Laws of the Insect Hive

Finding that the contract with Nellis would not make any progress for a while, System continued on the road, returning to the temporary nest with his bird meat.

The appearance of the ice elf Nellis did not bring much influence to System, she would not influence System's actions, nor did she make such or such requests, she would only hang in the air of System. Above his head, he watched System's actions and everything around him.

If System didn't take the initiative to speak up, Nellis would remain silent.

System could feel that Nellis likes to talk, and he himself hadn't communicated with anyone other than Shava for a long time.

So during the journey, System would talk to Nellis from time to time.

As System and Nellis gradually became acquainted, System learned many stories about Nellis' previous contractor, the white bear.

In fact, in System's opinion, it could not be regarded as a story, because these stories basically had no plot, and were roughly the hunting career of a white bear.

In fact, there are not many food sources in the freezing Liert Forest.

In addition to absorbing the power of frost and cold in the air, that white bear likes to eat fish and can only eat fish.

Usually it smashes the ice with its sturdy icy bear claws and catches fish below the water.

The location of the lake where the white bears caught fish, System had seen in the clouds, it was the lake with countless brown butterflies, and after it was freezing cold, there were a lot of fish living under the ice layer of the lake.

Neris also passed on System the image of the white bear fighting an abyss demon.

The sharp claws of the ice and the roar of rage, the eyes of the white bear burst out with icy blue beams of light, and finally defeated the demon who invaded the territory.

But it was such a powerful white bear, but because the ice and snow melted, it refused to leave its territory and go to the Liert Mountains, and finally died silently...

...

For a few hours, System used his tentacles to quickly shuttle between the trees, and he was getting closer and closer to the temporary nest.

The closer he got to the temporary nest, the stronger System's [intuition] brought him. The soldier ant Shava in the temporary nest was not dead, but most of the other ant people were fierce. Much less.

And when the sun completely went down, System, who was traveling, suddenly felt a strange heat flow from the ice blue halo above his head.

System felt faintly dizzy, and he immediately sent a spiritual message to Neris, but Neris did not respond, and seemed to have fallen asleep again.

System knew that the contract between him and Nellis was about to begin...

It's a sword, a shield, or wings, or claws...

System muttered what Nellis had said to him, and he was also a little curious about what kind of frost power he would gain because of it.

A humming sound suddenly appeared in System's ear, making him very upset.

This kind of sound seemed familiar, System recalled that before listening to the voice of the world and acquiring the talent [Perception], he heard a similar roar, and then he appeared in a white world.

System quickly discovered that he really appeared in that white world, and it seemed that this was the place where he listened to the voice of the world last time.

But System found the difference. This time, he could clearly feel his existence. He could see more than a dozen tentacles growing on his body, and he could freely control these tentacles to move.

There seems to be no gravity here, he floats in mid-air, completely unable to control his body to move.

It didn't take long for a special icy blue aura to burst into the void and completely envelop him. System felt that his spirit was gradually becoming exhausted. After that, he fell asleep again...

...

System’s coma this time was surprisingly short, perhaps he wasn’t in a coma at all.

When he regained consciousness, his tentacles remained the same as before, and the sky didn't turn pitch black at all.

From the time recorded by System in the [Tools Menu], he found that only ten seconds had passed since he entered that white world and woke up from a coma.

Looking around, System suddenly realized that the ice blue circle above his head had disappeared.

Could it be that the contract failed?

System touched the place where the halo above his head with his tentacles, and glanced around to look for Neris, the ice elf.

Ding! You gain the special talent [Frost Form].

Ding! Your [Frost Breath] ability level increases.

Ding! You gain the derived ability [Ice Spikes], which is only effective in [Frost Form].

Ding! You gain the derivative ability [Frost Slime], which is only effective in [Frost Form].

After a series of [Tools Menu] prompts, System found that his body was full of Frost energy, and his [Frost Breath] was directly upgraded to level 11, entering a new level, and obtained a lot of Frost energy. related abilities.

...

[Frost Form] (11/25): A special talent obtained from the contract between System and Neris. Activate this ability to transform into Frost Form, gaining the power to drive Frost.

[Ice Spike] (11/21): The special derivative ability of System's [Frost Form]. Ice spikes can be spawned at the ends of tentacles as weapons.

[Frost Slime] (13/27): Special abilities obtained from [Frost Form], [Frost Breath] and [Corrosive Slime]. Can breathe corrosive frost slime.

...

Feeling the unique rhythm of the frost energy in his body, System tried to use his newly acquired power [Frost Form].

System felt a deep-cold force as if gushing out from his heart and began to flow in the blood of his body.

A layer of hoarfrost gradually appeared on his body surface, and the hoarfrost gradually solidified and formed light blue ice crystals. System's body surface finally formed a layer of light blue ice crystal armor. The peculiar pattern on the exoskeleton.

At the same time, System's dozen or so tentacles slowly turned from brown to ice blue.

The tentacles are still very soft, but the ends of these tentacles gather the energy of frost and cold, and finally form ice crystal spikes five centimeters in length.

Of course, in addition to the above changes, the ice blue aperture on System's head also reappeared after System activated [Frost Form].

The process of System's transformation into [Frost and Cold Form] seemed slow, but it was actually completed in an instant.

Under the [Frost and Cold Form], System's physical fitness has been improved to varying degrees, and the frost energy contained in his body has increased dozens of times.

However, [Frost and Cold Form] is a bit heavy on System's body. System feels that he can only last for about fifteen minutes, after which his body will be completely exhausted, so in order to avoid losing the ability to move, he can only Activate for about ten minutes.

System waved the brand-new frost tentacles at will, and he found that the speed of swinging the tentacles was more than doubled now.

With a bang, System pierced the tree with the sharp end of the tentacle, and the 5-centimeter thorn completely sank into the trunk.

With the ability of [Ice Spike] alone, System could easily kill the Black Hawk who had been struggling to subdue him.

By observing the information on the [Tools Menu], System found that his combat power increased by a dozen times after he changed to [Frost and Cold Form], from 3.7 to 43.

And his rank has also been improved, from metamorphosis to magic.

It seems that in this state, he has transcended the limitations of mortal things and has become a magical species.
