Law of the Swarm

Chapter 58 The Ring of Frost
Because of that blue beam of light, the black eagle's body seemed to have turned into an ice sculpture, and System found a thin layer of ice crystals on the black eagle's feathers.

But this layer of ice crystals didn't have the slightest effect on System's entangled tentacles.

System let go of the tentacles wrapped around the black eagle's body, and carefully looked at the ice-blue light ball in the sky.

The blue light ball hovered two meters above System's head and remained motionless. The cold wind in the forest didn't have the slightest impact on the light ball.

System carefully guarded the blue ball of light for more than ten seconds, but found that the ball of light did not move.

And when System moved his body, the ball of light would also move with him, keeping a distance of two meters directly above his body, neither one centimeter more nor one centimeter less.

"What is this?"

System tried to use [Mind Teleportation] to communicate with the light ball, but found that the light ball didn't respond at all.

System tried to rub a few snowballs with his tentacles and threw them towards the blue light ball in the sky. The snowball directly passed through the blue light ball without any impact on the light ball.

System faintly felt that this ball of light seemed to be watching him, but he couldn't do anything about it.

After continuing to stare at the blue ball of light above his head for a while, seeing that the ball of light still had no reaction, System gave up on it and moved to the side of the dead black eagle to prepare to eat. His stomach was really hungry... …

The ice crystals covered by the black eagle's corpse were very hard, and System could only chew the ice crystals with the utmost strength of his fangs.

But System soon discovered a new method, because of [Frost Breath], not only does his blood have the power to resist frost, his saliva also has this ability.

When his saliva touched the ice crystals on the black eagle's body, although it would not increase the temperature of the ice crystals, it could soften the ice crystals and gradually melt them.

System greedily bit the black eagle's body.

But as the swelling of the abdomen and the sense of hunger subsided gradually, System felt more and more uncomfortable, and the feeling of the blue light ball above his head watching him became more and more intense.

Being stared at by an unknown thing all the time while eating made System very annoyed.

Controlling the tentacles, System once again climbed up the tree beside him, and quickly shuttled through the snowy forest like a swing...

Falling from the branch, System waved his tentacles in an attempt to bury himself in the snow, but after trying for a while, System finally had no choice but to give up.

System found that he really didn't have the talent for digging. After digging on the loose snow for a few minutes, he couldn't completely bury his body in the snow.

In the end, System couldn't get rid of the ball of blue light above his head.

"What the hell are you doing!!?"

System used [Teleportation] again to send a mental message to the ball of light above his head, but this time, like before, the ball of light above his head did not respond to System.

His [Mind Teleportation] talent level is still too low, and he can't communicate with the other party at all.

In the end, System had no choice but to give up. It seemed that he couldn't get rid of the thing above his head.

Although it made System uncomfortable to have this ball of light above his head, at least the ball of light didn't appear to be harming him, and his [intuition] didn't bring him any warning signs of danger.

Returning to the black eagle's body, System continued to eat the black eagle's body.

Two hours later, his abdomen finally became full from hunger, and System's lost vitality gradually recovered, gradually increasing from 30% to 70% and stabilizing.

As the vitality reached 70%, the re-digestion of the food in the stomach no longer increased the vitality, and the energy produced by these foods began to be completely converted into experience bars and stored in his body.

Through perceiving his body, System knew that the current limit of his body's vitality was 70%, and at most it would not exceed 73%. The remaining 30% of vitality would only grow back after his disabled body fully recovered.

After eating the bird meat until his belly was so full that he couldn't continue eating, System tore the flesh from the black eagle's body with his fangs.

With his current body, it is obviously impossible to completely take away the whole bird carcass, but he can take away a part of the bird carcass. I believe that the soldier ant Shava and his ant people will like the meat quality of this bird .

Half an hour later, System used several tentacles to wrap around the 200-gram bird meat and continued to move.

Using his tentacles to shuttle back and forth between the branches, System found that carrying this ball of bird meat did not affect his speed much, and he estimated that he could return to his temporary nest before dark.

The blue ball of light floating above his head, System, felt awkward at first, but after being followed by this ball of light for several hours, System gradually got used to it.

……

After moving in the forest for 10 minutes, System discovered a new situation again. In the forest, he found the footprints of small animals again.

Following these footprints, System really found a small animal this time. It was a light brown animal, about 15 centimeters in length, and it was eating a tree that was not completely buried in the snow. tall plant stems.

This creature has a strange appearance. Its ears are much shorter than ordinary rabbits, and its tail is longer than ordinary rabbits. It looks like a mouse, but more like a rabbit.

System already had enough food in his tentacles, so he didn't waste his energy trying to catch this little animal.

But he can use this little animal to test something for him.

System felt the newly formed glands in his throat, and the cold breath gradually brewed and gathered in his throat...

Ice-cold blue gas jetted out from System's mouth——

System discovered that by gathering the icy breath in the glands, the intensity of exhalation could be significantly increased, and without digesting too much energy, he could still exhale three times in a row.

System's movements were very subtle, and his breath was not noticed by the short-eared rabbit at all.

However, System's long-planned exhalation was only halfway through when it was stopped by an uninvited guest. It was the blue ball of light that had never moved.

This blue ball of light completely absorbed the [Frost Breath] breathed out by System.

And as the blue crystal absorbed System's breath, System's [Mind Transmission], which had no effect on the ball of light before, suddenly had some effect.

System felt a strange emotion of wanting to be close to him from this ball of light.

System mysteriously gathered frosty energy in his throat again, and [Frost Breath] erupted again.

Ding!The level of your [Psychic Teleportation] has increased.

Accompanied by a notification sound from the [Tool Menu], System felt a strange spiritual force emanating from the ball of blue light, and his talent level of [Mind Teleportation] was raised to level 9.

He can clearly perceive the emotions that are very close to him in the light sphere.

This ball of light floated slowly in the direction of System.

Not long after, the icy blue ball of light changed its shape and shrunk a bit, turning into an icy blue ring hovering over System's head...

"Frost headband? Is this a magic spell for me?"

System murmured to himself, but found that the frosty ring above his head hadn't been put on his head for a long time, and finally hovered at a distance of about five centimeters above his head.

Like a circle of light, hovering above System's head...
