Chapter 960 [957] The Spread of Terror

A few days later.

Cat Xiao Miao, transformed into a plague bringer, slaughtered another Vine Monster gathering point.

The cat-eared girl employed the same killing methods as before.

Namely:

Silently approaching the Vine Monster tribe and releasing the "Gray-White Plague," which was a tiny bit of divine light.

When a Vine Monster passed by, it inadvertently became infected with the Gray-White Plague and brought it back to the tribe.

Finally, the plague suddenly erupted and spread throughout the entire tribe in an extremely short period.

Before long.

Not a single living creature remained in the entire tribe, only lifelike stone sculptures.

In recent days.

Cat Xiao Miao used this method to continuously slaughter dozens of Vine Monster tribes, both large and small.

The number of Vine Monsters that died as a result was no less than two hundred thousand.

The little cat girl absorbed the lessons learned from the Foodie Boss and maintained a good habit of acting cautiously.

She never appeared in front of any Vine Monster, nor did she step into the territory of any Vine Monster tribe, but rather wandered like a ghost.

Naturally.

The Gray-White Plague's rampant spread caused a huge panic among the surrounding Vine Monster tribes.

At this moment.

The little cat girl stood on top of a hill, and from a distance, she saw a Vine Monster tribe leaving their gathering place en masse and beginning to trek into the distance.

Clearly.

This group of Vine Monsters was frightened by the Gray-White Plague and planned to migrate to a more distant area to escape this terrible disaster.

The cat-eared girl gazed into the distance, lightly "hmph"ed, and a hint of killing intent flashed in her eyes: "You won't escape this cat's grasp!"

In the past.

She would have probably taken action directly.

But now.

Cat Xiao Miao was not in a hurry to act, but instead hid safely in a concealed place, carefully observing various details.

Soon.

The little cat girl made a quick deduction and noticed something unusual: "That King-level Vine Monster seems to have a faint divine power fluctuation within its body?"

The so-called "King-level Vine Monster" was equivalent to a Profound Overseer expert of the Myriad Heavens Race.

Since Vine Monsters' use of extraordinary power was very crude, severely lacking in skill, and they often relied only on brute force, their combat power was generally lower than that of a Profound Overseer.

Cat Xiao Miao thought for a moment and decisively reported the situation to her master: "Master, this cat has discovered..."

She used a few words to quickly introduce the situation.

The cat-eared girl finally gave her judgment: "This cat suspects that the Vine Monster race's god wants to deal with me by using a fishing tactic."

A few seconds later.

Cheng Han replied: "Your judgment is very correct!"

He then praised: "Maintaining sufficient vigilance is a very good quality, and in the future, I can confidently entrust you with more important tasks."

The little cat girl puffed out her chest and happily wagged her tail: "I am very happy to serve Master!"

Cheng Han did not stand on ceremony and directly threw a big task over: "I need you to use the Gray-White Plague to slaughter more than 90% of the Vine Monsters."

Cat Xiao Miao responded loudly: "Understood!"

She then said: "Master, doing so will inevitably pit me against the Vine Monster god. How should this cat deal with the god?"

Cheng Han was already prepared: "These past few days, while you were using the Gray-White Plague, I carefully studied the infection process of the plague and made a lot of improvements to it."

After igniting the Law Divine Fire, the Divine Fire was not immutable, but rather needed to be continuously optimized to enhance its power.

"Previously, the Gray-White Plague was spread through 'contact,' and the infection efficiency was a bit unsatisfactory. This time, I focused on improving this aspect..."

The cat-eared girl twitched her ears and interjected: "A little divine power to petrify a fifty-kilometer Vine Forest is already very strong!"

Cheng Han asked a question: "If the plague could be spread through the 'mind,' wouldn't the spread speed become faster?"

He said a little more specifically: "For example, a Vine Monster has not come into contact with the plague, but has only heard the name of the plague, and then becomes infected with the plague."

Cat Xiao Miao was immediately shocked: "How is that possible?"

The example described by her master really exceeded her imagination.

Cheng Han chuckled: "Nothing is impossible!"

In between words.

"Buzz~"

The sound of strings trembled.

A mysterious power projected down, and within the cat-eared girl's sea of consciousness, new imprints quickly condensed one after another.

The Law Projection String then changed, and the imprints that made up the thin strings underwent earth-shattering changes.

For a long time.

The cat-eared girl comprehended all the wonderful uses of the Projection String and couldn't help but open her mouth wide: "This kind of Mind Plague is too terrifying!"

According to her master's explanation, the plague spreads through a method called the "Chain of the Mind."

