It took half a month for the black smoke over the Lierte Forest to dissipate.

The sky was still a somewhat gloomy black-grey, but it didn't affect Systm and his ant people much.

Pushing the snow above the cave away, Heatham was once again above the surface.

This thick snow forms a good filter, perfectly blocking the smoke and dust from the air and the entrance to the nest.

Otherwise, this fine black smoke will cover the body, and even if the ant people have adapted to the toxicity of this black smoke, it will gradually block the breathing hole in the abdomen because of this black ash, causing difficulty breathing.

In the past half a month, Systham has seen several waves of gnolls and an abyssal demon who walks with them.

However, apart from the dozen or so gnolls he had encountered at the beginning, even the huge demon that was nearly four meters tall did not notice Sistum's figure.

What is the hell of these strange gnolls and abyssal demons, Sistemm has no way of knowing, and he doesn't want to know.

After some preparation, Systm decided to migrate south with his ant people and the little meatballs today.

A dozen kilometers south will leave the Lierte Forest and enter the Volyn Plains, and then a few hundred kilometers further south to an area free of snow and ice.

……

……

After flying around the nest and finding nothing out of the ordinary, Systm returned to the nest to prepare for the migration with his ant people.

The so-called preparations for migration are actually nothing. In fact, it was to carry some high-energy food so that he and the ants would not starve as they went.

While searching for food in the lair, Systm suddenly found a pale golden nut that had been stored long ago.

It was the pale golden acorn fruit that the leopard had been frozen into slag by the pillar of ice.

Heatham found that the golden acorn, which had never been broken, had grown two or three centimeters in size, and three small leaves had grown on the shoot.

Systm tried to bite the golden acorn shoot with his chelicera.

Compared to the sturdiness of the golden acorn's shell and the incomparably tender leaves of the shoot, Systm easily swallowed a sprout into his mouth.

As Heatham put the golden acorn sprouts in his mouth and chewed them, an extremely strong and wonderful taste exploded in Heatham's mouth.

Seemingly sweet, but also seemingly not, Systham felt as if he was in the middle of the Lillt Forest in the summer.

For a moment, Heatham felt as if he was in nature, as if he had entered the old druid's state of oneness.

Before he knew it, Systham ate all the sprouts grown from the golden acorn into his mouth.

And as Syst ate all the sprouts of the golden acorn, Heatham subconsciously aimed his chelices at the body of the golden acorn.

As a result, the Acorn Fruit, which even the Goblin Giant's Frost Axe could not smash before, was effortlessly swallowed into the stomach by Systm.

It only took a dozen seconds for Syst to go from eating the sprouts of the golden acorn to eating the whole golden acorn, but it seemed as if he had been sitting quietly in the forest for decades.

These decades of sitting still are not boring, but let Syst experience all kinds of different feelings, so that he unconsciously understands a lot of indescribable knowledge.

Bite! You gain the ability [Healing Power].

Bite! You gain the ability [Spawn Plants].

Bite! You've reached your experience limit.

The chime from the [Tools Menu] brings back to life the delicious Sisttm that is still in the aftertaste.

This golden acorn not only gave Syst a lot of insight and knowledge, but also gave Systm a lot of experience points.

Because Sistum's level has reached the upper level, the extra experience has begun to escape.

Systm immediately used the [Ability Enhancement Technique] to strengthen his talent [Chrysalis] with these experiences that were about to escape.

It didn't take long for the talent level of Sistem's [Chrysalis] to increase from level 13 to level 16, and he only needed to raise one more level to reach the condition of the third pupation.

This golden acorn fruit was far more powerful than the blue fruit that the grasshopper queen Kun had eaten, and not only was it extremely rich in experience, but it also gave Sistemm a lot more things in his mind.

Systham also learns what the golden acorn is.

It can be said that this golden acorn is the key to becoming a druid.

Some druids who have undergone special rituals will leave behind such a golden acorn after their death, as a legacy for the rare druids.

The leopard was indeed a druid, but not an old druid that Systm had encountered, but a druid named Philael, who had left the fruit behind after his death.

This kind of golden acorn also requires a special ceremony to pass on the knowledge and perception contained in it, and one of the conditions for holding the ceremony is the germination of the golden acorn.

Normally, even if the golden acorn sprouts, at most the sprouts formed by the golden acorn can be eaten, but the sprouts and seedlings of the golden acorn are at most nutritious and do not have other effects.

As for the golden acorn itself, it cannot be digested and absorbed at all, and even if it is forcibly broken and eaten, it will not cause other beings to have any feelings.

However, when this golden acorn encountered a strange power in Sistum's talent [Numerical Code] and [Insect Adaptability], it caused a strange reaction, causing Sistemm to unconsciously absorb a lot of druid's perception and knowledge.

He also finally knew why the old druid had a disgust for bugs, and even what the owner of the predecessor of the little meat ball was, and Sistemm also found some clues in this knowledge.

However, using the [Numerical Code] ability to receive perceptions is not as good as the inheritance of the Druids, and Sistemm has lost most of his things because of this.

……

[Healing Power] (7/21): A derivative ability obtained from [Numeric Code], [Insect Adaptability], and Golden Acorn. Use the power of nature to heal life.

[Growing Plant] (9/18): A derivative from [Numeric Code], [Insect Adaptability], and Golden Acorn. Harness the power of nature to catalyze the growth of plants.

……

A faint green glow appeared from Sistum's tentacles, and this green energy was the same power that the old druid used to heal the big bird.

Heatham initially mastered this ability, and he could only use it for more than ten seconds.

After briefly testing these abilities for a while, the ant people of Systm have basically prepared some of the migrating meat.

After another round of the sky, Heatham set out on his way with 42 ant people and 15 pupae and began to travel south......

……

Having left Sistum, he didn't know that as he ate the golden acorn, a great crisis passed him......

Just a few hours after Sistemm had walked with the ant people, the old druid that Sistemm knew so well came to his lair.

The old druid frowned and glanced around for a moment, his expression becoming a little strange.

The old druid's body gradually changed shape, and finally formed a giant wolf that was nearly three meters in size.

After sniffing the ground with his nose for a while, the giant wolf seemed to have noticed something and began to move south.

But just a few hundred meters after the old druid had run, he suddenly stopped and reversed course, running in the direction of the Lierte Mountains......
