In about the same time as Systm had estimated, as the sun went down, he managed to suck off two chrysalis and began to return to his nest of dead leaves.

Because of the growth of his body size, the originally very spacious nest of dead leaves is already a little narrow at this time, and it is estimated that this nest will not be able to accommodate him if he is upgraded by two levels.

Returning to the lair, Systm did not give up foraging at night, but took a short break.

When the food in Sistum's belly has been largely digested and his body has become more flexible and at its peak, he will go on his first hunt of the night.

After five days of torrential rains, the forest was starved of creatures to hunt in the forest.

Most of the insects that Heatham could find after a rainstorm were chirping cicadas, but he wasn't sure he would be able to kill them, as they would fly away at the slightest hint of danger.

Moreover, the activities of these cicadas are very irregular, although they often chirp, but if you really want to find them, it is difficult for Systm to find them for a while.

There are also prey that are very regular and easy to find, and another is very regular, and Syst can be sure that the prey is two spiders.

One is 6 cm in size and 3 cm smaller, and the whole body is covered with yellow and white patterns.

After the rainstorm, the two spiders have rewoven their webs, staying in the center of the webs at night and resting in their makeshift nests in the corners of the webs during the day.

However, for Systham, these two spiders are not so much prey as hunters, and Systm feels that if he challenges these two spiders, he will kill himself and be killed directly by the spider's fangs.

After some consideration and choice, Systham's final target was the chirping cricket, which is also an insect with a fixed nest.

The location of the cricket's nest had been discovered two days earlier, and it was a narrow tree hole.

It is because of this tree hole that the crickets have escaped the natural disasters caused by the heavy rains.

Two days ago, he was just a grasshopper larva, and he had no obvious advantage over the 3-centimeter-sized male cricket, who was very aggressive, and could easily be crippled or fall into the water during the fight, so Systm did not attack this cricket when he was a larvae.

Now that he has become an adult grasshopper, Systm's strength has become stronger, and it is obviously not a problem to deal with that cricket.

However, after the metamorphosis, Systm became much larger and could no longer burrow into the cricket's tree hole, so he had to wait for the cricket to emerge from the tree hole at night and chirp before ambushing him.

……

The food in the stomach was digested, and it was completely dark.

Ready for everything, Systham made a few jumps and came to a branch near the hole in the cricket tree.

The cricket's tree hole was actually quite close to Sisstem's nest, only five or six meters away.

[Green Camouflage] starts!

The pattern and color of the body of the Systm slowly change to the color and pattern of the leaves of the trees.

Due to the limitations of this derivative ability, Systm can only change to a color similar to green, and his body shape is disproportionate to this branch, which can be said to be very flawed.

But if he chooses a branch farther away, Sisterm is not sure that the cricket will attack, and he can only hope that the night will not detect him.

He went into hibernation motionless, waiting for the cricket to go out and chirp at eight or nine o'clock every night.

Sistemm was like a poisonous snake waiting for its prey to take the bait, quietly waiting for the crickets to appear.

Snakes are one of nature's most lurking hunters, and when food is scarce, they will wait for their prey for days without eating or drinking.

It can be said that reptiles such as snakes and some insects take the idiom of waiting for rabbits to the extreme.

Whether it is reptilian snakes and crocodiles, or most of the arthropods and mantises, their hunting method is to wait for rabbits, stay in one place, and then wait for the prey to enter the attack range, and then suddenly issue a fatal blow.

Compared to these low-intelligence hunters, Sistemm is also a waiter, but his purpose is clearer and more efficient.

He knows exactly when and where his prey will appear.

As Systm had predicted, when the yellowish moon was at a little more than 45 degrees from the ground, the cricket crawled out of the hollow and jumped onto the branch next to the hollow.

The mate-seeking male cricket, apparently unaware of the Sistemm hiding diagonally above it, fluttered its wings on its self-caring branches and began to chirp.

Sistm's strong hind limbs began to build, and the muscles of his wings were ready to go, simulating in his mind the predatory action of rushing over.

With a gentle breeze, Heatham slammed into the male cricket, his wings snapping and roaring, further increasing Heatham's speed.

In the blink of light, Sistum's hunt failed......

Compared to those hunter predecessors who have low intelligence and will simply wait for the rabbit, Sistham's hunting skills are too immature.

The first half of Systham's ambush was perfect, perhaps replaced by a praying mantis or mantis, and he had already succeeded by this time.

But as a green-tailed grasshopper with a generally small size, he has no hunting instinct in his bloodline to pass it on.

Systm could only make plans for the hunt as he understood them.

His plan was simple, roughly using his four forelimbs to control the cricket, and then biting off the other's head with his chelicera.

Systham's plan was fine, but his movements were rough and his luck wasn't too good.

The cricket didn't react in time, but the first two forelimbs of the Heatham just held down the cricket's smooth wings.

With the sudden tremor of the cricket's wings, the hook spikes on Sistum's forelimbs could not exert their strength, and his landing was somewhat unsteady in this attack, as a result, the cricket escaped from Sistum's arms like a loach......

……

The moment the cricket broke free from his arms, Systm made a quick decision, immediately got up and moved backwards, blocking the cricket's hole.

There were still a few centimeters of standing water on the forest floor, and it was impossible for the crickets to escape to the surface of the water, and the only place where the cricket could save itself was the hollow in the tree.

However, when Systm quickly blocked the hole, he suddenly noticed that the cricket had disappeared.

Because of [the ability to read information], the outline of everything within a meter of the surrounding area shimmered in Heatham's eyes, and there were no ripples in the water below the branches of the trees, so it was clear that the cricket did not jump into the water.

"Is it hiding behind the leaves?"

Thinking back to the direction in which the cricket had broken free from his arms, Heatham stared in deep thought as he stared at the few leaves that had branched off not far away.

The leaves of this tree are similar in shape and size to maple leaves, and the petioles are short and easy to hide.

Heatham hesitated to move towards the leaves, but it wasn't long before Heatham's tentacles sensed a slight vibration, and he quickly began to retreat towards the hole.

But it was too late, and the cricket had already fled back to its tree hole first.

The cricket is actually hiding right below the branches.

Because of the inertia of the human mind, Systm forgot that insects can generally hang upside down......
