Chapter Twenty-Nine: The End
The torrent of locusts gathered flew over the forest in swarms like a picture of bloodline inheritance.
They may also fly over rivers and lakes, over mountains, and even on the snowy plateaus.
But that doesn't matter......
After following the swarm of locusts for more than ten minutes, Systham's speed gradually slowed down and finally stopped.
The path he was going to follow was different from that of his fellow locusts.
Looking at the Queen's figure from afar until it was blurred, Heatham began to return to the forest he knew.
"Because the grasshoppers are destroying the surrounding plants, it looks like I'm going to find a new foraging spot again."
"It's a pity that the warehouse where the food was stored is going to be abandoned."
"But it doesn't matter, it's good to find another similar warehouse, I don't know if the queen's trip will be as she expected, I hope she goes well......"
Dispelling some of his sentimental thoughts, Systham's head shook and flew down from the forest.
Heatham habitually turned on [Info Reading] to detect movement around him.
He spotted hundreds of ants on the ground biting at the carcass of a mouse, and Systham jumped over it, the first time he had seen a rat since a rainstorm.
The rat was still fresh, and should have just been dead for a short time, apparently the rat that had survived the rainstorm......
Systm was about to snatch some rat meat from the ants, when a peaceful and serene aura fluctuated from afar.
It is the direction in which the grasshopper torrent gathers.
Feeling this peaceful aura of extreme intimacy with nature, a figure conjured up in Systm's mind, the old druid.
With this particular fluctuation, the cicadas that had been resounding in the forest suddenly fell silent.
Sistemm watched not far away a blue dragonfly perched on the leaf buds of a plant suddenly fly up and in the direction of the peaceful aura.
At the same time, hundreds of reddish-brown ants on the ground became chaotic near the rat carcass, trying to get to the source of the peaceful breath, but unwilling to give up the food they had found.
This peaceful aura has a powerful attraction to insects, even more than a dozen times stronger than the kind of fluctuations emitted by the grasshopper queen.
"Is that the old druid? What is he going to do? ”
Jumping to the tip of the branch, a very unusual green glow appeared in the distant forest in Sistum's blurred vision.
"What's that?"
Sistemm hesitated, spread his wings, and flew in the direction of the green light.
As the distance drew closer, a few minutes later, the swarm of locusts, which had been far away, became clear again in Sistrem's eyes.
Countless grasshoppers, as well as some flying insects such as dragonflies, cicadas, and butterflies, surrounded a giant green ball of light about ten meters long.
The grasshoppers formed a torrent of tornadoes and flew around the ball of light, exuding indescribable excitement.
The grasshoppers had their revelry again, and the intensity of the revelry was even more intense than at noon.
The grasshoppers circled around the green ball of light, sucking the energy of the ball of light, and they became more excited, and their flight speed became significantly faster.
This orb of light also has a great attraction to Sistum, who is a little moved.
Could it be that by devouring the energy of this ball of light, he will become more flexible like grasshoppers?
Heatham was ready to fly over and taste the taste of this green energy.
But halfway through the flight, Systm suddenly stopped.
He noticed the figure below the green orb.
He saw the old druid's emotionless expression, a complete difference from the smile he had on his face when he rescued the big bird.
For a moment, Systham was stunned.
He suddenly understood.
He understood what was wrong with the second time he met the old druid, and he felt something was wrong when he saw the good-hearted old druid saving the big bird.
Underneath the crippled bird, there were actually two ants that were also seriously injured.
While saving the birds, the old druid chose to ignore the injured ants.
People like to choose cats and dogs as pets, and when they see others abusing their pets, they will even regard each other as scum, but they can swatt flies and mosquitoes without burden.
After trying to empathize, Heatham suddenly understood what the old druid's approach was.
In the old druid's mind, grasshoppers may not be natural creatures worth approaching, but locusts that destroy nature!
If it was a druid's nature and duty to protect the harmony of the natural world, then the druid's approach at this time is self-evident.
This green ball of light with a diameter of ten meters is probably similar to the scent of plants and trees emitted by the slime.
It's a trap!!
……
"But they just want to explore this vast world!"
In Sisttm's sight, several skinny grasshoppers had already appeared and had fallen from the sky because they had lost their strength, and they were motionless with their wings outstretched, falling from the air like snowflakes.
And the other grasshoppers are still having a carnival without knowing it......
Unwillingness, loneliness, resentment, or other emotions filled Sisstem's heart.
Systm looked at the old druid with a completely different gaze.
[information reading] starts!
