3. Air ants
When he came to the corner, Zheng Tianqi made a hole that was arm's width and shrunk into the hole with a molten stone.
"Hey~~ The strength is insufficient, so I can only hold on like this, when will I be able to come out and kill him. Zheng Tianqi sighed, and then began to gnaw on the molten stone.
As night falls, the lanterns in the city are turned on, and the night market is full of people.
Zheng Tianqi quickly finished eating the molten stone, and the strength of his flesh body had reached 98%, and he was only one step away from reaching an iron-level flesh body.
"You can take advantage of the night to wander around the night market, although you can't understand their language, you can sneak in some spiritual grass or stones to eat. Zheng Tianqi crawled out of the cave and was about to fly out, when he was interrupted by an energy fluctuation behind him.
Turning around, Zheng Tianqi saw a blood-soaked figure, a short man with a hideous face, with a frightened look in his eyes, clutching a package in his hand, and slumping weakly in the corner.
That person appeared suddenly, otherwise with the vigilance of an animal, Zheng Tianqi would definitely be able to detect his arrival, but at this time he appeared in the corner abruptly.
"What does this mean?!vendetta?!thief?!" Zheng Tianqi hid himself in the shadows and looked at the man quietly.
Soon, the man couldn't hold on anymore and began to cough up blood, the color of the blood had turned black, obviously the poison was deep and he didn't live long.
After a while, the short man finally couldn't resist, swallowed his last breath, and held the bag tightly in his hand until the end, it was the bag, exuding energy fluctuations that made Zheng Tianqi's heart palpitate, probably because of this bag, which led to the man's death.
Seeing that the man was finally dead, Zheng Tianqi slowly crawled out of the shadows and came to the man's hand, opened and closed his jaws to bite off the hand holding the bag, and ate it in his mouth.
"What's wrong with cannibalism?! It's okay to be useful! Now Lao Tzu is not human!"
"Ding, blood vein strength increases by 5%. โ
"Sure enough, this person also has cultivation, so his sudden appearance may be that the energy is not enough to maintain him and continue to hide, I just don't know what cultivation is, but one hand provides 5% of the strength of the bloodline, which is acceptable. Zheng Tianqi thought for a while, then put down the person and came to the hole he had fought before.
"This person should be able to handle it as food, and you have to eat it as soon as possible, or you'll have to grab something from the maggots. Zheng Tianqi expanded the width of the cave, and he wanted to put this person's body in the cave for preservation.
The ordinary stone road was like tofu under Zheng Tianqi's jaws, and it easily opened a cave to pull the man's body in, and then dragged some rags and clothes in the corner to cover the hole.
"Tonight's trip has been interrupted, so let's let go of the good things in the night market. Zheng Tianqi muttered and burrowed into the crypt and hugged one arm to eat.
"The strength of this person's flesh is still okay, and it is a little laborious to chew, at least there is a stone-level body. Zheng Tianqi felt the strength of the man's body, but his mouth did not stop.
After eating for a while, Zheng Tianqi suddenly thought that the contents of the bag had not been checked, so he put down the food in front of him and tore open the bag.
A few colorful stones and then a few yellow flowers come into view.
"Ding, the discovery of iron-grade ore meltstone, the discovery of iron-grade ore concentrate iron ore, the discovery of iron-grade ore cold iron ore. โ
"Ding, I found a second-order spirit grass withered flower. โ
No wonder that man didn't put these things down until he died, they were so valuable. Zheng Tianqi was so excited that his body trembled a little at this time.
"Let me taste this iron ore first. Zheng Tianqi grinded a little powder from the refined iron ore and ate it in his mouth.
"Ding, increases the strength of the flesh by 2%. โ
"Ding, the strength of the flesh reaches 100%, and the flesh evolves to the iron level (0%). โ
As soon as the system prompt fell, Zheng Tianqi felt a majestic energy appear from his body, constantly washing his body, and gradually, a luster of iron appeared on his body, and strange lines also appeared on his wings, making his wings sharper.
"It seems that the energy contained in refined iron ore is not as much as that of molten stone, otherwise it would not be only a 2% increase. Zheng Tianqi thought, "The top priority now is to increase the strength of the bloodline to 100% first, and after evolving to the first level, it is estimated that the body size will become a little larger, and then maybe you will no longer be able to hide in the city." โ
While the short man was hiding in the corner, Zheng Tianqi could clearly feel that there were several extremely powerful energy fluctuations in the city, and this could only be the person from the patrol responsible for searching this person.
The people of the patrol team can burst out with such powerful energy, how strong those people from the big family will be Zheng Tianqi didn't dare to imagine, so he could only speed up his own eating, eat this person, the spirit mine, and the spirit grass, and then quickly run away.
So, in the depths of a small alley, a slight chewing sound came out.
Host: Zheng Tianqi;
Race: Bullet Ant (wings) (evolvable)+;
Cultivation is: Second-Order Beast;
Physical strength: iron grade (0%);
Vein Strength: 0%;
"The next evolutionary creature is... Empty ants. Zheng Tianqi looked at the evolution network and chose the direction he wanted to evolve in the future.
Then bloodshot appeared from Zheng Tianqi's body, slowly wrapping him and turning him into an egg.
ยทยทยท
Early in the morning, Zheng Tianqi was woken up by a voice next to him.
Seeing the rat that was gnawing on the man's corpse, Zheng Tianqi suddenly became angry, and directly got up and cut off the rat with the pliers of both hands.
