Laws of the Insect Hive

System entered the fourth pupation, which could be said to be much better than the previous molting and pupation.

Although the place where he pupated was a seemingly dangerous abyss, it was undoubtedly countless times safer before this time.

In his memory, during the first and second molting, he hid under a dead leaf. At that time, his biggest enemies were the rain and strong wind. He was worried that the strong wind would blow away the dead leaf during the molting process, exposing him to danger. middle.

Thinking back on those times now, System seemed to have an unreal feeling.

The place of his third degeneration was underground, because of the fishy smell that attracted a mouse, Shava rescued him at that time, and he has since then proclaimed himself king.

After the eruption of the Liert Mountains volcano, he took the ants and migrated to the Warren Plain. Under the threat of the Rat Man and Druid, he transformed [molting growth] into [pupation], and completed the first step in fear. Three pupation.

After the third pupation, he finally escaped into the abyss after experiencing undead and worm demons.

Today, he has tens of thousands of ants that have pupated twice, including 20,000 flying ants, and has 7,000 ant knights.

There have been more than 20 ants who have completed three pupation and have been promoted to the magical rank, and more than 300 ants who are undergoing the third pupation have appeared in the past half year, and this number is still going on. rise.

In addition, he has thousands of lizardmen at his disposal, and even has a legendary beetle to act as a thug.

After more than half a year, the Beetle was less afraid of him than Thor, but still very obedient.

System also trusted this Beetle a lot, and the main reason for the trust was that System found that the Beetle had no ambitions and was not so irritable as Thor.

As long as he is not as provocative as the little butterfly Aura, Bitol is generally not angry, and is a very obedient and docile beetle.

...

After preparing everything, System finally handed over the crystal pendant hanging around his neck to Blake for safekeeping, and entered the underground floating island. He specially prepared the pupation room and started his fourth pupation.

Compared to the difficulty of the third pupation.

From the magical progression to the extraordinary fourth pupation, System felt very relaxed.

The originally normal body was catalyzed by System's special means of agitating the blood vessels, and his body's exoskeleton and flesh instantly became itchy, entering the pre-pupa state.

Yes, after continuous research, System has now been able to change the [Pupation], which could only be passively activated, into one that can be activated actively.

System very easily spit out a special liquid that could melt the body's carapace from the glands in his throat, and the dozens of tentacles on his body quickly retracted into his body. After only a few minutes, System smelt. It turned into a black worm pupae.

The impression of the whirling feeling appeared quickly.

System once again felt his body turn into a sticky liquid, and then kept spinning and stirring in the chrysalis.

In fact, other than System, other ants, butterflies, and mosquitoes, whether they pupate for the second time or the third time, will not appear to him, the mucus inside the chrysalis is churning back and forth.

It wasn't for baking cakes, and System didn't know why he had to stir the slime he turned into like this.

Could it be that the mucus that his body was turned into was whisked away like an egg beater?

System didn't know if it was because of being a grasshopper, or if he was special enough.

Just like that, System was like drunk again, his consciousness gradually blurred, and finally he passed out...

...

In System's memory, he had a dream of his third pupation. In the dream, his countless grasshopper ancestors appeared, telling him to live and let him cherish his life and inherit his descendants.

After all, since the birth of insects, although there is no historical record, they have also continued to the present, and the bloodline will pass on something to him and give him some guidance.

System had thought that his pupation would have a similar dream this time, but nothing happened this time.

He woke up quite normally.

System speculated that it might be because his pupation was not related to his life crisis like the last time, so his bloodline did not remind him.

System felt as if he had a very refreshing sleep, and woke up refreshed.

It was only two days after watching the [Tools Menu]. He also used the power of [Teleportation] to feel the condition of the underground floating island, and briefly exchanged a few words with Blake and Shava.

Transforming into a chrysalis closed his five senses, but did not block his spiritual power. During the pupation process, System could even use the power of [spiritual connection] to share the senses of other ants.

But before he could say a few words to Shava, the familiar bloodline fluctuations came again, and System also felt the rhythm in the insect's bloodline again, letting him choose one of his own abilities to strengthen.

Not only that, because of the improvement in life level and his talent [Perception], System's feeling for this rhythm was clearer than before.

In the rhythm of this bloodline, System heard an inaudible humming sound, which seemed to be the voice of the world. The sound was very hazy, but System could roughly understand the meaning of this sound, evolution.

-Choose it.

Strengthen [Numeric Code]!

System still did not hesitate and chose to strengthen the ability that he had since he was born in this world.

This time, System entered the digital sea of ​​his own accord without waiting for the strengthening of the power in his blood to guide him.

Since he built the Kryptonite Tower, the lizardmen and snake people have a belief in [Data Template].

In the digital sea of ​​[Numerical Code], System can enter and exit freely.

However, after more than half a year, it seemed that some key catalyst was missing. Although System felt that something was injected into the digital sea, his [Numerical Code] talent did not change much.

But under the power enhanced by the [Pupation] talent, System felt that all these injected powers seemed to be stimulated.

System had a hunch that the reinforcement of [Numerical Code] this time would be his strongest reinforcement to date.

However, System, who was in the sea of ​​numbers, found that with the strengthening power, the entire sea of ​​numbers was surprisingly calm.

The sea of ​​numbers that used to be like a current, often rippling, turned into a pool of stagnant water this time, and the numbers in the water only swayed slightly.

The calm before the storm.

Soon, System found a slight tremor in the outer space of the Digital Sea, and all the numbers in the entire Digital Sea trembled at the same time...
