Chapter 8 Summer Insects Can't Speak Ice
The weather in the jungle where Wang Xiaoyu is located is unpredictable, after eating all afternoon, Wang Xiaoyu felt stuffy again near the evening, although it was not as serious as the rain before the night before, but a heavy rain was still inevitable.
Wang Xiaoyu's experience bar at this time was only about half a leaf away from level 5, he used his chelica to cut the petiole again, and once again cast [Silk] to tie the leaf to his body with silk thread to drag, Wang Xiaoyu accelerated his wriggling, and soon returned to his new residence.
After an afternoon of eating, Wang Xiaoyu grew up again, and he had reached a size of about 5 centimeters, because of the growth of his body, the leaf dwelling of the tubular structure was already a little narrow.
Whoa......
It didn't take long for the sound of rain to come out, and the rainstorm came again, as Wang Xiaoyu expected, this time the rainstorm was a little smaller than the last time, and it seemed that the feeling of the insect body was very sensitive.
Wang Xiaoyu continued to eat the leaves he brought back, and the experience bar was also rising little by little.
Bite! Your level rises.
Bite! Your skill [Cocoon] has been activated.
Bite! You gain the skill [Probing].
Bite! You gain the skill [Worm Language].
With the prompt sound of the system, Wang Xiaoyu's body grew rapidly because of the rise in level, growing from 5 cm to 9 cm in the blink of an eye, and the space of the leaves was also narrow, Wang Xiaoyu had to curl up to avoid the falling rain.
Skill [Cocoon]: There is no butterfly larva that does not want to become a butterfly, this is the first step for you to turn from a butterfly larva to a butterfly. Activate the skill [Chrysalis] by casting this skill.
Skill [Exploration Technique]: Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. You can use this skill to see rough information about monsters and NPCs.
Language Skill [Worm Language]: Bugs also have language. You can use the language of bugs to communicate with insects, arthropods, or large insects.
……
Looking at the menu of the system, Wang Xiaoyu tried to make a sound with his mouth, his mouth made a hissing sound, some like a snake, through the language skill [Worm Language] Wang Xiaoyu can already make a sound.
However, although [Worm Language] is good, what Wang Xiaoyu values most is not this skill.
Wang Xiaoyu looked at the [Exploration Technique] in the skill bar, and sure enough, just like in the game, players at level 5 learned the [Exploration Technique].
The game of "Skyware" is very difficult, but as a game after all, it is for people to play, and the skill [Exploration Technique] is the player's magic skill.
Although [Probing] cannot improve combat power, it cannot view too much information about the opponent, and there are many limitations, such as the difference in strength is too large, and it is impossible to view the opponent's information.
But even this has benefited players a lot, and the ability to avoid evil has given players great convenience in "Skyware".
That's why players can grow so quickly in Skyware.
But it was just when Wang Xiaoyu was excited and full of expectations for the future......
Wang Xiaoyu's insect instinct appeared an unimaginable impulse......
The method of using [Silk] to weave cocoons naturally appeared in his mind, and the instinct from insects made him desperate to [form cocoons], [pupate] and then [turn into butterflies].
……
Wang Xiaoyu shook the insect head vigorously, and the instinct of this insect that wanted to [cocoon] was instantly suppressed by Wang Xiaoyu's human reason.
Turning into a butterfly with the ability to fly may be better for ordinary insects, but for Wang Xiaoyu, who has human intelligence, [cocooning] and then [chrysalis] is tantamount to self-destructing his future.
After [Cocooning] and [Chrysalis], his current strongest skills [Silk] and [Strengthened Chelicera] will definitely disappear, because Wang Xiaoyu has never heard of any butterflies that spit out silk threads, nor has he heard of any butterflies with chelicera, all butterflies have is a straw that can be rolled up to suck nectar.
And most importantly, the talent [Evolution] that brought infinite possibilities to Wang Xiaoyu will also disappear because the talent [Evolution] has been indicated in the introduction of the system panel as a talent unique to insect larvae, and will disappear after the insect larvae activate the skill [Pupa] or [Maturity].
