Laws of the Insect Hive

System moved along the passage of the temporary nest. As he got closer to the exit of the nest, he could smell the scent of many worker ants and heard the sound of many worker ants moving.

There seem to be a lot of worker ants patrolling around his nest.

"Could it be Shawa commanded?"

As System emerged from the hole, more than a hundred ants in the vicinity gathered towards him as if a pot had exploded.

The soldier ant Shava's command level to the ants obviously did not improve significantly. These ordinary ants still regarded him as an enemy, and they attacked him without hesitation after seeing him.

System did not bounce, and the carapace covered with intricate lines on his back gently opened.

Like a feather blown by the breeze, System flew up.

After the third molt, System's body and wings had undergone significant changes, his body became lighter, and his wings became more flexible.

However, System couldn't explain exactly what changed in the structure of the wings, but it was obviously more usable. He could easily control his body to hover in mid-air.

Not only that, the sound he made when flying became extremely slight, no longer like when he was an adult just now, as long as he flapped his wings, there was a roaring sound.

System gently flapped his wings and flew above the group of worker ants.

With the rise of System, this group of worker ants did not continue to pursue System, and continued to sway around System's nest by swaying their tentacles.

The flying System did not continue to watch the group of worker ants, he suddenly smelled a scent of Shava's body.

Flying along the unique smell in the air, he soon found the soldier ant Shawa next to a small sapling a few meters away.

...

In two days, the wound on Shawa's body had condensed into a light gray blood scab.

System found that, except for the granulation of the broken antennae on the top of Shava's head, Shava's other broken legs showed no signs of continued growth.

It seems that Shava does not have the ability to [regenerate severed limbs] like him.

System did not choose to disturb the soldier ant Shava immediately, but just looked at her from a distance.

Even though he was a few meters away, he could easily see Shava's every move with his current vision.

System felt that his eyes were sharper than those of an eagle, and he could even vaguely see a piece of dead leaf mixed in the clouds in the sky.

Shaking the insect head, System focused on the soldier ant Shava not far away.

With only one leg left, Shava is obviously much more flexible than when he was seriously injured two days ago.

Her abdomen seems to have become her second leg, and Shava uses the only remaining left forelimb and abdomen to move like "jumping" on the ground.

Shava opened her huge fangs and slammed into the small sapling!

After biting the plant, Shawa checked the wound on the stem of the plant with her remaining feet, slowly moved to the original position, and then rushed to the stem of the plant again to bite...

System observed that there were at least dozens of wounds on the stem of the plant, and Shava should have practiced on this plant for a long time.

"Could it be because of the video I gave her?"

System recalled the spiritual message he sent to Shava before he completed his transformation, as well as the image of the knight he imagined.

In his fantasy image, there is a knight who is always practicing chopping with an iron sword against a wooden stake.

Perhaps it was because of this video that Shawa started to practice like this. Although she didn't have a big sword, she was born with a pair of huge claws, so she practiced biting around here.

System didn't think that the human knight's suit could be applied to bugs, not to mention that the image was not real at all, it was just a fantasy in his mind.

System felt that instead of practicing like this, it would be better to eat more food in the same amount of time to increase the size of the body. This is the correct way for insects to grow.

What's more, Shava's current body is too disabled, and this kind of practice will not produce any results at all.

System decided to stop Shava from practicing like this.

However, just after he watched Shava biting practice twice again, System stopped...

System’s dark green compound eyes seemed to have a flash of blue light.

Opening the database in the [Tools Menu], System carefully compared Shava's three exercises, and found that the feeling just now was not wrong.

Shava is progressing, she will think after each bite, and then fine-tune the next bite of the plant.

The strength of the bite could not be clearly observed by System, but the speed of Shava's sprinting towards the plant was slightly faster each time.

"A coincidence? Or the potential of a bug? Or is it that Shava is gifted?"

System stopped, quietly observed Shava's practice, and used the [Tools menu] to record statistics.

In one hour, Shava bit the plant 131 times, of which 117 times Shava sprinted faster than the previous one.

In comparison, Shava's sprint speed after an hour was nearly a quarter faster than that at the beginning.

As Shava bit again more than a dozen times, the two-centimeter-thick woody plant seedling was finally completely bitten by Shava.

Although I don't want to admit it, practicing like a human is really effective for Shava, and it seems that the effect is quite good.

...

After completely biting off the plant, Shava seemed to start eating the food piled up next to her because of her physical exhaustion.

Seeing this, System flew down from a high branch and used [Spiritual Link] on Shava.

Shava was obviously stunned for a moment. She expressed a feeling of doubt, but this emotion turned into joy immediately. She used her broken body to crawled in front of System excitedly.

System found that the stinger in Shava’s abdomen suddenly protruded, and he was very puzzled.

Could it be that Shava is going to attack him with a tail needle?

It's impossible!

I saw Shava suddenly flipped her body, and then used the tail needle to insert it into the soil. She even used the sting needle at the tail to stand upright.

Shava, like a human, used the only leg left on her chest and made a very funny pose.

The claws in System's mouth twitched slightly involuntarily, feeling a little embarrassed. He really didn't understand what Shava was doing with such a bizarre movement.

System asked Shava, "What are you doing?"

"Swear an oath!"

The spiritual message from Shava was full of pride and triumph.

"The oath? Uh... what you did, was it a knight's oath?"

"Yes!" Shava replied excitedly.

System's fangs twitched uncontrollably again, watching Shava's embarrassing movement, he felt that it was a mistake to hand Shava the image of the knight in his fantasy.

A good ant, what a mess!
