Crazy evolution bug

Chapter 21 Simple Trap (End)

Wang Xiaoyu's bait made with crickets worked very well, because it didn't take long for predators attracted by the red-headed cricket [Insect Language] to come to his door.

Moreover, there were two bug hunters who entered the trap at the same time. Although it was a little unexpected, Wang Xiaoyu didn't mess up his hands and feet because of this.

Monster: Dead Leaf Praying Mantis (Ant)

Rating: 12
Combat power: negligible
Monster: Jungle Scorpion (Ant)
Rating: 4
Combat Strength: 0.5
After roughly inspecting the praying mantis and scorpion in two directions with [Exploration Technique], Wang Xiaoyu activated [Jet Silk Thread] to shoot at the dead leaf mantis, because the giant dead leaf mantis was struggling compared to the smaller scorpion. If Wang Xiaoyu doesn't take action, it is likely to break free.

puff!
Thick and viscous silk threads spewed out from Wang Xiaoyu's mouth. This kind of thread was far stronger than the silk threads used by Wang Xiaoyu for camouflage in pursuit of transparency. The thread was so sticky that I couldn't move it.

Wang Xiaoyu continued to point the silk thread in his mouth at the struggling jungle scorpion on the other side. This jungle scorpion was far less powerful than the giant praying mantis, so it was quickly controlled by Wang Xiaoyu.

Wang Xiaoyu didn't wait, he climbed directly onto the dead leaf mantis's immobile body, and it didn't take long for him to bite off the triangular head of the withered leaf mantis with his fangs, and the blood bar on the top of the withered leaf mantis' head was also emptied at that moment.

"Amazing……"

As the head of the dead leaf praying mantis fell, the red-headed cricket that served as a bait chirped again.

"Red-headed cricket, don't make any noise!" Wang Xiaoyu sternly said to the red-headed cricket in [Insect Language].

But the red-headed cricket was obviously frightened by Wang Xiaoyu, and soon the trembling insect sound came out again...

"Do not kill me……"

Wang Xiaoyu shook the insect's head helplessly, and activated [Jet Silk Thread] to stick the wings on the red-headed cricket's back again, so that the red-headed cricket could not continue to make sounds.

At this time, two prey have been hooked, and it would be bad if the cricket's chirping attracted other predators again.

……

Wang Xiaoyu called out his system panel to check the information. Killing the withered leaf mantis brought him nearly 50 leaf experience. Although its combat power was far inferior to the poisonous spider with the [Venomous Fang Skill] before, the experience it provided was more than 20 leaves. More than twice the experience of the poisonous spider's [-] leaves.

Wang Xiaoyu was not puzzled by this, because gaining experience in "Sky Domain" does not depend solely on the amount of combat power, but on the overall strength of the monsters.

Just like a noble who uses a legendary weapon, meeting a legendary Juggernaut with the same combat power rating as him is definitely a one-shot kill.

The same is true for spiders, maybe some spiders have [venomous fangs] that make their combat power comparable to that of a human farmer's 5 points of combat power, but ordinary humans may trample to death this kind of spider that can kill people just a little bit carelessly up.

Therefore, killing such an existence with inflated combat power may give you more experience, but definitely not too much...

……

Wang Xiaoyu climbed down from the corpse of the dead leaf mantis, and cleaned the silk thread sticking to his feet with his saliva.

Looking at the jungle scorpion, the two sharp pincers of the jungle scorpion have been firmly stuck by Wang Xiaoyu's silk thread, and its deadly weapon, the scorpion tail poisonous needle, has been entangled by Wang Xiaoyu so that it cannot move at all.

Wang Xiaoyu squirmed his body, and soon his first six claws with barbs pulled out a sharp stone from the dead leaves. This stone was exactly what he had prepared for the predators with crustaceans.

boom!
boom!
boom!
Wang Xiaoyu kept twisting the worm's body and hitting the carapace of the scorpion's head with stones. After dozens of times of beating, the carapace of the forest scorpion's head was finally crushed by the stones.

As the carapace protecting it shattered, the health bar on the jungle scorpion's head also began to drop rapidly, and it died as a result.

The level 4 jungle scorpion brought Wang Xiaoyu the experience of 25 leaves. In terms of overall strength, it is similar to the poisonous spider on the tree before, but it is still a lot worse than the giant dead leaf mantis.

This jungle scorpion didn't say a word of "Insect Language" until the end. Wang Xiaoyu guessed that the level of this scorpion was too low. Thinking of the many insects he encountered, Wang Xiaoyu has basically determined that all insects, no matter how strong or weak, can learn The level of [Insect Language] is level 5.

Using the saliva in his mouth to dissolve the entangled silk threads on the corpses of the giant dead leaf mantis and the jungle scorpion, Wang Xiaoyu dragged the two prey off the spider web, and then began to repair the spider web. When repairing, Wang Xiaoyu did not choose to spit out as transparent as possible. Instead of silk threads, choose to spit out silk threads that are as strong as possible, so that the defense will be stronger.

Wang Xiaoyu no longer intends to hunt again tonight, and there are two reasons for this.

One is that there are not many silk threads in his silk sacs. If there are more large insects stuck to the net, even if he can catch and kill them, there will not be enough silk threads for the next weaving net. The spider web protects him from the outside, and he is likely to fall into unknown dangers.

The second is the huge corpses 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.

……

Dragging the corpses of the dead leaf mantis and the jungle scorpion to the center, Wang Xiaoyu used dead leaves and silk threads to cover them again for camouflage.

After all the preparations were completed, Wang Xiaoyu also quickly climbed into the dead leaves. His experience has been improved a lot by killing these two bugs, and it is estimated that he will soon be able to gain experience from level 7 to level 8 through eating.

After eating for a while, Wang Xiaoyu suddenly thought of something. He tore a piece of flesh from the belly of the praying mantis with his fangs. Holding the meat in his mouth, Wang Xiaoyu twisted the insect's body and crawled out from the dead leaves again. The front of the head of a red-headed cricket.

"For your reward, since I have already made an agreement with you, I will not break my promise. I forgot to let you go before weaving the net just now, but don't worry, I will definitely let you go tomorrow morning." Wang Xiaoyu said to the red-headed cricket .

But the red-headed cricket trembled all the time when he saw Wang Xiaoyu appearing. Obviously, the cricket didn't listen to what Wang Xiaoyu said. Wang Xiaoyu sighed in his heart. It was really difficult for him to communicate with ordinary insects.

Covering the top of the red-headed cricket with a dead leaf for camouflage, Wang Xiaoyu retreated.

……

Eating all night without any twists and turns, Wang Xiaoyu successfully rose to level 8 around midnight through continuous eating, and his body length grew from 16 cm to nearly 20 cm.

Upgrading from level 8 to level 9 requires about 250 leaves of experience. After eating in the second half of the night, Wang Xiaoyu's experience has successfully increased by about 50 leaves.

It made Wang Xiaoyu feel a little pity, because eating these two insect corpses did not make Wang Xiaoyu [evolve] any new skills until the early morning.

On the contrary, a [Infrared Sensing] activatable skill appeared after a mosquito that accidentally bumped into a spider web was eaten by Wang Xiaoyu.

By activating this skill, Wang Xiaoyu can detect objects within 20 meters with significantly higher heat than the surroundings, and if within 3 meters, his [Infrared Perception] effect will be greatly enhanced. Everything will be observed by him.