Talent [Evolution] and [Adaptability] are the capital for Wang Xiaoyu to grow as a bug, and he can't give up because of this.
Enduring the fatigue of not resting for more than a day, Wang Xiaoyu continued to practice the skill [Tusi], and the original plan to rest after reaching level 5 was also abandoned because of the activation of the skill [Cocoon].
Because Wang Xiaoyu knew that in his sleep, his insect body had a very high probability of following his instinct to [cocoon] and [chrysalis], and it would be too late for him to regret it at that time.
But this does not mean that Wang Xiaoyu will always overdraft his spirit and not rest, a short-term overdraft is fine, so excessive overdraft will make him eat and practice skills less efficient, and the gains outweigh the losses.
Wang Xiaoyu had already figured out his solution.
Wang Xiaoyu planned to use up the silk threads stored in his body by practicing [Silk] and then go to rest after almost depleting them.
Because when the silk threads in his body are exhausted, he will not be able to [cocoon].
……
Wang Xiaoyu was thinking of ways while practicing [Silk], the instinct in his body to [cocoon] has not subsided in the slightest, just like a time bomb placed on his body, even if this instinct can be suppressed with human reason, but as long as he is slightly negligent, he may carry out [cocooning] and then [pupation] in his sleep.
It rained all night, and Wang Xiaoyu also practiced [spinning silk] all night, although he still didn't think of any good way to suppress the instinct of wanting to [cocoon], but Wang Xiaoyu's [spinning silk] grew up in all directions again, whether it was the thickness and tenacity of the silk thread growing again, and the distance between Wang Xiaoyu and spitting the silk thread was also increased from 2 cm to 4 cm.
When the morning came, the rain stopped, and the birdsong came out again, through the call Wang Xiaoyu knew that it was still the same bird yesterday and the day before yesterday, and it seemed that the bird's predation was very regular.
Listening to the sound of birdsong outside, Wang Xiaoyu curled up in the leaves and planned to rest, after a night of consumption, the silk thread he stored had been almost consumed, and he could already rest at ease when he was tired.
It was at this time that the system's prompt came out again......
Bite! You gain the passive skill [Fatigue Resistance].
Passive Skill [Fatigue Resistance]: Obtained through the talent [Adaptability]. You have a strong tolerance for fatigue.
……
Obtain the passive skill [Fatigue Resistance] Wang Xiaoyu's fatigue and drowsiness disappeared in an instant.
Because of the appearance of this skill, Wang Xiaoyu knew that the threat from the [Cocoon] and [Pupation] instincts had also been reduced, after all, this skill could reduce his sleep and rest time.
Not only that, but the time you spend foraging to gain experience and your stamina in battle will also increase.
"It's amazing......" Wang Xiaoyu whispered in insect language.
After initially experiencing the weakness of the bug, Wang Xiaoyu increasingly discovered the terrifying potential of the bug he had reborn.
……
It was when Wang Xiaoyu was thinking about the potential of the insect that his compound eye observed a leaf falling downward, and the leaf was a little yellow.
A leaf knows autumn......
This word quickly appeared in Wang Xiaoyu's mind.
But Wang Xiaoyu immediately shook his head, impossible, because this jungle is obviously a climate similar to a tropical rainforest, and it is impossible to have an autumn scene, and the leaves should fall naturally.
However, another word quickly came to Wang Xiaoyu's mind - Xia Worm is unspeakable.
And this word could not be dissipated in Wang Xiaoyu's mind for a long time......
It's not because of the snow and ice here, it's impossible for this jungle to freeze like a tropical rainforest, and even hail is almost impossible.
What Wang Xiaoyu thinks about is the passage of time, which is a problem that Wang Xiaoyu's human soul has been subconsciously ignoring - the lifespan of insects.
How long do blue-eyed butterflies live?
Memories from Wang Xiaoyu's collection of the wings of the blue-eyed butterfly before his death told him that the average time for the blue-eyed butterfly to die from larvae to cocoon and finally into a butterfly should be just over a month.
At most, it is less than 45 days......
