Laws of the Insect Hive

That lich offered System a lot of temptations, for example, after becoming his servant, he would gain powerful power and, like a lich, have an almost eternal lifespan.

But for these, System simply chose to ignore it, and then cut off the spiritual connection with the other party.

Although the conditions of the lich are good, if they become the servants of the other party, wouldn't they hand over their life and death to the other party's hands.

Perhaps the temptation of the lich could have an effect on other abyss creatures with low IQs, but it would not let System be fooled by it.

He rubbed his head again with his tentacles. Because of the lich's call, System's spirit became much tired again, and his mind even felt some pain.

After System decided to return to the ground, he immediately rested.

And just as System and Shava continued to carry the corpse of the black giant snake, the shadow and meat balls that went out to hunt finally appeared.

The meatball turned into a spider with a size of nearly three meters and thick legs. It used strong spider silk to drag a giant toad corpse nearly two meters high from the swamp.

The horny skin of the toad has many wounds. It seems that there was a fierce battle in his lifetime. The reason why the meatball and the shadow hunted for so long should be because they encountered this huge abyss toad.

With the help of a strong meat ball, the transportation of System's black giant snake corpse was also solved, and it didn't take long for the two corpses to be transported underground.

System also entered the half-sleep state unique to insects as he wished, and began to regain his energy...

...

...

Seven days passed.

Because of the existence of the excavator, System's abyss lair has been excavated to form a circular area with a diameter of twenty meters and a depth of thirty meters. There are large and small empty chambers and passages of different lengths.

System is also getting more and more satisfied with the excavator's underground lair construction.

However, unlike the smooth construction of the lair, the opening of the Key of Shadows was deviated.

His ant people still need to wait for a while before they can really come to the abyss.

In the main world, the charging time of the black gemstone ring is half a month, but at this level of the abyss, it takes one and a half months.

That is to say, System still needs to wait a month before his ant people come to the abyss from the half plane.

It's not that the black gem ring's recharge rate has slowed down.

According to Ola's explanation, because of the different planes, the energy required to open the half planes will also be different, so the black gemstone ring needs to store more energy, resulting in a significantly longer charging time.

System did not suspect that Aura was lying to him, not to mention that if Aura lied, he could use [Teleportation] to detect it. Aura, who was extremely obsessed with treasure, might be even more anxious than System.

If the ant people could return, Aura would have sent the ants to the abyss with gold coins and treasures.

...

After these seven days, System, under Yu Ying's research and investigation, basically deduced the reason why the abyss black snake surrendered.

Just like some carnivores in System's previous life "Animal World" used urine to divide their territories and declare the sovereignty of an area.

At this level of the abyss, the creatures of the abyss who have reached the magical level also have this habit.

Any abyss life that reaches the magical rank will take the initiative to occupy its own territory.

They exude a unique scent on the borders of their territories, warning other intruders not to set foot in the areas they rule.

The black giant snake that System had encountered before was the magical life that ruled the nearby 100-meter area.

Because System had just become an abyss life, he didn't know much about the aura of the abyss, so naturally he didn't find the warning aura emitted by the giant snake in the air.

So he was attacked and forced to kill the black giant snake.

As for the black snake that surrendered to System, it was originally the subordinate of the giant black snake, so after the giant snake was killed, the black snake naturally expressed his submission to him.

And the giant toad that Shadow and Meatball killed before is also a magical being with a territory of more than 100 meters.

Not only that, during these seven days, System and Shava killed a two-meter-long large lizard and another large purple-black snake one after another after exploring the surrounding environment.

They are also magical beings in the abyss.

It was after killing these abyss creatures with strong territorial awareness that System gradually discovered the territorial awareness of abyss creatures.

For the magical beings on the abyss level, they generally have a sense of territory, and Ying once came here for two months.

According to Shadow, this seems to be different from the twenty-sixth floor of the abyss, and the abyss creatures there do not divide the territory like this.

System understands this. After all, Shadow's stealth ability can not only make the body transparent, but also hide the aura on the body, and will not be attacked by creatures with territorial awareness.

Not to mention two months, even if you stay for a year, you will find clues here if you don't see it.

And those toads or some small snakes would choose to take the initiative to escape when they saw System, so it was logical.

At this level of the abyss, ordinary mortals have an innate fear of magical life, and seeing the toads and snakes that System took the initiative to escape is precisely because of this.

However, there are exceptions to everything. In this layer of the abyss, there are also some species that do not play cards according to common sense.

The large number of mosquitoes is one of them. These mosquitoes are not afraid of death. As long as the target appears within a few meters of them, they will swarm over.

The second is some carnivorous plants in the swamp. They form huge containers with sturdy plant walls. The container is filled with corrosive liquid and has movable vines to drag some creatures into their containers. , similar to some of the man-eating plants in System's past life horror movies.

These carnivorous plants attack anything that touches their vines.

And the last kind of life that doesn't play cards according to common sense is the same as the main world, the scavenger of nature, and the old friend Slime of System.

These slimes seldom appeared near the lair where System was located, and as for the huge house-like slimes that the Shadow mentioned, System had not seen them when they came to the abyss for a few days.

Only a few normal-sized slimes will appear in the area around System.

In this layer of the abyss, slimes seem to be born to stand on the opposite side of other abyss creatures. As long as slimes appear, they will be violently attacked by other creatures.

The few times System saw these slime friends, the slimes were being attacked by some lizards, snakes or large toads.

System did not hesitate, and rescued his old friend several times in a row.

I don't know if the taste of becoming abyssal creature has changed. System found that the slime in the abyss tastes better than the slime in the main world...
