Laws of the Insect Hive

The blood of insects is cold, which is often referred to as cold-blooded animals.

System felt that his personality had unconsciously changed after his rebirth.

Not long ago, after he realized that there was no threat, he took the plant sap collected by a few small bugs as a matter of course, and he noticed the change in his personality.

In the face of these live insect eggs with a diameter of one or two millimeters, the thoughts in System’s mind were also different from the original one—

What would these eggs taste like?

...

The full eggs are expected to hatch within a few days. System watched the lively little life in the eggs slide from time to time in the translucent mucus of the eggs. Judging from the shape, they should be the larvae of butterflies or moths.

The human soul made System feel a little disgusting, but he still bit a tender worm egg with his claws without hesitation.

The broken egg mucus exuded a faint fishy smell. System took a mouthful of the mucus and aimed his fangs at the lepidopteran larvae struggling in the mucus.

The mucus tasted like sweet milk, and the tender larvae in the eggs gave System the feeling of tasting a mellow milk ice cream.

"It might taste better if it can be chilled."

System, who devoured the eggs, had a strange idea.

This protein-rich meat product is a great help to System, far beyond the leaves of any plant that System eats.

System could feel the slight changes in his body. The exoskeletons on his feet became firmer, and the fangs in his mouth gradually became harder and sharper.

Ever since he woke up, he had been eating young leaves and leaf buds, but no matter how much he ate, System felt his stomach emptied. After eating four or five insect eggs, System felt fullness in his stomach for the first time.

The numbness of his body came again. While he was carefully guarding the surroundings and enjoying the delicious food, System's experience bar reached the level-up threshold unknowingly.

This time, the feeling of soreness and numbness in his body is much stronger than when he was at level 1 and 2. System did not find the reason in the data of [Self-Information Generation], but he knew that it must be related to the food he was eating. related to eggs.

How can the growth brought by eating only green vegetables and meat and vegetables with balanced nutrition be the same, as long as you are not a fool to think about it, you can understand.

Even if you go to the gym to exercise, you must match it with nutrient-rich beef or protein powder. Otherwise, every day, radish and greens will not be as effective as others after a year of hard training.

...

After upgrading to level 4, System's body grew from 0.7 centimeters to 1 centimeters. His body's exoskeleton became much harder, and the claws in his mouth became stronger and sharper. Mature leaves.

Compared to the growth on the surface of the body, the growth in System's blood was even greater.

[Degenerate Growth] (10/13) grows into [Degenerate Growth] (11/13), from level 10 to level 11.

A strange picture came from his blood, and System felt that the appearance of the adult grasshopper he would become in the future became more ferocious and stronger.

Not only that, System felt the inheritance information in his bloodline, as long as the [Degeneration and Growth] was raised to level 13, his body could undergo a third degeneration. After level 5 and 8, he A whole new metamorphosis is also possible.

And after completing the third metamorphosis, he can even hear the voice of the world once.

But about what the voice of the world is, System has not found any more information in his bloodline, only that it is an extremely mysterious thing.

Through this upgrade, System's talent [Insect Adaptability] (6/21) has also grown, becoming [Insect Adaptation] (8/21), which is directly increased by two levels.

System felt that the blood in his body became more active, his body seemed to become more sensitive, and he also acquired a new derivative skill [Dark Vision].

...

[Dark Vision] (2/5): A derivative skill obtained from [Insect Adaptability]. As long as it has a faint fluorescence, it can detect things around it in the dark.

...

The effect of the derivative skill [Dark Vision] can be felt to some extent by System, but the specific effect will not be determined until he actually uses it at night.

If the effect of this [Dark Vision] is not ideal, System will still give up eating at night, because there are more forest insect hunters at night, and it is not worth his risk.

After clicking on the light curtain of [Self-Information Generation] for a while, System gave up checking and continued to taste the eggs in front of him.

Because of the increase in level and the increase in size, System felt that his body was even hungrier, and at the same time, the speed at which he devoured the eggs was also significantly improved, which was twice as fast.

However, compared to the speed of feeding, the number of eggs required to upgrade to level 5 has also become more. There are 30 eggs.

