Chapter 2 Bimoon

Not long after reaching level 3, Sistum's vision gradually dimmed.

The sun has set, and it won't be long before it gets dark.

As the sky darkens and the breeze cools, the forest is filled with more insects, some of them crickets, some of them cicadas.

Eating the young leaves, Syst noticed the grass shaking irregularly in the distance, but it was difficult to see what was there with the compound eyes of insects.

It wasn't long before a silvery-gray thing emerged from the grass and moved in his direction.

As the distance grew closer, the sight in Systm's compound became clear, and a silvery-gray mouse passed underneath his plant and nibbled on the rhizome of an unknown nearby plant.

Unlike the forest during the day, many insects and small animals are more active at night.

It wasn't long before the silver-gray giant rat had eaten the rhizomes of the plants and burrowed into the grass and disappeared.

Less than a few dozen centimeters above the diagonal distance, Systham spotted a black spider three or four centimeters in size releasing a silk thread that fluttered in the wind.

The spider releases a "search thread" for the first step in weaving a web, and as soon as the thread flutters in the wind and sticks to something, it will start weaving on the basis of this thread until it forms a complete web.

The forest was clearly in danger at night, and Heatham gave up his intention to continue jumping to other plants in the dark in search of young leaves.

At night his eyesight becomes worse and predators become noticeably more numerous, and he will fall into the trap of predators if he is not careful.

As a herbivorous insect, hiding and starving for a night is very uncomfortable, but it greatly increases the chances of survival.

With the intelligence of a human being, he naturally can't live as recklessly as an ordinary grasshopper.

After all, grasshoppers are powerful insects because of their ability to reproduce, not the ability of each individual to survive.

Needham laboriously cut three tiny young leaves with his not-so-sharp chelicera, and decided to hide under a dead leaf on the ground tonight.

These three young leaves can become his snack when he is hungry and can't stand it, and relieve his hunger a little.

The grasshopper carefully crawls from the branches of the plant to the stems of the plant, using the hook spines on its feet to crawl smoothly to the ground......

……

Twigs, scattered dead leaves, and a bit of rotting dirt made the ground a complicated environment for his soybean-sized grasshopper.

Biting off three young leaves the size of a small fingernail from the plant, Sistemm found only two, and he couldn't find the other leaf, so he had to give up.

After laboriously carrying the two young leaves under a slightly damp dead leaf, Systm subconsciously glanced at the night sky, and his insect head humanized a blank look.

The grasshopper's eyesight is very poor, he can't see things in the distance, he can't see how many stars are shining in the night sky, but he can see two moons in the night sky that are far apart, one white and one yellow.

This is no longer the same world......

Sistemm hadn't looked at the two moons in the night sky for too long, he had turned into a grasshopper and had lost his memory, and there was no difference in the original world.

He quickly burrowed into the dead leaves and began to rest quietly.

The body of the insect is very special, and although Syst has forgotten the name and memory of his previous life, some common sense things are still clear in his mind.

It is very difficult for humans to completely calm their bodies, and their bodies will unconsciously twist a few times after a short while, but the body of grasshoppers is completely different.

Lying on his stomach beneath the dead leaves, Heatham remained effortlessly motionless, feeling like a dead branch, completely still.

It didn't take long for the breathing rate and amplitude in his abdomen to slowly weaken, from one or two seconds to five or six seconds, and finally every few tens of seconds.

It was a peculiar dormant state, and when he entered this state, the hunger in Sistt's abdomen quickly decreased, and his entire body felt like a dead thing, requiring very little energy to maintain his vital signs.

Sistemm estimates that in this state, he can last two or three days or even longer without eating or drinking.

………………

Bang Bang –

With the sound of dew dripping, Systm woke up from a half-asleep state.

Shortly after his body went into hibernation last night, his mind gradually entered a half-asleep state, and he felt refreshed when he woke up, and it seemed that even an insect needed proper sleep.

The morning weather was a little cold, and Systm moved his slightly stiff body, and the breathing in his abdomen quickly recovered from a few dozen seconds of dormancy to one second at a time, and a strong hunger pang came into his mind.

After taking a few sips of the dew dripping from the edges of the dead leaves, Heatham began to chew on the two young leaves that had been hidden in the dead leaves yesterday to satisfy his hunger.

After a whole night, the taste of the young leaves deteriorated, and watching the information on the [Self-Information Generation] changes, Systm completely determined the law of level growth.

So far, there is only one way for him to increase his rank, and that is to eat.

While eating any kind of leaf can quench his hunger, the effectiveness of different leaves on his level increase varies greatly.

And to measure which leaf has the highest effect on him, the rule is also very simple, that is, the deliciousness of the leaf. Even leaves of the same species will have different effects on grade improvement due to differences in flavor due to freshness.

"In this way, if you want this body to grow more in the same amount of time, you should try to eat some delicious and fresh leaves."

"But to find delicious young leaves and buds, you have to look for more plants, which will undoubtedly become more dangerous."

"In my current state, there is no need to take any risks, so you should still get food in the same way as yesterday, and keep yourself safe."

After setting his plan of action for today, Systm concentrated on eating the two young leaves that were not too fresh.

Because of the increase in level, the body size increased, and it didn't take long for the two young leaves to be eaten by Sistum, and the eating speed was more than double that of level 2.

His chelica teeth were a little stronger after the upgrade, and Systham decided to try eating some of the larger leaves today, so that he wouldn't have to waste time searching for young leaves and buds if he succeeded.

……

Trythtm crawled out of the dead leaves and soon spotted a few uninvited guests near the dead leaves, five or six black ants in the size of a centimeter.

After nightfall, the life in the forest has also changed, replaced by a group of creatures that like to be active during the day, and the few ants in front of me are this kind of life that likes to be active during the day.

Five or six black ants were very close to him, the nearest one was less than thirty centimeters away from him, and the antennae on their heads turned back and forth, as if searching for food.

The ants weren't very fast, and they didn't spot the grasshopper larvae crawling out of the dead leaves, so Systm easily moved away from the "ant search team" with a few jumps.

In fact, after seeing the ants, Sistemm had no fear, and his [insect intuition] did not give him any signs of danger.

Once grasshoppers hatch from their eggs, they are not food for ants, who may hunt some giant lepidopteran larvae (larvae of butterflies or moths), but will never be able to catch a nimble grasshopper.

The main threat to Sistemm is a hunter like a praying mantis who can kill in one hit disguise, or accidentally stick to a cobweb.

Or the giant creature in front of him—

The body is covered in brown with raised and hideous patterns, a light brown belly constantly agitated, a pair of round eyeballs that blink from time to time, and an incomparably large mouth.

After three consecutive jumps to avoid the ant colony's "search team", Systm jumped in front of the toad disguised in a pile of dead leaves.

The toad, also known as the toad, is an extremely well-known insect hunter known to Systm.

And now Systham was less than ten centimeters away from the toad.

He even felt the moist, fishy breath exhaling from the toad's mouth......
