Laws of the Insect Hive

With the help of a large worker ant excavator, System's underground nest was constructed smoothly.

After five days, the worker ant had dug a three-meter-deep nest, and dug two square halls one meter high horizontally underground, where he and other ants lived temporarily.

In addition to the circular shape of the hole, the passage in the nest was forcibly made into a relatively neat square passage by System through the constant communication between System and the big worker ants.

System also decided to build some lethal traps in the passages of the lair, but these days he had no idea how to create the traps.

System could only try to grow more plants at the entrance of the cave.

The plants spawned by System at the entrance of the nest hole were already luxuriant, and even System’s own patrol in the air would have been difficult to find the nest among the overgrown weeds.

However, it is impossible for everything to go as System wished.

The camouflaged lair escaped from the gnolls, the overlords of the grasslands, and the black eagles in the sky, but was still discovered by the wise rat people in the Warren Plains.

In the past two days, System had always found one or two little mice sneaking around his nest to investigate, and occasionally attacked the common worker ants that were out foraging.

These little mice in charge of reconnaissance, System has let Shava and Little Meatball kill close to ten in the past two days, but from time to time, mice will still appear near his lair to conduct reconnaissance.

Although these scout mice objectively provided enough food for System's ant people, it was a bad feeling to be targeted.

In fact, System had never felt this kind of being targeted since the freshmen of Liert Forest.

Even if he lived a cautious life as a larva and was in a dangerous situation all the time, he would not worry that any predators would find him and continue to hunt him down.

Usually as long as he avoids a danger once, then the danger is over.

And this set of the jungle law of Liert Forest does not seem to be fully applicable to these rat people.

From the time he stepped out of the border of Lilte Forest, System had discovered more than a dozen ratmen, and for various reasons, killed four ratmen on the way.

But there must be more than these rat people that System did not find along the way. There should be some rat people who discovered that he was killing the rat people.

As wise rat people, they obviously do not completely believe in the law of the jungle like beasts, but have a set of their own principles and logic.

Obviously, System's previous rat hunters seemed to be too casual and ruthless, which attracted hostility from these ratmen.

At present, the Rat People are constantly sending little mice to investigate, which is obviously testing or monitoring them.

Maybe after a while, some Rat people will behave unfavorably to him.

So System has been thinking about how to deal with these rat people when he has nothing to do in the past two days.

Although the Rat People can make some simple weapons and traps, their physique is usually very weak. Even System himself is sure to kill one with his tentacles and his [Corrosive Slime] alone.

And if it was Shawa or Little Meatball, these ratmen would be even more vulnerable.

Because the two sides could not communicate, System thought of a way to make "Jing Guan".

The so-called Jingguan, which is to pile countless heads into a pyramid shape, is a means of deterring foreigners by the ancients in the previous life of System.

The Jingguan that System wanted to create was to use the heads of the rat people and the heads of ordinary mice to stack up, so as to deter these rat people.

However, System gave up this idea after a little thought. It was good if he did so successfully. If he failed, it would undoubtedly increase the conflict between the Rat Man and him.

Although Rat Men are generally weak, there are exceptions to everything. In this magical world, it is impossible for all Rat Men to be mortals. There will always be a few powerful Rat Men who control magical power.

And under the anger, these rat people may also unite to attack him. After all, there is an underground gathering place of rat people 100 kilometers away.

And he has now reached the upper limit of the level. As long as he thoroughly researches the talent [Body Transformation] of Little Meatball and activates this ability, he will start to strengthen [Pupation], and then perform the third pupation, breaking through Level lock becomes a magical life.

Sith felt that in three months at the fastest, and half a year at the latest, he might turn into a pupae, and he couldn't estimate how long it would take for him to emerge.

In order to avoid unexpected situations, System decided to deal with the Rat Man he had despised before. Because if he didn't deal with it, he might have to take the ant people to migrate again.

The final result of System's consideration was to capture the Rat Man who was commanding these little rats behind the scenes and interrogate him. After all, he still knew too little about Rat Man. his.

Although the [Teleportation] ability could not have an effect on these mammalian creatures, and System did not understand the language of the Rat Man, System had another primitive way, directly using wisdom to learn a foreign language.

Maybe it is difficult for him to learn, but Blake, a talented worker ant, is obviously easier to learn a foreign language.

...

Put the roasted rat on the fire, then use the tentacles to place the roasted rat in the shade to dry.

This baked food can be stored for a longer period of time after it has been air-dried.

Since the igniter was found in the Ratman's cave, System began to use the igniter to bake some meat while resting.

It is a pity that although these barbecued meats smell very good with tentacles, the taste in the mouth is more than a little worse than that of raw meat, and the taste will become very weak.

System basically won't eat it again after eating a little bit. If he really wants to eat barbecue, he might as well just eat some grass.

However, compared to System, his ant people had no obvious differences in these grilled foods, and his son, Little Meatball, even preferred these grilled foods.

Taking out the other roasted mouse from the fire, System's [intuition] finally reappeared that awkward feeling.

After nearly two hours of waiting, System finally waited for a little mouse that came to scout him.

This time, System did not let Little Meatball and Shava catch the mouse, but let Little Meatball drive the mouse, and he flew into the sky to track the mouse.

Contrary to System's expectations, the little mouse only ran a distance of less than two hundred, and suddenly and strangely burrowed into a one-and-a-half-meter-high rock block and disappeared.

The little meat ball that expelled the mouse also had little doubt. Its body gradually changed shape, and then sprayed a black spike against the stone.

Unexpectedly, this thorn is like the little mouse, disappearing into the stone.

A flash of blue halo appeared in System's eyes. Using the ability to recognize objects in the [Tools Menu], System found that the half-meter-sized stone was very different based on the difference in the outline of the objects. Possibly fake.

"Is this an illusion? Or something else?"

System's expression became a little dignified, no matter what it was, it was already a method used by a rat man with magical power.

Informing Little Meatball not to act rashly for the time being, System called Shava, who was still roasting by the fire, to face this unknown existence, Shava was still making System feel more at ease.

After all, Shava's power is extremely special. As long as Shava inspires her power, she will not only greatly increase her strength, but also be immune to most abnormal states, which can be said to be the nemesis of spellcasters.
