Chapter 8: Level of ability

　　 Seeing the distant fire approaching, Sisterm immediately jumped to the back of the tree where he was to hide.
　　 The body of insects is very flexible and responsive.
　　 But his hiding position was slightly off, and he was still hit by the heat wave emitted by that creature. Half of his tentacles were slightly discolored, and he was obviously burned.
　　 Fortunately, except for the fragile tentacles, although other parts of Systrom's body were also impacted by certain heat waves, they did not suffer any obvious damage.
　　 Galloping creatures with firelight resemble wild boars. Not long after, four or five green-skinned creatures with weapons appeared behind the wild boar, some resembling fantasy world goblins or goblins.
　　 These green-skin monsters shouted and chased the wild boar, and soon disappeared in the dense forest.
　　The wild boar that can emit flames and the creatures that resemble goblins undoubtedly explain to Sisterm that the world he lives in is a magical world depicted in previous novels or games.
　　 "Magic world..."
　　Sistem sighed for a while and didn't think about it. For a grasshopper, no matter what kind of world it is in, there is no obvious difference.
　　 And compared to these powerful creatures that can use mysterious powers, Sisterm is still more afraid of ordinary birds or lizards that can eat it at any time.
Gently rubbed the discolored tentacles on the top of his head. The tentacles that were impacted by the heat wave suffered a lot of damage. Although they could still rotate, they had almost lost their original effect. Body repair.
　　 There is only one antennae left, which makes Systrom's body balance worse. It is difficult to maintain stability when jumping. If the barbs on his feet are not strong enough, he is likely to fall to the ground during the jump.
　　……
　　The ground in the dense forest is very humid, so the wild boar releasing the flame did not cause the forest fire.
　　 Several burning flames quickly extinguished by themselves, and only some scorching smell wafted in the dense forest.
　　 Dozens of butterfly pupae that faced the heat wave are still intact, some of them may be twisted from time to time due to the sudden heat wave. It seems that the heat insulation ability of the shell of these insect pupae is very good.
　　Sistem looked at these chrysalis and shook his head helplessly. He still has nothing to do with these chrysalis.
　　 But because of the sudden appearance of the flaming boar, Systrom found a new source of food.
　　 Activate the derived skill [Information Reading], Sisterm jumps towards the path where the flame boar moves. There is a high possibility that some unlucky bug corpses will appear on this burned path.
　　 As Sisterm had expected, after just jumping a few meters away, he found a green katydid on the ground that fell to the ground and twitched constantly.
　　 The pair of tentacles of this katydid were all scorched, and half of his body became a little yellow from the burn.
The appearance of 　　 katydids is similar to that of grasshoppers, but they are a bit larger than grasshoppers, and their cheek teeth are sharper. They are a typical omnivorous insect.
The katydid in front of Sisterm is 7 or 8 cm in size, which is about 4 times the size of his body. If it hadn’t been for this katydid to have been dead or seriously injured, Sisterm would definitely go around as far as he saw it. far.
　　Sistem immediately found the angle and bit at the fragile joint of this katydid's head!
　　 Ji Si's feet were scratching randomly, and his body still had some sensation, but these tumultuous feet did not touch Systrom's body.
　　 It didn’t take long for the katydid’s head to be completely bitten off by Sisterm, announcing the complete death of the katydid.
　　 Sisterm began to eat with confidence, if the katydid was only temporarily dizzy from the heat wave, he would be the one who would kill him.
　　 Slashed through the soft abdomen of the katydid with his chelate teeth. Sisterm greedily sucked the flesh and blood of the katydid. He found dozens of small oval-shaped worm eggs out of the abdomen of the katydid.
　　 If it weren't for the accident of the flame boar, it might start laying eggs in a few days.
　　 The meat tastes very good, it tastes like rich cheese.
　　 These small insect eggs also taste very good, some are similar to banana cream pudding, and they help him grow slightly less than katydid meat.
