Chapter 147: Hostile Species (Part II)
"That's how it is, using the blood of insects to grow quickly to absorb nutrients, and then waiting until the insects grow to a certain stage, or when they suffer a crisis, they will turn from insects to demons."
Systm put the torn little devil's arm in his mouth and chewed it, the smell of the limbs was a little hotter than the previous taste of centipedes, and the other sweet flavors were about the same.
Sistemm couldn't say whether it was better or a little worse, but his experience bar had risen a little more than when he had eaten centipede limbs before.
……
And after tearing his arm off the little demon's body, Heatham was also able to determine that when the big centipede transformed into a small devil, Heatham could no longer feel the other party's emotions.
Although the little devil let out a wail of pain, Syst did not feel any emotional fluctuations from the little demon's body.
It seems that through this transformation of the big centipede, this little demon has been dominated by the demonic bloodline.
However, there are still many differences between this little devil born from the flesh and blood of a large centipede and the little devil that Heatham had seen in the Lierte Forest before.
Among them, the head, neck, chest and abdomen are not much different from ordinary little devils, all of them are reddish-brown bodies, but this kind of little devil does not have magic horns on the top of its head, but two insect antennae.
The biggest change was that the limbs of this little demon had become insect feet with a reddish-brown carapace attached.
And Systm discovers that, unlike ordinary little demons, the blood of this little devil is as cold as an insect, not warm.

"After changing from a centipede to a little insect demon, my strength has even decreased, and I don't know if all the little insect demons are like this."
Throwing the half-eaten little devil's arm to Shava to the side, Systham made a hoarse sound in his throat as he looked at the information [Probe Analysis] had revealed.
Ignoring the little devil's painful wails, Systm continued to wrap his tentacles around the little devil and [perceive].
Sistemm discovers that this little worm demon is the same as the big centipede, it has no gender, and still does not react to Sistum's aphrodisiac tentacles.
And the expression on the face of the little devil read a lot.
There's resentment, there's anger, but more often there's cowardice and fear.
The wailing little devil purred from his mouth, as if he was cursing and begging for mercy from Sisstem.
Obviously, after the birth of this little devil, he naturally mastered a foreign language.
However, in addition to having wisdom, the little worm demon is much weaker than the previous big centipede, whether it is the strength of the little worm demon or the courage of the little worm demon.
……
However, when Syst heard the curse from the little worm demon, what he thought of was very abnormal.
It's been more than two years since he came to this world, and Heatham has gradually come to terms with his own bug way of thinking, and he wouldn't be surprised under normal circumstances.
But this time, Heatham was a little surprised.
Because when he heard the little devil's cursing, he thought of nothing else, but the little devil's voice was very good, and the voice in his throat was too hoarse.
Yes.
Systm wanted something very strange, he wanted to remove the vocal cords of the little devil's throat and look at it, compare it with his own vocal cords, and try to use the ability of [Body Deformation] to adjust the vocal cords to make his voice better.
Heatham looked at the little devil's constantly vocalizing throat, and soon stretched out a dozen tentacles with [carapace spikes] and poked them into the little devil's throat.
The little devil's eyes gradually changed from panic to cruelty and resentment before death, and finally died.
Unfortunately, due to the imp's dying struggles, Sistum's [Carapace Spike] stabbed a little off, piercing the vocal cords in the imp's throat, and further damaging the imp's vocal cords in the process of tearing the imp's throat with his tentacles......
……
"It's a pity, I knew I should have killed it first, and then brought it back and slowly dissected it with a dagger......
Systham threw the imp's body to the ground, then flew into the sky again, re-investigating the surroundings.
Despite breaking his vocal cords, Heatham's mood was slightly unhappy.
But Systham knew that what he had to do now was not the minutiae, but how the centipede demon appeared.
When the centipede demon was seen eating the flesh of zombies, Systham had already determined that the reason for the appearance of the centipede demon should be a means used by the Abyss Lord Augen to deal with the undead in the Warren Plains.
But how exactly these centipede demons appeared, Systm doesn't have any clue yet.
These centipede demons with no reproductive ability appeared one after another within half a month, which was obviously very abnormal, and it was impossible for them to be teleported from the abyss.
Systm speculated that the centipede demon must have adopted some special means of breeding, and that there should be more centipede demons and worm demons born through centipede demons.
Sure enough.
Flying in the sky, Systm soon spotted the target again a kilometer away, and this time Heatham spotted two centipede demons not far apart at the same time.
These two large centipedes were much smaller than the ones Sistemm had encountered before, one about 50 centimeters and the other 60 centimeters.
When Systm first saw them, the two large centipedes seemed to be biting and devouring some of the plants in the grassland that had not yet completely withered.
However, as the two centipede demons gradually moved against each other, the two big centipedes seemed to have spotted each other at the same time and rushed towards each other quickly.
Soon the two centipede demons were entwined and bitten together, and dark red blood splattered everywhere.
Heatham also flew down in time.
Sistemm thought that the two centipede demons might let go of the hatred in their hearts when they saw Sistem, and attack him with the same hatred.
But in fact, this is not the case, even if Systum and Shava came to the position of the two centipedes less than two meters away, the two centipedes also turned a blind eye to Heatham, and still fought each other, wanting to kill each other.
The two centipedes seem to prefer to kill their own kind rather than Systm and Shava.
Seeing this, Systham finally understood why he had transformed the powerful centipede into a demon.
This kind of attack method and growth speed may be able to give birth to powerful individuals, but it is not conducive to making the race prosperous, so this large centipede was transformed into this by the swarm druids.
Of course, this is just a speculation on the part of Heatham, and it is not necessarily entirely correct.
Regardless of whether Systham's speculation is correct or not, this new species in the Warren Plains is bound to pose a threat to his ant people.
Not only will they take the initiative to invade the nest of the Systham, but they will also plunder the food that should belong to the ants, restricting the development of the Heatham ant people.
……
Looking at the two centipedes not far away, Systm didn't make a move immediately.
Just quietly watching the fight between the two centipedes, it didn't take long for the slightly larger centipede to successfully kill the smaller centipede.
And the big centipede, which had killed its own kind, finally found Systran and Shava next to it, and quickly rushed out in the direction of Sixtham.
It seems that this centipede demon prefers to attack the living than the dead.
Half a meter away from Sistum, the centipede that tried to threaten him was split in half from head to tail by Shava......
And Sistemm also suddenly discovered the moment the centipede died.
It was time to turn this centipede demon into a small insect demon, and then take out the intact vocal cords and kill it......
