Law of the Swarm

Chapter 365 Confrontation with Medland

Strengthen [perception]!Strengthen [body deformation]!Strengthen [Super Speed ​​Regeneration]!
After hearing the system prompt from the [Tool Menu], System immediately started his own strengthening.

In fact, System wanted to strengthen his [Numerical Code] ability, but found that the consumption of [Numerical Code] to improve was too great, and System could only give up.

Along with the injection of strengthening power, System felt his body's flesh and blood roll, and an indescribable power gushed out of his body.

System turned on the time recording function on the [Tools menu], and found that the time on the [Tools menu] passed extremely slowly, almost 200 times slower.

It's not that System has mastered the ability to change the passage of time like Cathy, it's just that the time he feels has slowed down, because System will feel very strenuous when he tries to move his tentacles.

Ding!Your level cap has been temporarily breached.

Accompanied by the sound of some kind of shackles breaking in his body, the white light on System's body surface slowly faded and disappeared into his body, and some strange feelings appeared in his mind.

"I swear allegiance to the king, and I will be loyal until death...", "What is a knight...?", "I am a knight now.", "Guard the safety of the king.", "I will never back down! "...

System found that the vague whispers of the Ant Knight just now gradually became clear in his mind...

System glanced at the information on the [Tool Menu], the level is 189/250, and the combat power is 11w.

After that, the time that had slowed down suddenly speeded up, and the slow time returned to normal.

In less than a second, [Power of the Insect Lord] was successfully activated by System and initially mastered by him.

"So that's what this ability is about."

System sent a spiritual message to the old druid Medlan. At this moment, his spiritual message seemed to have become an aggregation of countless spiritual messages, and there were countless weak echoes, but there was no confusion at all.

And following the sending of the spiritual message, System's dozen or so tentacles had already stretched out, and launched an attack towards Medland's location.

As the tentacles gradually extended, the surface of these ten tentacles showed a unique white luster, and formed a hard material like a keel. At the end of these tentacles, there also appeared pure white diamond-shaped sharp points.

It is the upgrade ability [Dragon Bone Spike] of [Dragon Scale Spike]!

puff!puff!puff!puff!
More than a dozen tentacles hit Medlan's location with great precision, but the reddish-brown bird that Medlan turned into just shattered like a dream bubble, obviously not hitting the entity.

System's tentacles sank into the wall near the mechanical clock, and the mechanical clock was carefully avoided by System's tentacles.

After all, compared to the whitewashed walls, System valued the clock carved with blue wood by sister Cathy the Mantis more.

Of course, it’s not that System likes this mechanical clock, it’s just that this mechanical clock is very practical. After all, he still needs to open the [Tools Menu] to check the time, but with a mechanical clock, he only needs to glance at it That's it.

……

Although he deliberately avoided the mechanical clock with his tentacles, System's attack did not stop. More and more tentacles protruded from System's body, and more and more tentacles came from System's body. grow out.

Because System's [Perception] talent continued to improve, System also had more tentacles. The ends of these tentacles either formed sharp white rhombuses, or appeared black-purple jelly for ejection.

System kept attacking certain places in the air, but there was no sign of hitting, as if he was hitting the air.

"The subspace and the invisibility ability, one is a hummingbird, the other is a grasshopper beast. I didn't expect you to hate insects and beasts, but you can turn into an insect beast. However, the invisibility ability you have learned is still much worse than shadows. ..." System sent a mental message to a certain location in the office, but the movement on the tentacles did not stop.

Because the [Perception] ability was promoted to Legendary, System's senses such as vision, hearing, and smell have all been greatly improved, so System can clearly feel the traces of Medland.

But System soon discovered the difference.

"what!?"

System sent a surprised mental message because Medland suddenly disappeared from his [perception].

Just like the state of unity between man and nature that the old druid showed in front of System when he first appeared, Medlan was indeed much, much stronger than ordinary druids.

Medland's understanding of nature is not so narrow at all. He seems to have integrated into nature, into the environment of the krypton gold skyscraper, and also made System lose the trace of the other party.

It seems that Medland's extermination of bugs is not to protect nature at all. He treats bugs out of disgust.

Maybe it was some unsolved feud between the old druid and the worm.

But System didn't intend to investigate, no matter what, this Maidlan had to die once.

"I talked too much and let him run away?"

System muttered to himself, more and more tentacles gushed out from System's body, and each tentacle split into more tentacles, searching his office like weeds and waterweeds .

Although Medland lost track, System knew that Medland hadn't gone too far.

Just like Medland has the wonderful ability to blend into nature, the current System also has a kind of cheating ability——[Intuition].

[Perception] The ability obtained by System for the first time listening to the sounds of the world. Although it was just a tasteless auxiliary ability at the beginning, as System's strength continued to grow, this ability became more and more useful. stronger.

And now the [intuition] attached to [perception] made System have a strange understanding of what happened around him.

So System clearly knew that Medland hadn't gone far.

Then at the next moment, System suddenly sensed something, and sent out a somewhat unexpected mental message: "It's amazing!"

At some point, Medland had appeared behind him, and at this time Medland had already turned into a human form, revealing the slightly worn brown robe.

And even though his tentacles came into contact with Medland, it seemed that he didn't notice Medlan at all.

Medland showed cold eyes, and his palm seemed to pass through many tentacles slowly but quickly, and pressed onto the exoskeleton of System's body.

At that moment, System felt the strange feeling of being filled with gas in the flesh and blood of his body.

puff! !
Like a ignited bomb, System's body exploded directly, but there was no sound like a bomb.

Countless flesh and tentacles shattered, and even the [Dragon Armor Armor] on System's body was smashed to pieces.

It turned out that the old druid Medlan seemed to be a weak spellcaster, but in fact he was a strong warrior, or the kind of martial artist who had reached the realm of returning to nature.

However, although he didn't expect Medlan to be a fighter, and he didn't know that Medlan had such an inflatable palm technique, System had already known that he would be attacked.

And the surprised mental message just now, plus the fact that he didn't dodge in advance, was just System's doing it on purpose.

In fact, possessing the legendary [Intuition] ability, System had already foreseen the part that would be attacked and the result of his body exploding two seconds before Medlan launched the attack.

So the attack this time was just a prelude to System's attack——

The moment System's flesh and blood exploded, all the scattered flesh and blood melted into the tentacles one by one, and these tentacles also changed their shapes one after another, turning into thousands of [dragon bone spikes].

As if forming a chaotic storm, these "living" bone spurs began to wreak havoc in System's office...

……

Two minutes later, System held more than a dozen bone spurs stained with red blood in his tentacles, showing annoyed expression—although Medlan suffered some injuries, he still let him run away.

But System knew that Medland hadn't run far.

System looked at the guard Johnny the dwarf who was peeking outside the door from time to time, and quickly called him in...
