Could it be that he was killed by a fallen dead branch?

The forest is full of dangers for weak bugs, and two months ago a worker ant was crushed to death by a huge dead branch covered with snow.

But the last time it was hit at the same time, there were more than a dozen other ants that were hit at the same time, and it was obviously not realistic to kill five ants at the same time in the soft snow.

Something extraordinary must have happened in this.

Asking Black to tell the ants in the nest not to go outside, Systham decides to take Sava outside to find out why the ants are missing.

However, when Systham finds Shava, he finds Shava eating.

There are advantages and disadvantages, although Sava has become a half-knight and attacks smoothly with two weapons, but it is difficult for her to eat on her head now.

The food that used to be able to be made in three or two bites, Sava now has to eat it for a long time, which has become the biggest obstacle to her growth.

Sometimes, watching Shava's eating, Systm even has strange thoughts.

Fortunately, the knight in the image of the knight originally given to Sava was not fully armed.

Otherwise, Sava will transform into a full knight's helmet after chrysalis for the second time, and Sava with a complete knight's face armor will probably starve to death because he can't eat.

……

Heatham felt that Shava's eating would take at least an hour or so.

Without disturbing Shava, who was eating, Systham decided to go outside alone to search for the five missing ants.

All the ants in the nest were instructed by him not to leave the area of a hundred meters near the nest unless they encountered a crisis of life and death.

Therefore, the location of these missing or dead ants must be near here, and with his strong eyesight now, as long as he flies into the sky to observe, he will definitely be able to find some clues.

Leaving the lair and flying a hundred meters into the air, Systm began to glance around the lair.

Heatham found that the moss in the forest was better bred than it had been a month ago, and it seemed that the green moss had largely adapted to the cold climate here.

However, compared to mosses, the mushrooms that are shaped like snow are a little less in size.

From only a few sporadic ones, to rapid breeding and diffusion to the peak, and now the scale is gradually declining.

Heatham estimates that the mushrooms can adapt to a certain amount of cold, but the cold has grown to the point where it is now about minus 40 degrees, and the mushroom is no longer very adaptable to this cold.

……

Scanning over the forest, it didn't take long for Systm to spot strange marks in the snow around thirty meters from his lair.

Heatham noticed that a large crater of about half a meter had appeared in the snow, like a cavity created by a meteorite hitting the ground.

Systm flew over, and he found some reddish-brown chunks of reddish-stained snow in the crater, and even if frozen, the blood-stained snow gave off a strange fishy smell.

Sistemm grabbed the bloodstained snow with his tentacles, and while the unique smell didn't have a burning sensation attached, it was just as unsettling as it was for Sith.

Sistemm had a feeling that his five ant people had been killed by the owner of the blood, and his [intuition] had given him a sense of danger.

"This is the blood of the Abyss Monster?"

Systham transformed into Frost Form and inquired about the ring that appeared above his head.

"I don't know."

Ice Elf Nylis didn't give Sistemm any useful help, and Sistemm lifted the [Frost Form], and then used the [Perception] attached to the tentacle to probe the blood.

"It's ......"

Systham's head looked puzzled, and he put the bloody pieces of snow on his tentacles into his mouth.

As the snow gradually swallowed and tasted, Systham's expression became even more strange.

"Why does the blood of insects turn red, and what is that spicy taste?"

Heatham muttered to himself, the combination of spicy and unique sweetness was unexpectedly delicious, and it made Heatham's mouth linger.

It was obviously an insect that caused the snow pit here, or a life with insect blood, and Sistemm could clearly feel that the level of the insect blood of this life was higher than his.

At least to the extent of the fourth metamorphosis or the third pupa.

However, because there is so little blood left here, no amount of information can be detected by Systm.

Heatham used his tentacles to flip the puddle back and forth, but the pit didn't leave much clue to the life except for a bits of blood.

Heatham could only roughly deduce that the weight of this life was at least a few kilograms, otherwise he would not have smashed such a pit.

"Where did it fall from? And how did you leave? ”

Aside from the pit, Heatham found no other traces outside of the pit, no traces of limbs, and no special marks around.

It's like a ball of meat suddenly falling from the sky, then growing wings and flying away.

Heatham continued to spread his wings and patrol the area, and it wasn't long before he discovered a new clue, finding some butterfly larvae of blood and tiny pieces of flesh behind a tree.

It wasn't long before Heatham spotted a mess of snow two meters away, and Heatham couldn't tell what was going on in the snow, but he found a pale gray ant's foot in the snow.

It was here that his ant people undoubtedly died.

"Was it eaten?"

Sistemm shook his slender tentacles above his head, and he suddenly smelled a strange fishy smell.

Because the death of the ant people made Sistm somewhat angry, if he had faced this situation in the past, he would definitely return to the lair and bring Shawar out, after all, Shawar is now his strongest combat force.

But this time he didn't return to the lair to look for Shava, and after feeling the direction of the fishy smell for a while, Sistemm flew into the sky.

Although angry, for this unknown creature, Syst still did not chase after the fishy qi directly, but decided to fly high into the sky to observe secretly.

From time to time, Systm fell and rose from a high altitude, and he found that the fishy aura was about a hundred and fifty meters away from his lair.

Heatham found nothing special in the center of the fishy smell.

His [intuition] gave him a sense of danger, but that danger didn't cost him his life.

Heatham thought about it for a moment and slowly flew down, and the moment it fell to the ground with snow, Heatham suddenly discovered something.

The blue light flashed several times in Systm's eyes, and Heatham moved a few meters across the snow, reaching out his tentacles to touch the transparent silk threads between the trees.

The thread was strong and sticky, and it was difficult for Syst to tear it apart with a lot of force from his tentacles, but when he spit out [corrosive slime], the silk dissolved easily.

"Spider Silk? After the onset of winter, the spiders in the Lierte Forest have basically become extinct, could this spider be the creature that exudes a strange fishy smell? ”

Systm's tentacles shook slightly, and he heard a roar like a bee flying, something moving around him at high speed......
