Law of the Swarm

Chapter 52

"No clouds? How can there be snow?"

The flying System gradually stopped. Although the snowflakes kept falling, the temperature at noon was still very warm. These snowflakes gradually melted during the falling process, and when the snowflakes fell on the dead leaves or plants on the ground , it will completely melt into snow water.

System flapped his wings and flew high into the sky. He wanted to find out the reason for the formation of this kind of ice and snow.

Whether it's rain or snow, they're both forms of water, and it's highly unusual for snow to fall in a clear sky with no clouds.

……

Even though the snowflakes were falling, the temperature at noon didn't change much, and it was even warmer than when System flew up to the clouds for the first time.

There is no wind in the forest today, even if it flies to a high altitude, the wind is not very strong. Although there are snowflakes hindering the wings, the suitable temperature allows System to fly thousands of meters high without consuming too much energy.

At a height of more than a thousand meters, System discovered the truth about the formation of snowflakes.

System felt a strange breath, which was weak and deep, and also revealed a hint of coldness.

As this breath circulates in the air, the air will unbelievably condense into grains of ice crystals.

When the ice crystals condense to a certain weight, they will start to fall, and the ice crystals will further condense during the falling process, gradually forming snowflakes of various shapes.

As the snowflakes continue to fall, due to the temperature, the snowflakes will start to melt little by little.

System, hovering in the air, stretched out his tentacles to grab an ice crystal that had just condensed in the air, and put the ice crystal in his mouth to taste.

Apart from being slightly cold, System didn't taste any special taste from this ice crystal, it was just like ordinary water.

However, unlike ordinary water, System found that by consuming this ice crystal, his experience bar increased slightly. Obviously, this ice crystal contained some strange power.

……

"Is this how the snow in this world is formed?"

System's planning and development during the recent period have been smooth, but he obviously ignored that he is in a world full of magical power.

The various natural laws of the previous life may still apply here, but they must not be completely copied.

This first snow caused by magical power undoubtedly informed System that winter was coming, and it was more than two months earlier than System estimated that the first snow would fall, which completely disrupted his next plan.

Now it is unrealistic to control the slime to attack the ant nest. If the snow continues, the weather will definitely become colder.

With the cold blood in the insect body, it is impossible to survive in the cold outside world.

When the blood in the body is frozen into ice, the bug will be greeted with death.

He can only do his best to let the soldier ant Shava control the worker ants to carry as much food as possible to his overwintering nest when the weather is not completely cold, and then spend the winter in the overwintering nest.

System flapped his wings and decided to return immediately, so that Shava could control the worker ants to start action as soon as possible.

And just as System scanned the forest below, he inadvertently discovered a very strange scene, which was the Goblin village more than ten kilometers away from him.

On the small road near the goblin village, five young and strong goblins showed excited expressions and were returning with a cart full of food. On the cart, System found the three jackals dead body.

The bodies of the three Gnolls seemed to be covered with a layer of white ice crystals, apparently because they were frozen to death.

"Could it be the lord of the glacier...?"

System looked at the hazy glacier mountains thousands of kilometers away. The three gnolls who had frozen into ice crystals, as well as the snow and ice suddenly scattered in this forest, were probably the masterpieces of those goblins who believed in the glacier lord.

"But how are the goblins going to survive when the winter here gets cold?"

Looking at this group of goblins who were naked and lived in extremely simple conditions, System really couldn't imagine what these goblins would look like when they survived in winter.

Maybe the Lord of Glacier will give them shelter, but is it really a wise choice to believe in the Lord of Glacier?
System didn't continue to think, he speeded up his wings and returned to the nest.

As the snowflakes kept falling, System felt that the temperature had dropped slightly, and there was not much time left for him to prepare for the winter.

However, in the process of System's continuous flight and descent, he suddenly heard a mysterious and long sound. The volume of the sound was not loud, but the sound seemed to be ringing in his ears.

The sound didn't sound like a human's, but more like the roar of an animal, like a tiger or a bear, but when you think about it carefully, it doesn't sound like it at all.

It seemed to be the voice of a creature that System had never touched in his previous life.

hold head high--

With the sound coming out again, System saw a huge figure in the direction of the glacier mountain range. The creature suddenly appeared in the sky hundreds of kilometers away, flying leisurely. If System guessed correctly, this creature The creature should be - a dragon.

Huge wings, silver-white dragon scales seemed to be covered with a layer of blue ice crystals, the mouth of the giant dragon was tightly closed showing a majestic expression, this is the giant dragon that appeared in Western mythology in System's previous life.

The body of this giant dragon is slender, nearly 20 meters long from its head to its tail. Even from afar, System can feel the beauty of this giant dragon's body.

Even System, who had strong self-control, couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Looking at the dragon's body, System felt the blood in his body tremble slightly.

This giant dragon is obviously a higher level of life, even if it is separated by hundreds of kilometers, it exerts an unimaginable pressure on his body.

System speculated that if this giant dragon appeared, even an ant that is not afraid of death would not have the courage to approach this giant dragon.

With the appearance of this giant frost dragon, System could feel that the sky was getting colder and colder. It seemed that this ice dragon was the culprit that caused the snow and ice to drift in the forest.

"Could it be that this giant dragon is the Lord of Glaciers that those goblins believe in?"

System took one last look at the giant dragon flying in the air in the distance, and decided to ignore it and concentrate on his own affairs.

However, it was this last glance that caused System unimaginable trouble.

System saw the silver-white scales on the dragon's body, even if one of these scales was taken alone, it would be bigger than his body.

System turned his gaze, and he observed the dragon horns on the dragon's head, the white gas spouted from the dragon's nasal cavity from time to time, and the pair of ice-blue eyes and platinum-gold pupils...

From the eyes of the giant dragon, System felt a look of nostalgia. This giant dragon obviously possessed wisdom.

In the process of looking at the eyes of the dragon, System found that the eyes of the dragon seemed to turn slightly, and the eyes intersected——

Just as he watched the dragon from afar, the dragon also found him.

System's heart was beating violently, and he realized that the giant dragon that was still in his sight had suddenly disappeared.

After more than a dozen breaths, System still didn't find the trace of the dragon disappearing, but his [intuition] brought him a feeling of uneasiness.

Then at the next moment, when System was still searching for the trace of the dragon.

A huge dragon's head and a pair of platinum-colored pupils suddenly appeared in front of System...
