Laws of the Insect Hive

Chapter 109 Black and the Butterfly (Part 2)

It could be an hour or two later, it could be three or five days later, and Blake would be dead.

It won't be long...

More than a month ago, System had strengthened Black's [Pupation] talent to the point where he could perform a second pupation.

Although Black was inherently deficient, System wasted a lot of experience points to strengthen Black.

The strengthening of System also finally succeeded.

But compared to the strengthening of the [Pupation] talent, Black's level has been stuck at level 10, and he has been unable to reach level 11 for the second pupation.

No matter how much nutrient-dense food Blake eats, her rank can't continue to rise.

As of now, the only thing that can prolong Blake's life is an incomplete pupation, like a second pupation that Shava is forced to undergo in the ice and snow.

Only in this way can there be a silver lining for Blake.

However, System didn't know how to stimulate this incomplete pupation, and Black's physique was too fragile compared to Shava.

If Shava's incomplete pupation success rate is 30 percent, Black's success rate is less than 1 percent.

...

...

Even knowing she was going to die, Blake didn't change much, and continued to do her work in the lair as usual.

In the early morning of the second day, much earlier than System expected, the butterfly suspected of being the remnant of the Glacier Lord finally began to break out of the chrysalis.

Before the chrysalis attached to frost broke out, a strong frost broke out, and System had to move the chrysalis that had turned into an ice ball out of the nest.

It didn't take long for the butterfly, which had been trapped in the chrysalis, to struggle to get out with the sound of ice cubes breaking and the excitement from the butterfly.

However, the butterfly that came out gradually became a little different.

Although inside the chrysalis, System has always been called a "great being", and it has also received video data from System about ordinary butterflies emerging from their chrysalis.

But when Butterfly really saw System's appearance, and his wrinkled body, Butterfly's joy of getting out of trouble immediately disappeared, and there was a very disappointed mood.

The remnant soul of the Glacier Lord, who had always praised System as a "great existence", only sent a very disdainful spiritual message to System after escaping from the chrysalis.

"Tsk."

It was like a very disdainful smacking sound, and after that, Butterfly turned his head aside and did not look at Xian System.

However, the compound eyes of insects belonged to 360 degrees of vision without blind spots, and no matter how he moved his head, the butterfly could keep an eye on System.

So the butterfly's mood seems a little excited.

The gap between ideal and reality seems too great.

The remnant soul of the Glacier Lord seemed to be wondering how things could become like this, lying motionless on the ground while stretching the straw in its mouth.

Although the remnant soul of the Glacier Lord knew that he was a butterfly, the butterfly it understood was very different from the butterfly that System had told him about.

It always thought that it would turn into a huge butterfly that was close to ten meters, and System was a great insect that controlled the power of space.

However, in reality, it just turned into a little butterfly not much bigger than a human slap, and that "great existence" was just a garbage monster less than half a meter tall, but the monster's eyes were very familiar and special.

...

The butterfly that broke out of the chrysalis stayed in place abnormally.

System had imagined the scene after many of the remnants of the Glacier Lord emerged from the chrysalis.

There is the remnant soul of the Glacier Lord who silently turned into a butterfly, and then flew away without a sound; it recovered its memory after breaking out of the chrysalis; and after it emerged from the chrysalis, remembering System’s help, yes. He expressed his gratitude; there were also the remnants of the Glacier Lord who suddenly became insane, used power indiscriminately, and started killing...

But among all System's assumptions, none of the remnants of the Glacier Lord would have such a self-sacrificing reaction.

The Glacier Lord didn't even think about shaking and stretching his wings.

It seemed that it was just going to stay in place like this, gradually turning into a deformed butterfly that would never fly.

System knew that if it continued like this, the butterfly’s wings would never be able to open after only ten minutes.

System delivered a timely spiritual message to remind: "Hurry up and move your wings, otherwise you will never be able to open your wings."

"Tsk."

The Butterfly's response to System was the same as before, disdainful as always, no longer like the praise and praise it once praised and praised the "great existence" in the chrysalis.

It just stayed in place silently, poking at the dirt on the grass with the straw in its mouth from time to time.

