Chapter Twenty-Three: Preparations for the Hunt of Slimes
After sticking the wings of the red-headed cricket again, the simple worm brain of the cricket seemed to be functioning, and it didn't take long for Wang Xiaoyu to hear a thousand strange noises coming from its mouth, but because the sound was not loud, Wang Xiaoyu didn't care.
Then after a while, Wang Xiaoyu heard the messy [Worm Language] from the cricket's mouth, and Wang Xiaoyu also knew that it was not that this cricket couldn't say [Worm Language] with its mouth before, but that this cricket had not learned to speak with its mouth before.
……
The [Worm Language] in the mouth of the red-headed cricket became more and more fluent, and it kept jumping next to Wang Xiaoyu and talking, and then scurrying around.
"Hungry! Hungry! ”
"Go there! Go there! ”
"I want xx! I want xx! ”
Wang Xiaoyu's ears have been coming to the cricket's words, but the red-headed cricket said a lot, but most of them are repeated, to sum up, there are basically only three kinds of topics expressed by this cricket, one is to be hungry or want to eat food, the second is to formulate the route it wants to take for Wang Xiaoyu, and the third is what Wang Xiaoyu did when he saw this cricket for the first time, find a female cricket.
Wang Xiaoyu, a red-headed cricket who can talk, didn't plan to care, because as long as he didn't chirp, the red-headed cricket's voice was actually not loud.
But this is a cricket, obviously because eating praying mantis meat is more crazy, and the red-headed cricket is extremely happy and keeps jumping around Wang Xiaoyu, and the red-headed cricket's practice will obviously attract the attention of predators and put Wang Xiaoyu in more danger.
Wang Xiaoyu naturally couldn't let the red-headed cricket go on like this, so Wang Xiaoyu came up with a way, that is, to use a rope made of silk thread to tie the neck of the red-headed cricket, and put a rope on the cricket's neck like going out to walk a dog in reality.
However, although Wang Xiaoyu's idea is good, crickets are not dogs after all, so the red-headed cricket taught Wang Xiaoyu a deep lesson, because even if the cricket is tied to the silk rope, the cricket still jumps left and right, and as a result, the silk rope will be entangled in various obstacles, and even on Wang Xiaoyu's body.
In this way, Wang Xiaoyu's walking speed was greatly slowed down, and in desperation, Wang Xiaoyu could only continue to shorten the length of the silk thread tied to the red-headed cricket, and finally the red-headed cricket could only walk side by side next to Wang Xiaoyu.
The red-headed cricket finally couldn't continue to jump, but its chatter was greatly strengthened, and it kept talking beside Wang Xiaoyu......
After a period of language bombardment, Wang Xiaoyu finally couldn't bear it, and dragged the cheerful red-headed cricket to his own head, and then squirted out more silk threads from his mouth to plug the cricket's mouth, and once again packed and bundled it into the shape of a silk ball and carried it on his body, so that the cricket could not make a sound at all and could not jump around.
Wang Xiaoyu found that it was a mistake for him to kindly humanize the management of crickets, because this cricket was not a human at all, just an insect.
……
From time to time, [infrared perception] was activated to detect surrounding movements and hidden dangers, and after an hour and a half of crawling, Wang Xiaoyu finally arrived at the destination of his trip, a mud pile with a diameter of about two meters.
The rich stench came out of the mud pile, but it was still bearable for Wang Xiaoyu, who had the passive skill [Stink Resistance], but the red-headed crickets packed on Wang Xiaoyu's back should be very uncomfortable, because Wang Xiaoyu felt that the red-headed crickets that had been packed honestly were constantly struggling in his silk ball at the moment.
Wang Xiaoyu ignored it, because the bait bug has no human rights, he began to march on the silt, and the benefits of being a reptile also appeared, although the silt seemed to be very deep, but with his weight ratio, he could still easily move on it without being trapped.
Wang Xiaoyu quickly came to the front of the unformed green slime he saw last time, this unborn slime gum has obviously grown, but obviously there is still a big distance from the size of a fist in the condition of birth, Wang Xiaoyu casually launched the [Exploration Technique], and as Wang Xiaoyu expected, there was still no information.
In fact, this lump of gelatinous urine Wang Xiaoyu can eat now, but Wang Xiaoyu doesn't plan to do this, because if Wang Xiaoyu wanted to, he would have eaten this unborn slime yesterday.
The slime will only completely activate the various abilities in its body after it is truly born, although the difficulty of killing has increased by more than a little, but the value that can be obtained will also increase several times, whether it is the experience of killing mortal-level monsters, or the ability that the slime may make Wang Xiaoyu [evolve] will greatly increase.
……
The reason why Wang Xiaoyu came so early was to prepare for killing this slime that was about to be born, because if he was not prepared, Wang Xiaoyu's chances of winning against this slime were very low, and it was not impossible to even fall into the slime and be digested and devoured.
Wang Xiaoyu quickly retreated to the edge of the silt pile, tied up a dead leaf with silk thread, and began to collect some relatively small branches, about a few centimeters long, and put them on top of the dead leaves, and finally transported them to the center of the silt, which is where the slime will be born.
Putting down the silk ball and the mantis mouthpiece and sickle on his back, Wang Xiaoyu rolled in the mud, his body was quickly blackened by the mud, because he had to prepare to hunt slimes in this mud all day today, so Wang Xiaoyu wanted to disguise himself to avoid unknown dangers, he was too conspicuous here in green.
Wang Xiaoyu kept moving, and more than a dozen dead leaves and hundreds of branches were moved by Wang Xiaoyu to the center of the silt pile, that is, the location near the slime.
These dead leaves will be built into a hiding place by Wang Xiaoyu on top of the silt, and Wang Xiaoyu will wait for the moment when the slime is born.
And the hundred short branches here are the key to Wang Xiaoyu's ability to limit the slime's bounce.
Wang Xiaoyu quickly continued to act, using chelica to insert short dead branches into the mud one by one to surround the slimes, and then use silk threads to tie up the sticks, and finally Wang Xiaoyu used the [cocooning] technique to weave around the slimes......
……
The dense silk thread is the key to restricting this slime that is about to be born, at noon Wang Xiaoyu has successfully prepared, a fist-sized translucent silk cocoon has covered the position of the slime, although the slime will sooner or later dissolve and digest all these silk threads, but it can also successfully restrict the movement of the slime, giving Wang Xiaoyu time to kill.
Wang Xiaoyu hid in a simple dwelling built by withered leaves, and while releasing [Exploration Technique] on the slime from time to time to check whether this slime was born, he twisted his body and used the scythe of the fixed mantis to cut his body, and then waited for the blood volume to recover.
Wang Xiaoyu slashed his body at this time not only to [evolve] a skill similar to [high-speed life recovery], but also to be able to kill this slime more smoothly.
Because Wang Xiaoyu actually didn't have any effective means to attack the slime, his [Enhanced Chelicera] would not cause much damage to the slime at all, and the poisonous scorpion tail needle tied to the tail was basically ineffective against the slime.
And Wang Xiaoyu has the strongest way to kill this slime at this time is to eat, that is, to eat the slime directly.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoyu's purpose of scratching himself and waiting for the HP to automatically recover is self-evident, because constantly recovering his HP from injuries will not only make his body weak, but also make him hungry.
