Laws of the Insect Hive

　　 More than ten minutes later, Systrom successfully used his tentacles to climb out of the snow.

　　 Looking around, the surrounding area is white and the snow has stopped, but the whole world is covered by ice and snow.

　　 The branches above his head made a crunching sound due to the accumulation of ice and snow and the invasion of the cold wind. Seeing this, Sisterm moved his body to a safe area with his tentacles to prevent the branches from being crushed by the snow and hitting his body.

　　 In the process of moving his body, Systrom, who crawled out of the snow, could thoroughly see what he is now.

His body is very uneven due to the shrinking abdomen. The length is only about 17 cm. The exoskeleton and wings covering the upper part of the body have disappeared and looked bald. The antennae seem to have grown again, but only half of the original length. And very fragile.

　　 His broken right eye also grew out, and Systrom could feel the dim light appearing in the right eye. It is estimated that his blind eyes could grow back after a while.

　　 And the strangest thing about his body is the dozens of tentacles that grew out of his original limbs.

　　 He is very ugly now. If he doesn't say it himself, no one will believe that he is a grasshopper. In fact, even if he does, it is difficult for others to believe it.

　　Sisterm felt the cold wind blowing in the forest for a while. The temperature on the ground was lower than the temperature in the snow, but it didn't have much effect on his current body.

　　 [Color change disguise] launch!

　　 The color of Systrom's epidermis gradually became lighter, except for the brown tentacles, other parts of his body gradually turned into a slightly grayish white, acting as a protective color for his body.

　　 Since Sisterm's body weight is very light, he uses his tentacles to control his body without falling into the snow, so walking on the snow does not take much effort.

　　 Trying to walk on the snow for a while, moving his body, Systrom stretched out his tentacles to a tree next to him and started climbing.

　　 The tentacles are different from the feet. There are no small barbs on them. It is a little difficult to use the tentacles to climb trees.

　　 But Systrom now has too many tentacles.

　　 There are fifteen tentacles of varying lengths and full of power, enough for Sisterm to do many things.

　　The shorter tentacles can be inserted into the gaps in the bark as a support, while the longer tentacles can directly wrap the trees to help him fix his body.

　　 It was not very accustomed to use tentacles to climb at first. After a while, Systrom found that these tentacles were not as easy to use as his hooked feet and bounceable thighs, but they were also convenient enough.

　　 After half an hour of practice, Systrom can even move like an ape, moving between the branches of different trees like a swing, while picking frozen leaves with other tentacles and chewing in the mouth.

　　……

　　 The forest after the snow cover has obviously changed its appearance, but comparing the image records in the [Tools Menu], Systrom still found his current position.

　　 is about three kilometers away from his temporary lair. According to his current speed, Systrom estimates that he will be able to return successfully after more than ten hours.

　　Sistem is very worried about the soldier ant Savar and the ant people. The food in the temporary nest can be eaten for a long time, but the weather in the forest is too cold.

The impact of this heavy snow on the forest is stronger than the heavy rain that Systrom had experienced. There was only the sound of the cold wind colliding with branches in the forest, and Systrom could no longer hear any sound of insects. .

　　 Except for an unknown bird flying far away, Sisterm only saw some tiny footprints on the snow, which should have been left by creatures like rabbits or mice.

　　 It seems that although the heavy snow caused a fatal blow to the insects, it did not cause serious damage to these small rodents.

　　Sisterm followed these footprints for a while. By observing the footprints, he found that the owner of the footprints was not big, and he could try to hunt.

　　 But after following the footprints for a while, Systrom found nothing, and the footprints stopped abruptly when they reached the root of a tree. It seemed that the footprint left was a squirrel that could climb on the tree.

　　 But because of this pursuit of the squirrel, Systrom got an unexpected gain-a frozen spider.

　　 This black spider curled up under a branch. It seemed that it had been frozen to death while avoiding the wind and snow.

　　Sistem used his tentacles to tear the spider's abdomen into small pieces and put them in his mouth to chew.

Sisterm thought that this frozen corpse would be very hard, but it really didn’t taste much different from a live spider. The soft fleshy abdomen of the spider would melt in his mouth as long as it was slightly bitten. It's like eating ice cream.

　　 As he swallowed the spider's corpse, a warm current appeared in Sistem's stomach. This nutrient-rich fleshy quality restored Sistem's physical strength a lot.

　　 repeatedly tore the spider's corpse, after hesitating, Sisterm tore off the spider's venom gland and put a small piece in his mouth.