Butterfly's mouthparts are only responsible for sucking nectar. Even a butterfly that has undergone secondary pupation has very soft mouthparts, so even if the ground is relatively soft soil, the butterfly's straw cannot pierce it, instead it will be pierced by the soil. Bend its straw...

System could feel that the emotions emanating from the butterfly became extremely sad the moment the straw was bent.

The butterfly was crazy, poking at the soil on the ground with the straw in its mouth, as if to vent its dissatisfaction.

System thought that the butterfly's straw was likely to be punctured by this, but it didn't. Even though the butterfly's head swayed violently, the straw on its head was not damaged.

Although the straw of the butterfly is soft, it is what the butterfly lives on, soft and tough.

System looked at the state of the butterfly and shook his head helplessly.

If this butterfly is just an ordinary butterfly, it has nothing to do with the Glacier Lord.

System might kill the butterfly to eat, or at least grab the butterfly with its tentacles and throw it away because of Ying’s argument, but he will definitely not have any ink on the butterfly.

But now...

"It's useless for you to be so angry. If you don't spread your wings, you will regret it."

System continued to send spiritual messages to the butterfly, but the butterfly seemed to have not heard it, and still poked the soil with its straw, but the frequency was much slower.

"Humph!"

After a while, the butterfly transformed into the remnant soul of the Glacier Lord responded with a cold snort to System.

And as if opposing System, the butterfly whose wings were not spread suddenly rolled on the ground.

The butterfly's wings inevitably got stuck with some dirt and dead grass, and its wrinkled wings became more wrinkled.

With the passage of time, after a few minutes, the butterfly's wrinkled wings have dried up and solidified, and the blue scales on the wings have also fallen off a lot.

System knew that the butterfly formed by the remnant soul of the Glacier Lord could no longer fly, and had completely turned into a deformed butterfly.

But this butterfly still didn't care that it kept rolling in the soil, and didn't care that its body had become what it is today.

Just when System was thinking about what to do with the butterfly, Blake, the worker ant that was dying, appeared in System’s sight.

Black seemed to have seen System's communication with the butterfly.

She angrily rushed towards the butterfly that was rolling on the ground, and aimed at the belly of the butterfly with her claws.

This is the first real contact between an ant who is about to reach the end of its life but wants to live, and a butterfly whose life is still very long but has died.

Chapter 110, Black and the Butterfly (Part 2)

Seeing Blake biting the butterfly, System was slightly stunned, but soon System stretched out his tentacles and pulled Blake away.

System didn’t think that Black would do any harm to the butterfly, but worried that the butterfly would be angry because of Black’s attack, releasing frost energy to freeze Black.

But System was more concerned. Although Butterfly had a strong frost power, he had no idea of ​​resisting, and still rolled his body in the mud and grass on his own.

"King, why is it different from us? Doesn't it know that you are the king?"

After being put down by System, Black seemed to have recovered a little from his anger and asked System in confusion.

System looked at Black and then at the deformed butterfly still rolling in the dirt.

System didn't answer, just shook his head helplessly.

He never had the luxury of taking the Butterfly with the remnant soul of the Glacier Lord under his command, but when he saw the current state of the Glacier Lord, System couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

System did not answer Black's question, but said to Black: "Little Hei, leave it alone, let's prepare for incomplete pupation, after all, time is running out."

"Wang, can you use the power of [Mind Network] to connect me to this unreasonable butterfly?"

Black did not follow System's instructions, but made a request to System, as if he wanted to use the ability of [Mind Network] to connect with the butterfly and teach the butterfly who offended the king with words.

"It's useless. In its current state, nothing can be heard."

System shook his head again, but still obeyed Black's request and used the ability of [Mind Network] to connect Black with the deformed butterfly.

System was actually a little curious as to what Black wanted to say to this self-defeating butterfly.

...

...

I don't know how long I have been imprisoned in this dark space. Ola desperately wants to get out from here. He is too bored here.

Aura forgot what his name was, but the great being said a name that Aura felt familiar and liked, so he called himself Aura.

He seems to have a memory, but the memory of the past has disappeared, so how he was trapped here, Ola can't remember at all.

He couldn't even remember what he looked like.

He only remembered that he was very strong, that many people feared him, and many people admired him and waited for his return.

He seems to have several enemies, but he doesn't remember what the enemies are.

