Chapter 42: Shava's Oath
Heatham made his way down the passage of the makeshift nest, and as he got closer to the exit of the nest, he smelled the scent of many of the worker ants and heard many of them moving.
There seemed to be a lot of worker ants roaming around his nest.
"Could it be that Shava commanded it?"
As Sistum emerged from the hole, more than a hundred ants gathered at him as if they had exploded.
Soldier Sava obviously did not significantly improve his command level of the ants, and these ordinary ants still regarded him as an enemy, and did not hesitate to attack him after seeing him.
Sistemm didn't bounce, his back crawling with intricate carapace gently open.
Like a feather blown by the breeze, Systham flew.
After the third metamorphosis, Sisttm's body and wings changed significantly, his body became lighter, and his wings became more flexible.
However, Sistemm couldn't tell exactly what had happened to the structure of his wings, but it had apparently become more useful, and he could easily control his body to hover in mid-air.
Not only that, but the sound he made when he flew became extremely slight, no longer like when he was an adult worm just now, as long as he flapped his wings, there was a snapping roar.
With a gentle flap of his wings, Systham flew above the swarm of worker ants.
As Sistemm rose, the group of worker ants did not continue to pursue Sistum, and continued to shake their tentacles to patrol around Sistum's nest.
Flying Systm did not continue to watch the swarm of worker ants, and he suddenly smelled a hint of Shava's body.
Flying following the distinctive scent in the air, he soon spotted the soldier Sava a few meters away next to a small sapling.
……
In two days, the wounds on Sava's body had clotted into light gray blood scabs.
Systham found that with the exception of the broken tentacles on the top of Shava's head, which had produced granulations, there was no sign of any further growth on Shava's severed limbs.
It doesn't seem that Shawar has the ability to [regenerate severed limbs] like he does.
Heatham didn't choose to bother Shava immediately, just watched her from afar.
Even from a distance of a few meters, with his current eyesight, he could easily see Shava's every move.
Systm felt that his eyes were now sharper than those of an eagle, and he could even dimly see a fragment of dead leaves mixed in the clouds of the sky.
Shaking the worm's head, Systm intently observed the soldier Sava not far away.
With only one leg remaining, Sava is noticeably more agile than she was when she was seriously injured two days ago.
Her abdomen seemed to be her second leg, and Sava used her remaining left forelimb and abdomen to move around the ground as if she were "jumping".
Shava opened her huge chelate and snapped at the sapling!
After biting the plant, Sava examined the wound on the stem of the plant with his remaining limbs, moved slowly to its original position, and then rushed to the stem of the plant to bite again......
Heatham observed at least dozens of wounds on the stems of the plant, and Shava must have been practicing with the plant for a long time.
"Is it because of the video I gave her?"
Systham recalls the spiritual messages he had sent to Shava before he completed his transformation, as well as the images of the knights he had imagined.
His imaginary image depicts a knight who always practices chopping with an iron sword against a stake.
Sava may have practiced because of this image, although she did not have a large sword, but she was born with a pair of huge chelicera, so she practiced biting around here.
Systm didn't think that the human knight's set could be applied to bugs, and besides, the image wasn't real at all, just a fantasy in his head.
Heatham felt that instead of practicing like this, it would be better to eat more in the same amount of time to increase the size of the body, which was the correct way for insects to grow.
What's more, Sawa's current physical disability is not what it looks like, and this kind of practice will not produce any results at all.
Heatham decided to put a stop to Shava from practicing like this.
However, just after he had watched the practice of Sava bite twice, Heatham stopped......
Sisstem's dark green compound eyes seemed to appear as if there was a fleeting blue light.
Opening the database in the [Tools Menu], Systham carefully compared Shava's three successive exercises, and he found that the feeling just now was indeed not wrong.
Shava is improving, thinking about each bite and then fine-tuning the next bite.
The force of the bite was impossible to obtain, but the speed at which Shava sprinted at the plants each time was slightly faster.
"Coincidence? Or is it the potential of bugs? Or is it that Sava is gifted in his own right? ”
Systm paused, quietly observing Shava's practice, and using the [Tools Menu] to record statistics.
In the space of an hour, Shava bit the plant 131 times, and in 117 of those times Shava sprinted faster than the previous one.
By contrast, Sava was nearly a quarter faster than he had been in the first sprint after an hour.
As Sava bit it a dozen times again, the scarred woody plant seedling with a thickness of two centimeters was finally completely bitten off by Sava.
I hate to admit it, but practicing like a human does work for Shava, and it seems to work very well.
……
After biting off the plant completely, Sava seems to have begun to eat the food that has accumulated next to him due to the exhaustion of his physical energy.
Seeing this, Syst flew down from a high branch and used [Psychic Connection] on Shava.
Shava was visibly stunned for a moment, her confusion was heard, but it quickly turned to joy, and she crawled in front of Sistm with excitement with her mutilated body.
Systm noticed that the sting needle in Shava's abdomen suddenly protruded, and he was puzzled.
Could it be that Sava was going to attack him with a tail needle?
It's impossible!
Shava suddenly flipped her body, and then used the tail needle to plunge into the dirt, and she actually used the tail needle to stand upright.
Like a human, Shava made a comical gesture with her remaining limbs on her chest.
The chelica in Systham's mouth twitched slightly unconsciously, feeling a little embarrassed, he really couldn't understand what Shava was doing with such a strange move.
Heatham turned to Shava and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
"Take the oath!"
The spiritual message from Sava was full of pride and pride.
"Oath? Forehead...... Is what you are doing is a knight's oath? ”
"Yes!" Sava replied excitedly.
Sistrem's chelices twitched uncontrollably again, and as he watched Shava's embarrassing movements, he felt that he had made a mistake in handing over his fantasizing image of the knight to Shava.
What a mess of a good ant!
