Laws of the Insect Hive

Chapter 55: Survive from desperate situation (part 2)

  Sistem's six legs, only the right forelimb and the middle left leg are still intact.

   For unknown reasons, the tentacles on the right forelimb of Systrom lost its effectiveness. It seemed that it was completely damaged by freezing and was completely unusable.

  Sisterm controlled his only two limbs to adjust the angle of his body, preparing to aim the glands in his throat at the pupa in the distance and spray his [corrosive slime].

   However, as Sisterm moved his right forelimb, he discovered that the joint at the base of his seemingly intact right forelimb had an obvious crack.

   Accompanied by a slight clicking sound, the crack in the joint of the right forelimb expanded further.

   His right foreleg was unfortunately broken from his body, and there was only one muscle at the base of the foot that was connected to his body.

   And when his right foreleg fell off from his body, the three tentacles in the detached leg suddenly rushed out of the round hole in the foreleg, and fluttered on the ground like an earthworm.

   stared at the wriggling stump and tentacles on the ground for a while, Sisterm shook his body involuntarily, and picked up his stump with the last leg left.

  Sisterm put the stump in his mouth and chewed.

  Sistem once again noticed an abnormality in his emotions.

   After eating his own feet, Sisterm didn't feel any uncomfortable emotions, but he really enjoyed the taste of his own feet.

  Especially the active tentacles in the feet and limbs. It can be said to be one of the best foods that Systrom has ever eaten. It is smooth and elastic, somewhat similar to cheese, but the taste and taste are much better.

   "Maybe when the tentacles grow out in the future, you can eat some when you are fine, and it won’t take long to regenerate after having [Break Regeneration]..."

   Strange thoughts appeared in Systrom's mind. He really couldn't understand that he could still think about these things at such a worrying moment of life.

   But eating the large scattered bodies of himself is undoubtedly an excellent way to restore some life to his body.

Systrom gave up on the chrysalis first, and instead used his remaining legs and abdomen to twist his body to move to the other side, where he had his broken half of his eyes and a broken thigh that quivered from time to time. .

At the same time, the glands in Systrom's throat again secreted [corrosive mucus]. He manipulated these mucus to squirm, wrapping the small pieces of his body on the ground with the mucus and the blood that had flowed out of his body before. .

  Sistem didn't intend to waste this kind of food that fell from his body, and decided to eat it all and recycle it.

   thighs, half of wings and broken wing exoskeleton, half of eyes and a foot...

   Sisterm found the body fragments incomplete, some of the remaining stumps were too far away from him, Sisterm didn't plan to take the trouble to recover, and some of them might be lost during the collision with the branches, and he did not find them.

   By eating and digesting this part of the body, Systrom's vitality began to gradually rise, eventually recovered to 43%, and then stabilized.

  Sistem's body wounds began to feel itchy, but within half an hour, all the wounds on his body had condensed into blood scabs.

   His body has completely escaped from the danger of life. If it is still summer, as long as he pays attention to avoiding predators, he is sure to restore his body to its original state.

but now……

  Sisterm knew that the next step was the key to his survival.

   The ice and snow falling in the sky showed no sign of stopping, but it was getting bigger and bigger.

With the passage of time, the temperature became lower and lower, and scattered white colors appeared on the ground. The snowflakes that fell in the previous moment have not completely dissolved, and the snowflakes in the next moment have fallen from the sky. Covered with melting snowflakes.

  Sisterm knew that there was not much time left for him, and the temperature in this forest might become below zero at night.

   With his current body, it is impossible to return to the temporary lair a few kilometers away.

   There is only one thing he can do at this time, that is, use the pupa not far away to activate [Cold Resistance] in [Insect Adaptability].

   It's a pity that his body has no tentacles that can give [sense] the ability, and Systrom doesn't know whether he can succeed in this [cold resistance] ability.

   And the effect of obtaining this [cold resistance] is not very clear to Sisterm.

   But in any case, he has no other choice.

  ……

  Sistem struggled to move his body in the muddy pile of dead leaves. He found the angle and sprayed [corrosive slime] from the glands in his throat.

   The angle of the slime spray is a bit crooked, and it is about three centimeters away from the pupa.

   After the third decay, Systrom's distance to control the mucus has increased significantly. He can already control the mucus peristalsis from two meters away for about three minutes, and the mucus will not lose its activity.

   The corrosive mucus glue easily melted the silk thread that fixed the chrysalis on the bark, and the gray-brown one successfully fell from the tree.

   The fallen chrysalis was very lucky to roll down in the direction of Sisterm. When the pupae finally stopped, they were only ten centimeters away from Sisterm.

  Sistem just twisted his body and crawled for less than five minutes before he came to the chrysalis.

   Because this worm pupa fell to the ground, there was an uneasy emotion, and the pupa writhed from time to time.

  Sistem, like eating insect pupae in the past, secreted [corrosive slime] to corrode the pupa's firm outer skin, and the brown shell of the pupa was quickly corroded into a pale yellow color.

   Observing the chrysalis corroded by the slime, Systrom stopped what he wanted to continue.

   If he only wants to eat this chrysalis, he just needs to bite with his chelating teeth and take a big mouthful.

   But check the chrysalis and activate it according to the ability in the chrysalis [cold resistance~www.readwn.com~ It is really difficult to complete without tentacles.

   After some thoughts, Sisterm broke the blood scab on the remaining half of his thigh, and then inserted the blood-drenching half of his thigh into the pupa's body.

   Use the blood flowing in his own body to feel the blood of the other's body, this is the last method used by Systrom.

   After the third degeneration, in addition to possessing super-sensing tentacles, his blood also possesses a certain degree of perception.

  Sisterm feels intently...

   had already wrapped and bound similar chrysalis twice before, and Systrom's test was much easier than he thought.

   Within a few minutes, Systrom felt the [cold resistance] ability in the pupa.

Perhaps in response to the old saying that the grasshopper can't jump for a few days after autumn, Sistrom found that the bloodline of the grasshopper and [cold resistance] are extremely low. It seems that the grasshopper is not a suitable one at all. Overwintering insects.

   If it hadn't been for him to have completed the third degeneration, he would have no possibility of obtaining this ability...

  ……

  ……

   Due to the sudden return of the glacier lord, snow and ice began to fall in the Lierte Forest.

   After five days and four nights of snow and ice invasion, the Lierte Forest is as silver as the Lierte Mountains. The entire forest has been covered by a layer of snow that is half a meter thick.

Sisterm, who conducted in-depth research with the chrysalis, was also buried in the heavy snow. Since Sisterm inserted half of his thigh into the body of the chrysalis, his body has remained still. Die.

   However, on this day, there was a slight movement in the snow above the buried Sisterm, and a brown tentacle stretched out from the snow...
