Chapter 64: Metamorphosis and Chrysalis

Strengthening the [Cold Resistance] in the body of ordinary ants, the experience points consumed by the Systm are not particularly large, and it seems that the ant chrysalis has a high degree of compatibility with this ability.

With only about 5% of his experience points, Systm used [Ability Enhancement] to strengthen the [Cold Resistance] of the two pupae a lot.

Unlike the body that Systm has because of the talent [Numerical Code], ordinary ants are strengthened by [Ability Enhancement Technique] with certain limitations, and they cannot be improved too much at once.

After each ability has been enhanced to a certain extent, they need to rest for a period of time before they can continue to receive the Sixt [Ability Enhancement].

Otherwise, it will only encourage the seedlings to grow, making the ant's ability to be promoted problematic.

Sistum speculated that after two days of rest and one more boost, the two pupae's [cold resistance] would reach their limit.

I don't know exactly how effective it is, but for now, the [cold resistance] of the two pupae is much better, at least in this temporary nest, the two pupa no longer feel cold.

……

After strengthening the two pupae, Systm continued to give additional reinforcements to the female pupae.

Although there are no male ants to match, this female ant is still the object of special attention of Systm, the queen of the future ant nest.

It took about 10% of the experience, and Systm also strengthened the [pupation] talent of the female ant pupae, the growth cycle of the ants is not long, if it is not strengthened at this time, the female ant may break out of the pupa in a few days and lose the effect of the strengthening talent [pupation].

By strengthening the [Pupa] ability, although the female ant pupa does not have the earth-shaking changes like Shava, the brown skin of the pupa has become significantly smoother.

And with the continuous busyness of the two ants and insect pupae in Sistum, the frost fluctuations from time to time from the outside world gradually subsided.

However, at this time, Sistemm had already forgotten about the strange frost fluctuations.

Syst wrapped his tentacles around the female antworm chrysalis for a while, then Shava with his tentacles, and finally slowly wrapped his tentacles around his body.

Systm found that he used the power of [perception] attached to his tentacles to probe himself, which also caused him to have a desire to mate, and his body produced a strange feeling of comfort.

But Syst himself touched himself with his tentacles not to experience his magical tentacles, but to explore the talent in his bloodline.

[Metamorphosis] and [Pupae] are the fundamental forces in the blood of insects, and without this strange power, the insects would no longer be insects.

There are many different species of insects, and although they are very different in appearance, there is no fundamental difference in the blood that flows in their bodies, which Sistemm discovered a long time ago.

And today, in the process of using [Ability Enhancement] to strengthen the talent [Pupa" for Sava and the female ant one after another, Sistemm has a deeper understanding of [Pupa", and at the same time, he has also discovered more connections between [Metamorphosis Growth] and [Pupa".

Systm suddenly had an idea, and as soon as he thought about it, he couldn't wait to start acting.

Since the effect of [Transformational Growth] and [Pupalization] is not much different, and [Pupaification] is obviously stronger than [Transformational Growth].

So will he be able to activate the talent of [Chrysalis]?

As this thought arose, Systm's blood trembled slightly, and his [intuition] gave him a premonition that if he could successfully [pupate], his body would definitely grow unexpectedly.

"It seems that it is indeed better to carry out [pupation] than to carry out [metamorphosis and growth]."

Ignoring the pleasant sensation on his body caused by his tentacles, Syst focused on analyzing the [Transformation and Growth] in his own blood and comparing it with the [Pupa) in the bodies of several insect pupas.

Systm found that it was basically impossible to directly activate the [Chrysalis] talent in his bloodline, and the two talents of [Chrysalis] and [Metamorphosis Growth] had a natural conflict, and could not exist in the body of the same insect at the same time.

But there is another method that he can use, and that is to completely transform the [Metamorphosis Growth] talent into [Pupa"

Talent.

Theoretically, he could completely transform these two abilities with the use of [Insect Ability Activation] and [Ability Enhancement].

However, there is not much experience left in his body now, and he can't withstand the consumption of transforming from [Transformation and Growth] to [Pupa].

And Systm didn't know what his chances of success were.

……

Continuing to wrap his tentacles around his body and feeling it for dozens of minutes, Heatham reluctantly put down the tentacles wrapped around his body.

Converting [Metamorphosis Growth] into [Chrysalis] is definitely worth a try, but he will need to wait a while longer to store enough XP.

As Sistum lowered his tentacles, Sith noticed that the smaller worker ant pupa began to quiver unnaturally, and sent some uneasy emotions to Sistum.

Having bred a lot of ants, Systm knew that it would take less than a few hours for the worker ant to emerge as a worker ant.

Use [Teleportation] to soothe the restless emotions of the worker ants, and when the mood of the worker ants gradually settles down, Systm moves out of the passage of the temporary nest.

Since the cold winter can no longer stop his movements, he must also find more means to survive in the harsh winter.

……

A bitter cold wind blew on the ground, and when Systm reached the ground, he found that the sky was once again beginning to scatter snowflakes.

Unlike the last time when the sky was clear, this time the sky was very overcast, and it was a normal snowfall.

Systm caught two snowflakes with his tentacles and put them in his mouth to taste.

Although it is still a little salty, compared to the previous snow, the saltiness of this snowflake falling in nature is much worse, and it does not have the umami taste of MSG.

Sistemm transforms into a [Frost Form], controlling the free frost energy in the air to condense into snowflakes and release them into his mouth.

In contrast, Systm found that the snowflakes he had condensed on himself tasted much better, a little better than the snow.

Something suddenly occurred to Systm, and he controlled the free frost energy in the air to gradually condense, and after a few minutes, this frost energy finally formed a blue ice bead the size of a soybean.

Putting the ice beads in his mouth and chewing them, Systm found that the taste of the ice beads was very delicious, not very salty, but very fresh, just like tasting shrimp or fish, but the texture was a little crispy and strange.

Ice beads of the same weight can provide thousands of times the experience of normal snow, which is about 2% of the experience that Heatham has today.

However, this Ice Bead Sistemm could only condense in the [Frost Form], and it would take three minutes to condense one, and in the limited [Frost Form] time, he could only condense three or four pieces.

Systm condensed an ice bead again, dislieving the [Frost Form].

Although he was experienced, the ice beads did not actually relieve his hunger, nor could they be used as food for the ant people, at most he had an additional means of gaining experience.

Heatham looked around and didn't stop glancing, he had an abundance of food for a short time, even the leaves and weeds in the snow were enough to fill his stomach.

But after a month or two at most, the leaves and weeds will dry out and lose their edible value.

As Systm continued to look around, he noticed something special in the air around him.

It is an extremely small, white insect that flies in the air......
