Laws of the Insect Hive

Of System's six legs, only the right forelimb and the middle left leg were still intact.

For some unknown reason, the tentacles in System's right forelimb were useless, and it seemed that it was completely damaged by freezing, making it completely unusable.

System controlled his remaining two legs to adjust the angle of his body, preparing to aim the glands in his throat at the worm pupae in the distance and spray his [Corrosive Mucus].

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

With a slight click, the crack in the right forelimb joint further widened.

Unfortunately, his right forelimb was broken off from his body, and only one tendon remained at the base of the foot, which was still attached to his body.

And when his right forelimb fell off his body, the three tentacles in the fallen foot suddenly sprang out from the round hole of the forelimb, and swayed like an earthworm on the ground.

After staring at the stump and tentacles that were crawling on the ground for a while, System shook his body involuntarily, and picked up his stump with the last remaining leg.

System put the stump into his mouth and chewed it.

System once again noticed an abnormality in his emotions.

After eating his own feet, not only did System not feel any discomfort, he actually enjoyed the taste of his own feet.

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

"Maybe when the tentacles grow in the future, you can eat some when you have nothing to do. It won't take long for you to have [regenerating a severed limb]..."

Strange thoughts appeared in System's mind, and he really couldn't understand how he could even think about these things at such a threatening juncture.

However, eating the large pieces of his own scattered body is undoubtedly an excellent way to restore some life to his body. ******* Tum gave up the first action on the worm, and instead used the only remaining legs and abdomen to twist He moved his body to the other side, where there was half of his broken eye and a broken and trembling thigh.

At the same time, the glands in System's throat secreted [Corrosive Mucus] again, and he manipulated the mucus to squirm, wrapping the small debris of his body on the ground with the mucus, as well as the blood that had flowed out of his body before. .

This kind of food that fell from his body, System did not intend to waste it, and decided to eat it all and recycle it.

Thighs, half a wing and a fragmented wing exoskeleton, half an eye, and a limb...

System found that his body was fragmented and incomplete. Some of the remaining stumps were too far away from him. System did not intend to take any effort to recover them.

By eating and digesting this part of the body, System's vitality began to gradually increase, eventually returning to 43%, and then stabilized.

All the wounds on System's body felt itchy, but within half an hour, all the wounds on his body condensed into blood scabs.

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

but now……

System knew that what came next was the key to his survival.

The snow and ice falling from the sky showed no signs of stopping, but instead got bigger and bigger.

With the passage of time, the temperature became lower and lower, and there were scattered white colors on the ground. The snowflakes that fell at the previous moment had not completely dissolved, and the snowflakes that fell at the next moment had already fallen from the sky. Melted snow cover.

System knew that the time left for him was running out, and the temperature in this forest would likely drop below zero at night.

With his current body, it is impossible to return to the temporary nest several kilometers away.

There is only one thing he can do at this time, that is to use the insect pupae not far away to activate the [cold resistance] in the [insect adaptability].

It is a pity that his body has no tentacles that can confer the ability of [sensation] at this time, and System does not know whether he can succeed in this ability of [cold resistance].

Furthermore, System did not know exactly how much effect this [Cold Resistance] would have.

But anyway, he has no other choice.

...

System struggled to move in the muddy pile of dead leaves. He found the right angle and sprayed the [corrosive mucus] from the glands in his throat.

The angle of the mucus spray was a little skewed, and it was still about three centimeters away from the chrysalis.

However, after the third molting, System's distance to manipulate the mucus has increased significantly. He can already control the mucus to move for about three minutes at a distance of two meters, and the mucus will not lose its activity.

The caustic mucilage glue easily melted the threads that held the pupae to the bark, and the taupe successfully dropped from the tree.

The fallen pupae were very lucky and rolled in the direction of System. When the pupae finally stopped, it was only a dozen centimeters away from System.

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

The pupa was uneasy because it fell to the ground, and the pupa was twisting from time to time.

Like eating insect pupae in the past, System secreted [Corrosive Mucus] to corrode the sturdy outer skin of the pupae, and the brown shell of the pupae was quickly corroded into a pale yellow color.

Watching the chrysalis corroded by mucus, System stopped what he wanted to continue.

If he just wants to eat this worm pupae, then he just needs to bite it with his fangs and suck it in a big mouth.

However, checking the pupae and activating the [cold resistance] with reference to the ability in the pupae, it is really difficult for him to complete it without tentacles.

After some thought, System broke the blood scab on the remaining half of his thigh, and then inserted the half of his thigh with blood into the body of the chrysalis.

Using the blood flowing in his own body to feel the blood of the opponent's body was the last method System used.

After the third molting, in addition to possessing super-perceptive tentacles, his blood also has a certain perception ability.

System felt concentrated...

He had already wrapped and bound similar pupae twice before, and System's detection was much easier than he thought.

In just a few minutes, System felt the ability of [cold resistance] in the chrysalis.

Perhaps in response to the old saying that grasshoppers can’t roam for a few days in the autumn, System found that the bloodline of grasshoppers and [cold resistance] were extremely poorly matched, so it seemed that grasshoppers were not suitable at all. Overwintering insects.

If it wasn't for him having completed the third molting, he would not have the possibility of acquiring this ability at all...

...

...

Due to the sudden return of the Glacier Lord, the Lilt Forest began to fall snow and ice.

After five days and four nights of snow and ice, the Lierte Forest was covered in silver like the Lierte Mountains, and the entire forest was covered with a half-meter-thick layer of snow.

System, who was conducting in-depth research with the chrysalis, was also buried under the thick snow. Since System inserted half of his thigh into the chrysalis, his body had remained still, as if he had already die.

However, on this very day, a slight movement suddenly appeared in the snow above the buried System, and a brown tentacle protruded from the snow...
