Laws of the Insect Hive

The coma this time was obviously longer than the last time. When System woke up, he found that he must have been in a coma for two days, because the water in the forest depression had subsided and only about ten centimeters remained.

Just like the scene he felt in the digital sea before he passed out, System's [Numeric Code] (2/2) was upgraded to [Numerical Code] (3/3), but he did not get any new abilities.

However, apart from the unsatisfactory enhancement of the talent [Numerical Code], System's body has undergone tremendous changes.

His body grew from 5 centimeters to 6.5 centimeters in size, more than twice the length of an adult green-tailed grasshopper.

The hind limbs became stronger and stronger, and System felt that he could jump five or six meters directly, which was more than twice as high as before.

At the same time, his newly formed claws were also very sharp and strong, and System could even use these claws to bite out traces of the bark that he had no choice but to do before.

A pair of sturdy wings appeared on System's back, and System felt that he could fly continuously for hours on these wings.

However, this pair of wings also had obvious shortcomings. After System tried to flap his wings, there was a roaring sound from his wings.

There was a roar similar to a helicopter, and the momentum was extraordinary and deterrent, but it was obviously not good news for System, who kept a low profile and survived peacefully after the rebirth.

In addition to the changes in the body surface, after becoming an adult grasshopper, some of System's abilities have also been improved, and his [Green Camouflage] (2/4) has been upgraded to the full level [Green Camouflage] (4/4).

The leaf vein pattern of the grasshopper's body is more realistic, and at the same time has the ability like a chameleon. As long as he stays on a certain plant for a long time, the color pattern of his body will slowly change to that plant.

Another ability that can be improved is the [Smelly Mucus] (4/7) secreted in the mouth of the grasshopper. This skill has undergone tremendous changes due to System’s second metamorphosis and has become a brand new derivative ability. [Corrosive Slime] (7/13).

...

[Corrosive Slime] (7/13): Abilities obtained from [Smelly Slime], [Degenerate Growth], and [Insect Resilience]. It can secrete a strong corrosive mucus to attack, and can also use this corrosive liquid to assist digestion. System's unique derivative ability.

...

System didn't know that his ability to acquire this brand new ability was actually related to his coma.

The strength enhancement of [Degenerate Growth Mode] [Numerical Code] failed to generate new abilities, and a lot of enhanced strength escaped, and because of System's coma, the remaining part of the strength flowed with the blood of the grasshopper's body. Randomly strengthens System's glands that secrete [Stinky Mucus].

As a result, this ability that was born by coincidence is also considered to be a slap in the face.

The newly-appeared [Corrosive Slime] undoubtedly increased System's means of attack. The corrosive liquid secreted by the glands in his throat had a very strong effect. It could corrode the same weight of bark into sap in ten seconds. It can be drunk and recycled by him.

Relying on this [Corrosive Slime], System had the confidence to easily break open the worm pupae that he could not do anything about and become his food.

...

...

System, who came out of the dead leaves again, felt that the weather in the forest had cooled down a bit, but because of the second molting, the cooler weather did not have much effect on System, and he did not appear to be physically present in the past. Stiff state.

System jumped with ease, and after flapping his wings and trying to fly a few short distances, he started heading towards the tree full of butterfly chrysalis.

Although he already has the derivative ability [Hunger Resistance Physique], his body is still very hungry after molting, and he is eager to taste the taste of those worm pupae.

However, System suddenly saw a slightly dry-yellow leaf fall from the sky while he was moving forward, and System, who was constantly jumping, gradually stopped.

A leaf knows autumn.

An old saying from a previous life suddenly appeared in System’s mind—the grasshopper in the autumn will not roam for a few days.

...

...

The information from the [Self-Information Generation Technique] confirmed the correctness of the old saying in System’s previous life, that the grasshoppers in the post-autumn era really won’t be able to hop around for long.

His [self-information generation technique] analyzed his remaining lifespan in detail.

Because [Self Information Generation Technique] (1/1) is upgraded to [Self Information Generation Technique] (2/2), the information on the data panel becomes more and more detailed.

System gave a quick glance when he just woke up, but because he was very hungry after molting, he decided to eat first, so he hadn't noticed the new information about lifespan before.

System was stunned as he stared at the 63-day lifespan in the [Self-Information Generation Technique]. At the same time, he also felt the more detailed records of the grasshopper's lifespan in his bloodline.

Unlike adult grasshoppers, although the survival rate of grasshopper larvae is very low, they have no lifespan limit before becoming adults and can live indefinitely.

This was also one of the reasons why System ignored the lifespan of the grasshopper during the larval stage, because he would not feel the limit of his lifespan during the larval stage.

However, although the lifespan of grasshopper larvae is infinite, no grasshopper larvae can escape the fate of becoming an adult.

Once they become adults, although the physical fitness of grasshoppers has been greatly improved, their infinite lifespan has become directly limited, generally ranging from a few weeks to a few months.

The lifespan of an adult green-tailed grasshopper is in the middle of all grasshoppers, with a little over two months.

But even so, few green-tailed grasshoppers can really live for as long as two months, because after the grasshoppers mature, they have a special mission, which is to reproduce offspring.

When the grasshopper successfully finds a mate and completes the mating, the lifespan of the male grasshopper will be directly reduced to three days, and the female grasshopper will die within a few hours after laying eggs.

As long as the task of reproducing offspring is completed, the grasshopper's life will be successful.

...

System stared blankly at the calm water beneath him, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

Because it is different from the powerful wisdom of ordinary grasshoppers, and the bloodline inheritance of up to level 12 [Metamorphosis Growth], System now has a clearer and more detailed understanding of the green-tailed grasshopper species.

Recalling that he had tried every means to accelerate his level up and turn himself into an adult grasshopper, System couldn't wait to slap himself a few times.

He so desperately transformed himself into an adult grasshopper to improve his chances of survival, which was equivalent to pushing himself into an endless abyss.

His chances of survival have improved now, and he can even defeat the hyena-like ant squad, but so what? It's not the same death in two months!

The human soul gave System wisdom, but it also made him subconsciously ignore the lifespan of grasshoppers, making him think that he lived as long as a human being.

He thought that spring and autumn would come year after year, but he ignored the life of a grasshopper after summer and autumn.

In fact, he should have noticed that if he had noticed the lifespan of grasshoppers earlier, he would not have transformed into an adult so rashly, and he would have made more preparations before transforming into an adult.

It's just too late.

But at this moment, a special figure suddenly appeared in System's mind, the old Druid who was half-recumbent.

"Can he help me?"

System raised the worm's head to look at the sky outside the gap in the jungle, and a unique hissing sound came out of his mouth.

Although he lost the memory of his previous life, System, who was reborn, did not want to end his life in two months.

He wants to live longer...
