Chapter 234: Biohazard
The Earthquake can be released actively, which means that more attack combinations can be obtained, but it is not known whether it can knock away the third-level extraordinary.
If used well, it can be used as both a control skill and an attack skill.
After the Giant Bear Breathing Technique was advanced, the proficiency of the Rock Breathing Technique increased by more than 300 points, and the Fire Breathing Technique increased by about 200 points. It was a small surprise and saved a few bottles of potions.
[Rock Breathing Method: 4132/8000; Level 3]
[Flame Breath: 8327/12000; Level 3]
Unconsciously, his proficiency in the Rock Breathing Technique had already passed halfway. Now, Clown still had more than a dozen control potions in his hand, which would allow him to continue to advance the breathing technique before trading with the Brotherhood.
He opened his eyes, nodded to the second-level priests who were practicing with him, and said:
"Thank you for your cooperation this time. My breathing method has been able to improve further. You are all tired today, so you don't need to participate in the afternoon's operation."
"Congratulations, sir. It's our honor," Watt bowed and responded with a smile.
The crowd dispersed and Crown returned to the room.
There are now more than 300 extraordinary troops in the camp, and the mine clearing operation is proceeding in an orderly manner. Although the progress is slow, he doesn't need to worry about it anymore.
After resting for a while, he began to visualize the Golden Light Mantra to restore his strength.
His current physical condition has a strong ability to recover, and with the effect of visualization, he recovers very quickly.
In less than an hour, his condition was back to its best, so he took a control potion and began to practice the Rock Breathing Technique.
Another breathing technique advanced, the speed of the Stone Breathing Technique increased a lot. When the effect of the potion wore off, he summoned the golden wall and found that his proficiency in the breathing technique increased by 176 points, and the effect increased by more than 40%.
. . . .
Green torches were burning at the bottom of the No. 4 mine, and the jumping flames were filled with an ominous atmosphere.
There is an altar here made of bones. The altar is like a small pond, and bloody runes are painted crookedly on the outer bone walls.
There is a high platform next to the altar, on which stands an evil black stone statue.
The stone statue looks like a bloated piece of meat, with twisted mouths and eyes carved on it, as well as dancing tentacles and short legs similar to sheep's hooves.
If Clown came here, he would definitely find that this was an "old enemy". He had encountered this evil stone statue twice.
The Skaven stood on the altar, constantly ordering the killing of the old and weak ratmen in the altar, and the blood slowly filled the altar.
In the past few days, the rats have been hunted constantly. The enemy is very powerful and they are losing ground.
Many ratmen began to question the Skaven's leadership, accusing it of being unable to lead the ratmen to resist the enemy.
It killed the ratmen that screamed the most fiercely, and then killed the weaker ones, and used their blood for sacrifice.
Because it received the "divine revelation", the great gods were willing to bless it and the ratmen with greater power.
The blood in the altar exceeded the height of the altar, but not a single drop spilled.
The Skaven lifted up a ratman baby and screamed something in a strange tone, and the blood began to ripple like the wind rippling the lake.
Dark red light and shadow appeared in this space, like the whispers of thousands of people, echoing continuously.
It threw the baby into the altar, but the ratman cub did not sink into the pool of blood, but remained on the surface of the pool.
Black shadows resembling fishmen jumped out of the blood pool and quickly devoured the baby, without even a trace of bones left.
Suddenly, the blood in the altar began to boil, and a scarlet shock wave spread out in all directions, instantly reaching every corner here.
All the ratmen were wrapped in bloody "cocoons", and the Skaven's cocoons were the largest.
The noisy whispers also disappeared, and the space was filled with dead silence.
After an unknown amount of time, the largest cocoon burst open, revealing the body of the Skaven.
At this moment, its body has grown a lot taller, nearly two meters, and its originally thin body has become extremely strong and full of muscular muscles.
Its eyes were as red as blood, and its fangs and claws were like silver metal, and it was obvious at a glance that they had become sharper.
Gradually, more and more ratmen broke out of their cocoons, each of them looked like a devilish muscle man, with shiny fur and their eyeballs turned a strange red.
. . . .
Three days later, in the evening.
The orange-red setting sun cast a color on the earth, and the clouds in the sky were also dyed scarlet.
Fukin and Baster sat obediently on the ground, with silver and golden light shining in their eyes, and Clown was visualizing the golden light spell.
"Bang, bang, bang", there were rapid knocks on the door.
An anxious voice came from outside the door: "Sir, something big has happened."
Crown finished his meditation and opened his eyes. Fujin flew to the door, stretched out his claws, twisted the doorknob and opened the door.
