Chapter 21: Queen (Part 1)


   The withered yellow exoskeleton of the giant grasshopper is very hard, and it is covered with unknown complicated patterns, which should be some kind of leaf vein patterns.
   It has a pair of golden and deep compound eyes, and slender tentacles like a katydid.
   The huge grasshopper flew down from the sky and stopped in front of Sisterm, exuding a peculiar smell, Sisterm felt it smelled very good.
  Sisterm felt the grasshopper in front of him extremely beautiful.
   Many unexplainable emotions were born in his heart, and he even had an urge to kneel down and worship.
   But this feeling of wanting to worship is far inferior to another emotion-the desire to mate with each other.
   This is the instinct in the blood of all insects.
   Look for a strong mate, and then mate with each other, breed strong offspring, and let the strong offspring pass on their blood.
   Sisterm forcibly suppressed his slightly trembling body due to excitement. He possessed a human soul, and he really couldn't imagine his mating scene with a grasshopper less than half of his opponent's body.
   And if he mates with each other now, he will be greeted with a mortal end in three days.
   The fear of death caused Systrom's excited body to gradually calm down.
  Sisterm carefully observed the huge female grasshopper in front of him. The grasshopper did not act closer to him, but tilted his head as if looking at him.
  Sistem also felt relieved when he saw this. If this big female grasshopper wanted to mate with him, and wanted to die with him, his current body is really hard to resist.
   The principle of mating between insects is very simple. The stronger the individual, the stronger the attraction to the opposite sex.
   Conversely, if one's own strength is weaker than the opponent, it is difficult to attract the opponent.
   This is the case with this female grasshopper in front of Sisterm. Obviously, it does not intend to mate with Sisterm. If Sisterm forcibly moves forward, it may be attacked by this female grasshopper.
  ……
   Two grasshoppers, one big and one small, looked at each other on an unknown plant.
  Sisterm thought and felt the mysterious aura exuding from the other party, not the female scent that attracted the opposite sex, but the mysterious aura that made him want to crawl on the ground.
   This female grasshopper measuring 25 centimeters in length seems to be the queen of grasshoppers.
   Its body is covered with strong exoskeleton and huge chelating teeth. It is estimated that the natural enemies of insects, lizards and birds, are also difficult to defeat. Ordinary insect hunters, mantis or katydids, can only avoid it when they see it.
  Sistem speculated that this female grasshopper can emit a mysterious aura like a grasshopper queen, and it is likely that it has completed the third degeneration.
   I don’t know what it went through to achieve the third degeneration of the grasshopper.
   It may be a gift or an adventure.
   There are tens of millions of grasshoppers in the forest every year. It is not impossible to give birth to such a special individual.
   It is a pity that insects have very low IQs and cannot communicate with each other. Sisterm cannot ask each other, and cannot obtain specific information about the third metamorphosis through this species.
   However, as Systrom was thinking, he suddenly heard a soft voice.
   "Let's go, together."
   The sound was very soft, but Sisterm heard it very real, and Sisterm subconsciously turned the tentacles on his head to detect the source of the sound.
   He twisted the worm's head and looked around, but found nothing.
   "You, are you going, together."
   The soft and strange voice came to Systrom's mind again.
  Sisterm finally discovered that the sound was not actually a sound, but a unique ability similar to the communication of ideas.
  The creature that sent this thought message was the female grasshopper in front of Sisterm.
   "Let's go, together."
   The female grasshopper made a sound again. She seemed to have wisdom, but her use of language was very poor and her message was very clumsy.
   Systrom's bug head showed a look of surprise unconsciously.
   Compared to the wild boar that can emit flames, or the old druid who can heal wounds, the grasshopper in front of him is undoubtedly more surprising to Systrom.
   is not just like the Zerg Cerebrate’s telepathic ability is special enough, but the creature that uses this peculiar ability is his kind, a distant relative of a different kind of grasshopper.
   "Let's go, together."
   The grasshopper queen sent a message again, and Sisterm finally recovered from his surprise.
   The ability of the Grasshopper Queen is amazing. Sisterm can feel his spirit connect with the other's spirit, and through this ability he can communicate with each other.
   "Where are you taking me?"
  Sistem tried to send a message to the other party through this spiritual connection.
   He found that sending a message was extremely easy. As long as he imagined speaking the words, the spiritual message would be passed on to the other party naturally.
   The Queen Grasshopper tilted her head and glanced at Systrom, showing a look of confusion. It didn't take long for her to send a spiritual message again.
   "You are different."
   "You...I am very special, different from...they..."
   The female grasshopper's use of mental information is very clumsy. It seems that there are many words she cannot say, but Systrom still understands the meaning of the female grasshopper's message.
   "Do you want to say that you and I have wisdom, different from ordinary grasshoppers?"
   "Zhi... Hui?"
   "Well, wisdom." Systrom answered in the affirmative.
   The female grasshopper seemed to be lost in thought and did not continue the conversation with Systrom for a long time.
  Sistem just waited quietly like this. Not long after, the female grasshopper suddenly looked at him and sent countless messages to him.
   These mental messages are combined with each other to form strange and familiar images in Systrom's mind.
   These images are very familiar to Sisterm. It is the image that emerged from his blood when he entered a new level after his [Insect Resilience] was upgraded to level 11.
   There are countless grasshoppers in groups in the picture. Together, they fly over mountains and mountains, and over ocean lakes, seeming to be looking for a mysterious place.
   "Let's go together?"
   The huge female grasshopper once again sent a spiritual message to Sisterm. Sisterm finally understood what the female grasshopper's invitation was.
   "Why are you going to such a remote place? Is there anything there?"
Systrom thought for a while and asked the other party. Perhaps the other party’s [Insect Resilience] level is higher and knows more secrets~EbookFREE.me~ The grasshopper queen showed a look that seemed to be longing and went west. Sturm delivered a message: "Want to go and see."
   The world is so big, I want to see it.
   The message sent by the Grasshopper Queen is simple and pure. If ordinary humans say this to Sisterm, he will most likely use it as an excuse and will never believe it.
   But the Grasshopper Queen obviously can't lie, nor can she lie.
   has no other purpose, the grasshopper queen simply wants to see the vast world.
   Sisterm shook his head gently, and sent a message to the queen: "I can't go with you, I want to stay here."
   "Why?"
   Seeing the queen's look, Systrom thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "The life span of 60 days is too short. I don't want to waste time exploring the world."
   The grasshopper queen showed a puzzled look, and she continued to deliver spiritual messages to Systrom.
   "You, and me, together, afterwards, mating, offspring."
   The female grasshopper seems to want to say a very long sentence, but her words are difficult to connect completely.
However, Sisterm still understood the Queen’s message. She meant to let Sisterm go with him. Later, when Sisterm was about to die, she would breed offspring with Sisterm. Sturm left his descendants, letting his blood continue to pass on.
   Inheriting their own blood is the instinct that all insects are born with. Compared with their own death, they are more afraid of not being able to leave offspring.
   But Sisterm was different. Sisterm obviously hoped that he could live longer than leaving his offspring to die.
  Sistem looked at the huge female grasshopper in front of him, not knowing what to say...
