Laws of the Insect Hive

System raised his head, and there was a flash of blue light in his eyes.

System flew up quickly, the tentacles on his body intertwined to form a streamlined shape, and his flight speed further accelerated.

For nearly a month, he has been uneasy for no reason, but on this day, he finally found an unusual clue.

Because of the strengthening of the [Perception] talent, the derived ability [Eye of System] has also been improved, and System can now see some unusual things, such as - the frost energy floating in the air.

Not with the body to perceive, but indeed with the eyes to see.

Because of the power of frost in his body, System can see the free frost energy in the Liert Forest even if he is thousands of meters away. Color energy, this energy is closely related to his [mental transmission] and [perception] abilities.

Just now, System accidentally discovered a strange frost energy dimple over the forest 100 meters away, and with the appearance of this dimple, the frost energy there decreased a little.

The whirlpool is not very large, only a few tens of centimeters in size. When System flew to the whirlpool, the frost energy whirlpool had not completely dissipated, and he immediately discovered the unusualness here.

System's tentacles sensed a strange smell of sulfur, and also felt a strange aura that made him slightly dazed by the heat.

This dry heat energy is incompatible with the free frost energy in the air. Once the two energies come into contact with each other, they will destroy each other. The ice blue vortex is obviously formed because of this.

How can such a scorching energy aura appear in the ice and snow?

System transformed into a [frost form] in mid-air, and asked Neris, the halo above his head.

Nellis seemed to be familiar with this strange aura, and immediately replied to System, This is the aura of the abyss.

abyss?

Um.

System hovered in midair and glanced down the forest for a while, until the smell of sulfur in the air completely dissipated, and he did not find any trace of abyss creatures below.

The so-called abyss, System has heard from Nellis more than once in the past six months.

However, Nellis is not very clear about what the abyss looks like. She just said that her former contractor, the white bear, had fought several times with demons from the abyss.

From a long, long time ago, the Lilt Forest seems to have an unknown connection to the abyss, and there are always some abyss creatures invading here.

System had also asked the goblin giant what the abyss was, but the goblin giants who had lost their power and suddenly regained their power were also not very clear. They didn’t know as much as Nellis.

Wang, have you found anything?

Seeing that System hovered for a while from suddenly flying into the sky, and his expression became a little dignified, Shava immediately leaned over to System and asked.

Nothing for now.

System replied to Shava that although there was no trace of the creatures in the abyss, System felt that his unease came from this breath.

Maybe after a while, he will encounter monsters from the abyss.

...

...

In System's nest, the five worker ants that set traps and trapped mice left the nest again after eating and resting for a while.

They were to retrieve the paralysis traps that the rats had previously placed.

Since only one soldier ant in the entire nest possesses the ability of this [paralyzing toxin], each time this toxin is secreted, it takes a long time to recover before it can be secreted again.

Therefore, these toxin-containing baits need to be recycled and let the soldier ants eat and absorb, otherwise the [paralyzing toxin] on the poisonous baits will lose their effectiveness after a long time.

Ants are born with a sensitive sense of smell, and these dark-brown ants turn gray and white, and their sense of smell is even more sensitive as they grow larger.

The five worker ants shook their antennae at the same time, and they used the antennae on the top of their heads to touch and communicate with each other, apparently they found something unusual.

Several worker ants gave up the toxin bait recovery, and followed the fishy smell in the air, and gradually moved to the back of a tree nearly thirty meters away from System's nest.

Behind the tree, a few ants found a half body of a butterfly larva, about five centimeters in length.

A few ants explored the situation near the corpse of the butterfly larvae for a while. After a while, two of the ants cooperated with each other to carry the corpse of the butterfly larvae and decided to transport it back to the nest.

Although the active hunting of the butterfly larvae has been banned by Wang, there is no reason for them not to recycle the corpse of the butterfly larvae.

However, before the five soldier ants could deliver the butterfly larvae two meters away, a strange uninvited guest appeared in front of them.

The pink flesh was exposed, like an oval meat ball the size of a watermelon. This meat ball kept shaking in the snow and exuded a slightly hot bloody smell.

Although the IQ of the worker ants bred by System was higher, they still inherited the fearless character of the ants.

Several worker ants moved towards the meat ball, and they wanted to find out what the fishy meat ball was.

As the worker ants approached, the meatball vibrated faster and faster.

When a worker ant was about to touch the meat ball, the meat ball changed suddenly.

A giant white butterfly larva of about fifteen centimeters grew out of the meat ball in a few seconds, and a hair-thin dark-brown thread appeared at the tail of the butterfly larva to connect with the meat ball.

This giant butterfly larva looks like a real butterfly larva. It squirmed towards a worker ant and ran over, wrapping the worker ant tightly with its bloated body like a snake.

Despite its huge size and overwhelming strength, the butterfly larvae are not good at fighting. The entangled worker ant constantly waved the fangs on its head, causing a lot of damage to the butterfly larva. Several other worker ants also tacit understanding. With the cooperation, they launched an offensive against the butterfly larvae, and the butterfly larvae were bitten and bruised all over.

One of the several worker ants suddenly discovered something. Instead of continuing to bite the butterfly larvae, the worker ant attacked the thin line connecting the tail of the butterfly larvae to the meat ball.

The thin thread is very hard, but the fangs strengthened by System are obviously stronger and sharper.

In less than half a minute, as the thread was bitten by the worker ants, the struggling white butterfly larva instantly lost its ability to move and suddenly became motionless.

Several ants decided to move this giant butterfly larva back to the nest...

But a few ants apparently didn't notice that the pink flesh ball not far from them had changed shape.

A round mouthpart of twenty centimeters in size appeared on the meat ball, and the mouthpart was surrounded by sharp white and brown teeth.

In an instant, the meatball ate five worker ants and the giant butterfly larva that grew out of its body...

Not long after, the surface of the meat ball began to wriggle again, and an ant nearly eight centimeters grew from the surface of the meat ball. There was also a thin line near the tail of this ant that was connected to the meat ball.
