Law of the Swarm

Chapter 91 Inheritance
The black smoke hanging over the Lierte Forest lasted for half a month before it dissipated.

Although the sky is still a bit gloomy, black and gray, it will not have much impact on System and his ants.

Pushing away the snow covered above the cave, System came to the ground again.

These thick snow forms a good filter, perfectly blocking the smoke and dust falling in the air from the entrance of the nest.

Otherwise, the fine black smoke will cover the body. Even if the ant people have adapted to the toxicity of the black smoke, the black dust will gradually block the breathing holes in the abdomen, making it difficult to breathe.

During these half a month, System saw several waves of gnolls one after another, as well as an abyssal demon accompanying the gnolls.

However, apart from the dozen or so gnolls he encountered at the beginning, even the huge demon nearly four meters tall didn't notice System's figure.

What are the tricks of these eccentric gnolls and abyssal demons, System has no way of knowing, nor does he want to know.

After some preparations, System decided to take his ants and the little meatballs to migrate south today.

If you travel more than ten kilometers to the south, you will leave the Lierte Forest and enter the Warren Plain, and then continue south for several hundred kilometers, and you will come to an area that is not covered by ice and snow.

……

……

After flying around the nest and finding nothing abnormal, System returned to the nest to prepare for migration with his ant colony.

The so-called preparations for migration are actually nothing.In fact, it is to carry some high-energy food to prevent him and the ants from starving during the march.

While searching for food in the lair, System suddenly discovered a light golden nut stored long ago.

It was the light golden oak fruit left over from the leopard that was frozen into ice slag by the icy beam of light.

System discovered that the golden acorn that was once unbreakable had sprouted two to three centimeters from some time ago, and three small young leaves grew on the sprout.

System tried to bite the tender bud of the golden acorn with his fangs.

Compared to the sturdiness of the shell of the golden acorn, the leaves of the young shoots are incomparably soft. System easily swallowed a piece of the young shoots into his mouth.

As System chewed the young buds of the golden acorn in his mouth, an extremely strong and wonderful taste exploded in System's mouth.

It seems to be sweet, but it doesn't seem to be, System feels as if he appears in the Lierte forest in summer.

In an instant, System felt as if he was in nature, as if he had entered the state where the old druid was one with heaven and man.

Unknowingly, System ate all the sprouts grown from the golden acorn into his mouth.

And as System ate all the buds of the golden acorn, System subconsciously aimed his fangs at the body of the golden acorn.

As a result, the acorn fruit, which even the Goblin Giant's giant frost ax could not smash, was swallowed by System effortlessly.

It only took System more than ten seconds from eating the buds of the golden acorn to eating the whole golden acorn, but System felt as if he was sitting quietly in the forest for several ten years time.

These decades of sitting still were not boring, but made System experience various perceptions, and made him unconsciously understand a lot of inexplicable knowledge.

Ding!You gain the ability [Healing Power].

Ding!You gain the ability [Grow Plants].

Ding!Your experience value has reached the upper limit.

The prompt sound from the [Tools Menu] brought the delicious System, which was still in the mouth, back to reality.

This golden acorn not only gave System a lot of insights and knowledge, but also gave System a lot of experience points.

Because System's level had reached the upper limit, the extra experience began to dissipate non-stop.

System immediately used the [Ability Strengthening Technique] to strengthen his talent [Pupation] with the experience that was about to dissipate.

It didn't take long for System's [Pupation] talent level to rise from level 13 to level 16 for three consecutive levels. He only needs to increase one level to meet the conditions for the third pupation.

This golden oak fruit was far more powerful than the blue fruit eaten by Queen Grasshopper Kun. Not only was it rich in experience, but it also made System think a lot more.

System also learned what this golden acorn was.

It can be said that this golden acorn is the key to becoming a Druid.

Some druids who have performed special rituals will leave such a golden acorn after they die, as a heritage of the rare druid family.

The leopard was indeed transformed by a druid, but it was not the old druid that System met, but a druid named Filael, who left this fruit after his death .

This kind of golden acorn also requires a special ceremony to pass on the knowledge and insights contained in it, and one of the conditions for holding the ceremony is that the golden acorn germinates.

Normally, even if the golden acorn germinates, at most the young shoots formed by the golden acorn can be eaten, but the young shoots and seedlings of the golden acorn are at most rich in nutrients and will not produce other effects.

As for the golden acorn itself, it can't be digested and absorbed at all, even if it is forcibly crushed and eaten, it won't make other beings feel any sense.

However, when this golden acorn met a strange power in System's talent [numerical code] and [insect adaptability], it caused a wonderful reaction, and System unconsciously absorbed a lot of virtues. Ruy's perception and knowledge.

He also finally knew why the old druid had an aversion to bugs, and even who the former owner of the little meat ball was. System also found some clues in this knowledge.

But using the [Numerical Code] ability to receive insights is not as good as the inheritance of the Druids, and System lost most of his things because of this.

……

[Healing Power] (7/21): A derivative ability obtained from [Numerical Code], [Insect Adaptability] and Golden Acorn.Harness the power of nature to heal life.

[Birth-promoting plants] (9/18): Derivative abilities obtained from [Numerical Code], [Insect Adaptability] and Golden Acorn.Use the power of nature to catalyze the growth of plants.

……

A faint green light appeared from System's tentacles. This green energy was the power used by the old druid to save the big bird.

System initially grasped this ability and could only use it for about ten seconds.

After simply testing these abilities for a while, System's ant people basically prepared some meat for migration.

After inspecting the sky again, System took his 42 ants and 15 chrysalis on the road and started heading south...

……

Didn't know that System had already left, but as he ate the golden acorn, a huge crisis passed him by...

Just a few hours after System walked with the ants, the old druid that System knew very well came near his lair.

The old druid frowned and glanced around for a while, his expression became a little weird.

The old druid's body gradually changed shape, and finally formed a giant wolf nearly three meters in size.

After sniffing the ground with its nose for a while, the giant wolf seemed to have discovered something, and began to move towards the south.

But just after the old Druid ran for a few hundred meters, he stopped suddenly and turned around, running towards the direction of the Lierte Mountains...
