Accompanied by a splash of white blood, the head of the metamorphosis insect was easily bitten by the chelica of Sistum.

Seeing the wrinkled wings of the insect's corpse that had not yet stretched after it had been molunged, Heatham finally knew what the insect he had killed was.

It is a ferocious aquatic insect that lives in the water as a larvae and feeds on the larvae of mosquitoes, tadpoles, or some small fish.

The insects formed after the final metamorphosis of the water fly are basically familiar to people, that is, dragonflies.

Systm kills a dragonfly that is about to feather.

The exoskeleton of the water fly in the process of metamorphosis all softened, and Systm was easily able to suck and devour, this food rich in the softened exoskeleton tasted similar to compressed milk chocolate, and Systm only took four or five sips, and his abdomen felt full.

Feeling the fullness in his abdomen, Heatham sucked harder, and endured hunger for five days, and Heatham would rather not be able to stand it than endure hunger again.

Two hours later, the dragonfly corpse had been eaten and digested by Sistem, and Sistem's whole body felt sour and numb again, and he managed to reach level 7.

The body has grown from 3.4 centimeters to 4.1 centimeters, and the wing buds on the back have grown halfway, and Syst can even control these newly grown wings to tremble slightly.

After this upgrade, Sistum's talent [Metamorphosis Growth] and [Insect Adaptability] have been slightly enhanced, but the level is still maintained at level 11 and has not been improved, it seems that it should be true that Sistum's previous inference that the skill level of 11 is a new level.

As a result of his experience of hunger and cold a few days before this upgrade, Systm once again gained a derivative ability [Hunger Resistance].

……

[Hunger Resistance] (5/11): Obtained by the talent [Insect Adaptability]. The stomach can store more food, the utilization of food increases, and the body's energy consumption decreases.

……

In addition to the newly acquired [Hunger Resistant Constitution], because of this upgrade, Sistem's [Fishy Slime] (3/7) has been upgraded to [Fishy Slime] (4/7), and the pungent smell of mucus that he can secrete in his mouth is even more fishy, and it also has some faint corrosive properties.

Perhaps because of [Hunger Resistance], Systm felt like his belly was getting bigger.

It's not because the upgraded body has become larger, but his abdomen has become much larger according to the proportions of his body.

Systm felt the volume of his abdomen at least double in size, and continued to eat the dragonfly carcass before feeling full.

Systm even had the illusion that he could eat the corpse, which weighed two or three times his weight, even if he didn't excrete.

Continuing to eat, Heatham realized that it wasn't all delusional.

Ten minutes later, when half of the dragonfly's remaining corpse had been eaten, Sistham's abdomen swelled like a balloon to an incredible degree, and the entire abdomen was more than twice the size of the rest of his body.

But even so, there was room left in Systham's abdomen, and he felt like he could still eat.

However, Systm used reason in time to stop himself from wanting to continue eating, and although his stomach could hold more food, his body no longer allowed it.

Dragging such a large belly has become much more clumsy, and if he continues to eat like this, he will definitely become more difficult to move, and if any dangerous situation arises, he will not be able to escape.

So Systm guarded the dragonfly's corpse while moving his body, waiting for the food in his stomach to be digested.

In the process of digestion, Sistum's experience bar continued to grow, and Sistemm estimated that if the dragonfly corpse was fully digested, his level would reach almost seven and a half levels.

As long as he searched for some more food, it wouldn't take him two days to reach level 8. Reaching level 8 means that he will undergo a second metamorphosis, becoming an adult grasshopper that can fly.

At his current rate of digestion, Systham estimated that he would be able to eat all the dragonflies' carcasses before dark, and then drag his full belly back to his lair, and the next day he would be able to go out and forage as usual.

……

……

As Systham guarded the dragonfly's corpse, moving from time to time to speed up digestion, there was a mysterious and long song from the depths of the forest.

The tone of the song was euphemistic and varied, as if it were telling a story of a long time and vicissitudes, but Systm did not understand the specific content of the song, and the language of the world was completely incomprehensible to him.

Heatham only heard what appeared to be a human male making the sound, slightly older.

Not long after, with the sound of the murmuring water, the owner of the song paddled slowly past Sisstem's side on a raft half-reclining.

The owner of the song is a handsome, old-looking humanoid creature with deer-like horns on its head, sharp ears, and shabby brown clothing.

He seems to be a druid who is close to nature in a magical world, and he wields mysterious powers to control the raft to move forward on the water.

The old druid exudes a peaceful and mysterious natural atmosphere, which makes Systm unconsciously want to get close, and he even has the urge to jump into the palm of the old druid's hand.

On the raft, Systm saw several snakes of different species, as well as two silver-gray rats and a red-haired fox.

The foxes and the two rats have obvious water stains on their hair, and they are natural enemies of each other, and they and several snakes snuggle together on the raft without incident, as if they have been friends for many years.

Systm speculated that the animals were rescued from the water by the old druid, and used mysterious powers to calm them.

It wasn't long before the old druid on the raft faded away, while Systham looked at the old druid in the distance.

The old druid, half-reclining on a raft, exudes a strange power, and Systm feels the mysterious natural aura surrounding the old druid.

The old druid's half-recumbent position, like a Buddha in meditation, blended into nature, and a word appeared in Sisstem's mind - the unity of heaven and man.

Sistrem really couldn't find any other words to describe the old druid, and the old druid really gave Sisstem a sense of being out of this world.

"Can he be trusted?"

The moment he met the old druid, Systham even had the idea of showing the other party that he had wisdom, but Heatham finally suppressed the urge in his heart.

He couldn't even make even a brief contact with the old druid, and just watched from afar as the old druid left on a raft.

Hidden beneath the façade of peace and nature, Sistemm had no way of knowing what the old druid's thoughts were.

As a grasshopper, he did not have the right to speak to the old druid on an equal footing, and he could not bear to leave his fate in the hands of such a strange intelligent creature......
