Laws of the Insect Hive

The broken golem is like a humanoid soldier in armor. Although it is now rusted and missing a head, half an arm and a whole leg, it is not difficult to see the mighty appearance of the past.

It seems that it has been buried for too long, and most of the metal on the golem is rotten. As long as System's tentacles are touched with a little force, the golem's limbs will shatter, and some translucent particles will fall out. crushed particles.

I don’t know what material these particles are made of. System can taste it. For him, these scattered particles are like salt, and the experience provided is not bad.

It was a pity that these particles were too scattered, and System could not collect and carry them at all.

The episode of finding the golem passed quickly. System and Shadow kept moving through the cracks in the ruins. After changing directions several times, they walked for about two kilometers, and finally found the portal that Shadow said.

In fact, it is a portal, but in fact, the portal is not in the shape of a door, but more like a round stone manhole cover with complex and unknown patterns carved on it, with a diameter of about two meters.

According to the shadow, whether it is the twenty-sixth floor of the abyss, or the location of the unknown floor of the abyss, there are exactly the same portals.

As long as you wait two months, stand on the portal and use the power to activate, you can teleport.

The power that the portal needs to activate is very special, and none of the powers in System’s body can be activated.

Only Shadow can cast a special power on the teleporters, causing the portal to emit a faint blue light.

It is estimated that this is the case, this portal has been separated for so long, and it has not been discovered and collected.

After Ying's induction, the portal has been charged by nearly one-third, and there are about 40 days before it can be teleported again.

System tried to move the stone disc with his tentacles, but found that the stone was extremely heavy, and it was almost impossible to bring this disc back to the nest.

The stone disc is two meters in diameter, which is not very large. With this two-meter-diameter portal, it is obviously difficult to teleport all his ant people away.

But System thought of a solution yesterday, and that was to use the black gemstone ring to connect to the Shadow Key of the Shadow Temple.

The black gemstone ring can be activated once in half a month, and there are two ways to activate it.

One is that the user of the ring is teleported to the demiplane together with the ring; the other is that the user of the ring uses the power of the ring to teleport other things to the demiplane.

What System wanted was the second method of using the ring. Using the Half-Plane Shadow Temple as a transit station could not only solve the problem that the portal could not transmit too many ant people, but also greatly shorten the migration time. As long as a few members carry the ring forward together.

System had already planned the six members for the migration last night.

Aura, who had to stay outside to activate the ring, Shava and Meatball the strongest, the excavator who was in charge of digging, and him and the shadow who was in charge of opening the portal.

And just after System made these decisions, the blood in his body trembled inexplicably, and then returned to calm.

The sense of unease that appeared more than ten days ago disappeared. It seems that because of his migration, the disaster that is about to happen on Warren Plains is unlikely to affect him.

The feeling from [intuition] also made System more determined to leave here.

...

System found nothing unusual about the ruins and decided to return quickly, but on the way back, System found a death knight again, and it was a death knight who was fighting an insect demon.

Because the fire was very conspicuous at night, System could easily spot the battle more than ten kilometers away.

The strength of the death knight that System saw this time was obviously much weaker than the one he encountered last time, and the skeleton warhorse summoned was not the kind of blue fire, just an ordinary skeleton warhorse.

On the other hand, the Death Knight's opponent, the Insect Demon, was nearly three meters tall. In addition to spewing flames from time to time, the Insect Demon's hands would also spray some sticky and tough silk threads. Obviously, this Insect Demon was formed by the transformation of the spider demon.

It was this thread that made the death knight's attack more and more sluggish, and gradually fell into a disadvantageous situation.

It didn't take long for the death knight's movements to become more inconvenient as the number of threads increased. The giant worm gave up the long-range attack and rushed forward. The strong physique made the worm tear off the death knight's two arms instantly. and threw the two arms aside.

After that, the worm demon began to use its sharp claws to torture the immobile death knight.

Discovering that System was watching the battle between the demon and the death knight with great interest, Shadow passed a spiritual message and said, "Most demons are like this. They can kill each other immediately, but they have to undergo senseless torture."

"Maybe they'll be happy when they're tortured."

System replied, and flew to the side, just now the insect demon threw the arm of the death knight, and one of them was nearby.

It has to be said that the giant worm demon is so powerful that it can throw the death knight's arm nearly two kilometers away.

System, who flew down, quickly peeled off the black armor on his arms, revealing his hairy arms.

Judging from the appearance of this arm, it should be the arm of a gnoll.

"Could it be that undead casters transformed gnoll warriors into death knights? Or are these death knights themselves gnolls?"

System murmured, and he felt more and more confused about what happened in Warren Plains.

System shook his head quickly, he had already decided to leave the right and wrong place of Warren Plain, and it was pointless to think about these things.

Continuing to look at the arm of the death knight, unlike the arm of the gnoll zombie, the flesh on the arm of the death knight appears firmer, and has the elasticity like ordinary flesh.

Using the tentacles on the top of his head to sniff the arm of the death knight, System wanted to throw the arm away, but he still put the arm in his mouth and took a bite.

As System expected, after biting off a small piece of flesh and blood on his arm, System resolutely vomited it out. The flesh of the death knight was as foul-smelling as the blue-fired skeleton warhorse, and System was simply unable to do so. Bear.

In addition to the flesh of the death knight, System also gained another gain, which was a black ring on the death knight's finger.

If System had expected it well, this black ring should also be a magic item.

However, System thought about this ring for a while, and then threw it out. The previous golden acorn attracted the Druid, and this ring might also attract something.

System really didn't want to cause any trouble when he left.

...

After leaving the place where the Insect Demon and the Death Knight fought, System and Shadow continued to fly to the lair without any abnormality.

After a day and a half, System and Shadow successfully explored the portal in the ruins and returned.

All that's left is to gather food and wait quietly for the forty days.

Before leaving, however, System still had one important thing to settle.

That is Aura the Butterfly. Although Aura the Butterfly controls the key to the shadow, it is difficult to determine whether Aura is willing to help System. After all, this butterfly is too lazy.

System had to find a way to convince Aura, and if the persuasion failed, System had to take advantage of Aura's character weakness and dig a few holes for Aura to jump in on his own initiative, so as to achieve his goal...
