Law of the Swarm

Chapter 85 The Rebirth of Little Meat Ball
System initially decided to strengthen the ability of [Teleportation] because he was searching for Frost Slime and wanted to expand the sensing range of [Teleportation].

As a result, the [Mind Teleportation] was increased by 2 levels, and the search range did not increase significantly, but instead obtained the derivative ability of [Spiritual Network].

It's a pity that because the ice and snow appeared so suddenly, the Lierte Forest was alive except for slime. There were no large creatures in the forest for him to prey on, only the occasional snow rat and snow rabbit.

Otherwise, with Shava's ability, hunting a wild boar or elk should not be a problem. As long as one is hunted, the meat quality that will not spoil in the ice and snow is enough for these dozens of secondary pupae ants to grow to the limit.

After thinking for a while, he didn't think of other sources of meat, so System took Shava and the other two newly promoted worker ant knights out to look for frost slimes. By the way, he could also test the physical fitness of these worker ant knights. Variety.

……

But just when System decided to go out, System's favorite worker ant Black appeared and blocked his way.

Although Blake is highly intelligent, he still doesn't know how to lie and hide his inner emotions.

System could feel that Black was very envious of the two pupated worker ant knights, and felt jealous.

Although it is not possible to do any harm to the same kind out of jealousy, if possible, Black will definitely use some small means to cause some troubles for these worker ant knights who are not as intelligent as him.

"Why, Black, are you going out with me to find the frost slime?" System gently touched Black's head with his tentacles, ignoring Shava who was clearly showing an unhappy expression.

"No, Wang, the meat ball you studied before has become a little strange."

Black showed a look of enjoyment because of being touched by System, and it quickly sent a video about the little meat ball to System.

In the image, the originally irregular fleshy core of the insect turned into a smooth small meat ball, and granulation sprouts that looked like tentacles grew from time to time on the small meat ball, as if it had life.

"Could it be that it's not dead yet?"

System's expression became serious. If this little meat ball with the ability to devour was still alive, it would undoubtedly be a time bomb for the ants in his nest.

Although the small meat ball has great research value, if it is too dangerous, System does not mind destroying it in advance.

After ordering Shava and the two worker ant knights to disband and rest, System planned to go to that empty room to check the changes of the meat ball.

But before System took two steps, he was blocked by Shava who looked expectant.

Shava didn't send spiritual messages to System, but her expression and emotions undoubtedly revealed what she wanted to do.

Stretching out his tentacles and touching Shava's head, System said helplessly, "Okay, you can go with me and Black too."

Although the double blades on Shava's forelimbs had been shattered, Shava could still deal with it effectively in case the little meat ball attacked again.

……

The small meat ball in the empty room is similar to the mental image transmitted by Black, with several small granulation sprouts growing on the small meat ball that can move freely.

These small granules gradually spread out to the surroundings, and one of the granules stuck to some soil on the ground and retracted into the body of the small meat ball, where it was absorbed by the body of the small meat ball.

"My lord, it seems to be eating the soil, but it seems to prefer some moss." Black sent a spiritual message to System in a timely manner.

"And what about the meat?"

"I like it too, but it seems to prefer moss."

Black sent a spiritual message to System, and at the same time picked up a ball of moss and placed it not far from the meat ball. It didn't take long for the small meat ball to stretch out the granulation, roll up the moss, and swallow it into the body.

System nodded, and carefully used the ability of [Teleportation] to sense the emotions of this small ball of meat.

Doubt, loneliness, hunger, restlessness...

Little Rouqiu's emotions were weak and complex.

"It's nice outside? What do you mean?"

System sent a spiritual message to the little meat ball and asked, but the little meat ball didn't respond. Instead, he showed curiosity and joy to System's spiritual message.

The few buds on the little meatball's body all retracted, and at the same time stretched out a long bud, slowly stretching towards System.

When System's tentacles touched the little meat ball, the granulation of the little meat ball seemed to be frightened, and quickly retracted into the body.

But it didn't take long for the granulation of the little meatball to stick out again and approach System.

System could feel the emotion generated by the little meatball, as if he felt that the world was originally only me, but suddenly discovered that there was something similar to it around him.

Its loneliness is gone, and an emotion of curiosity and joy arises at the same time.

System knew.

The meat ball that wanted to catch him was completely dead, and the little meat ball in front of him was a new life reborn.

It was as if the soul of the original meat ball had died, and this little meat ball gave birth to a new soul.

It is like an ordinary insect egg, ignorant of its surroundings.

However, compared to ant eggs, small meat balls can grow granulation to help it explore everything around it.

……

To kill, or to stay.

Staring at the little meat ball in front of him, System thought for a long time.

After some thought, System finally decided to keep the meat ball.

Although this little meat ball does not have the innate discipline of ants, this little meat ball has a higher intelligence than ordinary ants.

It can completely understand the meaning of System's spiritual message, and complete System's instructions.

The predecessor of this little meat ball was a very powerful bug, as long as it could restore a little half of its predecessor's strength, it would be enough to become System's right-hand man.

"Are you hungry? Here you are."

System passed a spiritual message to the little meatball, and at the same time handed over a small moss to the granulation of the little meatball.

The granulation sprouts protruding from the little meatball were still a little timid, and immediately retracted after touching System's moss, but it didn't take long for the little meatball to be bold enough to stretch out its granulation again, and the moss Bring it back, and then digest and absorb the moss.

System started to brainwash and hypnotize Meatball.

In fact, it cannot be said to be brainwashing in the true sense. System does not intend to deceive the other party. If this little meat ball really agrees with him, he will treat this meat ball as if it were an ant people.

After a few minutes, the timid little meat ball got a lot more familiar with System. It stretched out its buds and touched System's tentacles, expressing hazy and puzzled emotions, as if asking what he was .

"Like you, I am an insect."

System sent out a spiritual message and responded.
