In this world, the only way to survive is to become strong.

Snail Jace used to be convinced of this statement.

Snail Jace couldn't remember who said this, and it seemed that it was a passing lizardman who said it.

However, he didn't know the abyssal language at the time, so it's likely that Jace said it to himself.

He had always made this a creed before he became a magical being.

Fishy snails, that is, Jace's race, smell snails generally grow to a body size of about five centimeters when they become adults.

They belong to the bottom of the abyssal level, and live by eating decaying plants and pupae that are about to burst out of the swamp.

Similar to mosquitoes in the abyss, fishy snails will also lose their lives in a short period of time after mating.

Due to an accident after birth, Jace climbed onto the lap of a lizardman and was taken to a small swamp with no snail colonies.

Relying on the intelligence that is naturally higher than the average snail, coupled with the desire to survive, and the absence of a female snail for him to mate.

Over the course of countless near-death attempts, Jace devoured mosquito larvae, and over the course of several years, gradually grew to the upper level of 18.

Eventually, by chance, he came across a damaged wyvern egg.

It was the egg of this transcendent creature that allowed the snail to break through the hierarchy lock and hear the voice of the world.

He went from being a mortal to a mortal who crossed the stage of transformation and directly became a magical life.

Because of breaking through the level lock, he has a higher intelligence and the ability to be a magical creature, and it is after that that that Snail named himself Jace.

Jace's illusion abilities are very weak, and he has no ability to attack.

However, through a chance use, Jace discovered its modest abilities, and toyed with the powerful lizardmen.

That time, Jace had visions of a wyvern, and the lizardmen he could only look up to were crawling on the ground, shivering.

It was also after that that Jace became suspicious that he could only survive if he became strong, and gradually forgot about this sentence.

In Jace's opinion, with his superior intelligence, it was the right choice to play with the abyssal creatures with low intelligence between applause.

With its superior intelligence, it has even controlled a tribe of lizardmen over the years, and has indirectly lured a tyrant slime to act as a thug for the tribe of lizardmen.

But everything Snail Jace had shattered when he encountered the strange creature named Sistham.

God knows why such a strange magical creature suddenly appeared in the Monet swamp, and it could face the tyrant slime and still get out of it.

And the strange creature, with a higher intelligence than him, seemed to be able to see what was in his heart.

After being caught by the other party and using a lie failed, Snail Jace had no choice but to make a false deal with the other party, while thinking about a plan to escape from here.

After these days of dormancy, the snail has gradually mastered the appearance of five of Sistum's men, as well as some of their strength.

Including the Magic Lord, the six creatures seem to be of different races, and the snail has never seen these strange creatures in the twenty years of the abyss.

And among these six creatures, there are actually four of them of the magic rank, and these four creatures of the magic rank surprisingly have not fought with each other, and they have always been very harmonious.

Keep in mind that even in the tribes of the lizardmen, ruled by the transcendental lizardmen, the magical lizardmen will fight each other, especially in this neutral area where magical creatures often change territories.

The snail couldn't figure out why these magical creatures wouldn't rebel against Sistem.

Especially when he learned that Sistham had let his subordinates take his place and go around the territory to release his breath to mark the territory, Snail Jace was even more surprised.

Doesn't this magical creature who occupies the territory have the dignity of being a magical creature?

……

After these days of observation, the snail has learned that his illusion can be seen through by Systm, and that it will also be discovered by the magical creature named Shadow, and it is obviously unrealistic to escape from the two of them.

The crawling speed of the snail itself is not fast, and he is in the ground hundreds of meters deep, the escape time will undoubtedly be very long, even if he is lucky enough to escape, he may be attacked by other abyssal creatures, so the plan to escape directly was also abandoned by the snail.

All the snail can think of is to use Systm's men to help him escape by fooling the creatures with low intelligence.

However, after these days, Snail Jace gradually gave up on this idea, and he did not even dare to tell any lies to these Sistem's men.

Because the snail knew that if he deceived these guys one moment, the next moment they would tell Systm his lie as it was.

All his lies will be hidden.

After that, he will undoubtedly be eaten as a snack by Systm.

After all these days, Jace has no doubt about the brutality of Systham, and even the abyssal creatures in his territory who submit to him will not hesitate to kill and eat them.

And Jace discovers that Systm actually has the ability to control the magic-rank giant slime, which makes the snail even more fearful.

All Snail Jace can do is hide his inner emotions and continue to hibernate, waiting for an opportunity to escape.

……

However, on this very day, as the magical creature that Systum called a butterfly activated a magic item, nearly a thousand creatures that Heatham called ants appeared.

At first, Snail Jace was unimpressed with the ants, as they seemed to them to be too weak.

Only those soldier ant riders who are about fifty centimeters old have a certain strength, but those soldier ant knights have less than thirty.

These ants can't make any waves in the abyss.

However, as Jace the snail continued to observe these ants, Jace noticed the difference between these ants, and he also changed from initial surprise to later shock.

These ants are fundamentally different from ordinary abyssal creatures, they do not kill each other for resources, they know how to cooperate with each other, and they are even more efficient than lizardmen.

And the queen ant named Linda can lay hundreds of ant eggs every day, just like mosquitoes, and new ants will be born in ten days.

Snail Jace knew that unless the transcendent lizardmen of the Monet Swamp immediately annihilated Sistem, the queen ant and these ants in Sistum's hands would undoubtedly rule the Monet Swamp in the future.

And if you think about it, having the transcendent lizardmen annihilate Sistemm immediately would be tantamount to a fool's dream.

Not to mention whether the transcendent lizardmen can notice Sistem, even if the transcendent lizardmen really want to annihilate Sistem, it is difficult for the lizardmen to penetrate the narrow cave more than a thousand meters underground.

As long as Systm doesn't die, sooner or later the ants he leads will take over the Monell Swamp.

Snail Jace knew that if he wanted to escape, he had to do so as soon as possible, or he would never be able to escape......
