Laws of the Insect Hive

On the twenty-sixth floor of the endless abyss, there is a purple-black swamp that stretches for thousands of kilometers. In addition to the green bubbles that pop up from time to time, there are often some purple poisonous slimes jumping and rolling in the swamp.

Every few days, these purple slimes are attracted by the strange aura, go to the vicinity of a huge sarcoid in the swamp, and take the initiative to plunge into the gap in the wall of the huge sarcoid, and be digested and absorbed by the sarcoid.

This sarcoid is not a simple life, but a special structure created by the swarm druids hundreds of years ago.

In a room in the Sarcoma building, the demigod Druid Festantatin is still studying the insects and beasts he has been studying for decades.

Since the insect swarm druid family joined the abyss and became the subordinate of the abyss lord Organ, the insect swarm druids gave up their jobs and became an existence similar to an alchemist.

By transforming the complex and changeable bloodline of insects, they successfully combined with the blood of demons, developed a magic nest, and cultivated a large number of new insect demons.

However, it has been abandoned by the swarm druids for hundreds of years, and was restarted by more than a dozen swarm druids a hundred years ago.

Fistantine is the youngest and most potential half-druid among them, and he is very handy in transforming the life of insects and beasts.

Compared with ordinary life, although insects are weak, it is easier to reach the limit of the species itself. As long as the blood of magical creatures or extraordinary creatures is not mixed into the pure body of insects, these insects can listen to the voice of the world and obtain the gift from the world. strength.

Although insects are weak, they are nearly a thousand times more likely to hear the sound of the world than other races.

After several decades of careful research, Festantine's methods of cultivating worms have become more and more mature.

Now, as long as he transforms more than a thousand insects, he can make one of the insects with pure insect bloodline reach the limit of insects, perform additional [pupation] and [molting] to become an insect beast, and listen to the voice of the world, get the world the power given.

Over the past few decades, Fistantine has spent billions of ordinary worms, and has successfully cultivated thousands of pure worms.

These insect beasts have various abilities, but because they have not been transformed with the bloodlines of extraordinary beings, these pure insect beasts are still weak, and Festante continued to study and transform these insect beasts.

He discovered that these worms with pure worm blood had extraordinary potential...

Twenty years ago, after the Shadow Worm brought back two worm beasts from the main world for the first time, Festantine had a new conjecture that the worm beast could hear the voice of the world.

The power bestowed by the world from the two insect beasts brought by the shadow from the main world is more peculiar than the insect beast he transformed.

In the next few years, the same is true for the insect beasts that Ying brought from the main world one after another. These insect beasts have more peculiar abilities than the insect beasts he transformed, and the strength of their abilities is also more different.

Festandine felt that if he continued to study like this, he might even be able to figure out the laws of the world's voices empowering them.

That was something that the goddess of nature they believed in didn't teach them...

However, half a year ago, the shadow worm, one of the most successful Festante researches, suddenly disappeared and was out of his control.

In desperation, Fistantine had no choice but to use the Demon Insect No. 17, which was integrated into the demon bloodline and signed a [Demon Blood Contract] with him.

Even if he didn't merge into the pure blood of the devil, No. 17 was his strongest worm. After merging into the devil's blood, his strength was further improved. I believe it should not be a problem to go to the main world to catch the worm, and it would be difficult to die in danger.

Festantatin recalled the scene of the birth of No. 17 before. Tens of thousands of insects were killed and devoured by him using secret techniques. No. 17 was the only insect that survived in that experiment.

...

The building with the huge sarcoid has a unique meat ball and emits a faint red shimmer. Fistantine once again flipped through the documents left by the druids of the insect swarm through the shimmer.

From a long time ago, when the swarm druids lived in the Overworld, they cultivated worm beasts by giving them the blood of supernatural beings.

The blood of insects has potential and is changeable, and it is easy to merge with the blood of extraordinary creatures, and it is even possible to give birth to insects and beasts that are more powerful than the original extraordinary creatures.

However, all insects and beasts born in this way will lose their ability to reproduce, and their lifespan will not be too long, only a few years short, and only a few decades long.

Most of the records in the literature are the method by which ordinary insects fuse the blood of extraordinary life.

Or some conjectures on how to restore the fertility of the extraordinary insect beast and prolong the life of the insect beast.

There are also conflicts between the swarm druids and the nature druids in some records. After all, the swarm druids who use the power of natural perception to transform life obviously violate the teachings of the druids.

The insect swarm Druid finally betrayed the Druid family and went to the abyss for this reason.

Putting aside the material describing the history of the druids of the swarm, Festantatin continued to look at the material on how to prolong the life of the swarm.

Stones from other hills, can learn.

Festantine had read these documents roughly before, and recently he was going to read them carefully. Maybe he could find some clues about the voices of the world.

...

Festandine, who was flipping through the books and documents, heard footsteps in the distance. He put down the books and came to his teacher Nandez to bow and salute.

Despite the general chaos and disorder of the creatures of the abyss, the druids of the swarm who take refuge in the pit lord Organ still follow their code.

As to whether they were as evil as the overworld nature druids described, they themselves did not know.

"Festantine, show me the details of the insect beast No. 839 and No. 952 that you studied." Nandez came to his disciple, flipped through a book on the table, and then lay down.

"Yes, teacher."

Festantine came to the side of the dense bookshelf, looking for the information on insects and beasts that he had recorded.

Nanders is the swarm druid most admired by Fistanteine.

Nandez was the initiator who stopped researching demon worm nests and worm demons a hundred years ago and began to study pure worm beasts.

Fistantine also followed his teacher at that time and came here after breaking away from the city built by the swarm druids.

But since 70 years ago, Festandine has noticed that his teacher's temperament has undergone inexplicable changes, but it is unclear exactly where the changes have occurred.

Since then, Festandine has unconsciously developed a sense of distance from his teacher.

Looking at Nandes, the teacher who was gradually moving away, Festantine continued to read the documents in the room, and he suddenly had a new inspiration.

Most of the rooms in the huge sarcoma are bred with various insects, and as usual, Festantine walked twice in the passage of the insect chamber.

He finally selected and collected tens of thousands of bees to start another experiment.
