Laws of the Insect Hive

Because several abyss magical creatures have been killed in succession these days, System occupies a surrounding area of ​​about 200 meters, which is roughly a small piece of land plus a large bubbling swamp. There are some carnivorous swamps in the northern swamp. Plants, there are many toads in the south.

System also learned to release the breath of magical life in his body to mark his territory.

However, after only two or three days of trying, System got tired of marking the territory.

After all, exuding aura marks the territory, and he has to come every few hours, otherwise the aura will disappear.

Moreover, with the breath mark, System could not feel much effect, only some abyss life that was forced to succumb to Shava's strength appeared.

So far, two snakes, three toads, and one lizard have voluntarily surrendered to System.

Whenever System passed by these creatures, they would voluntarily lie on the ground motionless, indicating that their lives were in System’s hands and could be taken away at any time.

But these surrendered abyss creatures are of no use to System. When System's ant people return from the half plane, in order to prevent these low-intelligence abyss creatures from attacking the ants, System will still All these surrendered abyss creatures were killed.

However, marking the territory has some uses after all, which can effectively prevent some abyss magical creatures from invading the vicinity of his lair.

In the future, after his ant people return from the half plane, the threat they receive will be greatly reduced.

For this reason, System came up with a compromise solution, that is, let the flesh ball, which is also a magical life in the abyss, replace him to release the breath of the marked territory.

Because Meatball hates loneliness, System made Shadow and Meatball form a partner, and they go outside regularly every day to let out the air.

This not only solves the matter of marking the breath for the territory, but also satisfies the desire of Meatball to fly outside. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

...

Slowly lower the tentacle that emits a green halo.

Using the power of the Druid [Growing Plants], the Devil's Nest cultivated by System grew rapidly again, and the flesh and blood roots quickly extended.

It seems that the environment of the abyss is very suitable for the growth of the Devil's Nest. After a few days, the original human fist-sized flesh has grown to a diameter of thirty centimeters, and countless flesh and blood roots have grown outwards.

System shook his head slightly, showing a somewhat unhappy expression.

He felt the call again, and the one who called him was an old acquaintance, still the withered lich.

Perhaps it was the goodbye he said at the end of the first encounter with this lich, and this was the third time System had been harassed by that lich.

If System had known this would happen, he would never have said more nonsense with this lich at that time, and even if it was nonsense, he would not have said goodbye, but farewell.

System didn't even respond this time, and directly hung up the old lich's harassment.

In the past few days, System has received more than a dozen summons from different planes.

System also asked Shadow and Meatball about what happened to him.

However, Shadow and Meatball did not have this situation at all. The predecessor of Meatball is still unknown, but Shadow stayed in the abyss for so many years and was never summoned once.

System didn't know why, these summons always found him inexplicably.

Somewhere, System felt that it should be related to the real name he acquired in advance as a magical being.

It seems that among the abyss creatures with real names, the cost of summoning him is relatively low, so when casting the abyss summon, the probability of selecting him will be much higher.

Fortunately, the call that System felt was not mandatory. As long as he did not agree, he could immediately cut off the wave of the call.

There are roughly three types of summons System has received these days.

The first is the kind of ordinary mortals who sacrifice their life, soul, body, or some other things. Their strength is generally very low, and they are also pleading when they call him.

System also learned a lot of what happened in the main world by communicating with these humans or humanoid beings.

Most of them wanted him to kill or harm others; some wanted to gain power on their own; there was a madman who wanted to take the initiative to become a slave of System, and then throw himself into the arms of the abyss.

Although he was very interested in having a dark elf as a servant, System refused to prevent any problems.

The second type of summoning is that the calling party is stronger, and most of them are extraordinary or legendary beings.

By promising something, they wanted to sign an equal or unequal contract with System, making System the opponent's combat partner, or the opponent's slave.

For this kind of summon or contract, System would naturally not agree, and he would not communicate with the other party. After encountering it, System would directly withdraw from the summon and choose to refuse in disguise.

The third call is not so much a call, but more of a transaction.

These days, System has only encountered the third summoning once, because the thing that summoned System for the third time is not an ordinary creature, but a sleeping god.

Of course, it is not clear whether the other party is the god System or not. In short, the other party is a god who calls himself the God of the Labyrinth.

The sleeping god seems to want to build a maze similar to the rpg games in the previous life, and wants to make System's ants become monsters in the maze, and he will become a small boss similar to the level boss.

Once you become a monster in the labyrinth, you can no longer get out of the labyrinth.

But on the contrary, System and its ant people will have eternal life in the labyrinth. As long as the god of the labyrinth does not fall, even if he is killed by intruders in the labyrinth, he will still be in the labyrinth. Resurrection from time to time.

Some are similar to the monsters that were refreshed in the game.

Immortality was indeed a temptation that made System very excited.

But not to mention that the rest of his life will be trapped in the labyrinth, and he has no way of knowing the truth or falsehood of the information sent by the god of the labyrinth.

Maybe the god of the labyrinth is the same evil god as Rafael, the god of plagues and curses.

And trading with the evil god is tantamount to committing suicide.

System's [intuition] can't feel anything either. As long as he encounters these high-end existences, it will lose its effectiveness and cannot predict whether things are good or bad.

After thinking for a while, System didn't think too much, and decisively rejected the god's deal.

...

Feeling the druid power left in his body, System once again used the power of [Growing Plant] on the Devil's Nest.

However, after System was interrupted by the last summoning wave, this time when he used the power of [Growing Plant], System was once again interrupted by the vibration that appeared on the ground.

With the appearance of the shadow and informing System of the situation on the ground, System also learned what the creatures that appeared on the ground were.

It was the giant slime that System was looking for these days, but couldn't find.

Soon, System moved out of the lair and saw a giant slime friend who was two meters tall in front of him.

However, contrary to System's expectations, the huge slime friend who was supposed to be friendly was not friendly. After receiving System's order, instead of obeying System's order, he became still.

After more than ten seconds, the huge slime suddenly jumped towards System.

A giant slime doesn't just get huge, it already has a mind of its own...
