Chapter 14: distressed

　　Sisterm gently shook the insect's head, looking for the old druid is obviously unrealistic.
　　 Even if the old druid is really capable of extending his lifespan, he is really willing to help him, but it is not easy to find the old druid in the huge forest.
　　Sistem seems to have experienced a lot these days, but the range of activities is only 100 meters.
　　 And how much does one or two hundred meters in the forest occupy?
　　 It is obviously difficult to spend a lot of time betting on everything to find the old druid, and the old druid may have left the forest.
　　 didn't think of a good way, what Sisterm finally thought of was his talent [degeneration and growth].
　　 He still has a silver lining, which is to undergo the third degeneration.
　　 He has turned into an adult grasshopper in the second decay, and he will definitely change his body the third time.
　　 And the sound of the mysterious and mysterious world in the process of degeneration, it will definitely have a special effect on him.
　　 Even if the third degeneration and the voice of that world cannot extend his lifespan, it can improve his strength.
　　 Even if he was still at a loss at that time and his physical fitness was improved, he would find the old druid faster and more efficiently.
　　……
After thinking about everything, Systrom's expression became firm, and his immediate goal is to complete the third transformation as quickly as possible, leaving more time for him in his short life. Make a selection.
　　 As for the urge to mate with female grasshoppers that made him very irritable before, Sisterm found that he could easily suppress it now.
　　 After all, as long as he mates once, he will only have 3 days of life. The horror between life and death has made Systrom's willpower for mating countless times stronger.
　　Sistem jumped quickly to the tree full of worms.
　　 A few days later, the pupae of these lepidopteran insects are still the same as before, none of them has turned into an empty shell.
　　 The current season is late summer and early autumn. I don’t know if these chrysalis are waiting for the pupae to emerge in the spring of next year, or they will mate and lay eggs in the past few days, allowing the worms’ eggs to hatch over the winter.
　　 When I first came here, these 6cm-sized chrysalis were much larger than his body, but now Systrom's body shape is larger than these chrysalis.
　　Sistem was not polite, and directly bite these chrysalis with his dark-brown claw teeth.
　　 After the second decay, Sistem's cheek teeth are two or three times stronger than the larvae in terms of hardness and bite force.
But after the bite, Systrom found that even then he still could not bite the solid shell of the pupa, leaving only slight scratches on the shell of the pupa. It seemed that the pupa was stronger than the bark. .
Systrom remembered the experience of eating silkworm pupa in the previous life. The shell of the fried silkworm pupa is very hard, even with human teeth. If the temperature of cooking silkworm pupa is not enough, the shell of the silkworm pupa is even more so. Hard to eat.
　　 The shell of this chrysalis seems to be almost as hard as the silkworm chrysalis eaten by Sisterm in his previous life.
　　 Because of Sisterm's bite, the chrysalis obviously felt threatened and twisted slightly.
　　 Seeing this, Sisterm stopped trying his cheating teeth, and directly used the biochemical weapons he obtained after turning into an adult.
　　 [Corrosive slime] launch!
　　 Corrosive sap is secreted from a special gland in Sisterm's throat, dripping down his cheek teeth onto the chrysalis.
　　 Although this corrosive mucus has a strong destructive power, it is still very rusty when Sistem has just mastered it. It can only secrete not much at a time, and it cannot kill the enemy with one blow like spider or scorpion venom.
　　 But this kind of slime is really the perfect weapon for this kind of pupae that has super defensive power and cannot escape.
　　 The dark brown mucus and the tan pupa shell caused a wonderful chemical reaction. After ten seconds, the pupa shell gradually turned grayish white.
Systrom’s chelated teeth poked in time, accompanied by the white slurry flowing out, the pupa trembling fiercely, and Systrom also tasted the wonderful taste of the pupa, which was a mellow sweetness like hot chocolate .
　　Sistem's chelating teeth again secreted corrosive mucus, further expanding the gap of the chrysalis, and then speeding up to suck.
