Law of the Swarm

Chapter 143 Demon Insect Reappearance
In System's lair, Black was holding a mushroom emitting faint fluorescence, and touching a worker ant knight with its tentacles.

If the king or queen Linda is not around, the ants will communicate in this primitive way, that is, by touching each other with their antennae.

Wang has been missing for two days.

Right in front of Black, Wang, Sawa and Orla disappeared together.

Blake didn't know where Wang went, but she firmly believed that Wang would definitely come back.

After lightly touching an ant knight with the tentacles on the top of his head and telling him not to worry, Black continued to replace some of the mushrooms on the walls with fluorescent mushrooms grown in the nest.

The mushrooms glow for about seven days, after which they fade.

Wang seems to like light very much. Even though Wang's eyes can see the surrounding things clearly in complete darkness, he will arrange some of these fluorescent mushrooms in the nest.

But recently, after Wang pupated for the third time, Black knew that the reason why Wang arranged these fluorescent mushrooms was so that the ants could see some things underground with the weak light.

In fact, Wang Ben didn't have to be like this...

……

After taking the meat ball to fly outside and wandering around, Black returned to the nest again and came to the empty room of the queen ant Linda.

The ant queen Linda was hostile to her because of some things before the king woke up, but after the king woke up and Black apologized, Linda no longer became hostile to her.

But despite this, Blake still hated Linda as always.

But hate it, hate it, in order to stabilize Linda's mood, so that Linda can breed ants normally, Black will comfort Linda every few hours.

After System disappeared a few days ago, the ant queen Linda became very restless. Even though her body was extremely bloated, she struggled to search for a long time in the empty room where Aura was.

Blake also discovered that the one who worried the most was not her, but the ant queen Linda.

It is precisely this that makes Blake even more jealous of the ant queen Linda.

"Why can't you and I switch identities?"

After comforting and telling the queen Linda that the king will return safely, Blake inadvertently sent a spiritual message to the queen Linda.

However, the ant queen Linda, who received Black's spiritual message, did not understand the meaning of Black's words at all. She asked in confusion, "Exchanging...identities? What is that?"

Slowly shook his head.

Black did not explain to Queen Linda, because she knew that even if she explained, Queen Linda might not be able to understand.

And just when Black was about to leave the queen ant's empty room, the worker ant knight's spikes moved very quickly in front of her.

The spiked appearance looked a little flustered.

As the worker ant knight spike that pupated out for the second time at the same time as the hook that controls lightning, the spike didn't discover what it possessed at first. Its speed and sensitivity are fully two or three times that of ordinary worker ant knights.

After the tentacles collided, Black quickly learned that something was happening in the lair—intruders.

During the year and a half of System's pupation, rats and slimes also appeared in the anthill by mistake, but this time it seemed to be different from before.

The intruders in the nest are of extraordinary strength and have the ability to threaten the ants.

Black made a decisive decision, moved to the room where the meat ball was, and took the meat ball to the hole to attack the enemies who tried to invade the lair.

When Black and Meatball arrived near the entrance of the cave, they happened to see the injured soldier ant knight Xiaoqiang. Due to the attack of the intruders, half of Xiaoqiang's bladed legs were torn off, and some white blood with a smell was scattered on the ground. .

A messy sound appeared ahead, and Black heard the unique movement of the excavator digging into the ground. It seemed that the excavator was fighting the invading enemy.

Soon the appearance of the intruder came into Black's sight, it was a creature that Black had never seen before.

It has insect-like fangs, a centipede-like carapace body and carapace legs, about 1.5 meters in size, and eight rat-like arms growing on its body. There are also some gray hairs on the arms. It is a kind of A strange-looking creature that Black had never encountered before.

Before Black could give an order, a meat ball with a diameter of nearly half a meter jumped over, and at the same time tentatively fired a few green paralyzing spikes...

……

Although there was no way to fight back against Shava, Meatball still killed this weird creature without any suspense.

Although the creature was not affected by the paralysis attack and poison attack of the meat ball, when it was bitten off by the huge mouth of the meat ball avatar and broke its head, it still inevitably died.

The blood of this creature was dark red. Black put the blood in his mouth and tasted it, and it tasted weird.

It smelled like the corpse of the demon that Wang brought back when he was still in Lierte Forest more than a year ago...

……

……

System, who was in the shadow temple of the demiplane, naturally couldn't know what happened to the ant people in his lair.

At this time, System was attacking the dragon skeleton with Shava full of expectations.

Although Shava's ability is strong, it is not omnipotent. After using the ability for one or two hours continuously, Shava's power will also be exhausted, and it takes a period of rest before continuing to use it.

After several hours of attack, many cracks appeared in the dragon's rib that System and Shava attacked.

It's a pity that even with these cracks, the dragon's bones did not shatter.

When Shawar's power was exhausted, System also tried to attack the shattered keel with a few weapons brought out from the treasure house.

But just as System was thinking about how to insert the blade of the dagger into the crack of the keel, and tried to pry the keel open.

Ola, who had been swimming among the gold coins, appeared next to System at some point, and showed some slightly strange emotions.

System guessed that it might be because Butterfly saw the skeleton of the dragon and thought of her predecessor, the Frost dragon, and became a little sad.

However, System soon discovered that he was thinking too much. If Ola had just emerged from the chrysalis, he might be affected by it and use it to make himself stronger.

But now Ola, who has enough treasures, can think about so many things at all, and seeing the dragon skeleton is just inexplicably sad and doesn't think about it.

The purpose of Ola's coming here at this time is to call System and Sawa back to the treasure room.

After all, Ola felt that she would be happier when someone was watching her than swimming among the gold coins alone.

……

And after realizing that System didn't pay much attention to her, Aura quickly moved near the somewhat cracked keel, and began to use her frost power.

Ola wanted to prove to System that it was really easy for her to break through this keel.

Facts have also proved that Ola does have a way of breaking the keel.

Aura repeatedly injected water vapor into the cracks in the keel, and using the power of the expansion of the frost after it solidified, squeezed the keel to make a crunching sound.

Ten minutes later, although the keel was not broken, with a loud noise, a crack nearly half a centimeter wide appeared on the dragon's rib.

And with the appearance of this crack, a wonderful and delicious fishy smell emanated from the keel - the bone marrow of the dragon.
