Chapter 22: The Henchman of the Butterfly Larvae
Activates the skill [Infrared Perception]: Obtained through the talent [Evolution]. Mosquitoes usually use this skill to find targets for lifestealing, but this skill is obviously more useful to you. By activating this skill, you can sense nearby thermal anomalies.
Although he didn't have any useful skills by eating the dead leaf mantis and jungle scorpion corpses overnight, the [infrared perception] obtained by eating a mosquito was obviously more useful to Wang Xiaoyu, and for the weak, this skill could at least allow him to avoid enemies he couldn't resist, such as omnivorous monster goblins or other large creatures.
Not only that, this skill is very useful even if Wang Xiaoyu grows up, [Infrared Perception] can be said to be the nemesis of assassin classes centered on [Stealth] and [Stealth], and in some ways it is even more powerful than [True Eye].
However, this skill also has some flaws, although [Infrared Perception] can be continuously activated like his [Green Camouflage], but as long as this skill is activated for a long time, Wang Xiaoyu's compound eyes will feel very weak, so this skill cannot be kept on by Wang Xiaoyu at any time.
……
The sky was slightly bright, and although the corpses of the dead leaf mantis and the jungle scorpion had eaten all night, most of them remained, and the flesh that was the easiest to eat was the most left.
This is because Wang Xiaoyu didn't eat much easy-to-eat meat at all, and what he tried to eat the most was the carapace of the scorpion.
The skill that Wang Xiaoyu wants to obtain the most is [Carapace Armor], after all, his biggest shortcoming now is that the skin on the surface of his body is too tender.
However, unlike the ladybug that Wang Xiaoyu once encountered, the carapace of the scorpion was too hard for him, and Wang Xiaoyu also tried to chew and eat the carapace of the scorpion [Strengthened Chelicera], but in reality Wang Xiaoyu couldn't bite the carapace of the scorpion at all.
There is no way, Wang Xiaoyu can only use stones to continuously smash the scorpion carapace into small pieces and then forcibly swallow it, but this efficiency is still too low, so Wang Xiaoyu did not eat many scorpion carapaces overnight, and most of these two insect corpses were left.
Similar to the hard and sharp mouthparts of the praying mantis, as well as the sturdy sickle Wang Xiaoyu, he can't bite. As for the poison gland next to the poison gland on the tail of the scorpion, Wang Xiaoyu can bite it, but the danger factor of eating the poison gland is too high, Wang Xiaoyu doesn't think that his talent [adaptability] can allow him to survive in the face of poison.
This is also the fundamental reason why Wang Xiaoyu did not [evolve] his skills overnight, and the powerful skill parts that the scorpion and mantis possess Wang Xiaoyu either can't bite, or he just doesn't dare to eat.
……
Glancing at the remaining two insect corpses, Wang Xiaoyu sighed in his heart, it's time to leave here, although Wang Xiaoyu is also a little reluctant to leave the remaining insect corpses, but now there is not so much time for him to eat.
Because now......
Burst!
【Jet Silk Thread】Activation!
Wang Xiaoyu twisted his body and poked out the head of the insect, and another sticky silk thread squirted out, and through the gap of the dead leaves, a black ant that was sticking to the spider web and struggling was completely sticky.
Monster: Great Black Ant (Mole Ant)
Grade: 6
Combat effectiveness: negligible
Most of the bug predators have already started to rest after night, but there are also some bugs who have just woken up and are about to start a new day.
With super restricted abilities [Jet Silk Thread] and [Sticky Silk Thread] and human wisdom, Wang Xiaoyu can basically be said to be standing at the top of the insect world, but Wang Xiaoyu knows that there are two kinds of insects that he can't afford to provoke at present, and the ant army is one of them.
Wang Xiaoyu also wanted to continue to eat up the remaining scorpions, but it was a pity because the sticky big black ant had already arrived for the fifth one in the morning......
Click!
Wang Xiaoyu crawled out from under the dead leaves again, and then used his chelica to bite the big black ant that wanted to call his companions with [Worm Language] in half......
Wang Xiaoyu knew that he couldn't drag it out any longer, because the frequency of the arrival of the big black ants had become higher and higher, and these big black ants should have been attracted by the fishy smell of praying mantis and scorpion corpses, and it was very likely that the remaining corpses would be surrounded by these ants if they continued to eat, and it would be difficult to leave if they really arrived at that time.
