Chapter 15: The Tide of Splitting Worms
Mo Qing returned to the family, and everywhere he saw three generations of children busy, going back and forth between the pharmacy and the armor shop.
People are preparing to go to the valley next to the botanical garden to exterminate the splinter insects, which is an opportunity to improve their strength and make a fortune.
Of course, there are dangers, and the large number of splinter worms is enough to threaten the lives of fighters.
Every insect tide lasts for half a month, which is also a long process.
The splitting insect is a high-level insect in the Cangmang Continent, and in order to train their children, the Mo family got some splitting insect eggs a long time ago and raised them in the valley.
After strict control, every three years, a split worm egg hatches, and a female worm hatches first.
After the mother worm is born, she devours everything around her, and after replenishing almost the same amount of energy, she will split into ten larvae.
Bugs are also graded, and female worms generally have at least fourth-level fighter strength after birth, most of them are level five, and some can even reach level six.
If it is a fifth-level female worm, then the ten larvae he splits out will have a fourth-level strength.
And these ten larvae, after birth, also begin to devour around like a mother, and then each larva divides into ten third-order larvae.
And so on, the 100 newly split tertiary larvae will also split, splitting out 1,000 second-order larvae.
1,000 second-order larvae, and eventually 10,000 first-order larvae.
Generally speaking, the strength of bugs is inferior to people, and it is not very difficult for a first-level fighter to kill a first-level larva in a separate battle.
And the splitting insect has an advantage, that is, there will be a green crystal in the body, which is the source of life for the insect, and this green crystal is a very important medicinal material, and many medicines will be used.
These split eggs of the Mo family can be said to be treasures now, but other families do not.
Let the children of the family kill the split insects, and then return to the family to obtain the corresponding rewards or money according to the number of kills and the number of crystals obtained, this habit has continued for a long time in the Mo family.
In the past, Mo Qing was young, his strength was poor, and he couldn't participate in the battle to kill the split insects, so he could only watch with envy as the rest of the family held bags of crystals to receive rewards.
Of course, there are dangers, and every time there is a battle to encircle and suppress the splitting insects, there will be many wounded people, and there is even a precedent of death.
Most of the people who died were those disciples who were obsessed with money, and who insisted on participating in the killing of the splitting insects despite their lack of strength.
Or it is greedy and recklessly entering the area of the advanced splitting worm, or facing the worm when it splits alone, and is swarmed by the mother worm and its cubs, and there is no chance of escape.
The Mo family has a great cause and many disciples, and in order to exercise the ability of the children to save their lives between life and death, this kind of activity of killing the splinter insects, the family does not have a master to protect it, and everything depends on the disciples' own ability.
Mo Qing looked at the busy crowd around him, and secretly made up his mind to walk towards the pharmacy.
When he came to the family's pharmacy, Mo Qing bought some intermediate cold qi elixirs to replenish the cold qi masses in his body.
At the very least, the cold air mass should be able to be used for a longer period of time, and at least it should be able to cover two fists.
Twenty bottles of Intermediate Cold Elixir were purchased, and then ten bottles of Primary Healing Elixir were purchased, which had a good effect on wound recovery and healing, and could also treat bruises and calm qi and blood.
Ten gold coins per bottle of healing potion, nine gold coins after discounting, the price is the same as that of primary physical strength potion.
After spending a total of more than four hundred gold coins, and about seven hundred gold coins remaining, Mo Qing did not continue to buy potions, since he was going to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the split insects, there were still many places to use the money.
With the mentality of trying, Mo Qing asked, "I don't know if there is a medicine that is colder than a high-grade cold qi elixir?"
The salesperson replied casually: "There are also super cold elixirs, but that is not common, and sometimes a bottle will not be made for several months." ”
Hearing the salesman's words, Mo Qing was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly asked, "How is the effect of the Super Cold Elixir?"
"Super cold potions can reach a low temperature of minus forty degrees Celsius, and they can be used for the condensation of some special metals, but those potions are generally not sold in apothecaries, and they are only available to the forgers of those metal armors. ”
"If it's sold in a pharmacy, how much does it cost a bottle?"
"One hundred gold coins, and the three generations of disciples don't have the authority to buy the Super Cold Elixir. ”
Mo Qing nodded, this is also expected, the family does have a lot of restrictions on disciples, but in fact, some restrictions are also useless.
