Laws of the Insect Hive

System's actions were as efficient as ever. He quickly came to the dungeon and killed the paralyzed rat man.

Basically the same as the death of an ordinary rat man, this rat man did not make any special movements, nor did it emit any energy fluctuations.

What seemed to be disturbing him had nothing to do with the rat-man.

But killing is killing, and System didn't particularly regret it.

Although he desperately wanted to understand the [Curse of Severance] and eradicate this curse, it was nothing compared to his own safety.

On the contrary, Blake felt very lost about the death of the Rat Man, and because of the death of the Rat Man, Blake could not experience the joy of learning a foreign language.

Apart from Black's loss, System thought instead of the shelf life of the rat-man corpse as food.

Due to the weather, System was unable to roast and air-dry the Rat Man's flesh and blood, and it was estimated that the Rat Man's flesh would rot and deteriorate in a few days.

The effective way to delay the corruption is undoubtedly to freeze the flesh of the Rat Man, but because he is far away from the world of ice and snow, it is difficult to replenish System's [Frost Breath] power. sky.

It is simply not enough to freeze the flesh and blood of the rat people.

Aura, who has hundreds of times his frost power, can naturally freeze the flesh and blood of the Rat Man, but System thought about the lazy Aura and gave up immediately.

Since Black emerged from the chrysalis, Ola recently even asked Black to help him bring it back from outside to drink dew, and System would definitely not be able to control this lazy deformed butterfly.

It seems that the excess flesh and blood can only be fed to his slime friends.

...

After simply dismembering the Rat Man's flesh and skin and throwing it to his ant people to deal with, System once again came to the entrance of the lair.

After an hour or so of rain, the hail had disappeared and became pure rain.

The grass is fairly permeable to rainwater, and the ground hasn’t accumulated water yet, so System can’t estimate how long the rainwater will last until it reaches the height to submerge his lair.

Turning his gaze, System looked at Shava not far from the nest, and shook his head gently, even though he had come out of the nest, Shava still didn't notice him.

Shava was playing in the rain, or practicing.

Because of the unease from [intuition], System sent Shava at the entrance of the lair to observe whether there was an abnormality around him. After all, Shava could be said to be the highest combat power that System had.

At this point, however, Shava is clearly focused on her own world.

The two blades of Shava's forelimbs slashed against the raindrops falling from the air from time to time, and every time she slashed dozens of times, Shava would stop and show a look of doubt, and after a while, she would adjust slightly and continue. Dancing double-edged.

Since Shava had self-awareness and was named by System, she would practice tirelessly whenever she was free.

Before the second pupation, she practiced the claws, and since she emerged from the pupae a few months ago, Shava has been practicing the double-edged forelimbs.

Is it already so powerful...

System looked at Shava's sharp and uncluttered double-blade, slightly stunned.

When Shava first practiced chopping, System could still use his wisdom to give some pointers to Shava, but he didn't know when System had been unable to guide Shava.

And Shava has relied on her own blind thinking and practiced until now.

Usually, when Shawa chops down some plants or small animals, he can't see it, but watching Shawa chop down the raindrops and flowing water, System can't help feeling a little shocked.

Shava's actions reminded System of the feeling of some martial arts masters in the previous life novels.

System didn't know how to describe it. After all, System didn't know anything about swordsmanship, and naturally he didn't know what happened to Shava's swordsmanship, but it looked very pleasing to the eye.

...

Without disturbing Shava, who was immersed in his own world, System once again flew high into the sky to investigate the surroundings to find the source of his unease.

The bean-sized raindrops kept falling, but System's flight was not affected much, just because of the rain, the sight was blocked, and the scenery in the distance looked foggy, like a dense fog.

In the thick fog of the rain, System saw two blurry shadows appearing two kilometers away from him, and the two figures were gradually approaching his direction.

The figure came from the direction of Lilte Forest, not the Rat Man that System had envisioned.

Because of the partial inheritance of the Golden Acorn, System could feel that one of them was a Druid.

The thick rain completely blocked System's sight, and System could not see the appearance of another humanoid, but based on the body shape and Druid's social relationship, System deduced that it was an elf.

The unease from [intuition] came out again, and it seemed that the source of the unease these days was these two figures.

Is it because of the golden acorn? Or the butterfly possessed by Ola?

System could think of something related to Druids, one of which was the golden acorns he ate. Golden acorns were extremely rare, and maybe even if he ate them, the druids would have the means to sense them.

The second is the remnant soul of Aura, the lord of the glacier. As the culprit who cut down all the oak trees in Lierte Forest, plus the grudges with the old Druid Medlan, it is reasonable for Druids and elves to find Aura. .

How to do?

System's brain was running fast, notifying Shava that it was obviously not a wise choice to fight against these two creatures.

Not to mention whether Shava can defeat these two creatures, even if Shava successfully kills the druid and the elves, more elves or druids will definitely come to trouble him in the future.

System changed the direction of flight while thinking.

As System changed direction and flew, the Druid and another elf figure paused for a while, and then started to move towards System's direction.

A few minutes later, System, who continuously changed directions, also confirmed that the two figures were targeting him.

However, the speed of the two figures chasing him was not very fast. Even if System did not fly with all his strength, he gradually pushed the two figures away.

In a hurry, System had already made a decision. He would lead the Druid and the elves to a gnoll village two hundred kilometers away.

Gnolls and elves had just gone through a war, and it was obviously impossible to let these two hostile creatures roam the plains of Warren.

And System, who continued to fly, gradually felt something odd. Although his [intuition] felt uneasy, this uneasy feeling was strange.

There was a life-threatening feeling, but it was more of an inexplicable feeling.

An hour later, after pulling the Druid and the elves five kilometers away, System could hardly see the two figures in the thick rain.

The Druid and the elves seemed to give up their pursuit of System and stopped.

And System finally figured out why the two figures were looking for him.

System's tentacles heard an inexplicable word coming from afar. It was an Elvish language that System couldn't understand at all.

After the words were passed, the two figures left, seemingly returning to the Liert Forest.

The Elvish language from the druid was calm and kind. Although he couldn’t understand it, System could roughly deduce the meaning of the words.

Perhaps the incomplete inheritance of the Golden Acorn was obtained, and the other party regarded him as a Druid who turned into a bird and flew.

So when I saw him, I didn't want to show up, and I didn't force it. I just showed some kindness to him and left.
