Chapter 144: Eight Section Worms
When Green looked back, he saw nine identical insects breaking through the water, the same type that had attacked him before, but they seemed to be smaller.
Green reached out and slammed it down.
It was an invisible hand that appeared above the nine insects, and the next moment, all nine insects were slapped back into the lake, exploding nine splashes.
After stuning all nine insects, Green dragged them to the shore again.
As soon as Green's thought moved, seven white flames appeared in Green's hand, and with Green's next move, the seven flames floated towards the seven insects respectively.
Soon, all seven insects were burned and reduced to ashes.
Green left two, a female and a male.
The reason for this choice is that Greene feels that this insect will inevitably have some effect, so it is necessary to reproduce, leaving a male and a female, which is the purpose.
The reason why we don't leave all the insects behind is that there are too many insects and it is too cumbersome to deal with.
Two stunned insects were trapped by Grimm in two makeshift cages, which Grimm had built using magic from the dirt on the shore, reinforced to hold up for a while.
Green walked over to the first, and the largest, insect, and took a closer look.
The shape of this insect is somewhat similar to that of a scorpion, but it has no pincers and no tail, and its body is divided into eight segments, with two broad segments in the front and six small segments in the back.
Underneath one of the bodies, there is a pair of appendages.
Green gave the insect a name, the eight-knot worm.
The main means of attack of the eight-node insect is the huge mouthpart, which is very powerful and sharp, and if an ordinary person is bitten, that part of the flesh will be separated in a moment.
In addition, a pair of appendages under the first body of the eight-knotted insect can also be used as an attack weapon.
Green decided to dissect the eight-node worm in front of him on the spot.
The necessary tool for dissection is a knife, which Green didn't carry, but Green has something that can be replaced, and if he condenses a wind magic, he can easily cut through the eight-knotted worm.
Green found a venom gland near the mouthparts of the eight-knotted worm.
At this point, the fighting strength of the eight-node insect will rise a little more, and the eight-node insect is already on par with Hansen without considering the venom gland, and if the venom gland is added, it will be even higher.
Of course, this also means that Hansen will definitely not be able to defeat the eight-node worm.
There are many conditions that depend on whether the battle is won or not.
The right time, place and people.
In a battle that only seeks to win or lose, Hansen basically has no hope of victory, the eight-knotted insect is huge, the carapace is hard, the strength is strong, and it can also use poison, and the advantage is obvious.
But if it was a life-and-death battle, then Hansen would have a few more chances of winning.
As long as Hansen doesn't be too careless like he was when he faced the orc squad last time, and using his decades of combat experience, it will not be difficult to kill the eight-knotted worm.
The poison of these eight knots can be used as a material for some kind of medicine.
Green kept the poison glands of these eight-ring insects separately.
The rest of the parts, there is nothing to look at, the overall structure is not much different from the insects of the Overworld, and the only hard carapace with merit is not useful to Grimm.
Grimm doesn't need this carapace to craft defensive gear.
In comparison, the clothes made of Angora rabbit fur can achieve the same defensive ability after being depicted in the magic array, and the clothes are much more comfortable to wear.
Green took out the leg of an eight-knot worm.
After that, light the flame.
After a while, a burst of meaty aroma wafted out.
Green took a small bite first.
"The taste is average, similar to the meat of ordinary crabs, it is not poisonous, and it can be used as ordinary food. ”
This is Green's evaluation of the eight-section insect meat.
After the analysis, Green walked up to the two trapped eight-knotted insects, and two white flames threw them down, turning the two eight-node insects into ashes as well.
The eight-knotted worm is not of much value, and there is no need to bring it back to the Overworld.
Green carried the roasted eight-knot worm leg and walked to the edge of the lake.
Based on the previous situation, Green speculated that these eight-node insects should be the top of the food chain in this secret realm, otherwise there would not have been so many eight-node insects breaking through the water just now when Green had just been on the road.
The eight-node insect can live on the ground as well as underwater.
If it weren't for the eight-node insects at the top of the food chain, they would spend more time not underwater, but on the shore, and only enter the water when hunting.
In addition to the eight-node insects, there should be some other creatures in the lake, otherwise the eight-node insects will not survive, but the number will not be too much, and those eight-node insects just now are all out of hunger.
Green held the roasted eight-knotted insect legs, mainly to attract the creatures in the lake to see if they were valuable.
A snake appeared, pitch black.
Green caught the snake, examined it, and turned the snake into a roast.
This happened until a golden fish appeared in front of Grimm.
This fish, and this lake, seems to be incompatible, and has no combat ability, but other creatures seem to be a little afraid of this fish, and even avoid it when they encounter it.
Green thought it was a little strange and quickly caught the fish.
And with this look, Green discovered the strangeness of this fish.
This fish has a very special part of its body, which is a pouch containing some transparent, with a little orange liquid, which is very pure and free of impurities.
Green punctured the pouch, allowing the liquid to leak out.
This is oil, and it is also a very good quality oil, much better than the butter, mutton fat, and fish oil in the castle, not at the same level.
If Eliam could get this oil, her food would be even more delicious.
Green was a little surprised.
The Duke's Castle, after more than half a year, has added a lot of fantasy materials, including fruits, staple foods, and meats, but in terms of condiments, there has not been much harvest.
Sivir red pepper can only be adapted to some dishes, but the umami agent made by fluorescent mushrooms can be put in most dishes, but it is similar to green onions, ginger and garlic, as well as various oils, vinegars and the like, but no.
But now this fish is a high-quality oil that makes up for the shortcomings of the Duke's castle.
Green roasted the snake meat in his hand again, hoping to attract more of the fish, at least, to the point where they could reproduce.
However, Green was a little strange about why the other creatures in the lake would avoid this fish, and Green did not find any danger on this fish.
After thinking for a moment, Green dropped a drop of oil into the lake.
Soon, the oil dispersed into a thin layer.
A small insect passed by, and suddenly convulsed, and sank to the bottom of the lake forever.
