However, just as the chelicera in Wang Xiaoyu's mouth was approaching the ladybug, a strong stench came out from under the ladybug......

The strong smell made the insect body instinctively have a strong sense of resistance, and Wang Xiaoyu's insect body squirmed backwards twice quickly.

But Wang Xiaoyu's human will quickly overcame the instinct of the bug, and he knew that the stench of the ladybug should be just a means of self-preservation, to get the enemy to leave it.

Enduring the stench that made Wang Xiaoyu a little dizzy, Wang Xiaoyu's chelica teeth were aimed at the gap between the ladybug's head armor and the chest carapace.

Although somewhat stiff, it is not much tougher than the petiole.

As the blood bar on the top of the ladybug's head continued to drop, eventually when the ladybug's blood bar dropped to the bottom, the ladybug's head also fell off, and the ladybug's body was still twitching, but it was undeniably dead.

Wang Xiaoyu checked his rising experience through the system panel, and his experience in killing this ladybug was probably equivalent to the extent that he gnawed half a leaf.

The experience of upgrading from level 4 to level 5 has increased significantly, and he needs to eat about 25 leaves to level up.

It was at this time that Wang Xiaoyu heard the system prompt again.

Bite! You gain the passive skill [Stink Resistance].

Passive Skill [Stink Resistance]: Obtained through the talent [Adaptability]. A strong stench is nothing to you anymore. You possess resistance to bad smells.

With the system prompting Wang Xiaoyu to obtain the passive skill [Stink Resistance], the stench that made Wang Xiaoyu a little dizzy seemed to have weakened, although there was still some stink, but these stenches were not so strong......

Even if you don't rely on human will to force it, the instinct of the insect alone will still be a little annoying, but it can be tolerated.

Wang Xiaoyu soon began to nibble together with the silk threads wrapped around the ladybug's body, if he could, Wang Xiaoyu hoped that he could obtain the ability similar to [Carapace Armor] on the ladybug's body by devouring the corpse of this ladybug, his skin was too weak.

Although the ladybug's body still exudes some unpleasant odor, the meat on the ladybug's body is still quite good.

In order to obtain an ability similar to [Carapace Armor], Wang Xiaoyu spent nearly two hours slowly chopping and eating the carapace on the ladybug's body with his chelicera, but unfortunately Wang Xiaoyu did not get the ability he wanted, but instead obtained the [Eruption Stink] skill used by the ladybug for self-protection.

Skill [Eruption Stink]: Obtained through the talent [Evolution]. It should be a good option to erupt an unpleasant smell that makes the predator lose interest in you. You can spew stink by using this skill.

……

By devouring the ladybug corpse, Wang Xiaoyu gained the experience of about a leaf, and because the ladybug corpse has a hard shell, the speed of eating it is naturally very slow, and the speed of gaining experience is naturally not as fast as eating leaves.

"It seems that the leaves are growing faster now." Wang Xiaoyu said secretly in his heart.

Wang Xiaoyu quickly climbed on other branches and continued to eat, and began to eat the leaves one by one again, Wang Xiaoyu never found a stronghold similar to a tree hole, so Wang Xiaoyu continued to find suitable leaves as before, and used [spinning] to make a cylindrical structure as his temporary stronghold.

Wang Xiaoyu ate much faster because of his larger size, and continued to eat 5 leaves before dark, and his experience points reached a quarter of the required for leveling up.

At night, an unknown praying mantis flew not far from Wang Xiaoyu, which made Wang Xiaoyu frightened, if the praying mantis found him and preyed on him, the pair of sharp scythes would kill him in an instant.

Maybe it was because he was moving so slowly, and the mantis's compound eyes didn't seem to notice him, but he escaped anyway.

Wang Xiaoyu did not stop his pace of eating, although the night is the time for predatory insect activities, but he is not very dangerous at a high place, and the praying mantis that flew just now is estimated to be just an accident. And if he stagnates like this, then he is destined to be at the bottom of the food chain.

Wang Xiaoyu did not encounter other dangers overnight, until early in the morning, he successfully gnawed off 12 leaves, as long as he gnawed off about 7 leaves, his level would rise to level 5.

His body has also grown because of eating, and now he has a body size of about 4 centimeters, which is 4 times that of the black ant that chased him at the beginning.

The sky was slightly bright, and suddenly Wang Xiaoyu heard the sound of birdsong in the distance, it should still be the bird from yesterday, Wang Xiaoyu finally decided to return to his temporary residence, and the praying mantis flying in the sky at night, the main natural enemy of the insects in the trees is still birds, a bird needs nearly 100 insects to eat a day, and if there are young birds to raise, the number will rise even more.

So for birds, Wang Xiaoyu still chose to dodge.

Wang Xiaoyu quickly squirmed back to the temporary dwelling he had created, and although it seemed that he could not eat leaves to increase his experience points for a short time, he could hone his [Silk] skills.

Listening to the sound of birds chirping in the sky, Wang Xiaoyu continued to practice [Silk] in the barrel-shaped residence he built, because Wang Xiaoyu had stored a lot of silk threads at night, so Wang Xiaoyu could practice [Silk] for a longer time.

It was still noon, the bird flew away again, Wang Xiaoyu after a morning of practice, although the skill similar to [Spraying Silk Thread] still has not evolved, but the spraying distance of [Silk] has increased from 1 cm to 2 cm, which is more obvious than the previous day's improvement.

Of course, there are reasons for the growth of the worm's body, but it is more about the potential of the worm itself.

……

There was no danger around, and Wang Xiaoyu continued to look for new branches to forage, after all, the leaves of this branch had thinned out a lot because of his food......

Wang Xiaoyu was a little tired and a little sleepy during the squirming, and it seemed that the insects also needed to rest regularly for a while.

However, Wang Xiaoyu can still bear it, as long as he swallows about 7 more leaves, he can upgrade, and because of the increase in size, his eating speed has become faster and faster, and he should be able to upgrade from level 4 to level 5 before the sun sets, Wang Xiaoyu decided to rest after upgrading to level 5.

Looking at the vague scenery around him with compound eyes, Wang Xiaoyu once again selected a branch with relatively dense leaves, but it didn't take long for Wang Xiaoyu to squirm to that branch, and Wang Xiaoyu chose to retreat.

Because Wang Xiaoyu found a spider web, as well as a brown spider resting on the edge of the spider web.

Although Wang Xiaoyu knew that spiders that built webs generally did not hunt food other than those spider webs, Wang Xiaoyu did not need to take this risk, there were many branches around, and he decided to go to other branches to continue eating leaves.

Wang Xiaoyu squirmed back, continuing to observe the other branches with his compound eyes, intending to choose another branch as a foraging spot for the afternoon and night.

Towards another branch......

The figure of the brown spider kept appearing in Wang Xiaoyu's mind as he moved, and he imagined the brown spider hunting other insects and wrapping silk threads around its eight legs.

"It would be nice if I could eat that spider...... Wang Xiaoyu said secretly in his heart.

The ambition suppressed by reason in his heart was unconsciously revealed, although at this moment in terms of strength he is the prey and the brown spider is the hunter, but the ** hidden in the bottom of his heart has made him regard the spider as his future food.

He was destined to eat this brown spider......

And then - [Evolution]!
