Law of the Swarm

Chapter 227 Brain Demon Insect Babutar
From this extraordinary black beetle, System not only felt the oppressive aura, but also felt another special aura.

This special aura made System's [Shadow Incarnation] want to move over and gather beside this giant beetle.

"So that's the case. It seems that it's not that the effect of [Insect Swarm Gathering] has disappeared, but that all the nearby insects are attracted by this beetle with a higher rank."

Because of the interference of the main consciousness, System [Shadow Incarnation]'s consciousness gradually became clear.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, System did not intend to communicate with this Transcendent worm beast, but only used the ability of [Detection Analysis] to observe this worm beast.

The combat power of this worm beast is 600-1100, and it is estimated that its strength is not particularly strong in the extraordinary rank.

Following the beetle's flight for a while, System slowed down his speed, and was gradually left behind by the flying bugs in the sky.

System, who slowed down, began to communicate with the bugs around him with the ability of [Teleportation].

He found that these bugs were angry and excited, very much wanting to tear things in the distance.

Although there will be a certain response to System's spiritual message, the response is very weak, and basically they will not pay attention to his spiritual message.

System tested three beetles, two flies, and one bee-like insect in a row, and the results were all similar.

System also tested some creatures crawling on the ground, but found little effect.

He also found some worms with extremely low intelligence, similar to earthworms, and they also began to wriggle slowly in the direction of the worms.

……

Too much time was delayed because of the test conducted by System.

Half an hour later, when System arrived at the destination in the direction guided by the call, the battle of the bugs was over...

On the ground was a nearly ten-meter-long black dragon corpse. System didn't know if it was a real dragon or a sub-dragon similar to a flying dragon.

Next to the dragon's corpse, there are more than a dozen extraordinary worms eating the dragon's corpse, and some ordinary insects will also pour into the dragon's corpse, devouring the flesh and blood of the dragon's corpse.

The relationship between bugs is not very harmonious, often there will be bugs fighting each other.

And these fights also represent the death of the bugs. When the bugs are injured in fighting and bleed out, they will stimulate other bugs around them and attack them in groups.

Of course, if some insects with strong individual strength are injured, for example, insects of magical ranks are injured, ordinary insects will not attack them.

As far as the eye could see, perhaps because of the siege of the dragon, there were many insect corpses scattered on the ground, and these insect corpses were also swallowed by other insects.

Even some insects that were injured but not completely dead were attacked by other insects and quickly turned into real corpses.

The bugs who were fighting side by side a moment ago will become food for other bugs after being injured and useless.

But beyond the cold side of these bugs, there is something special.

After the bugs have eaten and drank enough, some bugs of the same race will mate, and some female bugs that have conceived eggs begin to lay eggs in different places.

These egg-laying insects will not be attacked, and the eggs laid will not be used as food by other insects, and even other insects will deliberately bypass these eggs when they see them.

Seeing this scene, System controlled [Shadow Avatar] to land, and came to the side of the soil where a female beetle had just laid eggs.

System discovered that his [Shadow Avatar] inexplicably developed a desire to protect these bug eggs, as if these bug eggs were his offspring.

Perhaps this is something hidden in the title "Insect Plague Legion".

After picking up the eggs held by the tentacles and looking at them for a while, System put the eggs back into the soil.

Through these observations, System can roughly deduce the idea of ​​"Zerg Master" Ulysses and the future development direction of "Bug Legion".

Ulysses directed vermin, including insects, to attack all non-vermin, intending to exterminate all other races.

At the same time, Ulysses does not stop the worms from killing each other.

Perhaps Ulyses is well aware of the secrets of insect life that has evolved all the way to the present through countless years, and wants to filter out insect races that are not suitable for the "Insect Plague Legion" through this method of survival of the fittest.

And the method of "Insect Plague Legion" without destroying the eggs will undoubtedly speed up the process of screening suitable insect races, and it will also make it easier for some powerful insects to be born.

"But what's the point of destroying everything else and leaving only bugs? Is it just to become stronger?"

System murmured softly, he could not agree with Ulysses' philosophy of "Master of Zerg".

……

While System was thinking, another Transcendent worm passed through the turbulent swarm, moved to the vicinity of the dragon corpse and began to eat the dragon corpse.

Most of these extraordinary-level insects were the beetles that System had seen before with two huge pincers on their heads, there were also a few giant red spiders, and two black bee-like insects.

System felt very familiar with this Transcendent Beast that moved over. It was a Centipede Beast with a body length of nearly 20 meters.

System felt that this extraordinary centipede was very similar to the centipede demon he had seen on the main plane of Warren Plain, and System even felt a little weak on this centipede. demon breath.

"Could it be a centipede demon? But why has it become an extraordinary rank, and has not yet transformed into an insect demon, and although the emotions it produces are still violent, they are not so crazy."

System controlled [Shadow Incarnation] to fly up into the sky again, passing over the densely packed bugs on the ground, to observe the superhuman centipede beasts.

During the observation process, System suddenly remembered the information Ying had told him about the druids of the swarm.

Grasshopper Beast Shadow has been a magical rank for decades. Ever since he possessed wisdom, Shadow has been collecting information. During this period, Shadow has even learned the characters of the abyss.

According to the information told by Ying, pure worms are extremely rare, and it is difficult to be born. His master Feistantin has studied for many years, and only produced two super-level worms.

It is precisely because it is difficult to manufacture pure worms and beasts of extraordinary ranks, the worms and beasts that Fistantin has mainly studied in recent years have basically concentrated on morphing and magical ranks.

Even under the catalysis of the swarm druids, the birth of powerful worms is extremely difficult.

How was "Zerg Master" born?

And the swarm druids who have the ability to control the swarm, why didn't they have any warning and defense before the attack of the "lord of the swarm"?

Is it...

"Unknown worm beast, you look a little puzzled."

Just as System controlled [Shadow Avatar] to hover in mid-air and kept thinking, a mental wave suddenly appeared in [Shadow Avatar]'s mind.

At the same time, the blood in System's body that had returned to the Crystal Throne trembled slightly, and his [intuition] felt uneasy again...
