Laws of the Insect Hive

After System's repeated intimidation, this snail with a high IQ and was extremely afraid of death became a lot more honest and told his experience calmly.

This snail has a name and is called Jace. It belongs to an abyss creature with a magical rank and has the ability to create vivid illusions and charms.

Soon Jace had it fooled the lizardmen and seduced the tyrant slime to confess all the crimes, and told System about the situation around him.

Having such a native who knew the abyss very well gave System a deeper understanding of the abyss.

In short, System's current location is a place called Monad Swamp by the creatures of the abyss.

The name Monet comes from a powerful legendary dragon. At the beginning, Monet's dragon lair was in the center of this swamp. Later, Monet disappeared for some reason, but the previous name is still used here.

System didn't ask much about the origin of the name Monad, but rather asked the snail about the area of ​​the Monad swamp, its biological composition, and what was outside the Monad swamp.

System soon learned that there was still a swamp beyond the Monad swamp, and there was no clear boundary with the outside world.

This level of the abyss is basically a swamp, with little land and hills, and there is basically no difference.

The snail Jess, who has no measuring tools, is not very clear about the extent of the Monad swamp, but only said that riding the long-legged lizard beast will take more than ten days.

Although there is no difference between day and night at this level of the abyss, the bubbles in the swamp have an obvious regularity, which will stop and open every 12 hours. The time in the abyss is also measured according to the law of the swamp bubbles, and The time in the Overworld is the same.

On the upper level of the food chain in the Monad Swamp, in addition to the magical lords in the neutral area where System was located, there were more large and small lizardmen tribes, these lizardmen tribes fought endlessly for years to occupy the territory.

The reason why the lizardmen have been fighting for years is not only looting resources and robbing female lizardmen, but also for the treasure of Monad.

In the past two hundred years, I don't know where the news came from. It is said that as long as all the Monad Swamp is occupied, you will get the inheritance of the legendary dragon Monad and the blood of the dragon.

The blood of the giant dragon has an unimaginable temptation for the lizardmen who advocate the dragon family. In addition, there has never been an absolutely powerful lizardman in these years, so the tribes of the lizardmen have been fighting for two hundred years.

The snail Jess seems to know a lot about the Monad swamp. According to Jess, the top creatures in the Monad swamp are extraordinary, and there are only a dozen or less extraordinary creatures.

Among the dozens of lizardmen tribes, there are three super-ranked lizardmen. In addition, there is a pair of poisonous flying dragon nests in the southwest of the Monad Swamp, with two super-ranked flying dragons.

In addition, the species with the most extraordinary ranks in the Manaid Swamp is System's old friend, the Tyrant Slime, and there are about five or six in the entire Manaid Swamp.

After hearing Jess the Snail's explanation, System also learned that the chances of him encountering the Tyrant Slime were actually not high.

There are a lot of giant slimes in the Monad swamp, which belong to the magical rank, but the number of tyrant slimes with purple cores inside the giant slimes is actually very rare.

...

Under System's questioning, the snail Jace also confessed its purpose.

It turned out that the snail obtained an oval-shaped magic crystal from the lizardmen tribe, and obtained induction from the magic crystal to obtain a relic orientation.

The snail obtained the magic crystal is actually the key to activate the ruins.

After learning the news, Shadow quickly found the oval-shaped magic crystal near the spot where the snail was captured, and handed it to System's hands.

Unfortunately, just like he couldn't activate the teleportation array, System couldn't sense this magic crystal either.

Only Jace the Shadow and the Snail can make this magic crystal glow faintly blue.

It seems that the power of shadow stealth is very close to the power of the snail's illusion, so it can produce similar effects. Shadow can accurately find the position of the snail at that time, which is also related to the closeness of the power of the two.

Through the shadow's sensing of the location of the ruins, the location of the ruins was exactly where System had teleported to the abyss.

...

The snail Jace deceived the two lizardmen and lured the tyrant slime to open the way ahead, just to go to this ruin and activate it.

After all, snails have no self-protection ability. In the face of intelligent life, it can achieve a certain effect by creating a terrifying atmosphere, but after encountering magical creatures without intelligence, they will be attacked without hesitation.

These magical creatures occupying territory in neutral areas are stronger than ordinary magical rank lizardmen because they have been in a state of slaughter and battle for a long time.

So the snail Jace instructed two lizardmen to lure a tyrant slime to clean up the nearby magical creatures with territory.

It was just like that, after the lizardmen who had lured the tyrant slime came here, they were blocked by System.

As for the words that the two lizardmen said before they died, they were completely deceived by the snail's lie and had no meaning.

It can be said that until the two lizardmen died, they were still immersed in the lies of the snail Jace, thinking that after their death, they would fall into the arms of the evil god and gain eternal life.

Through the snail's introduction to the Monad swamp, System can let his ant people breed with peace of mind, without worrying that the rapid expansion of the ants will attract the targeting of intelligent races and put him in any trouble.

Not only that, this snail not only deceived the two lizardmen who were kept in the dark, but also deceived an entire small lizardmen tribe. Thirty-seven lizardmen were under its control, and four of them were magical. rank.

It's a pity that there are only two of the four magical rank lizardmen left because of the accident that just happened.

System, who controlled the snail Jace, could be said to indirectly control the thirty or so lizardmen who had been brainwashed by Jace.

With the help of Shadow, this lizardman tribe can also be annexed by other lizardmen, allowing him to indirectly control more lizardmen.

The Snail Brainwashing Lizardman Tribe is not very far from where System is located. According to the description of Snail Jess, System estimates that it is about ten to twenty kilometers away from here.

...

Although I don’t know if the snail’s words are all true, System can verify them one by one in the future.

What System could immediately verify was the ruins. He quickly brought the rest of the bugs to the ruins where they were teleporting, less than one kilometer away from where he was.

Through the shadow's feelings about the magic crystal, there should be a strange and huge building buried in this ruins...
