Laws of the Insect Hive

System fell into contemplation as he stared at the flames of the distant Liert Mountains...

It didn't take long for the volcano in the Liert Mountains to erupt with strong energy, like fireworks, illuminating the Liert Forest at night as if it were daytime.

However, after only a short while, the thicker black smoke blocked the white light, and the direction of the Liert Mountains only occasionally revealed some light.

Amidst the billowing black smoke, the volcano spewed unmelted magma around, and the scattered magma seemed to form a falling meteor shower, falling from the sky.

The energy from the eruption of the volcano was enormous, and these scattered magma fragments had strong kinetic energy. System even found a red magma fragment that flew down from more than a thousand kilometers away within a 100-meter radius around him.

System seemed to hear a few vague dragon roars from the Liert Mountain Range, but the black smoke from the volcanic eruption was so thick that he couldn't really see what happened in the Liert Mountain Range.

Ola, the lord of the glacier? It can completely stop all this with its power. What happened here?

System was full of doubts. He had no idea what was going on. Looking at the magma fragments that fell from time to time in the air nearby, System did not wait any longer, and decisively ordered his ant people to return to the underground nest. middle.

Although the underground lair is still at risk of another earthquake, the magma blocks that occasionally fall from the sky are undoubtedly a bigger threat.

...

After placing the ant people in the underground lair, System took a small meat ball and flew over the forest. He first observed the frost goblin giant village that also belonged to the Winter Legion.

However, after searching for a long time at an altitude of several hundred meters, System did not see the shadow of half a frost goblin giant.

Because of the strong earthquake, the fallen trees and the broken ground were already in a mess, and System could not find any traces through the snow surface of the forest.

Except for some butterfly larvae crawling on the moss of the nearby trees, System only found a squirrel above the branches, looking curiously at the fire and black smoke of the Liert Mountains.

Father, fire.

Compared to System's worries, Little Meatball's thoughts were much simpler. It still didn't understand what was going on, and only thought that System was following the agreement to take it outside to play and fly.

System ignored Little Meatball's words, watching the black smoke gradually pouring out from the Liert Mountains, System used the [Tools Menu] ability to calculate.

According to the current diffusion rate of the smoke, it is estimated that after 7 or 8 hours, the location of System will be enveloped by the smoke formed by the volcanic eruption.

He stretched out his tentacles, grabbed the small meat ball that was flying in the sky, and traversed in the air——

A few seconds later, a piece of flaming magma with a diameter of nearly one meter fell from System and the little meatball.

System's [intuition] was as precise as ever, successfully allowing him and Little Meatball to avoid a fatal crisis.

However, no matter how accurate his [intuition] was, it couldn’t change System’s current situation.

After continuing to patrol the air for a few laps, System and the little meatball returned to the nest. Now all he can do is take his ant people to hide in the nest. Everything has to wait for the volcanic eruption crisis. to continue to consider.

Although the aftershocks on the ground occurred occasionally, they were already extremely slight, and System and his ant people began to further repair the underground nest.

The entire nest was not severely damaged by the earthquake in the first two meters above the surface.

Under the half-meter-deep snow, the temperature is still about minus 20 degrees, and the loose and moist soil is frozen very hard, so the nest cavity closer to the surface is not much damaged.

However, at a depth of two meters, the temperature is not so low, and the loose soil is not very solid, so most of the empty rooms inside have collapsed, and some of the empty rooms for storing food are also buried by the soil.

What System needs to do now is to try to get the ant people to dig out the empty underground chamber, so that there is enough space for the ant people to rest.

As for the large number of empty rooms at the top two meters, although it is habitable, it is not safe to face the hot magma blocks falling from the sky.

...

However, when System was directing the ants to work, he suddenly felt an inexplicable dizziness, and he seemed to be extremely sleepy.

System found that Shava, who was beside him, had fallen to the ground at some point and fell into a coma.

However, except for Shava and him, the other ant people and the little meat ball in the ant nest did not appear dizzy.

Enduring the drowsiness that came from his brain, System handed over the next work to the most intelligent Black, and asked the ten worker ant knights to follow Black's command.

After that, System fell asleep...

...

...

When System woke up in the empty room, the time displayed in the [Tools Menu] had passed more than thirty hours, a full day and a half.

Except for the sound of the ant people, the entire nest seemed very quiet. The aftershocks from the volcanic eruption and the sound of the falling lava blocks from the sky seemed to have completely stopped.

System's tentacles smelled the unpleasant smell of gunpowder smoke. It seemed that after a day and a half, the black smoke from the volcanic eruption really came here.

I just don't know how much damage this black smoke will do to his ant people...

Extending his tentacles to check his body, System looked at Shava who was still sleeping beside him, thinking about the reason why he and Shava were unconscious.

These few days, System and Shava have not eaten any special food, nor have they performed any strange actions, and it is very strange that they are in a coma at the same time.

But soon System noticed something unusual, System looked at his chest, and at the same time at the exoskeleton on Shava's left shoulder.

Disappeared……

System murmured to himself, and at the same time turned on the self-information function in the [Tools Menu] to check.

...

Title: Xenogeneic Insect.

...

His title Legion of Winter has disappeared like the rhombus frost pattern on his chest.

It seems that he and Shava fell into a coma because they suddenly left the Winter Legion.

System used tentacles to conduct a simple check on the comatose Shava, and found that Shava would probably be in a coma for a day or two before waking up.

The reason why he was able to wake up so quickly was because the talent [Numerical Code] made his body semi-digital, and the disappearance of the title would not have much impact on him.

According to the character of the frost dragon Aura, he and Shava's title of Winter Legion will never be taken back at the same time.

Recalling the magma that suddenly burst out from the Lierte Mountains, and the faint sound of dragon roars at that time, System felt that Aura, the Glacier Lord, was either missing again as he did three hundred years ago, or he was dead. die.

Abyss Demon, Old Druid, Winter Legion, Erupting Volcano...

Recalling the uneasy feeling in the past few months, System realized that there must be something hidden in this forest, and he did not want to bring the ant people into it at all.

No matter how things turn out, it's not a wise move to stay in Liert now, he wants to leave here with the ant people.
