Whether it is a grasshopper or the current appearance of a tentacle monster, there is no obvious difference between Sistum.

And after this pupation, Syst seems to have completely lost the ability to reproduce with grasshoppers, and he no longer has to worry about the situation of zero lifespan due to sudden mating with grasshoppers.

……

Breaking out of the chrysalis, Systm left the empty room, and he saw Shava, who was still guarding outside his empty room, still with a somewhat depressed expression.

It seems that Sava has not fully recovered from his failure to challenge the Lord of the Glacier.

Shava's idea is actually simple, but it is also too simplistic.

Shava grew too quickly from the weak soldier ants, and after the second pupation, the rats that she couldn't beat at one moment could be easily tortured by her the next.

As a weak bug, Shava has a noticeable cognitive impairment with the world's powerful creatures, perhaps due to the fact that Systm usually doesn't teach enough.

In Savra's opinion, the rats that she once couldn't beat were actually similar to the mighty dragons, the dragons were more powerful than the mice, but Sava only thought that the dragons were similar to the snakes and eagles that ate the mice.

That's why Sava charges at the dragon without a brain, thinking she'll be victorious.

Glancing to the side, Systm found two somewhat unfamiliar ant figures, which turned out to be the dozen or so ants that had entered the secondary pupation, and two of them had broken out of the pupae.

The body shape of the two worker ants that have undergone secondary pupation is about six centimeters, and I don't know if they have been affected by Shava, and their body shape is somewhat similar to a simplified version of Shava.

The head of the worm became smaller, and the two pairs of forelimbs, while not forming blades similar to those of Sava, both formed strange weapons, one formed a diamond-shaped spike, and the other formed an arc-shaped weapon that resembled a curved hook.

A closer look at Sister reveals a slight difference in the body shape of the two workers, with the diamond-shaped spikes having thicker limbs and the more slender legs of the workers with hook weapons.

It seems that his inference has been basically correct, and the second pupalization of insects is not uniform, and there will be some differences in the individuals formed.

……

When Systham first appeared, the two worker ants were standing next to Shava, learning Shava's posture to guard.

Unlike Savava, however, the two worker ants have some meat piled up nearby, and they are constantly devouring the flesh of the rats as they guard.

The two worker ants, like Sava, should have entered a period of rapid growth after the second pupation and needed to obtain a large amount of food.

If it is estimated according to the growth rate of Shava, the two worker ants will grow to about 12 centimeters in ten days, and then the body growth rate will slow down, and finally it can grow to about 16 centimeters.

"I can't get enough to eat."

"King, be happy."

The two ants saw that Sistemm sent spiritual messages one after another, and they were still as close to him as ever.

After the two worker ants underwent secondary pupation, their intelligence increased significantly, which is roughly equivalent to the same as before Sawa did not have a second pupation, and is similar to the current queen Linda.

"Have you all gained any abilities? Has the world heard the voice? Heatham asked the two ants.

The two worker ants looked puzzled at the same time.

One of the worker ants thought for a moment and replied to Systham, "I don't know. ”

The worker ant reacted exactly like Sava at the beginning, and after the second pupation, he didn't realize what the abilities he had acquired were at all.

However, another worker ant with curved limbs seemed to think about something, and it tilted its head repeatedly, as if to express something.

A few minutes later, the worker ant with the hook suddenly lifted its pair of hooks—

With a subtle sizzling sound, Systham saw a faint blue electric glow in the worker ant's hook.

It is clear that this worker ant has been given the power of thunder and lightning by the sound of the world.

However, its strength is very weak, but in a dozen seconds, the hook worker ant has been exhausted, no matter how hard it exerts, it can't use the slightest electric light.

……

"Is this going to form a knighthood?"

Looking at the two worker ants that have become a simplified version of Shava, Syst estimates that the remaining dozen or so secondary pupated ants will look similar after they break out of the pupae.

The reason for this is that Sistemm estimated that he obtained the [Spiritual Network] ability by strengthening the [Psychic Transmission] ability a few months ago.

The [Psychic Network] ability is similar in nature to the [Psychic Connection] ability, and with this ability, he can connect the spirits of all ants within a meter and communicate with each other

And after Shava broke out of the chrysalis two months ago, Shava used this [spirit network] ability to transmit the knight's image to each ant more than once.

Because Systham wasn't in the habit of listening to the conversations of these stupid ant people, it wasn't until Sava had sent the images for a long time that he realized the seriousness of the matter.

During that time, there would always be some ants who made strange gestures to him, which made him feel very embarrassed.

Fortunately, because he launched the ant conference and forbade it, and the intelligence of ordinary ants is really not high, they can't remember too many things, and after a few days, there are no other ants playing the game of king's knight with him except for Shava.

But now it seems that the images that Sava transmitted at the beginning, these ants obviously remember it deep down, otherwise they would not imitate Sava to become what he is now.

"Forget it, the Knights will be the Knights, so that's fine."

Shaking his head helplessly, Systm headed to the empty chamber filled with secondary metamorphosis pupae.

Examining the remaining pupae with his tentacles, Systm found that three of the worker ant pupae were about to complete their secondary pupation, and they would break out of the pupa in two or three days at most.

As for the remaining eight worker ant pupa, although there is not much movement, according to the date of the second pupation of these ants, it is estimated that Sisstem will also break out of the pupa one after another within half a month.

Only two soldier ants still have no change in their pupae, which should be the same as Sava, and the second pupation time of soldier ants is much longer than that of ordinary worker ants.

……

These newborn ant riders who have undergone secondary pupation have high food requirements, and ordinary seeds and dried fruits are difficult to meet their growth needs.

They apparently consume large amounts of meat in a short period of time, and Systm roughly estimated that it would consume about half of the meat he had stored.

Feeding on the butterfly larvae he had stocked around him was clearly not worth the cost, and Systm once again remembered his new friend from the past six months, the Frost Slime.

It's best to use the Frost Slime as food for the Ant Knights, as long as you find one more, it's enough for the thirteen Ant Knights to eat for a long time.

Aside from the occasional devouring of ice and snow, the Frost Slime is basically the same staple food as a regular slime, still consisting of some dead sticks.

Frost Slimes are rarely seen on top of the snow, but they usually melt the snow to form unique snow caves, where they live beneath the snow for long periods of time in order to devour dead leaves and some frozen plants.

Since there are no natural predators in the ice world, these frost slimes live very well, and usually one will exist a few hundred meters apart.

However, because these frost slimes are buried deep under the snow, even Sistemm has to use [teleportation] to sense mood swings little by little in order to find these slimes.
