Law of the Swarm

Chapter 150 The Death Knight and the Worm's Lair
In the past 20 days, System not only discovered many centipede demons, but also discovered a new type of demon, but there was only one.

This kind of demon was named Spider Demon by System.

The spider demon that System encountered was about 1.3 meters after stretching its legs, and its body was pure black.

Just like centipede demons behave like centipedes, this spider demon behaves like spiders.

In the process of attacking zombies, it will release silk threads from its tail to bind the zombies like a spider, and then eat.

However, unlike ordinary spiders, spider demons will not inject digestive enzymes into food like ordinary spiders, turning the food into juice and eating it in the mouth.

The fangs in its mouth are very sharp, it can easily bite the flesh and blood of zombies, and then swallow them.

System asked Shava to do the same, cutting off all eight limbs of the spider demon, wanting to observe the difference between the little bug demon formed by the spider demon and the little bug demon formed by the centipede demon.

It's a pity that the spider demon seemed to be much weaker than the centipede demon. Ten minutes after its limbs were cut off, it didn't turn into a mass of sarcoma, but died during the process of excessive blood loss.

……

Compared with the harvest of going out to explore, the growth of the ant population in the nest is also very rapid in 20 days.

The [-] ant eggs that Queen Linda planned to produce had all hatched from insect eggs, and more than half of them had turned into adult ants.

And most of the adult ants are under the dual effects of the slime jelly that can improve the [chrysalis] talent and the dragon bone marrow diluted by System.

In the last ten days, nearly [-] worker ants and more than a dozen soldier ants have entered the second pupation, and the number of ants that have entered the second pupation is still rising.

Considering the food consumption of the secondary pupation ant knight and the amount of food stored in the nest, System did not allow Queen Linda to continue laying eggs, and decided to maintain the size of the existing nest.

Not only the newly produced ants by queen Linda, but also the consumption of giant dragon bone marrow by System these days has also made his body grow further.

Today, his level has been raised to level 23, his body is 80 centimeters, his tentacles are close to 1.2 meters, and his combat power has further increased to 107.

Perhaps because of taking the dragon bone marrow many times, when the level was raised to level 23, System obtained a new derived ability [Dragonscale Spike] (13/21).

This ability is a derivative ability obtained based on the talent [Body Transformation], replacing the original [Carapace Spike] ability. With this reddish-brown sharp spike, System's tentacles can already pierce some solid objects. Among the rocks, it is much sharper than System's [Ice Spike] in [Frost Form].

As for the other ant subjects, System was not stingy either. More than a dozen ant knights who had been pupated for the second time were raised to the full level of 14 with the massive experience provided by the dragon bone marrow.

As long as the [Pupation] of these ant knights reaches level 17, they can immediately perform the third pupation.

However, including Shava, the aptitude of these ant knights is a bit weaker. The upper limit of the [Pupation] talent in the blood has not reached level 17, and even System's [Ability Enhancement] can't do anything.

I can only hope that these ant people can break through the upper limit of [chrysalis] talent in the process of eating slime.

And the only existence that System was stingy with the dragon bone marrow was his son Meatball.

System was really reluctant, after all, the amount of bone marrow of the dragon was limited, and the appetite of meat balls was really too big.

Normally, an ordinary ant knight would be unconscious as if he was drunk as long as he drank one-tenth of a bottle.

Meatball was completely different. After drinking two bottles of dragon bone marrow, there was no adverse reaction, and like a puppy, it stuck to System, wanting to ask for a few more bottles.

System could only seriously refuse this.

Fortunately, Meatball was still quite obedient, feeling System's slightly serious spiritual message, he lost his mind and gnawed on the centipede demon he had caught before.

After eating the centipede devil's meat ball for a while, as before, I quickly forgot the previous unhappiness and became happy again.

……

……

And during this day's routine patrol, System once again made a new discovery.

It wasn't that he found the spider demon again, but that System saw a knight riding a blue fire skeleton horse and wearing a black metal armor.

If System guessed correctly, this creature should be a death knight.

Because the death knight wore a mask that completely closed his head, System couldn't tell the knight's original race, but his height was about 1.9 meters, at least his race was not ratman.

System's [intuition] sensed some danger from the opponent, and System knew that if he fought with the opponent, he was not an opponent at all, and there was a high chance that he would be killed by the opponent.

However, System, who was observing from the sky, found that the death knight didn't notice his gaze at all, and didn't notice his gaze.

The death knight seemed to be looking for something, and sometimes he controlled his blue fire horse to stop, and sometimes jumped off the horse and squatted down, stroked the soil on the ground a few times, and then rode on the horse again.

Not long after, the death knight encountered a centipede demon with a head of about one meter.

Pulling down the white long sword pinned to his waist, the centipede demon was cleanly beheaded by the death knight.

In terms of the coherence of movements, System felt that this death knight was more beautiful than Shava, but Shava's sword was obviously faster.

I don't know how many levels of strength the death knight used swordsmanship just now.

Shaking his head lightly, System didn't think too much about it.

Even if Shava was stronger than this death knight, System would not let Shava fight the death knight.

Leaving aside the inexplicable provoking of Druids because he ate the golden acorn, before he just caught and ate a few ratmen, he inexplicably attracted some troubles, which made him cautious for a while. He was on guard against anything the Skaven might threaten him.

Today's death knight is obviously intelligent, so System will naturally not seek trouble with him.

Of course, if it is confirmed that there will be no trouble in dealing with the death knight, System may choose to do it then.

He wasn't very interested in the death knight, but he wanted to taste the difference in the taste of the skeleton warhorse emitting blue flames.

……

Observing from above obliquely two kilometers away from the death knight, System has been tracking the death knight for several hours.

And just when System decided to give up and return to the lair, System saw the death knight stop again.

I saw the skeleton warhorse that the death knight was riding suddenly jumped high, and with a violent crash, the ground where the death knight was sitting collapsed...

There seemed to be a lot of space under the flat ground. System found reddish-brown flesh like tree roots in the scattered soil, and found several centipede demons rushing towards the death knight at the moment of death's fall. ...
