Chapter 1264 Stability of Biological Mutation

In the hollowed-out mountain, a strange giant bell hangs in the center by chains. The yellowed copper body is engraved with many incomprehensible evil runes. An ordinary person can hear the endless curses of the horned rat just by looking at it.

Victor, who was huddled at the entrance above the cave, lay on the ground, looking at the dimly glowing clock with his mouth wide open.

"It's got to be a squawking pumpkin!"

"Salzipire, your eyesight is as sharp as your faith..." Gragrim was extremely speechless. A screaming death knell could be recognized as a pumpkin. This was a Sigma follower or a Vaal priest who blinded his eyes.

"Can't you have a sense of humor, brother dwarf?" Salzipire wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling glad that he had followed the priest's advice to look for rat men, otherwise there would have been densely packed black-haired rats below. It can cause a lot of trouble for the empire.

"Instead of your boring arguments... you should be concerned about how to solve the trouble below." The priest took off his mask and scanned the field below with his eye protected by the nictitating membrane.

The mutation allows the priest to hardly attract attention, but a layer of vague black mist always lingers directly under the screaming death knell. From a structural point of view, it must be the core of the rat man.

"Shadow Walker, is there a way to sneak in?"

Shadowrunner, who had high hopes for him, shook his head without hesitation: "It's difficult. A gathering of ratmen of this size is usually equipped with assassins from the Eshin clan, and... have you seen that?"

Following the direction pointed by the shadow walker, everyone saw a strange creature hiding under the rock. The body lying on the ground had thick and powerful limbs, and the wrinkled skin looked very smooth. It twisted its head restlessly and flattened it. His nose twitched as he sniffed the scent of prey.

"Why haven't I seen this kind of monster?" Gragrim spoke first. Kaderin would occasionally organize team-building activities with the Kislev Patriot Army, wandering around the pits of hell to find some giant rat heads to fill his honor. medal.

Not only have you never seen all kinds of monsters before, but it can only be said that the mutation technology of the Rotten Clan has been analyzed to 70% to 80%. Various monsters emerge in endlessly, but most of them are centered around making up for the lack of impact and backbone ability of the rat men.

There are many mutant monsters based on ogres and trolls. This thing looks like an extra-large hairless rat, which I have never seen before.

"The giant rat in the nest, I thought it was a rumor released by the rat people... This is a bit troublesome." The priest quickly recognized the origin of the mutated creature. The giant horned viper and Kislev have a war alliance against the rats, and they can real-timely Share various news about Skaven.

Regarding the situation in the pit of hell, he is much more knowledgeable than the dwarves.

Without waiting for anyone to ask, he directly told what he knew and analyzed possible situations.

"The Corrupt Clan has produced a big figure in recent years, known as the Unclean One Slott, a great beast tamer who controls the twelfth level of the Hell Pit... The Patriot Army recently discovered some rat trolls. It is usually more powerful and highly controllable on the battlefield. Some reconnaissance teams were also attacked, and the traces were not left by wolves and rats.

The Pit of Hell has no shortage of powerful mutation technologies, and it can always rely on dimensional stones to create some surprises on the battlefield... For example, in a battle sixty years ago, a rat troll with a size comparable to a war mammoth was created for the Patriot Army. A huge threat. When the general was worried, the rat troll lost control and killed the trainer, turning the tide of the battle. "

"This seems to have nothing to do with our current affairs."

Gragrim reminded him that he just wanted to jump down and fight the black-haired rat instead of continuing to listen to the priest's tirade.

"Remain patient, future king of Karak Kaderin... I believe you have also experienced the horror of the Skaven, especially the engineering and mutant weapons of the Skuri and Mordkin clans. The reason why the Skaven are now War methods based on warpstone weapons and mutated creatures have not yet been formed, rooted in the instability of technology.

Biological variation is an extremely complex process. Even under the experimental conditions of absolute surveillance and collection of all data, it is extremely difficult to reproduce a sample. The Ratman's poor technical concepts and environment make large-scale production of samples difficult. More difficult.

But now a ratman has solved these difficulties and can turn samples in the laboratory into products... Can you imagine how much trouble this is? "

"You mean..."

The priest nodded and did not wait for Gragrim to think:

"Reports came from near the Withered Swamp. The weapons of the Skulli clan are more stable and reliable than before. Coupled with the optimization of the mutation technology of the Corrupt clan, perhaps... this is the will of the god."

"Enough! Let the big shots deal with these troubles. What we have to do is solve the current troubles!" Victor didn't want to listen to the long arguments between these clans. Killing a few ratmen was far more useful than lying on the ground analyzing the future.

He looked around and quickly formed an empty layout in his mind.

First of all, there is the outer rat camp, which is still a rough wooden house, built on solid and reliable dwarf buildings, like a big pile of dog shit stuck to a steel ingot, which makes people feel sick.

According to the habits of the rat people, the outermost circle must be a large group of slave rats used as cannon fodder and prepared food. With the help of the whip of the clan rat overseer, they struggle to carry the newly excavated iron ore. If they unfortunately fall down due to lack of physical strength, When a stone falls from its shoulders to the ground, its drooling compatriots will instantly tear it into pieces and fill their insatiable stomachs.

On the higher level is the clan rat colony in the middle area. They are busy transporting minerals... and fresh food through several secret passages.

Most of the food is locally sourced, mostly from orcs. Fighting with greenskins is a common practice for ratmen. Greenskins are mushrooms, and they can grow up by eating the secretions of squigs, which can be called green, environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

Ratmen need a lot of food to fill their stomachs, but once there is too much food, their numbers will increase greatly, and they will fall into a cycle.

The more they eat, the faster they grow, and the faster they grow, the less they eat.

To sum up the law of ratmen's development, the more they eat, the less they eat.

Using war to maintain the balance between clan population and food is something that every clan leader must consider.

The truly popular food is human flesh and blood. Greenskins eat it with a mushroom smell, and dwarf meat bites like stone...

These precious foods will be sent to the innermost camp first to feed the storm rats. The second-level clan rats can gnaw on some not-so-good parts. As for slave rats, it is a favor for the big horned rats to eat a piece of internal organs.

There are three layers of structure, inside, inside and outside, and the clans are divided into regions.

Victor didn't know what clan it was, but the several long-horned gray prophets that appeared in the central area must be the leaders of the ratmen.

"Kill the gray prophets!" (End of this chapter)
