Chapter 18: Challenging the Second-Level Splinter Worm
"Phew!
Mo Qing withdrew his dagger and kicked away the corpse of the first-level splitting insect under his feet.
It's been three days since he came to the abandoned valley, and Mo Qing has also changed two hiding places before and after.
After the first kill, Mo Qing gradually had an intuitive understanding of such things as splitting insects.
Its attack methods, its weaknesses and special surnames, Mo Qing has already mastered them.
Once familiarized, this bug is not very difficult to kill, and its fragile defense is destined to fight it quickly.
But after this process, Mo Qing was also injured, and his arm was bitten by a splitting insect, but fortunately, he was able to recover thanks to the foresight and primary healing potion.
Inside the backpack, there were already five crystals of first-level splitting insects, and Mo Qing had killed a total of twelve first-level splitting insects, and the success rate of harvesting crystals had not yet reached fifty percent.
The place where Mo Qing is hiding now is a depression in the mountain wall, after all, it is also relatively sheltered from the wind, and it is difficult for the Splinter Worm and others to find it.
In this place, Mo Qing had already killed nine splinter insects.
After three days of observation, Mo Qing found that the range of activity of the splitting insect has a certain regularity.
A second-order splitting worm can split ten first-order splitting worms, and generally speaking, a litter of splitting worms are all active in the same area, just like the territory of animals, and do not invade each other.
The mountain wall where Mo Qing is located is considered a marginal area, where there is a litter of split worms, a second-level female worm, and ten first-level larvae.
And within a radius of two miles, there is the territory of a third-level splitting insect, and a total of ten second-level splitting insect cubs are all over this territory.
Among them, there are about four second-level splinter worms following the side of the third-level splitting worms, which can be regarded as the personal guard of the third-level splitting worms.
The remaining six second-level splinter insects were scattered all over the surrounding areas, and where Mo Qing was now located was the edge area.
Now, within a radius of nearly 100 meters, there is only one second-level splitting worm and one first-level splitting worm.
Mo Qing now has some experience in killing the first-level splitting worm, and he has begun to have higher thoughts in his heart, wanting to try the strength of the second-level splitting worm.
According to the division of strength, the strength of the second-level splinter insect is probably at the peak of the first-level fighter and the early stage of the second-level fighter.
But even at this level, it is not something that Mo Qing can fight now, he wants to try to deal with the second-level split worm, and the bigger reason is that he wants to sharpen himself.
The path of progress of the strong can only be achieved by hovering between life and death, and Mo Qing's idea is very simple, that is, to challenge his own limits.
After three days of fighting, Mo Qing felt that his strength had reached a critical point, although there was no tester, but he could also feel that if he improved a little more, he was afraid that he would reach the level of a first-level fighter.
But Mo Qing still has a trace of regret in his heart.
That is, he has not yet comprehended the martial arts before he becomes a first-class fighter.
His own frost and cold qi should be regarded as a special ability, not a boxing skill.
Mo Qing considered himself a rare genius, and with adventures, and more importantly, the cold qi in his body seemed to have brought him something extra, that is, combat skills.
It may be that the meteor is really someone's inheritance and was obtained by himself, but in this case, he still can't comprehend his boxing skills, and his self-confidence in Mo Qing will inevitably be a blow.
Mo Qing has heard of the most talented person, the most talented person is the boxing skills that he comprehended when he was a ninth-level boxer, but Mo Qing also knows that he has never left the family since he was a child, and there must be a lot of geniuses outside, maybe there are many people who comprehended boxing skills at the boxing stage.
Mo Qing's heart is very high, he wants to be stronger than others, and the first step to prove himself is to comprehend a boxing technique before becoming a first-class fighter.
But these days have passed, and Mo Qing feels that his ideas are a little unrealistic.
If you can't comprehend boxing skills for a long time, won't you advance to the next level? This is obviously unrealistic.
It's been delayed for six years, and Mo Qing doesn't have time to delay it any longer.
Therefore, he had suppressed the idea of comprehending boxing skills at the stage of apprentice boxer, and instead wanted to challenge the second-level splitting worm, so that he could progress as soon as possible and reach the realm of a first-level boxer as soon as possible.
With this thought, Mo Qing left the depression of the mountain wall where he was hiding, and quietly headed towards the area where the second-level splitting insect was located.
