Chapter 44: The Gnolls

Unlike the Queen, who gave him [Teleportation], Systm was able to grant Shava [Regeneration of Severed Limbs] in a fundamentally different way.

In fact, abilities such as [Regeneration of Severed Limbs], which have nothing to do with psychic power, cannot be transferred using [Psychic Transmission].

Systm gave Shava [Amputated Limb Regeneration], which was not essentially a transfer ability, but a means of activation.

Use the [Insect Adaptability] talent in the Sava bloodline to activate Shava's possible [Severed Limb Regeneration] ability.

Therefore, when Shava gains the ability of [Regeneration of Severed Limbs], Sistum's [Regeneration of Severed Limbs] does not disappear as a result.

……

The attempt to use tentacles for Sava undoubtedly provides a new direction for the future of Heatham.

He can use the power of [Teleportation] and [Ability Enhancement] to activate Shava's [Severance Regeneration].

Then he can also use this special power to activate some unique abilities for himself from the [Insect Adaptability], insects with strange forms and habits, and have countless unique abilities.

Heatham felt that the idea was well worth trying.

After pondering for a while, Systham wrapped his tentacles around the unconscious Shava and led him back to an empty chamber in the makeshift lair.

Placing Shava, Heatham examined the ant larvae in the makeshift nest.

Heatham found that the first batch of ants that had congealed into pupa seemed to have reached the stage where they were about to break out of the pupae, and it seemed that it would take another day or two for them to become adult ants.

The larvae of the male and female, whom Sistemm paid special attention to, were now growing very healthy, and when they saw him approaching, they felt the same intimacy as before, and they did not feel distant because they had not touched each other for two days.

After calming all the ant larvae and pupae, Syst came to a special empty room, and in the corner of this empty room were two golden discs - the eyes of the grasshopper queen.

Heatham couldn't eat the Queen's corpse, so he ended up taking off the Queen's eyes.

Gently wrapping the two eyes with his tentacles, Heatham emerged from the lair again, spreading his wings and flying towards the sky at breakneck speed.

He was much faster than the queen and had more powerful wings.

As the flight gradually increased, Heatham felt the wind in the air getting stronger and stronger, and the strong wind even carried some severe cold, and Heatham even felt a hint of stiffness in his body.

The grasshopper's body is very light, and Systham's body has a hard time maintaining balance in strong winds.

At first, Systm intended to take up the wind, but after flying for a while in high school, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sensation in his body.

Flying, not by brute force alone.

Heatham slightly changed the angle and amplitude of his flapping wings, and with the fierce wind blowing again, Heatham went with the wind—

The speed of the grasshopper's body suddenly nearly doubled, and with the help of the power of the strong wind, he rose towards the sky at an even faster speed.

As the altitude rose, the air became much thinner and the temperature became colder, but eventually, Systm flew into the clouds in the sky.

"As I said, clouds are just a form of water, you see, like fog......" Systm said silently in a spiritual message alone in the clouds.

And when Systm, who was in the clouds, looked below the clouds, he couldn't help but be a little stunned.

Flying has been a dream of human beings since ancient times, and it is undoubtedly a wonderful feeling to be in the clouds and watch the world.

Beneath the smoky clouds, Heatham saw the endless glacial mountains thousands of kilometers away, the endless green forest, and the vast grasslands on the edge of the forest on the other side.

Near a lake, Heatham also saw flocks of orange-brown butterflies flying by......

The [Eye of Sistem] obtained from his third metamorphosis made Sistum's eyesight extremely powerful, and he could even see the hole in his makeshift nest in the forest through the clouds, but it was difficult for him to see the ants patrolling the hole.

Sistemm looked into the forest and looked closely, and it wasn't long before he spotted two slimes in a mire a few kilometers away from him.

Not only the slime, but Heatham also found that there seemed to be a village of green-skinned creatures more than ten kilometers away from him, and he also saw some kobold creatures, some similar to the jackals in the fantasy world.

These gnolls seem to have some kind of dispute with the goblins.

The temperature of the clouds in the upper air was low, the air was thin, and Sistemm stayed for a while before flying down.

Storing the Queen's eyes in the lair, Systm flew towards the village of greenskinned creatures.

It wasn't that he had any thoughts about these goblins and gnolls, but that he wanted to learn about the world by observing these sapient races.

Sistum's first meeting with the green-skinned creatures was a few days after he awoke, when a flaming boar ran past him and three green-skinned monsters chased after him with clubs.

At that time, his compound eyes could not see things in the distance, and his sense of the things around him was not very accurate.

In fact, now that I think about it, the flames emitted by that wild boar are actually not strong, otherwise it would not have been pursued by the three emaciated green-skinned creatures.

After listening to the voices of the world, Systm has gained a deeper understanding of the power system of this world.

The boar and slime that emitted flames were supposed to be creatures that transformed into magical life, just like him and the grasshopper queen.

However, compared to the grasshopper queen and himself, Systham felt that the boar and the slime possessed magical powers were somewhat different.

They also have the feeling that Systm has heard the sounds of the world.

"Is it because of the descendants of magical creatures, the power of inheritance in the bloodline?"

Systm speculated, but he didn't know exactly what the real situation was.

……

Weedy nests, filthy environments, and as the distance approached, Heatham's tentacles smelled the stench of some feces.

For the first time, Systm felt that possessing this [olfactory heightened] ability wasn't necessarily a good thing.

Maybe the smell of feces is delicious to maggots, but grasshoppers' bodies are clearly annoying.

These green-skinned creatures apparently have no human building skills, and they don't even know how to build ordinary dirt houses, just a few shacks made of branches and weeds.

These shacks may provide some cold wind at night, but they are definitely not protective of the rain.

Perched on the branch of a tree, Heatham listened carefully and observed the communication and conversation between the two creatures below.

There are about two dozen goblins in this green-skinned creature colony, and only three gnolls have arrived.

The gnoll is very strong, about 1.9 meters tall, while the goblin is very thin, and the adult goblin is only about 1.2 meters tall.

The three gnolls roamed the goblin's village, speaking an unknown language to the goblins, who seemed very flustered......
