It was already afternoon when I got back to the rental house.

Lu Yao first asked the cactus ball to clean the house and made a cup of hot tea for himself.

When the room was clean, he turned on his computer while drinking tea.

After leaving this half a day, I don't know if there has been any change in the pixel world.

……

After landing in the simulator, Lu Yao first focused on Yaocheng.

Whether the world is chaotic or not, the final word is here.

Sarina reported to Lu Yao on the situation of the small world in the past few years.

Basically, everything is going well.

Except for a small episode.

The pixel world has given birth to a monster called the Black Water Strider, which has a strong appetite, an extremely high reproduction rate, and is quite aggressive.

This monster caused a lot of trouble to some pixel villains and transcendent creatures in the early days, and also caused some human damage, but under the leadership of Yaocheng, Yancheng and Saniro, the Western Continent quickly completed the encirclement and control of the Black Water Strider.

Through actual combat and testing, Yaocheng found that the black water strider was afraid of fire, restrained by anesthetic juice, and simple-minded. The Medicine Spoon Prophet also compiled a volume of the Compendium of the Habits of the Black Water Strider, which made this information public.

Yancheng excavated the commercial value of the Black Water Strider: their tongues and claws were all first-class high-quality materials, and although the meat in the carapace was small, it was very delicious.

Saniro became the most important main battle faction this time.

A large number of transcendent creatures form teams up to hunt Black Water Striders all over the world, on the one hand, to obtain special materials, and on the other hand, to sell them for a good price.

Because the furnace clan of the Dwarven Fortress has assessed that the tongue, claws, and teeth of the Black Water Strider are all practical and sophisticated materials. They continue to buy, and as long as they have enough of these materials, they can make great equipment.

Ever since the World City Vault became famous, so did the otherworldly creatures' passion for treasures.

After all, no one knows what tomorrow will bring, whether they will be seriously injured by encountering natural enemies. If you can defend yourself with a high-level treasure, you may be able to change the situation.

The people who are ahead of them already have excellent treasures.

For example, fish people and man-eating crabs.

The former's identity is between transcendent beings and human beings, and because of the pilgrimage and the sea, he has close contacts with Yaocheng.

Today, fish-people have many occupations, such as cooks, doctors, fishermen, and farmers. As a result, they are able to continue to receive potions [Anesthetic Juice] for healing and hunting.

The piranha crabs have formed mercenary groups, and as long as the price is right, they are willing to provide services such as bodyguards, transportation, and even hunting. In addition, they are highly intelligent and collaborative, and they are very popular with merchants, captains, and city guards.

Not long ago, the piranha crabs had a long-term relationship with the dwarves, and they always traveled with [blast furnace honey wine], relying on this special wine, they could communicate and negotiate with other transcendent beings. In addition, piranha crabs have a strong radiation to the ocean, and some special items can be found under the sea from time to time, and it will be easier to obtain fine treasures by refining and processing.

Holding these transcendent treasures will give you a sense of security and confidence.

If you don't have it, you feel very anxious.

The key is not whether to use it, but whether it is used or not.

Times are different.

In the past, there were not many transcendent beings in this world, and each of them could be entrenched in one side, controlling a huge territory, and there was generally no conflict.

But as the gods descended oracles, the era changed, and the split earthworm appeared...... The number of transcendent beings is increasing, and it is no longer feasible to live according to the old ways.

Every individual must follow the flow of the times, and the transcendent side is no exception.

The hunt for the Black Water Strider is just an outward manifestation of the otherworldly life in the larger environment.

This is an opportunity for the transcendent group to quickly accumulate treasures and advantages.

……

Lu Yao was not surprised after listening to Sarina's description.

Zanillo may be a neutral city, but it is truly rooted in the otherworld. As long as the city continues to progress and grow, transcendent beings will inevitably be affected by its radiation.

However, the economic species of the black water strider is an accidental development.

Lu Yao clicked on the Yaocheng Temple, and there was a black water strider caught by Sarina inside.

This four-legged small black worm is said to be very ferocious. But under the pixel picture, it looks very silly.

……

【Black Water Strider LV8】

Health: 133/133

Mana: 25/25

Damage: 10

Defense: 5

Speed: 6

【Rapid Reproduction】

Able to reproduce offspring quickly.

【Iron Stomach】

Most substances can be ingested as food.

【Piercing Tongue LV2】

【Dependents】

The Whistleblower is a transformed race.

……

Lu Yao frowned.

It turned out that it wasn't a natural evolution, it was a monster dropped by the [Whistleblower].

He pondered a little and brought the other party's train of thought.

