Laws of the Insect Hive

The torrent of locusts gathered together is like the picture of blood inheritance, flying in groups over the forest.

Maybe they will also fly over rivers and lakes, over mountains and rivers, and maybe even reach the plateau snow.

But that doesn't matter anymore...

After following the locust swarm for more than ten minutes, System's speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped.

The path he was going to take was ultimately different from those of his locust kind.

Looking at the Queen's figure from a distance until it was blurred, System began to return to the forest he was familiar with.

"Because the grasshoppers have destroyed the surrounding plants, it looks like I'm going to find a new foraging spot."

"Unfortunately, the warehouse where the food is stored is going to be abandoned."

"But it doesn't matter, just find another warehouse like this. I don't know if the Queen's trip will be as she expected. I hope everything goes well for her..."

Dispelling his sentimental thoughts, System shook his head and flew down from the forest.

System turned on [Information Reading] habitually to detect the surrounding movement.

He found that there were hundreds of ants on the ground biting the corpse of a mouse, and System jumped over it. This was the first time he saw a mouse after the rainstorm.

This mouse looks very fresh, it should have just died not long ago, it is obviously a mouse that survived after the rainstorm...

System wanted to snatch some mouse meat from the ants, and at this moment, a wave of peace and tranquility came from afar.

It is the direction in which the torrent of grasshoppers converges.

Feeling this peaceful aura that was very close to nature, a figure appeared in System's mind, the old Druid.

With this special fluctuation, the cicadas that had been ringing in the forest suddenly quieted down.

System watched a blue dragonfly that was parked on a leaf bud of a plant suddenly fly up not far away, and flew in the direction of that peaceful atmosphere.

At the same time, hundreds of red-brown ants on the ground became confused near the mouse carcass. They wanted to go to the source of the peaceful atmosphere, but were unwilling to give up the food they found.

This peaceful aura has a strong attraction to bugs, even more than ten times stronger than the kind of fluctuations emitted by the grasshopper queen.

"The old Druid? What is he going to do?"

Jumping to the tip of the branch, in System's blurry vision, a very unusual green halo appeared in the distant forest.

"what is that?"

System hesitated for a moment, spread his wings, and flew in the direction of the green light.

As the distance kept getting closer, after a few minutes, the locust swarm that had gone away before became clear again in System's eyes.

Countless grasshoppers, as well as some dragonflies, cicadas, and butterflies, surround a giant green light ball about ten meters in length.

The grasshoppers formed tornadoes constructed by torrents and flew freely near the light ball, and at the same time they exuded indescribable excitement.

The grasshoppers went on their carnival again, even more intensely than at noon.

The grasshoppers surrounded the green light ball, sucking the energy of the light ball, they became more excited, and their flight speed became significantly faster.

This kind of light ball also had a great attraction to System, and System was a little moved.

Is it because he swallows the energy of this light ball, he will become more flexible like the grasshoppers?

System was ready to fly over to taste the taste of this green energy.

But when he opened his wings and flew halfway, System suddenly stopped.

He noticed the figure below the green ball of light.

He saw the emotionless expression on the old Druid's face, which was completely different from the smile when he rescued the big bird.

For a moment, System was stunned.

He suddenly understood.

He understood what was wrong when he saw the good-hearted old Druid helping Big Bird the second time he met the old Druid.

Under the maimed bird, there were actually two ants who were also seriously injured.

While rescuing the birds, the old druid chose to ignore the injured ants.

People like to choose cats and dogs as pets. When they see other people mistreating their pets, they even regard them as scum, but they can kill flies and mosquitoes without any burden.

After trying to think in a different position, System suddenly understood what the old Druid was doing.

In the heart of the old Druid, the grasshoppers may not be natural creatures worthy of closeness, but the locust plague that destroys nature!

If the Druid's nature and duty is to guard the harmony of nature, then this Druid's actions at this time are self-evident.

This green ball of light with a diameter of ten meters is probably similar to the scent of grass and trees emitted by slimes.

is a trap! !

...

"But, they just want to explore this vast world!"

In System's line of sight, several thin grasshoppers had already appeared because they lost their strength and fell from the sky. With their wings open, they remained motionless and fell from the air like snowflakes.

And the other grasshoppers are still having a carnival without knowing it...

Unwillingness, loneliness, resentment, or other emotions filled System's heart.

System's gaze towards the old Druid was completely different.

[Information reading] Activate!

