Chapter 67: The Golden Acorn
An ice-blue mist enveloped Sistham's body......
Systm felt as if someone was saying something to him next to him, so low that he couldn't hear it, and then he somehow fell from the branches of the trees.
Sistemtem found that his [Frost Form] had been lifted for some time, and looking at the time of the [Tools Menu], Sistemm found that half an hour had passed.
Completely contrary to the previous contract with the ice elf Nelis, the last contract he seemed to have experienced a lot, but in fact the time was very short, but this time it was the time he felt was very short, in fact, half an hour had passed.
Systm looked at the data in [Tools Menu], and he saw that the ice-blue mist had only enveloped him for less than a minute, and then he was stupidly staring at the branches.
After that, Nellis sent him a spiritual message, and seeing that he didn't respond for a long time, she took the initiative to help him relieve the [Frost Form].
And because of the lifting of the [Frost Form], which caused the loss of balance in his body, the stunned Heatham planted himself from the branch of the tree and plunged into the snow for more than twenty minutes.
Cysterm suspiciously examined the information on the [Tools Menu], and he discovered that there was a new thing in his self-information at some point - the "Winter Legion".
……
Winter Legion: A special title given by Ora, Lord of the Glaciers. In the Lierte Mountains and Lierte Forest, the health and energy regeneration rates are significantly increased.
The will of winter will never die.
……
"Winter Will, Never Die ......"
Heatham remembered hearing a small voice before he lost his mind, and now that he thought about it, that voice was the meaning of the eight words recorded on the title information in the [Tools Menu].
However, that voice was not something that could be described in words, like the voice of the world he heard during his third metamorphosis, and it was roughly what it meant, but there was clearly something more hidden in it.
As he pondered, Systham shook his body to crawl out of the snow and cleared the snow from his body with his tentacles.
The snow would melt and become a little sticky because of something special in his body after a long time.
Unlike ordinary animals and frogs, insects do not breathe through their mouths, and most of them breathe in air through numerous tiny breathing holes in their abdomen.
The melted snow stuck to many of the breathing holes in his abdomen, making Heatham uncomfortable.
However, as Syst cleared the snow, Heatham's tentacles felt the sound of gasps behind him.
Twisting his head, Systm suddenly noticed that the two-meter-tall Goblin Giant was watching him behind him, and when he turned around, the Goblin Giant showed him an ugly smile.
Heatham could feel a very friendly frosty aura emanating from the other party's body.
Just as all the ants in the same nest could clearly recognize which of their companions were, Systm naturally knew that the Goblin Giant was a partner of the same organization as him.
Systm noticed a diamond-shaped ice-blue pattern on his chest exoskeleton, and he found the same pattern on the Goblin Giant's left face.
Both the breath and the emblems on their bodies indicate that they both belong to the Winter Legion and are members of the Lord of Glacier.
……
The Goblin Giant reached out and grabbed Systham from the snowdrift and placed him on his head.
Stemm habitually stretched out his tentacles to wrap around the Goblin Giant's head, and decided to use the tentacle's [Perception] ability to probe the Goblin Giant's body information.
Perhaps belonging to the Winter Legion, with similar frost abilities, his tentacles can detect anything.
However, as soon as Systm was entangled, he stopped in time, and it was definitely not a good idea to give a mighty goblin giant a desire to mate.
Systm flicked his tentacles and jumped off the goblin giant's head with a puzzled expression.
He couldn't use his tentacles to inspect the goblin giant, but he didn't mind using his tentacles to [sense] the leopard frozen by the Lord of Glaciers, and maybe the frozen leopard could be used as food for him to taste.
Systm approached the frozen leopard's corpse, and the leopard's serene and serene gaze seemed to be frozen by the ice.
But the moment Systham stretched out his tentacle to touch the leopard, the frozen leopard crumbled and shattered like sand, and these tiny ice crystals didn't even fall to the ground, they turned into fine Xiaoice debris in the sky and were blown away by the wind,......
Only a five-centimeter-sized acorn was left in the snow from mid-air.
Unlike the usual green acorn, this acorn is also green, but has a faint golden sheen on the surface.
Systm tried to [sense] with his tentacles, but found that it was useless, and that he could not destroy the fruit with his chelica and [corrosive slime].
The acorns that can survive the attack of the Lord of the Glacier are obviously extraordinary.
However, although Systm gave up, Systm's movements apparently aroused the interest of the Goblin Giants on the side.
The Goblin Giant took the acorn from Sistham's tentacles, he first pinched it with his hands, then bit it with his teeth, and finally swung his ice crystal axe and began to violently destroy it, but there was still nothing he could do about the acorn, and he couldn't even leave some scars on it.
Eventually, the Goblin Giant shook his head and returned the acorn to Sistm.
……
……
There was a language barrier between Systum and the Goblin Giant, but with Nellis's help, he knew that the Goblin Giant seemed to be taking him to the distant Lilte Mountains.
However, when Systum shook his head and waved his tentacles in refusal, the Goblin Giant gave up on taking Sixt away.
After waving goodbye to him, the Goblin Giant walked away in the direction of the Lierte Mountains......
……
Sistemm unknowingly joins the Winter Legion under the command of the Lord of the Glacier, but this legion is much looser than Sistemm thought.
No one gave him instructions, and he didn't have to do anything special, just continue to live at the same pace.
Since the departure of the Goblin Giant, it was as if Sisttm's life had completely calmed down in that moment.
Not long after returning to the nest that night, the temporary nest worker ant pupae burst out next to Sistum, and the small worker ants ate a large amount of food under Sistum's watchful eyes.
Although the weather was cold, the little worker ant was not particularly afraid, and it took a few minutes in the cold snow to stiffen slightly, and after returning to the temporary nest, the stiff body of the little worker ant quickly returned to normal.
It is estimated that after two days, the [cold resistance] will be strengthened, so that the worker ant and the female ant can ignore the cold of winter.
Two days later......
Sistemm successfully strengthened the [cold resistance] to the limit for the small worker ants and the female pupae, and the two ants completely lost the threat of survival in the harsh winter.
And Sistemm also regained his wings after this day's dormancy, and under the nutritious food, all his eighteen tentacles grew to the limit, reaching more than thirty centimeters.
The vitality of his body was finally restored to 96%, which was basically at full value, leaving only his damaged eye to continue to repair for a while.
After another ten days, Sistum's damaged eye was completely restored, and at the same time, the female ants that had been strengthened by Sistum's successive [Ability Enhancement Techniques] successfully broke out of the chrysalis......
Foraging for food, eating, raising ants, strengthening and modifying female ants, and examining and strengthening the pupae that have been slow to break out of the pupae.
Sistem's days are busy, and the Winter Legion he joins has no news at all, as if it has nothing to do with him.
Only the golden acorn that Sistemm had inadvertently obtained, in the unoblivious corner of the wintering nest, sometimes trembled restlessly......
That's it.
Heatham spent half a year in the snow-covered Lierte Forest......
