Chapter Ninety-Three: The Chrysalis of Frost (I)
Bug's personality is generally stubborn, and Shadow eventually decides to assassinate the old druid.
Not for the millions of grasshoppers, just for Kun.
Heatham didn't know what had happened between Shadow and Kun, and he didn't ask for it, and since she was so determined, Heatham didn't persuade him.
The conversation with Shadow lasted about two hours, during which time the four gnolls seemed to spot them, but Shadow easily killed three of them, and the remaining one was killed by Sawa.
Heatham also learns the cause of the disaster in this forest because of his conversation with Ei.
A tale of twin dragons.
To be precise, it is the story of the Abyssal Lord, the Purgatory Demon Dragon, and the Frost Dragon Orra, the Lord of the Glaciers.
One dragon twins, one ice and one fire, the twin dragon brothers hatched from a dragon egg have no way to prove the reason for their initial disagreement, and the two dragons have been fighting for thousands of years, and their battle has intensified.
The reason for the current tragic state of Lilt Forest is another attack by the Infernal Dragon Augen on the Frost Dragon Orra.
These gnolls, the new members of the Infernal Dragon Augen's command in the Overworld, were instructed by Oggen to take over the Lierte Forest and clear the remaining ice and snow creatures in the Lilte Forest.
As for the amount of information, Shadow actually doesn't know, the entanglement between the druid and Aura three hundred years ago Shadow doesn't know anything, but the last time Aura disappeared, it must have something to do with the Purgatory Dragon.
From Shadow's spiritual message, Systham also knows more about the swarm druids in the abyss, and he learns that Fistadine's teleportation of the meat ball to capture him is just a coincidence, and has nothing to do with the current tragedy in the Lilt Forest.
……
Weak bugs, experimented and studied by swarms of druids in the abyss; In the Overworld, the bugs are disgusted by the natural druids who hate the swarm druids.
Everywhere, the bugs are in a miserable situation.
Shadow tells Systran that after assassinating the old druid, she wants to change the status quo of the bugs, and wants Heatham to join her in changing the status quo of the bugs.
Sistemm didn't even think about it, and directly refused.
There are too many bugs in this world to manage them, and it is already very difficult for him to keep his promise to protect his ant people.
Trying to change the status quo of the bugs, let alone him, even the mighty lord of the glacier may not be able to do it.
However, Kageming understood his refusal, understood and agreed with him, but told him that she would find a way to return to the abyss, rescue some of her wise companions, and bring them to him.
Shadow said a lot of things to himself, saying that it was to let the bugs live happily together.
Perhaps it was because Heatham had never argued since he came into this world, and Heatham had argued for a long time about Shadow's very superficial opinion.
It's impossible for bugs to live happily together at the same time.
Even for the same insects, carnivorous praying mantis and mantises, grasshoppers and butterfly larvae are natural enemies, at the top and bottom of the food chain.
If grasshoppers and butterflies are happy enough to live carefree until the end of their lives, then praying mantis and mantis will undoubtedly starve to death and become unhappy.
Ying understood Cistran's words, and once again agreed with Systham's statement.
But this shadow still said a lot of things, she said that she would also arrest the abyssal druids of Fistine, and then use them for experiments, as for how to do the experiment, how to do the experiment, Shadow is completely unclear.
I couldn't say anything about the shadow of Systham, and flew away in a fit of rage.
However, before leaving, Shadow tells him that whether the assassination of the old druid is successful or not, she will come back to him as long as she is alive.
"You are indeed the king."
Leaving the last spiritual message, the shadow vanished.
“……”
Sistemm looked in the direction in which the shadow had disappeared and shook his head helplessly.
Although he didn't accept most of Ei's proposals, he still inexplicably agreed to Ei and helped her take away a butterfly and insect chrysalis.
According to the picture of the shadow transmitting spiritual messages, seven or eight kilometers away from here, in the direction of south-east, there is a special butterfly and insect chrysalis, about fifteen centimeters in size, which seems to contain the power of frost, and it should be a butterfly that has entered the secondary chrysalis.
Shadow hoped he could take the chrysalis away.
Heatham said that he would eat the butterfly chrysalis if he found it, but Shadow immediately agreed, just letting him take the chrysalis and do whatever he could with it.
Heatham had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
"Make the bugs happy?"
Heatham secretly spoke to Shadow, who in some ways resembled Queen, the Grasshopper Queen, in some unrealistic dreams.
However, although Syst tried his best to refute Ei's dream, he himself was not the same, but he was unwilling and did not have the courage to admit it.
……
Following the spiritual message left by the shadow, Systham and the Ant People changed direction slightly, and continued to march in a direction a little more south-east.
After two hours of rest, his ant people were more energetic, and at sunset, Sistemm finally led his group of ant people to the location marked by the Shadow Spirit Message.
In a slight departure from the video recording in the Shadow Spirit Message, the frost covered by the tree with the chrysalis seemed to be thicker.
The trees of the entire forest were covered with black ash, but this one was the only one that was covered with white frost, which was somewhat different.
It was easy for Systm to find the butterfly chrysalis with a layer of ice crystals attached to it.
According to Shadow's description, the cold aura attached to this butterfly pupa caused even Shadow's body to be slightly frostbitten.
However, after Sistrem touched the chrysalis with his tentacles, instead of being frostbitten by the frost power, he felt a very friendly and familiar frost aura, which should belong to the same origin as the frost power in his body.
Unlike grasshoppers and ants, adult butterflies do not have chelicera, but only a straw that can suck nectar, and it is impossible for Syst to rely on this straw to feed and enter secondary pupation.
This butterfly must have had some adventure.
"Could it be that it is also a worm born of frost power because of the breath of the Lord of Glaciers?"
Systm uses his chelicera to break through the ice above the chrysalis and uses his tentacles to inspect the wounds.
Heatham found that the frost power inside this chrysalis was dozens of times that of his current one, and ordinary worker ant riders only needed to touch it slightly, and after a while, the parts they touched would be covered with a layer of frost.
Except for him and Shava, who contain frost blood, only the little meat ball is immune to this frost energy.
Like all pupae, the consciousness of the insects inside the pupa is generally blurred, and Systm only senses the vague emotions of the butterfly inside with [telepathy].
However, unlike ordinary butterfly pupae, the emotions emitted by this butterfly pupa are much weaker, just like the second pupation of Sava at that time, and fell into a deep sleep because of injury.
Sith stared at the butterfly chrysalis, hesitating to eat it immediately, after all, the power possessed by this chrysalis was too great to easily pose a threat to his ant people.
In the end, Heatham decided to wait.
Every insect that enters the second pupation will basically have a certain intelligence, and if the butterfly is not hostile after breaking out of the chrysalis, Systm decides to release the butterfly.
And if this butterfly is born with any bad emotions that threaten his ant people, then when it is weakest when it breaks out of the chrysalis, it will be mortally attacked by Systm.
