Chapter 39: The Sword
In the dilapidated and desolate square, there are dense swarms of insects lying on their stomachs, and there is no end in sight.
Standing on an isolated wall, Lin Ze looked at it and was slightly startled by the number of insects.
"At least a thousand!"
He wandered back and forth in the swarm, and unsurprisingly found a dozen or so steel soldiers that were larger enough to compare to buffaloes, most of which were elite individuals.
However, no suspected Steel Soldier King Worm was found.
"That's right, if there are Steel King Worms in the square, the number of insect beasts is definitely more than thousands!"
After collecting the information he wanted, Lin Ze didn't delay any longer, and quickly jumped off the wall and prepared for action.
He didn't rush to the front of the square recklessly, which was no different from looking for death, but planned to look for the lone steel soldier like he had just done, and then let the latter call his companions, and he only needed to find a place to fight in advance.
There were a lot of lone steel soldiers and insects around the square, and Lin Ze quickly found one, and it was only after it raised its head and made a hissing sound calling for its companions that it was dealt with with a knife.
The location of the battle was still chosen in the complex terrain lined with stones, which was conducive to him and the insect swarm to break through one by one.
The call of the steel soldiers and insects summoned thirty or forty companions, and relying on the favorable terrain, it only took Lin Ze about ten minutes to successfully kill the swarm of insects.
After resting on the spot for a while, eating some dry food and water, and after recovering his strength, he continued to use the lone steel soldier insect to lure the insect swarm, and then hunted and killed, and when it was dark, there were more than 200 steel soldier insects dead under his hands.
'White knife 2.26% (steel 2.26%)'
After absorbing a large amount of soul energy, the white knife has become more and more silvery, emitting a dazzling metallic luster in the sunlight, and the sharpness is also even higher, which is especially evident in battle, and it is becoming easier and easier for the white knife to break through the carapace of the steel soldier insect.
"This is most likely the effect of the growth of steel attribute soul energy. Lin Ze's eyes lit up slightly.
With the improvement of the progress of the soul knife casting, the white knife will gradually show special abilities, and at the moment it only absorbs the steel attribute soul energy, and after absorbing the high temperature and fire attribute soul energy, maybe the white knife will be able to attach fire damage when attacking.
Thinking of that scene, Lin Ze felt some anticipation in his heart.
On the other hand, the battle with the Steel Soldier also led him to achieve an achievement, 'Bug Hunter I', which rewarded him with 10 points.
Lin Ze thought back to the time when he got the achievement hint, at that time he seemed to have killed almost 100 steel soldiers, and he thought that the condition for achieving this achievement was to kill 100 insects and beasts.
And, like 'Society Destroyer I', the name suggests it belongs to an achievement series.
"I just don't know how many heads I have to kill to achieve the next achievement, 1,000 heads?" Lin Ze muttered softly to himself.
The danger coefficient of the night battle skyrocketed, and after taking out the last batch of worm cores, Lin Ze turned away from the square, found a half-collapsed building, moved a stone to block the exit, and created a temporary closed camp, and began to close his eyes and recuperate after eating dry food.
Because he was in the wild, Lin Ze didn't dare to sleep too deeply, and he had to maintain a certain vigilance, but the consequence of this was that if there was any wind and grass, even if it was just the neighing of insects and beasts in the distance, he could wake up in an instant.
finally survived until dawn, Lin Ze's spirit was already a little sluggish, and his face was slightly tired.
After all, he has never had a similar experience of staying overnight in the wild, and the skill of staying vigilant and sleeping is not something that can be practiced in a while, and it is also because of Lin Ze's strong physical fitness, otherwise if he is replaced by other newcomers, I am afraid that he will not be able to survive and return to the settlement area in a day or two.
However, newcomers are usually led by a veteran swordsmith, and if the two take turns keeping vigil, they will not be afraid of not being well rested.
"There are gains and losses. ”
With a sigh of emotion, Lin Ze finished breakfast, got up and rushed towards yesterday's square, preparing to continue hunting the steel soldiers.
Compared to yesterday, the number of steel soldiers and insects in the square was significantly less, but these mentally retarded guys were completely unaware of the abnormality, and were still lazily lying on the ground, their sharp feet and limbs randomly scratching on the ground, plowing out the cut marks.
Unless they are hungry, these steel soldiers will get up and go out in search of food.
Lin Ze observed for a while, and suddenly saw an elite steel soldier insect in the distance, which was obviously much larger, suddenly staggered to its feet, leaving the square and walking towards him.
