Of Systham's six legs, only the right forelimb and the left middle limb are still intact.

For unknown reasons, the tentacle in Systham's right forelimb lost its effectiveness, apparently due to the fact that it had been completely damaged by the freeze and was completely unusable.

Sistemm reangles his two remaining legs, preparing to aim the glands in his throat at the distant chrysalis and spray his [corrosive slime].

However, as Syst moved his right forelimb, he discovered that there was a visible crack in the joint at the base of his seemingly intact right forelimb.

With a slight click, the crack in the joint of the right forelimb further expanded.

His right forelimb was unfortunately broken from his body, and only a tendon remained at the base of his foot.

And when his right forelimb fell off his body, the three tentacles in the dislodged foot suddenly burst out of the round hole in the forelimb and kept shaking like earthworms on the ground.

Staring at the squirming limbs and tentacles on the ground for a moment, Systm involuntarily shook his body and picked up his stump with his last remaining leg.

Systm put the stump in his mouth and chewed it.

Once again, Systm noticed an abnormality in his emotions.

Eating his own limbs, instead of feeling any discomfort, Systm enjoyed the taste of his own limbs.

The moving tentacles in the limbs, in particular, are arguably one of the best foods Systm has ever tasted, smooth and elastic, somewhat similar to cheese, but much better in texture and taste.

"Maybe in the future, when the tentacles grow, you can eat some when you're fine, and it won't take long for [Severance Regeneration] to grow back up......"

Strange thoughts crossed Systham's mind, he couldn't understand how he could think about such things at such a time when his life was at stake.

However, eating the large pieces of his body scattered around is undoubtedly an excellent way to restore some life to his body.

Instead of doing anything to the chrysalis first, Systrem used his remaining limbs and abdomen to writhe his body to the other side, where there was half of his shattered eye and a broken thigh that quivered from time to time.

At the same time, the gland in Systm's throat once again secretes [Corrosive Slime], which he manipulates to wriggle, coating the small pieces of his body on the ground with the slime, as well as the blood that had previously flowed from his body.

This kind of food that fell from his body, Syst did not intend to waste it, and decided to eat it all and recycle it.

Thighs, half wings and shattered wing exoskeletons, half eyes, and a leg......

Heatham found the fragments of his body mutilated, some of the remaining limbs were too far away from him, and Heatham did not bother to retrieve them, and some of them may have been lost during the collision with the branches, and he did not find them.

By eating and digesting this part of the body, Systm's vitality began to rise gradually, eventually returning to 43% and then stabilizing.

There was an itching sensation from all the wounds on Sistum's body, but in half an hour, all the wounds on his body had congealed into blood scabs.

His body was completely out of danger, and if it was still summer, he would be able to recover his body as long as he took care to avoid predators.

But now......

Heatham knew that what came next was the key to his survival.

The snow and ice falling in the air showed no sign of stopping, but grew bigger and bigger.

As time passed, the temperature became colder and colder, and the ground was sporadically white, and the snowflakes that had fallen one moment had not completely dissolved, and the next moment the snowflakes had fallen from the sky, covering the previous snowflakes that had not yet melted.

Heatham knew that time was running out for him, and that the forest would probably be below zero by night.

With his current body, it was simply impossible to return to his makeshift lair a few kilometers away.

There is only one thing he can do at this time, and that is to use the insect chrysalis not far away to activate the [Cold Resistance] in the [Insect Adaptability].

It's a pity that his body no longer has tentacles that can grant [Perception] abilities at this time, and Systm doesn't know if he can succeed in this [Cold Resistance] ability.

And how much effect this [cold resistance] will have, Systm is not very clear.

But in any case, he had no other choice.

……

Struggling to move through the muddy pile of dead leaves, Syst angles to squirt [corrosive slime] out of his throat glands.

The angle of the mucus spray is a little crooked, and it is about three centimeters away from the pupae.

However, after the third metamorphosis, the distance at which Syst could manipulate the mucus had increased significantly, and he was already able to control the mucus from two meters away for about three minutes, and the mucus would not lose its activity.

The corrosive mucus gum easily melted the silk threads that held the pupa to the bark of the tree, and the grayish-brown piece of success fell from the tree.

The falling pupa was very lucky to roll down in the direction of Sistem, and when the pupa finally stopped, it was only a dozen centimeters away from Sistem.

Heatham only twisted and crawled for less than five minutes before he came to the chrysalis.

The chrysalis was uneasy as it fell to the ground, and the chrysalis writhed from time to time.

As used to feed on pupae, Systm secretes [Corrosive Mucus] to corrode the pupae's sturdy skin, and the pupae's brown shell is quickly corroded to a yellowish color.

Observing the slime-corroded pupae, Systm stopped what he wanted to continue.

If he just wants to eat this chrysalis, then he just needs to bite with his chelica teeth and suck it in a big gulp.

However, it is difficult for him to check the chrysalis and activate [Cold Resistance] with reference to the abilities in the chrysalis, which he can do without tentacles.

After some thought, Systham broke the bloody scab on the remaining half of his thigh, and then inserted the bloodied half of his thigh into the chrysalis's body.

Using the blood flowing in his own body to feel the blood in the other person's body was the last thing Syst used.

After the third metamorphosis, in addition to having a tentacle with super perceptual power, his blood also has a certain ability to perceive.

Heatham felt it intently......

Having already wound and bundled similar pupa twice, Systham's test was much easier than he had imagined.

It didn't take him a few minutes for Systham to feel the ability of [cold resistance] in the pupae.

Perhaps in response to the old adage that grasshoppers don't last a few days after autumn, Systham found that grasshoppers' bloodlines are extremely incompatible with [cold resistance], and it seems that grasshoppers are not a suitable insect for wintering at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he had already completed his third metamorphosis, there would be no possibility for him to gain this ability at all......

……

……

Due to the sudden return of the Lord of the Glaciers, the Lëlte Forest began to begin to fall with ice and snow.

After five days and four nights of snow and ice, the Lit Forest was covered in snow like the Lit Mountains, and the entire forest was covered with a layer of snow half a meter thick.

Systham, who had studied the pupa intensively, was also buried in heavy snow, and his body had remained stationary since he inserted half of his thigh into the pupae's body, appearing to be dead.

However, on this very day, there was a slight movement in the snow above the burial of Sistum, and a brown tentacle protruded from the snow......