Wang Xiaoyu soon began to prepare before leaving, Wang Xiaoyu tied the scorpion tail needle cut with a stone to the top of his head with a silk thread, although this poisonous needle Wang Xiaoyu could not inject venom into the prey like a scorpion, but there was still a little bit of toxicity left on it, and it was also a simple weapon that could improve some of his self-protection ability.
Continuing to tie the mouthparts of the mantis and the two sturdy sickles to his body with silk threads, unlike the tail needles of the scorpion, Wang Xiaoyu did not plan to use them as weapons, but planned to find a way to grind and eat them in his free time, these two things should be the most powerful part of the mantis's body.
……
After eating one side of the triangular spider web and recovering it, the silk thread in Wang Xiaoyu's silk bag had been filled again, and Wang Xiaoyu also decided to leave here......
However, Wang Xiaoyu had one more thing to do before leaving, he used his chelica to remove the dead leaves that covered the red-headed cricket's body, and then used his saliva to melt the silk threads that stuck to the red-headed cricket's body.
"Okay, you're free......" Wang Xiaoyu said to the red-headed cricket.
Unlike Wang Xiaoyu, who expected the red-headed cricket to flee quickly, the red-headed cricket did not run away, but quickly scurried into the dead leaves......
"Delicious!" The joyful chirping of red-headed crickets was heard.
Wang Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, only to realize that the mantis meat he had put on the dead leaves for the red-headed cricket last night had been eaten up, thinking of the cricket's trembling and restlessness before and eating happily now, it was like two insects.
"It's really a simple-minded bug...... Wang Xiaoyu shook his worm brain and said softly.
"Red-headed cricket, eat for a while and leave, it's dangerous here......" Wang Xiaoyu reminded the red-headed cricket eating in the dead leaves loudly with [Insect Language], and then walked outside without looking back, as for whether this cricket can understand Wang Xiaoyu is not going to care.
……
Wang Xiaoyu recalled the route of yesterday's daytime, and decided to go to that place to wait, Wang Xiaoyu expected that in the evening or earlier, the mortal-level monster would be born.
This is also one of the few mortal-level monsters that Wang Xiaoyu can defeat - slimes.
The fully grown slime Wang Xiaoyu will naturally not be an opponent, because as long as he is drowned by the opponent's bounce, his insect body will be digested by the slime full of digestive juices.
However, for the slime who was only the size of a fist that had just been born, Wang Xiaoyu felt that he still had the possibility to defeat the other party.
The place where Wang Xiaoyu decided to go was a foul-smelling silt accumulation site, which was blessed with unique conditions to form a simple slime nest, and Wang Xiaoyu saw the green gum that was the size of a human thumb during the day yesterday.
Wang Xiaoyu didn't find any information about the gum through the [Exploration Technique] yesterday, and he knew that it was because this slime had not been born in the true sense.
Wang Xiaoyu's trip was precisely to wait for the slime to be born, and then kill it in its weakest ......
……
……
Wang Xiaoyu had just climbed out not far when the sound of jumping sounded from behind Wang Xiaoyu, and it seemed that the red-headed cricket obeyed his words and left from the dead leaves.
It's just that it didn't take long for Wang Xiaoyu to notice that something was wrong, because the red-headed cricket seemed to be following him.
Wang Xiaoyu turned his head to look back, and he noticed that the red-headed cricket was shaking its head as if it was looking at him.
"I'm a delicious cricket, come and eat me!" The red-headed crickets chirped with joy.
Wang Xiaoyu was stunned for a while, did this red-headed cricket survive enough......
"Meat! Delicious! Still! ”
"I'm a delicious cricket!"
The red-headed cricket chirped again, and Wang Xiaoyu was stunned and understood why the red-headed cricket said what he just said.
"Do you want to continue to be my bait and trade it for food with me?"
"Bait! Bait! Bait! ”
Wang Xiaoyu shook the head of the insect gently, the meat of the praying mantis is indeed the most delicious food that Wang Xiaoyu has eaten for so long since he was born, but is this red-headed cricket's dedication to food more important than its own life being threatened?
didn't think much about it, because having a bait would still be of great help to Wang Xiaoyu's hunting anyway, and having such a bait would save him a lot of trouble.
"Okay, you can follow me, I will give you a little bit of prey every time, but you better keep quiet by my side, your voice is too loud and can easily cause unnecessary danger."
"I'm a delicious cricket, come and ......"
The joyful chirping of the red-headed cricket appeared again, but this time before half of the call, the wings of the red-headed cricket rubbed against the sound were stuck by the silk thread sprayed by Wang Xiaoyu.
"I told you to keep your voice out, simple-minded worm......"
