Laws of the Insect Hive

Outside? Where's the outside? Where's the inside?

System recalled the various questions he had asked Meatball before, but in the end, he did not remember that Meatball had said some clues about the outside and inside.

Shaking his head, System used his tentacles to pick up the last piece of meat left in front of him.

Although the meat piece was as deadly as if it was the emotion perceived by [mental connection] or what he saw with his eyes, when he touched it with his tentacles, System found that the meat piece was still shaking slightly. .

System could be sure that the creature with the bloodline of an insect had died, but the last flesh and blood it left still retained a unique activity.

Like slime glue.

This mass of flesh and blood should be the core part of the creature with the insect bloodline. It did not exude the kind of aura that made him uneasy, but pure insect flesh and blood.

System put some white blood from the outside of the flesh into his mouth through his tentacles and tasted it.

As expected, it was the same as what he [perceived] with his tentacles.

No spicy taste, just rich milky and sweet.

System speculated that the meatball should be a creature formed by mixing the bloodline of an insect with the bloodline of another life.

But the mix is ​​not complete.

As a result, under Shava's constant attacks, the fleshball's insect bloodline was separated from another bloodline, and finally this part of the insect flesh and blood core was left.

Although he had never been in contact with demons before, but combined with the image of the ice elf Neris and the description of the frost goblin giant, System speculated that the blood that made him restless and had a spicy taste should be the abyss Demon blood.

As for what kind of demon, System could not guess.

...

Wang, freeze these.

System, who was examining the meat with his tentacles, was interrupted by Shava's spiritual message.

Since she emerged from the chrysalis for the second time, Shava's wisdom has increased, and she has gradually become System's right-hand man. Most of the time, even if System doesn't say anything, Shava will know What is he going to do.

Shava, who learned of System's usual practice, gradually gathered the minced meat dropped by the meatballs during the battle into a pile and placed them not far from System.

System nodded.

These minced meat containing demon blood will make the spirit become violent and chaotic after eating, and even he will be affected to a certain extent.

System reckons that after his ant people eat, it will not produce good effects.

However, this kind of flesh and blood was not easy to come by, and System finally decided to bring it back. Even if his ant people couldn’t eat it, he could eat it and conduct research.

Melt the surrounding ice and snow with the mucus secreted by the glands, and then use the snow water to stir the minced meat with each other. connected.

...

After freezing the minced meat, System carefully observed Shava not far away.

The exoskeleton of Shava's body has many wounds that have not healed. Obviously, because of the previous battle, Shava also suffered a lot of injuries.

But System didn't feel any painful emotions from Shava, it seemed that these scars didn't make much of an impact on her.

System wanted to inquire about Shava’s injury, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

Now Shava is still very quiet, but if he cares too much, Shava might play the shameful King Knight game with him, or the tentacle binding game that embarrassed him.

If Shava, who had just rescued him, made a request now, System really couldn't find any reason to refuse.

Ang~

The long roar of the dragon resounded over the Liert Forest again, and through the gap between the forest trees, System once again saw the huge and beautiful dragon shadow in the distant sky.

If you showed up a little earlier, would it be over soon?

Looking at the giant frost dragon flying thousands of meters above the forest, System said secretly.

During the past six months, the frost giant Aura would appear over the Lierte Forest every other month or so.

According to the narration of the Frost Goblin Giant, Aura, the Glacier Lord, slept most of the time, usually every month or so, it would wake up and fly a few times around the Liert Mountains, and then continue Go back to sleep.

Although System did not have the ability to send a message to Aura, he had a unique method of calling the Glacier Lord—gazing into the Glacier Lord’s eyes.

As long as you look at the Lord of Glacier, more than 90% of the Lord of Glacier may appear in front of him, and then solve his troubles at will.

King, there is something.

Shava, who heard the sound of the dragon's roar, moved in front of System, she became very alert, and looked around, looking for the source of the dragon's roar.

When the Glacier Lord appeared last time a month and a half ago, Shava just fell into a coma because of accidentally eating the bait with [Paralyzing Toxin]. As for the previous appearance of the Glacier Lord, Shava was still sleeping in the chrysalis, and was only open to the outside world. unconscious perception.

So Shava actually felt the Lord of Glacier for the first time in a real sense.

However, with Shava's eyesight, she couldn't see the giant dragon flying through the clouds in the distant sky like System did. She could only hear the dragon's roar with the tentacles above her head, and feel the emanation from the dragon's body. A breath of pressure.

Don't be nervous, it's the master of the glacier, and it will go away in a while.

System sent a spiritual message to Shava, he ignored the giant dragon that was blowing in the sky, and continued to feel the core of the small meat ball with his tentacles.

This kind of life that has undergone the third pupation or the fourth molting is very strange, and brings a lot of ideas to System's future body modification.

Meatball has all kinds of weird and peculiar abilities, but the most special of them are the three kinds of [devour], [transformation] and [regeneration].

These three abilities, no matter which one they are, have extraordinary potential and are very valuable.

...

However, just as System kept thinking and fiddling with the pieces of meat with his tentacle's [sense] ability, System found that the frost giant dragon, which was supposed to fly away as usual, was hovering in the forest for a long time.

In the end, it gradually flew in his direction, and I don't know if it was a coincidence, or the target of the Glacier Lord was him.

King, it's a dragon!

As the Glacier Lord gradually approached, Shava finally found a huge figure in the sky.

But Shava, who should have been trembling, showed a strange emotion. She looked at the dragon shadow in the sky, instead of trembling like him, she had a strange and strange emotion.

Shava's emotions contained the firmness of wanting to protect him, but more of it was a strong sense of excitement.

King, is it the dragon the Dragon Knight rides?

System remembered the image about the dragon knight that he once passed to Shava...
