Law of the Swarm

Chapter 228 Brain Demon Insect Babutar
The uneasiness generated by System's body was very strong, as if something bad was about to happen.

System could feel that the uneasiness he felt this time was the reminder his [intuition] had given him before.

As long as the incident is successfully dealt with reasonably.

Unless he commits suicide himself, he will not encounter other bad things.

……

[Shadow Incarnation] Feeling the spiritual information that appeared in his mind, he looked around, and soon discovered that an unknown insect beast about two meters high appeared on the ground at some point.

The body of the insect beast is black and yellow, with black being the main color and yellow forming strange patterns.

The worm has a huge head, which occupies half of the body. The shape of the head is similar to that of a spider, with many purple-black eyes on it, and a pair of disproportionately small black fangs.

In addition, this worm beast looks somewhat similar to System. It has more than a dozen tentacles with many joints on its body. There are three forks at the end of each leg, which seem to be able to act as fingers. grip.

It seems that this worm beast has high intelligence, and the aura emitted by this worm beast brought great pressure to System's [Shadow Incarnation].

Not only System, but even many superhuman beasts gathered near the dragon corpses stopped eating, expressing fear.

……

Species: Big-Brained Beetle (renameable)
Height: 1.99-2.01 meters

Weight: 60-80 kg
Estimated combat power: 800-9000
……

System's [Investigation and Analysis] shows a combat power of 800-9000. It is estimated that this worm beast is at the top of the extraordinary rank even if it is not a legendary rank.

This worm beast seemed to have almost the same spiritual power as him. System could not perceive the other party's emotions, let alone use the other party's emotions to infer the other party's thoughts.

But System also knew that, just as he couldn't sense the thoughts in the heart of the worm, the worm couldn't sense the thoughts in System's heart either.

After thinking for a while, looking at the worm beast that seemed to be waiting for his answer, System sent a mental message to the other party: "Why do you ask me this?"

The worm looked at System flying in the sky with a puzzled expression, and continued to use spiritual messages to say: "A worm with spiritual power must have good wisdom, but you don't even know who I am , Are you the worm beast studied by the swarm druid Fistantin? Fistantin is indeed very talented, and in the past few decades, he is the only one who has helped the master's breakthrough."

System heard a familiar name again, the original owner of Shadow and Meatball, the swarm druid Fistantin.

And the few words that the worms passed contained a lot of content, which surprised System very much.

In System's previous assumptions, Ulysses, the "Master of the Zerg", probably invaded this level of the abyss from other planes or other levels of the abyss.

But it seems that the "Zerg Overlord" rose at this level of the abyss, and it is also inextricably linked with the Zerg Druids. Even the master of the shadow, Festantine, also participated in the research on the Overlord.

However, in Ying's description of her master Fistantin, there is no research on any powerful insects at all, let alone helping the master for decades.

System trusts Ying very much, and it is impossible for Ying to lie to him.

There must be some secret hidden in it.

And just as System was thinking, the body on System's crystal throne felt more and more uneasy.

It seems that with the spiritual message [Shadow Avatar] just sent, the chances of bad things happening to him have been greatly increased.

……

"You can call me Babutar, or you can call me a brain monster. I've always been interested in a worm with a certain amount of intelligence like you."

As if seeing that System hadn't answered the question for a long time, the Brain Demon continued to send a spiritual message to System.

Then, driven by the brain demon worm, an extraordinary giant pincer beetle took the initiative to become a mount, carrying the brain demon Babutar and flew in front of System hovering in the air.

The mental information of the brain demon worm was normal, but System always felt something was wrong, because he couldn't feel the other party's emotions, and what was wrong System couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong.

The worst outcome is the death of [Shadow Avatar], but where does this anxiety come from?
Could it be that he was going to be deceived and misled by this worm named Babutar, making some wrong decisions and being cheated?
still?

Seeing Babutar waiting, System sent a spiritual message: "I am not the worm beast that Fistantin studied, nor was I created by the swarm druid."

"Oh? It wasn't made by the worms studied by the master, nor made by the druids of the swarm, so your birth is really a miracle." He drank some juice and continued with a greedy expression: "I like miracles."

Looking at the strange expression of the brain demon worm Babutar, System seemed to understand what Babutar in front of him was going to do.

There is a high possibility that Babutar, the brain demon worm, is doing what System likes to do most in his daily life. It wants to capture him for research.

Judging from the brain demon Babutar driving the giant beetle, all the bugs around here can be driven by it.

It was already impossible for System to escape.

Then there is only one thing System can do at this moment, and that is to control his [Shadow Incarnation] to commit suicide.

System immediately made a decision, intending to make the tentacles change into [Dragon Scale Spikes] and immediately pierce his brain to commit suicide, so that his sub-consciousness would return immediately, and he would not have to endure the torture brought about by the research.

However, System, who had made a decision, found that his [Shadow Incarnation] body was completely out of his control at this time.

As if being immobilized, System's body just mechanically hovered in mid-air.

In desperation, System could only use the power of [Shadow Avatar] itself to pull away the consciousness.

However, the extraction process will take at least a few minutes.

"The Juggernaut once said that the survival of the fittest and the survival of the fittest, so the Juggernaut does not stop the same kind from killing each other, because it can better select the kind that is suitable for survival."

The brain monster stretched out its legs and gently stroked System's uncontrollable body, and then continued to send spiritual messages: "I like to eat the brains of insects with a certain amount of wisdom, and taste the memory of each other. Many insects know This is my hobby, so they pretended to be low-intelligence in front of me. Unfortunately, I saw through them all, and their intelligence is obviously not as good as mine, so according to the master's request, I eliminated them all."

The spiritual message sent by the brain demon worm undoubtedly indicates that the other party is going to do something more terrifying than research—swallow memory.

System felt that the brain demon worm could not only eat the brain, but also devour the other party's consciousness or soul, which is why he obtained the memory.

And System didn't know what the consequences would be after his [Shadow Avatar] sub-consciousness was eaten.

Seeing this, System immediately sent a mental message, trying to delay time: "But I don't know who you are at all, you can't think that my intelligence is lower than yours."

The brain demon nodded and said: "Yes, so I'm thinking about what kind of test to test your intelligence. If your intelligence is higher than mine, then I will let you go. "

"Then how about we ask each other a question and see if the other party can answer it?"

System continued talking to the Brain Demon, but found that the Brain Demon was watching him with a strange expression.

"You don't really think that I will let you go, do you? It's a pity that you didn't see through my lies. It seems that your wisdom is not as good as mine, so you have to be eliminated..."

……

After System, who was on the Crystal Throne, received such a spiritual message from [Avatar of Shadow], his spirit experienced an unusually strong stabbing pain, and then completely lost the control of [Avatar of Shadow].

And System's work on [Shadow Incarnation] was only half completed.

Vaguely, System seemed to have received a special spiritual message, and then fell into a coma——

"System, I will find you..."