Because the three generations of disciples all have parents, even if the children do not have permission, the parents always have permission, and the parents can buy them for the children.
This restriction is mainly to hope that children will not buy items indiscriminately, cultivate indiscriminately, and do everything under the supervision of their parents.
But for Mo Qing, this restriction is not small, his parents are not in the family now, and Mo Qing has no one to rely on, everything can only rely on himself.
Fortunately, I finally knew about the existence of the super cold elixir, and the low temperature of minus forty degrees was already a very, very low temperature, as long as it could appear in the family, I would always have a way to get it.
There are fewer and fewer people in the pharmacy, everyone goes to the abandoned valley to sign up, the earlier you enter the valley, the sooner you can kill insects, and the sooner you can get crystallization.
Mo Qing also packed up, got up and left the pharmacy, and went to the family's armor shop.
As a fighter, weapons are not allowed, and armor is very necessary.
The prohibition of the use of weapons is a common practice in the Vast Continent, and most orthodox families will abide by this custom, although there are exceptions.
It's just that those who use weapons generally don't dare to take them out openly, but have to hide them so that they don't be discovered.
When Mo Qing came to the armor shop, there was no one here, only a few salesmen.
The things Mo Qing had to choose were very purposeful, which were two fist gloves, a helmet, and a rudimentary breastplate.
The fist glove can be said to be a weapon for fighters, which can not only greatly increase the lethality of the fist, but also play a certain defensive role.
Helmets and breastplates are used for pure defense, helmets are used to protect vital points such as the back of the head and temples, and breastplates are used to protect vital organs such as the heart.
As for the other belts, shoulder pads, skirt armor, arm guards, leg armor and boots, etc., although they are good, the prices are ridiculously expensive, and Mo Qing can only take a look.
One hundred and fifty gold coins for a helmet, two hundred gold coins for a breastplate, and one hundred gold coins for a fist glove, all of these things together cost Mo Qing another five hundred and fifty gold coins.
This was Mo Qing's biggest expense in addition to buying meteorites, and the money in his hand immediately left more than a hundred gold coins.
This is still the lowest-level armor selected, a high-level thing, and Mo Qing can't afford to use it.
After buying the armor, Mo Qing bought a large backpack to hold the crystals he obtained, and finally brought dried meat and energy drinks, and only stopped after spending the money with only eighty gold coins left.
Everything was almost ready, and then we walked in the direction of the abandoned valley.
Along the way, Mo Qing was not in a hurry, but took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and absorbed all twenty bottles of intermediate cold qi elixir.
At this time, the cold qi in Mo Qing's body finally increased again, about a little bigger than an ordinary duck egg.
Mo Qing experimented with it, and the cold air was already able to cover his hands, and it lasted for five seconds!
Entering the abandoned valley with the strength of a trainee fighter is an adventure in itself, and you can't be the first to enter the valley, because it starts when the insects are most dense, and although the benefits are the greatest, the same danger is also great.
Mo Qing still put safety first, waited for the first wave of crazy insect tide before entering the valley, and slowly fought guerrillas.
When Mo Qing came to the family's abandoned valley, the guards at the entrance of the valley were all stunned.
"Mo Qing, what are you doing here, do you want to go into the valley to kill insects?"
There are ten guards, all of them have the strength of a boxer, and the leader of the guards is even the peak of a ninth-level boxer, these guards are here, and no matter how strong the bugs inside are, they don't want to break out of the abandoned valley.
Mo Qing nodded and said to the guards, "Please register me, and then give me a dagger to dig crystals, I will enter the valley now." ”
The guards glanced at each other, although they felt a little inappropriate, but the family rules stated that as long as the three generations of disciples signed up, they could not refuse.
can't stop a child's heart to become a strong man, the family thinks that strong people are tempered between life and death, even if they feel that something is wrong, they can only register Mo Qing according to the rules, and then hand Mo Qing a small metal and a small dagger.
"Young Master Mo Qing, this is a monitor, which is used to record the number of your kills, and can feed the numbers back to the Hui family to determine your results. This dagger is used to dig crystals, good luck!"
The leader of the guards handed the dagger to Mo Qing, but he was thinking in his heart, it seems that in this year's abandoned valley, there are still dead people!
