Laws of the Insect Hive

System used his tentacles to pick up some muddy snow. The snow on the border of Warren Plain was not very deep, only about ten centimeters. grass seeds.

System once again prepared to use the [Generate Plant] ability to try to generate some grass seeds.

In the icy Lilte Forest, his ability is not very ideal. I don't know how it will be in the Warren Plain, whether it can produce some fresh grasses as food.

However, just as System was about to use the ability of [Growing Plants], System's tentacles felt some unusual noises.

Not long after, a dark gray mouse nearly half a meter in size suddenly emerged from an underground cave ten meters away.

Not only this mouse, but also nearly 20 gray and brown mice, ten to fifteen centimeters in size, came out of the mouse hole one after another.

These rats seemed to have intelligence, and they organized around System's ant people, rather than attacking System's ant people at once.

The mice seemed to want to surround all of System's migrating ants, not letting any of the ants escape.

The dark gray mouse in the lead was not standing on all fours like an ordinary mouse, but stood like a human, and it held two white bone daggers as its weapons.

These two daggers are a little bigger than the half-meter body of the mouse, and they are more like two bone daggers in the hands of the rat.

The dark gray rat man has some pieces of bone fragments that are pieced together, which is similar to armor, but in fact, the protection of this armor is basically close to zero, more like decoration.

There was some mucus from the corner of the Rat Man’s mouth, and his eyes showed humanized greed, apparently treating System and the Ant People as food.

The Rat Man muttered some unknown language in his mouth, and seemed to have some wisdom.

...

Seeing this scene, System showed a strange expression. He was just worried about the food, but he didn't expect food to be delivered to his door.

In the past few months, System and his ant people have successfully climbed the food chain. With Shava's ability, he can be said to have stood at the top of the mortal world.

Shava, who can easily defeat even the fierce gnoll warriors, is obviously not a problem to kill this rat man.

It was just System's impression that the Warren Plains should be the territory of gnolls and pig-headed people, and there was no clue about these rat-men.

whoosh-

Before System could issue an order to Shava, a green spike of ten centimeters sank into the chest of the Rat Man's body.

The rat-man screamed and fell to the ground, his body twitching because of the paralyzing toxin injected...

The small meat ball flying in mid-air retracted a long meat tube into its body, and at the same time conveyed joy to System.

After seeing the rat man lying on the ground and twitching, the remaining nearly twenty rats were puzzled for a moment, and then immediately ran away. There are other rat holes out there.

System also did not let Shava pursue these rats that were escaping. With such a huge rat serving as food, it was enough for his ant people to stick to the grass 300 kilometers away.

Even as long as half the body of this mouse is enough.

However, System's order did not stop the small meat ball in mid-air. It spread its wings and stretched its tentacles and dived down from mid-air, directly throwing a small mouse to the ground.

"Father, I caught it!"

It didn't take long for the little meatball to fly to System with the corpse of a little mouse, sending him a somewhat proud spiritual message.

System sighed helplessly in his heart. Because of the lack of food these days, Little Meatball can only eat some dirt and hay, and his mood has been very low.

System can only coax the little meatball like a child, saying that as long as it catches enough food, it can eat normal meat.

It was precisely because of this that Little Meatball did not wait for System's instructions and took the lead in attacking the Rat Man.

"Then eat it."

Hearing System's words, the little meatball wriggled and transformed into a large mouth full of fangs, biting the little mouse it caught in half, and swallowing half of it.

System didn't watch the meatballs eating too much, but came to the rat man who couldn't move because of the paralyzing poison.

A look of panic appeared on the Rat Man's face, and System used his tentacles to pick up the dagger in the Rat Man's hand.

This is a dagger made from the bones of a creature that System does not know. It looks very delicate and sharp. The handle of the dagger is wrapped with brown flannel of unknown material. good.

System found a line of peculiar marks on the bone dagger, which seemed to be text, but System did not recognize it at all.

After coming to this world for a few months, although he had the opportunity to learn words, because the ice elf Neris acted as a translator, System was lazy and did not study.

But even if Neris didn't fall into a deep sleep, she who only knew Elvish and Dragonspeak might not be able to understand this rat-man script.

However, after eating the golden acorn before, System had the opportunity to inherit the Druid's knowledge and acquire many foreign languages.

It is a pity that he did not have the qualifications to obtain the Druid inheritance, and he lost this part of foreign language knowledge as a matter of course.

Holding the bone dagger with his tentacles, System aimed the dagger at the Rat Man's throat and decided to kill the Rat Man.

But just as System was about to start, he retracted the dagger again, stretched out his tentacles at the same time, and pulled out the dark green spikes on the Rat Man's chest.

The effect of the paralyzing toxin of the small meatball is not bad, and the paralytic toxin on the spikes will not disappear even after more than ten days.

System estimated that after pulling out the green spikes, he would be paralyzed for about two hours in the shape of a rat man.

Turning his head to look at the small meat ball that was still chewing half a mouse, System suddenly felt a little irritable.

Why does the little meatball have to use the poison attack?

If this rat man were to be killed now, there would undoubtedly be some paralyzing toxins in the rat man's blood, which would undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble for the ant people to eat.

Fortunately, the little meatball didn't use the red poison needle containing deadly toxins this time. Otherwise, the killed rat man would not even think about it except the little meatball that he could eat.

...

Letting the ant people continue to rest, System wrapped two daggers around his tentacles. In front of the paralyzed Rat Man, he used the daggers to dig the soil under the snow. At the same time, he tried to use the power of [Growing Plants]. Try getting some grass seeds to sprout and grow.

System was waiting, just waiting for the paralyzing effect on the rat man to be lifted, he would stab the rat man with a dagger in the throat, and then let Shava use her double blades to dismember the rat man, and take away some of the rat man for portability. of meat.

Maybe the weather was still cold at minus ten degrees, or maybe it was not strong enough. After ten minutes of System's use of the power of [Growing Plants], a few grass seeds only sent out a one-centimeter-sized bud. No matter how much he used his power, the shoots would not continue to grow.

While System was using two daggers to scrape the soil on the ground and tap the ground in a boring way, System's tentacles suddenly smelled a stench.

It might be that System’s actions put a lot of pressure on the rat man’s heart, and the rat man who was paralyzed became incontinent…
