Laws of the Insect Hive

Maybe it's slime's peculiar life form, or some other reason.

This gelatin has a huge improvement in [molting growth], more than twice the meat quality of the same insect, and even if it is swallowed in large quantities, the effect of the improvement will not be weakened.

In addition, colloid has a greater effect on [degeneration and growth].

System could feel that as he ate the gelatin, the nutrients of the gelatin not only strengthened the power of degeneration in his blood, but also continuously impacted the shackles of his talent [degeneration and growth].

The maximum level of the grasshopper's talent [Metamorphosis Growth] is level 13, but level 13 is not necessarily the limit of [Metamorphosis Growth], just like his [Insect Adaptability] has a maximum level of 21.

If he continues to eat food like this kind of gelatin, his [Metamorphosis Growth] will exceed the upper limit of talent, and it is impossible to reach level 14.

If the upper limit of the talent of [Metamorphosis Growth] continues to increase, there may even be a fourth and fifth molting after the third molting.

By then his lifespan will definitely be further improved.

By consuming slime's jelly, it will undoubtedly find a way out for System's future, allowing him to find a way to prolong his life.

As System continued to devour the gum, he discovered more about the slime gum's qualities.

Not all colloids have an effect on breaking the upper limit of the talent of [Degenerate Growth], only fresh colloids are useful.

Although some colloids that are scattered on the ground and lose their activity still have the effect of improving [degeneration and growth], they do not have the effect of impacting the upper limit of talent level.

System looked at several small slimes that were assembled nearby, and came up with an idea——

Can these little slimes be raised like livestock?

Slimes can survive as long as they devour rotten branches and leaves, so it shouldn't be difficult to cultivate them.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by System.

If he is about the same size as a human now, raising these small slimes should not be a problem, but he is just a big grasshopper now, and it is obviously unrealistic to cultivate these small slimes.

The best thing he can do now is to eat all the jelly that are still alive as quickly as possible.

...

From the ant nest to the slime where the slime is now, there are a total of six groups of colloids on the path, the largest diameter is 6 centimeters, and the smallest diameter is 3 centimeters.

Because the ants in the ant nest were severely damaged, he should not be disturbed by the ants when he ate these glues.

The only limitation is that his mind needs regular breaks.

To completely digest all the gums, System estimated that it would take at least a whole day.

However, System can shorten this time a bit, and has the derivative ability [Hunger Resistance Physique], his stomach can actually hold twice the weight of his body.

Just to keep his body flexible, he's never quite filled his stomach.

If he made full use of the space in his stomach, System speculated that he would be able to eat all these gums in twelve hours.

If he continued for twelve hours, his spirit would become exhausted, but he could persevere.

...

Among the six groups of colloids, the three larger colloids were more active. System was worried that these large colloids would run away, so he kept stirring these three large colloids with his feet, and each time he stirred them. Eat a little after breaking it.

However, in the process of constantly churning and swallowing the large mass of gelatin, System found that the smallest mass of gelatin gradually stopped vibrating and seemed to be about to lose its activity.

In order to utilize these colloids as much as possible, System began to devour small clumps of colloids first.

With the passage of time, the sun gradually set, and the sky became pitch-dark. Siester, who was shuttled back and forth within ten meters, eventually lost a 4-centimeter-sized group of medium-sized gelatin.

After dark, several groups of gelatin suddenly became extremely active. One of the stable, medium-sized gelatin groups suddenly bounced away at some point, and System did not notice any clues.

However, after running away a group of gelatin, the remaining few balls of gelatin are very close, System is much more convenient to move, as long as his stomach digests for about 5 hours, he can remove the remaining three and a half balls. All the gelatin was swallowed.

As he devoured these gums, System felt the glands in his throat gradually become itchy, as if special nutrients were pouring out of his stomach, nourishing the glands in his throat that secrete corrosive mucus .

System speculates that when he reaches level 10, his [Corrosive Slime] will definitely be upgraded again.

However, just as System came up with this idea, the itching of the glands in his throat suddenly increased several times...

Extremely itchy!

System even stopped eating gelatin, and wanted to dig his throat with his forelegs, but his forelimbs were too thick to fit in at all.

System decided to find a grass stick to poke his extremely itchy throat.

While searching for the straw, System suddenly felt a tingling pain in his throat, and the glands in his throat squirmed uncontrollably.

The jelly swallowed by the stomach was digested and absorbed at an unusual speed, and at the same time a special energy passed into the glands in his throat, transforming his glands.

His [Corrosive Slime] (9/13) has been upgraded to [Corrosive Slime] (10/15).

This is the first time that System has improved his abilities outside of the upgrade time, and this time not only increased the level of [Corrosive Slime], but also increased the level cap of [Corrosive Slime].

The glands in his throat became more developed, and the mucus secreted became more viscous and became like glue. Even if he pulled a few centimeters with his feet, the mucus would not be broken immediately.

Although the corrosiveness of the [Corrosive Slime] did not increase significantly, System had a strange feeling about the spitting slime.

These spitting mucus seemed to have life like slime's glue, and System could feel the slight tremor of the mucus on the dead leaves on the ground.

And as System devoured the mucus and recovered it, he even felt the joy of returning to the mother's body from the mucus.

"Could it be that as the level of [Corrosive Slime] increases, can these slimes still have life?"

System felt the mucus quivering from time to time in the glands in his throat, and said to himself in his heart.

If these slimes can be manipulated freely, then the active corrosive slime will undoubtedly become his powerful killer.

The glue-like goo bounces off the ground at unexpected angles, wriggling like necrotic necrosis, corroding weak joints and restricting enemy movement.

System could even imagine him using this slime to kill spiders, and even his natural enemies, birds.

...

...

This foraging for System lasted for more than twenty hours, causing him to be mentally exhausted.

Fortunately, due to the upgrade of [Corrosive Slime], the gelatin in System's stomach was consumed at an extremely fast rate, and it was estimated that he would be able to consume all the remaining gelatin in an hour or two.

Then he could drag his bulging belly and head to the rubble near the pitcher plant to rest.

System, who eats gelatin, has already started to figure out his plans for tomorrow, how he can get more gelatin from slime...