No matter what, Ola must first go out from here, and use the power of that great being to get out of this dark space.

Aura knew that he was now a chrysalis, based on the images that the great being sent him.

He can't leave this space yet, but after a short while, he will turn into a butterfly, and then break through this space and leave here.

Although the butterfly has no tusks, its head has a retractable spike, which Aura estimates should be very powerful.

It should be able to penetrate his enemy's brain and suck the enemy's brain.

The butterfly also has two pairs of huge wings, one large and one small. Aura feels that with these huge wings of more than ten meters, it will definitely be easy to fly, and it can also fan out an extremely violent wind.

And the butterfly also has six legs, two more than four legs.

Ola, who was fantasizing about the future when he emerged from a chrysalis, suddenly discovered something. It seemed that his original body had four legs.

But when he recalled it carefully, Ola still couldn't remember what he looked like before, and he couldn't even be sure whether he originally had four legs.

...

Time passed by little by little, Ola was sometimes awake, sometimes asleep, and his strength gradually became stronger.

Aura could feel that the pressure of this space on him was getting lower and lower, and he could break through this space at any time.

The great being had once told him that it would not take long for him to escape from this dimension.

But Ola felt that he had been trapped in this dark space for more than a hundred years.

Ola didn't know that after more than a hundred years, it was just his illusion.

Because there is no reference to things, Aura just uses his subconscious notion of time.

For a butterfly that has pupated for the second time, dozens of days have taken up a large proportion of the lifespan of the butterfly for several years, just like the lifespan of Aura's original dragon for more than 100 years.

It is precisely because of this illusion of more than 100 years that Ola has a more "clear" understanding of the "great being", and being able to describe more than 100 years of time as a very fast existence is definitely an extraordinary person. The presence.

...

However, all that Ola was looking forward to was shattered the moment he emerged from the chrysalis.

The wrinkled wings were weak and weak, and he saw the weeds on the side. It turned out that his current body was not as tall as the weeds.

He turned out to be just such a "butterfly", and that "great existence" was simply a garbage monster. It seemed that as long as he took a breath, the tentacle insect would be frozen into ice and debris.

Ola fantasized about him opening his mouth and spewing cold air at the trash insect.

However, Ola found that he had no mouth at all, just straightened the soft straw on his mouth, and nothing was ejected from the straw.

"Tsk."

Ola didn't know how to express his current mood, and in the end he could only send a disdainful spiritual message to the garbage insect named System.

If he had the power he imagined in the chrysalis, that garbage monster had already been killed dozens of times by him at that moment.

Ola regretted it, he shouldn't have asked the trash tentacle to let him come out of the chrysalis.

Although it was hard for him to be trapped in the chrysalis, at least he was still a powerful being in the chrysalis, not the butterfly he is now.

Maybe being trapped in the chrysalis and then dying is the ending he deserves.

If that's the case, he doesn't have to be what he is now.

...

Ola kept rolling in the dirt.

Wrinkled wings that won't open?

What if it can't be opened.

Even if he has intact wings and can fly, isn't he still a garbage butterfly?

What difference does it make if you can fly or not.

Ola rolled harder on the soil, and he wanted to prove this to the strange-looking insect covered in tentacles—even if he couldn't open his wings, he wouldn't regret it.

However, while Ola was tumbling in the dirt, Ola felt a tingling pain in his abdomen. It turned out that an unknown bug bit his abdomen.

Aura was a little angry, even with the power he had now, it would not be a problem to freeze the little bug that provoked him.

But in a second, Ola lost his breath.

Bite it.

Just kill me.

But after waiting for a long time, Ola, who was rolling in the mud, did not find that the little bug continued to bite him. It turned out that the trash tentacle grabbed the little bug with his tentacles.

It didn't take long for Ola to hear the little bug's spiritual message to him: "Why are you being so rude to the king?"

king?

Can something like that be called a king?

Aura subconsciously wanted to refute with disdainful language, but after thinking about it, Aura didn't answer in the end. What does the garbage monster have to do with him calling himself a king.

"Tsk."

In response to a disdainful mocking sound, Ola stopped rolling in the dirt and began to lie down quietly beside the wild grass.

The little thing was still saying something to him, but Ola pretended not to hear it.

Ola decided not to think about it, and planned to take a nap.
