Laws of the Insect Hive

"Wang, the worker ant knights patrolling the territory today are missing 3, 11 died, and 33 common ants died."

Black, who was in charge of statistics, reported to System at the Crystal Throne, and at the same time sent a form to System in the form of a spiritual message.

Black's form is created through the [Tools Menu] function attached to [Data Template].

Under Black's suggestion, System further transformed the [Data Template] given to Black and added some office software functions.

The intelligent Blake easily learned the use of these office software, which has become more and more handy these days.

Black also made a map of the underground space of the floating island for System, and kept track of the progress of the excavator's exploration of the floating island.

"There are more casualties today. It seems that the environment in the abyss is indeed much harsher. Even the ant knight who has pupated for the second time will suffer a lot of casualties, which would not have happened in the Warren Plain at all."

Although he felt sorry for the death of the ants, System knew that as long as the ants were to expand in the abyss, such casualties would be unavoidable.

"If it weren't for the recent expansion of the territory, this casualty would have been reduced by two-thirds. This is the location where these ants died and disappeared." Black sent a spiritual message to System, and at the same time told the Sith where the ants died. Tem sent over.

After receiving Black's spiritual message, System nodded, so it seemed that the casualties of the ants would decrease after a while.

Due to System's instructions, Meatball expanded the territory from 200 meters above the ground to 500 meters, which directly increased the area fivefold.

Although most of the threatening creatures in the realm have been cleared by Meatball, Shava, and Shadow, there will always be some abyss creatures who hide and escape.

These hiding creatures are mostly chameleons in the swamps, and purple snakes that like to hide in the mud.

After the relatively weak ants pass by, the hidden abyss creatures will appear and attack the ants.

These abyss creatures that suddenly attacked, if the ant knights cooperate with each other, most of them can be solved by the ants.

But inevitably, the ants will also suffer a lot of casualties.

But System knew that as long as these carnivorous abyss creatures were cleaned up in the territory for a long time, the threat to the ants would become less and less.

...

And just when System and Black were discussing the foraging route of the ants, it stands to reason that the aura meat ball, which should be marking the territory outside, suddenly flew in front of System and expressed a very resentful mood. .

Did he meet Tyrant Slime again?

Since Meatball failed to attack the super-ranked tyrant slime, Meatball seemed to have a slime phobia, and he felt timid when he saw a slime.

It was not until the last few days that after System's continuous enlightenment, the shadow in Meatball's heart gradually disappeared, and he dared to face ordinary slimes and giant slimes of magical ranks.

However, after receiving the spiritual message from Meatball, System realized that the reason why Meatball came to him was Shadow.

Meatball's character has always been like this, he likes flying outside and hates being alone.

The shadow who always likes to make his own decisions and acts without authorization after stealth is obviously not a good teammate for Meatball, and often leaves the team silently.

There is no good way for System to do this, and it is also difficult for System to discipline Shadow, the grasshopper beast.

The best ant with Meatball should be Black, but it is difficult for Black to spare time to manage the ants.

System decided to let the worker ant knight Hook, who also had a good relationship with Meatball, go out to mark the territory together.

However, after some communication, System found that he obviously underestimated Meatball’s determination this time.

This time, Meatball insisted that System go out with him, no matter how much System persuaded and fooled, Meatball would never let go.

In the words of Meatball, System’s gibberish seemed to make sense, but he didn’t understand it at all, he just wanted System to go out and fly with him.

In desperation, System agreed to accompany Meatball to patrol every five days.

Shaking his head gently, System looked at the meat ball that had left and sighed. He had indeed stayed in the underground floating island for too long these days.

If he doesn't go out again, it will be no different from the dead house butterfly Ola.

In fact, it's good to go out and take a look every now and then.

With his tentacles, he picked up a piece of blood-red carapace left behind by the meat ball, and System put it into his mouth and tasted it.

Although Meatball's intelligence is not high, just like System gets good things and will share with the ants, Meatball will also bring some delicious food back to System.

It seemed that the meat ball brought a piece of the front breast meat of a mosquito worm this time, and after tasting it, System found that the mosquito worm brought by the meat ball should belong to the worm beast that had pupated three times.

It is a creature of great research value to System.

System sighed again, and said to himself: "I have told Meatball several times that I have to catch the beasts that meet the magical rank. Why can't I remember it?"

It seems that accompanying Meatball to patrol the territory is still necessary in some respects.

...

After discussing with Black about the ants in the territory for a while, System came to a better airtight room in the underground building of the floating island. Outside the room, there was a soldier ant knight specially sent by System to guard. .

In this room, there is a monster nest the size of a human fist, and there are more than 30 eggs next to the monster nest.

In fact, System moved this worm's nest here precisely because the worm's nest had mutated and could lay eggs.

After these days, the original Devil's Nest has been split and planted by System, forming five Devil's Nests.

And just three days ago, System suddenly discovered that one of the Demon Insect Nests had undergone a special change, and began to produce some three-centimeter-sized insect eggs.

However, System was greatly disappointed.

Although because of the power of [Growing Plants], the nest of demon insects has a certain connection with him, but the emotions produced by these insect eggs are very unfriendly to him.

For this reason, System cut off all the flesh and blood roots of this mutant worm nest, and at the same time destroyed most of the flesh and blood of this worm nest, so as to prevent it from continuing to produce insects. eggs, causing unnecessary trouble.

System only left thirty eggs for research.

And in the process of System's daily observation, one of the more than thirty eggs hatched.

Different from the hatching of the eggs of ordinary insects, after the eggs of the Devil's Nest hatch, there is no experience from the larvae to the pupa, and then from the pupa to the adult.

The adult worm hatched from this egg is exactly what a mosquito looks like, that is, a mosquito devil.

The mosquito demon's behavior pattern is the same as that of the centipede demon, spider demon, and mantis demon. After birth, before its body becomes hard, it uses its own straw to suck the eggs of the demon beside it, and begins to kill each other...
