Laws of the Insect Hive

The black smoke shrouded in the sky above Lilte Forest lasted for half a month before almost dissipating.

Although the sky was still a bit gloomy black and gray, it didn't have much impact on System and his ant people.

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

These thick layers of snow form a good filter, perfectly blocking the smoke and dust from the air and the entrance to the nest.

Otherwise, this fine black smoke covers the body, and even if the ant people have adapted to the toxicity of this black smoke, this black ash will gradually block the breathing holes in the abdomen, causing difficulty in breathing.

During the past half month, System saw several waves of gnolls one after another, as well as an abyss demon who walked with the gnolls.

However, apart from the dozen or so gnolls that he encountered at the beginning, even the gigantic demon nearly four meters tall did not notice System's figure.

System had no way of knowing, and did not want to know, what was so tricky about these grotesque gnolls and abyss demons.

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

If you go south for more than ten kilometers, you will leave Lilte Forest and enter the Warren Plain, and then continue to go south for a few 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 unusual, System returned to the nest to prepare for migration with his ant people.

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

While searching for food in the nest, System suddenly discovered a pale golden nut that had been stored a long time ago.

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

System found that the golden acorn, which was once unbreakable, had grown two or three centimeters of tender buds, and three small tender leaves had grown on the tender buds.

System tried to bite the young bud of this golden acorn with his claws.

Compared to the firmness of the golden acorn shell and the tender leaves of the bud, System easily swallowed a bud in his mouth.

As System chewed the golden acorn sprout into his mouth, an extremely strong and wonderful taste burst in System's mouth.

It seemed sweet, but it seemed not, System felt as if he appeared in the Liert Forest in summer.

In an instant, System felt as if he was in the middle of nature, as if he had entered the state of harmony between heaven and man that the old Druid had before.

Before he knew it, System ate all the buds from the golden acorn into his mouth.

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

As a result, the acorn fruit, which even the Goblin Giant's Frost Axe couldn't break, was swallowed by System effortlessly.

It only took System ten seconds from eating the buds of the golden acorns to eating the whole golden acorns, but System seemed to feel like he was sitting quietly in the forest for a few minutes. ten years.

Sitting in silence for the past few decades was not boring, but allowed System to experience various insights, allowing him to unconsciously understand a lot of inexplicable knowledge.

Ding! You gain the ability [Healing Power].

Ding! You gain the ability [Spawn Plants].

Ding! Your experience points have reached the upper limit.

The sound from the [Tools menu] brought the delicious System back to reality.

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

Because System's level had reached the upper limit, the extra experience began to escape.

System immediately used [Power Enhancement] to strengthen his talent [Pupation] with the experience that was about to escape.

It didn't take long for System's [Pupation] talent level to increase from level 13 to level 16 in a row, and just by one more level, he would be able to meet the conditions for the third pupation.

This golden oak fruit is far more powerful than the blue fruit that the grasshopper queen Kun once ate. Not only was it extremely rich in experience points, it also gave System a lot of things in mind.

System also learned what exactly this golden acorn was.

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

Some Druids who have undergone special rituals will leave such a golden acorn after their death as an inheritance of the rare Druid family.

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

This kind of golden acorn also needs 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 buds formed by the golden acorn can be eaten, but the young buds and seedlings of the golden acorn are rich in nutrients at most, and will not produce other effects.

As for the golden acorn itself, it cannot be digested and absorbed at all, and even if it is forcibly broken and eaten, it will not make other beings feel anything.

However, when this golden acorn encountered a peculiar power in System's talents [Numerical Code] and [Insect Adaptability], it caused a wonderful reaction, which made System unconsciously absorb a lot of virtues. Rui's perception and knowledge.

He also finally knew why the old Druid was disgusted with bugs, and even what the former owner of Little Meatball was. System also found some clues in this knowledge.

However, using the ability of [Numerical Code] to accept perceptions is not comparable to the inheritance of the Druid family, and System has lost most of the things because of this.

...

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

[Growth Plant] (9/18): Derived ability 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 on System's tentacles, and this green energy was the same power that the old Druid used to save Big Bird.

System had initially mastered 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 the migration.

After going to the sky again, System took his 42 ant people and 15 worm chrysalis on the road and started to travel south...

...

Not knowing that he had left System, as he ate the golden acorn, a huge crisis passed him by...

Just a few hours after System walked with the ant people, the old Druid that System was very familiar with came to the vicinity of his lair.

The old Druid frowned and glanced around for a while, and 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 found something and began to move toward the south.

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