The place where the second-level splinter worm is located is a large pit, and when the splitter begins to split small bugs, it often chooses to be in a large pit, and once the splitting is successful, they will bury their bodies in the dirt.
Because just after the split, the mother worms will be in a weak period, which is the time when their strength is the worst, at this time, they are the easiest to kill, and they often choose to temporarily dodge.
Splinter worms can be split endlessly, but the prerequisite for their splitting is that all ten larvae that split out in the previous wave are killed.
Sensing that her larvae have died, the mother worm will re-divide the next wave of larvae.
And when the splitting worms have split their larvae ten times, they mutate.
The result of the mutation is two situations, one is to die directly due to the depletion of life force, and the other is to advance to a higher level of splinter worm because of the mutation.
It's best to kill all the Splinter Worms when they split nine pups, in case they advance after ten splits, and the person who kills them will have to take a certain risk.
The second-level splitting insect that Mo Qing is looking for now is estimated to be the second split, and it is when Mo Qing sees that its tentacles have changed from two to four.
For each litter of pups, the mother worm will grow two more antennae, and the more antennae the mother worm has, the stronger the strength.
Mo Qing walked slowly in the direction of the headwind, lest his taste reach the Splinter Worm and be detected by it.
After getting closer to a distance of about twenty meters, Mo Qing stopped and looked at the second-level splinter worm in the big pit not far away.
The second-order splitting worm was almost five times larger than the first-order splitting worm, and it felt a bit like a half-sized pig, revealing a green back in the pit.
Next to the pit, a first-class splinter worm wandered around, searching the dirt for anything to eat.
The abandoned valley was originally full of trees, but as soon as the tide of splitting insects appeared, basically all the plants were eaten by the splitting insects, and the surviving plants that Mo Lan said, Mo Qing had not seen yet.
Mo Qing silently calculated that if he wanted to fight with the second-level splitting worm, then the first thing he had to do was to deal with the first-level splitting worm.
The battle with the second-level split insect must not be disturbed, otherwise Mo Qing will be in trouble, and he doesn't want to try the taste of being flanked back and forth.
However, the speed of killing the first-level splitting worm must be fast, otherwise the second-level splitting worm senses that its cub is about to die, and it will quickly give birth to the next wave of first-level splitting worms, and Mo Qing will lose the opportunity to deal with the second-level splitting worm.
After making up his mind, Mo Qing felt a stone from the ground.
Weighing it with his hand, Mo Qing aimed the stone at that level of splitting worm and smashed it fiercely!
At a distance of twenty meters, the stone flew over and had little lethality, and basically smashed down the back of the splitting insect by virtue of its habitual surname.
The first-level splinter worm howled, its fragile body was already broken, and it turned its head fiercely, looked around, and soon saw the human attacking it.
The eight feet moved quickly, and the two tentacles were also shaking desperately, and the first-level splinter insect rushed towards Mo Qing.
Mo Qing's body retreated quickly, the speed of the first-level splitting insect was not fast, he could throw it away, but he couldn't leave too far, after killing the first-level splitting worm, he had to go to the second-level splitting insect immediately.
The body moved rapidly, and Mo Qing always kept a distance of about five meters from the splitting worm.
Seeing that it was about forty meters away from the second-level splinter worm, it was a safe distance.
Mo Qing immediately stopped, looking at the splitting insect that had already swooped in the air, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Huh!"
Mo Qing suddenly lowered his body, dodging the flying pounce of the splitting worm, and at the same time stretched out a hand, allowing the tentacles of the splitting worm to wrap around his wrist!
Watching the body of the splitting worm fly over his head, Mo Qing pulled back violently, pulling the body of the splitting worm in the air and paused for a moment.
Now is the time!
Hand knives!
Triple Slash!
Mo Qing stood up like a knife and slashed at the body of the splitting worm!
"Puff puff!"
The three palms were cut, and under the protection of the metal fist gloves, the power of Mo Qing's palms increased more and more, and there was a strong cutting force, and on the back of the split worm, three deep wounds appeared!
The tentacles let go weakly, their bodies fell, and the splinter worms twitched on the ground.
Mo Qing walked over, smashing the head of the splitting insect that was still dying with one foot, and even the dagger was useless, so he dug directly into the head of the splitting worm, and a green crystal arrived in his hand.
"Luckily, it's the sixth one, all the obstacles to challenge the second-level splitting insect have been cleared, it's time to fight once!"