That's right, pliers. After Zheng Tianqi's evolution was completed last night, he became an empty ant, and this evolution made Zheng Tianqi's body form have changed greatly, first of all, the forelimbs, unlike other ant species, the forelimbs of the empty ant have pincer-like weapons, which makes him have great aggression and deterrence.
Then there are the jaws, which have a tendency to degenerate, not in bulky, but as an auxiliary tool to help cut food. Then there are wings, different from ordinary birds or insects, the wings of the air ant are very sharp and slender, and the lines on them have become more and more mysterious, even if Zheng Tianqi looks at it, he will feel a little dizzy.
Of course, the biggest change is the body size, as a more aggressive race, the body size has reached a terrifying length of one and a half meters, and the wings spread across three meters, Zheng Tianqi wanted to stretch his body after the evolution was completed last night, and he did find that the cave had become too small.
Fortunately, after the evolution was completed, Zheng Tianqi learned to control the size of his body, which made him discourage his plan to venture out of the city at night. If he had ventured out of town last night, he might have been a corpse by now.
At this time, Zheng Tianqi's body was only ten centimeters, which was not his smallest state, if he wanted to, he could become less than one centimeter, just the same size as when he was an ant at that time.
Of course, the amount of energy consumed varies depending on the body size, and if you want to be smaller, you will reduce your energy consumption, and if you want to get bigger, you have to eat more.
After Zheng Tianqi killed the stolen rat, he enlarged his body and devoured it in one bite, and then devoured the man's remaining corpse.
"Ding, devour the brain, turn on the synchronous translation function. โ
The prompt sound of the system made Zheng Tianqi overjoyed, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, if you can't even understand what people say, you still play a fart?
The launch of the simultaneous translation feature is definitely a boon for Zheng, which means he can get the information he wants.
"In this way, you can sneak out to learn about the world, but it seems that ordinary people don't have any books about this world, maybe only those big families have them. Zheng Tianqi frowned and thought, "In this case, I have to hold it back for a while, eat what I have at hand before going out." โ
Zheng Tianqi took the spirit ore and withered flowers on the side, and swallowed a withered flower into his mouth in one bite.
"Ding, blood vein strength increases by 2%. โ
"It seems that the effect of the first-order spirit grass on me is not so great, I hope these spirit mines can be useful. Zheng Tianqi threw the remaining withered flowers directly into his mouth, chewed them casually twice and swallowed them.
After eating the withered flowers, Zheng Tianqi looked at the remaining spirit ores again, this time he could easily cut off these spirit ores with his forelimbs, instead of just grinding a little powder.
The iron-grade spirit ore is currently not big or small for Zheng Tianqi's help, and it is in an embarrassing situation, after swallowing all the spirit ores, the strength of the physical body has reached 45% of the iron level.
"If you want to continue to get stronger, you still have to devour some more high-level things, and I'm going to go out and have a look today, and if I can, it seems that I can also go and see the treasure troves of those big families. Zheng Tianqi played his own little Jiujiu in his heart, made his body smaller and got out of the hole, and came to the street.
No one cares about something the size of an ant, not even those who have cultivation.
Zheng Tianqi found an opportunity to attach himself to a luxuriously dressed young man, and then tried his best to hide his aura from being discovered by the guards around the man.
The man walked straight into a restaurant with rich and luxurious decorations, met with a group of fox friends and dogs, and then spent time drinking.
Through their conversation, Zheng Tianqi learned something.
First of all, it is the name of this city - Lincheng, and then it is the approximate distribution of forces in this city, because through their conversation, they only roughly mentioned the forces in the city, and more about who's family, who did what, and which Qinglou came to a few young ladies.
The man possessed by Zheng Tianqi is called Li Ershao by others, looking at their constant compliments, the Li family should be a relatively strong family in Lincheng.
Although most of the information was useless, this group of gentlemen still provided Zheng Tianqi with the most useful information, two days later there will be a hunting competition in Lincheng, each family will send people into the forest to hunt and kill, and determine the distribution of resources for the next year based on the amount of prey obtained.
But just knowing this information, you can't expect any too important information in a conversation with a group of gentlemen, and their family is not stupid, until what to tell them and what not to say.
In addition to learning about the holding of the hunting competition, there is also a general understanding of the cultivation level at the beginning of this world--quenching body. There is also Qi training on it.
After learning about this, Zheng Tianqi understood what kind of world he was in now, "It's actually the world of cultivating immortals! It's terrifying, you must be careful, otherwise you will be captured by them and used as a war pet." โ
Later, when they were staggering, Zheng Tianqi seized the opportunity to break away from Li Ershao, quickly came to the street, and flew in the direction of the market.
"The day after tomorrow is their hunting tournament, and most of them should go outside the city to observe at this time, so that I will have a chance to touch their family's treasure house. Zheng Tianqi had already begun to drool at the thought of his unscrupulous looting in their treasure trove.
"But now I still have to go to the bazaar to have a look, if I can steal some spirit grass and spirit ore while they are not paying attention, it will really be for nothing. โ
Soon Zheng Tianqi came to the bazaar, because he wanted to get some information before, which led to wasting a long time on that group of gentlemen, fortunately there was something to gain, but otherwise Zheng Tianqi would have to die.
At this time, it was almost noon, and most of the people in the market were cooking women who came to buy vegetables and cook, picking here and picking there, which gave Zheng Tianqi more opportunities.
