Law of the Swarm

Chapter 160 Abyss Beast
System shook his head, feeling everything that just happened.

Just now he inexplicably felt a kind of power that called him. Just after he had doubts in his heart, his consciousness seemed to have crossed the long darkness, and then appeared in the spiritual world of a human being.

In this spiritual world, System was surprisingly able to understand the other party's language, and was able to see the appearance of that human being in reality.

The other party seems to want to give him all his life, and then let him kill a human named Johnny.

This kind of scene is very similar to the deal between humans and devils in the novels in System's previous life.

The little fat man still has 74 years of lifespan, but the loss of sacrifice is relatively large, and the lifespan that System can receive is only half of it, which is 37 years.

To be honest, System was still very interested in harvesting lifespans and then eating them. He really wanted to taste what lifespans tasted like.

System was also very curious, whether eating lifespan would increase his lifespan in a disguised form, or would it appear in his body as experience points.

But after all, System is different from the abyssal demon whose mind is full of chaos and desire.

System got rid of his inner desire in an instant, he finally left the main world, away from those messy things, naturally it is impossible to go to the main world to die.

Furthermore, to go to the main world, he would have to consume a lot of physical energy. In addition, beings from the abyss would be repelled and suppressed to a certain extent when they entered the main world. It was even more impossible for System to go to the main world to ask for trouble.

But finally, a wise human being appeared to communicate, so it was naturally impossible for System to leave just like that.

Facing the human's request, System did not immediately refuse, but used the human to ask many questions.

For example, the country of the other party, the race in the country, the purchasing power of gold coins, the history of the country, and some legends. System also heard a short story about "The Beggar Hero King", which is very interesting...

At the end of the question, System also asked about Lierte Forest and Warren Plain, but this human obviously had never heard of those two locations.

……

Rubbing his somewhat swollen head with his tentacles, it took System a lot of energy to communicate with humans in the main world across the abyss plane.

System even wanted to stop and sleep for a while.

If it wasn't for the serious exhaustion of energy, he might have asked the human being some more questions.

After all, System doesn't know how many such opportunities to understand the outside world will exist in the future.

Recalling the appearance of that human being who was gradually aging due to losing half of his lifespan when he finally left, System shook his head and decided not to think too much about it.

Open the [Tools Menu], because half an hour has passed since the communication time with that human.

System did not watch the excavator still digging underground, and quickly came to the ground from the underground cave several meters deep.

According to Ying's previous description, there is no day and night in this abyss, because of the lavender smog in the air, it has always been in a gloomy scene.

Just like what Ying described, System quickly appeared on the foggy ground, and at the same time saw a familiar figure not far away.

Shava, who usually guards near him, obviously did not leave. A few meters away from the underground hole, Shava was waving her leg blades in the air, chopping the small mosquitoes that flew by from time to time.

The mosquitoes in the abyss were similar to the mosquitoes that System saw in Lierte Forest and Warren Plain. They were all about half a centimeter in size, and their flying speed was not very fast.

However, the mosquitoes in the abyss are a little different, much fiercer than the mosquitoes in the forest, even though they are only at the bottom of the food chain, they still possess unusual courage.

If System could describe these mosquitoes, they would be bees.

These mosquitoes are like bees, not afraid of their own death. The spikes on their mouths seem to be stronger than the mosquitoes in the main world. They use the spikes as weapons to attack Shava.

While System was watching Shava practicing sword skills, System suddenly felt his tentacles itching slightly.

It turned out that while he was in a daze, several mosquitoes secretly landed on the tentacles and sucked his blood.

[Tentacle-leg Transformation] Launch!

System's originally soft tentacles were quickly covered with a hard carapace. Although the straws of the abyss mosquitoes were strong, they were only comparable to the mosquitoes in the main world.

Mosquitoes at the bottom of the food chain naturally couldn't pierce the carapace on System's body, and the subsequent attacks all failed.

But at this moment, System's tentacles suddenly felt a burst of crackling noise.

After a few breaths, a large mosquito nearly thirty centimeters in length with a withered yellow body suddenly jumped out of the mist in the distance, apparently choosing him as the target of attack.

Obviously, this is a mosquito beast born in the abyss, and System can easily detect the other party's simple data with [Detection Analysis].

……

Species: Mosquito Beast (renameable)

Length: 0.31 meters

Weight: 25—150g
Estimated combat power: 0.3-1.5
special:-
……

Although the flying of the mosquitoes and insects produced a lot of movement, the speed of the flight was not particularly fast, and System stopped Shava who was about to make a move.

Using his tentacles to exert force suddenly, System's tentacles made a strong sound of breaking through the air like a whip.

The big mosquito rushing towards System was quickly captured by System.

Feeling the struggle of the big mosquito in the tentacles and the crazy emotions, System sent a spiritual message to the other party in doubt.

"I'm the same as you.", "My blood is poisonous.", "Your straw is broken."

System once again carried out his lie, but this second-pupated worm seemed to understand nothing.

No matter what kind of spiritual message System sent, Mosquito Beast's anger remained unchanged, it just wanted to break free from System's tentacles.

System discovered that the intelligence of this second-pupated mosquito may not be comparable to the ordinary small mosquitoes in the Lierte forest.

At least those little mosquitoes would have some reactions after hearing System's lies.

System quickly started to catch a few small mosquitoes flying in the air, and then conducted a simple intelligence test on these abyssal mosquitoes.

And the result of the intelligence test is also similar to System's expectation. These little mosquitoes in the abyss are in the same line as the mosquitoes and beasts, have the same low IQ, and are more crazy than the mosquitoes in the main world. aggressiveness.

"Could it be that all the bugs in the abyss are like this, with low IQ?"

System recalled Ying's previous communication. According to Ying, her master's companions were all about the same IQ as Meatball.

And those companions of Ying are basically magical beings who have undergone three times of pupation or four times of molt.

"Could it be that the wisdom gained by the worm after the second pupation in the main world is higher than that of the worm that has completed the third pupation in the abyss?"

"Why exactly?"
