From Skaven to God of War

Chapter 395, Plague, Swarming Skaven, Degraded Bloodline

In a very short period of time, the rat people sent one rocket after another into the sky.

There are many more unlucky people wandering outside the planet.

But what was strange was that the group of uninvited guests disappeared without a trace.

This quick-success exploration began to deviate the Skaven's technology tree.

Rockets, rockets! Rat people everywhere are talking about these pillars that can fly into the sky. The big claw priests in every industrial zone have also been working overtime to research these things recently.

In such an impatient environment, it is hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

But that is indeed the nature of a rat man.

Except for one rather weird guy who doesn't fit in with most of the ratmen.

Desolate mountains and underground abysses.

Huishi'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.

That group of Big Claw Priests of the School of Distortion have occupied all the pieces of the abyss that belong to the wriggling flesh and blood.

This is undoubtedly an offense.

However, Huishi showed indifference to this offense.

Ever since he got that batch of information from humans, he has been diving into the research and replication of the magic engine until today.

He has been doing this for such a long time.

It's not that there is no progress.

But the progress is not encouraging.

This might be the reason why those guys from the School of Distortion dared to march into this abyss so brazenly.

Shengqi and the temple guards all came to look for Huishi during this period of time.

But Huishi acted very calm about this, or it could be said that this dull guy had always acted 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 suddenly struck Gray Stone, and he instinctively closed his eyes at this moment.

Under the fur, a layer of fine prismatic scales helped Graystone resist such an attack.

The dark blue lightning turned the gray stone's fur black, but even after it completely dissipated, it was unable to damage the layer of scales under the gray stone's fur.

This was what the long claws left him, a relic of the apotheosis ceremony.

Long Claw exploded into a pool of rotten meat in his arrogance, and the strange experimental products he had tinkered with were also liquidated.

Except for the greystone.

Unconsciously, the fine scales had covered the entire body of the gray stone, and some deeper changes were gradually taking place.

To some extent, there was nothing wrong with Long Claw's idea, but it was a pity that his experiment was ultimately a little off and lacked something.

From ordinary things to extraordinary things, shedding the mundane nature and moving upward step by step, this is the best way for ordinary things to peek into the power of God.

But Long Claw was still anxious, or rather, at that time there were too few things that could provide Long Claw with the resources to gradually advance in rank.

As a result, this guy was gradually devoured by his own desires during the long wait, until he was finally completely exploded into a pool of rotten meat.

Now, things couldn’t be more different.

The generous Du Yuan has already spread the key and the resources.

What could be more suitable as nourishment for transformation than those soul gems and ether crystals that have been cleansed of the chaotic thoughts surrounding Du Yuan, and purified from the chaotic thoughts surrounding Du Yuan?

Not anymore.

The dark blue lightning that diffused across the gray stone left something behind.

Something was engraved on those scales.

An extremely beautiful transformation is taking place in Graystone's body.

All I can say is that the way the rat people use soul gems nowadays is really inferior and a waste of resources.

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 that intricate underground tunnel.

In an abandoned underground outpost.

A huge group of rat-men zombies gathered here.

This group of guys are the remnants of the previous turmoil, and they are also the test subjects that one guy uses to experiment with the things in his hands.

Rat-men ghouls are a very special group of guys.

They are not those mindless and inferior undead creatures, or zombies, but they are also different from real ghouls.

If I have to say it, it is more like a state of falling into the state of a beast.

Ever since Du Yuan first repaired the rat people's increasingly deteriorating bloodlines, this group of rat-eating zombies have gradually emerged among the rat people.

The fur on the body falls off, the animal becomes more sensitive to sounds, prefers darkness and fears light, the skin begins to thicken and become like tanned leather, and the animal's food preference shifts significantly.

They prefer to eat their own kind.

Another thing is that he has a desire that is no different from that of ordinary ratmen.

Hungry for more blood mushrooms.

Rat-Ghouls are transformed from rat-men who devoured the corpses of rat-men in large numbers.

Rat-man ghouls are not particularly contagious.

The reason for this change is more like the degraded genes that were cleansed by Du Yuan began to manifest in these guys again.

The breeding house mode caused too much damage to the ratmen's bloodline. Although Du Yuan had made several attempts to remedy the situation, the degraded bloodline seemed to have never been cleansed and was still lurking in the body of every ratman.

The mutual cannibalism among the ratmen will induce the manifestation of these degraded bloodlines.

In fact, there are still many things that can be excavated from such degradation. For example, in the previous turmoil, some special rat-men ghouls were born.

After the gathering of rat-men and ghouls breaks through the city and a special lucky person eats enough blood mushrooms, the second round of transformation will occur.

The king of the rat-men ghouls will be born.

That's a special guy that can guide ordinary rat-men ghouls.

To some extent, this is even the 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 does not take action to cleanse the blood of the rat man, perhaps after hundreds or thousands of years, a new kind of rat man will be born in this sea of ​​chaos.

A new kind of rat people that gather in groups and become collectives.

It's just a pity that this deterioration was interrupted.

The new ratmen that might appear also became the shadow buried in the degraded bloodline.

The rat-men and zombies can no longer cause any trouble now.

The same was true even when that special rat-man ghoul king was born.

