Laws of the Insect Hive

Chapter 161 The food chain of the abyss

System stretched out his tentacles and continued to use the power of 【Sensing】 on the Mosquito Beast.

It's a pity that after feeling it for a while, System didn't realize that the bloodline of the mosquito in the abyss was different from the mosquito in the main world.

And like the mosquito in the main world, although this big mosquito couldn't be influenced by System's lies, it was successfully reacted by the aphrodisiac tentacles, and the angry and crazy emotions became strange.

It seems that the mosquitoes in the abyss, like the mosquitoes in the main world, are reproduced by mating, not the life that relies on the devil's nest for asexual reproduction like the insect demon.

Turning his head to look to the side, System quickly discovered that there were two or three corpses of similar mosquitoes and beasts under Shava who was practicing chopping beside him.

It seems that the level of the abyss is different from the main world, and the number of mosquitoes and beasts does not seem to be many.

I don't know if it's because the mosquitoes here are too dense, so the insects that pupate frequently appear, or because the abyss itself is easy for insects to be born.

Since there are a lot of mosquitoes and insects in the abyss, System has no plans to leave this insect to study.

Using his tentacles to break the Mosquito Beast's head, System quickly put the Mosquito Beast's corpse in his mouth and chewed it...

It tastes similar to the mosquitoes in the main world. The exoskeleton of mosquitoes tastes like chocolate, and the meat of mosquitoes tastes like milk. It tastes like chocolate cake, which is not bad.

But at this moment, System keenly discovered something was wrong, and then took out a mass of flesh with fleshy roots from the bag on his body.

It was the Demon Insect Nest that was collected in the Warren Plains, and System quickly broke off a small piece and put it into his mouth to taste.

"Sure enough, my sense of taste changed after I became an abyss life."

The flesh and blood roots, which used to be sweet and spicy, had a strange taste, System no longer felt spicy, only the taste of milk.

System knew that the change in taste was just an appearance, and the real change was the change in the experience points he ingested.

Today, the same weight of flesh and blood roots can provide 1.5 times the experience of System in the Overworld.

It seems that after he transformed into an abyss creature, what he can digest has also changed.

"I wonder how that blue-fired skeleton warhorse will taste now..."

System's mouth made a sound involuntarily. He didn't know what was going on. System once again thought of the skeleton warhorse that had disappointed him greatly, and thought of trying it again.***** **Tem shook his head quickly, stopped his wild thoughts, and at the same time sent a spiritual message to Shava, who was tilting his head and showing a strange look, and asked Shava to accompany him to explore the surroundings.

Because it is always in a smoky environment, System's powerful vision cannot be used. Although [System's Eye] has a certain ability to see through, it can only see through a few centimeters of soil, just like a previous life. Like X-rays, there is no limitless perspective.

Under such a thick purple smoke, System could only see the things around 50 meters clearly, and it would become more and more blurred if it was further away.

System found that the density of creatures on this level of the abyss was much greater than that of Lilte Forest in summer, and at a glance, there were countless mosquitoes in the surrounding sky.

Mosquitoes that are closer to him will attack him and want to draw blood from him, but mosquitoes that are farther away from him will use the straw on their head to swing back and forth in the air in addition to mating with the opposite sex. Inhale the moist mist in the air.

Apparently these lavender mists are the key to how these mosquitoes have thrived in this world.

In the vicinity of the quagmire more than ten meters away, System saw a large number of purple-black toads. There was only one type of these toads, but they were large and small.

The large toads are nearly half a meter tall, while the small ones are only a few centimeters in size.

Perhaps in order to cope with the large number of fierce and unusual mosquitoes in this world, these purple-black toads have evolved a layer of wrinkled and very hard horny on the surface of their bodies, and it is difficult for mosquitoes to pierce them.

...

System casually tore off the hind leg of a toad pierced by [Dragon Scale Spike] and put it into his mouth to chew.

Compared with mosquitoes, although these toads are in the upper layer of the food chain, they are much more timid than mosquitoes.

After seeing the toads captured by System let out a tragic cry of death, the other toads either jumped away immediately, or jumped into the mud and disappeared without a trace.

Soon, the ten-meter toads near System fled one after another, and even the half-meter-high giant toad also fled.

It seems that these abyss toads should have a higher IQ than mosquitoes. When encountering unknown and mysterious creatures, they at least know how to choose to escape, rather than fight to the end with each other.

Throwing the half-eaten toad aside, System moved to the swamp where purple bubbles appeared.

These swamps with purple miasma seem to be scalding hot, but the temperature is the same as the surrounding environment. Apart from the first plants resembling water plants that grow on the swamps, System also feels a large number of plants in the swamp, and extremely weak emotion.

The microbes and germs in this swamp seem to be extremely numerous, and the density is even similar to the plague culture fluid of the rat-man wizard Lance.

In addition to these germs, there are countless larvae in the swamp, that is, the larvae of mosquitoes. Many larvae will break out of the pupa in the swamp every moment. After waiting for ten minutes for the wings to harden, they will spread their wings and then fly into the sky.

It's no coincidence that mosquitoes have grown to such a size here, feeding on germs and microbes in the sloughs and then ingesting the toxic purple haze in the air.

...

But just as System observed for a while and was about to leave the swamp and return to the ground, System's [intuition] suddenly sent out a faint feeling.

The joints of System's limbs and tentacles quickly charged and released, and his body instantly moved laterally and jumped several meters away.

puff! !

A giant black snake with the thickness of a human thigh and a length of nearly ten meters suddenly emerged from the ground and opened its bloody mouth towards the position where System had been at the previous moment...

But unfortunately, because of the black giant snake's attack, System had already dodged ahead of time and climbed on top of an unknown strange plant not far away because of [intuition].

Obviously, as an abyss, the level of danger here is much higher than that of the Liert Liert Forest.

The scales on the black giant snake's body are crystal clear. Even if it is drilled from the ground, it is not stuck with soil. It looks very beautiful, but the beautiful body and the vicious snake head still look a bit hideous.

The giant snake seemed to recognize him. Although System had avoided the first attack of the giant snake, the giant snake quickly turned around and continued to charge towards System.

It is a pity that this time, there is already a figure blocking the path of the giant snake in advance.

boom! !

With the strong crashing sound, the giant snake was thrown a few meters away, and several blood-stained snake scales were scattered around...

"King, as long as I'm here, you don't have to worry."

Shava faced System, and finally said again the classic lines that she liked very much, but hadn't had a chance to say for a long time.
