Law of the Swarm

Chapter 132 Expansion Plan
In the end, System did not find any living animals, but found a dead animal, a zombie rabbit.

Zombie rabbits still maintain the action state before they were alive, jumping and moving.

But its body is too stiff, and it can't maintain its previous action mode at all. Basically, it will fall from the ground every time it jumps, and then spend more than ten seconds struggling to get up from the fallen state.

This zombie rabbit is clearly a failed undead creature.

System also felt the germs infected by [Plague Slime] on this rabbit.

This time, System did not ask Shava to help, and directly used [Plague Mucus] to assimilate the carrion on the rabbit.

With the recovery of [Plague Mucus], the flesh and blood on the zombie rabbit began to fall off little by little. In just a few minutes, the zombie rabbit turned into a skeleton rabbit. The rotten flesh on the skin fell off one after another, and its internal organs were also scattered. land.

Afterwards, the skeleton rabbit jumped a few more times, and as the blackened brains flowed out of the rabbit's brain, the blue flame in the skull rabbit's brain also went out.

The skeleton rabbit also lost its movement because of this.

"It seems that just removing the flesh and blood of the zombies, the zombies still can't turn into skeletons."

System continued to test other zombies, and he quickly selected a zombie wild wolf and a zombie ratman nearby.

The ending was the same as that of the skeleton rabbit. After System assimilated the plague bacteria on the zombies and recovered the [plague slime], the rotten flesh on the two zombies began to fall off quickly.

It didn't take long for the blue flames in the heads of the two zombies to become skeletons to go out, and the two skeletons also collapsed on the ground and completely lost their movement.

……

After experimenting with these zombies, System's health was restored to full value, the hunger in his stomach completely disappeared, and he also gained nearly 10% experience.

In some respects, as long as there are enough zombies, System can improve his level and strength very quickly.

It's a pity that zombies don't have the ability to reproduce at all. In the Warren Plain that has been infected like this, there will only be fewer and fewer zombies.

It is obviously unrealistic for System to raise the level by recovering the plague from the zombies.

And compared to the level increase, what System values ​​more is the improvement of his life level, which is the fourth pupation.

He must be fully prepared for the fourth pupation.

The level is raised to level 60, and the [Pupation] talent level reaches level 21, which is the condition for System to pupate next time.

The improvement of the level will become slower and slower in the later stage, but it is only a matter of time before reaching level 60, but it is obviously difficult to continue to improve the talent level of [chrysalis].

Currently, System's [Pupation] talent upper limit is level 19, and the upper limit of [Pupation] talent can no longer be increased by devouring slime jelly.

Therefore, System must find another thing that can increase the upper limit of his [chrysalis] talent, otherwise it is impossible to continue to improve the level of life.

However, System, who was thinking, quickly figured it out and calmed down his impatience.

Whether it is the removal of [Severing Spell] or the increase of the upper limit of [Pupation] talent, it is obviously not something that can be changed in a short time in a hurry.

Even because of the reduction of the [Curse of Severance], he still has a lifespan of more than 70 years, so there is no need to be so anxious.

……

After observing the sky again and finding nothing, System decided to return to the lair.

On the way back, System accidentally found a black scorpion nearly [-] centimeters in a pile of rocks.

The scorpion, which was supposed to be dormant in winter, drilled around in the crevices of the rocks. Obviously, the near-zero weather did not affect it.

System caught the scorpion casually, decided to take it back to the lair, and eat it as a snack at night.

But in the process of removing the scorpion's tail needle and several limbs, System discovered some unusual places.

He felt the angry and painful emotions generated by the scorpion.

It seems that after the third pupation, the ability of [Mind Teleportation] has increased, making the types of creatures that System can feel emotions more.

System estimates that he can already feel the emotions of arthropods. Creatures like centipedes, scorpions, spiders, and crabs can all send out spiritual messages and communicate.

However, being able to communicate with scorpions or spiders would not bring any obvious benefits to System.

System thought for a while and quickly killed the unlucky scorpion. Originally, System planned to keep the fresh scorpion as a supper at night, but the scorpion emitting painful emotions was too painful. Noisy...

……

……

After returning to the nest, System immediately gave instructions to the ant queen Linda to start laying eggs and appropriately expand the size of the ants.

After the second pupation, the egg-laying ability of the queen ant Linda improved a lot, and she released more than a dozen three-centimeter-sized ant eggs in just a few minutes.

According to Linda's spiritual information, as long as there is enough food, she can produce nearly a hundred ant eggs of this size every day; and if it is just ordinary ant eggs, she can produce thousands of ant eggs in a day.

These ant eggs are several times larger than the ant eggs discharged before the queen's second pupation.

You must know that at that time, the Queen Ant adhered to System's philosophy to produce high-quality products as much as possible, so she only produced two to three ant eggs in a day.

However, after System [perceived] with his tentacles, he found that these ant eggs did not exceed the category of ordinary ants, they still belonged to ordinary ants, and had no special power.

It may be related to the ability obtained by the queen ant's second pupation. The level of these ant eggs was already level 5 when they were just born, and the blood talent in the body was better.

After these ant eggs with an initial level of level 5 hatch, they will eat and grow for a period of time, and their level will be higher when they pupate into adults.

System speculates that each worker ant larva can reach about 5 centimeters after becoming a worker ant adult, and as long as it grows a little bit, it can reach the threshold of second pupation level 11 without any accidents.

As long as the [Pupation] talent is high enough, these ants will naturally undergo secondary pupation, becoming a worker ant knight of about [-] centimeters, or a large worker ant like an excavator.

After a simple calculation, System found that as long as eating as much food as possible can improve the [Pupation] talent gelatin, half of these ants will naturally enter the second pupation.

With his help, the proportion of ants entering the secondary pupation will increase.

But in this way, these newborn ants will undoubtedly cause unimaginable consumption to the slime. It is estimated that cultivating a thousand worker ants at the same time is the limit.

If there are more ants, the regeneration rate of the slime's gelatin will not be enough, making it difficult for redundant worker ants to pupate again.

And now it's winter when food is relatively scarce. Even if you don't feed ants with slime, it is difficult to breed too many ants with other foods.

System looked at the ant queen Linda who was in a daze, and finally decided to start at the root of the matter - if you want to improve the [chrysalis] talent of the ant people, you don't have to let the ant people eat Enough slime can also directly strengthen the queen's ability.
