Laws of the Insect Hive

Watching the death knight fighting with the centipede demon, System felt something strange.

Normal centipede demons will take the initiative to fight as long as they are within twenty meters.

These centipede demons that suddenly gushed out of the ground did not kill each other, and were able to work together to attack the death knight. Obviously, they were controlled by insect demons.

The facts also confirmed System's idea.

Just as the death knight and the centipede demon were fighting, continuous flames exploded...

The 2.5-meter-long Insect Demon used the power of flames to make a sneak attack, blasting the death knight from the skeleton horse to the side.

However, the death knight who was blown away did not suffer any major injuries. After shaking his head, the death knight regained his fighting stance.

Because he did not dare to get close to observe, System could not use the ability of [Exploration Analysis] to investigate the combat power level of these two creatures.

System could only roughly observe that in the battle between the Insect Demon and the Death Knight, it seemed that the Death Knight had a slight upper hand.

It was only because some centipede demons gushing out of the ground often made sneak attacks on the death knight that the battle between the insect demon and the death knight was in a stalemate.

After a few minutes, System looked into the distance to see if there was any threat around. After turning his gaze back, the death knight's sharp sword had chopped off the head of the worm demon to the ground.

With the death of the insect demon, the centipede demons surviving around immediately became a mess and began to kill each other.

The death knight didn't pay attention to these centipede demons who only knew how to kill. His white sword gradually appeared a layer of black light, and he further damaged the already collapsed underground space, sneaking into the underground tunnel.

Because he could only watch from a distance in the sky, System had no idea what happened to the death knight underground.

Ten minutes later, the death knight jumped from the underground space to the ground.

He stretched out his right hand, very handsomely showing the blue light, and a brand new blue fire skeleton warhorse appeared in front of the death knight from the void.

Stepping on the brand new skeleton warhorse, the death knight quickly left.

As for the skeleton warhorse wreckage that was scattered by the centipede demon's attack, when the death knight's new warhorse appeared, it instantly collapsed into ordinary broken bones and scattered all over the place.

Watching the death knight gradually receding, System did not choose to keep up, but decided to investigate this underground space.

If System’s guess was correct, then this should be the centipede demon lair that System had been searching for for a long time and could not find it.

Seeing that the death knight had walked some distance, System flew south.

At a distance of five kilometers from him, Shava was waiting there, and System decided to take Shava to this worm lair with him.

In fact, System’s pursuit of the death knight this time was just a temporary intention, and Shava was not brought with him on the previous routine inspection.

However, because Shava has the ability to sense him, as long as he finds that he is too far away and has not returned for a long time, Shava will take the initiative to rush in his direction.

It was precisely because of this that System kept Shava at a distance of 5 kilometers from him while tracking the death knight, and was careful not to be discovered by the death knight.

...

Although the death knight is gone, there are still some small demon centipedes of a few centimeters and a dozen or twenty centimeters in the soil of the worm's nest. Because of the loss of the control of the worm, these small demon centipedes are frantically biting each other.

System knew that unless these centipede demons could grow into a three-meter giant centipede after biting and devouring each other, there could only be one winner among these demon centipedes biting each other.

System also ignored these centipede demons. The centipede demons generally did not attack other creatures until they killed each other.

System gradually moved to the side of the broken bones of the skeleton warhorse, stretched out his tentacles and picked up a broken bone and put it into his mouth.

But System quickly spat out the broken bones from his mouth.

Compared with the meat quality of zombies, the smell of blue fire skull warhorses is more serious, and it is several times more unpalatable than the meat quality of zombies.

System even had a feeling that he wanted to rinse his mouth with water.

It seems that this pure undead can't be used as food at all.

Taking his eyes away from these broken bones, System turned to look at the reddish-brown fleshy roots like tree roots in the soil.

The flesh and blood roots seem to be soft, but they are actually very hard. System’s [Teleportation] can feel the weak emotions in this flesh and blood, and this emotion has a feeling similar to that of plants.

System tore off a small piece of flesh and blood and put it into his mouth.

Although it is still sweet and spicy, the taste is very light and very light, and the taste is the difference between meat and plants.

These flesh and blood form dense roots, which are firmly rooted in the soil, as if absorbing the nutrients in the soil.

System saw that when the roots were stuck with some centipede demon blood, they would absorb the centipede demon blood in a short period of time.

And if the corpse of a centipede demon appears next to these flesh-and-blood roots, these flesh-and-blood roots will be like vines, quickly entangling the centipede demon's body, as if to absorb and recycle these corpses.

System observed for a while and found that there was nothing more noteworthy, so he took Shava to the depths of the demon worm's lair.

The deeper it goes, the more severe the sulphur smell from the worm's lair, and there will be more centipede demons fighting each other in the passage, as well as the corpses of centipede demons.

And System, who entered the depths of the lair, was finally able to see the Demon Insect lair that was destroyed by the death knight.

It was like a giant sarcoma several meters in diameter had been broken, and the reddish-brown flesh was scattered all over the place.

If this worm's nest is not destroyed by the death knight, it should look like a potato or sweet potato growing in the ground, but with a lot more roots.

System picked up a small piece of flesh and put it out of his mouth. In addition to being sweet and spicy, these scattered flesh also exuded a stench of undead.

It appears that the death knight used the power of the undead to contaminate the flesh...

Because of the destruction of this Demon Insect Nest, there were many egg-sized reddish-brown insect eggs in the scattered pieces of meat. System glanced around and found that there were at least a thousand such reddish-brown insect eggs.

Perhaps the death knight thought that these reddish-brown worm eggs were not a threat, so they did not clean up these worm eggs, or they were in a hurry to clean up another worm nest, and most of these worm eggs were still alive.

Extending his tentacles, System picked up an egg at will. After using the tentacles to [perceive] and found that there was nothing abnormal, System used the ability of [Teleportation] to try again with the centipede egg. to communicate.

Unlike the centipede demons that hatched, the emotions generated by these centipede eggs were not particularly violent, and could be influenced by System’s spiritual messages.

However, after some experiments, System found that this effect was extremely weak, and it was almost impossible to hypnotize these centipede eggs by hypnotizing ant eggs.

...

However, just when System found that there was nothing of value and was about to leave, System suddenly felt a very subtle emotion in the pile of minced meat in the Demon Insect Nest, as if something was calling for help. .

The thing that sent out the cry for help was not an insect egg, but more like a plant.
