Chapter 27: Locust crossing (Part 1)

　　Because of the continuous consumption of slime before the upgrade, after the level rose to 10, Westem’s [Corrosive Slime] (10/15) was upgraded to [Corrosive Slime] (11/15).
　　 As Sisterm has always inferred, the ability level 10 and 11 are completely different levels.
　　 His [corrosive slime] has been improved in all directions in terms of spray distance, slime capacity, viscosity, and corrosivity.
　　 And the most significant increase in [Corrosive Mucus] is the activity that only appears when the slime is swallowed.
After the level rises to 11, the [corrosive slime] secreted by Sisterm’s glands can really move. Although it can’t bounce like a slime, Sisterm can control this slime to move slowly on the ground. , About the same speed as the crawling snail.
　　 This kind of mucus is like an extension of his body organs, and Systrom can manipulate these mucus like his hands and feet.
　　 But Systrom also has many limitations in manipulating these slimes.
　　 The mucus cannot be too far away from him. If it exceeds 20 centimeters, he cannot control it, and the mucus will lose its activity after more than one minute after it leaves the glands in his throat, and can no longer be controlled.
　　 In short, just using the activity of mucus is not enough to be an effective means of attack.
　　 But even without relying on the activity of the slime, his [corrosive slime] can be used as his hunting tool at this time.
　　Through continuous mucus spewing and the powerful mobility of the grasshopper's body, after Sisterm rose to level 10, he successfully hunted down an eight-centimeter piebald spider disguised as a yellow and white flower.
　　 The hunting process lasted about an hour.
Systrom is very cautious. Usually, after each exhalation, in order to prevent the spider from breaking out, he will be separated from the spider by half a meter. When the spider's mood is calmer, he will continue to approach the spider by a distance of 30 cm. Perform long-distance spitting.
　　 That's it. At first, the spider still had the heart to find him to fight. Later, the spider would just keep running away, and even shrank into a ball to play dead on the ground.
　　 It was not until one hour later, after vomiting several times, throwing dead branches and rubble a few times and seeing the spiders unresponsive, Sisterm confirmed the death of the spiders.
　　 The spider's body is obviously resistant to [corrosive slime]. Sisterm wasted a lot of slime in order to hunt this spider, and even eating all of this spider would not make up for his consumption.
　　 So Sisterm just tried it once, and decided to concentrate on robbing ants in the future, instead of doing the thankless action of hunting spiders.
　　 But no matter what, being able to kill highly poisonous spiders unharmed, Sisterm undoubtedly climbed a level in the food chain of this forest.
　　…………
　　 At noon, after visiting his old friend, the slime recuperating in the mud in a dark corner.
　　 He jumped to the top of the tallest tree nearby.
　　 After estimating the time, Systrom took a look at his [Self-Information Generation Technique], and he had 51 days left in his life.
　　 Looking at other information about [Self-Information Generation Technique] at will, Systrom found that his estimated combat power had somehow changed to 0.8.
　　 went from 0.4 at level 9 to 0.7 at level 10. At noon today, his estimated combat power increased again to 0.8.
　　 As for the combat power in [Self-Information Generation Technique], Sisterm had no real sense. He didn't know how this combat power was calculated.
　　 And besides himself, he didn't even know how much other people's combat power was.
　　 Every time his combat power improves, Sisterm only knows that he has become stronger again. As for how much he has become stronger, he himself is not clear.
　　 shook his head, Sisterm glanced at the sun in the sky and at the same time looked far in one direction.
is coming--
　　 Since three days ago, at this time of the day, Systrom could feel a faint breath fluctuation.
　　 Sure enough, it didn't take long for the blood in Systrom's body to tremble slightly.
　　 This time he came to the top of the tree and felt more clearly.
　　 This is a peculiar and familiar aura that resonates with the blood of a grasshopper, and seems to be calling him, making him unconsciously want to fly in that direction.
"is it you?"
　　 A familiar figure emerged in Systrom's mind, his kind, the grasshopper queen.
　　 From this breath, Systrom felt something familiar. It seemed that the grasshopper queen was summoning the grasshoppers.
　　 She wants to lead the grasshoppers to fly over the mountain lake and explore the vast world like those pictures in the blood of grasshoppers.
　　Sistem was at the top of the branch, his compound eyes saw twenty or thirty vague figures flying out of the nearby trees, which should be his kind.
　　 These grasshoppers flew over the forest and flew toward the source of breath.
　　 At the same time, with a few harsh chirps, a big brown-red bird sprang out of the forest and began to chase the grasshopper flying in the sky...
　　……
　　 "Is it really worth it? Even so, I have to explore the world..."
　　 Watching the same kind who are being chased and fleeing by the birds, Sisterm silently jumped from the top of the branch, and his heart suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
　　 What exactly was uncomfortable, Systrom himself couldn't tell.
　　 jumped off the branch, Sisterm continued to do his old job, robbing ants.
　　 It seems that as long as he robs the ants, he can feel better...
　　 Two days ago, Systrom found a tree hole in the height of a thicker tree. The tree hole was not very large and could not accommodate his body.
　　 However, because the tree hole is higher from the ground, few ants pass by, and this tree hole becomes a warehouse for Sisterm's food.
　　Usually grab some non-perishable food from the ants. Sisterm will store the food in the tree hole, and then use the leaves of the plant and his mucus to plug the hole in case of emergency.
　　 The weather has gotten cooler these days, and Systrom can often see scattered leaves among the trees. UU reading www. uukānshu.com
　　 Autumn is getting closer and closer.
　　Sistem found that the plants in this forest were strange. Some of them were obviously tropical plants and some were subtropical plants. He could not analyze the climate here and whether it would snow in winter.
　　Sisterm knew he had to make more preparations, otherwise even if he completed the third metamorphosis, his blood was not warm, he would become a lump of ice in the snowy world.
　　Sistem can think of a way to dig a hole underground. As long as he has a two-meter-deep underground hole, he can effectively withstand the severe winter cold.
　　 Although the grasshopper does not have the ability to hibernate some creatures, the dormant state of the insect itself is not bad. Then he will bring some food into the burrow, and it should not be a problem to spend the winter.
　　 And if this forest does not freeze in winter, it would be great. He can continue to go out foraging in winter.
　　……
　　 After deciding on the wintering plan, Sistem will study the structure of the ant nest from time to time during his free time snatching food from the ants, and prepare to choose a suitable location to dig a hole for the winter.
　　 Five days have passed again. As [Degeneration and Growth] has reached the full level, Systrom's degree of picky about food has been greatly reduced.
　　His experience bar has been increased by half, and it is estimated that he will be able to reach level 11 in five days.
　　 But it’s a bit regretful. The slime, an old friend who had been with Sisterm for more than ten days, finally broke and shattered during a battle with ants, and was drowned by ants gushing out of the ant nest, completely dead...
　　 In these five days, the special breath from the grasshopper queen has become stronger.
　　 And in the early morning of this day, Systrom, who was snatching ants, found that the grasshopper queen flew not far from him...