The most incredible thing was that the Chain of the Mind had the ability to strengthen itself. The more lives that heard of the plague, the stronger this thing became, and the faster the infection speed became.

The little cat girl immediately understood: "It seems that Master plans to use the Thorn Vine Realm as a testing ground to perfect the Gray-White Plague."

She couldn't help but feel full of anticipation: "The potential contained in the Gray-White Plague seems to be more than just a Lower Order Law. A Middle Order Law is also very possible."

A Lower Order Law corresponds to the divine rank of a Lesser God, or a Divine General.

A Middle Order Law corresponds to the rank of a Chief God, or a Divine Lord.

Cat Xiao Miao once again expressed her admiration for her master: "Master is really too amazing!"

Her gaze turned to the distance, locking onto the migrating Vine Monster tribe: "Tonight, this cat will give you something to remember!"

*

Night fell.

Endless darkness enveloped the earth.

The Vine Monster was a savage and brutal race, and their civilization was also quite primitive and backward, with almost no culture or art to speak of.

These six-legged monsters only did three things at night—mating, eating, and sleeping.

Strong male Vine Monsters divided up the females and casually found a corner to do indescribable things.

Weak male Vine Monsters, like perverts, secretly peeped at the powerful tribe's wild battles.

Most Vine Monsters did not care about being watched, but just buried their heads and worked non-stop.

A few Vine Monsters did not like being peeped at, especially the higher-status males. Once they noticed a peeper, they would rush up and beat the other party violently.

Thus.

The temporary camp was filled with panting and cries of pain.

Until the night was deep.

The camp finally quieted down.

The vast majority of Vine Monsters entered dreamland, with various snores rising and falling.

At this time.

Many weak Vine Monsters successively entered bizarre and motley dreams.

They dreamed that they were being chased by huge gray-white monsters, fleeing in embarrassment for half the night, and finally being caught up by the monsters and swallowed into their stomachs.

The Vine Monsters were frightened and woke up, only to find that it was just a dream.

They forgot the dream content in the blink of an eye and fell asleep again, farting and snoring.

*

Far away.

Cat Xiao Miao smiled triumphantly: "The seed of the plague has been planted, and the god didn't even notice it. Master's dream secret technique is really brilliant!"

The little cat girl truly felt that using dreams to spread the Gray-White Plague silently was indeed much safer than spreading it directly.

She turned her head and looked at the two Vine Monsters that were tied up tightly.

They were the source of the dream.

The spread of the plague dream was similar to "resonance." The two Vine Monsters constantly dreamed of the Gray-White Plague, and the distant Vine Monsters resonated with them, which is why they fell into the dream.

This method of spreading was relatively slow in the early stages, with an infection rate of less than 5%, and the Vine Monsters couldn't even remember the dream.

But the advantage was that it was extremely concealed, and even the gods did not notice anything unusual.

Such an awesome method really gave the little cat girl a sense of amazement.

"Pa!"

Cat Xiao Miao casually snapped her fingers.

Two sparks floated up and hit the two Vine Monsters respectively.

Fierce flames burst out instantly, turning them into ashes in the blink of an eye, and then the ashes disappeared silently.

The cat-eared girl stood up and looked in another direction, muttering: "This side is over, let's go find the next target."

According to the calculation results, there was another Vine Monster tribe there.

"Hoo~"

The night wind swept past.

The little cat girl disappeared.

*

The next day.

The sky was already bright.

The tribe leader woke up.

It rudely kicked away a pile of females next to it, raised its head and roared a few times, and then used a vine whip to heavily whip its subordinates.

"Pa!"

"Pa!"

Loud whipping sounds continued to ring out, accompanied by the wailing of the Vine Monsters.

With each whip, a deep whip mark was left on the body of the person being beaten.

Although this practice looked brutal, it was a common occurrence in the Vine Monster tribe.

The Vine Monsters being whipped would only regard it as a matter of course.

Soon.

Under the leadership of the leader, the entire Vine Monster tribe embarked on its journey again.

The Vine Monsters' journey was simply full of tricks.

Some Vine Monsters walked and walked, suddenly drilled into the grass, fished out some food and stuffed it into their mouths.

Some Vine Monsters walked and walked and secretly left the team to find a place to shit and pee.

A small Vine Monster was caught by the supervisor while squatting.

The supervisor first beat it up violently, and then forced it to eat the shit.

This unlucky guy was escorted back to the team and was ridiculed and humiliated by all his tribesmen.

But the Vine Monster was really a heartless, shameless species.

