Law of the Swarm

Chapter 54 Survival in a desperate situation

In the Lierte forest, a giant frost dragon appeared.

Ola, the lord of the glacier, is inspecting the territory where it has not returned for a long time.

This place has changed a lot.

Flapping her wings, Ola flew to an old oak tree in the Lierte Forest. This old oak tree was 30 meters high and was the largest tree in the Lierte Forest.

Since it came here to have memories, this forest is its favorite world of ice and snow.

Although the old oak tree did not die, it had never grown leaves because of the cold, and it had always been bare.

But now this old oak tree has exuded vitality and grown dense branches and leaves.

Ola said, "Medlan, I know you're here."

"Madelan, come out."

Seeing that there was no movement around, Aura suddenly opened her mouth wide and tore off a branch of the old oak tree...

The taste of the oak branches and leaves was obviously not very good. The Frost Dragon spit out the remaining oak leaves in its mouth, and at the same time turned its platinum pupils to scan around.

"Huh? Isn't it here? It's only been 300 years, so it shouldn't be dead."

Aura showed a puzzled expression. The druid had been guarding the oak tree at the beginning. It is said that it seems to be a special kind of oak tree called the silver oak tree.

However, Aura's puzzled expression immediately turned to joy, and it showed a smug smile, and said to a figure not far away: "Jie Jie Jie Jie... Medlan, you despicable liar, I didn't expect it, I Back again!"

"I did not lie to you……"

Accompanied by the voice of the old druid, the frost dragon suddenly waved its claws.

The old druid didn't seem to dodge the dragon's claws, and was directly grasped by the ice dragon's sharp claws. However, after Aura opened the dragon's claws, he found that the claws were holding only an unknown plant.

"Damn the liar Melander, and those heroic spirits of Winter Wonderland, and Orgen..."

Aura muttered something, and it realized that it had completely lost track of the old druid. Not long after, the angry Aura breathed out an extremely cold breath, completely freezing the silver oak tree in front of it.

The Frost Wyrm flicked its mighty tail—

Accompanied by the violent impact, the silver oak turned into countless small ice crystals and shattered like shattered glass.

The dragon's wings fanned the blue magical whirlwind, and these ice slags of the silver oak were blown in the direction of the Lierte Mountain Range, and it wanted to blow the pieces of the silver oak tree to the other side of the glacier mountain range.

Orgen spread his wings and flew into the sky, but it flew back immediately.

The Frost Dragon waved its claws and dug continuously towards the ground, finally digging out all the roots of the old oak tree. It also froze the roots of the oak tree into ice slag, and then blew the ice shards away again.

……

The frost dragon finally flew into the sky, flying slowly towards the glacier mountain range...

Not long after, inexplicable voices appeared in the ears of all creatures in the forest.

"Little forest creature, I allow you to silently recite my real name and accept my blessing again."

As the sound came out, more than ten kilometers away from System, the goblins in the goblin village danced and started to revel. A frosty power appeared in the void and enveloped the goblins.

The bodies of these goblins swelled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and their green skin gradually turned white. After a few breaths, their bodies swelled to a height of two meters, and they were no longer the thin and weak appearance of ordinary goblins.

A thick white mist appeared around the goblins, and light blue ice crystal armor appeared and covered the goblins, and various ice crystal weapons also appeared in the hands of the goblins.

These goblin giants waved the frost weapons in their hands and ran towards the glacier mountains at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, at least a dozen creatures with frost power appeared in every corner of the Lierte Mountain Range, and they all started to move towards the direction of the Lierte Mountain Range...

The great glacier master has finally returned.

……

……

"Little forest creature, I allow you to silently recite my real name and accept my blessing again."

System, who was unable to move among the dead leaves, also heard the voice of the Glacier Lord.

His [intuition] gave him a strange feeling.

As long as he responds to this passage and reads the real name of the Glacier Lord in his heart, not only can he immediately save himself from danger, but he can also obtain great benefits.

It is even possible for him to transform directly from a mortal to a magical being.

It's a pity that Systemtem doesn't even know the common name of the Glacier Lord, not to mention his real name. He even guessed the code name of the Glacier Lord from the words of the Goblin and the Gnoll. Know what is right and what is wrong.

And following the words of the Glacier Lord, System clearly felt that the surrounding weather had become colder again, and there were more and more snowflakes falling in the sky.

Ten minutes passed again, and System's vitality had dropped to 51%. He felt a growing sense of weakness in his body, and even a trace of exhaustion in his body, urging him to take a nap.

If this continues, even with the worm's tenacious vitality, he won't be able to survive for long.

Fortunately, after more than ten minutes, his frozen body gradually eased, and the remaining legs and abdomen began to tremble uncontrollably.

However, as his body trembled involuntarily, some white blood would flow out from his legs and abdomen, accelerating the loss of vitality.

System could only work hard to control his body, keep his body as stable as possible, and reduce the loss of blood.

As the freezing of his body gradually eased, System's numb body gradually felt intense pain.

Before, because his body was completely frozen, he looked at his body like a bystander, but now that he really felt his body, he felt the pain in his body was unbearable.

Fortunately, the insect's physique is quite tenacious. After a while, this unbearable pain gradually became habitable, and many parts of his body gradually regained consciousness.

It wasn't his limbs, tentacles, or fangs that were the first to regain mobility in System's body, but the glands in his throat that could spray [corroding mucus].

System carefully controlled the jelly that spewed out of his throat to wriggle. After the third molt, the activity of his [Corrosion Slime] was much enhanced, and the wriggling speed of the jelly was also much faster.

However, due to the appearance of tentacles, he has rarely manipulated the slime in this way.

Most of the time, he just uses these [Corrosive Mucus] for in vitro digestion to speed up his digestion speed, and with the recent eating of slimes, he can't even use the [Corrosive Mucus] for in vitro digestion.

System controls the mucus jelly ejected from the glands. He carefully manipulates these jelly to wriggle to various wounds in his body, and wriggles these jelly into his flesh and blood to tightly block them, acting as a barrier to stop bleeding. bandage.

After some hard work, System's remaining vitality finally stabilized at around 34%. Although it was still slowly declining, the rate of decline slowed down a lot, and it was initially out of danger.

But with the falling ice and snow, his situation is still not optimistic.

System looked at a black-brown chrysalis hanging on a tree one meter away.

This chrysalis is five centimeters in size, and it has not yet broken out during this period. It is obviously a chrysalis preparing to survive the winter.

System didn't know whether the chrysalis hatched out to be a moth or a butterfly.

But obviously, to have such a chrysalis not far away from him is really a blessing in misfortune!
After these days of using tentacles to check the abilities of various insects, System knew that this overwintering chrysalis had an ability that he needed very much now—[cold resistance].
