Law of the Swarm

Chapter 147 Hostile Species

"It turned out to be like this. Use the blood of the bug to grow rapidly to absorb nutrients, and then wait until the bug grows to a certain stage or encounters a crisis, and then transforms from the bug into a demon."

System put the torn little devil's arm into his mouth and chewed it. The taste of this leg was a bit hotter than the centipede's before, but the other sweet scents were similar.

System couldn't tell whether it tasted better or tasted a little worse, but his experience bar increased more than when he ate the centipede's legs before.

……

And after tearing off the arm from the little devil, System was able to confirm that when the big centipede transformed into the little devil, System could no longer feel the other's emotions.

Although the little devil wailed in pain, System did not feel any emotional fluctuations from the little devil's body.

It seems that after this transformation of the big centipede, the main body of this little devil has been dominated by the blood of the devil.

However, this little devil born from the flesh and blood of a giant centipede was still quite different from the little devil that System had seen in Lierte Forest before.

Among them, the head, neck, chest and abdomen are not much different from ordinary little devils, all of which are reddish-brown bodies, but this kind of little devil does not have magic horns on its head, but two insect antennae.

The biggest change is that the limbs of this little devil have become insect legs with reddish-brown carapace attached.

And System discovered that, unlike ordinary little devils, the blood of this kind of little devil was as cold as that of insects, not warm.

"After changing from a centipede to a little worm, the strength actually dropped. I don't know if all the little worms are like this."

Throwing the half-eaten little devil's arm to Sawa who was aside, System looked at the information displayed by [Probe Analysis], and made a hoarse sound from his throat.

Regardless of the little devil's painful wails, System continued to wrap his tentacles around the little devil and perform [perception].

System discovered that this little worm was the same as the big centipede, also genderless, and still wouldn't react to System's aphrodisiac tentacles.

And System read a lot of things from the expression on the little devil's face.

There is resentment and anger, but more timidity and fear.

In the wailing, the little devil made a gurgling sound, which seemed to be cursing, and also seemed to be begging System for mercy.

Obviously, after this little devil was born, he naturally mastered a foreign language.

But apart from possessing wisdom, the little worm is much weaker than the previous big centipede, no matter it is the strength of the little worm or the courage of the little worm.

……

However, what System thought of when he heard the curse from the little bug demon was very abnormal.

It has been more than two years since he came to this world, and System has gradually accepted his way of thinking as a bug, and he wouldn't be surprised under normal circumstances.

But this time, System was still a little surprised.

Because when he heard the curse of the little devil, what he thought of was nothing else, but that the voice of the little devil was very pleasant, and the voice in his throat was too hoarse.

Yes.

System wants something weird. He wants to remove the vocal cords at the little devil's throat to have a look, compare them with his own vocal cords, and try to adjust the vocal cords with the ability of [Body Deformation] to make his own voice Make it sound better.

System looked at the little devil's throat that kept making noises, and quickly stretched out a dozen tentacles with [carapace spikes] to poke at the little devil's throat.

The little devil's eyes gradually changed from panic to viciousness and resentment before he died, and finally died.

But it's a pity, because of the little devil's struggles and movements before he died, System's [Carapace Spike] jabbed a little bit, piercing the vocal cords in the little devil's throat, and tearing the little devil with his tentacles. In the process of throat, the little devil's vocal cords were further damaged...

……

"It's a pity, I knew that I should kill it first, and then take it back and dissect it slowly with a dagger..."

System threw the little devil's body to the ground casually, then flew into the sky again, and reconnaissance in all directions.

Although breaking the vocal cords made System feel a little unhappy.

But System knew that what he had to do now was not these trivial matters, but how the centipede demon appeared.

When he saw the centipede demon eating the flesh and blood of the zombies, System had already determined that the reason for the appearance of the centipede demon should be the method launched by the abyss lord Orgen to deal with the undead creatures in the Warren Plain.

But how these centipede demons appeared, System still had no clue.

These non-reproductive centipede demons appeared one after another within half a month, which was obviously very abnormal and could not have been teleported from the abyss.

System speculated that this kind of centipede demon should have adopted some special means of reproduction, and there should be more centipede demons and worm demons born from centipede demons.

as predicted.

System, who was flying in the sky, quickly spotted the target again one kilometer away, and this time, System also spotted two centipede demons not far away.

These two big centipedes were much smaller than the ones System had encountered before, one was about 50 centimeters and the other was 60 centimeters.

When System saw it for the first time, the two giant centipedes seemed to be biting and devouring some plants on the grassland that hadn't completely withered.

However, as the two centipede demons gradually moved towards each other, the two big centipedes seemed to have discovered each other at the same time, and rushed towards each other quickly.

Soon the two centipede demons entangled and bit each other, dark red blood splashed everywhere.

System also flew down in good time.

System originally thought that the two centipede demons might let go of the hatred in their hearts when they saw System, and attacked him with the same hatred.

But in fact this is not the case. Even though System and Shava came within two meters of the two centipedes, the two centipedes turned a blind eye to System and were still fighting each other, wanting to kill each other a joy.

Compared with System and Shava, these two centipedes seem to prefer to kill their own kind.

After watching this, System finally understood why he had to transform the powerful centipede into a demon.

This kind of attack method and growth speed that does not distinguish between the enemy and the enemy may give birth to powerful individuals, but it is not conducive to the prosperity of the group, so this kind of giant centipede was transformed into this by the swarm druid.

Of course, this is just System's speculation, and it may not be completely correct.

But regardless of whether System's speculation is correct or not, this new species that appeared in the Warren Plain will definitely pose a considerable threat to his ant people.

They will not only actively invade System's nest, but also plunder the food that should belong to the ants, restricting the development of System's ant people.

……

Seeing the two centipedes not far away, System didn't act immediately.

He just quietly watched the fight between the two centipedes. Not long after, the larger centipede successfully killed the smaller centipede.

And the big centipede that killed the same kind finally found System and Shava next to it, and quickly rushed out in the direction of System.

It seems that this kind of centipede demon prefers to attack the living life rather than the dead.

Half a meter away from System, the centipede that was trying to threaten him was split in two by Shava from head to tail...

And System only discovered it suddenly when the centipede died.

Just now, I should transform this centipede demon into a small bug demon, and then take out the intact vocal cords and kill it...
