Laws of the Insect Hive

v1 Chapter 127: 1.5 years (on)

   With the passage of time, the time recorded in [Tools Menu] has been close to one year, but in fact, the time for him to pupate must be much longer than one year.

   Because of the initial pupalization of the serial dream in a coma, Systrom didn't know how long he had been pupating.

  Sisterm just felt that the liquid formed in his body was gradually solidifying.

  According to the experience of nurturing ant people all the time, Sisterm knew that his pupation was almost over.

   And on such a day, Systrom finally heard the unique buzzing sound again, the sound of the world.

   This time Sisterm did not appear in that white space with the sound of the world, but received an inexplicable power.

   This kind of power made Sisterm tremble unconsciously, and gave Sisterm a very comfortable feeling.

   There was some more knowledge in his mind for no reason, and he finally knew the fundamental difference between so-called mortal things and magical life.

   The mortal thing and the metamorphosis belong to the life level of mortal things.

   The mortal thing can hardly grasp the magical power, or even if the magical power is used, the magical power is extremely weak.

   Transformation can simply absorb or use a certain free energy, and then use magical powers, such as using flames or casting lightning.

This metamorphosis stage can also be called the awakening stage or the apprentice or apprentice stage. The former is aimed at the monsters or warlocks who have awakened the power of the ancestor’s bloodline, and the latter are some intelligent races that learn to understand and use magical powers, such as Master apprentice, or apprentice warship.

   And magical life belongs to a higher level of existence.

  Magic life can still borrow and absorb free energy, and is more skillful in using energy than ordinary things.

   But the biggest difference between magical life and ordinary things is not the use of power, but the existence of magical life represents that magical power itself.

  Even if they don’t absorb or borrow the free energy in the air, they can still exert magical power.

   And after obtaining this information, Systrom finally knew.

   In the Warren Plains where frost energy is extremely scarce, the butterfly transformed into Aura's remnant soul can use hundreds of times his frost energy, indicating that Aura should be nothing ordinary.

   Although only two pupas have been carried out, Aura may have become a magical being.

  ……

   After a brief period of thought, the glue in Systrom's body continued to tremble unconsciously for a few minutes, and his comfortable body finally returned to calm.

  Sisterm knew that his level lock had been broken. As long as he broke the pupa, he would have a brand new upper level limit and become a magic life.

   And his magical power core is [Perception] and [Psychic Transmission].

   Level: 15/?

  Life:? ?

   The information from the [Tools Menu] did not completely determine the upper limit of Sistem's level and the newly acquired life span, but Sistem roughly knows a range.

  The upper limit of his level should be between 80 and 130. The specific value will change according to the completion degree of [Pupalization], and it is still not completely determined.

  His lifespan is the same. He will gain a lifespan between 60 and 250 years and become a relatively long-lived species, but the specific lifespan will also depend on his subsequent [Pupation] progress.

   [Pupalization] The process of gradual solidification of the body from glue to form a new body is particularly important, and it often has a huge impact on insects.

   However, Sisterm didn't know exactly how to condense the body.

   Sisterm can only wait quietly. As long as this wait continues, his pupalization will be completed naturally.

  ……

   A little bit of time passed, just when Sisterm thought he would condense in his body just like that, and then naturally burst out of the pupa.

   There was a buzzing sound in Sistem's mind again, an inexplicable feeling appeared in Sistem's body, and soon a system prompt from [Tools Menu] appeared.

Ding! You get the title "Insect Lord".

  ……

   "Lord of Insects": The title given to Sisterm by an unknown existence. When insects loyal to you are near you, your insects will gain [Fighting High] and [Abnormal Patience].

   Even if there is no real territory, you are absolutely loyal to your people.

  ……

  It didn't take long for him to get the title, and the glue inside the pupae of Sistem squirmed quickly. These glues condensed into his flesh and blood at an extremely rapid rate.

  Sistem discovered that this transformation process of glue and flesh is very close to the [body-glia transformation] ability he wants to activate.

   But without asking Sisterm to think more, a beep interrupted Sisterm's thinking again.

  Sistem just got the inspiration for the activation of [Somatic-Glia Transformation], but he did not expect that his body had already gained this ability during the process of pupation.

Ding! You gain derivative abilities [body-colloid transformation] (11/17).

  ……

  [Body-Glia Transformation] (11/17): Derived abilities obtained from [Pupation], [Body Deformation], [Plague Mucus], [Insect Adaptability]. Part of the body can be transformed with [Plague Mucus].

  ……

   Glancing roughly at the information of [Body-Glia Conversion], Sisterm focused on feeling his body.

   As the body gradually became hard, Sisterm gradually recovered the feeling of the body.

  His tentacles have grown up~lightnovelpub.net~ You can hear the subtle movements around, and he even heard the familiar heartbeat of Shava not far away.

Sisterm’s eyes gradually recovered and became hard. Because of the perspective ability of [Sisterm’s Eye], Sisterm could see through the outer wall of the chrysalis and see the blurry surroundings. The empty room he was in seemed to be Through the transformation of the excavator, it has become even bigger.

  The final stage of the pupa emergence seemed surprisingly fast. The flesh and blood of Systrom's body solidified at an extremely fast speed, and soon Systrom felt the air inside the pupa.

   Sisterm used the ability of [Carapace Spikes] extremely naturally. Spikes grew from the ends of his dozens of tentacles, and the shell of the pupa was easily torn apart by Sisterm.

  Sisterm was finally able to watch his pupation at this time.

Excluding the tentacles, his body can still vaguely find the shadow of the grasshopper, but in addition to the joints of the head, his chest and abdomen joints have disappeared, the whole chest and abdomen are connected together, and the soft abdomen has also appeared. Some scaly shells resembling snakes.

  His appearance has become more hideous than before the pupation, and there are many spikes on the exoskeleton. At the same time, Sisterm found that his body has more tentacles.

Some of these tentacles are ordinary tentacles, some are foot tentacles with carapace. The foot tentacles covering the carapace are thicker, and the ordinary tentacles are slender. These tentacles are evenly covered throughout his body, and some are similar to those of grasshoppers and octopuses. hybrid.

   Sisterm roughly counted, and the tentacles on his feet had become thirty-six.

   did not continue to stare at his body, Sisterm turned his gaze to the figure aside, and at the same time stretched out a tentacle to touch the figure's head.

   "Sorry, it took a little longer to pupate."
