Chapter Forty-Eight: Shava's Request
After continuing to communicate with the slime for a while, Systum discovers that in addition to movement and bouncing, he can also give the slime a third command, splitting.
He can use psychic messages to make slimes split.
Systm remembered how he had worked to lure his old friend Slime to the Anthill, and then collect the slime's gum when the slime had lost both sides of the fight.
But now just a few words from him will do.
When Sistemm delivers a spiritual message, the slime follows Sistem's instructions and splits into two individuals of the same size.
As long as you continue to control the slime to split a few times in a row, you will get a small piece of slime that he can easily fiddle with, which can be easily eaten.
And the rest of the slimes don't take long to come together according to their instinctive attraction to each other.
……
In this way, Sistemm devoured the small pieces of slimes formed by the splitting just a few meters away from the size of the basketball slime.
The dark green slime still has a strong yogurt flavor, which is a bit better than the previous brown slime.
The improvement of his [Transformation and Growth] is also more obvious.
Sistemm felt that as long as he continued to eat this small piece of gum a dozen times, his [Metamorphosis Growth] might be able to break the limit of level 13 and reach level 14.
After each metamorphosis, Systm is informed of the next metamorphosis.
When he was in the second metamorphosis, he knew about the third metamorphosis.
And now after the third metamorphosis, Systm also feels some of the information about the fourth metamorphosis, although this information is very vague.
Sistemm had a vague feeling that when his [Metamorphosis Growth] reached level 17 or 18, he would get the specific conditions for the fourth metamorphosis.
Sistum's [intuition] gave Sistemm a peculiar feeling that the fourth metamorphosis would cause a greater change in his body, but what it would become, Sistum had no way of knowing.
"Maybe my transformation into a magical life depends on this fourth transformation?"
Sistem, who was eating slime gum, thought to himself.
As he continued to swallow the gelatin in the slime's body, Systm's abdomen gradually swelled.
It is not difficult to swallow this mass of gum, but to completely digest and absorb this small ball of gum, it is estimated that it will take half a day for Sistem.
Based on Sistum's previous experience with the brown slime, Sistemm felt that even if he ate the slime's gum three or four times faster, he couldn't keep up with the speed at which the slime would grow and recover on its own.
In other words, as long as winter hasn't yet come, he can get food from slimes every day that he can't finish eating.
After devouring all the gelatin, Systm used a psychic message to cause the slime to split again, find a wide leaf, and control the small clump of slime gum to jump onto the leaf.
Using his tentacles to wrap the slime in leaves, Syst decided to pack the small clump of slime gum and take it with him.
This nutritious food that promotes [metamorphosis] is really good for sava and ant larvae.
As he returned to the lair by grasping the leaf wrap with his tentacles, Systham recalled that Shava had gone out of his way to protect him, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of the words of the middle two that he said because he was moved—
"As long as I'm here, I'll be your king."
At that time, he said such words in a hot head, and now he thinks about it with a little shame and regret, but now, Syst does not intend to deny it.
Although he really denied it, Sawa wouldn't say anything, but he wouldn't.
Such is the character of Systham, once he has made a promise, he will never go back.
Now that he has proclaimed himself king, he is a king, and he must do something to his people and be what a king should be.
……
……
When the slime was brought back to the makeshift lair, the soldier Sava had just woken up, and she seemed to smell the blood of the rat's carcass and was eating the rat's flesh.
The warrior ant's sava's chelica teeth were so sharp that even Sistem's third metamorphosis could not compare, and she easily tore the mouse's fur with it, biting at the rat's flesh.
It seems that Shava's spirit has recovered a little, but I don't know if she knows that this mouse is the culprit who disabled her in the first place.
After meeting Sistham, Shava treated him as cordial as ever, apparently not alienated from him by the tentacles of the day.
As if he had spotted the slime wrapped around Sistem's tentacles, Shava sent a puzzled spiritual message to Sistem: "King, what is that?" ”
Systm replied, "It's a slime wrapped in leaves, a gelatinous creature that tastes good, do you want to eat some?" ”
However, Systm soon discovers that Shava is not asking for a package made of leaves, but a tentacle that is used to wrap the leaves.
"This is, king... What the? Shava sent a spiritual message again, this time moving to Systm's side and pressing her remaining limbs against Systham's tentacles.
Heatham noticed that Shava's spiritual messages seemed to reveal something strange.
"I guess it's a tentacle, like a finger, you can grasp things." Systm replied.
Sawa seemed intrigued by his tentacles, and gently rubbed his head against his tentacles.
After a while, as if he had made up his mind, Shawar suddenly said to Sistm: "King, you can use it, your... Tentacles, then wrapped... Wrap around me? ”
“…… Well? ”
Sistm, who was controlling the slime to split and merge, was slightly stunned, and he finally realized what the inexplicable thing in Shava's previous spiritual message was.
Sava seems to have taken a liking to his special utility tentacles and wants to continue the bundle game with him.
"No way!"
Sistemm refused Shava's request after a little thought, and he didn't have any bad taste in some way, and was able to evolve tentacles only because he wanted nimble fingers, not because he wanted to play some special little game.
Hearing Systham's decisive refusal, Shava felt a sense of loss.
However, although Sava was born with wisdom, her feelings are very simple and she will not hold on to something.
After sucking on the slime's gum, Shava felt a sense of enjoyment, and it was clear that the gummy was in line with her appetite.
She quickly forgot about the tentacles that had special functions in Sistm.
Seeing Sava eating gum, Systm nodded, and he controlled the slime's gum to continue to split, and then distributed the gelatin, which retained some activity, to the many ant larvae.
Except for a few and two ant larvae who are not very fond of this gum, the vast majority of ant larvae are very fond of this nutritious gum food.
Watching the ant larvae feed on the slime's gum, Syst noticed that one of the two male and female ant larvae he was particularly concerned about was eating at an unusual rate.
In terms of size, this ant larva is also much larger than other ant larvae that hatched at the same time.
This ant larva apparently has a digestive capacity that other ant larvae do not have.
And seeing the rapid digestion rate of this ant larva undoubtedly provided a new idea for Systm.
As the so-called sharpening knife does not mistake woodcutter, if he wants to grow quickly, compared to other miscellaneous abilities, the first thing to improve is digestion ability!
