Law of the Swarm

Chapter 190 Speculation on the Sound of the World
"Did anything happen in the past one and a half months? That lizard man should have come again."

After leaving Aura's treasure room, System asked Black who was following him.

"Yes, the lizard man was injured on the way here. Because you were not here, he rested here for two days before leaving." Because his body was less than twenty centimeters, Black followed System's The pace was fast, she stretched out her arm and touched the giant pupa that Shava had turned into and continued: "I am afraid that there will be accidents after the lizardman leaves, so I asked the meat ball to protect the lizardman back."

System nodded: "It's true that I didn't consider it properly at the beginning. The few kilometers from the lizard people's tribe to here is indeed dangerous for the lizard people."

"After the meat ball sent the lizard away, it brought back a few things, which are the relics of the snail."

Black continued to pass on spiritual messages, and led System to a utility room not far from the underground floating island palace, where the meat ball brought back from the lizardman tribe.

There are two things, a silver key pendant, and a blue crystal ball with a diameter of [-] centimeters.

Neither Ying nor Black found anything special about these two items. System sensed it for a while, but also found nothing unusual.

During System's interrogation, the snail never mentioned the crystal ball and the silver key.

Looking back now, it seemed that whenever System was about to ask the snail what he had, Jess the snail would intentionally or unintentionally avoid the key and the crystal ball.

It seems that the killed snail should be kept for a while longer. If the snail is not dead, System will know what these two things are.

But System changed his mind, if the snail hadn't killed it in front of the lizardman Thunderclaw.

With Thunderclaw being brainwashed by the snail, he would never take out the snail's stuff and send it to him.

So it's not a problem for him to kill this snail with ulterior motives.

……

Putting the two relics of the snail back into the storage room, System continued to ask Black about other things that happened on the underground floating island.

Generally speaking, the foraging of the ants is similar to what System imagined. The casualties of the ants have been less and less in the past month, especially the first batch of big ants and ant knights who pupated in the abyss for the second time. They are very adaptable. In the abyss environment, the efficiency of going out to collect food is also higher than that of ants breeding in the main world.

However, it was lower than the 20% expected by System. Only 10% of the ants that pupated twice in the abyss became ant knights, and the rest pupated into big ants.

In addition, more than ten days ago, due to System's omission, some minor situations reappeared in the underground palace.

Several demonic insect nests cultivated separately by System mutated again. For some reason, one of the demonic insect nests mutated again into a nest that could produce mosquito demons.

Since the worm's nest is above the underground palace, it will not be inspected by Black on weekdays.

So when Black discovered the situation, a mosquito demon close to two meters had already appeared in the devil's nest, and more than a dozen ant knights were attacked by the mosquito demon and died.

However, it was not the shadow or the meat ball that System had expected to defeat the mosquito demon, but the jet that had an extraordinary understanding of the power of airflow.

When Black discovered the condition of the mosquito demon, the jet had already used bomb-like compressed air to detonate the mosquito demon's head.

However, apart from the jet, none of the new batch of abyss ants has the ability to control the air flow to the level of the jet.

The ants produced by the queen Linda in the abyss have undergone secondary pupation, although their physique is much stronger, but the proportion of ants awakened to control air flow is only one-third of that of the ants in the main world.

Moreover, the ability of the ants in the abyss to control the airflow is also weaker than that of the ants in the main world.

Hearing Black's narration, System suddenly understood why the masters of Meat Ball and Shadow had to go to the main world to find the second pupated insect beast.

Because in the main world, the worms that have achieved the second pupation, or the third molt will gain stronger power.

Although these ants are not actually listening to the voice of the world, but just awakening the blood in their bodies.

But System recalled the many ants and the process of his own ability acquisition, and Ying once described the master's experiment on insects, System suddenly guessed the law of ability acquisition by hearing the voice of the world.

If he hadn't been a bug, had seen many bugs that broke through the limits of his body, and possessed the ability of [teleportation] to control the emotions of bugs, System would not have known the law of the ability given by the voice of the world.

If he is another race, even if he has the ability of [Mind Teleportation], he will not know the voice of the world, because most races cannot use [chrysalis] and [molting growth] to break through their limits like insects, Because most of the ways other races gain power do not rely on the endowment of the voice of the world, but rely more on learning or awakening the blood of their ancestors.

And without the [Mind Teleportation] ability to communicate with other insects, it would be even more impossible for System to discover the law of the world's voice empowerment.

Because the world voice empowerment is related to the intelligence of life itself.

Most of the abilities obtained by creatures with low intelligence are very weak, but creatures with high intelligence may not necessarily obtain powerful abilities.

The ability endowed by the voice of the world is mainly due to the subconsciousness of life.

System came to this world knowing nothing, although he always wanted to live, but subconsciously wanted to understand this world, so he obtained the [perception] ability to feel the surrounding things.

His vision, hearing, and sense of smell have all been enhanced, and he has also gained the ability of [intuition].

The grasshopper queen, Kun, subconsciously wanted to fly with the grasshoppers, so she obtained an ability to communicate with the grasshoppers [teleportation].

The type and power of the ability bestowed by the voice of the world are related to the strength of the subconscious mind of life.

Shava's intelligence is not low, and her heart is pure. From the time she knew System and was called a fool, she believed in System's identity as an ant queen. Later, System proclaimed herself king, and Shava's There was no change in her heart, and after being indoctrinated by System into the idea of ​​a knight, she regarded herself as a knight.

It is this simplicity that allows Sawa to gain power beyond common sense.

After all, the strength of the inner subconscious is not measured by the size of the goal. Some people want to trample the world under their feet, but their beliefs may only occupy a small corner of their hearts; and Shava’s wish is just like a knight To protect System, but this desire filled Shava's heart.

So the excavator that likes to dig has a strong power to control the soil; while the hook that controls the lightning can only emit a weak current...

Perhaps awakening the blood vessels of the body is also related to the voice of the world and the subconscious mind of life.

Therefore, the intelligence of the main world is higher, and the ants with simple minds are relatively easy to awaken the ability to control the air flow in the body; while the ants in the abyss are affected by the abyss, and their minds are relatively chaotic, so it is much more difficult to awaken the air flow ability in the blood.

System feels that his conjecture is generally correct, and basically conforms to the situation of the bugs. Only some bugs do not conform to his inference and need to be further improved.

But even knowing this, System didn't think of any way to cheat.

The simple-minded Shava is just a special case. Ants can be changed through brainwashing, but it is difficult to change the latent thoughts in the hearts of ants.

And System has already made a promise to regard ants as his people, and System will not break his promise...