　　 Watching the data of [Self-Information Generation Technique], Sisterm estimated that if this katydid was eaten about one-third, his level would be raised to level 6, and he would gain further growth.
　　 The meat is very nutritious. After Sistem has eaten for only ten minutes, his abdomen swells up. It is obviously difficult to digest these nutritious foods quickly.
　　Sistem can only move his body continuously around Ji Si so that he can accelerate his body's digestion.
In this way, after nearly two hours, Systrom ate nearly one-third of the carcass of the katydid. At this time, his abdomen was swollen into an incredible degree, like a grasshopper about to lay eggs. .
　　His experience reached the critical value again at this time, and then he upgraded to level 6.
　　 A feeling of soreness and tingling all over his body appeared, and the food in Sistem's abdomen was rapidly digested and absorbed. His body of nearly 2.5 cm enlarged again, growing to 3.2 cm, and the wing buds on his back extended to a third.
　　 This time, the level of his talent [Degeneration and Growth] did not increase, but he clearly felt the growth of his body's blood. As long as he continued to eat nutritious food, the level of 【Degeneration and Growth】 would definitely increase.
　　 At the same time, Sisterm's [Insect Adaptability] (9/21) was once again increased by two levels, reaching [Insect Adaptability] (11/21).
　　Sisterm felt the power of [Insect Resilience] in his bloodline became more active, and conveyed a mysterious picture to his mind.
In that picture, he was transformed into an unfamiliar green-tailed grasshopper, following tens of millions of various locusts flying over mountains and lakes. They even jumped over the cold glacial world and over the lava. The lava mountains...
　　 In the image from the blood, Systrom has seen countless colorful worlds.
　　 He even had an urge to fly with the grasshoppers.
　　 When Sisterm recovered from the screen brought by [Insect Adaptability], all his derived abilities from [Insect Adaptability] were all improved.
[Insect Intuition] (2/5) is promoted to [Insect Intuition] (3/5); [Leg Regeneration] (2/11) is promoted to [Leg Regeneration] (4/11); [Dark Vision] (2 /5) Upgrade to [Dark Vision] (3/5); [Acid Resistance] (1/4) to [Acid Resistance] (2/4).
　　 The tentacles on his head have been restored to their original condition at some point, and he has acquired a brand new derivative skill [Fire Resistance] (2/7).
　　……
　　[Fire Resistance] (2/7): Obtained by the talent [Insect Adaptability]. UU reading www.uukanshu.com passive ability. Has resistance to flames and high temperatures.
　　……
　　 The changes when the talent [Insect Adaptability] was upgraded to level 11 were similar to the changes when the talent [Degenerate Growth] was upgraded to level 11. Both made Systrom feel the inheritance information from the bloodline.
　　 Sisterm speculates that when the ability level reaches 11, he enters a brand new level, otherwise it is impossible for him to have such a huge change.
　　 At the same time, when the ability level reaches 11, it will become difficult to improve. This is why his [Degenerate Growth] has been unable to continue to grow.
　　 On [Self-Information Generation Technique], Sisterm did not find detailed information. Sisterm speculated that [Self-Information Generation Technique] was too low level, so it was impossible to analyze higher levels of power.
　　 After a brief thought, Sisterm continued to devour the body of Ji Si.
　　 After the upgrade, the chewing teeth became hard again, and the speed of chewing the cartilage of Ji Si's body also increased by nearly one third.
　　 As long as the cartilage is eaten, the chelate teeth and exoskeleton of his body will be harder. After upgrading again, he will be able to eat stronger food, such as the hard carapace on the head and chest.
　　 But he didn't give Sisterm too much time to devour, and Sisterm hadn't eaten half of the katydid's corpse. A dozen dark-brown ants appeared not far from him.
　　 Ants are like hyenas that specialize in snatching food from cheetahs. As long as there is the smell of the carcass of the prey, they will appear quickly, and then them unreasonably.
　　 The Sith could only jump and leave helplessly. The leopard had a trick to take the prey to the tree to avoid the hyena, and he has no way to deal with this group of ants...