These guys can't cause any more trouble. Times have changed.

Under the attack of the magic weapons, no matter how large a group of rat-men and ghouls gathered, they would just be a group of wild beasts that could only howl.

It no longer has any particularly big impact on the rat people.

Of course, this has to do with a prerequisite, that is, no one takes the initiative to touch these degraded bloodlines.

After all, it’s hard to say anything else, but this kind of degraded bloodline can definitely be used to deal with the ratmen themselves.

But no one would commit suicide like this.

This abandoned underground outpost is home to a large number of rat-men and ghouls. The closer you get to the center, the more eye-catching the brightly colored mushrooms become.

These mushrooms pop up from every corner.

Wet, dry, rock walls, wood, or living ratmen or rat-ghouls.

Some ratmen have already discovered the existence of these degraded bloodlines.

As expected, unrestrained research began.

Blackwater is observing a skinny rat man.

A rat man who was so thin that he was just skin and bones. This poor guy was still alive, his body was still trembling slightly, but he probably couldn't respond at all.

A huge white mushroom emerged from the rat man's eye and flourished.

It's like a big mushroom umbrella propped up on your head.

It's hard to imagine that such a huge mushroom would emerge from such a thin guy.

But it is obvious that the mushrooms grown in Heishui are not for eating.

The sharp knife fell on the body of this thin rat man, but felt a little resistance, showing a texture like cowhide, just like those rat man zombies.

Heishui nodded with satisfaction and made a record of the test subject.

Looking back from here, in the center of this abandoned outpost surrounded by numerous rat-ghouls, there are densely packed rat-men being hung high.

Various wails echoed each other here.

At the same time, strange-shaped mushrooms emerged on the bodies of the ratmen.

There is no doubt about the ratmen's ability to commit suicide. Blackwater has not only begun to study this degraded bloodline, but has also begun to study how to use his own plague and those mushrooms to help other ratmen actively awaken this bloodline.

In short, this guy is tinkering with a plague specifically targeting the Skaven themselves.

Obviously, Blackwater has achieved certain results in this matter.

The poor guy's much tougher skin is a testament to his achievements.

In fact, this guy has tinkered with quite a few weird things. When the last turmoil just started, he came here just by smelling the smell.

He must have contributed to the seriousness of the turmoil.

A large number of strange plagues have been wreaking havoc for several rounds.

But he himself seemed dissatisfied.

Those messy plagues always have one limitation, which is that they will inevitably appear somewhat powerless when facing the rat people's superb resistance.

This is why, although he was studying the plague, he accidentally managed to produce a lot of supplies.

The ratmen's adaptability and resistance are already superb, and coupled with Du Yuan's several attempts to optimize their bloodline and the powerful vitality provided by the blood mushroom, these combined forces made half of the plague ineffective. Of the remaining half, 70% were able to adapt quickly, and the symptoms of the remaining three layers would change during the confrontation and would no longer be so deadly.

This made Heishui very helpless.

So, after another iteration, the plague he developed once again became a strange supplement.

He angrily left the sewage pipe in the underground book city and came to the scarlet grassland.

Just like that, the rat-ghouls that were supposed to slowly disappear in the history of the rat-men were rescued by him.

Originally, these degraded bloodlines would be gradually abandoned with the iteration of the ratmen generation after generation, and would no longer be able to manifest, becoming one of the abandoned fragments at the bottom of the bloodline.

That group of ratmen will never appear again.

But there just happened to be a guy like Blackwater.

In a sense, Sheng Qi had a good vision and he did find a talented person.

If the black water continues to grow deeper, the rat people might find another way to destroy themselves.

Although this may not be the first case.

This is also a possibility for Long Claws' plan to become a god.

As for why we would want to tinker with something that seems extremely dangerous and has no benefit.

It can only be said that in order to kill ratmen more efficiently, the ratmen have never given up thinking about this point.

Such a research probably also had the tacit approval of Sheng Qi.

I hope Sheng Qi will be able to control it by then.

By the way, this is not the only little surprise that Heishui has come up with. The reason why he can carry out his experiments unscrupulously surrounded by a large group of rat-ghouls is that he relies on a very special rat-ghoul king.

A special ghoul king whose body is covered with mushrooms, but whose eyes are not dull at all and instead have a faint gleam of wisdom.

He was hung high in the center of the laboratory. At this moment, he was silently watching the black water moving back and forth in the experiment, as if he was learning something.

This is also a masterpiece created by Heishui, a unique piece.

Even Black Water is a precious, one-of-a-kind piece that no one knows how to replicate.

It is also an extremely dangerous thing.

………….

Blackwater's time is running out, and those rat warlords can no longer withstand the pressure from above. A thorough purge will begin soon, and he must finish what he needs to do before the purge. He must give up what should be given up and abandon what should be abandoned. This testing site has to be abandoned. In such a situation, he can't help but become a little more anxious.

I hope Heishui and Shengqi can grasp it.

Heishui was busy walking around in front of the test subjects, the expressions on his face changing from thinking to excitement, from excitement to annoyance, and the Ghoul King, whose body was covered with mushrooms, also saw every scene of Heishui clearly.

His eyes never left Heishui.

However, Heishui seemed to be unaware of this and was eagerly carrying out his actions.
