Laws of the Insect Hive

The sudden scene made Johnny, the dwarf who is good at agility, and the legendary assassin turn pale at the same time.

Following the tree branches and bark fragments falling from the air, the dwarf and the legendary assassin with the silver hammer retreated more than ten meters at the same time.

The battle between the two also came to an end. The legendary assassin wearing a gray robe quickly fled, while the dwarf Johnny was a little overwhelmed and froze in place.

"Is this a warning to us?" Although the heroic spirit's body is a spiritual body, the dwarf still trembled unconsciously. He picked up a neatly cut sawdust on the ground and muttered: "If we continue to fight recklessly here , it will turn into this pile of crumbs?"

The dwarf looked at the floating island in the distance and the strangely shaped blue crystal tower.

At this moment, Johnny the dwarf recalled how he felt when he faced Aura, the Lord of Glaciers, hundreds of years ago.

If he loses his life because of this trip, what's the use of finding clues to Valhalla?

But no matter what, the dwarf can't leave from here now. He can at least wait for the rose flower demon Duoduo to return from the investigation of the floating island before leaving.

It is impossible for him to abandon the flower demon who came to the main plane with him and return to the winter wonderland alone.

Storm Hammer Johnny didn't know that just when he was very flustered, the guy who just "warned" him was also flustered, and even more flustered than him.

Because of using the ability of [Time Delay] to the maximum, it almost reached the time stoppage. At this time, Cathy, the golden-winged mantis, was basically overdrawn, but she still stubbornly carried a whole piece of cut wood towards the krypton gold Ferris. The direction of the building is flying—

She did it!

...

The matter goes back two days.

At that time, under the instruction of System, the Mantis sisters Cathy and Kainan carved a square object with a strange shape. According to System's description, they carved the wooden casing of a mechanical clock.

System wanted to make two identical mechanical clocks, one for the main hall of the floating island, and the other for the room on the top floor of the krypton-gold skyscraper.

The function of a mechanical clock is to keep track of time.

Cathy is very puzzled, because the [Data Template] has the function of recording time, and the time recorded by the [Data Template] is much more accurate than the time of a mechanical clock.

So Cathy didn't understand why System had to make the two of them laboriously carve the casing of this broken clock!

It's just something a fool would do!

Not only she, but even her sister Kainan thinks so - the one who came up with the idea of ​​making a mechanical clock is a stupid X who can't be more stupid!

However, Cathy and her sister did not dare to question System at all.

Even the two of them didn't dare to show even the slightest protest in front of System, they would happily accept any orders from System.

This is all because System, a perverted devil, has the ability to read emotions.

When the two of them stole food, they were discovered by System, a perverted devil, through sensing emotions. As a result, they were sentenced to three days not to eat meat, but only to eat leaves and grass.

Therefore, only when the Mantis sisters were alone, would they secretly curse at System. Sister Cathy wanted to cut off all of System's tentacles and wings so that System would not come to check. The fruits of their work had come to fruition; and the younger sister, Kenan, wanted to gag System's mouth so that System would not give orders to them.

However, none of this was possible. The sisters were too timid, not to mention daring to resist System, not even killing a small ant.

The current Mantis sisters miss the happy life they once had in the abyss, especially when they were managed by Beethoven in recent years.

At that time, Beethoven didn't care about the two of them at all, as well as those extraordinary beetles of the brain demon Babutar. As long as they passed by, those lovely beetles would bring them food even if they didn't eat themselves. too happy.

You don’t need to work, you can eat slaughtered meat and go to bed whenever you want.

But now since Beethoven handed over the Twelve Legion to System to help manage, everything has changed.

Cathy counted the time, she and her sister hadn't slept for more than three months - they hadn't slept since the abyss came to the main world.

This is all because the devil in System actually said that he should try not to sleep when it is not necessary, and he should work hard when he is working.

As a result, she and her sister will never be able to sleep.

...

And it was this time when he routinely cursed System in his heart, which distracted Mantis sister Cathy, and the casing of the second mechanical clock was wrongly carved.

Originally, in the drawing on the [Data Template], the hollow pattern should have three waves, but Cathy accidentally made four.

Because she was afraid to tell the devil System, Cathy decided to destroy the wrongly carved wood and make a new one.

But this unique red wood is extremely rare, the Mantis sisters are gone, and the Devil System asked them to carve them in their spare time within three days as much as possible.

In fact, Sister Mantis thought that it would be very beautiful to carve with another ebony wood, but this red wood was chosen by System himself, and Sister Mantis did not dare to consult with System.

So after some discussion, Mantis sister Cathy decided to go to the forest to find another tree of this red wood, while Mantis sister worked harder and completed the tasks of the two sisters alone.

Cathy's luck was very good. She found this rare wood in just five hours, but just when Cathy decided to harvest the wood, a dwarf heroic spirit and a human met near the wood.

Cathy used the ability of [Mimic Disguise], disguised as a branch of a plant, and quietly observed it from a distance of 100 meters.

A few minutes later, the dwarf hero smashed the human to death with a big hammer, and then used the hammer to open up the dead leaf soil and buried the human in it.

Cathy just waited quietly, she decided to wait for the dwarf heroic spirit to leave, and then go to collect the wood.

But unexpectedly, the dwarf dug a hole, got in, and kept staring at the tree (the soil in front) that Cathy wanted to cut down.

You must know that System gave them only three days, so as time passed, Cathy also became flustered.

Cathy left decisively and continued to search for other wood, but after searching for a day and a night, Cathy still found nothing. As a last resort, Cathy discussed with her sister through MZ, and finally returned to the cave of the dwarf heroic spirit and continued to wait.

However, the dwarf showed no sign of leaving at all. Even though the sky was dark, the dwarf heroic spirit still stared at the tree (the soil in front).

After that, when the day and night passed again, Mantis Cathy looked at how little time was left in [Data Template], while thinking about whether to summon the courage to fly over and ask the dwarf if he could give her the wood. .

Another human appeared.

The dwarf hero and the human fought again, and things went in the direction Kathy least wanted - the human hid behind the trees, and the dwarf raised his silver hammer...

don't want!

Because of the fear, Cathy felt that the blood in her body was boiling. At this moment, Cathy seemed to see System scolding her, and then punished her to eat blades of grass for a year.

The silver giant hammer was unable to fall for a long time. Unconsciously, Cathy maximized her abilities, and the whole world fell silent in an instant, only her own heartbeat was beating slowly.

Cathy canceled the state of [Mimic Disguise] and flew in front of the humans and dwarves and turned around, only to find that they didn't seem to see her.

It's not hard to guess what happened next. The courageous Cathy used it as the face of the dwarf heroic spirit and the human, cut the wood out on the spot, and then walked away...

...

...

The sky in Lilte Forest was already dark, and System, who was in the krypton-gold skyscraper, looked at the moon outside the window, thinking about whether to add a curtain to the window to block his sight.

And while System was thinking about it, Mantis Cathy and Kainan knocked on the door and entered his office. After putting down the wooden casings of the two clocks, the two mantises quickly escaped.

"Are you so afraid of me?"

System shook his head, looked at the things on the ground, and sighed helplessly.

Making a mechanical clock was just a whim of his own. Because of the lack of necessary metal ores and some necessary technologies, it would take at least a few months to actually make a mechanical clock...
