Chapter 028: The Man at the Top of the Food Chain (1/3)

The area where Meng Bai landed was on an ice field northeast of the Island of Trials. The climate on the Island of Trials is unpredictable, sometimes it's a cloudless sunny day, and the next moment it's thunderclouds and a violent storm. In some places, it's a hot summer, but just a few steps away it will turn into a world of ice and snow.

The cold wind on the ice field is biting, and the strange thing is that when you look down from the air, the entire ice field has no grass, and there is no trace of strange beasts at all, and there is a thick permafrost layer everywhere.

The closer he got to the ice field, the more Meng Bai felt as if something was watching him beneath the permafrost.

Click.

Just as he was about to land, the frozen soil layer under his feet suddenly cracked, and then a terrifying abyssal giant mouth like a black hole swallowed towards Meng Bai.

"Abyssal Ice Worm!"

Seeing the huge ice worm drilling out of the frozen soil, Meng Bai immediately reacted, summoned the god-killing crossbow, and aimed at the huge mouthparts of the abyssal ice worm.

The Abyss Ice Worm is huge, but its reaction is not slow. The moment he sensed the danger, he did not hesitate to give up the prey to his mouth and retreated into the permafrost.

It was only at this time that Meng Bai could see the true face of this abyssal ice worm clearly.

The abyssal ice worm is a annelid, covered with countless steel-like crystallized scales, and the ice worm that attacked Meng Bai is huge, and the part that emerges from the surface is more than three meters.

Its mouthparts take up almost one-third of its body, revealing a pair of huge fangs. The hard, crystalline scales are covered with thick black spikes that can easily tear large prey to pieces.

Since the Abyssal Ice Worm lives in a dark underground cave, its eyes have long since deteriorated, and it can only rely on smell and hearing to locate its prey.

Seeing the abyssal ice worm disappear into the bottomless ice pit in the blink of an eye, Meng Bai's face was not much better, with the habits of the abyssal ice worm, once it was targeted by its prey, it would be difficult to escape, and this abyss ice worm would definitely make a comeback if the hunt failed.

"The Abyss Ice Worm is an awakened mid-level alien beast, and it is quite difficult to hunt. Moreover, this is the territory of the ice field and the abyssal ice worms, and I don't know how many abyssal ice worms are hidden underground. ”

It was difficult to move on the ice field, Meng Bai had just taken a few steps, and the frozen soil in front of him suddenly broke apart, and another abyssal ice worm crawled out of the crack in the ice and attacked frantically.

In the face of the huge abyssal ice worm, his fighting and boneless jiu-jutsu skills were obviously useless, so he could only find an opportunity to invite this abyssal ice worm to eat a "five fireballs".

Meng Bai jumped to dodge the fangs of the Abyss Ice Worm, summoned the Seven Star Knife and slashed at the body of the Abyss Ice Worm with all his might.

However, his knife seemed to slash at the impregnable iron wall, and a cloud of sparks burst out, but it failed to hurt the abyssal ice worm for half a point.

"It's so hard!"

Meng Bai's eyes were slightly cold, although he had never practiced any serious sword techniques, but with the power of awakening the fifth stage, the power of slashing this knife was also extraordinary. But for the abyss ice worm, there is no hair, and there is no way to break the defense.

The abyssal ice worm hissed from its mouth and opened its huge mouth to spit out a cloud of corrosive liquid.

At the moment when the Abyss Ice Worm opened its mouth, Meng Bai summoned a god-killing crossbow, aimed at the big mouth of the Abyss Ice Worm, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

A fiery red streamer shot out, and the meteor arrow tore through the air, bursting open in the mouth of the abyssal ice worm.

The Abyssal Ice Worm wailed for a while, its massive body broken in two, but its vitality was extremely tenacious, and it struggled and wriggled on the frozen ground before it died.

After a while, the Abyss Ice Worm finally stopped struggling, and it seemed to be completely cold.

After killing the Abyss Ice Worm with an arrow, Meng Bai stepped forward and stepped on the huge head of the Abyss Ice Worm, and then used the Seven Star Knife to pry open its skull, digging out a piece of crystal snow worm flesh from it.

The rest of the Abyssal Ice Worm is inedible, except for the flesh inside the skull.

This sparkling piece of insect meat melts in your mouth like creamy ice cream, and the flavor is even more tender and delicious than the best salmon sashimi. The flesh of the abyssal ice worm carried the cold aura unique to the ice field, and after swallowing it, Meng Bai clearly felt a cold aura flowing through his body.

It's like eating popsicles in the snow and ice, cold from head to toe, it's so cool!

After eating the meat of the abyss ice worm, Meng Fan felt that he was about to catch up with Bei Ye and become the man standing at the top of the food chain.

"Abyssal Ice Worm, Awakened Mid-Rank Alien Beast. Living in the ice field, feeding on glacial springs and snowfield beasts, it has a huge appetite, and can sometimes swallow a snowfield mammoth alive. The Abyss Ice Worm is rich in ice spirit energy, has a delicious taste, and can be used as raw sashimi. Deliciousness 300. ”

"The host eats the Abyss Ice Worm, gains 20 points of primordial spirit, and obtains talent fragment [Crystallization]. ”

This abyssal ice worm looks ugly, but its meat is unusually tender and delicious, and people can't stop at all. It's a pity that the only part that a huge abyssal ice worm can use for food is a small piece of meat, and it will be gone after one bite.

"There should be a lot of abyssal ice worms hiding under this ice field. Meng Bai licked his lips, there was still a period of time before the outbreak of the demonic tide, so there was no need to rush to the safety zone. Meng Bai planned to hunt some more abyssal ice worms on this ice field to see if he could gather the talent fragments.

The [Crystallization] talent of the Abyss Ice Worm is quite practical, and the armor defense of the crystallized armor is extremely perverted, and it is difficult for even a cannon to blast away. If ordinary awakened people don't have some means, they won't be able to break through the defense when they encounter the abyssal ice worm.

Half an hour later, on the barren ice field, Meng Bai held the Seven Star Knife to the fullest display of the lost chaotic cloak knife technique in the rivers and lakes, and fought fiercely with an abyssal ice worm with a huge body.

Meng Bai deliberately honed his sword skills, and in the fierce battle, his sword skills became more and more proficient, and his speed became faster and faster. It's just that the crystallized armor of the Abyss Ice Worm is too hard, and Meng Bai slashed hundreds of swords in one go, but he was never able to break the defense.

"Hey, you see there's someone over there hunting the Abyss Ice Worm. ”

At this time, three men, two women, and five figures suddenly appeared on the ice field, and it seemed that they were also awakened people who participated in the trial.

"This person can fight the abyss ice worm on a par, and he is a master. In the Awakened Squad, an imposing black long-standing royal sister had a different color on her face, staring at Meng Bai's constantly beating figure, her eyes glowing with brilliance.

"In my opinion, this person is already at the end of the crossbow, and the defense of the crystallized armor of the abyssal ice worm is perverted, and he can't break the defense at all. A cold and arrogant young man beside Sister Hei Changzhi put on a playful expression.

"What if he can defeat this abyssal ice worm?"

A cute and cute short-haired girl in the awakened team rolled her eyes, and her little face with baby fat showed a sly look, and she asked deliberately.

"Hmph, then I'll eat the socks!"

As soon as the flag was erected, Meng Bai, who was struggling with the abyssal ice worms, saw that the sky was getting dark, and the tide of demonic nature was about to explode. simply took out the god-killing crossbow and fired it into the soul, and happily sent this abyss ice worm to the western sky.

The cold and arrogant young man was stunned, and the next moment his face showed a look of shame.

"He's cheating!"
