Law of the Swarm

Chapter 152 Cultivating the Devil's Nest
This survival emotion is like that of a plant, and it is also somewhat similar to that of a mushroom, or System's old friend Slime.

System quickly discovered a fist-sized piece of meat that was shaking slightly among the scattered pieces of meat, and at the same time, he felt more clearly the faint emotion in the piece of meat that was like life was coming to an end.

System used his tentacles to [perceive] for a while, and after noticing anything unusual, he tore some flesh from the meat and put it in his mouth to taste.

The taste of the piece of meat is still the sweet and spicy taste of the abyssal creature, and at the same time it has the smell of some undead creatures, but compared to other dead pieces of meat, the undead breath attached to this piece of meat is very weak.

And System found that although this piece of flesh was filled with the chaotic atmosphere from the abyss, the emotion of the piece of meat itself was very simple.

Like ordinary plants, there are only two emotions of survival and growth.

System suddenly thought of something, a faint green light appeared from his tentacles, it was the Druid's [Healing Power].

With the appearance of this green light, the gradually trembling lumps of flesh on System's tentacles began to quiet down, and no longer wailed like before.

Because of the life force of [Healing Power], the undead breath inside the piece of meat was continuously eliminated, and the piece of meat also returned to calm, becoming like a plant seed. Only when System rapped vigorously with his tentacles, would it come back again. Send out some subtle emotions.

Reminiscent of plant seeds, System's tentacles showed a darker green light again. This time, System did not use [Healing Power] again, but began to use another ability [Stimulate Plants].

The power of [Growing Plants] seems to be more significant than the power of [Healing Power]. System noticed that the piece of flesh grasped by the tentacles was wriggling rapidly, and it didn't take long for the mass of flesh and blood to grow like sprouts. Some flesh and blood roots.

Thanks to System's several tentative moves, this piece of meat that should have died survived again.

Not only that, after causing this lump of meat to grow bloody roots, it seems that because of the power of [promoting plants], System had an inexplicable connection with this lump of flesh.

For example, pulling out some fleshy roots on the piece of meat, as long as the distance is not too far, System will sense all of this.

System is still unable to fully understand why this connection occurred, but if System's deduction is correct, it should be the druid's power that played a role.

And it was precisely because of this special connection that System had conflicting ideas about how to deal with this lump of meat.

Normally speaking, bringing this nest of devil insects back to the nest for cultivation is tantamount to cultivating a bomb that could detonate at any time.

Leaving aside the centipede demon produced by the Nest of Demonic Worms, if the Nest of Demonic Worms cultivated attracts the Death Knight again, it is definitely not the result that System wants to see.

So System's original plan was to throw away this piece of meat, or kill it and eat it.

But when System discovered that the use of [Stimulating Plants] had a wonderful connection with the Worm's Nest, System had other ideas.

If he continues to use [Growing Plant] and has a deeper connection with the Nest of Demonic Worms, can the demonic centipede produced by the Nest of Demonic Worms be driven by him?

Once this thought appeared, it lingered in System's mind.

……

Bringing the piece of meat back to the lair is likely to cause unpredictable disasters, but if he doesn't bring the piece of meat back, System is very reluctant.

While System was struggling, System suddenly thought of something, and immediately understood.

Why is he so troubled?
There was absolutely no need for him to bring this piece of meat back to the lair.

Today's excavators only need a few ten minutes to dig a 10-meter-deep underground passage. He can completely build an experimental base a few kilometers away from the original nest, specializing in the study of the devil's nest.

With his flying speed, it only takes a few minutes to fly within a few kilometers, and there will be no delay at all.

In this way, even if this devil's lair was destroyed by the death knight, it would not have any impact on System's lair.

……

……

System's plan was successfully implemented. At a position five kilometers away from the lair, with the help of an excavator, System successfully built an experimental base [-] meters deep, and in this base he was able to fight against the demons. Insect nests are cultivated.

System found that the cultivation of the Devil's Nest was very simple, and there was no need to prepare food for these fleshy roots.

In addition to not needing to absorb sunlight, the devil's nest is like a plant, which can plunder nutrients from the soil to grow.

After only leaving it for a day, System did not use the ability to [Stimulate Plants], and the plant covered with fleshy roots grew by one-third.

The fleshy roots on the piece of meat spread around like the branches of a plant, growing about ten centimeters in a day.

And through the growth method of the devil's nest, System also learned why there is such a huge hole in the underground where the devil's nest is located.

It is precisely because of the absorption of soil by the nest of demonic insects that there is a huge hole in the ground.

However, after cultivating this kind of devil's nest for several days in a row, as System's understanding of the devil's nest deepened, System found that the devil's nest he cultivated was missing an important thing.

It has been seven days since System used [Catalyzed Growth] to cultivate the Devil's Nest. The Devil's Nest has also grown rapidly, with a diameter of nearly half a meter. The outer fleshy roots have grown to a length of about seven meters. The fleshy roots The trunk of the beard has also become as thick as a baby's arm.

But System discovered that the nest of monster insects he cultivated did not have the ability to lay eggs. No matter how big it grew, it would only grow from one nest of monster insects to more nests of monster insects like potatoes. .

The Devil's Nest seems to lack something special to activate it, otherwise it will never be able to lay eggs, and can only grow aimlessly by devouring the underground soil like a weird plant or mushroom.

Because of this, System suspended the research on the devil's nest, and at the same time, in order to prevent the rapid breeding of the devil's nest he cultivated in a short period of time, System would make the devil's nest Clean up part of the flesh and blood roots to prevent the expansion of the devil's nest.

……

And on such a day, System's [intuition] once again showed an inexplicable feeling, and at the same time, System's tentacles also smelled a familiar yet strange smell.

Shadow, who went to the abyss, is back...
