sheng Qi.
I hope Sheng Qi can grasp it by then.
By the way, Blackwater had come up with more than one little surprise. The reason why he could carry out his experiments unscrupulously in the midst of a large group of rat-ghouls was because of a very special rat-ghoul king.
A special ghoul king with mushrooms all over his body, but his eyes were not so dull, and there was a faint flicker of wisdom.
He was hung high in the center of this laboratory. At this moment, he was silently watching Blackwater walking back and forth in the experiment, as if learning something.
This was also a masterpiece made by Blackwater, a unique product.
Even Blackwater didn't know how to copy this precious unique product.
It was also an extremely dangerous thing.
………….
Blackwater's time was running out. Those rat-ghoul warlords could no longer withstand the pressure from above. A thorough liquidation would soon begin, and he had to finish what he had to do before that liquidation. He had to give up what he should give up and abandon what he should abandon. This test site had to be abandoned. In such a situation, he was inevitably a little more anxious.
I hope Heishui and Shengqi can grasp it.
Heishui was busy walking around in front of the test subjects, with expressions ranging from thinking to excitement, from excitement to annoyance, and so on. The ghoul king with mushrooms all over his body also saw every scene of Heishui clearly.
His eyes fell on Heishui and never left.
But Heishui seemed to be unaware of this and was eager to carry out the actions in his hands.
