Law of the Swarm

Chapter 50 Planning and Development

Mastering this [Ability Activation Technique] ability, System does not intend to immediately capture different types of insects and activate the abilities in his body.

Part of the reason is that he needs to be cautious in his choice due to the conflict of abilities, and the rest is because he doesn't need to activate so many kinds of abilities at present.

His lifespan is more than four years, and there is nothing around him that can threaten him.

He doesn't have to rush to improve his strength, but should make a reasonable plan for the future.

Although System didn't know much about this world, it was much better than when he just woke up more than a month ago.

This is a magical world, with all kinds of supernatural powers that he did not have in his previous life. He has seen druids, slimes, and goblins. It is estimated that this world will have higher-level fantasy races.

Regarding the strange energy pouring into his body from time to time in the air, System still didn't feel very clearly. He didn't have any way to control this special energy for the time being, and could only rely on his body's instinct to absorb it.

After thinking about it for a while, Histor decided not to think about this strange energy floating in the air.

For future development, what he should do now is to use the [Ability Strengthening Technique] to strengthen the [Super Speed ​​Digestion] in his body as fast as possible.

In this way, he can gain more experience bars in the same amount of time, that is, the potential in his body, and then use the extra experience bars to continue to strengthen [Super Speed ​​Digestion] ability, further improving his digestion ability.

When his [Rapid Digestion] grows to a certain level, System decided to divide the newly gained experience into two parts, a small part of which uses the [Ability Strengthening Technique] to strengthen Shava's [Pupation] talent, striving to make Shava an early A second pupation takes place.

Most of the remaining experience, System decided to give the female ant larva all of it. You can use [Insect Ability Activation] to make the female ant larva gain more abilities, or you can use [Ability Enhancement] to treat the female ant larva. Ability to strengthen.

System decided to breed this female ant larva into a powerful queen ant, so that the queen ant has excellent egg-laying ability, and the ability of the offspring produced by the queen ant will be improved.

In this way, with the continuous birth of ants, System will get more help, harvest more and rarer food, and gain more experience, and then he can use these experiences to continue to strengthen the queen , allowing the queen to produce more powerful offspring...

In this way, it undoubtedly entered a very good virtuous circle, and it is not impossible to use ant colonies to hunt some small animals by then.

……

……

After deciding on a plan, System carried out his plan in an orderly manner.

He ordered Shava to continue to build the overwintering nest that had been shut down for the past few days, and make it more spacious, and then deal with the remaining ant eggs.

System began to visit his new slime friend and asked him for food.

Three days passed quickly.

System strengthened [Super Speed ​​Digestion] by continuously devouring slime's jelly, and his [Super Speed ​​Digestion] has risen to level 6.

The digestion speed is equivalent to 2.5 times of the original digestion speed. Basically, in three hours, he can digest the gelatin that took half a day to digest before. System estimates that in another ten days, his [Overspeed Digest] can be upgraded to full level.

And just after ingesting a new mass of jelly, System's talent [Degeneration and Growth] was finally upgraded to level 14.

System felt what he would become after the fourth transformation.

It's just that this appearance is blurred, as if covered by a layer of smoke, and soon he can't even feel this blurred appearance.

During these three days, in addition to continuously strengthening [Super Digestion] with the experience bar obtained, and returning to the temporary nest to feed the ant larvae, he would also fly up to the sky from time to time to check whether there are special creatures below. .

In addition to discovering a few birds that could only emit electric light, last night, System finally found the slime that he couldn't find before.

It turned out that there was a burrow covered by grass near the swamp forest where the slime lived. Perhaps it felt cool and damp in the burrow. The other slime had been hiding in it for a few days and hadn't come out.

This slime is similar in color and size to the other slime, and will also follow System's instructions.

System can control the two slimes to gather together to form a large slime, but after a while, the large slime will actively separate to form two slimes again.

It seems that these two slimes should be individuals formed by the splitting of the same slime. When the size of the slime grows to a certain level, they will actively split to form two new individuals.

……

The three tentacles that System had bitten off by the rats had been fully repaired by the power of [Regeneration of Severed Limbs] after two days.

Except for the slightly lighter color of the newly grown part, the skin of the tentacle is softer, almost exactly the same as before.

After System's tentacles fully recovered, he would use his tentacles to catch some insects in his free time for these two days, bind them, and collect information about these insects.

System discovered that when he blessed the tentacles with the power of [Perception], it would indeed make mature insects desire to mate.

Whether it's a butterfly, a dragonfly or a praying mantis, these insects respond the same way after being entangled in his tentacles and exploring.

Even arthropod spiders, which are not insects, react similarly.

However, his tentacles can't detect the abilities in the spider's body, and he can't use [psychic communication] to feel the spider's emotions, and he doesn't know exactly what the spider is thinking.

System found that after he finished using this ability, although his body didn't feel anything, his desire to mate would be greatly reduced, so that he no longer had to restrain his growing desire to mate with reason. .

I have to say, this is a very strange feeling.

After taking a few bites of a small frog caught by its tentacles and throwing it away, System packed another piece of slime and brought it back to his temporary lair.

After these three days, System had a general understanding of the status of Shava's second pupation through inquiries and tentacles.

Shava has indeed sensed her second chrysalis, and she is very close to the second chrysalis. When Shava's level increases to level 12, and the [Pupation] talent continues to improve, she will start the second chrysalis. Secondary pupation.

This kind of slime's gelatin not only has an obvious effect on [Molting Growth], but also has an effect on Shava's talent [Pupation].

If he continues to eat this slime jelly, System estimates that at most half a month, Shava will be able to successfully enter the second pupation.

However, while System was exploring the lair, he discovered something was wrong.

After these three days, eight of the first batch of pupated ants emerged from their pupas, but among the eight worker ants, System only found six.

Two worker ants are missing...
