Chapter 124: Pupation (Part 1)

　　 Once Systrom has made up his mind, he will immediately execute it without hesitation.
　　Sistem returned to the lair and immediately studied with the excavator how to dig a tunnel down in the water.
　　 At the same time, Systrom also called Black and Shava to plan the development of his pupalized lair.
　　Because he was completely unable to move after becoming a chrysalis, Sisterm had only one tone for the nest, and that was low-key.
　　 When encountering an unknown existence, unless the other party has obvious intention to attack, try not to provoke it.
　　Sisterm decided to let the ant people reduce or stop the excessive hunting of mice, try to keep the surrounding food chain as normal, and at the same time not to expand the scale of the ant people temporarily after the ant queen Linda burst out of the pupae.
　　Ola, the lord of the glaciers, has become a butterfly, but winter will still appear in the Lierte Forest and Warren Plains.
　　 This winter will not be as cold as before, but it will also float above and below zero, and occasionally snow and ice will fall.
　　 rashly expand the size of the ant population. When the food is scarce in the autumn and winter, the ants will definitely fall into an inevitable crisis.
　　 Shava and Blake nodded from time to time, receiving the spiritual message of Sisterm.
　　 However, there is a clear difference between the two ants. The wise Blake has basically understood the meaning of Sisterm's words, and Shava just kept nodding his head just like Blake.
Sisterm decided to leave the matter of his pupation to Black’s sole discretion, but Black’s position in the lair is really not very high. After the ant queen Linda breaks out of the pupa, there may be some differences, so West Sturm called Shava and told Shava to follow Black's instructions completely.
　　 Only in this way can Linda the queen follow his instructions completely.
　　Except for Linda, the only factors that are unstable in the nest are Butterfly Ola and his son Xiaorouqiu.
　　 After these days, the small meat ball has recovered to the size of basketball, and the strength has basically returned to the level that Sisterm encountered for the first time. There will be unimaginable consequences if you go crazy.
　　 But Little Meatball has low intelligence, simple mind, and besides Systrom, he is also very kind to Black and listens to Black's words very much.
　　 As long as you are careful not to leave the small meat ball on the side to make it feel lonely, and often take it outside to let it out, there is basically no problem.
　　 As for Ola, this awkward butterfly is a bit tricky, after all, he has the frost power that Sisterm is also very afraid of.
　　 Although Ola always does things that he feels contradictory, Ola has his own principles.
　　 I can't say that he is evil, nor can I say that he is kind, but there is one thing that Ola is similar to Sisterm, he will not hurt allies.
　　 may behave unreasonably, but he has never abused his frost ability to freeze ordinary ants into ice.
　　 And after activating the ability of Aura's [severed limb regeneration], Systrom discovered that Aura's attitude towards him has changed inexplicably these days.
　　 On the surface, Ola still treats him the same as before, but Ola will sometimes unconsciously spread intimacy to him, just like Shava, making Systrom feel very uncomfortable.
　　 There is Shava who likes to play bundled games, and Systrom feels helpless. Now it seems that this butterfly also likes it very much.
　　 The dragon is lewd, this sentence is really good.
　　Sistem didn't know how to deal with the emotions of this female butterfly with the remnant soul of the male dragon.
　　 In the end, Systrom decided not to say anything, pretending to be ignorant. With Ola’s character, it is estimated that it is difficult for Shava to play a tentacle game with him if he has nothing to do.

　　 After negotiating with Black and Shava about some matters after his pupation, Systrom still couldn't rest assured of Ola and decided to talk to Ola in person.
　　 The conversation with Ola went very smoothly. Ola's personality was still not good, and he did not explicitly agree to anything, but surprisingly he did not ridicule Systrom, and there was a very weak feeling of worry.
　　Sisterm knew that although Ola hadn't agreed to anything on the surface, when it came to a crisis in the lair, Ola would definitely not stand by.
　　 At this point, Sisterm can think that the issue of the lair has been roughly resolved.
　　 There is only one thing that makes Systrom a little helpless, and that is the life span of the ant itself.
　　Perhaps after the end of his pupation, most of the ants that did not enter the second pupation will die because of their longevity.
　　Sistem finally decided to go with the flow, even if these low-qualified ants go to help, it is difficult for them to pupate again...

　　 and the big worker ant excavator continue to conduct excavation research, the excavator finally uses the squeezed solid and dense yellow-brown soil to make a waterproof channel, and avoids most of the groundwater area.
　　 In ten days, the excavator has opened the area with a depth of more than ten to twenty meters, reaching a depth of 30 meters, and the excavator's digging speed has begun to further increase.
　　 After these ten days, half of the stagnant water on the grass of Warren Plains has faded.
　　 The neighborhood of Sisterm’s Lair has basically dried up, only low-lying areas still have some standing water, and many temporary lakes of varying sizes have been formed on the grassland.
　　 As for the Ratman and Druid, there is still no action.
The grassland after the rain is less common mice, but there are a lot more frogs and tadpoles, far more than the frogs that appear during the rainstorm in the Lierte forest. One or two appear on the moist grass almost every few meters. The active brown toad ~EbookFREE.me~ may be the reason for the lack of snakes in the Warren Plains. These frogs that can gnaw on decaying plants breed at an extremely terrifying speed after the rain.
　　Sistem found that many brown toads with larger heads would go deep into the silt after mating, and would never get out of the silt again. It should have entered a dormant period.
　　 Sisterm doesn't know the name of this toad, but Sisterm can figure out this toad habit after a little thought.
　　 Due to the unique climate of the Warren Plains, the growth of tadpoles into toads must be completed within one month of the rainy season, and the remaining dry climate toads basically cannot survive.
　　 So after mating, toads will not lay eggs immediately, but will wrap the body with silt to reduce water loss, and then go into dormancy for one year, waiting for the next rainy season to lay eggs.
　　 Toad’s unique way of survival made Systrom amazed.
　　 And these toads hiding in the silt dormant have also obtained a new source of food for the ants of Weststrom.
　　 Toads dormant in the silt often like to gather together and go to the same silt pit together. Basically, every silt pit will have dozens of large toads dormant collectively.
These dormant toads are like having food with a shelf life of one year. Sisterm only needs to record the location of a few silt pits and tell Black that even if food is scarce in winter, his ants will not catch mice. Will have plenty of food.

　　 Ten days later, the water in the Warren Plains has basically subsided, and the Ratman and the Druid still have no special actions.
　　 At this time, the excavator had dug 80 meters deep underground. Sisterm decided not to wait any more. After arranging everything again, Sisterm began his third pupaification towards a magical life.
