Law of the Swarm

Chapter 260 Networking

System entered the fourth pupation, which can be said to be much better than the previous pupation and pupation.

Although the place where he was pupating was a seemingly dangerous abyss, it was undoubtedly countless times safer before this time.

In his memory, during the first molt and the second molt, he hid under a dead leaf. At that time, his biggest enemies were rain and strong wind. He was worried that the strong wind would blow away the dead leaf during the molt process, exposing him to danger. middle.

Looking back on the events at that time now, System seems to have an unreal feeling.

The place where he transformed for the third time was underground, and a rat was attracted by the fishy smell. At that time, Shava rescued him, and he proclaimed himself king from then on.

After the volcano erupted in the Lierte Mountains, he took the ants and migrated to the Warren Plain. Under the threat of the Ratmen and Druids, he transformed [Molting Growth] into [Pupation], and completed the first stage in fear. Pupate three times.

After the third pupation, after experiencing undead creatures and worm demons, he finally fled to the abyss.

Today, he has tens of thousands of ants that have secondly pupated, including [-] flying ants, and seven thousand ant knights.

More than 300 ants have completed three pupation and have been promoted to magic ranks, and more than [-] chrysalis that are undergoing third pupation have appeared in the past half a year, and this number is still rising .

In addition, he has thousands of lizardmen at his disposal, and even has a legendary beetle as a thug.

After more than half a year, the Beetle was less afraid of him than Thor, but he was still very obedient.

System also trusted the Beetle a lot, and the reason for the trust was mainly because System found that the Beetle Bitol didn't have any ambitions, and his personality wasn't that violent.

As long as he is not provocative like the little butterfly Ola, Bitol will not get angry. He is a very obedient and docile beetle.

……

After preparing everything, System finally handed over the crystal pendant hanging around his neck to Black for safekeeping, then entered the underground floating island where he specially prepared the pupation room, and started his fourth pupation.

Compared to the difficulty of the third pupation.

On the contrary, System felt very relaxed during the fourth chrysalis from magical advancement to extraordinary.

The original normal body was catalyzed by System's special means of agitating the blood vessels, and the exoskeleton and flesh of his body instantly became itchy, entering the pre-pupational state.

Yes, after continuous research, System has now been able to turn [Pupation], which could only be activated passively, into one that can be actively activated.

System very easily spit out a special liquid that can melt the carapace from the gland in his throat, and dozens of tentacles on his body quickly retracted into his body. After only a few minutes, System It turned into a pitch-black chrysalis.

The impression of spinning appears quickly.

System once again felt his body turn into a sticky liquid, and then he was constantly spinning and stirring in the pupae.

In fact, except for System, other ants, butterflies, and mosquitoes, no matter whether they pupate for the second time or pupate for the third time, will not appear like him, where the mucus inside the chrysalis churns back and forth.

It wasn't for baking cakes either, and System didn't know why the slime he turned into had to be stirred around like this.

Could it be that the mucus that his body turned into was sent away like an egg beater?
System didn't know whether it was because he was a grasshopper or because he was special enough.

Just like that, System became as if he was drunk again, his consciousness gradually became blurred, and finally passed out...

……

In System's memory, he had a dream during his third chrysalis, in which his countless grasshopper ancestors appeared, telling him to live and let him cherish life and pass on to future generations.

After all, since the birth of insects, although there are no historical records, they have also continued to the present, and the blood will pass on something to him and give him some guidance.

System thought he would have a similar dream this time when he pupated, but nothing happened this time.

He woke up quite normally.

System speculated that it might be because his pupation this time did not have a life-threatening situation like last time, so his blood did not remind him.

System felt as if he had had a very good sleep, and he woke up refreshed.

It has only been two days since he watched the time on the [Tools Menu]. He also used the power of [Teleportation] to experience the situation of a circle of underground floating islands, and briefly exchanged a few words with Black and Sawa.

Although turning into a chrysalis closed his five senses, it did not close his spiritual power. During the pupation process, System could even use the power of [Spiritual Connection] to share the senses of other ants.

However, before he could say a few words to Shava, the familiar blood pulse wave came again, and System also felt the rhythm of the bug's blood again, and asked him to choose one of his abilities to strengthen.

Not only that, because of the improvement of life level, coupled with his talent [perception], System's feeling of this rhythm is clearer than before.

In the rhythm of this blood, System heard a kind of inaudible humming sound, which seemed to be the sound of the world. The sound was very hazy, but System could roughly understand the meaning of this sound, evolution.

— Choose.

Strengthen [Numerical Code]!
System still did not have any hesitation, choosing to strengthen the ability he possessed since he was born in this world.

This time, System entered into the digital ocean without waiting for the strengthening power in his bloodline to guide him.

Since he built the krypton gold tower, the lizard people and snake people had a kind of belief in the [data template].

In the digital sea of ​​[Numerical Code], System can freely enter and exit.

However, after more than half a year, it seems that some key catalyst was missing. Although System felt that something had been injected into the digital sea, his [Numerical Code] talent did not change much.

But under the enhanced power of [chrysalis] talent, System felt that all the injected power seemed to be fully stimulated.

System had a premonition that this strengthening of [Numerical Code] would be his strongest strengthening so far.

However, System, who was in the sea of ​​numbers, found that with the strengthened power, the whole sea of ​​numbers unexpectedly calmed down.

The sea of ​​numbers, which was always rippling like a current, turned into a pool of stagnant water this time, and the numbers in the water were only shaking slightly.

The calm before the storm.

Soon, System discovered that there was a slight tremor in the outer space of the digital sea, and all the numbers in the entire digital sea trembled at the same time...