　　 The spider’s venom glands finally failed to injure Sisterm, but made his body feel very comfortable. This strong coffee smell refreshed Sisterm’s spirit and his perception of his surroundings became clearer.

　　……

　　 Eat the spider's corpse bit by bit, Sisterm didn't waste the spider's corpse, he swallowed even the unpalatable fluff on the spider's body.

　　 And just as Sisterm swallowed the last piece of the spider's corpse, his body trembled slightly, [Intuition] Suddenly gave Sisterm a feeling of anxiety.

　　Sistem used his tentacles to turn his body, and a black bird with wings spread out about half a meter appeared at a height of kilometers in the direction of his blindness.

　　 This black bird has a pair of sharp claws, like the beak of an eagle, and a pair of piercing eyes.

　　Sisterm knew that the carnivorous black hawk had spotted him.

　　Using his tentacles subconsciously, Sisterm decisively moved directly under the branches, hiding his body to avoid the attack of birds in the sky.

　　 But it didn't take long before Systrom moved his body out of the branches again, exposing his body to the sight of the black bird.

　　 Because of the ability of [Super Speed ​​Digestion], not long after the spider's body was swallowed, it was quickly dissolved by the digestion in his abdomen to restore his vitality.

　　Sistem stared at the black bird in the sky, his chelate teeth slobbered unconsciously.

　　 This black bird may want to come and prey on him, but he is also hungry...

　　 More than a dozen tentacles of varying lengths, coupled with [Corrosive Mucus] and the newly acquired ability of [frosty breath], gave Systrom the courage to fight the opponent.

　　 And his [intuition] is just some uneasiness, not the kind of tension that is about to suffer a fatal crisis.

　　 I don't know why, Sisterm felt that this black bird was not his opponent. There was no reason or basis. He just felt that this black bird could not beat him.

　　 If he fights with this black bird, one party will die, then the black bird must die.

　　 Sisterm shook his body's tentacles, moved his body to a prominent position in the woods, and kept shaking his body.

　　 The black eagle apparently found him again, and it didn’t take long for him to fall from the sky at high speed and flew towards him——

　　Sisterm noticed that the saliva dripped from his cheek teeth...

　　 Except for the two tentacles wrapped around the branches, Sisterm stretched out his remaining tentacles in the direction where the black eagle rushed to cover his body.

　　 Along with the falling claws of the black eagle, Sisterm's blocking tentacles are like rubber bands and springs, blocking the claws of the eagle from his body.

The black hawk's claws did not touch Systrom's body, and Systrom's body flew up with the touch of the claws and tentacles. At the same time, a cloud of brown gum and a piece of gum were ejected from his mouth. The icy blue breath...

　　The brown gum is faster and hit the black eagle's head first. Sith directly manipulated these mucus gums to wriggle into the black hawk's eyes!

　　 Immediately afterwards, Sisterm's breath of frost and cold followed one after another, and a layer of frost appeared on the black hawk's head...

[Corrosive slime] has a lot of conflict with [frosty breath]~www.readwn.com~Sistem found that when [frosty breath] sprayed on his mucus, his mucus would be frozen The stiffness, loses the ability to squirm.

　　 But this is not important anymore...

Even though these two abilities conflicted a lot, the Black Hawk still suffered a lot of damage, falling from the air on the snow not far away, and thumping constantly, apparently beaten by Systrom's sudden attack. Caught off guard.

　　 Seeing this, Sisterm immediately moved with his tentacles.

He first wrapped his two longest tentacles on the black eagle's wings so that the black eagle could not fly, and then used more tentacles to wrap around the joints of the black eagle's body, along with more than a dozen tentacles. As the black hawk flopped in the snow, the movement range became smaller and smaller...

　　Sistem sprayed [corrosive slime] at the black hawk's head again, and controlled the sticky glue to wriggle toward the black hawk's mouth.

　　Sistem will use this sticky gel to block the Black Hawk's throat, let it suffocate and die!

　　 A little bit of time passed, and the Black Hawk struggling more intensely because of suffocation. Just when Sisterm was about to kill the Black Hawk and he could have a good time, his [intuition] once again felt an inexplicable feeling.

　　 A beam of icy blue light as thick as a human finger suddenly fell from the sky.

　　 This icy blue beam of light penetrated Sisterm's body, freezing the black eagle under Sisterm's body into an ice lump, but Sisterm's body was not affected at all.

　　Sistem found a baby fist-sized ball of ice-blue light floating in the sky two meters away from him. The ice-blue light beam just now is obviously the masterpiece of this ball of light...
