Laws of the Insect Hive

The healing ability of the derived skill [Break Limb Regeneration] is very effective. As Sisterm continued to swallow the eggs, the burning sensation of his forelimb attached to formic acid quickly weakened and subsided. In just ten minutes, his broken forelimb The blood flow stopped, and it condensed into a gray blood scab.

　　 With [Regeneration of Severed Limbs], Systrom is not worried that he will become a lame grasshopper in the future, but he is really worried that the healing speed of his severed limbs is too slow.

　　 If the severed limbs cannot heal for a long time, the blood smell from the wound will undoubtedly attract countless insect hunters and put him in a dangerous situation.

　　 Seeing his wounds congealed into blood scabs, Systrom completely relieved his heart, concentrated on eating insect eggs, and always paid attention to the surrounding movement.

　　 The dark red ant kicked down by Sisterm didn't finally come back, and I don't know if he forgot the way he came here, or carried one of his half-legs back to the ant den for intercourse.

　　 After eating nearly 20 eggs in a row, Systrom's body gradually grew to 1.2 cm, and began to upgrade again.

　　 His body has grown from 1.2 cm to 1.6 cm, and the carapace and chelate teeth on his body have become stronger.

However, compared to his body, the power in his blood vessels this time was not as obvious as his level 3 to level 4, only [Insect Adaptability] (8/21) changed to [Insect Adaptability] (9/21), and at the same time Acquired a derivative skill: [Acid Resistance] (1/4), which should be related to the formic acid released by his feet when he was bitten by ants.

　　[Acid Resistance] (1/4): Derived ability obtained from [Insect Adaptability]. Passive ability. Has a certain resistance to acidic substances.

　　……

　　 As for the talent [degeneration and growth] that Sisterm is most concerned about, there is no change. Sisterm just feels that his blood has become a bit thicker, far less than the previous upgrade.

　　 Because of these upgrades, Sisterm has some speculations about the law of his physical growth.

His derived skills are basically obtained from his talent [Insect Adaptability]. After removing the [Green Camouflage], [Missed Limb Regeneration] and [Insect Intuition] that he originally had in his body, he has obtained [Darkness] in the last two upgrades. Vision] and [Acid Resistance].

　　 The former was because he watched the dark scene outside the crevices of dead leaves the night before the upgrade, while the latter was because his formic acid corroded his forelimbs before the upgrade.

　　 Obviously he relied on [Insect Resilience] to obtain derivative skills related to his experience before leveling up.

As for the improvement of talent [degeneration and growth] and [insect adaptability], although Systrom is not very sure, it should be related to the food he eats. As long as he eats more nutritious and more diverse foods, these two Ability should be significantly improved.

　　 After a short period of thought, because of the intense hunger after the upgrade, Sisterm continued to swallow the delicious eggs.

　　 Because his body became larger after the upgrade, his swallowing speed increased again. In just ten minutes, he swallowed four or five insect eggs. If you follow this speed, he will eat all these eggs before dark.

　　 But just after swallowing the worm eggs, Sisterm's hunger disappeared, the power from the bloodline [degeneration and growth] suddenly flooded his whole body.

　　 The trembling blood told him that it was time for the first degeneration.

　　 Sisterm endured the urge to shed, and tried his best to swallow more eggs.

The sensation from the bloodline and the information from [Self-Information Generation] told him that after molting, his body would fall into short-term weakness and need to replenish a lot of food, so Systrom decided to accumulate as much as possible of the body before molting Nutrient reserves in order to make his transformation more smoothly.

　　 Degeneration is not as fast as possible.

　　 But it didn't take long for Systrom to finally leave without help.

　　 The fishy odor from the eggs finally attracted carnivorous creatures again. They were two giant black-brown ants, 2.5 cm in size.

　　 If it was the little dark red ant, Sisterm might still consider fighting with each other, but in the face of these two huge ants, Sisterm didn't have any consideration and chose to jump away from the back of the leaf.

　　 In the face of the weak, he will bully without hesitation, and in the face of the strong enemy, he will run away without thinking.

　　Sistem is more and more aware of the changes in his personality. Although he still possesses part of the rationality from humans, his way of thinking is closer to bugs.

　　 gently shook the head of the worm, Systrom didn't think much, and concentrated on preparing for his first metamorphosis.

　　……

　　 Grasshoppers, as a kind of insects, belong to the branch of incompletely metamorphic insects. They will not go through the three stages of larva, pupae, and adult like butterflies, ants, flies, and dragonflies.

　　 The body of a grasshopper hatched from an egg is not much different from that of an adult. Their growth requires constant molting, that is, molting.

　　 Some are similar to the molting of snakes and scorpions and spiders, but the molting of insects changes more than that of snakes, scorpions, and spiders. After all, no snake or scorpion can change the structure of the body and grow wings after molting.

　　 After waking up, Sisterm gradually recalled more things from his previous life, including a lot of knowledge about insects. It seems that he has done some research on insects in his previous life.

In his previous life, Systrom seemed to have raised a lot of cold-blooded animals, such as praying mantis and katydid (ps: read zhong, once, grasshopper is also a kind of katydid), carnivorous insects, and arthropods like spiders and scorpions Animals, as well as amphibian frogs and reptile lizards.

　　 In his memory, there is a black-brown tarantula with the size of ten centimeters and the legs spread out nearly twenty centimeters. Because of his mistake, he fed live crickets during the moulting process, and was killed by the crickets.

　　 In this world, the worms shed their skins basically the same as Sisterm’s previous lives, and their body is extremely soft and fragile just after shed their skins.

　　 So what Sisterm has to do now is to find a safe place to degenerate.

　　The instinct from the bloodline guides Systrom to find a shady leaf back as soon as possible to molt.

　　 But although this saves trouble, it is not safe enough.

　　 An hour later, Systrom finally found a tree that resembled a pine tree. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com just stuck a large dead leaf on a branch of this tree.

　　 The space below this dead leaf is the degeneration place that Sisterm is looking for.

The branch chosen by Systrom was more than one meter high from the ground, far away from the numerous ant colonies on the ground, and the tree exuded a faint irritating odor, which made Systrom feel a little uncomfortable and has a weak repellent. The role of worms is to deal with the degeneration of thoughts.

　　 Sisterm quickly got under the dead leaves, and after firmly grasping the plant branches with his feet and limbs, Sisterm began his first metamorphosis according to the guidance of the blood in his body.

　　 His entire epidermal exoskeleton gradually became soft, and the flesh and blood of his body began to absorb the essence of the softened exoskeleton, leaving only a thin layer of dross in the outermost layer.

　　 Sisterm's original exoskeleton gradually formed a larger exoskeleton, and a tingling sensation came from his back, as if something was growing from his back.

　　 His whole body was filled with power from the blood, and he naturally acquired a new derivative skill [Smelly Smelly].

　　……

　　[Smelly Mucilage] (3/7): The ability acquired by the grasshopper after the initial metamorphosis. Can secrete a special fishy liquid to get rid of predators.

　　……

　　 A new organ was formed in his mouth, which can secrete a gland with foul-smelling mucus. By secreting this foul-smelling mucus, the grasshopper can get a chance to escape from many predators.

　　 But compared to the natural changes of the body due to decay, Systrom's attention is focused on the blood of his whole body, and his blood seems to be making an inexplicable sound.
