Laws of the Insect Hive

No one is born to hunt, but mantises and spiders are born to hunt, which is a no-brainer.

However, System's hunting skills can be gradually sharpened. Although there is no inheritance from the blood, human wisdom and the powerful physical quality of insects, as long as he keeps practicing, will definitely make him an excellent hunter.

With only a few more similar hunting experiences, System would surely be able to capture this cricket easily.

However, System has no object to practice. Before he degenerates into an adult, his strength is insufficient, and challenging a powerful opponent will undoubtedly cause him to be disabled or even killed; and after degenerating into an adult, he will usher in this torrential rain and barren world. Prey for him to choose.

System shook his head, and he came to the cricket's hole and tried to get in.

Just like System's previous observation, the narrow hole really couldn't allow his worm head to pass through, and forcing him in would definitely break his head and blood would be worth the loss.

However, after observing the tree hole carefully, System's insect head gradually revealed a humane smile.

The shape of this tree hole is very strange, narrow outside and wide inside, only six or seven centimeters deep, System even smelled a special earthy smell on the cricket.

As long as the wood near the hole is widened, he can successfully drill into it and prey on the cricket.

And to expand the hole, System just had a solution, and that was his biochemical weapon [Corrosive Slime].

This corrosive liquid can easily corrode the bark, and it is believed that the effect of corroding wood will not be bad.

Although he can spit out not much mucus, he can recycle the corroded sap to reduce consumption, and it is enough to expand the cricket's tree hole.

This cricket hiding in the tree hole is like a turtle in a urn, and there is no possibility of escape.

The foul-smelling mucus gradually secreted from System's claws, and the opening of the tree hole began to slowly melt.

As System used [Corrosive Slime], the cricket that had been standing still in the tree hole became a little uneasy, and its body trembled slightly, moving left and right from time to time.

Seeing this, System was even more careful, lest the cricket suddenly burst out of the tree hole and let it run away again.

After more than ten minutes, the opening of the hole had been opened halfway by System, and the cricket in the tree hole calmed down as if resigned, only its abdomen was still breathing slowly.

After another ten minutes, System successfully bit off the cricket's head.

There was no battle, because System was secreting the volatilization of the corrosive liquid, and the cricket was stunned by the poison gas before System could catch it.

The cricket was restless at first and suddenly became quiet after ten minutes. It seems that the smell of his [corrosive mucus] has a certain toxicity.

However, the toxicity of this gas is not strong, and it takes more than ten minutes to stun crickets in a confined space such as a tree hole, and it is obviously not feasible to use it as a means of hunting.

...

While eating, System didn’t stop, thinking about his next prey while eating the corpse of the cricket.

After the rainstorm, food was very scarce, and System couldn't think of anything to hunt, and finally he thought of the two spiders again.

While hunting the crickets, System thought of a way to deal with the spiders.

He has a unique advantage over spiders, and that is the ability to fly.

The solution System thought of was to find a wooden stick, then grab the stick, fly up and use the stick to stab the spider.

Of course System didn’t think he could pierce the spider with a wooden stick, what he wanted to do was to stab the spider into the water.

Although the spider can use the silk thread to hang down to prevent it from falling, he can break the silk thread with 2 attacks. The operation is somewhat difficult, but there is a chance of success.

But System could only think of so much. The spider's strength would indeed plummet when it fell into the water, but so what, even if the spider drowned unfortunately, he would not be able to catch it.

...

The thinking System's claws kept chewing, and after he turned into an adult worm, his claws became so sharp that he could easily chew through even the strongest skull of a cricket.

Compared to ordinary meat, System preferred this kind of crustacean food. It tasted like crispy milk chocolate, a taste experience that he had never experienced in his previous life.

After partially eating the cricket's corpse, System grabbed the cricket's remaining corpse and flew back to his dead leaf lair.

After some thought, System finally chose to leave here.

The area of ​​100 meters nearby has been very familiar to him after these days, and he is confident that he can live safely here for two months.

But only by walking continuously can he discover more prey and opportunities, allowing him to extend his short lifespan.

System decided to leave the rest of the cricket corpse in the morning to feed his hunger, and leave here after he was full.

Compared to the dim night, System finally decided to explore the unknown forest during the day. After all, his body needed proper rest, and the dim sight at night also made his exploration less efficient.

...

Before dawn, System had already eaten the remaining corpse of the cricket.

Early in the morning, System got out of the dead leaf lair on time, chose a direction with a slightly higher terrain, and started jumping forward.

Because of the huge roar of his wings, System did not choose to fly. Although there were no birds in the vicinity for a few days after the heavy rain, it was hard to say if he was far away.

Because he has [information reading] to observe the danger, although System acts cautiously, his moving speed is not slow. After five minutes, he jumped and moved 100 meters and came to an unfamiliar land.

[Information reading] is very efficient, System found a few gray-brown mushrooms on a rotten and dead tree.

Mushrooms are undoubtedly a nutrient-dense food made up of fungi.

However, compared to green plants, System's body was very unfamiliar with the smell of mushrooms, and he couldn't tell whether the mushrooms were highly poisonous or not.

Although the color of this mushroom seemed to be non-toxic, System did not dare to try it lightly. He jumped on the mushroom to observe it for a while, and finally jumped away.

As System gradually moved towards the higher terrain, the water on the ground became shallower and shallower. After a few hundred meters, some pitted puddles gradually appeared on the ground.

Not long after, when System decided to take a break due to the consumption of [information reading], System discovered more than a dozen insects that he was familiar with.

It was a dozen or so ants that were very common in the forest. These ants had a dark brown body and were about one centimeter in size. This species of ant System seemed to have encountered before.

At this time, the dozen or so ants were biting at a tadpole that was struggling in the mud. The tadpole was about three centimeters in size except for its tail, and it had grown its hind legs.

Because the stagnant water subsided, the tadpole was unfortunately trapped in the mud, and even if it was not discovered by the ants, it could not escape.

System carefully observed the surroundings and found that there was no danger, and charged directly at an ant.

With his adult body rushing towards the ant colony, it is no longer the zebra rushing towards the hyena swarm, but the elephant rushing towards the hyena swarm.

He wants to hunt an ant first to try his current skills!
