Law of the Swarm

Chapter 156 Migration

The broken puppet is like a humanoid soldier in armor. Although it is now rusty and has lost its head, half of an arm and a whole leg, it is not difficult to see its once mighty appearance.

It seems that it has been buried for too long. Most of the metal on the puppet has decayed. As long as System's tentacles touch it with a little force, the puppet's limbs will shatter, and some translucent scattered particles will fall out of it. crushed particles.

I don't know what material this granule is made of, but System can taste it. To him, this kind of scattered granule is like salt, and the experience it provides is not bad.

It's a pity that these particles are too scattered, and System can't collect and carry them at all.

The episode of finding the puppet passed quickly. System and Ying continued to move through the gaps in the ruins. After changing direction several times, they walked for about two kilometers and finally found the portal that Ying said.

In fact, it is said to be a portal, but in fact, the portal is not in the shape of a door, but more like a round stone manhole cover, with complicated and unknown patterns carved on it, with a diameter of about two meters.

According to Ying, whether it is the 26th floor of the abyss or the location of the unknown layer of the abyss, there are exactly the same portals.

As long as you wait two months, stand on the portal and use power to activate, you can teleport.

The power that the portal needs to be activated is very special, and none of the powers in System's body can be activated.

Only Shadow can exert a special power on this teleporter, causing the portal to emit a faint blue light.

It is estimated that this is also the case, this portal has been separated for so long, and no one has discovered it and put it away.

After Ying's induction this time, the portal has been charged by nearly one-third, and there are still about forty days before it can be teleported again.

System tried to move the stone disc with his tentacles, and found that the stone was extremely heavy, and it was almost impossible to bring the disc back to the lair.

The diameter of the two-meter stone disc is not very large. With this two-meter-diameter portal, it is obviously difficult to teleport all his ant people away.

But System thought of a solution yesterday, and that was to use the black gemstone ring to connect to the Shadow Key of the Shadow Temple.

The black gemstone ring can be activated once every half a month, and there are two ways to activate it.

One is that the user of the ring is sent to the demiplane along with the ring; the other is that the user of the ring uses the power of the ring to send other things to the demiplane.

What System wants is the second method of using the ring, using the half-plane Shadow Temple as a transfer station, which can not only solve the problem that the portal cannot transfer too many ants, but also greatly shorten the migration time. As long as a small number of members go forward together with the ring on it.

Last night, System had already planned the migration of six members.

Aura who had to stay outside to activate the ring, the strongest Sawa and the meat ball, the excavator responsible for the excavation work, and him and Ying responsible for opening the portal.

And just after System made these decisions, the blood in his body trembled inexplicably, and then calmed down.

The uneasiness that had appeared more than ten days ago disappeared. It seems that because of his migration, the upcoming disaster in the Warren Plain is unlikely to affect him.

The feeling from [intuition] also made System more determined to leave here.

……

System discovered that there was nothing abnormal in the ruins and quickly decided to return, but on the way back, System found a death knight again, and it was a death knight fighting an insect demon.

Because the fires that appeared at night were very conspicuous, it was easy for System to spot the battle more than ten kilometers away.

The death knight that System saw this time was obviously much weaker than the one he met last time, and the skeleton warhorse he summoned was not the kind of blue flames, it was just an ordinary skeleton warhorse.

On the other hand, the death knight's opponent, the worm, was nearly three meters tall. In addition to spouting flames from its mouth, the worm's hands would also spray some sticky and tough silk threads. Obviously, this worm was formed by the transformation of a spider demon.

It was this silk thread that made the death knight's attack more and more sluggish, gradually falling into a disadvantageous situation.

Not long after, as the number of threads increased and the death knight's movement became more inconvenient, the giant worm gave up the long-range attack and rushed up. The worm's strong physique made the worm tear off the death knight's two arms instantly. And flung the two arms aside.

After that, the worm demon began to use its sharp claws to torture the death knight who could not move.

Finding that System was watching the battle between the demon and the death knight with great interest, Ying conveyed a spiritual message: "Most demons are like this. They can kill each other immediately, but they have to torture them meaninglessly."

"Maybe they will be very happy when they are tortured."

System replied, and then flew to the side. Just now, the worms threw away the arms of the death knights, and one of them was nearby.

It has to be said that the giant worm demon is very powerful, and it threw the death knight's arm nearly two kilometers away.

System, who flew down, quickly peeled off the black armor on his arm, revealing his hairy arm.

Judging from the appearance of this arm, it should be the arm of a jackal.

"Could it be that the undead spellcaster transformed the gnoll warriors into death knights? Or are these death knights themselves gnolls?"

System murmured, feeling more and more confused about what happened in Warren Plain.

System quickly shook his head. He had already decided to leave Warren Plain, a place of right and wrong, so it was meaningless to think about these things.

Continue to look at the arm of the death knight. Unlike the arm of the gnoll zombie, the flesh and blood on the death knight's arm is tighter, and it also has the elasticity of ordinary flesh and blood.

Using the tentacles on the top of his head to sniff the death knight's arm, System wanted to throw the arm away, but he still put the arm in his mouth and took a bite.

As System expected, after biting a small piece of flesh on his arm, System resolutely vomited it out. The flesh of the death knight was as foul-smelling as a blue-fired skeleton warhorse, and System couldn't help it. Bear.

In addition to the meat quality of the death knight, System also obtained another harvest, which was a black ring on the finger of the death knight.

If System's expectations were correct, this black ring should also be a magic item.

However, System thought about the ring for a while before throwing it out. The golden acorn had attracted the druid before, and this ring might attract something.

System really didn't want to cause any trouble before leaving.

……

Leaving the place where the worms and death knights fought, System and Shadow did not experience any abnormalities as they continued to fly to the lair.

After a day and a half, System and Ying successfully explored the portal in the ruins and returned.

The rest is to collect food, and then wait quietly during these forty days.

But before leaving, System still had one important matter to settle.

That was Ola the butterfly. Although Ola the butterfly controlled the Key of Shadow, it was difficult to determine whether Ola would help System, after all, this butterfly was too lazy.

System must find a way to persuade Aura, and if the persuasion fails, System has no choice but to take advantage of Aura's weakness in character, dig a few holes for Aola to jump into, and then achieve his goal...