There seemed to be a blue halo in System's compound eyes, and he searched for the Queen of Grasshoppers. If there was anyone who could stop the grasshoppers from killing them at this time, it would be the Queen.

And while System was searching for the Queen, a figure rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed, grabbing him firmly with his feet.

Before System could find the Grasshopper Queen, the Grasshopper Queen spotted him first and caught him.

The Grasshopper Queen was very fast, and even if she grabbed System, her flight speed was two or three times that of System's full-force flight.

She took System away from the green light ball at a very fast speed...

"Don't... approach, that green light... is dangerous..."

The Grasshopper Queen sent a spiritual message to System, and her spiritual message revealed many worries.

"Dangerous? Are you..."

The Grasshopper Queen did not respond to System's spiritual message, but just grabbed System and escaped...

With the continuous flight of the grasshopper queen, System felt the grasshopper queen's body twitching from time to time, and the frequency of the twitching became higher and higher...

The Grasshopper Queen had apparently fallen into the old Druid's trap just like those grasshoppers that fell from the sky.

System twisted his body hard, but found that he couldn't break free from the grasshopper queen's legs.

In this way, as the frequency of the grasshopper queen's body twitching increased, after a few minutes, the grasshopper queen's speed gradually decreased...

In the end, she could no longer maintain the state of flight, and the two grasshoppers fell from the sky to the ground.

Even if she fell from the air, the Queen's legs were still holding System tightly.

System twisted his body again, but suddenly found that a strange force was coming towards him from the body of the Grasshopper Queen.

There is a numb and refreshing feeling from the body, which is somewhat similar to the feeling of the body when the level is increased, but it is completely different.

This power seems to act on his spirit, a mysterious power.

Pictures and images came through System's mind.

The perspective of the picture comes from a small withered yellow grasshopper.

Unlike System, this little grasshopper’s compound eyes have much stronger vision than System’s, and it can even see the subtle changes in the clouds in the sky.

From escaping from an ant's claws when he was born, to growing after eating leaf buds, the experience of this little grasshopper reminded System of his cautious life when he just woke up.

This little grasshopper often looks at the clouds in the sky, and likes to jump to the top of the trees to look around, even if he is almost killed by a bird attack...

The scenes were linked together, and in just a few breaths, System had watched the grasshopper’s experience for several months.

At the end of this image, System also saw himself, a green-tailed grasshopper who always liked to shake the tentacles on his head to think.

System could feel what the heroine in the image, the grasshopper queen, was seeing in his heart...

Following the end of the video transmitted by the Grasshopper Queen, the Grasshopper Queen's legs that were gripping System's body slowly loosened.

System's experience bar reached the peak of level 10 at an unknown time, and obtained a special ability [Psychic Transmission], as well as the derived ability [Spiritual Connection] attached to [Psychic Transmission].

...

[Teleportation] (6/22): A special talent gifted by Kun to System. The ability to communicate with all things, and to transmit some special powers.

[Spiritual Connection] (6/11): Derived ability obtained from [Psychic Transmission]. It can connect the spirit with the other party, so that the other party has the ability to temporarily communicate with you.

...

The grasshopper queen's body twitched slightly, her legs were unable to move, and only half of the slender antennae turned towards System, but no matter how much she turned the antennae, she couldn't touch him.

System leaned over and touched his tentacles with the queen’s tentacles, he knew that the grasshopper queen wanted this.

Using his newly acquired power [Spiritual Link], System reconnected his spirit with that of the Grasshopper Queen.

"...I couldn't see, that vast world..."

The golden compound eyes of the Grasshopper Queen were a little dim, she stared at the clouds in the sky and let out a soft sigh, then she turned her dim eyes at System again.

"Can you help me with one thing..."

System immediately responded: "Yes, as long as I can do it."

"I know you, like meat, so eat me, take me to see, to see..."

With a gust of breeze, the tentacles of the grasshopper queen drooped down, and her body was completely motionless...

"you……"

System sent a message to [Spiritual Link], but the other end of [Spiritual Link] had no object.

His body trembled slightly for some reason, and all sorts of inexplicable emotions poured out of his heart unconsciously.

System tried his best to stop his trembling body. According to the queen's last wish, he slowly aimed the fangs in his mouth at the queen's corpse, opened it, closed it, opened it again, and closed it again. repeatedly...

System wanted to drop the claws, but found that he couldn't do it at all.

System finally dropped his claws.

He used his fangs and feet to dig into the ground, and he kept digging!

He's going to bury her body...
