Laws of the Insect Hive

Half a month after the arrival of the rainy season, System had already strengthened his talent [Pupation] to 90% of level 16, and he was only one step away from raising [Pupation] to level 17, and he was about to reach the third time. pupation conditions.

However, System did not solve his fundamental problem, how to completely avoid the possible threat of Druids and Rat Men.

Therefore, System, who had given up on continuing to strengthen his physical abilities, began to take time to study with Black the writings left by the Rat Man wizard, and to study some books about the plague.

The so-called plague spell needs to communicate with Rafal and sacrifice, otherwise it cannot be cast at all.

But not all books describe plague spells.

In fact, most of the plague books by Rat Man wizards have nothing to do with plague spells, but are mainly about research and methods of cultivating plagues.

Although using the plague spell, the target can be infected with the plague in an instant, but this plague is at least ten times weaker than the plague formed by the rat people.

System was also reading the notes of the rat-man wizard Lance before he realized how terrifying the dozen or so bottles of plague reagents he had drank back then. Almost all plagues had the ability to kill gnolls or gnolls within a few hours. The deadly effect of the pig head.

Unfortunately, this plague has little effect on insects.

And System's biggest gain from the Rat Man wizard was a transparent cube with a side length of about five centimeters and a material similar to glass or crystal.

Initially, this crystal was given to Shava by System to play with.

After learning about the writing of the Rat Man these days, System realized that this square object was a magic item, which could function like a microscope and observe microscopic things.

This magic crystal can be activated by most energies. System can be activated by casting Frost energy and Druid's natural power, but his [Perception] and [Teleportation] powers cannot This crystal produces the effect.

This was also the reason why System did not discover that this spar was a magic item.

In addition to this crystal, those skull props that can produce hallucinations, System, are still unavailable. It seems that they need to communicate and obtain the power of the evil god Rafael.

...

System first observed his [Plague Slime] through the magic microscope, and then observed his own blood, mushrooms, and slime.

System found that the microbes that made up the slime gel were like the emotions he felt with [Teleportation], and there was not much difference between them and mushrooms.

On a whim, System decided to use the Rat Man's breeding technology for the plague to try to change the form of the slime and turn the slime into a mushroom, to be precise, to deprive the slime of the ability to jump around Let slimes be obedient as food.

But System took it for granted. Although the slime had a simple shape and structure, it was not a bug that could be transformed by the bloodline of System's tentacles.

Therefore, the method of cultivating the plague by the rat people was constantly tested. System had been remodeling for several days without any results, and the slime's gel was still alive and kicking.

But in the process of cultivating the glowing mushroom, System accidentally let the slime devour the glowing mushroom, producing a fleeting bright light, like a flash.

When he was bored these days, System was trying to understand how slimes glowed.

However, the glowing slime only appeared once, and after that, System could no longer make the slime emit strong light by swallowing mushrooms.

Looking for the video data in the [Tools menu], System didn't find any clues. It seemed that the strong light emitted by the slime was just a coincidence.

In the final analysis, whether or not the slime can emit strong light has no obvious use to the System.

So today System fiddled with it for a while and found no progress, so he ate the research slime and some fluorescent mushrooms into his stomach.

System eventually abandoned the useless study.

...

...

As System had expected, the gradually decreasing rainfall continued for another 4 days, the 20-day rainy season was completely over, the sky became clear, only scattered clouds drifted, and the breeze was not strong.

After the rain, the air is moist and not cold, making the insects feel comfortable.

System can finally use the [Eye of System] to observe things in the distance in the sky, after all, the rain is too strong for the line of sight.

The Ratman gathering place more than 100 kilometers to the west was silent, with only calm water. It seemed that the entire Ratman gathering place was submerged by the rain.

The higher slopes a few kilometers away from the Rat Man gathering place were not submerged by the rain. System saw some vague muddy footprints around the openings of the caves. It seemed that some Rat Man were still alive.

Looking at the Liert Forest in the east, the elves were the same as before. The accumulated rain did not have much impact on them. They still stayed leisurely in the tree house, and some elves were swimming happily with leopards in the water. .

Ow~

A loud bird song interrupted System’s thinking. The grasshopper’s blood is inherently afraid of birds. Even if ordinary birds are no threat to System at all, System will subconsciously. heart beat faster.

It was the black eagle that was common in the grasslands who made the tweet. This black eagle seemed to have spotted System flying in the air and fled in a hurry.

Is it the one you didn't catch last time?

As the overlord of the prairie sky, black eagles would not take the initiative to flee even if they saw System's strange appearance, at most they would not attack him, but this black eagle was obviously full of fear for System.

System did not pursue the flying black eagle either, slowly descending from the sky and returning to his nest.

...

Everything around him has calmed down, there is no obvious movement from the nearby Rat Man, no obvious movement from the elf in Lilte Forest, and there is no uneasy feeling in his [intuition].

Perhaps his [intuition] can only detect things in the vicinity of time, and the surrounding ratmen or druids may also find his lair.

But where can the world be completely safe.

Just like when he was carefully shedding his skin in the Lilte Forest, it was much more dangerous then than he is now.

There will always be various dangers in this world, and he can't wait like this forever.

System decided to pupate in the near future.

The water that was half a meter deep on the grassland was falling very fast, and System estimated that the rainwater accumulated in the vicinity would fall completely in half a month.

If the rat man, the elf, and his [intuition] still did not move after the rain completely fell, System decided to pupate for the third time, breaking the level lock and becoming a magical creature.

In the past ten days, System decided to use the power of the excavator to dig a pupation site deep enough for him, at least tens of meters deep underground.

Although groundwater will appear as long as you dig down to a depth of ten meters, System believes that the digging will have a solution to this problem.
