Chapter Twenty-Six: Level 10

In the middle of the night, Systham dragged his swollen belly to a pile of rocks near the pitcher plant, and then jumped to a gap in the pile that he had chosen during the day.

There was a slight movement, and a small two-centimeter cricket emerged from the gap, and it quickly burrowed into a narrow crevice in the gravel next to it.

Systm had no idea about his dove's nest and encroaching on the cricket's nest, and he didn't pay any attention to the escaped little cricket.

He began to rest quietly......

……

By swallowing [corrosive mucus] into the stomach, Systham's digestion rate is further increased.

Two or three hours after the next morning, Sisttham's tired spirit was fully restored.

His balloon-like belly had returned to its normal size, and the slime's gum had been almost digested.

Crawling out of the crevices in the rubble, Heatham jumped to the mud pit where the slime had been last yesterday.

The slime remained still motionless in the mud, the ants in its body had largely melted, and Syst could no longer see what the ants looked like in the gum.

Perhaps because of the slime's gum, Syst found that he had developed a resistance to the slime's scent of herbs, which had negligible effects on his spirit.

Systm quickly grabbed a dead branch and tried to tease the slime the same way he did yesterday.

Two consecutive throws of dead branches are not ideal.

The dead branch was bounced open by the outermost layer of the slime's gelatin, and the slime's body only shook irregularly a few times before continuing to return to its static state.

The slime seems to be unconcerned about the outside world.

It seems that in a short period of time, it is impossible to continue the tactics of driving away slimes and ants.

Sistemm didn't have the guts to face the slime directly, although the slime didn't have much reaction to throwing the branch twice, but if he took the initiative to bite the slime's gum, it was likely to be swallowed by the bulging slime......

……

Heatham departed decisively, except for the occasional return to the sludge to see if the slime recovered, and began to explore the surroundings while doing his old job of robbing ants.

There is a reincarnation in the way of heaven, and a few days ago it was ants who came to rob him, and now he is used to robbing ants.

Thirty meters away, Systm once again spotted an ant nest in a decaying tree, still the same reddish-brown ant that had fought the slime.

This Deadwood Anthill is even larger than the one that fought the slime.

The reddish-brown ant was very fast, and the first two or three robberies of the Heatham were not very smooth, and the body was bitten several times by the ant's chelicera.

In the process of snatching the second ant, half of the tentacles on his head were bitten off a quarter.

After the tentacles were broken, Systham's balance was a little worse, but it didn't affect much.

After three consecutive hunts of the reddish-brown ant, Systm got used to the ant's agility, and his snatch went much better.

Although he was still a little unaccustomed, Heatham was never injured again, and as the number of robberies increased, he became more and more proficient......

Through his observations, Systm discovered that the reddish-brown ant's habits were slightly different from those of the black-brown ant, especially when it came to handling food.

They do not chop their food completely, but prefer to cut it into small pieces of three or five centimeters, which are then carried back to the nest by several worker ants.

This habit of the reddish-brown ant is quite convenient for Sistem, who can grab large pieces of food by walking around three or five meters away from the ant's nest.

Each snatch will allow him to eat for a long time, and in the process of feeding on the high branches, he can also pick the food that these ants carry next.

Unknown giant insect eggs, butterfly larvae, plump plant seeds, earthworm carcasses......

Although this reddish-brown ant is a little smaller, it is obviously better at hunting than those black-brown ants, and it catches a wide variety of prey.

The reddish-brown ants who industriously carry food reminded Systm of the feeling of eating a buffet in his previous life, where there would always be a variety of food passing by him, and he didn't know how to start.

Systm even snatched a 3-centimeter-sized spider and a 4-centimeter-long half-centipede from the ants, the carcasses of these two insect hunters were very fresh, and it was unknown how the ants hunted them.

……

……

For the next few days, Systm spent the days snatching the ants, exploring the surroundings, and observing the slime.

The process of snatching the ants was basically unusual, and in the process of exploring, Syst discovered seven more ant nests, a total of four types of ants.

In addition to the black-brown and reddish-brown ants that Syst is familiar with, there is also a large black ant with a body size of 2.5 cm and a small gray-brown ant with a size of 0.5 cm.

There are some differences in the food that several types of ants forage, so these days Sistem's bandit life is going well, eating nearly a hundred different kinds of meat.

Unlike the smooth discovery of the anthill, the exploration of Systm has not been very smooth these days, and he has found no other slimes within a few hundred meters of the vicinity.

On the contrary, he encountered two more magical creatures, but he could only choose to avoid these two magical creatures.

A large blue-gray bird with its feathers entwined with blue lightning, and Systham only saw it from a distance and hid in the grass to prevent it from being eaten by the bird as a snack; The other was at night when he saw a bat glowing red with blood, the bat was also a hunter who liked to catch insects, and Systham saw that it was directly clinging to the ground, and gave up foraging for the night.

However, instead of looking for other slimes, the slime that Systermum was following was rejuvenated after resting in the mud for three days.

It regained some of its size, was slightly smaller than a soccer ball, and then continued to forage in the forest.

The slimes and the ants are mortal enemies, and with only a little guidance from Sistt, the slime fights another nest of ants.

The result of the battle was the same as the last time, although the types of ants were different, but the slime escaped from the anthill in the same way, the gelatin was filled with ant corpses, and the fragmented gum was scattered all over the ground in the process of escaping.

Systm was also able to swallow the gelatinous food a second time......

Over the course of nine days, Systm had eaten slime gum twice in the same way.

Due to the amount of experience provided by the slime, Sistem's level was increased to level 10 on the ninth day, and his size grew further to 10.5 cm.

The talent [Transformation Growth] was raised to the full level of 13 as he had planned, and he also learned the conditions for the third transformation - to reach level 12.

The third metamorphosis at level 12 is undoubtedly good news for Sistem.

It may be difficult for other grasshoppers, but it's easy for Systm, who spends his days searching for meat.

Even if he didn't deliberately pursue upgrade efficiency, just by snatching the food of these ants, in thirty days, Sistemm could easily reach level 12 and complete the third metamorphosis.
