Laws of the Insect Hive

The body emerged from the chrysalis, and System's breathing became unimaginably comfortable.

A lot of slightly cloudy and foul-smelling gas was expelled from the pores of his body, and as the gas was expelled, System felt that his body seemed to become lighter.

Turning his head, System found that after the fourth time his body had pupated and turned into an extraordinary insect beast, his appearance seemed even more strange.

The length of the body is close to 1.5, and it looks like the grasshopper before, but there are too many tentacles on his body.

Just like the corals in the sea in System's previous life, except near the wings and his head, his tentacles bred wantonly and covered his body.

These tentacles, which are about 2 meters long and the thickness of a human thumb, surround his body and look like a mess from a distance.

"There are too many tentacles."

System's throat made a sound, and he found that after this pupation, his voice became clear and pleasant, no longer as hoarse.

But the change in voice didn’t make System’s mood any better, because these tentacles disappointed System very much.

It's not that System rejects tentacles. In fact, as long as tentacles are practical enough, System will accept tentacles in his heart even if he says he hates them.

The reason System was disappointed was because there were too many tentacles this time. The dense tentacles not only blocked his vision, but also affected his flight.

However, at the same time that System was born with this idea, an inexplicable feeling appeared along with the flow of blood in his body.

It was the [Mimicking Transformation] ability that System acquired during pupation.

As natural as raising his hands and feet, System didn't feel much effort. The dozen or so tentacles on his body quickly changed shape, and the ends of these tentacles formed eyes like dark green gems.

The eyes at the ends of these tentacles are exactly the same as the eyes on his head, and can check the surrounding situation, even to the extent that there are no dead ends.

The so-called blocking line of sight will no longer exist, not to mention that his [Eye of System] itself has a certain perspective ability, and it will not affect his line of sight at all.

And as System felt that the tentacles near his wings hindered his flight, the tentacles near his wings immediately retracted into his body.

With the opening of the carapace on his back, the wings under his carapace gradually increased by a third in a few seconds, becoming more suitable for flying.

However, as System relaxed his body, his body would return to its original state at an extremely fast speed, turning into a mess of tentacles.

Probably just like Meatball always maintains the appearance of a mass of meat, and he looks like this now.

However, it is different from the deformation ability of the meat ball.

Meatball can transform into he has devoured insects, and System can transform into he has studied insects with tentacles.

That is to say, the more thoroughly he studies, the more perfect the changes [Mimic Deformation] can make.

System jumped off the crystal throne and continued to use the ability of [Mimic Transformation], and he easily turned into a giant green-tailed grasshopper nearly two meters long.

System quickly changed back, and continued to use the ability of [Mimic Transformation]. The ends of his tentacles changed into palms and fingers like Blake's.

Although obviously not as delicate as Blake's palm, it's still decent.

In the process of continuing the experiment, System even discovered that he could also turn into an ant knight, or even a human figure standing on two legs, but his body was very bloated.

The legs of the lower body are normal, but the upper body looks like a big fat man wearing armor, and the armor is still ugly.

And if System is not careful, his armored body will burst into a pile of tentacles, looking very worried...

...

And while System was studying his physical abilities, System found a familiar figure sticking to him, and grabbing the tentacles on his body, trying to wrap it around himself.

The one who can do this is the worker ant knight Wendy who often likes to peek at him. After three years, Wendy has grown from 30 cm to the current 1.3 meters, which is more than the same worker ant knight. The Blake's 1 meter is nearly a third higher.

Wendy is also the first ant to discover that he has successfully pupated among his many ants.

However, during the process of mental communication between System and Wendy, System suddenly discovered something special.

Because the [Perception] talent has been upgraded to a supernatural ability, System's perception of the surrounding things has become stronger.

System found that where he was now, there was a big problem with the previous one. Simply put, it was too high here, and both the air pressure and gravity were somewhat different from before.

"What's the matter, isn't this place underground?"

System made a puzzled voice, then looked at the Crystal Throne behind him, and the surrounding palace halls.

Apart from the gray floor tiles that seemed to have become smoother due to the repair of the excavator, System found that nothing had changed significantly.

System immediately used the ability of [Spiritual Network] to connect with the spirits of many ants.

"Has the floating island lifted off?"

System finally discovered that the floating island at this time had already lifted off and was floating about 500 meters in the air.

Because there are already 15,000 big flying ants in the floating island, it is not difficult to help transport ordinary big ants and ant riders. Obviously, the ants' foraging has no effect.

System suddenly remembered that in the last few months when he was in a daze, Blake seemed to talk to him about the launch of the floating island.

"Wang, the floating power system and energy circulation system of the floating island have been repaired by the excavator. The floating island should be able to lift off. Can I let the floating island lift off for an experiment?"

"...Oh, you can figure it out."

"Wang, can I park the floating island at a height of 500 meters?"

"Um."

At that time, his mind was obviously confused, and he just gave Blake a perfunctory answer, and after answering, he immediately forgot what happened before, and now he actively recalls the memory of that time.

From this point of view, in the last year of his stupor, he should still have a lot of things he can't remember.

System opened the [Tools Menu] video file, but found that this year's memory video, if he wanted to watch it completely, it would take at least ten days.

Naturally, System did not want to stay for more than ten days to observe his memory immediately after pupation, and decided to first ask Wendy and Blake if there was anything important, and then take the time to re-observe the confused memories of the year.

"Wendy, in the past year or so, have you been impressed by anything?" System asked Wendy next to him. At the same time, he used the ability of the [mental network] to send a spiritual message to notify Black. Come to him.

"Shava agreed with me to ride a flying dragon with her the day before yesterday. Is this okay?" Wendy seemed to think for a while, and replied happily with her head tilted.

Seeing Wendy's happy expression, System reluctantly responded, "Okay... Okay, do you have anything else that impressed you more?"
