Chapter 21 A Simple Trap (End)
The bait made by Wang Xiaoyu using crickets is very useful, because it has not been long since predators attracted by the red-headed cricket [Word Word].
Moreover, there were two bug hunters who entered the trap at the same time. Although they were a little surprised, Wang Xiaoyu did not get confused.
Monster: Dead Leaf Mantis (Ant)
Level: 12
Combat power: Ignore
Monster: Jungle Scorpion (Ant)
Level: 4
Combat power: 0.5
After using [Exploration Technique] to roughly check the mantis and scorpions in both directions, Wang Xiaoyu launched the [Squirt Wire Line] to shoot at the dead leaf mantis, because the giant dead leaf mantis struggled more violently than the other small scorpion. If Wang Xiaoyu did not act, it would be very likely to break free.
puff!
The thick and sticky silk thread was sprayed out of Wang Xiaoyu's mouth. This silk thread was much stronger than the silk thread used by Wang Xiaoyu's net to camouflage the pursuit of transparency. After a few breaths, the giant mantis, who was still struggling violently, was stuck to the thread and unable to move.
Wang Xiaoyu continued to aim the silk thread in his mouth at the jungle scorpion that was still struggling on the other side. The jungle scorpion was far less powerful than the giant mantis, so it was quickly controlled by Wang Xiaoyu.
Wang Xiaoyu did not wait. He crawled directly onto the unmovable body of the Dead Leaf Mantis. Not long after, he bit off the triangular head of the Dead Leaf Mantis with his claw teeth. The blood volume bar above the Dead Leaf Mantis' head was also cleared at that moment.
"Very...awesome..."
As the head of the dead-leaf mantis fell, the red-headed cricket acting as bait on the side chirped again.
"Red-headed cricket, don't make any noise!" Wang Xiaoyu said sternly to the red-headed cricket with the [Word of Insects].
But the red-headed cricket was obviously scared by Wang Xiaoyu, and soon the trembling insect chirping came out again...
"Don't...kill me..."
Wang Xiaoyu shook the insect head helplessly and activated the [Squirt Wire Line] to stick the wings on the back of the red-headed cricket again, so that the red-headed cricket could not continue to speak.
At this time, two preys have already taken the hook, and it will be dangerous if the crickets chirp again attracts other predators.
...
Wang Xiaoyu called out his system panel to view information. Killing the dead leaf mantis gave him nearly 50 leaves experience. Although its combat effectiveness is far less than that of the poison hunting spider who had the [Violute Teeth Skill] before, the experience it provides is more than twice as much as the experience of the 20 leaves of the poison hunting spider.
Wang Xiaoyu did not wonder because the experience gained in "The Realm of Heaven" is not determined only by the amount of combat power, but by the monster's comprehensive strength.
Just like a nobleman who uses legendary weapons, if he encounters a legendary sword saint with the same combat power as him, he will definitely kill him in one sword.
The same is true for spiders. Perhaps the [Venomous Tooth] that some spiders have makes their combat power comparable to the 5-point combat power of a human farmer, but ordinary humans may just step on this spider that can kill people by just a little careless.
Therefore, killing such an inflated combat power may gain more experience, but it will definitely not be much more...
...
Wang Xiaoyu crawled down from the dead leaf mantis' corpse and used saliva to clean up the silk thread stuck to his feet.
He looked at the jungle scorpion. The two sharp pliers of the jungle scorpion were firmly stuck by Wang Xiaoyu's silk thread, and its deadly weapon, the scorpion tail poison needle, was so entangled by Wang Xiaoyu that it could not move at all.
Wang Xiaoyu wriggled his body, and soon his first six claws with hooks took out a sharp stone from the dead leaves. This stone was exactly what he prepared for predators with crustaceans.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Wang Xiaoyu kept twisting the insect body and knocking on the carapace on the head of the scorpion with stones. After dozens of knocks, the carapace on the head of the jungle scorpion was finally broken by stones.
As the carapace that protected it broke, the blood volume bar on the jungle scorpion's head began to drop rapidly, and it also died.
The level 4 jungle scorpion brought Wang Xiaoyu 25 leaves experience. In terms of comprehensive strength, it is similar to the poison hunting spider on the tree before, but it is still much worse than the giant dead leaf mantis.
The jungle scorpion did not say a word [Word Word] in the end. Wang Xiaoyu probably because the scorpion's level was too low. Thinking of the many insects he encountered, Wang Xiaoyu had basically confirmed that all insects, regardless of their strength, could learn the level of [Word Word] at level 5.
He used the saliva in his mouth to dissolve the wound threads on the corpses of the giant dead leaf mantis and the jungle scorpion. Wang Xiaoyu dragged the two preys off the spider web and then began to repair the spider web. When repairing, Wang Xiaoyu no longer chose to spit out the silk thread as transparent as possible, but chose to spit out the silk thread as strong as possible, so that the defense was more firmer.
Wang Xiaoyu no longer plans to prey again tonight, and there are two reasons.
One is that there are not many silk threads in his silk bag. If there are any large insects stuck to the net, even if he can catch and kill them, the next wire weaving will not be enough. If there is no spider web made of silk thread protecting him from the outside, he is likely to fall into unknown danger.
The second is the huge corpse of the dead leaf mantis and the jungle scorpion. Even if Wang Xiaoyu has the passive skill [Quick Digestion], it is enough for Wang Xiaoyu to keep eating all night.
...
Drag the dead leaf mantis and the jungle scorpion to the center, and Wang Xiaoyu used the dead leaf and silk thread to cover it again to disguise it.
After everything was ready, Wang Xiaoyu quickly climbed into the dead leaves. His experience by killing these two insects has improved a lot. He is estimated to be able to gain experience from level 7 to level 8 through eating soon.
Wang Xiaoyu, who had eaten for a while, suddenly thought of something. He used his teeth to tear a piece of meat from the mantis' abdomen. Wang Xiaoyu twisted the insect body and crawled out of the dead leaves again, and placed the mantis meat in front of the red-headed cricket's head.
"I will not break my promise for you since I have made an agreement with you. I forgot to let you go before weaving the net, but don't worry, I will let you go tomorrow morning." Wang Xiaoyu said to the red-headed cricket.
But the red-headed cricket was trembling when he saw Wang Xiaoyu appear. Obviously, the cricket did not listen to what Wang Xiaoyu said. Wang Xiaoyu sighed in his heart. It was indeed difficult for him to communicate with ordinary insects.
He also covered a dead leaf above the red-headed cricket to disguise it, and Wang Xiaoyu retreated.
...
There were no twists and turns in the eating overnight. Wang Xiaoyu successfully rose to level 8 in about midnight by constantly eating, and his body length also grew from 16 cm to nearly 20 cm.
It takes about 250 leaves to level 8 to level 9. After eating in the second half of the night, Wang Xiaoyu's experience has successfully increased by about 50 pieces.
Wang Xiaoyu felt a little regretful, because until the morning approached, eating these two insect corpses did not allow Wang Xiaoyu to [evolve] any new skills.
On the contrary, a mosquito that accidentally hit the spider web was eaten by Wang Xiaoyu and an activateable skill of [Infrared Perception] appeared.
By activating this skill, Wang Xiaoyu can detect objects with significantly higher heat than around the surrounding area within 20 meters. If it is within a range of 3 meters, his [infrared perception] effect will be greatly enhanced. As long as you observe carefully, all things that have different temperatures from the surrounding environment will be observed by him.
