Laws of the Insect Hive

However, the abyss was an unknown world after all, and System was still unable to dispel the concerns in his heart based on the spiritual information of the shadow alone.

System, who had not made up his mind, finally returned to his lair a few kilometers away.

According to the conversation with Shadow, before Shadow's fifth metamorphosis, she will stay next to System, and if she is lucky enough to complete the fifth metamorphosis, she will assassinate the old Druid Medd again. orchid.

Although Ying would not be the opponent of the old Druid even in the fifth degeneration, System did not persuade Ying, because he knew that Ying's character was extremely stubborn, and as long as she decided, she would definitely do it .

In the process of giving Shadow the ability to [regenerate severed limbs], System also used [Exploration Analysis] to obtain some information on Shadow's body.

...

Species: Grasshopper (can be renamed)

Rating: 46/125

Height: 0.62 meters

Weight: 19kg

Estimated combat power: 35—95

Special: [Degenerate Growth] (20/20), [Insect Adaptability] (21/21)

...

[Exploration Analysis] The combat power shown by Zhongying is not high, but System, who is well aware of the flaws of [Exploration Analysis], knows that the combat power shown by Shadow should be the same as that of Shava, when the stealth ability is revealed. will rise suddenly.

It is a pity that after the shadow's ability to activate the figure disappeared, System's [Exploration Analysis] seemed to have lost its target, and it was impossible to detect the shadow's combat power when it was invisible.

System also gave up.

After successfully activating the ability of Shadow [Severed Limb Regeneration] and placing the shadow in the lair, System gradually moved to an empty room in the lair where System rarely came.

In the empty room, because of the excavator, a square table made of mud was created. On the table was a translucent gem the size of a baby's fist and a silver metal chain.

This gem was the one that Shava had given him when System was waiting beside him a few dozen days ago, just after System’s third pupation had ended.

However, there were two more golden discs in this gem at this time.

In fact, after more than a year of growth, the excavator can not only handle the soil, but also the rock.

The same is true for gems, digging and using force can also make them change shape, but the process of change is extremely slow.

As for the two golden yellow discs, it was at System's request that the excavator spent a day and two nights inlaying the golden yellow discs.

Under the illumination of the magic candle, the golden discs in the crystal shimmered with a faint luster.

In System's mind, he recalled the appearance of Queen Kun of the Grasshopper, and the images of countless grasshoppers flying over the mountains and lakes.

Ever since System received the title of "Xenogeneic Insect", there have been very few images of grasshoppers flying in groups in his blood.

Flying in groups with grasshoppers in the past was very attractive to him, and every time he thought about it, his blood vessels would tremble.

But I don't know when, flying with grasshoppers in groups will no longer cause the slightest fluctuation in his heart and blood.

System picked up the metal chain he brought back from the temple treasury on the table, and passed the metal chain through the gap that the jewel pendant had made in advance.

System hesitated for a long time, and finally put the necklace pendant on his body.

"Then let me show you..."

A hoarse voice came from System's throat. This voice seemed to be speaking to Kun, the deceased Queen of Grasshoppers, as well as to himself.

I don't know since when, he became timid and lost the courage he originally had.

After wearing this pendant, System felt that there seemed to be something in his heart, which made him no longer hesitate when making a choice.

The image of the grasshopper queen flying with countless locusts appeared in System's mind again, and the trap created by the old Druid Medlan appeared in the image.

System once again showed his killing intent towards the old Druid.

But this time was different from before. Compared to killing the old Druid directly, System had a new idea.

If one day, after he has the strength that the old Druid can't resist, he will launch a locust plague in the Lierte Forest in front of the old Druid, so that the old Druid can see all this with his own eyes but can't resist.

...

...

The next day, System negotiated with Black and Shava about guarding the lair for two or three days.

He set off with the shadow and went to the location of the portal to explore.

Although he had already made the decision to let the ants migrate, System did not rashly let the ants migrate directly, but decided to investigate it himself.

And last night, System came up with an efficient migration method that would greatly increase the speed of his journey with the ant people, and he could complete the migration in a few days.

He didn't have to go so early with the ant people at all.

And the reason why System didn't bring Shava this time was because Shava, who couldn't fly, was too slow, and moving together would undoubtedly take a lot of time.

The underground ruins where the portal is located is about 800 kilometers away from here. If he and Ying fly at full strength, it will take about ten hours to reach the destination.

System and Shadow quickly flew to the northeast at high speed while checking the flight path to see if there was anything dangerous.

After these days, the deep winter of Warren Plain has gradually left, and the temperature has gradually increased these days, reaching a temperature of 3 to 5 degrees, and sporadic leaf buds have also begun to appear on the ground, as if early spring has arrived.

Along the way, apart from the fact that the headwind caused System's flight speed and physical strength to exceed expectations, nothing special happened.

The ground still passed one or two wandering undead creatures from time to time, and insect demons also appeared occasionally, either devouring the roots of plants, or attacking some of the same kind or undead creatures.

Due to the headwind, when System arrived at the entrance of the underground ruins, it had already passed from early morning to complete darkness, and fifteen hours had passed.

It is said to be the entrance to the underground ruins, but it is actually just a gap created by a ground fissure on a desolate hill, about 20 cm wide and three meters long.

Because of his size, System had to use his [Body Transformation] ability to flatten his body a bit before he could enter.

In the process of exploring the underground ruins, System did not feel any special energy fluctuations.

However, as he dived in gradually, System gradually discovered the special features of the ruins. After a distance of more than ten meters, the gap became wider, and there were many wrecks of stone buildings in System's eyes. These wrecks There are many beautiful patterns on it.

Maybe it used to be a beautiful city many years ago.

Unfortunately, System searched for a while during the move, but found no biological remains.

But near the stone debris of a building, System found a rusted metal palm and half a metal arm, which had the feeling of a metal golem.

Using his tentacles and the power of [Dragon Scale Spikes] that can easily destroy stones, System didn't take long to find a golem-like wreck...