But no matter what, the hundreds of worm eggs in front of him were enough for System to successfully rise to level 5 before night, and even if he swallowed all these worm eggs, it was not impossible for him to rise to level 6.

After leveling up to level 4, the barbs on System's feet were sharper, and could easily hang upside down on the back of the leaves, making it easier to eat insect eggs.

After more than an hour, System ate more than a dozen fresh and delicious insect eggs one after another, and his body shape gradually increased, from 1 cm to 1.1 cm.

As long as he continues to eat more than a dozen worm eggs, he will rise to level 5, and his physical fitness will be further improved.

But at this moment, System, who was swallowing the eggs, found an uninvited guest.

Perhaps smelling the faint smell of broken eggs, a dark red ant appeared on the trunk of the plant where System was located, and climbed to the branch where System was located. It seemed that this ant was targeting this place. Eggs on a leaf.

The dark red ants are about 0.8 centimeters in length, slightly smaller than the black ants that System first saw, but the fangs in their mouths are larger than those of the black ants, and their biting ability may be stronger than those of the black ants.

System immediately climbed from the back of the blade to the front, and faced the red ant.

After observing the ant climbing up his branch from the lower end of the plant branch, System immediately thought of the consequences of this dark red worker ant's arrival.

As long as the worker ant determines the dozens of eggs here, there will be a steady stream of ants.

In the face of the army of ants, it is obviously not a problem to escape with his strong hind legs, but these eggs will also be handed over to this group of ants in vain.

Having tried these high-protein delicious foods and experiencing the growth of these foods on his body, System would never hand over these worm proteins.

Although the ant colony is strong, a single ant System is not afraid, especially this small ant.

After the upgrade, System was bigger than this ant, and by removing the sharpness of its claws, System was stronger than this ant.

And what System wanted to do was not a desperate fight, he only needed to use his strong hind limbs to kick the red ant off the branch of the plant.

The branches of this plant were sturdy and slender, and System quickly met the dark red ant.

System controlled the barbs on the legs and climbed to the side of the branch. The dark red ant seemed to have discovered System's existence. It hesitated for a while, but when it saw that System took the initiative to move out of the way, it continued. Crawling along the branches of plants with the fishy smell in the air.

The herbivorous grasshopper larvae did not cause the ant to be too alert, and the ant ignored the System on the flanks of the branch and crawled towards the leaves where the eggs were attached...

Seeing the ants crawling over, System, who found the right angle, released his long-charged hind legs!

Between the lightning and flint, because he had never manipulated his hind limbs to kick, System's attack angle was slightly deviated from his expectations, and he only kicked the ant's forelimb.

The ant's forelimbs drove its body almost overturned, but the barbs on the remaining legs still allowed it to stay on the branches, and immediately counterattacked at System.

System continued to charge his hind limbs, ready to kick for the second time, but the dark red ant rushed over in an instant, and used its fangs to firmly bite one of his forelimbs, while the Strong formic acid is released in the teeth.

As gregarious social insects, ants attack very rough. They don't know how to attack the key points of the enemy. They will only die after biting the opponent. If it is replaced by a mantis or spider, System's head or neck will definitely be damaged attacked first.

The intense burning sensation on his forelimbs entered System's mind. Several of his legs were randomly tearing at the ants entangled with him. He endured the severe pain and used his back legs again. This time He successfully kicked the ant in the head!

Chi-

As the dark red ants fell from the branches, turbid and translucent juice splashed out from System's forelimbs, and the powerful force erupted from his hind limbs instantly pulled his forelimbs that were bitten by the dark red ants. broken……

The battle between System and the dark red ants only lasted for less than two seconds, and System's injury ended, but he also protected his eggs.

He still took the battle between insects too much for granted, thinking that this time the opponent would be the same as the little white bug last time and let him bully him.

Herbivorous insects and carnivorous insects have a big gap in their fighting instincts.

...

Enduring the burning sensation of the broken forelimbs, System climbed behind the leaves covered with insect eggs again, and began to eat at the fastest speed.

If ants are attracted again because of the fishy smell of these worm eggs, he can only choose to escape, so he must eat these worm eggs as quickly as possible.
