After transforming into [Frost Form], Syst could clearly feel the frost energy in the forest, which was much clearer than in his normal form.

He could simply manipulate the energy to condense and form snowflakes, just like the snowflakes he saw between him at a height of a thousand meters.

At the same time, he can also control these frost energy into his body, which can be converted into experience points more efficiently.

Sistemm discovers that through his pact with the Ice Elve, his experience bar has unknowingly reached 98% of level 12.

If he hadn't used the [Ability Enhancement Technique] to consume these experience points, it was estimated that he would have been able to reach level 13 in less than a day just by absorbing the free frost energy in the air.

After changing into [Frost Form], the Ice Spirit Nellis successfully regained consciousness.

However, Heatham found that when his [Frost Form] was lifted, as the ice-blue circle above his head disappeared, Nellis would also lose her movement, as if she had fallen into a deep sleep.

According to Nelith, this is a means for the Ice Elves to reduce their physical consumption.

After making a contract with the creatures, they spend most of their time falling asleep.

……

Nylis spends most of her time outside of her Frost Form going into a deep slumber, much to Sistem's satisfaction, as it was strange for an ice-blue circle of light to appear on a grasshopper's head.

If it was fine during the day, at night there was such a blue light on his head, and Sistemm felt very uncomfortable thinking about it.

Feeling his body, Systham noticed that after the contract with Nellis, his body had undergone some special changes.

The roots of his tentacles become slightly itchy, and special nutrients are produced in the blood of his body, which are gathered into his tentacles.

Systham found that the tentacles on his body were beginning to grow a second time, and the granulation of a third tentacle had appeared at the base of the limb where there were only two tentacles.

It seems that the tentacles at each of his feet have to be supplemented with three, a total of eighteen, and each tentacle will continue to develop until it becomes 30 centimeters in length and half a centimeter in thickness.

Causing this change in Sistum's body, Sistemm felt that it should be his new ability [Ice Spike] under [Frost Form].

[Ice Spike] causes Ice Spikes to produce at the end of Sistum's tentacles, and perhaps it is this ability that drives Sistum's [Regeneration of Severed Limbs] and [Insect Adaptability] to continue to mutate his body, making his body more adaptable to the environment and increasing his survivability.

Using [Perception] to feel the unique information in his bloodline, Systm learned more about the secondary development of the tentacles.

If this variation reaches its limit and the growing tentacles tend to stabilize, he will completely lose the opportunity to regrow the grasshopper limbs, and completely replace the legs with the tentacles.

But there was no way for Systham to stop the changes that were taking place in his body.

Sistemm had a feeling that he could stop this change in his body as long as he now severed all of his tentacles from the root with chelicera.

When he breaks these tentacles, his [Severed Limb Regeneration] will be able to exert its normal effect, and as long as the nutrients are sufficient, he will no longer grow tentacles, and will regrow the exoskeleton of the limbs, allowing him to revert to the original six limbs of the grasshopper.

……

After some consideration and choice, Systm finally let go of the change in his tentacles.

Although the more than a dozen tentacles growing on the body are not quite in line with the aesthetics of Sistm, the six exoskeletons and limbs of the grasshopper are not much better, and the appearance is also very ugly.

So after much consideration, Systm decided to keep these flexible and versatile tentacles.

The only pity is that the grasshopper is strong and can bounce on the thighs.

However, when his wings grow back and he has the ability to fly, the grasshopper's ability to bounce is not so important.

Feeling the tentacles of his body for a moment, Systm hit the road again, finally making it back to the top of the makeshift lair covered in snow and ice before it was completely dark.

Just as Systm had previously used the premonition of [Intuition] to perceive and use the ability of [Mind Transmission] to perceive, Heatham found that in addition to Shava, only two of the nearly twenty ants he had raised were still conscious.

One is a female ant that he has been focusing on, and the other is probably a worker ant.

Although she still has a certain amount of consciousness, she seems to have lost the ability to organize words with mental information, and can only convey some joyful emotions like ordinary ants.

Sistemm found his way and immediately began clearing the snow above the makeshift lair with his tentacles.

It's a pity that Syst is not naturally good at digging, neither the grasshopper's body nor Systm himself is very good at digging.

With fifteen nimble tentacles, it took three hours for Sistemm to dig from above the snow to the entrance to the makeshift lair, and the loose sand-like snow made it impossible to dig faster.

Pushing aside the soft snow at the entrance to the cave, Sistemm entered the passage of the makeshift lair.

Some of the remaining shimmering mushrooms in the passages of the makeshift nest have lost their luster, and it appears that they have stopped growing due to the cold before they have fully grown to their limits.

These mushrooms are not completely dead, Syst can feel the faint mood swings of the fungus in the mushroom through [Psychic Transmission], and nearly one-tenth of the mushroom fungus is still alive, but it has entered a dormant state.

However, compared to mushrooms, the ant people of Systham are not so lucky.

The makeshift nest was widened to fit his size, and the depth of the nest was only one and a half meters, making it easy for the cold to invade it.

In the passage of the nest less than half a meter deep, Sistemm found the corpses of five worker ants, whose IQ was so low that they might not be able to understand that the empty chamber in the nest was warmer than in the colder passage.

But the temperature in the empty room was not so high, and it was not long before Systham found the corpses of three ant larvae and a mature worker ant in an empty room, which were huddled in the corner of the empty room and eventually died.

Continuing to search the empty chambers of the makeshift nest, Systm found more ant carcasses, as well as a female and another worker who had survived the nest.

They have all been [pupated] and have become pupa.

The pupa of the female ants is seven or eight times larger than that of the worker ants, and it seems that the larvae of the female ants eat a lot of things during these days.

A simple examination of the female ant and the worker ant using his tentacles revealed that the two surviving ant pupae possessed an ability similar to [cold resistance].

Sistemm speculated that it was the ants that encountered cold weather during the process of [pupation], so they activated the ability of the body to fight the cold.

After placing the pupae of the female and worker ants, it wasn't long before Systham found Shava in the empty chamber of the mouse's corpse.

A third of the corpses of the rats in the empty chamber had disappeared, and it was unknown whether the corpses of the rats had been eaten by Sava alone or if they had been eaten together with the numerous ant larvae.

Looking at Shava's current appearance, Sistemm also understood why Shava couldn't respond clearly to his spiritual message.

Shava had apparently entered the second pupation, and all of her body's exoskeleton had softened, forming a huge pupa of about twelve centimeters.

However, the pupa formed by Sava is not complete, the skin of the pupa is rough and somewhat deformed, and the pupa has a diamond-shaped notch of about three centimeters, and some white juice flows out of it.

The internal heartbeat of the sarva pupa is also very abnormal, beating irregularly, sometimes stopping beating, sometimes beating several times in a row.

Fortunately, due to the cold weather, the white juice of the pupa gap did not flow too much and was frozen, otherwise Sava might have died due to the second pupae of this failure......
