The black smoke formed by the volcanic eruption caused a lot of damage to the ant people of Systham, and after this incidental toxic black smoke fell, many of the ant people of Sixmutem lost their lives.

Except for a few ants in the nest who occasionally carry some pieces of dirt to carry for them, most of them snuggle up near the empty chamber where Systm was unconscious, some are too weak to move, and some are motionless and seem to be dormant.

Sisham's favorite worker ant, Blake, also became dying because of his fragile constitution, leaning on the body of the little meat ball.

The ant people in the nest of Sistemm exuded an indescribable emotion, not sad, not too uneasy, but with a lifeless aura......

However, just after Sistemm awoke from his coma and appeared, his ant people suddenly changed, and the seemingly lifeless ant people exuded joy and became active again.

Even the agony worker ant Blake moved his weak body to Sistem.

"You guys......"

Touching the heads of the ants with his tentacles, Systm shook his head slightly.

Without thinking about it, after using his tentacles to examine some of the seriously injured ant people, Heatham ordered the weak ant people to eat as much meat as possible to replenish their strength.

At the same time, Systm used his tentacles to probe several ant people whose bodies had not been harmed by the poisonous smoke.

After scouting three ant people in quick succession, Systham finally found the ability he was looking for - [Toxin Resistance].

There is still about 30% of the remaining experience bar, which should be able to activate this ability for 5 ant people.

Systm began to heal the weakest of the ant people, activating their [Toxin Resistance], a derivative of their [Insect Adaptability].

The weakened worker ant Blake was first treated by Systm, and after activating [Toxin Resistance], Blake's body was still very weak, but it has stabilized, and it is estimated that it will recover after a while.

It seems that although Blake has a weak physique, his luck is not bad.

In addition to the dozen or so pupated ant riders who were intact, only 42 of the Icerm ant people were still alive, and even one of the 10 worker ant riders who were pupated for the second time lost their lives......

Two hours later, after Sistm had exhausted his experience bar, he decided to go outside the lair and bring back some fresh meat.

The three frost slimes that Heatham brought back more than a month ago were not eaten up, and there was only one left, and Heatham decided to bring back some of the slimes to restore the ants with this nutritious food.

……

After a day and a half of coma, what should have been a sunny day in the Lierte Forest was covered in thick black smoke as if it were night.

The black smoke from the volcano did not make the Lit Forest any warmer, but rather made the forest even colder because of the opaque black smoke.

Aside from the black smoke, a few gray-black snowflakes scattered and fell over the forest, and Heatham only stayed outside the lair for a short time, and his body was dyed gray-black by the falling gray particles.

It's a pity that Systm used [teleportation] to perceive near the snow where the original captive frost slime was kept for a long time, but he didn't find any trace of the frost slime.

Perhaps he fell into the ground due to a crack formed by the earthquake, or he escaped, and Systm finally chose to give up.

Sistemm suddenly thought of the Ice Elf Nelith, who might know a little bit about the current situation in the Lilt Mountains, and even if she didn't know, after transforming into [Frost Cold Form], the ice crystal armor that appeared on his body would effectively block the black smoke in the air.

However, when Heatham wanted to transform into [Frost Form], he found that he could not call on this energy in his body at all, and the Ice Spirit Nellis seemed to fall into a deep sleep without any reaction.

Sisterm checked the [Tools Menu] and found that the ability of [Frost Form] in his self-information was still there, but it had become [Frost Form] (inactivatorable).

However, the [Frost Breath] attached to Systm's body could be activated normally, and he could easily erupt a cold frosty breath from the glands in his throat.

"Why is it that even Neris has fallen asleep?"

Heatham recounted the last time she had fallen asleep, when the Lord of the Glacier had been missing for months and the temperature had gradually risen.

"Winter's Agent, Ice Elf."

"The God of Winter, the Lord of the Glaciers, the inheritor of the Will of Winter."

Thinking back to the words of the Ice Elf Nylis, Heatham speculated that the Lord of the Glacier might be more than just missing this time.

However, because he was just a strange-looking weak bug, he had no idea what was going on around him, and he couldn't guess what was going on.

……

And while Systm was thinking to himself, through the gray snow and black smoke falling from time to time, Heatham noticed strange movements and some vague shadows in the forest.

Using his tentacles, Syst climbed onto a tree that had not been affected by the earthquake.

It didn't take long for Systham to see a dozen gnolls that he had seen in a goblin village.

Because of the black smoke from the eruption, the gnoll's yellow-brown hair had been dyed black, making it look a little embarrassed.

The gnolls were a little stronger than the ones Sistham had first seen, and they were running very fast through the snow and ice of the Lierte Forest.

Systm's [intuition] suddenly had an inexplicable sensation, and he used his tentacles to instantly flip his body over on a branch.

Whoosh –

A spear-like weapon brushed Sistham past him.

He was discovered.

The hunchman, the hout of a dozen gnolls, grinned greedily and cruelly, drew a wooden spear again, and threw it again in the direction of Sistm.

Systham moves his body to dodge again.

However, this time, the spear flew halfway through the air, and suddenly burst out with a layer of firelight, and its speed suddenly increased several times.

Sistem, though he dodged early with [intuition], was pierced through the abdomen by a spear.

Fortunately, because of the ability of [Super Speed Regeneration], Sistemm consumed his life force to quickly repair his body intact, and when he fell halfway down from the branches, he spread his wings and flew away from mid-air to escape.

A few gnolls seemed to follow the direction of his flight for a while, but because of the slow speed of Sistem's flight, and the obscuration of black smoke, the gnolls finally gave up pursuing him.

……

Because of the [Over-Speed Regeneration] and the [Flame Resistance] obtained by encountering the Flame Boar shortly after being reborn, Systm's body did not suffer much damage, and only lost 6% of his life force.

Using his tentacles to wipe away the black soot from his eyes, Systm felt the wings folded on his back.

Compared to his abdomen, which had been pierced and then repaired by [Overspeed Regeneration], the short flight inevitably caused a large amount of black particles to attach to his wings, and the black smoke on his wings obviously made him even more uncomfortable.

Systm quickly jumped into the snow to clear the black ash from his body, and wondered why the gnolls had gone to the Lierte Forest in such a hostile environment.

But after thinking about it for a long time, Heatham didn't come up with any reason......