The three major characteristics of the black water strider are that it can be raw, that it can be eaten, and that it is aggressive. There are theoretically no direct natural enemies of this invasive alien species, and they can occupy the top of the pyramid in various local areas by virtue of their numerical superiority.

And once they are given to develop from all directions, it is a catastrophe worthy of the end of the world, enough to destroy all species in a broken world.

It seems that the [Whistleblower] has no patience to continue waiting for the key, so he simply throws the Black Water Strider in, highlighting the destruction of the one that cannot be obtained.

As soon as Lu Yao entered, as soon as the Black Water Strider appeared, he was indeed helpless against this alien transcendent species.

The shoe is on the other foot.

The number of transcendent beings here continues to increase, and the secular civilization and the transcendent group gradually intersect with each other, and the appearance of the Black Water Strider has become a fragrant bait in everyone's eyes, competing to capture.

So the disaster drama of the alien invasion has become a warm daily routine of adding food to the table.

Lu Yao is happy to see this.

This is the power of civilizational development. There is no need for the god to keep an eye on him, and the members of the civilization system will react quickly and make choices and changes that are beneficial to them.

Isabel also flew over and told her what she had seen.

"The Southern New World was initially damaged by the Blackwater Strider, but soon, teams of adventurers and transcendents from all over the country arrived and caught and hunted almost all of the Blackwater Strider."

After this, the elves of the southern continent also completely decided to build a village belonging to the elves around the elven lake. They put aside their suspicions and asked Jyoti the Dryad to be their leader and protector, and Jyoti eventually agreed. ”

Lu Yaoxin said that this is good news.

Under external pressure, the elves of the Buddha system were anxious.

Isabel continued, "Everything is normal on the Eastern Continent, where the Blackwater Strider has invaded the territory of the Flame Bird and the Turkey, and has been largely wiped out. ”

"In the valley, Pinkerman took the white rose attendants to purge all the black water striders and make them into flower fertilizer, which is said to be very helpful for growing roses."

"In the Northern New World, the Yeti and the Pasha collected many of the Blackwater Strider's eggs and hatched them into the Blackwater Strider of the Dark Descent, which became a subordinate of the Dragon's Lair. Jimmy orders them to eat garbage and feces to keep the dragon's nest clean and hygienic. ”

Lu Yao almost squirted out a mouthful of water.

This is a bit excessive.

It's you, Jimmy.

"My lord, the Dragon's Lair is the most mature in the development of the Black Water Strider."

Isabel emphasizes: "The Black Water Strider was transformed by the Pasha with a dark sun and given a new mission. As long as you hold Pasha's ambergris, you can control the Darkspawn Blackwater Strider. ”

"The dwarves are already the first to use it."

"The Living Black Water Strider is a very efficient and magical tool, much more valuable than being broken down into materials."

Lu Yao interrupted her.

He had doubts.

Ambergris is the dragon's saliva. Spit it out like this, can Pasha stand it?

"My lord, in fact, ambergris is Pasha's feces......"

Got it.

It's really the same as ambergris.

In short, the Blackwater Strider invasion has been countered and exploited for a variety of purposes.

Lu Yao shifted his perspective to the Dwarven Fortress.

At this time, the dwarven crafter Hammer Hentai and two assistants are crafting a piece of equipment.

A dialog box popped up on Hammer Endless's head: "The joints of this right hand are not flexible enough, and some bones and ropes need to be added to increase the angle of movement and flexibility." ”

"And the bearing force of the right hand is not enough, it can be a little stronger, and the shell is still very load-bearing."

He grabbed one of the [Darkborn Black Water Striders] from the wooden table and aimed it at the props on the iron felt.

Black Pooled quickly stuck out his tongue and pierced holes in his metal left foot.

The dwarves then used the Black Water Strider's crushing fangs to cut off some of the metal shells of their legs and repair them.

Lu Yao understood.

This is the use of black water strider as a biological drill bit and a high-strength cutter.

Moments later, a brand-new right-hand prosthetic leg was revealed.

……

[Strong Arm (Right)] [Hammer Endless & Made by Philus]: Defense +1.

Health: 394/394

……

The buyer is actually a salt that I haven't seen for a long time.

Lu Yao clicked on his panel and found that the salt level came to LV19 and had new abilities.

……

[Fire Suit]: Surrounds itself with flames, causing a continuous flame burn to enemies.

……

There is also one more item in his history.

At the age of 101, he lost his right arm in battle against the Blackwater Striders to protect three humans.

Lu Yao felt relieved in his heart.

What was once a rebellious and paranoid young man is now a role model for many.
