Law of the Swarm

Chapter 183 Busy System

However, the matter of obtaining the curse did not develop as System imagined, neither the first situation that System imagined nor the second situation he imagined happened.

Because the old Lich didn't harass him for the past ten days.

This made System, who was harassed on time every three days or so, feel a little unaccustomed.

But as time passed, System no longer had the initial urgency about whether the old lich came to harass him.

Recently, his affairs have increased again, and System has gradually put aside the affairs of the old lich, and he didn't even pay much attention to the follow-up writing of the script of the old lich.

These few days, System was still trying to strengthen [Dragon Scale Spike] to level 21 Transcendence, but there was still no obvious progress, and a lot of his experience points were wasted.

System estimated that he would have to go to Rafal's temple to get some dragon bone marrow, or find a way to eat and digest some dragon bones in order to raise this ability to extraordinary.

……

And in these two days, many things came together one after another, and System couldn't find time to continue improving his strength.

Just yesterday, the third pupated ant finally appeared.

But it's not Shava, and it's not an excavator, but Xiaoqiang, a soldier ant knight with a strong physique.

System has never paid too much attention to Xiaoqiang, the soldier ant knight.

I just know that besides eating, working and resting, this child lives basically three points and one line, and never takes the initiative to communicate with him. If it is not because of the second pupation that the body is much larger than ordinary soldier ant knights, it will not be at all. If he caught System's attention, he would not have the name Xiaoqiang.

But since System got the giant slime with magical rank in the abyss, the soldier ant knight Xiaoqiang seems to be a late bloomer, and the upper limit of [chrysalis] talent level has been quickly raised from level 14 to level 17, and his body shape has also become more for huge.

Now it has surpassed Shava and the excavator, and entered the third pupation first.

Before the third pupation, Xiaoqiang had grown to nearly 1.5 meters, and after eating frantically before pupation, Xiaoqiang even condensed into a giant pupa close to two meters.

System speculates that Xiaoqiang will grow in size after becoming a magical creature, but System does not know exactly how Xiaoqiang will grow.

During Xiaoqiang's third pupation process, System watched the whole process from the sidelines. There were no mistakes in the three-hour pupation process, and it was a perfect success.

And after learning that he saw Xiaoqiang's pupation, System also knew that Shava's pupation is not far away, and it is very likely that just like Xiaoqiang, the [Pupation] talent suddenly broke through the upper limit and entered the third pupa change.

System also knew that he would be more tense in the time ahead.

……

The things that System has been busy these days are not just about the three pupation of the ant people.

After these days, the female and male ants produced by the queen ant that System caught from the Warren Plain finally changed from larvae to pupae, and then from pupae to female and male ants with wings. ant.

The nutrient-rich slime jelly was provided by System, and the process took less than a month.

System used the tentacles' [perception] ability to compare winged female ants with ordinary ants, and obtained the [wing generation] ability that allows ordinary ants to gain wings as he wished.

During these days, System will grant [Wing Generation] to Queen Linda and some ordinary ants.

Although no ant has been successfully endowed with this [Wing Generation] ability yet, System knows that it will only be a matter of time before the ants get the [Wing Generation] ability.

But compared to the smoothness of [Wing Regeneration] ability.

System's plan to breed a new queen was not going well.

These female ant eggs, System, can easily be brainwashed, but the hatched female ants have fatal drawbacks.

Perhaps because they were born in the abyss, and their talents were too poor, the IQ of these newborn female ants was too low, much worse than the mentally handicapped ants produced by Linda in the abyss.

Most of the time, he couldn't even understand System's orders.

System finally decided to take these female ants and male ants with low IQs to the demiplane temple, where they would breed some queens with higher IQs.

At least these queen ants must be able to understand his orders.

Otherwise, the ants produced by the queen Linda are fine, and the ants produced by these queens will undoubtedly enter the endless battle.

After all, the habits of ants are like this. There will only be one queen in a general ant nest, and even the offspring produced by two queens of the same species will kill each other.

If forced to feed, these ants will undoubtedly attack each other all day long.

……

In addition to these things, in a few days, the first batch of ants produced by the queen ant Linda in the abyss will also be about to complete the second pupation and break out of the pupae.

The ants in the abyss are not only stronger, but also slightly higher than the 5:5 ratio of ants in the main world, reaching 7:3. Basically, 10 out of every 7 ants can complete the second pupation. secondary pupation.

As for whether cultivating ants in these abysses is really worth cultivating, and whether the IQ can pass, System can also make a choice after a few days.

After dealing with these things simply, System found the snail Jess he was imprisoned, and at the same time went to the palace in the center of the underground floating island.

System began the final rehearsal for the arrival of the lizardmen.

Because Shava is about to enter the third pupation, System decided to settle the matter of the lizardman before Shava's pupation.

As for the unstable factor of Jess the snail, no matter whether the deception of the lizardman is successful or not, System intends to get rid of him.

The snail seems to be very obedient to him, but System's [intuition] always feels that there is something wrong with the snail.

In addition, Shava was about to enter pupation recently, and his self-protection ability was greatly reduced, so System decisively decided to get rid of this snail.

And the snail obviously didn't know System's decision at this time, he was praising System with a flattering face, and at the same time cursing the vulgarity and incompetence of the Lizardman...

……

……

While System was rehearsing for the lizardmen, the lizardman patriarch Thunder Claw a few kilometers away was also nervous, and discussed with several lizardmen the precautions for meeting the "death agent".

On this layer of the abyss, the names of the lizard people are generally simple and straightforward, basically they are organs with abilities plus words, such as fire teeth and iron lungs.

However, the vast majority of lizardmen have no names, because the combination of abilities and organs will undoubtedly lead to a high chance of duplication of names.

The lizardmen are very against duplicate names. Whenever there is a duplicate name, the two lizardmen with the same name will fight each other until one of them dies or agrees to change the name.

So generally speaking, lizards will only name themselves when they reach the magical level.

Lizardmen with such customs obviously don't have a high IQ.

The patriarch of the lizard people, Thunder Claw, just discussed with a few lizard people for a while, but the discussion went astray, and it became a sacrifice of his heart for Lord "Death Agent".

So the lizardmen in the tribe unanimously decided to kill the thinnest lizardman in the tribe, and took out the heart from the lizardman...
