Laws of the Insect Hive

After continuing to observe in the sky for several hours, System found a dozen similar centipedes again.

However, the insect demon System, who was transformed by the centipede demon, did not find half of it, and he did not know what shape this giant centipede would grow to before it could be transformed into an insect demon.

The centipede demons discovered by System Tum ranged from large to small, with the largest being over one meter in size.

The small ones are only a few centimeters to a dozen centimeters. If he hadn't encountered them now, System might just think they were ordinary centipedes.

Thinking of this, System resolutely flipped through the video files in the [Tools Menu] that he had gone out with the meat ball for more than ten days ago.

as predicted.

More than ten days ago, he found a similar centipede, about 12 centimeters in length.

Because the winter in Warren Plain was not cold, and scorpions and spiders would appear occasionally, System didn’t care about the centipede at that time, and he had no idea of ​​catching it.

After several hours of investigation, especially after discovering these centipede demons that were only a few centimeters in size, System's inference that this centipede was breeding in the Warren Plain was basically confirmed.

If System's expectations were correct, the place where this centipede demon breeds should be underground, just like System's ant people.

However, System searched for a long time in the vicinity of the centipede demons, especially the places where the small centipede demons appeared, but did not find the breeding grounds of the centipede demons.

And after once again grabbing a centipede demon about 1.5 meters and making it a 0.6-meter small insect demon.

System also obtained the little bug demon's vocal cords as he wished.

It's a pity that although he modified his vocal cords with reference to the little bug demon's vocal cords, System's voice was as hoarse as before, but the hoarseness was slightly different.

It's like hitting a stone can't make the sound of metal collision, it seems that it is almost impossible to change his voice in a short time.

In the process of examining this little worm demon, System also discovered some differences between this little worm demon and the previous one.

Different from the little worm demon that grew gnoll fangs before, this little worm demon has a tail like a scorpion and has a tail needle.

Through tasting, System found that the toxin on the tail needle was not much different from that of scorpion venom. Both had a strong and bitter coffee taste, which was slightly more bitter than spider venom.

It should be related to the change of the centipede demon's [Devouring Mutation]. After each centipede demon is transformed into a small insect demon, part of the ability obtained through devouring will be inherited.

...

Although System did not find out all the secrets of the centipede demon, nor did he find out how the centipede demon was born, System also had a lot of information about the centipede demon.

At present, although these centipede demons have newly appeared in the entire Warren Plain, these centipede demons have not yet formed a climate, and the number of undead creatures wandering in the Warren Plain has not decreased significantly.

The distant gnoll town, after more than half a month, is still surrounded by undead creatures, and it seems that it has not been attacked by undead creatures. There does not seem to be a centipede demon there.

There will still be one or two wandering zombies passing by from time to time near System's lair.

But System knew that the current state of Warren Plains could not last forever.

To the centipede demon, these undead creatures are just food.

And these undead creatures that will not increase in number will eventually be eaten up by the centipede demon.

The mountains and the rain are coming, and in the next one or two months, the food chain of Warren Plain is expected to have new changes...

...

...

After several hours of investigation, System did not find the place where the centipede demon breeds in the end.

In order to prevent this kind of centipede demon from invading the lair again, System decisively gave instructions to suspend the original work of the excavator and let the excavator be responsible for guarding the entrance of the lair.

Today's underground nest covers an area of ​​nearly 200 meters, and even if his ant population expands to hundreds of thousands, it is still enough to live in.

The excavator has the ability to control the soil, which is the most suitable for the control of the entrance of the nest.

The excavator can control the closure of the entrance to the nest. As long as only a narrow passage is left at the entrance of the nest on weekdays, it will be difficult for the giant centipede to invade.

For this reason, System also criticized Black, who was in charge of guarding the lair these days, and pointed out that Black did not know how to work around it.

In fact, after discovering that this kind of giant centipede was continuously invading, it was impossible for Black to think that the entrance to the lair would be blocked by an excavator to prevent the next crisis.

But Blake didn't do this, just let the ant people newly produced by Queen Linda stop going out for food, and at the same time let Meat Ball and a few ant knights guard the entrance of the hole.

It is precisely because of this that there are many more casualties of ant knights in the nest.

However, after hearing Black's reason, System could not help but remain silent.

In fact, the entrance to the cave was rebuilt by the excavator and the entrance to the nest was blocked. Black had already thought of it, and discussed with several ants who had pupated for the second time, including the queen ant Linda.

But in the end, this proposal was rejected by Black and the other ant people.

The reason given by Black was very strange, and it left System speechless.

"Because there are vines you planted at the entrance of the cave. You also said at that time that these vines at the entrance of the cave have not changed much after a year and a half, and I miss them very much." Blake's spiritual message seemed very wronged, and again Sending a very subtle spiritual message: "We don't want these vines to change."

Black and the rest of the ant population refuse to change the entrance to the nest simply because they don't want to destroy the vines that don't matter.

But System, who thought for a while, immediately noticed something strange.

In fact, during the year and a half that he pupated, due to the arrival of the rainy season, the excavator had obviously rebuilt the entrance to the nest more than once.

These vines have actually moved several times, and even if the hole is completely sealed, these vines rooted in the ground may not die.

How come it is now, but suddenly mentioned that he does not want to let these vines move, isn't this contradictory?

System tilted his head and pondered.

How could Blake come up with such a bizarre reason?

Is it because you have just learned to lie, and you are not very good at using lies?

But why do the other ant knights, like Black, lie with Black?

System looked at Blake, and he suddenly felt something inexplicable from Blake's emotions.

Looking at the fluorescent mushrooms in the nest that were the same as those placed half a month ago, System was stunned.

System suddenly understood why Black was unwilling to change the appearance of the cave entrance for the past two weeks.

Because the year and a half of his third pupation is fundamentally different from the previous half month.

He disappeared for no reason half a month ago.

Reaching out his tentacles, System touched the black spots on the top of Black's head, and asked slowly, "Have you been worried for the past ten days?"
