Wang Xiaoyu's use of crickets to make bait is very effective, because it didn't take long for predators attracted by red-headed crickets [Worm Language] to send them to the door.

And there were two bug hunters who entered the trap at the same time, although there were some surprises, but Wang Xiaoyu did not mess with it.

Monster: Dead Leaf Mantis (Mole Ant)

Grade: 12

Combat effectiveness: negligible

Monster: Jungle Scorpion (Mole Ant)

Grade: 4

Combat power: 0.5

After using the [Exploration Technique] to roughly check the praying mantis and the scorpion in both directions, Wang Xiaoyu launched the [Jet Silk Thread] to shoot at the Dead Leaf Mantis, because the giant Dead Leaf Mantis struggled more violently than the other smaller scorpion, and if Wang Xiaoyu didn't act, it was very likely to break free.

Burst!

Thick and viscous silk threads erupted from Wang Xiaoyu's mouth, this silk thread was far stronger than the silk thread used by Wang Xiaoyu to disguise the pursuit of transparency, and the giant praying mantis, which was still struggling violently just after a few breaths, was already stuck with the silk thread and could not move.

Wang Xiaoyu continued to aim the silk thread in his mouth at the struggling jungle scorpion on the other side, this jungle scorpion's strength was far inferior to that of the giant mantis, so it was quickly controlled by Wang Xiaoyu.

Wang Xiaoyu didn't wait, he climbed directly onto the body of the dead leaf mantis that couldn't move, and it didn't take long for him to bite off the triangular head of the dead leaf mantis with his chelicera, and the blood bar on the top of the dead leaf mantis's head was also emptied at that moment.

"Well... Awesome......"

As the head of the dead leaf mantis fell, the red-headed cricket, which was acting as a bait, chirped again.

"Red-headed crickets, don't make a noise!" Wang Xiaoyu said sternly to the red-headed cricket in the [Insect Language].

But the red-headed cricket was obviously frightened by Wang Xiaoyu, and soon the trembling insect chirp came out again......

"Don't... Kill me......"

Wang Xiaoyu shook the head of the insect helplessly, and launched the [Jet Silk Thread] to stick the wings on the back of the red-headed cricket again, so that the red-headed cricket could not continue to make sounds.

At this point, two prey have already taken the bait, and it would be dangerous if the cricket's chirping again attracted other predators.

……

Wang Xiaoyu called out his system panel to check the information, killing the Dead Leaf Mantis brought him nearly 50 leaves of experience, although its combat power was far less than the previous [Fang] Hunting Spider, but it provided more than twice as much experience as the 20 leaves of the Hunting Spider.

Wang Xiaoyu did not have any doubts about this, because the gain of experience in "Heavenly Domain" is not determined only by the amount of combat power, but by the comprehensive strength of the monster.

Just like a nobleman who uses a legendary weapon, encountering a legendary sword master with the same combat power rating as him is definitely a sword kill.

The same goes for spiders, maybe some spiders have [poisonous fangs] that make their combat power comparable to the 5 points of combat power of a human farmer, but ordinary humans may just be careless and trample this spider to death.

Therefore, if you kill this kind of existence with inflated combat power, you may get more experience, but it will definitely not be too much......

……

Wang Xiaoyu climbed down from the corpse of the dead leaf mantis and cleaned the silk threads stuck to his feet with saliva.

Looking at the jungle scorpion, the two sharp pincers of the jungle scorpion have been firmly stuck to Wang Xiaoyu's silk thread, and its deadly weapon, the scorpion tail poison needle, was even more entangled by Wang Xiaoyu and could not move at all.

Wang Xiaoyu squirmed his body, and soon his first six claws with hooked spikes pulled out a sharp stone from the dead leaves, which he had prepared for predators with crustaceans.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Wang Xiaoyu kept twisting the body of the insect and hitting the carapace of the scorpion's head with a stone, and after dozens of knocks, the carapace of the jungle scorpion's head was finally broken by the stone.

As the carapace protecting it shattered, the Jungle Scorpion's health bar on its head began to drop rapidly, and it died.

The level 4 jungle scorpion brought Wang Xiaoyu the experience of 25 leaves, which was similar to the poisonous spider on the tree before in terms of overall strength, but it was still a lot worse than the giant dead leaf mantis.

This jungle scorpion didn't say a word of [Worm Language] in the end, Wang Xiaoyu estimated that the scorpion's level was too low, thinking of the many bugs he had encountered, Wang Xiaoyu had basically determined that all bugs regardless of strength or weakness learned [Worm Language] level 5.

Using the saliva in his mouth to dissolve the silk threads on the corpses of the giant dead leaf mantis and jungle scorpions, Wang Xiaoyu dragged the two prey off the cobwebs, and then began to mend the cobwebs.

Wang Xiaoyu no longer plans to hunt again tonight, and there are two reasons for this.

One is that there are not many threads in his silk sac, and if there are any more large insects stuck to the net, even if he can catch and kill them, there will not be enough silk threads for the next web, and if there is no cobwebs formed by silk threads to protect him on the periphery, he is likely to fall into unknown danger.

The second is the huge corpse of the dead leaf mantis and the jungle scorpion, even if Wang Xiaoyu has the passive skill [Quick Digestion], it is enough for Wang Xiaoyu to eat all night.

……

Drag the corpses of the dead leaf mantis and the jungle scorpion to the center, and Wang Xiaoyu used the dead leaves and silk threads to cover them again for camouflage.

After all the preparations were completed, Wang Xiaoyu also quickly climbed into the dead leaves, and his experience had improved a lot by killing these two insects, and it was estimated that he would soon be able to gain experience by eating and upgrade from level 7 to level 8.

Wang Xiaoyu, who had been eating for a while, suddenly thought of something, he tore open a piece of meat on the mantis's abdomen with his chelicera, Wang Xiaoyu grabbed the meat and twisted the insect body to crawl out of the dead leaves again, and put the mantis meat in front of the red-headed cricket's head.

"The reward for you, since I have made an agreement with you, I will not break my promise, I forgot to let you go before weaving the net just now, but don't worry, I will definitely let you go tomorrow morning." Wang Xiaoyu said to the red-headed cricket.

But the red-headed cricket has been trembling when he sees Wang Xiaoyu appear, obviously the cricket did not listen to what Wang Xiaoyu said, Wang Xiaoyu sighed in his heart, he and ordinary insects are really difficult to communicate.

The top of the red-headed cricket was also covered with a dead leaf to camouflage, and Wang Xiaoyu retreated.

……

There were no twists and turns in eating overnight, Wang Xiaoyu successfully rose to level 8 in the middle of the night through continuous eating, and his body length also grew from 16 cm to nearly 20 cm.

It takes about 250 leaves of experience to get from level 8 to level 9, and through eating in the second half of the night, Wang Xiaoyu's experience has successfully risen to about 50 pieces of experience.

It made Wang Xiaoyu feel a little pity, because eating these two insect corpses until it was close to the early morning did not allow Wang Xiaoyu to [evolve] any new skills.

On the contrary, a mosquito that accidentally hit a cobweb, and after being eaten by Wang Xiaoyu, an activable skill of [Infrared Perception] appeared.

By activating this skill, Wang Xiaoyu can detect objects within 20 meters where the heat is significantly higher than the surrounding area, and if it is within 3 meters, his [infrared perception] effect will be greatly enhanced, as long as he observes carefully, everything that is different from the temperature of the surrounding environment will be observed by him.
