Chapter 208: Old Acquaintances
Still, such a great dinner...... If you're disturbed by a few bugs, it's really unpleasant......
Qi Lin, who was originally sitting on the ground roasting meat, suddenly stood up, pulled out his pistol, and pulled the trigger on the ground five meters away.
Drill jaw worm, this is a kind of stag beetle similar to the appearance of the common insect mutant creature, the blood in the body contains a large number of aromatic hydrocarbons and ester compounds, very flammable, once contaminated with humans or other creatures, as long as it touches a little open flame, it is enough to burn the whole person to only a charred skeleton.
It's just that...... According to the information given on the brain, the jawworm is a solitary creature, only in the mating season will look for the opposite sex jaw worm to reproduce, usually in the 2~10 meters deep underground space activities, by looking for other insect mutant organisms to lay eggs in the soil and the roots and stems of plants for food.
The jawworms like warmth by nature, and tend to approach the surface only at noon when the temperature is at its highest - but now that the temperature on the ground is approaching freezing, these six non-social jawworms appear in the shallow soil in a position that semi-encloses Qi Lin, which is really a bit abnormal.
In addition, the jaw worm rarely takes the initiative to attack humans, although the pair of jaws looks very aggressive, and the blood in the body is an extremely violent flammable substance, but in fact, the jaw worm is one of the few docile species among the mutated creatures, and it is simply a two-headed cow among insects.
This situation reminded Qi Lin of a person, a person who fought with him twice, but in the end he didn't distinguish a winner or loser.
"Insect Master?!"
"Tsk, that's amazing." A tall and thin figure appeared on the top of the hill where Eight Fingers had hunted jackals before, and with a tingling sound, thousands of mutated insects of all kinds crawled out of the soil beside him, covering half of the hillside.
"You escaped alive?" Qi Lin raised his eyebrows, and then took advantage of the fact that the two sides had not yet made a move, and tore off a half-baked piece of meat from the jackal and threw it into his mouth.
If you want to fight, you have to eat first.
"Yes, you can get out, why can't I? Besides, I have to tell you that this prey in your hand was originally discovered by us. The insect master pointed to the barbecue in Qi Lin's hand.
"You guys? You're in league with that Eight Fingers? Qi Lin thought about it for a while, and then he figured out why there was no trace of the second person's life in that shack - if he was an insect master, he wouldn't be willing to get too close to a guy like Eight Finger with such a "perverted fetish".
"Anyway, if it weren't for that madman, I guess it would be hard for me to escape from that hellish place, but well, he doesn't have much use for it now, oh, no...... It stinks, but at least I can feed my precious pet. The insect master shrugged his shoulders and said with some indifference.
Seeing the number of insects all over the mountains, Qi Lin knew that during this period of time, the insect master probably had some adventures - before, the other party's ability to control the insect swarm was not so strong.
Could it be that this guy is also a third-level evolutionary?
The insect master stood on the top of the mountain, keeping a distance of 400 to 500 meters from Qi Lin, at this distance, even if Qi Lin changed to an assault rifle to shoot, the other party would have enough reaction time to dodge or manipulate the insect to jump up and block the gun.
Obviously, he was also afraid of Qi Lin's attack methods.
"Then you ran out to tell me I robbed your prey?" Qi Lin sneered and shook the barbecue meat with the gun in his hand.
"Hmm...... I originally planned to let the jawworms sneak up on you and kill you, but I didn't expect to be discovered by you, so looking at the way you look now, you seem to have been promoted? It's a bit tricky. The insect master said without hesitation.
"Also" has been promoted...... In this way, this guy is really already a third-level evolutionary like Qi Lin.
Qi Lin didn't dare to be careless at all, a third-level evolutionary of a category like the insect master already had the ability to control E-level mutant creatures, and now, the highest number of insects exposed to the outside was only F-level, who knew if he had a more powerful killing move to hide behind.
"And what do you want?"
If he could force the other party back, Qi Lin still didn't want to do it - this guy from the insect master felt too dangerous to him, unless he could be sure that he would kill him with one blow, otherwise, Qi Lin really didn't want to fight him.
With the lesson of the last time, this time to fight again, before those insects are killed, the insect master will definitely not give Qi Lin another chance to get close, and if he can't get close, with bullets alone, Qi Lin is not sure that he can kill the other party.
"I didn't think about it, oh yes, the wound you left me last time was really, very, very painful—" As he spoke, the insect master lifted his shirt with one hand, and Qi Lin could clearly see that on the other party's abdomen, there was a hideous scar, like a big centipede coiled around his waist.
This was the time on the rooftop, the insect master was cut open by the bone blade thrown by Qi Lin.
"Then you don't want to be slashed again, do you?" Qi Lin summoned the bone blade and pulled a knife flower in his hand. After two evolutions, the strength of the bone blade is now no less than that of some purple-quality melee weapons, and this time Qi Lin summoned a two-handed broadsword similar to a horse slashing knife, the pale matte bone blade blows off the hair, and exudes an extremely dangerous aura against the backdrop of twilight.
"No, no, no, of course not." The insect master shook his head, and then said, "Actually, we are almost the same now, and I didn't expect to bump into you here, although I don't know what your purpose is here, but since my sneak attack failed, I don't want to fight you head-on—well, as long as you are willing to divide your prey in half with me, I can leave here with my pet." ”
Qi Lin was a little surprised, but he was not surprised, the insect master, if you want to talk about scheming and prudence, among the players that Qi Lin has dealt with, it seems that only the unpredictable thunder can stabilize him.
The other party obviously also understands that at this time, if he wants to put himself to death, the insect master will definitely have to pay a lot of price.
With the knife in his hand, Qi Lin cut off the small half of the jackal, then thought about it, and cut off the fattest hind leg on it.
With a strong throw, the little half of the jackal that was still exuding heat was thrown by Qi Lin to the open space between the two, and before the barbecue could hit the ground, an unknown black beetle suddenly jumped out of the ground, caught the barbecue, and quickly crawled back to the feet of the insect master.
Picking up the barbecue, the insect master put it on the side of his nose and sniffed it, and then said: "The barbecue skills are good, but they are too stingy." ”
"Thanks for the compliment, you can go, goodbye."
"If I could, I hope we wouldn't see each other again." The insect master said with a smile, and then, surrounded by a large group of insects, slowly retreated backwards.