Seeing this, Lin Ze was overjoyed, and hurriedly jumped off the wall, hurried forward, and it didn't take long to see the elite steel soldier insect.
The elite steel soldiers also discovered Lin Ze's existence, and their scarlet eyes burst into cruelty, and the original lazy state was gone, replaced by a violent and hideous momentum.
The huge and terrifying monster excitedly spread its pincers, like a charging chariot, and rushed towards Lin Ze with a bang.
Lin Ze had already condensed the sword gang in advance, and when he saw this, he kicked his feet, rushed forward, and killed the elite steel soldier insect head-on.
Just as the two sides were about to collide head-on, Lin Ze suddenly turned sideways, and at the same time that he could avoid the collision of the elite steel soldiers and insects, with a flick of the knife, a huge pair of pincers rose into the sky.
The Elite Steel Soldier Insect hissed violently and turned back sharply, and another remaining pincer swept across like a hammer, whistling through the air.
In the face of this powerful blow, Lin Ze did not dodge, and simply slashed it with a knife, and had a hard encounter with the pincers of the elite steel soldier insects.
In the flash of the fire, a piercing sound of gold and iron suddenly exploded, and Lin Ze took a few steps back, and the hazy air flow covering the blade fluctuated and almost collapsed.
The elite steel soldier insect was even more miserable, the shell of the pliers was already full of cracks, blood mixed with bodily fluids flowing, and the whole pincer was softly pulled down, obviously useless.
With two pincers missing, the attack of the elite steel soldier insect was greatly weakened all of a sudden, and the defense against the head became stretched, and Lin Ze quickly grabbed the flaw and slashed the head with a knife.
Hiss!!
Under the severe pain, the elite steel soldiers struggled frantically, but they couldn't change the fate of death, and it didn't take long for them to go limp, motionless and lifeless.
"This guy has a lot of strength. Lin Ze rubbed his somewhat sore arm, "It is worthy of being a second-level insect beast." ”
But he never wanted to let the people in the settlement know that he could fight hard with the second-level insect beast and not break his jaw.
After absorbing the soul energy, there was an increase of 0.1% of the steel attribute soul energy on the white knife.
"It's equivalent to absorbing 10 ordinary steel soldiers...... Overall, it's still more cost-effective than ordinary steel soldiers!"
Lin Ze's face was overjoyed, but it was a pity that the lone elite steel soldier insect could not be found, otherwise, if he specially hunted the elite steel soldier insect, the speed of absorbing soul energy would definitely be increased by more than one step.
After removing the worm core, Lin Ze continued to hunt.
On this trip, he only carried five or six days' rations and water, but because of the battle, the food was consumed faster than expected, and by the morning of the fifth day, the food reserves were on the verge of running out.
In view of this, Lin Ze planned to hunt a few more waves of steel soldiers and insects, so he set off to return to the settlement.
After four days of hunting, there are no ten steel soldiers and insects in the square, and there are less than a hundred left, and he doesn't even need to use the lone steel soldiers to lure him, so he rushes directly to the square, lures all the remaining insects and beasts outside, and then wanders around to kill.
On the other hand, the collected worm cores had already filled the tactical backpack, although the worm cores were only the size of a thumb, but the number was placed there, and the space of the tactical backpack was not enough to hold nearly a thousand worm cores, so I had to throw away some of them.
However, the worm core is not the biggest gain, after these days of fighting, in addition to the progress of soul knife casting has increased to 11.69%, Qi and sword skills have also increased by 1 level respectively.

"Sure enough, it's still the actual combat that improves the skills the fastest!"
The two skills of sword technique and qi have stayed at the original level for a while, and they are close to breaking through, so after fighting with insects and beasts many times, it is logical to upgrade.
At present, the total amount of qi in Lin Ze's body has increased by more than four or five times compared to when he just rose to Lv1, which is enough to completely cover the upper half of his body, and at the same time, his control over qi has also been greatly improved, and now he can condense the sword in two seconds.
As for the sword technique, the improvement of combat ability is self-evident.
In comparison, on the contrary, the increase in the progress of the soul knife has the least increase in overall strength, and the absorption of steel attribute soul energy only makes the white knife sharper, but with or without an indestructible sword, no matter how sharp the white knife is, it is just icing on the cake.
Perhaps this can only be changed after absorbing the high temperature and fire attribute soul energy.
