Laws of the Insect Hive

Although the ability of [Body Transformation] has been successfully obtained, because the talent level is too low, System has not been able to master it well, and can only make small changes in some parts of the body.

For example, slightly changing the thickness of his carapace, or making his tentacles thicker and longer, or making his tentacles thinner and softer.

Compared with the original ability of [Body Transformation], the several derived abilities that System obtained through [Body Transformation] are more effective.

[Form Disguise] As a derivative ability formed by the integration of [Discoloration Disguise] and [Body Transformation], the effect becomes more powerful.

System can easily change to the color of soil in the cave, and his tentacles that could not change color before can now also actively change to the color of soil.

At the same time, some slight changes will appear on the skin surface of the exoskeleton and tentacles on his body, forming a grainy feeling like mud.

System using [Form Disguise] would be like a pile of dirt as long as he stayed motionless in the cave, and even if he was very close, it would be difficult for him to make a difference.

However, although this [Form Disguise] ability is effective, it is very tasteless for System at present, and it is basically unusable, far less than the other two [Severed Limbs Convergence] and [Tentacles-Foot Limb Conversion]. practical.

The ability of [Severed Limbs] can be said to be a simplified version of System's vision of gelatinizing the body to improve survivability.

System bites off the tentacles, and uses the [Severed Limb Fusion] ability to rebond the broken tentacles in less than two seconds.

After moving the regrown tentacles, System found that the glued tentacles were basically the same as before, except that the control was a little weak, but after a few minutes, the fatigue would completely disappear.

System continued to try the tentacles, wings, and exoskeleton of his body. After these parts were broken or shattered, they could stick to his body again and grow back in a short period of time.

However, compared to the tentacles that will grow granulation in two seconds, it will take a little longer to restore the broken exoskeleton, but it will only take a dozen seconds.

System thought for a while, then continued to upgrade the experiment.

System broke the tentacles again and ate half of the delicious tentacles, and then continued to use the [Severed Limbs Convergence] ability.

The [Severed Limbs Convergence] ability played a role again, even though it was shortened a lot, the remaining half of the tentacles still grew on System, and could be flexibly controlled by System.

Unlike creatures such as octopuses, System's tentacles were like a thick brown rope. The ends of the tentacles were about the same thickness as the front end, so the tentacles that were eaten and attached would not be ugly.

It's just that the length of the tentacles is much less than the other tentacles, so it looks a bit strange.

Soon System used the ability of [Super Speed ​​Regeneration], and the tentacles that were a lot shorter began to grow rapidly. After more than a dozen breaths, the tentacles experimented by System had been repaired as before.

The ability of [Severed Limbs Convergence] is undoubtedly a supplement to the ability of [Super Speed ​​Regeneration].

Although [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] System can repair the damaged body in a very short time, the ability of [Severed Limbs Convergence] will undoubtedly minimize the loss of System's vitality.

But in fact, this ability is not of much use to the current System, at most it will give System an extra means of life-saving.

System's enemies are either formidable and invincible, like the old Druid Medran, or very weak prey, such as insects, scorpions, mice, rabbits, etc. This ability is rarely used. .

Without thinking about it, System continued to test his last untested derivative ability [tentacle-leg conversion].

The grasshopper's foot, which had been abandoned by System, had a chance to appear again, but this foot was slightly different from the grasshopper's original foot.

With the use of the derived ability of [Tentacle - Legs Transformation], System's tentacle skin gradually softened as if it had entered a pupation, and then the softened tentacle skin gradually formed a section of hard exoskeleton.

A black-gray exoskeleton carapace gradually formed on the tentacles, and some irregular spikes appeared on the surface of the carapace, just like his grasshopper legs.

The multi-segment exoskeleton forms a lot of freely movable joints, and there are more small hooks that can climb on the ends of the tentacles and feet.

System estimated that with three to five such legs, he could once again use the barbs of these legs to hang upside down between the branches.

In terms of shape, these tentacles and limbs with carapace are somewhat similar to a kind of Qimen weapon in the previous life, a multi-segmented whip.

This kind of tentacles and limbs are not actually out of the scope of tentacles, but the soft tentacles are covered with a layer of hard carapace.

But System soon discovered that it wasn't just that.

The tentacles and legs covered with the carapace are not as flexible as the simple tentacles, but the joints formed by the legs are much stronger than the simple tentacles.

System even found the feeling of his grasshopper's thigh, and he could even jump using this joint.

System no longer tested tentacles individually, and decided to convert all tentacles into tentacles and limbs and go to the grass for a jumping experiment.

However, after actually transforming the tentacles, System realized that it was very difficult to transform all the tentacles into legs, and a strange hunger came from his abdomen.

Based on the information he felt in his bloodline, System knew that the reason why the ability of [Tentacle-Foot and Limb Transformation] could not be completed was because his body lacked the necessary nutrients to form an exoskeleton.

System quickly chewed up the remaining skeleton of the previous female Ratman.

There are still some of this skeleton left, but if you wait a few more days, they will be eaten clean by the meatballs, which in some ways even have a wider range of recipes than slimes.

An hour later, after digesting enough rat-human bones, System's thirty tentacles were all covered with a layer of exoskeleton and appeared on the ground.

With this type of exoskeleton joint, System's movements in the grass are much more agile.

Although it is not as good as a grasshopper who can jump dozens of times as far as his body, System can now easily jump seven or eight meters away.

And because there are enough tentacles, System can jump around in the grass continuously and make many complicated movements.

It was a pity that System was no longer in the forest now, otherwise he would definitely be able to make more complicated movements in the dense forest with his current body.

System stopped and exerted force on the tentacles and legs. The ends of his tentacles and legs gradually changed shape, and the barbs responsible for climbing disappeared, gradually forming black-brown cone-shaped spikes.

This is System's new ability when he uses [Tentacle-foot Transformation].

Thinking of the [Ice Spike] ability under the [Frost and Cold Form], System did a little experiment, and unexpectedly, he really mastered the derivative ability of this [Carapace Spike].

...

[Carapace Spike] (2/11): Derived ability obtained from [Body Transformation] and [Ice Spike]. Forms sharp spikes at the ends of tentacles or extremities.

...

The power of System's newly formed [Carapace Spike] is average, much worse than [Ice Spike], both in terms of firmness and sharpness.

However, it still helped him a lot in killing small animals such as mice, so that when he wrapped his tentacles around a mouse, he would be bitten by the tentacles, and he could directly stab the mouse to death.

...

System continued to test on the grassland for a while, and then his body flew into the sky. At the same time, he activated the ability of [Form Disguise] to change his body into light blue.

The ability of [Enhanced Hearing] made System's tentacles hear the gnoll's voice again, and it seemed that another gnoll's troop had retreated from the direction of the Lierte Forest...