Three people came in, and Watt stood up and said breathlessly:
"Sir, the troops clearing the mines today suffered heavy casualties, including eight second-level transcendents and more than forty flame warriors who have not returned."
"Tell me slowly what happened."
With his brows furrowed, a solemn look appeared on Crown's face.
The clearing operations in the past few days went very smoothly. Occasionally a soldier would be injured, but there had never been any casualties. How come so many people suddenly died?
Watt slowly described the changes in the ratmen: "I don't know what kind of mutation the ratmen have undergone. Their size and strength have increased a lot, and their claws and teeth have become sharper.
Some particularly strong ratmen can even leave half-finger-deep marks on the armor of second-level brethren, and one particularly strong ratman can cast spells."
This was the first time they encountered ratmen with magical powers. Caught off guard, two second-level transcendents died on the spot.
Where did the rat-man mutation come from? Klauen was full of doubts. This was completely abnormal. It should be a mutation that occurred recently.
If the ratmen were so strong, it would have taken them so long to wipe them out before striking them.
He couldn't figure out the reason, so he had to wait and investigate.
The troops' clearing has been hindered, and the camp is likely to face a threat to its safety tonight. The good news is that the Crusaders have been working hard with the craftsmen these days, and the surrounding walls have been erected three or four meters high, which can be regarded as a barrier.
He stood up and asked, "Have the wounded been treated?"
"They have been sent for treatment, but some of them have lost limbs and have to withdraw from the battle sequence."
Clown sighed and said, "I'll go check on the wounded. Also notify the troops to be on high alert tonight."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Yes, sir."
. . . .
"ah"
"Murder."
"Catch him, don't let him escape."
As soon as he walked out of the room, Crown heard a noisy commotion in the camp, accompanied by screams.
Watt's face suddenly turned pale. The place where the voice came from was where the wounded were placed.
Those church members who were scratched or bitten by the rat men soon fell into a coma, their body temperature rose, and when they touched them they actually felt a little hot, as if they had a high fever.
Black veins appeared on their faces and skin like twisted earthworms.
The rat-man's poison became much stronger, and the injured suffered a severe rejection reaction.
On the way back, they used holy water to clean the wounds, but the wounded who were in a coma were unable to swallow, so the holy water could not be poured in.
Crown's speed suddenly increased and he rushed to the scene, leaving the others far behind.
He saw several people with dark blue skin covered with black spots gnawing at a nun. They were wearing fire warrior armor, and the forearm of one of them had turned into a black tentacle.
The nun was lying on her back with a dazed look in her eyes. Her throat had been bitten and blood was spurting out of her carotid artery.
A mutated fire warrior saw someone coming, put down the nun in his hand, roared, and rushed over.
When the other mutant warriors heard the signal, they stood up and rushed forward.
Crown saw that these people's eyes were bloodshot, as if they had been through many nights.
The lens of the eye is cloudy, as if covered with a layer of frosted glass.
They had fangs in their mouths and shiny black nails on their hands.
Their speed also became much faster, comparable to that of ordinary second-level transcendents.
Damn, is this a biochemical crisis?! Crown felt his scalp tingling, not because he was afraid of mutants, but because he felt that the situation was out of control.
Silver metallic essence immediately emerged on his body surface, and then released golden light to protect his body.
The situation doesn't look good. If he gets bitten, it will be a big joke. He has no idea whether he can resist this mutation.
The mutant who rushed over first suddenly jumped up and pounced on him. Klauen slightly turned sideways to avoid the attack and hit his opponent's neck with his hand knife.
He wanted to knock these people unconscious and control them to see if they could be saved. Even if they couldn't be saved, he could still study the source of the mutation.
It's a pity that he spent a lot of hard work to research a medicine to deal with the rat-man toxin, but now it seems that all the work was in vain.
The mutant was attacked and staggered to the ground, but did not faint. He got up, shook his head vigorously, and pounced again.
The force I just used would have knocked down even a Level 2 Transcendent. Could it be that his nerve center had completely mutated? Klauen frowned slightly, and he took a few steps back to avoid the attacks of other mutants. A bronze sword appeared in his hand.
He took two steps forward and cut off the tentacles of one of the mutants. He saw that the target's blood was black and had a fishy smell.
It's over. After mutating to this extent, the chance of saving it is very low. Clown felt regretful and his eyes turned cold.
At this time, Watt and others also rushed over.
"These people have completely mutated. Don't hold back," Klauen ordered.
After saying that, he swung his sword hard and chopped off the heads of several mutants who pounced on him again.
Several hideous heads rolled on the ground, their mouths still biting hard.
Watt and his men were stunned. Is there no hope? These people were fighting side by side with us in the afternoon. Their comrades became enemies, and they felt very upset.