There seemed to be a blue halo in Sistum's compound eyes, and he searched for the grasshopper queen, and if there was anyone who could stop the grasshoppers from sending them to death, it would be the queen.
As Sistemm searched for the Queen, a figure rushed towards him at great speed, holding him firmly with its feet.
Before Sistham could find the Grasshopper Queen, the Grasshopper Queen spotted him and captured him.
The Grasshopper Queen is very fast, and even if she catches Systham, she can fly two or three times faster than Systham's full strength.
She fled the green ball of light with Sistemm at great speed......
"Don't... Closer, that green light... ...... at risk"
The Grasshopper Queen sends a spiritual message to Sistem, and her spiritual message reveals many worries.
"Danger? Don't you ......?"
The grasshopper queen did not respond to Sisttum's spiritual message, but only grabbed Sistum to escape......
As the grasshopper queen continued to fly, Systham felt the grasshopper queen's body twitch from time to time, and the frequency of the twitches became higher and higher......
The grasshopper queen has apparently fallen into the trap of the old druid, just like the grasshoppers that fell from the sky.
Systham twisted his body hard, but found that he could not break free from the grasshopper queen's feet.
In this way, as the frequency of the grasshopper queen's body convulsions increased, after a few minutes, the grasshopper queen's speed gradually decreased......
Eventually, she could no longer fly, and the two grasshoppers fell from the sky to the ground.
Even as she fell from the sky, the Queen's feet and limbs clung to Sistem.
Systm twisted his body again, only to find a strange power surging towards him from the Grasshopper Queen's body.
There was a refreshing sensation of numbness coming from the body, somewhat similar to the feeling of the body when the level was raised, but it was completely different.
This power seems to act on his spirit, a mystical one.
Pictures and images came to Systham's mind.
The perspective of the picture is from a small withered yellow grasshopper.
Unlike Systham, this little grasshopper's compound eye has much better eyesight than Systm's, and it can even see subtle changes in the clouds in the sky.
From escaping from an ant's chelica shortly after birth to feeding on leaf buds to grow, the experience of this little grasshopper reminds Sistemm of his cautious life when he first woke up.
This little grasshopper often looks at the clouds in the sky and likes to jump to the top of trees to look around, even when it is attacked by birds and almost dies......
Scenes of images were connected, and in just a few breaths, Systham had finished watching the grasshopper's experience for several months.
At the end of the video, Systham sees himself, a green-tailed grasshopper who always likes to shake the antennae on his head to think.
Systham could feel what the emotions that welled up in the heart of the heroine in the video, the grasshopper queen, when she looked at him......
As the image transmitted by the Grasshopper Queen ended, the Grasshopper Queen's grip on Sisttm's body slowly loosened.
Sistem's experience bar reached the peak of level 10 at some unknown point, and he gained a special ability [Teleportation], as well as a derivative ability [Psychic Connection] attached to [Teleportation].
……
Telekinesis (6/22): A special talent gifted to Sistemm by Kun. The ability to communicate with all things, and can transmit some special powers.
[Psychic Connection] (6/11): A derivative ability obtained from [Teleportation]. You can connect your spirit with the other person, so that the other person can gain the ability to communicate with you temporarily.
……
The Grasshopper Queen's body twitched slightly, and several of her feet were no longer able to move, leaving only half of the slender tentacles to turn towards Sistem, but no matter how she turned her tentacles, she couldn't touch him.
Systham leaned over and touched his tentacles with the Queen's, knowing that the Grasshopper Queen wanted that.
Using his newfound power [Psychic Connection], Systm reconnected his spirit with the spirit of the Grasshopper Queen.
“… I didn't see it, the vast world ......"
The Grasshopper Queen's golden compound eyes were a little dim, and she stared at the clouds in the sky and let out a soft sigh, and then she turned her gloomy gaze to Systham.
"Can you help me, one thing......"
Heatham immediately responded, "Yes, as long as I can do it." ”
"I know you like to eat meat, so, eat me, take me to see, go see ......"
With a gust of wind, the grasshopper queen's tentacles fell, and her body was completely motionless......
"You ......"
Systm sent a message to [Psychic Connection], but there was no object on the other side of [Psychic Connection].
His body trembled slightly for some reason, and all kinds of inexplicable emotions unconsciously welled up in his heart.
Sistm tried to stop his trembling body, and as the queen had wished, he slowly aimed his chelica teeth at the queen's corpse, opening, closing, opening again, and closing again, and so on......
Systham tried to get his chelica off, but found he couldn't.
Systham eventually dropped his chelica.
He dug into the ground with his chelica and limbs, digging and digging!
He was going to bury her body......
