Laws of the Insect Hive

This kind of survival emotion is like the emotion of a plant, and it is also somewhat similar to a mushroom, or System's old friend Slime.

System soon found a fist-sized piece of meat in the scattered minced meat that was shaking slightly, and at the same time, he could clearly feel the weak emotion in the piece of meat, like the end of his life.

System used his tentacles to [perceive] for a while, and after finding nothing unusual, he tore off some flesh from the meat and put it into his mouth to taste.

The taste of the meat piece is still the sweet and spicy taste of the abyss creature, and it also has some undead creature odor, but compared with other dead meat pieces, the undead smell attached to this piece of meat is very weak.

And System found that although the flesh and blood was filled with the chaotic aura from the abyss, the emotions of the flesh itself were very simple.

Like ordinary plants, there are only two emotions: survival and growth.

System suddenly thought of something, and a faint green light appeared on his tentacles, which was the Druid's [healing power].

With the appearance of this green light, the gradually quivering flesh on System's tentacles began to quiet down, and no longer wailed like the previous one.

Because of the life force of [Healing Power], the undead aura inside the meat block was continuously eliminated, and the meat block also returned to calm, becoming like a plant seed. Only when System tapped hard with his tentacles would it be restored again. Send out some subtle emotions.

Reminiscent of plant seeds, a slightly darker green light appeared in System's tentacles again. This time, System did not use [Healing Power] again, but started to use another ability [Growing Plants].

The power of [Growing Plants] seems to be even more pronounced than the power of [Healing Power]. System found that the piece of flesh grasped by the tentacles quickly wriggled, and it didn't take long for the mass of flesh to sprout and grow. Got some fleshy roots.

Due to System's several tentative actions, the piece of meat that should have died came back to life.

Not only that, after making this mass of meat grow bloody fleshy roots, it seems that it was because of the power of [Growing Plants], System had an inexplicable connection with this mass of meat.

For example, pulling out some of the fleshy roots on the meat block, as long as the distance is not too far, System will sense all of this.

Exactly why this connection occurred, System still couldn't fully understand, but if System's inference was correct, the Druid's power should have played a role.

And it was precisely because of this special connection that System had conflicting ideas about how to deal with this lump of meat.

Normally speaking, bringing this group of demon worms back to the nest for cultivation is tantamount to cultivating a bomb that will detonate at any time.

Not to mention the centipede demon produced by the worm's nest for the time being, if this cultivated worm's nest attracts the death knight again, it is definitely not the result System wants to see.

So System's original plan was to throw away this piece of meat, or kill and eat it.

But when System discovered that the use of [Growing Plants] had created a wonderful connection with the Devil's Nest, System had other ideas.

If he continues to use [Growing Plants] and has a deeper connection with the worm's nest, can the demon centipede produced by the worm's nest be driven by him?

Once this thought appeared, it lingered in System's mind.

...

Bringing the piece of meat back to the lair is likely to cause unpredictable disasters, but System would be very reluctant to not bring this piece of meat back.

Just as System was tangled, System suddenly thought of something and immediately became enlightened.

Why is he so troubled?

There is absolutely no need for him to bring this piece of meat back to the lair.

Today's excavators only need dozens of minutes to dig underground passages that are 100 meters deep. He can build an experimental base a few kilometers away from the original nest, specializing in the research of the nest of demon insects.

At his flying speed, it only takes a few minutes to fly within a range of several kilometers, and there will be no delay at all.

In this way, even if this worm's lair is destroyed by the death knight, it will not have any effect on System's lair.

...

...

System's plan was successfully implemented. With the help of an excavator five kilometers away from the lair, System successfully built a 100-meter-deep experimental base, and confronted demons in this base. Insect Nest is cultivated.

System found that the cultivation of the worm's nest is very simple, and there is no need to prepare food for these flesh and blood roots.

In addition to not needing to absorb sunlight, the nest of the devil is like a plant, and it can grow by plundering nutrients from the soil.

After leaving it for only one day, System did not use the ability of [Growing Plants], and this group of plants covered with fleshy roots grew by a third.

The fleshy roots on the meat block spread around like the branches of a plant, and grow about ten centimeters in one day.

And through this growth method of the worm's nest, System also learned why the underground where the worm's nest was located had such a huge cavity.

It is precisely because of the absorption of the soil by the nest of demon insects that a huge cavity is formed in the ground.

However, after cultivating this kind of worm's nest for several days in a row, as System's understanding of the worm's nest deepened, System found that the worm's nest he cultivated was missing an important thing.

System has used [Catalytic Growth] to cultivate the Devil's Nest for seven days. The Devil's Nest has also grown rapidly, with a diameter of nearly half a meter. The outer fleshy roots have grown to a length of about seven meters. The trunk of the beard has also become the thickness of a baby's arm.

But System found that the worm's nest he cultivated did not have the ability to lay eggs, and no matter how big it grew, it would only grow from one worm's nest to more worm's nests like potatoes. .

It seems that the Nest of Demons still lacks something special to activate, otherwise it will never be able to lay eggs. It can only grow aimlessly by swallowing the soil in the ground like a strange plant or mushroom.

System also suspended the research on the worm's nest for this reason. At the same time, in order to prevent the worm's nest he cultivated from multiplying rapidly in a short period of time, System would make the worm's nest every once in a while. The flesh and blood roots of the worms are cleaned up to prevent the scale of the worm's nest from expanding.

...

On such a day, System's [intuition] once again showed an inexplicable feeling, and at the same time, System's tentacles also smelled a familiar and unfamiliar aura.

The shadow that went to the abyss has returned...
