Law of the Swarm

Chapter 273 Today's Monad Swamp
System quickly tested the [Eye of System] ability to spy on the past.

Although when the [Eye of System] ability was promoted, System already understood the effect of the ability.

But the real test of ability is still different from what he imagined.

In System's mind, as long as he looks up with his [System's Eye], he can see all the past changes of the entire floating island, just like watching a scene of a documentary.

He can watch everything that happened on the floating island in the past, maybe he can also see the owner of the floating island manipulating the floating island, and see many secrets.

But when he really used the ability of [System's Eye], System found that this was not the case at all.

First of all, he can't watch a scene in a large range, and he can't spy on the past of living creatures.

System can only observe the past of a single thing, and what he sees is different from what he imagined.

In System's imagination, if he looks at a floor tile, he can see all the creatures that this tile has walked through.

But in fact it is not.

When System looked at the floor tiles, he could only see the changes in the floor tiles themselves. As for the reasons for the changes in the floor tiles, he could only guess by himself.

System could see that the surface of the floor tile under him was very smooth and flat, but more than two years ago, there was a small broken dent in the center of the surface of the floor tile.

Obviously, this trace was excavated for repair.

Through a wide range of adjustment time, System learned that the floor tiles were not floor tiles 8 to [-] to [-] years ago, but a pile of earthy sand and stones, and then the sand and stones condensed into the current shape in a short period of time. Gray stone bricks.

System speculated that there should be a mage or something else who used the ability like an excavator to turn the sand into gray stone bricks.

As for what kind of experience those sandstones had in the past, System couldn't see them at all.

This is because what he watched was the past of the gray stone bricks, and the gray stone bricks had not been formed 8 years ago, so the past he saw ended here.

And in the process of watching things in the past, System found that [System's Eye] consumes a lot of power to peek into the past.

Although the consumption of this ability will not change depending on whether the viewing past is far away.

Theoretically, looking at the brick as it was a year ago costs exactly the same as looking at the brick as it did 1 years ago.

But it consumes a lot of his energy almost every moment. System feels that with the energy of his body, it only takes about 3 minutes to watch it, and the energy will be exhausted.

If it wasn't for System in the process of watching, it would be easy to find out how many years he can watch this item, and then drag the lifetime of the floor tiles like dragging the progress bar for a quick overview.

Otherwise, with only these 3 minutes, System will run out of energy, and it is very likely that he will not be able to spy on anything useful.

……

Although [Eye of System]'s ability to peek into the past is somewhat unsatisfactory, in any case, this ability can completely see the original appearance of some damaged lines on the underground floating island, and it can be repaired by excavators.

Because it is not very urgent to repair the floating island, System has no immediate plan to look at the damaged crystal lines.

System quickly continued to ask Black about the situation of the ants this year, as well as the current situation of the lizardmen and snakemen in the Monad Swamp.

The changes of nearly [-] ants in the floating island were similar to what System had imagined.

Because the ant queen Linda has not yet emerged from the pupa, after three years, the [-] ants gradually decreased to [-] two years ago, and now after a year, nearly [-] ants have died.

At present, there are still [-] ants that have survived, and most of the dead ones are ants that have not entered the second pupation.

Except for a small number of ants who died due to longevity, most of the ants died because of the environment of the abyss.

After all, there are dangers everywhere in the abyss. In the floating island, the proportion of these ordinary little ants that can survive for three years is already very high.

And after these three years, the ants that were unable to pupate for the second time, it is estimated that it will be difficult to continue to pupate for the second time.

At this time, among the [-] ants, there were [-] ants that had pupaed for the second time, including [-] large flying ants, [-] ant knights, and [-] ordinary large worker ants.

Among these ants, the ratio of worker ants to soldier ants is about 20:1, which means that there are [-] soldier ants with a certain combat power in the ant colony.

Because of the food rich in hunting experience of the legendary beetle Bitor, and the ants are constantly taking slime jelly to increase the upper limit of [chrysalis] talent.

After these three years, the number of ants that have entered third pupation has further increased.

At this time, there were nearly 350 ants that had completed the third pupation, and there were also two hundred pupae that had entered the third pupation.

As far as the number of magical ranks is concerned, System's ant people have already reached half the number of lizardmen in the Monad Swamp.

After becoming a magic rank, the ordinary worker ants have grown to a body size of nearly one meter, and their combat power has reached half that of the magic rank lizardmen, while the magic rank soldier ants are already stronger than the lizardmen.

Generally speaking, after the growth period after pupation, the combat power of worker ants in the magic rank can reach about 20, and the combat power of soldier ants is around 60, while the combat power of lizardmen in the magical rank is around 45, and that of snake ants is around 40. .

Although it is still very easy for a magical lizard to defeat worker ants, it will inevitably be injured, while soldier ant knights with a height of 2 meters and soldier ants with a body length of 2.5 meters can already defeat ordinary magical lizardmen.

It can be said that the third pupation broke through the level lock, which caused a qualitative change in the bugs, and they were no longer crushed by the lizardmen as they were when they transformed into ranks.

After all, the worker ants after the second pupation are only 20 centimeters in size, with a combat power of only about 0.8, while the soldier ants are only about 0.6 meters in size, with a combat power of about 2.5.

And the lizardmen of the ordinary metamorphosis ranks already have around 10 combat power.

Unless the ants cooperate with each other and gather dozens of ants, they will basically not be the opponent of the lizardman alone.

Of course, the combat power of the transformed ants and the lizardmen has actually been much closer.

If it was replaced by ordinary lizardmen and ordinary ants, the lizardmen might just walk around unintentionally, and many ants would die as a result.

However, because of the task system of [data template], over the past few years, the lizardmen and ants in the Monad Swamp not only will not fight each other, but can even cooperate and fight side by side.

And as early as two years ago, under the leadership of the legendary beetle Bitol, the Lizardman Legion of the Lizardman Stone Hammer and the Snakeman Alliance of the Snakeman Wizard completely unified the Monad Swamp.

After these two years, the lizardmen in the Monad Swamp have stabilized, and the remaining four extraordinary lizardmen have recognized Stone Hammer as the chief.

There are already tens of thousands of lizardmen living under the floating island, and within [-] kilometers around the floating island, apart from the common mosquitoes in the swamp, there are no other hostile creatures.

After the Lizardmen disappeared, they also entered the breeding period. In the past two years, there have been more and more newborn Lizardmen.

Because there is little danger within 1000 kilometers of the floating island, the number of lizardmen under the floating island has increased a lot in the past year, at least more than [-]...
