Law of the Swarm

Chapter 258 The Beetle

During the process of the sub-consciousness responding to the King Worm meeting, System's main consciousness was not idle either.

After watching Black gradually get used to the power of [Frost Pact], System continued to explain to Black some things about the underground floating island, and then went to the ground to test the ability of [Insect Swarm Control].

Similar to what System felt, he could control all the mosquitoes within one kilometer around him, even some abyssal earthworms hidden in the swamp, he could also control them.

System could feel the strange resonance between the blood of these bugs and his blood.

Rather than saying that System controls these bugs, it is better to say that these bugs actively obey System's command, which is a very strange feeling.

System found that after he used this power, the originally ferocious mosquito became completely docile.

But it's a pity that when he cancels this power, the mosquito will return to its fierce appearance again, attacking him mercilessly.

As for the bugs farther away, System can also influence them.

He can use bloodline fluctuations to affect bugs within a range of ten kilometers, but he cannot control them freely. He can only summon and disperse them.

Generally speaking, the ability [Swarm Control] has a lot of development value, especially at this level where mosquitoes are extremely abundant.

……

However, during the process of System's [Insect Swarm Control] experiment, System suddenly noticed an abnormality, and his title "Insect King Insect" also sensed it.

A worm beast appeared within ten kilometers of him, and the opponent also had the series title of "Bug Plague Legion" and possessed extremely powerful power.

If System guessed correctly, then this worm beast was a legendary rank beetle that was wounded by a hydra and then escaped.

"How did it find me? Could it be because of the title 'Zerg King'?"

System immediately made a plan to escape.

System felt that this legendary worm approached him, most likely to kill him, and then seize the title of "Zerg King".

Survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest.

Under the idea of ​​dominating Ulysses, System couldn't help but think otherwise.

Fortunately, the movement speed of this legendary beetle is not fast. At this time, he only needs to inform Ola to help attract the hatred of this legendary beetle, and then find a way to escape to the Hydra.

But just as System wanted to notify Ola, he discovered something abnormal.

System found that his [intuition] didn't convey any sense of danger this time, just like the previous King Worm meeting, it didn't give him any warning.

"Is this [intuition] invalid? Or does that Beetle have some special ability?"

System muttered to himself, but he always felt that the Beetle didn't have any special abilities, and the other party couldn't possibly be an existence beyond common sense like a fantasy rank.

System suddenly had a strange idea, he tried to use the [Insect Swarm Control] ability, and used it on the legendary beetle, trying to make the beetle leave.

Normally speaking, the ability of [Swarm Control] can only affect insects and bugs at or below the magical level, and if those insects resist, they can also resist the ability of [Swarm Control].

But surprisingly, the legendary beetle obeyed System [Swarm Control]'s dispersal command very obediently.

After receiving the blood pulse wave from System, the legendary worm left immediately.

And when System continues to use [Insect Swarm Control] to issue summoning commands, the legendary beetles will fly towards him again.

So that's it.

System let the beetle fly over, then fly away, fly over again, fly away again...

After repeated testing dozens of times, System was finally sure that this legendary beetle would take his orders tirelessly.

System quickly figured out the context of the matter, perhaps because the Legendary Beetle, once a subordinate of the Brain Demon, belonged to Babutar's No.11 Legion.

And System inherited the title of "Zerg King Bug" from the Brain Demon Bug, so the Beetle would obey his orders.

But System couldn't trust this legendary beetle at all, and he couldn't trust him at all. Who knew if this legendary beetle would suddenly strike back and kill him suddenly.

After thinking about it for a while, System finally let the legendary beetle gradually approach and stop at a distance of one kilometer from him.

Although the fog in the Monad Swamp was thick, System could still see the huge and vague shadow of the Beetle, as well as the roar of its flight.

Seemingly sensing the breath of the legendary creature, the lizardmen wandering around the Krypton Gold Tower seemed terrified, but many lizardmen still raised their spears, trying to protect their Krypton Gold Tower.

System ignored the lizard man's movements and concentrated on feeling the legendary beetle.

At this distance, System's [Mind Teleportation] ability can already cover the opponent's method, and can also sense the opponent's thoughts.

If the legendary Beetle has doubts and doubts about him, System will know immediately, and he will definitely lure the Beetle to the side of the Hydra before the Beetle's doubts about him are deep, and let the Hydra Get rid of it.

But the emotions that System sensed through [Teleportation] were completely different from what he had imagined.

System noticed that the legendary Beetle had two emotions, one was fear, and the other was flattery.

"Could it be that I'm being treated as a brain demon worm? But the blood pulse fluctuations that I use [Insect Swarm Control] are completely different from those of the brain demon worm."

System thought suspiciously, so he used the ability of [Bug Swarm Control] to make the beetle circle around within a kilometer around him, and even do somersaults in the air.

"who am I?"

After letting the legendary beetle circle around dozens of times, System finally couldn't hold back and sent a spiritual message to the legendary beetle.

"do not know……"

After receiving System's spiritual message, the Beetle in the distance immediately gave a very honest answer, and the answer was full of fear.

System continued to ask the legendary Beetle: "Are you afraid of me? Why are you afraid of me?"

However, this time, the legendary Beetle did not respond to System for a long time.

System could feel that the legendary beetle seemed to have thought of the answer to the question, but he didn't dare to answer it, as if answering would lead to some kind of fatal disaster.

"I'm... stupid, I don't know anything, don't eat my brain."

After sending out such a spiritual message, the legendary beetle fluttered its wings and fled away...

Obviously, this legendary beetle possessed a certain amount of intelligence. It wasn't stupid, but it wasn't smart either. It seemed that it was born with serious mental problems due to the torture of the brain demon bug.

However, after only one or two hours of flying away, the legendary beetle flew back again, and once again conveyed the emotion of wanting to approach him, but not daring...
