Because of the continuous consumption of slime's gum before leveling up, after the level rises to level 10, Sistum's [Corrosive Slime] (10/15) is increased to [Corrosive Slime] (11/15).

As Sistemm had always inferred, level 10 and level 11 were two completely different levels.

His [Corrosive Slime] has been increased in all directions in terms of spray distance, mucus capacity, viscosity, and corrosiveness.

And the most significant increase in [Corrosive Slime] is the activity that only occurs when swallowing a slime.

After reaching level 11, the [Corrosive Slime] secreted by Systham's glands is really able to move, and although it can't bounce like a slime, it can control the slime to squirm slowly on the ground, about the same speed as a snail crawling.

The slime was like an extension of his body's organs, and Systm could manipulate it the same way he manipulated his hands and feet.

However, there are many limitations to Systm's manipulation of the slime.

The mucus couldn't get too far away from him, he couldn't control it more than twenty centimeters, and the mucus was inactive after more than a minute out of the gland in his throat, and he couldn't control it anymore.

All in all, simply using the activity of slime is not enough to be an effective means of attack.

But even if he doesn't rely on the activity of the slime, his [Corrosive Slime] can now be used as his hunting tool.

Through the continuous spitting of slime and the strong mobility of the grasshopper's body, after reaching level 10, Systm successfully hunted and killed an eight-centimeter-sized spotted spider disguised as a yellow-and-white flower.

The hunt lasted about an hour.

Syst is very cautious, usually after each spit, in order to prevent the spider from erupting, he will get half a meter away from the spider, and wait until the spider's mood is calmer, he will continue to get close to the spider at a distance of thirty centimeters for long-distance spitting.

In this way, at first, the spider still had the heart to fight him, and then the spider would just keep running away, and even shrink into a ball and pretend to be dead on the ground.

It wasn't until an hour later, after several spits and threw dead branches and gravel at the spider that there was no response, that Systham was sure that the spider was dead.

The spider's body is apparently resistant to [Corrosive Slime], and Syst wasted a lot of slime to hunt the spider, and even eating the spider could not make up for his consumption.

So Systham only tried it once, and decided to concentrate on robbing ants in the future, rather than the thankless task of hunting spiders.

Regardless, being able to kill the venomous spider unscathed, Systm has undoubtedly climbed up the food chain of this forest.

…………

Around noon, Systm was after visiting his old friend, a slime recuperating in the mud in a dark corner.

He jumped to the top of the tallest nearby tree.

Estimating the time, Heatham glanced at his [Self-Information Generation], he had 51 days left to live.

Casually looking through the rest of the [Self-Information Generation] information, Systm found that his estimated combat power had somehow changed to 0.8.

From 0.4 at level 9 to 0.7 at level 10, and at noon today, his estimated combat power has been increased again to 0.8.

As for the combat power in [Self-Information Generation], Systm has never had a real sense of it, and he doesn't know how this combat power is calculated.

And apart from himself, he doesn't know how much other people's combat power is.

Every time his combat power was improved, Sistemm only knew that he had become stronger again, and he himself did not know how much he had become stronger.

Shaking his head, Heatham glanced at the sun in the sky while looking in one direction.

It's coming—

Since three days ago, at this time of the day, Sistemm could feel a faint fluctuation in his breath.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the veins in Sistham's body to tremble slightly.

This time he came to the top of the tree and felt it more clearly.

It was a strange and familiar aura that resonated with the grasshopper's bloodline, and seemed to be calling him, making him unconsciously want to fly in that direction.

"Is that you?"

A familiar figure conjured up in Sisttham's mind, his kind, the grasshopper queen.

From this breath, Sistemm felt something familiar, as if the grasshopper queen was summoning the grasshoppers.

She wants to be like those pictures in the bloodline of grasshoppers, leading grasshoppers to fly over mountain lakes and explore this vast world.

Sistemm was at the top of the branch, and his compound eyes saw twenty or thirty vague figures flying out of the nearby trees, presumably of his kind.

The grasshoppers flew over the forest and flew in the direction of the source of the breath.

At the same time, with a few shrill chirps, a large brown-red bird came out of the forest and began to pursue the grasshoppers flying in the sky......

……

"Is it really worth it? Even so, we have to explore the world......"

Watching the birds chase and flee, Systm silently jumped down from the top of the branch, and his heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

What exactly was uncomfortable, Heatham himself couldn't say.

Jumping off a tree branch, Heatham continued his old business, robbing ants.

It seems that as long as he robs the ants, he can feel more comfortable......

Two days ago, Heatham had found a tree hole high up in a rather stout tree, which was not very large enough to accommodate his body.

However, because the hollow is high above the ground, few ants pass by, and the hollow serves as a storehouse for Systham's food.

Usually snatching some non-perishable food from the ants, Systm would store it in a tree cavity and then plug the hole with the plant's leaves and his mucus in case of emergency.

The weather is getting cooler these days, and it is not uncommon to see sporadic leaves falling from the trees to the trees.

Autumn is getting closer.

Heatham found the plants in the forest strange, some clearly tropical and some subtropical, and he couldn't tell what the climate was like and whether it would snow in winter.

Systm knew that he had to make more preparations, otherwise even if he completed his third metamorphosis, his blood would be turned into a lump of ice in the world of ice and snow.

The only way Heatham could think of was to dig a hole in the ground, and if he had a hole two meters deep underground, he would be able to withstand the bitter cold of winter.

Although grasshoppers do not have the ability to hibernate some creatures, the insects themselves are not in a bad dormant state, and it should not be a problem for them to bring some food to their burrows to survive the winter.

And if the winter in this forest does not freeze, it is even better, and he can continue to go out in winter to forage.

……

After deciding on a wintering plan, Systm would study the structure of the ant's nest from time to time in his spare time to grab the ant's food, and prepare to choose a suitable location to dig a burrow for wintering.

Five days passed again, and since [Metamorphosis Growth] was already at full level, Heatham's pickiness about food was greatly reduced.

His experience bar has increased by half, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach level 11 in five days.

However, it is a pity that Slime, an old friend who has been with Syst for more than ten days, finally collapsed and shattered during a battle with ants, and was drowned by ants gushing out of the anthill, and died completely......

In the past five days, the special breath transmitted by the grasshopper queen has become more and more intense.

And in the early morning of this day, Sistum, who was snatching ants, found that the grasshopper queen had flown not far from him......
