Chapter 11: Dung beetles
After checking the various information of the dung beetle, Xu Yue was not surprised by its powerful attributes, in a sense, insects are the most powerful biological group in nature.
They are the most abundant animals in the world, with a large number and different forms, and there are even more than 1 million known species.
With such a large base, many insect species with various BUG-level abilities have been born.
For example, at the moment, this dung beetle, which can only lift 1,141 times its own weight, its strength is terrifying, and the limit of human strength is about 5 times its own weight.
The most powerful creatures in nature, the top three are all covered by insects, the first is the beetle mite, its pulling force is 1180 times its own weight, which is equivalent to an adult human pulling 82 tons of weight, the second place is the dung beetle, and the third place is the leaf-cutting ant, which is the ant population we are most familiar with.
In addition to its strength, there is also the 'most jumping creature', which can be compared to an adult human's leap to a 210-meter tall building, followed by the common flea, which can jump as easily as a human over an entire football field.
and the praying mantis, known as the 'super killer of nature', its attack speed is 10 times the speed of human blinking, and it can launch 30 attacks per second, while an insect called the bigtooth fierce ant can reach 0.13 milliseconds, which is equivalent to 2300 times the speed of human blinking, and it is too late to react.
These are just the tip of the iceberg of the strange abilities of the insect world, there are too many creatures with extremely terrifying abilities in this group, but the small size limits their play, there is a saying that insects are invincible in the same volume, although some are too extreme, but it is not unreasonable.
Of course, according to common sense, it is impossible to have giant insects in the real world, after all, the unique body structure makes them strong, but also makes them unable to bear the load brought by the enlargement of the body, and the 21% oxygen content in nature cannot meet the basic needs of these giant insects to survive.
But the mysterious island he is on now is obviously different, the magnification effect of the mysterious factor allows the insects that should be small to break through the limitations of their size, coupled with the living environment that is enough to accommodate them, on this island, the strength of insects will be truly released.
Thinking of this, Xu Yue had a clearer understanding of the difficulty of this survival trial, the insects that could be trampled to death at will in the past may now become the top predators who can easily harvest their own lives, and the number of such predators is estimated to be not a few.
After figuring out his situation, he reined in his diffuse thoughts, put away the Manifestation Eye that flew back, and looked back at the dung beetle that was rolling away below, his eyes flickering slightly.
Most of the time, crises are often pregnant with opportunities, and the strange creatures on the mysterious island are undoubtedly opportunities for him and Ah Fu, especially for Ah Fu, once the dung beetle below is puppeted, it is equivalent to directly obtaining a summoned beast at the top of the first order.
The opponent's ultimate strength can reach the level of 52 points, which has broken through the limit of the first order, although there is no unique attack skill, but this extremely strong strength is enough to cover up all flaws.
The only problem is that the huge dung ball that the other party is pushing now makes him a little disgusted, and it is hard to imagine what kind of mentality the ancient Egyptians had in the first place to call this thing a scarab.
Showing the specific attributes of the dung beetle to Ah Fu on the side, Xu Yue asked silently:
"This dung beetle has strong attributes and abilities, it depends on whether you want to puppetize it or not."
After seeing the strong attributes of the dung beetle, Ah Fu's eyes lit up at first, but when he looked down at the dung ball pushed by the other party, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes.
After a few breaths, seeing that the dung beetles below were about to leave the field of vision, he still gritted his teeth and nodded:
"I'm sorry, bother, sir."
To put it bluntly, in the place of reincarnation paradise, strength is more important than face, isn't it just a shell, from another point of view, this thing's ability to push dung balls is still quite strong, at least disgusting enough.
Anyway, Xu Yue can take the steel ball of the same volume, but when facing this dung ball, he can only flee in a hurry, and he doesn't dare to connect it hard.
"Okay, keep up!"
After receiving Ah Fu's affirmative reply, Xu Yue no longer hesitated, and jumped towards the direction where the dung beetle was advancing, and the squirrel carrying Ah Fu hurriedly followed.
On the upper layer of the dense forest, two figures, one black and one red, jumped on each branch one after another, until they reached the target directly above, and Xu Yue stopped.
Standing firmly on a thick branch, he stared at the swarthy insect beast below, took out the 'burst wrench' from his backpack and put it on, a huge crimson longbow quietly appeared in his hand.
As the bowstring was slowly pulled apart, the brilliant golden gems set in the bow arm glowed red, and a long arrow of pure light gathered between the bow arm and the bowstring solidified.
The golden red flames swirled around the long arrow, and the pale wrench on the thumb emitted a faint blood glow, and the string was released, and the arrow came out.
There was a faint sound of breaking the void in his ears, and a beam of fire cut through the void, and in an instant, it sank into the huge dung ball below.
"Bang!"
The arrow detonated inside, and the hard dung ball several meters high exploded, scattering countless irregular fragments burning with golden red flames, and after a few moments, the flames burned out, leaving only black ash in its place.

Introduction: The forest is dark and the grass is frightened, and the general draws the bow at night; Ping Ming looked for the white feather, but he was not in the stone ridge.
………
The recast Howling Cloud Bow got rid of the dependence on conventional arrows, and increased the flight speed of the arrows to the extreme, with the multiple blessings of the 'Swift Light' feature and various blade closing effects, the speed of the arrows shot by Xu Yue can be called chasing the wind and lightning, and the accuracy is extremely high, almost impossible to dodge.
Coupled with the natural compatibility of the 'Burst Wrench' and Energy Arrows, as well as the damage amplification of the Master of Archery (LV.2), his ranged ability is definitely at the top of the first tier.
Dealing with this bulky guy with only 23 agility attributes, with only the longbow in his hand, he can shoot the opponent alive, even if the dung beetle's strength attribute can reach an exaggerated 52 points, but it is still useless to hit people after all.
However, Xu Yue did not attack to kill the enemy, but to capture them alive and puppetize them, so after destroying the dung ball in the way with one arrow, he retracted the longbow into his body and quietly watched the dung beetle behemoth the size of a small car below.
On the ground, as the dung ball burst as it was pushing, the dung beetle only felt empty behind it, and when it adjusted its body and looked, the dung ball it had worked so hard to collect all morning had disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the black ash in front of it, its eyeballs on both sides of its skull quickly turned red, and as it grew in size, it was a particularly painstaking task to collect enough feces, but now it was all in vain in an instant.
