In the end, Systm didn't find any living critters, but found a dead critter, a zombie rabbit.

The zombie rabbit is still in the same state of movement as it was alive, jumping and moving.

However, its body is too stiff to maintain its previous movement pattern, and it will basically fall from the ground every time it jumps, and then spend more than ten seconds struggling to get up from the falling state.

This zombie rabbit clearly belongs to the failed undead.

Systm also felt the smell of germs infected with [Plague Slime] in the rabbit's body.

This time, Systham didn't ask Shava to help, and directly assimilated the carrion on the rabbit with [Plague Slime].

With the recovery of [Plague Slime], the flesh and blood on the zombie rabbit's body began to fall off little by little, and in just a few minutes, the zombie rabbit turned into a skeleton rabbit, and the rotten flesh on the skin fell off one after another, and the internal organs in its body were also scattered all over the ground.

After that, the skeleton rabbit jumped a few more times, and the blue flame in the skeleton rabbit's brain was extinguished as the blackened brain flowed out.

The skeleton rabbit also lost its movement.

"It seems that just by removing the flesh and blood of zombies, zombies still can't become skeletons."

Systham continued to test the other zombies, and he quickly selected a nearby zombie wolf and a zombie nezumi.

The ending is similar to that of the Skeleton Bunny, when Systm assimilates the plague germs on the zombies and recovers the [Plague Slime], the carrion on the two zombies begins to fall off rapidly.

It didn't take long for the blue flames in the back of the two zombies to turn into skeletons and extinguish, and the two skeletons also collapsed to the ground, completely losing their movement.

……

After the experiments of these zombies, Systham's health returned to full value, the hunger in his abdomen disappeared completely, and he also gained nearly 10% experience.

In some ways, as long as there are enough of these zombies, Systm can level up and power very quickly.

It's a pity that zombies are a species that don't have the ability to reproduce at all, and in the Warren Plains, which has been infected like this, zombies will only get fewer and fewer.

It is obviously unrealistic for Systm to raise his level by recycling the plague from the zombies.

And compared to the level increase, Sistemm values the improvement of his life level, that is, the fourth chrysalis.

He had to be well prepared for the fourth pupation.

The level has been increased to level 60, and the [Chrysalis] talent level has reached level 21, which is the condition for Sistum's next pupation.

The level will be slower and slower in the later stages, but it is only a matter of time before it reaches level 60 over time, but it is obviously difficult for the talent level of [Chrysalis] to continue to increase.

At present, the upper limit of Sistum's [Pupa] talent is level 19, and it is no longer possible to increase the upper limit of [Pupae] talent by swallowing slime gum.

Therefore, Sistemm had to find another thing that would allow him to increase the upper limit of his [Chrysalis] talent, otherwise it would be impossible to continue to improve his life level.

However, the thinking Systm quickly figured it out and calmed down his impatience.

Whether it is the lifting of the [Severance Spell] or the increase of the upper limit of the [Chrysalis] talent, it is obviously not something that can be changed in a short period of time in a hurry.

Even because of the reduction of the [Spell of Severence], he still has a lifespan of more than seventy years, so he shouldn't be in such a hurry.

……

After observing the sky again and finding nothing, Systm decided to return to the lair.

On the way back, Systm accidentally found a black scorpion nearly twenty centimeters in a pile of rubble.

The scorpion, which was supposed to hibernate in winter, burrowed through the crevices of the rocks, apparently the near-zero weather did not affect it much.

Heatham grabbed the scorpion and decided to take it back to the nest and eat it as a snack at night.

But in the process of removing the scorpion's tail needle and several limbs, Heatham noticed something unusual.

He felt the angry and painful emotions of the scorpion.

It seems that after the third pupation, the ability of [Mind Transmission] has increased, so that there are more types of creatures that can feel emotions in Systm.

Systm reckoned that he could now feel the emotions of arthropods, and creatures like centipedes, scorpions, spiders, and crabs could send spiritual messages and communicate.

However, being able to communicate with scorpions or spiders does not give Systm any noticeable use.

Heatham thought about it and quickly killed the unlucky scorpion, and originally planned to save the live scorpion for the night as a supper, but the scorpion that emitted painful emotions was too noisy......

……

……

Returning to the nest, Systham immediately instructed Linda, the queen, to start laying eggs and increase the size of the ants appropriately.

After the second pupation, Linda's egg-laying ability has improved a lot, and more than a dozen eggs with a size of three centimeters have been discharged in just a few minutes.

According to Linda's spiritual message, as long as there is enough food, she can produce nearly 100 eggs of this size every day; And if it were just ordinary ant eggs, she could produce thousands of them in a day.

These eggs are several times larger than those excreted by the queen before her secondary pupation.

You must know that at that time, the queen ant adhered to the concept of Sistum to produce as many high-quality products as possible, so she would only produce two or three eggs a day.

However, after Sistemm [perceived] with his tentacles, he found that these ant eggs were actually not beyond the scope of ordinary ants, and they still belonged to ordinary ants, and they did not have special strength.

It may be related to the ability that the queen has gained from her second pupation, these eggs are already level 5 when they are just born, and the bloodline talent in their bodies is a little better.

These eggs with an initial level of 5 hatch and feed for a period of time to grow, and their pupa will be of a higher level when they become adults.

Heatham speculated that each worker ant larvae could reach about 5 centimeters after becoming an adult worker ant, and as long as they grew slightly, they could reach the threshold of secondary pupalization of 11 without accidents.

As long as the talent of [Pupa" is high enough, these ants will naturally enter the secondary pupation, becoming a worker ant rider of about 16 centimeters, or a large worker ant like an excavator.

After a simple estimate, Systm found that as long as he ate as much as possible to improve the gum of [Pupa] talent, half of these ants would naturally enter the secondary pupation.

With his help, the proportion of ants entering the secondary pupation will rise.

However, in this way, these newborn ants will undoubtedly cause unimaginable consumption to the slime, and it is estimated that breeding 1,000 worker ants at the same time is the limit.

If there are more ants, the regeneration rate of the slime's gum will not be enough, making it difficult for the excess worker ants to pupate twice.

And now in the winter when food is relatively scarce, even if you don't feed ants with slimes, it is difficult to breed too many ants with other foods.

Systham looked at Linda, the queen ant, who was in a dazed state, and finally decided to start at the root of the matter - if you want to improve the [chrysalis] talent of the ant people, you don't necessarily have to let the ant people eat enough slimes, but you can also directly strengthen the queen's ability.
