Systrom's view of this chrysalis only stayed for a few hours before it changed.
When Sisterm took the time to examine this chrysalis with [Spirit Connection] that night, Sisterm felt an abnormal mental message.
To be precise, the tone of this spiritual message makes Systrom feel strangely familiar
"Where is this, why am I stuck here? Forget it, so sleepy..."
This kind of unusually familiar and fluent spiritual message surprised Systrom.
However, when Systrom sent a spiritual message to try to communicate with the other party, the spirit inside the chrysalis seemed to fall asleep again, without any reaction.
seemed to be telling Sisterm that the spiritual message he had just felt was an illusion.
But the database in Systrom's [Tools Menu] clearly recorded everything before, and he just felt that the spiritual message sent by the chrysalis was true.
The power of the ice and the familiar tone made Sisterm unconsciously associate the butterfly worm pupae with the former lord of the glacier.
But it was obviously impossible again. Such a powerful existence turned into a butterfly, and Systrom obviously felt that it was not real enough.
Maybe this is just a butterfly with a high IQ like the worker Blake, but with a slight mental abnormality.
……
After Sisterm used [spiritual connection] to connect with this butterfly pupa continuously, Sisterm finally felt the pupa's awakening again at noon the next day.
After the chrysalis awakened, it once again expressed the feeling of confusion because it was trapped inside the chrysalis.
Sistem sent a spiritual message to this chrysalis at the right time: "Who are you?"
"Who am I...?" The pupa seemed to be thinking.
It doesn't seem to remember who it is, and after thinking about it for a long time, it can't figure out who it is.
Soon this chrysalis gave up thinking about what it was, and instead sent a spiritual message to Sisterm: "Great existence, can you let me out of this dark space?"
"You want to get out of it?"
Sisterm gently shook the pupa a few times with his tentacles. The liquid inside the pupa was only slightly viscous, obviously there was still a long distance from the pupa.
If you break the pupa open now and let the juice from the pupa flow down, it will undoubtedly kill the pupa on the spot.
However, Sith waited for the pupa for a long time, and the pupa did not answer. It seems that as he shook the pupa with his tentacle just now, the pupa's consciousness fell into a deep sleep again.
……
……
Seven days later, Sisterm and his ant people smoothly left the border of Liert Forest and arrived at the Warren Plains.
Although the border on the Warren Plains is also covered with a layer of snow and black ash from the eruption.
But when Sisterm stepped out of the Lilter Forest, Sisterm clearly felt the temperature change. The temperature of minus 30 degrees the previous moment instantly rose to more than ten degrees below minus.
At a distance of less than ten meters, the climate inside the forest and outside the forest has an extremely unscientific difference, and even the black ash falling on the ground is much less.
After communicating with the butterfly chrysalis two or three times in the past seven days, Systrom also had more speculations about the relationship between the chrysalis and the lord of the glacier.
Sisterm speculates that this butterfly chrysalis should be attached to something like the remnant soul of the glacier lord, and this remnant soul has lost its memory.
sometimes awake, sometimes deep asleep, not completely normal when awake, has obvious cognitive impairment to the surroundings, a bit silly.
Butterfly chrysalis can't remember anything, but when Systrom mentions words such as Lord of the Glacier, Winter Will, Aura, etc., the chrysalis will show dazed emotions and then express doubts.
While it was confirmed in Sisterm that this butterfly pupa may be something like the remnant soul of the glacier lord, he was very confused about how to deal with this pupa.
The best way is undoubtedly to put this butterfly pupa aside, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
But to be honest, although the culprit for becoming the tentacle monster is Aura, Sisterm has always had a good impression of Aura, Lord of the Glaciers.
If he or Shava who joined the Winter Army is threatened, Ola will definitely help him solve the problem if he learns about it.
Now that Ola is in trouble, and when he meets him, he should also help each other.
After all, the chrysalis now comes with frosty energy. If the chrysalis are placed at will, it will undoubtedly be covered with frost, and it is easy to be found by the jackals.
He can actually bury the chrysalis in the ground, so that there will be no abnormalities around the chrysalis.
But that way, the butterfly will suffer unexpected disasters the moment it bursts out of the pupa. Even if it survives and crawls out of the mud, its wings that cannot fully extend will make it deformed.
Sisterm finally passed this question directly to Chrysalis himself.
Sisterm told the other party that it was a butterfly in pupa, and passed the image of the butterfly's pupa to the chrysalis, letting him choose what he would do in the future.
Is he going to kill the pupa immediately and commit suicide, or find a place to wait quietly for the pupa to emerge, or follow him.
It is obvious that the chrysalis, who is not low in intelligence, chooses to follow the "great existence" of Systrom.
Sisterm also decided to take this chrysalis until it bursts out, and when it turns into a butterfly, let it leave, wherever it flies.
……
Because of Frost Slime’s departure, and the food consumed by the ants on their way increased exponentially, when Systrom took the ant team out of the Lilter Forest, Systrom clearly felt their food Not enough.
After all, under the current conditions of Systrom, it is impossible to make suitable tools to carry food.
He tried to build a simple sleigh cart with two smooth bark and some vines more than ten days ago, but he only experimented a few times, and the sleigh cart he built all day was broken. Up.
So Sistem can only let the ants use the most primitive transportation method ~EbookFREE.me~ Let the ants directly use their bodies to carry food and move.
The consumption of food by the ants obviously exceeded Sisterm's expectations, because the food planned by Sisterm was enough for them to get to the destination with one third left.
This is because Sisterm took the initiative to share the work of transporting all the pupas. The queen Linda’s pupa was nearly 30 centimeters in size, and the pupas of the two second-pupated soldier ants were ten centimeters, and there were other miscellaneous insects. pupa.
If he hadn't grown to forty centimeters after he reached level 15, and Shava had helped him carry Linda the queen from time to time, otherwise his body would be very difficult to bear.
Although the food is reduced, the speed of the ants will increase a little, but it will take at least ten days to settle in the green grass close to 300 kilometers away.
The food carried by the ants of Weststrom can only last for four or five days.
"Can you only dig snow and ice and eat some grass seeds or roots under the snow?"
Ants are omnivorous insects. They can also survive by eating some grass when they are hungry. Although Systrom has not eaten plants for a long time, it is obviously not a problem to eat some plants as a grasshopper. As for his son Xiaorouqiu , It can even eat the black ash falling from the volcano.
In fact, after discovering that the food might not be enough three days ago, Systrom refused to give the meatball any food, and only let it eat some soil or the freeze-dried grass leaves under the snow.
Of course, Systrom himself did the same. For three days, he ate some freeze-dried grass plants with Little Meat Ball.
But if this continues, eating hay will undoubtedly reduce the mobility of the ants of Weststrom, and it will undoubtedly take twice as long to go to the green grassland three hundred kilometers away.
