Laws of the Insect Hive

Along with splashing white blood, the head of the molting insect was easily bitten by System's claws.

Seeing the folded wings that had not yet stretched out after the insect corpse molted, System finally knew what the insect he had killed was.

This is a large water cockroach (chai, four sounds), they live in the water as larvae and feed on larvae (jie, jue, two sounds, mosquito larvae), tadpoles or some small fish, it is a ferocious aquatic animal insect.

The insects formed after the final molting of water flies are basically familiar to people, that is, dragonflies.

System killed a dragonfly that was about to emerge.

The exoskeletons of the molting were all softened, and System could easily swallow them. This food rich in softened exoskeletons tasted like compressed milk chocolate, and System only ate four or five. Mouth, his abdomen felt full.

Feeling the feeling of fullness in his abdomen, System snorted harder and endured hunger for five days. System would rather eat as much as he could than endure hunger again.

Two hours later, the dragonfly corpse was eaten by System and digested nearly a quarter of it. System felt numb and numb again, and he successfully rose to level 7.

The body has grown from 3.4 centimeters to 4.1 centimeters, and the wing buds on the back have grown by half, and System can even control these newly grown wings to tremble slightly.

After this upgrade, System's talents [Metamorphosis Growth] and [Insect Adaptability] were slightly enhanced, but the level remained at level 11 and failed to improve. It seems that System deduced that the skill level reaching level 11 was a problem. The new level should be true.

Because of the experience of hunger and cold a few days before this upgrade, System once again obtained a derivative ability [Hunger Resistance Physique].

...

[Hunger-resistant constitution] (5/11): Obtained from the talent [insect adaptability]. The stomach can store more food, the utilization rate of food is increased, and the energy loss of the body is reduced.

...

In addition to the newly acquired [Hunger Resistance Physique], because of this upgrade, System's [Smelly Mucus] (3/7) has been upgraded to [Smelly Mucus] (4/7), the pungent smell that can be secreted in his mouth The mucus is more fishy, ​​and it also has some weak corrosiveness.

Perhaps because of [Hunger Resistance Physique], System felt that his abdomen became larger.

It's not that his body has become bigger after the upgrade, but that his abdomen has become much larger in proportion to his body.

System felt that the volume of his abdomen had at least doubled, and it took a long time for him to feel full after continuing to eat the dragonfly corpse.

System even had the illusion that the corpse in front of him was two or three times his weight, even if he didn't excrete it, he could eat it all.

After continuing to eat, System realized that it wasn’t all an illusion.

Ten minutes later, when he ate half of the dragonfly's remaining corpse, System's abdomen swelled to an incredible degree like a balloon, and the entire abdomen was more than twice the size of the rest of his body.

But even so, there was still room left in System's stomach, and he felt that he could still eat it.

However, System used reason to stop himself who wanted to continue eating. Although his stomach could hold more food, his body no longer allowed it.

With such a big belly, his movements have become a lot clumsy. If he continues to eat like this, he will definitely become difficult to move. If there is any dangerous situation, he will not be able to escape at all.

So System moved his body while guarding the dragonfly's corpse, waiting for the food in his stomach to digest.

During the digestion process, System's experience bar kept growing. System estimated that if the dragonfly corpse was completely digested, his level would almost reach level 7 and a half.

Just scavenge for some more food, and in less than two days, he can reach level 8. Reaching level 8 means that he will undergo a second molting and become an adult grasshopper that can fly.

According to his current digestion speed, System estimates that he can eat all the dragonfly corpses before dark, and then drag his full stomach back to his nest. The next day, he can go out for food as usual. .

...

...

Just as System was guarding the dragonfly corpse and exercising from time to time to speed up the digestion, there were bursts of mysterious and long songs from the depths of the forest.

The tone of the song was tactful and changeable, as if telling a long and vicissitudes story, but System didn't understand the specific content of the song, and he couldn't understand the language of this world at all.

System only heard that the man who made the sound seemed to be a human, and he was a little old.

Not long after, with the sound of the gurgling water, the owner of the song was half-recumbent on the raft and slowly passed by System.

The owner of the song is a handsome and old humanoid with deer-like horns on its head, sharp ears, and worn brown clothes.

It seems to be a Druid who is close to nature in the magical world. He controls the mysterious power to control the raft to move forward on the water.

The old Druid exuded a peaceful and mysterious natural breath, which made System unconsciously want to get close, and he even had the urge to jump into the palm of the old Druid.

On the raft, System saw several different kinds of snakes, as well as two silver-gray mice and a red-haired fox.

The fox and the two mice have obvious water stains in their hairs. They are natural enemies of each other and snuggle up on the raft with a few snakes, as if they have been friends for many years.

System speculated that these animals should have been rescued by the old Druid from the water, and used a mysterious power to make them very calm.

It didn't take long for the old Druid riding on the raft to gradually drift away, while System looked at the old Druid who had gone away and fell into contemplation.

The old Druid, who was half lying on the raft, exuded a strange power, and System felt the mysterious natural aura surrounding the old Druid.

The half-recumbent posture of the old Druid, like a Buddha entering meditation, merged into nature, and a word appeared in System's mind - the unity of heaven and man.

System couldn't really find any other words to describe the old Druid, and the old Druid really gave System a feeling of being a master of the world.

Can he be trusted?

The moment he saw the old Druid, System even had the idea of ​​showing his wisdom to the other party, but System finally suppressed the impulse in his heart.

He couldn't even make simple contact with the old Druid, just watched the old Druid leave on the raft from a distance.

The human heart is unpredictable, and hidden under the appearance of a peaceful and natural atmosphere, System has no way of knowing what the old Druid was thinking.

As a grasshopper, he has no equal right to dialogue with the old Druid, and he cannot bear to hand over his destiny to such a strange intelligent creature...