It’s softer than the molting water bug that I ate a few days ago. Nearly nine CDs of lepidopteran larvae in the pupa are sticky liquid. It’s not so much eaten by Sisterm as it is Sisterm drank it gradually.
　　The Lepidopteran larvae in the chrysalis do not know what kind of structure they are, their vitality is very tenacious, and they are still trembling slightly after being drunk by Sisterm one-third, until Sisterm swallows half of them and then completely motionless.
　　 This kind of chrysalis is very nutritious. If Sisterm turns into an adult grasshopper, he might be able to increase his level by only eating two of them.
　　 But after becoming an adult, Sisterm found that his experience bar has become extremely slow. It is estimated that it will take 12 to increase to level 9, which is 6 times that of the larva.
　　 Fortunately, Systrom obtained [corrosive mucus] when it morphed into an adult. This liquid can not only be secreted into his mouth, but also into his stomach, speeding up his digestion.
　　 With [Corrosive Mucus], his digestive ability has been increased by half, and Systrom estimates that he can successfully digest two worm pupae before dark.
　　 After dark, Sisterm, who had been stubbornly avoiding danger, decided to continue devouring these worm pupae.
　　The forest at night may be more dangerous, but his remaining lifespan is running out. If he doesn't fight for it at this time, he will have no chance in two months.
　　 There are 42 pupae left here.
　　 Excluding the necessary rest time, Sisterm should be able to eat 3 and a half chrysalis during the day and night, and reach level 9 within 4 days.
After 　　 reaches 9th level, his stomach capacity and digestion speed will be further improved. It shouldn't be a problem to eat 5 eggs a day.
Because of the gradual increase in experience required to level up, 12 pupae are required for level 8 to level 9, Systrom speculates that about 25 pupae are required for level 9 to level 10. These 42 pupae should only be enough for him to level up to level 10. A little more.
　　After calculating it carefully, after 10 days, he can eat all these chrysalis, and then raise the level to 10.
　　 Systrom's bug head showed a contemplative look. He opened the light curtain of [Self-Information Generation] and looked at his level-8/15.
　　 15 is his upper level limit, which represents the limit that the blue-tailed grasshopper can reach, and 8 represents his current level.
　　 There are 63 days left in his lifespan. After more detailed calculations, the look on Sistem's head gradually became gloomy.
　　 Assume that he has sufficient and nutritious pupae that he can eat without stopping and eliminate any unfavorable, dangerous and unfavorable conditions.
It takes 3.5 days to upgrade to level 9 and a little more than 5 days to reach level 10. However, the rate of level increase will be slower and slower. If you calculate this rate, the speed of each upgrade It takes about half the time.
　　Then the time from level 9 to level 15 can be roughly estimated.
　　 3.5 days, 5 days, 7.5 days, 11.5 days, 17 days, 25 days, 37 days, a total of 106 days.
　　 Even if he has enough food, he promises to take a break every day, in addition to eating and digestion. It takes 106 days for him to reach level 15.
　　 By then he had been dead for more than a month.
　　 If his [Degeneration Growth] reaches full level, the inheritance information from the bloodline tells him that he must be level 14 or 15 before he can undergo the third degeneration.
　　 If there is no miracle, even if he died, he would not be able to achieve the conditions for the third degeneration.
　　……
　　 The tentacles on top of Systrom's head kept shaking, and he went into contemplation again.
　　 The most urgent task is to upgrade the level of [Degeneration and Growth] to level 13 as much as possible. Only in this way can he know the specific information of the third degeneration.
　　 And the method of rapidly improving the [degeneration and growth], Sisterm has noticed in the vague information appearing in the blood, that is, try to eat different kinds of insects or other creatures that can degenerate or pupate.
　　Sistem, who eats insect pupae, made a new decision in his thoughts. After eating two pupae, he decided not to eat this kind of food and instead hunted other small insects.
　　Only by eating a variety of foods can he increase the level of [Degeneration and Growth] to level 13 the fastest, so that he can know how many levels the third degeneration will take.
　　 If the third degeneration requires too high a level to complete, he will also make other preparations early.
