Law of the Swarm

Chapter 164 God of the Labyrinth
Because of killing several magical creatures from the abyss one after another these days, System has occupied a territory of about 200 meters around, which is basically a small piece of land plus a large bubbling swamp. There are some carnivorous plants in the swamp to the north. , there are many toads in the south.

System also learned to release the breath of magical life in his body to mark his territory.

However, after only trying for two or three days, System got tired of marking the territory.

After all, exuding breath is a territory mark, and he has to come every few hours, otherwise the breath will disappear.

Moreover, when the aura mark was emitted, System could not feel much effect, and only some abyssal beings who were forced to succumb to Shava's strength would appear.

So far, two snakes, three toads, and one lizard have voluntarily submitted to System.

Whenever System passed by these creatures, they would voluntarily lie on the ground and remain motionless, indicating that their lives were under the control of System and could be taken away at any time.

But these submissive abyssal creatures are of no use to System. When System's ant people return from the demiplane, in order to prevent these low-intelligence abyssal creatures from attacking the ants, System will still Kill all these submissive abyssal creatures.

However, marking the territory is still useful after all, it can effectively prevent some abyssal magical creatures from invading near his lair.

In the future, after his ant people return from the demiplane, the threat they will receive will be greatly reduced.

For this reason, System thought of a compromise method, that is, let the meat ball, which is also the magical life of the abyss, release the aura that marks the territory instead of him.

Because Meatball hates being alone, System made Ying and Meatball form a partner, and went outside regularly every day.

This not only solves the problem of marking the breath for the territory, but also satisfies the desire of the meat ball to fly outside, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

……

Slowly lower the tentacles emitting a green halo.

Using the power of druids [to give birth to plants], the nest of monster insects cultivated by System grew rapidly again, and the roots of flesh and blood quickly extended.

It seems that the environment of the abyss is very suitable for the growth of the devil's nest. After these few days, the flesh that was originally the size of a human fist has grown to a diameter of [-] centimeters, and countless fleshy roots have grown outwards.

System shook his head slightly, showing a somewhat displeased expression.

He felt the call again, and the one who summoned him was still an old acquaintance, still the lich with withered body.

Perhaps it was the goodbye he said at the end of meeting this lich for the first time. This time, it was the third time that System was harassed by that lich.

If System had known that such an outcome would happen, he would never have said any more nonsense to this Lich. Even if he had said nonsense, he would not have said goodbye, but farewell forever.

System didn't even respond this time, and directly hung up on the old Lich's harassment.

In the past few days, System has received more than a dozen calls from different planes.

System also asked Shadow and Meatball about what happened to him.

However, this situation did not happen to Shadow and Meatball at all. The predecessor of Meatball is still unknown, but Shadow has stayed in the abyss for so many years and has never been summoned once.

System didn't know why, these summons always found him inexplicably.

Somehow, System felt that it should be related to the real name he obtained in advance as a magical life.

It seems that among the abyssal creatures with real names, the cost of summoning him is relatively low, so when casting the abyss summoning, the probability of selecting him will be much higher.

Fortunately, the call that System felt was not mandatory, as long as he disagreed, he could immediately cut off the wave of the call.

There are roughly three types of summons System has received these days.

The first type is similar to ordinary mortals who sacrifice their lifespan, soul, body, or some other things. Their power is generally low, and when they summon him, they are also begging.

System also learned about many things that happened in the main world through communicating with these human or humanoid life forms.

Most of them wanted him to kill or harm others; some wanted to gain power for themselves; there was even a lunatic who wanted to take the initiative to become a slave of System and then fall into the embrace of the abyss.

Although he was very interested in having a dark elf as a slave, in order to prevent any problems, System still refused.

The second type of summoning is that the party that summons is stronger, most of them are extraordinary or legendary beings.

By promising something, they wanted to sign an equal or unequal contract with System, making System a combat partner or a servant of the other party.

For this kind of summoning or contract, System would naturally not agree to it, and he would not communicate with the other party. After encountering it, System would directly withdraw from the summoning and choose to refuse in a disguised form.

The third call is not so much a call, but more like a transaction.

These days, System only encountered the third summoning once, because the thing that summoned System for the third time was not an ordinary creature, but a sleeping god.

Of course, it is not clear whether the other party is the god System. In short, the other party is a god who claims to be the God of the Labyrinth.

This sleeping god seems to want to build a maze similar to the rpg games in the previous life, and wants System's ants to become monsters in the maze, while he becomes a small boss similar to the level boss.

Once you become a monster in the maze, you can no longer get out of the maze.

But in contrast, System and his ants will have eternal life in the maze. As long as the god of the maze does not fall, even if he is killed by an intruder in the maze, he will still be in the maze. Timed resurrection.

Some are similar to the monsters that are refreshed in the game.

Immortality is indeed a temptation that moves System very much.

But not to mention that he will be trapped in the maze for the rest of his life, and he has no way of knowing whether the information transmitted by the maze god is true or not.

Maybe this God of the Labyrinth is the same evil god as Rafal, the God of Plague and Curse.

And making a deal with the evil god is tantamount to suicidal.

System's [intuition] can't feel anything, as long as he encounters these high-end existences, it will lose its effectiveness, and he can't predict whether things are good or bad.

After some consideration, System did not think too much, and decisively rejected the god's deal.

……

Feeling the remaining druid power in his body, System once again used the power of [Growing Plants] on the Worm Nest.

However, after the last wave of summoning interrupted System, this time just after he used the power of [Growing Plants], System was once again interrupted by the vibration on the ground.

Following the appearance of Shadow and telling System about the situation on the ground, System also learned what the creatures that appeared on the ground were.

It was the giant slime that System wanted to look for these days, but couldn't find it.

Soon, System moved out of the lair, and saw a two-meter-tall giant slime friend in front of him.

However, contrary to System's expectations, the giant slime friend who was supposed to be friendly was not friendly. After receiving System's order, he did not obey System's order, but stopped still.

Ten seconds later, the huge slime suddenly jumped towards System.

The huge slime has not only become huge, it has its own mind...
