Chapter 66: The Digging Beetle

After searching around for a while, Lin Ziming did not find the specific location where he first encountered the digging beetle, but he found that a lot of soil in the nearby land had been newly lifted, and patches were unevenly distributed in this area, each of which was about two square meters in size.

Lin Ziming knows through the inheritance of memory that this is the trace left by the digging beetle after predation, their racial characteristics have their own digging skills, which can allow them to move underground, but when they use the digging skills, they will also make full use of their physical advantages to strengthen the skills, they will use sharp jaws to crush the soil in front of them when digging underground, and then use several tentacles on their bodies to roll the soil behind them, which can speed up the digging speed a lot.

The Digging Beetle does not have a passage where it has dug underground, but is automatically filled in by them with their tentacles, so it is difficult for other creatures to use the Digging Beetle's natural skills to dig underground passages, but the Digging Beetle likes to go back because the excavated road is very loose, and it will be faster and less laborious to pass on it.

Looking at the surrounding mounds of old and new, it seems that this digging beetle has expanded its hunting range here, and it can be seen that it has just hunted before, relying on his current eyesight, Lin Ziming can clearly see that a mound not far away is still soaked in undried blood.

Now that you know where the digging beetle is, it's time to think about how to lure it in.

"Contagion" Lin Ziming recited the spell lightly, looked up at a bush forty or fifty meters away to the left, there was a wild deer looking at him alertly, this wild deer muscles were tense all over his body, and he would turn around and run away when the wind and grass moved, although the level of this wild deer was only level 4, but its speed was also the top among the ordinary creatures in this jungle.

The wild deer hiding in the grass also saw Lin Ziming's gaze, and wanted to turn around and leave immediately, but it was too late, the [Slowing Down Curse] made the wild deer's body several times slower, but its thinking was not affected......

After personally experiencing the corrosion of the poisonous mist, Lin Ziming was surprised to find that his ability to control the poisonous fog has been greatly improved, not only the control of the poisonous fog is more handy, but the control of the corrosion of the poisonous fog is also a further step.

Under his manipulation, the poisonous mist was like a living poisonous snake, entangled the limbs of the wild deer like a rope, and then corroded the limbs of the wild deer in half from the middle like a hot knife cutting butter, and the hooves of the limbs turned into pus after falling to the ground, and the poisonous mist did not continue to corrode inwards at the fractures of the limbs.

Lin Ziming was very satisfied with the accuracy of his poisonous mist manipulation, and came to the side of the wild deer, at this time, the wild deer that had lost its four hooves tried to stand up several times without success, and its fate after losing its four hooves had been decided, and it looked at the human beings approaching in front of it in horror, and its mouth let out a painful wail.

Looking at the wild deer in front of him who was still struggling, it desperately swung its antlers to prevent him from approaching, which really made it very difficult for Lin Ziming who wanted to step forward to make up for the knife, but don't underestimate the level 4 wild deer, its physical fitness is much stronger than Lin Ziming, who is now even incomparable to ordinary people, and it will also be injured if it is accidentally pushed by the antlers.

The reason why he didn't use the poisonous mist to kill the other party just now was that he was afraid that his poisonous mist control strength would not be good, and if the wild deer turned into pus, he would have to find a new bait, but now that he understands his ability, he doesn't need to worry.

It's okay to use the Slow Curse on a wild deer, but it's still the easiest to use the ability than to do it yourself.

With a slight hook of his fingers, he drew a wisp of poisonous smoke from the poisonous mist on the ground that had not yet dissipated, and then pointed to the head of the wild deer next to him, and the poison floated in the direction of his fingers.

But these struggles were all in vain, the wild deer's attack was completely useless against the poisonous mist, and the poisonous smoke wrapped around the wild deer's neck like a green collar, and Lin Ziming was the one holding the collar.

As the collar tightened, the deer's struggle became smaller and smaller, but Lin Ziming did not corrode the deer's head and body, which would cause the deer's blood to flow out and cause unnecessary waste, and this was not the best place to ambush.

Disperse all the poisonous gas on the carcass of the wild deer, then use a dagger to cut off the corroded parts, carefully drag it to a renovated mound, and quickly disembowel the wild deer.

The blood of the wild deer seeped into the ground along the soil, the digging beetle has a strong sense of hearing and smell, fortunately, its eyesight has not deteriorated, although it lives underground most of the time, it also uses its eyes to observe after returning to the land, if the eyesight of the digging beetle has deteriorated, then his [cursed eye] will be useless.

Lin Ziming had been waiting on the tree for more than half an hour, but there was still no movement on the dirt slope below, and the blood on the carcass of the wild deer had been completely drained, but the digging beetles did not come up to hunt.

"According to memory, the digging beetle will not let go of fresh meat in its mouth, could it be that the digging beetle has already left here?" Just when Lin Ziming was guessing, a Shiba dog seemed to smell the delicious taste of flesh and blood, and searched for it along the trajectory of Lin Ziming's drag wild deer, and after a while it came to the mound, and saw the wild deer carcass on the ground, where could the hungry Shiba dog endure it, and directly pounced on it to feast.

At this moment, a huge creature suddenly emerged from the dirt slope where there had been no movement, and it bit the Shiba Inu that was lifted into the air, and then used its tentacles to roll up the deer carcass on the ground and wanted to return to the ground.

"Hey! Now that you're here, don't even think about going down!" At this time, Lin Ziming, who was standing on the tree, yelled at the digging beetle that rushed out.

When the earth-digging beetle heard the sound, it saw a human standing on a large tree not far away, shouting loudly, it didn't want to pay attention to this human, today its prey was enough, it wanted to go back to the ground.

But when it was about to turn around, it saw a strange purple light appear in the eyes of this human being, and suddenly a pair of purple pupils seemed to be a limit across the distance, suddenly appeared in front of it, it suddenly felt bad, just wanted to do something, found that its body was completely unable to move, and the whole body was shackled by a strange force, no matter how it struggled, the effect was minimal.
