Laws of the Insect Hive

After three days of eating and consuming experience points, System enhanced Linda's [pupation] talent from level 13 to level 15, raising the talent level by 2 levels, reaching Linda's [pupation] talent Level cap.

However, the eggs produced by Queen Linda have not changed much.

Except for a very few ant eggs with different talents that inherit the queen's high-level [pupation], most of the ant eggs' [pupation] talent is still concentrated at around level 6 to 8, and it still needs to consume a lot of slimes. The colloid can carry out the second pupation.

However, compared to the common 3 to 5 [pupation] talent of ordinary ants, the ant eggs produced by Queen Linda have made great progress.

At least there will be no congenitally deficient individuals like the worker ant Black.

Considering the relatively cold winter and lack of food, System finally let Queen Linda try to produce a thousand ant eggs first.

If food is abundant, continue to produce some, and if food is not enough, continue to expand the ant colony until the food is abundant in spring.

At that time, the grassland will be very rich in insects and grasses.

Ants are naturally good at storing food. In the process of expanding the size of the ant colony in summer, without his management, the ants will actively collect enough food for them to survive the winter.

...

In the process of strengthening Queen Ant Linda, System suddenly had an idea, and once this idea appeared, it was out of control.

All System had in mind was flying.

If his ant people have the ability to fly, it will be extremely convenient whether it is collecting food, finding prey for siege, or migrating long distances.

In fact, both females and males have the ability to fly, but when females mate with males, their wings fall off and never grow back.

As for worker ants and soldier ants, ants are not born with wings because of heredity.

But this does not mean that the worker ants and soldier ants do not have the bloodline with wings, but this bloodline will not stimulate and manifest, and the worker ants and soldier ants have the possibility of growing wings again.

It's a pity that System has used the tentacles to [perceive] for a long time, and he has not found out how to activate the bloodline of the wings in Queen Linda's body. The bloodline of an ant's wings seems to be very different from that of a grasshopper.

The rest of the worker ant knights and the ant egg System also found nothing.

To this end, System decided to search for some winged male and female ants in the Warren Plains and compare them with the bloodline of Queen Linda.

Although there are many fewer ant nests in Warren Plains than in Lilte Forest, there are still some ant nests.

Even after the summer rainy season, some of these ants will survive tenaciously.

During the three days in his spare time to strengthen the talent of Queen Linda's [Pupation], System would bring an excavator to dig other ant nests together, looking for possible female or male ants.

After a year and a half, the excavator can be said to be the fastest growing one among the many ant people in System.

...

Species: Great worker ants (can be renamed)

Grade: 14/14

Length: 0.26 meters

Weight: 17kg

Estimated combat strength: 12-16

Special: [Pupation] (12/12), [Insect Adaptability] (9/19)

...

The big worker ant excavator may have absorbed the power of the earth. Its level has reached the full level of 14 like Shawa. The outer shell of the body is covered with a thick layer of mud armor, which is very heavy.

Today's excavators can quickly dig a tunnel underground for him to pass through, just like an earth escape technique, and he can dig a distance of nearly half a meter every second.

If it wasn't for the excavator's [Pupation] talent level being really difficult to improve, it might have entered its third pupation half a year ago.

With the help of such a powerful excavator, it is naturally very easy to dig a few ant nests.

With the help of the excavator, System destroyed five ant nests in a row, and harvested a lot of food stored in these ant nests.

It is a pity that most of the ants in these ant nests are dormant in winter. Even a few queens in the depths of the ant nest were found by System, but the female or male ants were not found by System at all. half.

Obviously, no ants will choose to mate at this stage in the deep winter, so there are no female ants and male ants at all.

System's idea of ​​creating a population of flying ants had no choice but to shelve temporarily. It was estimated that after spring, he would be able to find some flying female or male ants, and then compare them with the bloodline in Queen Linda's body.

...

For three days, System did not find any flying female or male ants, nor did he find any small animals.

But with an inadvertent glance in the air, System found a firelight hundreds of kilometers away in the northwest direction and a blurry scene.

If it weren't for this sudden burst of light, it would have been difficult for System to detect the movement in the distance.

There are all kinds of zombies gathered together, including wild wolves and antelopes on all fours, as well as dwarf mice and tall gnolls.

There were hundreds of thousands of zombies gathered together, and they seemed to be attacking a town with stone walls.

System saw red flames bursting in the zombies, and he didn't know whether it was a spell or a magic item similar to a bomb.

Because the distance was too far, System's view was very blurry, and he couldn't tell whether the zombies had the upper hand or the gnolls in the town had the upper hand.

So System flew down from the sky after watching it for a few minutes.

If only the shadow was there...

Unable to see the scene in the distance, System, who knew nothing of what happened in the Warren Plain, remembered the shadow, the grasshopper beast who went to assassinate the old Druid to avenge Kun.

Ying Tian, ​​who has stealth and aura of hiding, is suitable for spying on intelligence, and after failing to assassinate the old Druid, she escaped from the old Druid's hands, and she will have no problem facing most situations.

If Ying Neng is here, he will definitely find out what happened in the Warren Plains, so that he will not be in a state of confusion after coming to this world for more than two years.

During the long process of pupation, the aura of the shadow that System felt was indeed real.

According to Black, Shadow, who failed to assassinate the old Druid, managed to find his lair a few months ago, stayed there for a few days, and then left again.

Shadow, who left this time, did not recklessly go to assassinate the old Druid again, but decided to return to the twenty-sixth floor of the abyss. She wanted to rescue some of her former worm companions and bring them to System.

Blake, who was well aware of the low-key development that System wanted, persuaded Ying, and wanted Ying to stay here so as not to cause trouble, and make plans after System wakes up.

However, Ying is obviously a guy who will not change his mind no matter how much others persuade him after he has made up his mind.

Shadow, who had made up her mind, eventually left, but she took Black's advice before leaving.

Promise that Black will be as careful as possible in the process of rescuing the bug companion, so that her former master will not notice, and that it will not cause any trouble to System's lair.
