Laws of the Insect Hive

System's view of this chrysalis only stayed for a few hours before changing.

That night, when System took the time to use [Psychic Connection] to check the worm chrysalis, System felt an abnormal mental message.

To be precise, the tone of this spiritual message made System feel unusually familiar.

Where is this, how could I be trapped here? Forget it, so sleepy...

This unusually familiar and fluent mental message surprised System.

However, when System sent a spiritual message and tried to communicate with the other party, the spirit inside the chrysalis seemed to have fallen asleep again, and there was no reaction at all.

It was as if he was telling System that the spiritual message he had just felt was an illusion.

But the database in System [Tools menu] clearly recorded everything before, and just now he felt that the spiritual message sent by Chrysalis was true.

The power of the ice and the familiar tone made System unconsciously associate the butterfly chrysalis with the former Glacier Lord.

But it was obviously impossible. With such a powerful being turned into a butterfly, System obviously felt that it was not real enough.

Maybe this is just a butterfly with a high IQ like the worker ant Blake, but his spirit is slightly abnormal.

...

After System continuously connected with the butterfly chrysalis with [mental connection], System finally sensed the awakening of the chrysalis again at noon the next day.

After the chrysalis woke up, it once again expressed the feeling of doubt because it was trapped inside the chrysalis.

System sent a spiritual message to the chrysalis at the right time: Who are you?

Who am I? Chrysalis seemed to be thinking.

It seems that it can't remember who it is, and after thinking for a long time, it can't figure out who it is.

Soon the chrysalis gave up thinking about what it was, and instead sent a spiritual message to System: Great existence, can you let me get out of this dark space?

You want to get out of it?

System gently shook the chrysalis with his tentacles a few times. The liquid inside the chrysalis was only slightly viscous, and it was clear that there was still a long way to go before the chrysalis broke out.

If the chrysalis were torn open now and the juice inside the chrysalis was allowed to flow down, the chrysalis would undoubtedly die on the spot.

However, Sith waited for the chrysalis for a long time, and the chrysalis did not answer. It seemed that as he shook the chrysalis with his tentacles just now, the mind of the chrysalis fell into a deep sleep again.

...

...

Seven days passed, and System and his ant people successfully left the border of Lilte Forest and arrived at Warren Plain.

Although the frontier of Warren Plain is also covered with a layer of snow and black ash from volcanic eruptions.

But the moment System stepped out of the Liert Forest, System clearly felt the change in temperature. The temperature that had been in the minus thirty degrees just a moment ago had instantly risen to minus ten degrees.

Just less than a dozen meters away, the climate inside the forest and outside the forest has a very unscientific difference, and even the black ash falling on the ground is much less.

In the past seven days, after System communicated with the butterfly chrysalis two or three times in succession, there were more speculations about the relationship between the chrysalis and the Glacier Lord.

System speculated that the butterfly chrysalis should be attached to something like the remnant soul of the Glacier Lord, and this remnant soul lost its memory.

Sometimes he wakes up, sometimes he falls asleep, and when he is awake, he is not completely normal. He has obvious cognitive impairment to the surrounding, and is a bit silly.

Although Chrysalis didn’t remember anything, when System mentioned the words Lord of Glacier, Will of Winter, Aura, etc., Chrysalis would show dazed emotions and then express doubts.

And when System confirmed that this butterfly pupa might be something like the remnant soul of the Glacier Lord, he was very confused about how to deal with this pupa.

The best way is undoubtedly to put the butterfly pupa aside, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

But to be honest, although the culprit who turned into a tentacle monster was Aura, System had always had a good impression of Aura, Lord of Glaciers.

If he or Shava, who joined the Winter Legion, is threatened, if Aura finds out, he will definitely help him solve the problem.

Now that Ola is in trouble like this, and when he meets him, he should also help the other party.

After all, the frost energy attached to the chrysalis now, if the chrysalis is placed at will, it will undoubtedly make the place covered with frost, and it is easy for the gnoll to find clues.

He could bury the chrysalis deep underground, so that nothing strange would appear around the chrysalis.

But then, the moment the butterfly emerges from the chrysalis, it will suffer unexpected disasters, and even if it survives and crawls out of the soil, the wings that cannot be fully extended will make it deformed.

System finally turned the question directly to Chrysalis herself.

System informed the other party that it was a chrysalis butterfly, and passed the image of the butterfly breaking out of the chrysalis to the chrysalis, letting him choose what to do in the future.

Do you want to kill yourself by breaking out of the chrysalis immediately, or find a place to wait quietly for the chrysalis to emerge, or follow him along.

Obviously, Chrysalis, who is not low in intelligence, chose to follow the great existence of System.

System also decided to take this chrysalis until it bursts out, and when it turns into a butterfly, let it leave, wherever it flies.

...

Because of the Frost Slime's departure, and the food consumed by the ants during their journey, the food consumed by the ants has doubled. When System left the Lierte Forest with the ant team, System clearly felt their food. Not enough.

After all, with System's current conditions, it was impossible to make suitable tools to carry food.

He tried to use two smooth bark and some vines to make a simple sleigh puller more than ten days ago, but he only experimented a few times, and the sleigh puller that he spent a whole day making fell apart. .

Therefore, System could only let the ants use the most primitive transportation method, and let the ant people directly carry the food with their bodies.

The food consumption of the ants obviously exceeded System’s expectations, because System planned enough food to reach their destination and still have one-third left.

This is still System taking the initiative to share the work of carrying all the pupae. Queen Linda's pupae are nearly thirty centimeters in size, two soldier ant pupae that have pupated for the second time are ten centimeters in size, and there are other miscellaneous insects. pupa.

If it weren't for the fact that his size had grown to forty centimeters after he reached level 15, and that Shava helped him carry Queen Linda from time to time, it would have been difficult for his body to bear it.

Although the food is reduced, the speed of the ants will also increase, but it will take at least ten days to settle in the green grassland nearly 300 kilometers away.

The food carried by System’s ant people can only last for four or five days.

Is it only possible to dig snow and ice and eat some grass seeds or grass roots under the snow?

Ants are omnivorous insects. They can also survive by eating some grass when they are hungry. Although System has not eaten plants for a long time, it is obviously not a problem for him to eat some plants as a grasshopper. As for his son, Little Meatball , it can even eat the black ash falling from the volcano.

In fact, after discovering that the food might not be enough three days ago, System refused to give the little meatball any food, and only let it eat some dirt or freeze-dried grass blades under the snow.

Of course, System himself did the same, eating some freeze-dried grass plants with Little Meatball for three days.

However, if this continues, eating hay will undoubtedly reduce the mobility of System's ants, and it will undoubtedly take double the time to travel to the green grass 300 kilometers away.
