Law of the Swarm

Chapter 326 Devil System
The sudden scene changed the expressions of the agile dwarf Johnny and the legendary assassin at the same time.

Following the tree branches and bark debris falling in midair, the dwarf holding the silver giant hammer and the legendary assassin retreated more than ten meters at the same time.

The battle between the two also came to an end. The legendary assassin in the gray robe quickly fled, while the dwarf Johnny was a little stunned.

"Could this be a warning to us?" Although the body of the heroic spirit belongs to a spirit body, the dwarf still trembled unconsciously. He picked up a piece of neatly cut sawdust on the ground and murmured: "If we continue to fight recklessly here , will become this pile of debris?"

The dwarf looked at the floating island in the distance, and the strange blue crystal tower.

At this moment, the dwarf Johnny recalled the feeling of facing the glacier lord Aura hundreds of years ago, and was not sure for a while whether he should continue to contact the church of the krypton gold god Mana.

If he lost his life because of this trip, what's the use of finding clues to the Hall of Valor?
But no matter what, the dwarf can't leave here now, at least he has to wait for the rose demon Duoduo to return from the investigation of the floating island before he can leave.

It is impossible for him to abandon the flower demon who came to the main plane with him and return to the winter wonderland alone.

Johnny the Storm Hammer didn't know that when he was very flustered, the guy who "warned" him just now was also panicked, much more flustered than him.

Due to the maximum use of the ability of [Time Slowing], it almost reached the time suspension. The golden-winged mantis Cathy's body was basically overdrawn at this time, but she still stubbornly carried a whole piece of cut wood towards the Krypton Gold Skyscraper. Flying in the direction of the building——

She did it!

……

Things go back two days.

At that time, the mantis sisters, Cathy and Kanan, were carving a strangely shaped square object under System's instructions. According to System's description, what they carved was the wooden case of a mechanical clock.

System wanted to make two identical mechanical clocks, one to be placed in the main hall of the floating island, and the other to be placed in the room on the top floor of the Krypton Gold skyscraper.

The function of the mechanical clock is to record time.

Cathy was very puzzled, because the [data template] has the function of recording time, and the time recorded by the [data template] is much more accurate than the time of the mechanical clock.

So Cathy didn't understand why System wanted them both to carve the shell of this broken clock!

It's something a fool would do!
Not only her, even her younger sister Kai Nan thinks so - the one who came up with the idea of ​​making a mechanical clock is a stupid X who is so stupid that he can't be any more stupid!

However, Cathy and her sister didn't dare to question System at all.

Even the two of them didn't dare to show even the slightest protest in front of System, and they would happily accept any orders from System.

This is all because System, a perverted devil, has the ability to read emotions.

It was System, the perverted devil, who discovered the two of them stealing food back then by sensing their emotions. As a result, the two of them were fined not to eat meat for three days, but only to eat leaves and grass.

Therefore, only when the Mantis sisters are alone, will they secretly curse at System. The elder sister Cathy wants to cut off all of System's tentacles and wings, so that System will not come to check The work of the two of them was fruitful; while the younger sister, Kenan, wanted to gag System so that System would not give orders to the two of them.

However, all of this is impossible. The sisters are too cowardly, not to mention not daring to resist System, even daring to kill a small ant.

The current Mantis sisters miss the happy life in the abyss, especially when they were managed by Beethoven in recent years.

At that time, Beethoven didn't care about the two of them at all, as well as those extraordinary beetles of the brain demon Babutar. As long as they passed by, those cute beetles would bring them food even if they didn't eat themselves. so happy.

You don't need to work, you can eat meat that has been slaughtered, and you can sleep when you want.

But now, since Beethoven handed over the Twelfth Legion to System to help manage it, everything has changed.

Cathy counted the time. She and her sister hadn't slept for more than three months—they hadn't slept since the abyss came to the main world.

It's all because that devil, System, even said that he should try not to sleep when it is not necessary, and that he should work hard when he is working.

As a result, she and her sister will never be able to sleep.

……

And it was this time that he routinely cursed System in his heart, which distracted Mantis Sister Cathy, and the casing of the second mechanical clock was carved wrongly.

Originally on the blueprint on the [data template], the hollow pattern should have three waves, but Cathy accidentally made four waves.

Because she didn't dare to tell the devil System, Cathy decided to destroy the wrongly carved wood and make a new one.

But this unique red wood is extremely rare, and the Mantis sisters are no longer available, and the devil System asked them to carve it within three days, using their free time.

In fact, the Mantis sisters felt that carving with another ebony wood would also be very beautiful, but this red wood was chosen by System himself, and the Mantis sisters did not dare to discuss it with System.

So after some discussion, Sister Mantis Cathy decided to go to the forest to find another tree made of this red wood, while Sister Mantis worked harder and completed the task of the two sisters alone.

Cathy was very lucky. She found this rare wood after only five hours of searching, but just when Cathy decided to harvest the wood, a dwarf heroic spirit and a human met near the wood.

Cathy used the ability of [mimetic camouflage], disguised as a plant branch, quietly observing secretly from a hundred meters away.

A few minutes later, the dwarf spirit smashed the human to death with a big hammer, then used the hammer to dig open the dead leaves and soil, and buried the human in it.

Cathy waited quietly like this, she decided to wait for the dwarf heroic spirit to leave before collecting wood.

But unexpectedly, the dwarf actually dug a hole, got in, and kept staring at the tree (the soil in front) that Cathy wanted to cut down.

You must know that System only gave them three days, so as time passed, Cassie also became flustered.

Cathy left decisively and continued to search for other wood, but after searching for a day and a night, Cathy still found nothing. As a last resort, Cathy discussed with her sister through MZ, and finally returned to the cave near the dwarf heroic spirit and continued to wait.

However, the dwarf showed no sign of leaving at all. Even in the dark, the dwarf heroic spirit was still staring at the tree (the soil in front).

Afterwards, when the day and night passed again, Cathy the Mantis looked at the little time left in the [data template], while thinking about whether to muster up the courage to fly over and ask the dwarf if he could give her the wood. .

Another human appeared.

The dwarf heroic spirit and the human fought again, and things developed in the direction Cathy least wanted - the human hid behind a tree, and the dwarf raised his silver giant hammer...

No!

Because of fear, Cassie felt that the blood in her body was boiling. At this moment, Cassie seemed to see System scolding her and punishing her to eat grass leaves for a year.

The silver sledgehammer failed to fall for a long time. Unknowingly, Cathy stimulated her abilities to the maximum, and the whole world became quiet in an instant, only her own heartbeat was beating slowly.

Cathy canceled the status of [Mimicry Disguise], flew around in front of the humans and dwarves, but found that they didn't seem to see her.

It is not difficult to guess what happened next. Cathy, who mustered up her courage, acted as the face of the dwarves and humans, cut the wood out on the spot, and then walked away...

……

……

The sky in Lierte Forest was already dark. System, who was in the Krypton Gold skyscraper, looked at the moon outside the window, thinking about whether to add a curtain to the window to block the view.

While System was thinking, Cathy the Mantis and Kai Nan knocked on the door and entered his office. After putting down the wooden cases of the two clocks, the two Mantises quickly escaped.

"Are you that afraid of me?"

System shook his head, looked at the things on the ground, and sighed helplessly.

Making a mechanical clock was just a whim on his mind. Because of the lack of necessary metal ores and some necessary technologies, it would take at least a few months to actually make a mechanical clock...