After the small Vine Monster was taught a lesson, it was actually an indifferent look again.

Just like that.

The Vine Monster tribe marched noisily all day, with countless trivial and petty fights and fights occurring along the way.

By the evening.

The Vine Monster tribe conducted a hunt, capturing a lot of prey, plus the dug-out fruits and roots, barely solved the problem of food and clothing.

Then the Vine Monsters hastily set up camp, repeated the broken things from last night, and fell into dreamland again.

This night.

More Vine Monsters dreamed of gray-white, with the proportion probably increasing to one-tenth.

The next day, after they woke up, they forgot the dream content as usual.

However.

A slight change occurred on the third day.

Between the words of the Vine Monsters, they began to talk more and more about the Gray-White Plague.

This was naturally influenced by the dream seed.

*

Three days passed in a flash.

The tribal leader, the King-level Vine Monster, finally realized that something was wrong.

The dozen or so females around it were talking about the Gray-White Plague almost the entire time during the morning's journey.

It paid attention and observed that not only its harem, but the entire tribe was secretly communicating about the Gray-White Plague.

The leader realized that something was wrong and felt fear for the first time.

It deliberately lost its temper and picked out dozens of Vine Monsters and whipped them hard.

However.

After a while.

The Vine Monsters began to discuss the Gray-White Plague again.

The leader was furious and selected several Vine Monsters and tortured them to death in public.

The other Vine Monsters were silent.

The leader nodded with satisfaction and was about to order its subordinates to continue moving forward when its four pupils suddenly shrank.

It saw very clearly that next to a corpse, two weeds soaked in blood had turned into stones at some point.

Petrification!

This is the Gray-White Plague!

The leader's heart thumped a few times.

It thought for a while, left a dozen Vine Monsters behind, and drove the other Vine Monsters away.

The leader grinned hideously and temporarily conducted a live sacrifice.

A trace of divine power descended from the air.

A dozen Vine Monsters seemed to have experienced thousands of years of time, aging at an extremely fast speed, and finally turned into shriveled mummies.

Then.

A cloud of black mist shaped like a Vine Monster appeared out of thin air.

This was obviously a projection of a god.

According to the Vine Monsters' name, They were called—the Lord of the Divine Vine.

The leader respectfully prostrated on the ground and quickly explained the matter.

The Lord of the Divine Vine swept the petrified weeds with cold eyes and hissed a few times.

This was saying: You have already been infected with the Gray-White Plague.

After saying that.

In the Divine Lord of the Divine Vine's divine eyes, a naked killing intent was revealed.

The leader was horrified and turned to escape at the fastest speed.

It understood very well that the Divine Lord of the Divine Vine planned to destroy the entire tribe.

The infected Vine Monster, when encountered by the god, was naturally bound to die.

And it witnessed the god's incompetence and was also on the god's death list.

Because the god had already descended a trace of divine power, but failed to detect the infection.

Witnessing the god's disgrace was blasphemy against the god, so the god wanted to kill it.

Unfortunately, the leader was no different from an ant in the face of a god.

The next second.

"Puff!"

A black vine broke out of the ground and effortlessly pierced the leader's body, instantly sucking it into a mummy.

A trace of divine power fluctuation surged within the Divine Lord of the Divine Vine's body.

An even greater change occurred.

Thousands of vines emerged, accurately piercing thousands of Vine Monsters, instantly draining their life force.

Instant kill!

Or total annihilation!

The Lord of the Divine Vine withdrew its divine power, with a hint of confusion in its expression: "How exactly is the plague spreading?"

In a short period of time.

It had already checked the corpse several times, but failed to find the source of the infection.

This god could only judge that the plague's method of spreading was very strange, and it seemed to be spread through the mind.

As for the laws governing the soul and spirit, they were notoriously profound and obscure, and He didn't understand the specific principles behind them.

The Lord of the Divine Vine already understood that the enemy of the Vine Monster race was an exceptionally cunning and powerful individual.

*

On the other side.

Cat Xiao Miao sensed that the first batch of hosts for the plague seeds had all died.

The cat-eared girl knew without a doubt that this was the work of a god.

She couldn't help but pat her chest, "Fortunately, Master bestowed the secret art of the Mind Plague, otherwise this Meow might have been caught by the god."

The little cat girl performed a deduction and, finding no danger to herself, happily muttered, "As expected, Master is still a cut above the rest."

Master had not yet ascended to godhood, yet he had already left a genuine god helpless.

One could imagine.

If Master formally condensed his godhead, he would definitely beat the other party to a pulp.
