Unlike the big balls that used to be, the small balls of meat do not seem to have the ability to perceive the outside world like the big balls, and they do not have the sense of hearing, smell, or smell.

The only thing that can perceive the outside world is the touch of the granules.

It has a higher IQ than ordinary ants, and after half an hour of contact with Systham, the little ball of flesh will follow Systm's example and try to stretch out its flesh buds to move its body.

However, the granulation strength of the little meat ball is not very strong, and it cannot support the weight of the small meat ball at all, so it can only roll its spherical body in the dirt.

Like finding a new toy, the ball spent the rest of the day rolling its body on the ground with its flesh buds, and from time to time it emitted some joyful emotions......

And through constant contact with the small meat ball, the [Sense] power on the tentacles of Systm came into play again.

Before [Metamorphosis Growth] was transformed into [Chrysalis], Systm felt the [Body Deformation] ability that was not very clear, and he felt it even more clearly.

[Body Deformation] This power cannot cause the body to deform at will, and can only be appropriately changed according to the original insect bloodline of the body.

The reason why the predecessor of the small meat ball was able to change into various shapes was because of its [Devouring] talent, which allowed it to plunder and absorb the blood of too many insect lifeforms, and was able to transform into many strange forms.

Like [Over-Speed Regeneration], the ability of [Body Transformation] is also available for Systm to be activated.

However, the fit between [Body Transformation] and his body is not particularly high, and the upper limit of the talent level after activation will be very low, and the transformation ability is estimated to be not very sensitive.

For a moment, Systm didn't know if he should activate this ability.

"Maybe with this ability, I can change the extra stomach and speed up my digestion of food and gain experience, but if I can't do that, I will undoubtedly waste a lot of experience points."

Systm used his tentacles to probe the blood in the little meat ball and think about it, but found that at some point, the little meat ball also followed his example, stretching out the flesh bud to wrap around his tentacles.

The little ball of flesh mimics Sistham's movements as if it were his offspring.

Sistemm shook his head slightly, didn't continue to think, piled some food next to the small meat ball, and began to head out into the ice and snow world, looking for frost slimes or other large meat.

……

A few days have passed, and the ice and snow world of Lierte Forest has not changed much.

Covered in silver, the wind was cold, and the temperature was the same as a few days ago, around minus 40 degrees, with no significant change.

However, at the exit of the lair, Systham's tentacles smelled a faint scent, similar to the scent of flowers that often wafted from the summer months in the Lierte Forest.

Pale green ice crystal vines the thickness of chopsticks appeared on the trees around Sistum's lair at the same time, and a few blooming frost flowers appeared sporadically in the small oval leaves.

In just a few days, the seeds of these Frost Flowers had sprouted and grown rapidly, and the largest of several Frost Flower vines had even grown to a meter tall.

The shape of the Frost Flower is similar to the shape and size of the rose in Systham's previous life, but there is a significant difference in color, like ice and snow, which is translucent white.

The five vines around him were all growing well, but on three of them, Heatham spotted some uninvited guests, the butterfly larvae he had stocked as livestock.

There seems to be a spawning ground for butterflies in the vicinity, and as a result, nearly a hundred small reptiles have appeared on the Ice Crystal Flower.

If left unchecked, the vines of these frost flowers will be gnawed clean by these butterfly larvae, even though they grow very quickly.

"Spikes, hooks, clean the butterfly larvae from these vines."

The two worker ant riders, nicknamed by Sistem, sprang into action, climbed atop the vines and effortlessly killed the small butterfly larvae, which were only one centimeter in size, one after another.

It didn't take long for more common worker ants to emerge from the nest, collecting and transporting the dead bodies of the many butterfly larvae that had fallen from the vines and been killed.

Ignoring the ant people's slaughter of butterfly larvae, Syst reached out his tentacles and plucked a frost flower.

The Frost Flower may seem hard, but it is actually as soft as a normal rose.

It exudes a strange frosty smell, obviously a magical plant, and when Systum puts the petals in his mouth, he can taste a much richer salty flavor than snow, and has a very faint pineapple sweetness, combined with the slightly soft taste of the petals, Heatham feels like eating fruity shrimp meat.

This petal of the same weight provides slightly more experience than the gelatin of the Frost Slime, making it a good food.

It's a pity that the experience generated by this frost energy can only be useful to him or Shava who contain frost blood, and it is completely useless to ordinary ant people.

It's almost impossible to fill the Ant Rider's belly with this frost flower.

However, this Frost Flower seems to have a special effect on Nyris, the Ice Spirit who is contracted with Sistm, and as Sistm eats the Frost Flower, the circle of light that usually only appears above his head in [Frost Form] suddenly appears above Sistm's head.

And as Systm ate the frost flowers, the aperture above his head began to flicker like an unstable voltage.

Systm inquired of the Ice Elves.

Nellis's answer, like she did most of the time, was unaware.

She didn't know exactly what was going on, only that this frost energy made her comfortable, and if she absorbed this energy for a long time, she would undergo some changes.

……

……

The episode from the Frost Flower quickly passed, and Systran and Shava embarked on a lengthy search for the Frostslime.

After a day and a half of searching, Sistemm finally found his new friend, the Frost Slime, buried beneath the snow 2.5 kilometers from his lair.

And this time Sistemm found not a frost slime, but a large and two small, a total of three slimes.

Beneath the snow where the slime was, Systham also found the corpse of a giant snake that had been dissolved by the slime.

It seems that the slimes must have relied on dissolving this unlucky snake corpse to quickly divide and reproduce, and finally formed the three slimes that are now one large and two small.

Using the ability of Teleportation, Systm decided to lure the slimes into captivity in a frozen mud pile beneath the snow near his lair.

However, it was in the process of Sistrem's command of the three not very obedient Frost Slimes jumping on the snow.

Sistrem's tentacles swayed slightly, and he once again caught a smell of sulfur, the abyssal aura that made him restless. His body had the same reaction that had been going on in recent months, and [intuition] had that vague sense of uneasiness again.

Heatham had thought that the ball of meat a few days ago was the source of his uneasiness these days, but now it seemed that this was not the case at all.

The uneasiness he felt seemed to have nothing to do with the meat ball or its owner who had come to grab him, but something else.

Two minutes later, the uneasiness in Systm's body had subsided as before, but this time the abyssal aura that permeated the air did not immediately disappear.

Heatham followed the breath and flew high into the air to search, and in a snow pit a kilometer away, Heatham found a half-demon, a demon with only half of its body and head left, to be exact.

It should still be alive......
