Players' NPC boss

The body of the Golden Violent Cicada stiffened, and its huge body detached from the Tree of Life and fell down.

But this insect monster did not die. In the special mission about the [Hunter] that Blaze heard, the stranger emphasized the abominable mechanism of the insect species after sucking the sap of the Tree of Life - [Shedding].

It is similar to the molting skill of snakes, but the difference is that snakes make their bodies larger by shedding, and sometimes they also use the molting skill to greatly restore their health.

The molting skill of insect species should be described as evolution. Each molting can complete a change in life form, and the sap of the Tree of Life provides these insect species with an opportunity to molt when they are dying.

The huge body of the Golden Violent Cicada twitched when it fell to the ground, and huge cracks cracked around along the charred hole left by Blaze. A giant khaki insect broke out of its shell and made a headache-inducing buzzing sound towards Blaze and the elf elder Kanris.

"It has become a juvenile form." The elf elder Kanris took off the longbow behind him, his face solemn.

Guarding the Tree of Life, the elves finally showed the nobleness and dignity of the legend.

"Juvenile form." Blaze pondered.

Most life forms are extremely fragile in their juvenile form, and the more they grow, the stronger they become. However, many insect species are completely opposite. Their adult forms are Buddhist and peaceful, but their juvenile forms are extremely aggressive and ferocious.

From the appearance, the attack organs of the adult form of the golden violent cicada are probably the mouthparts and the huge body, and at most one sonic attack. But after molting and turning back into a juvenile form, it adds a huge digging foreleg that can throw away the soil, which looks very scary.

This is just the influence of the powerful vitality of the sap of the Tree of Life. If it comes into contact with the blood of the evil god, who knows what the insect monster will become.

While Blaze was thinking, the golden violent cicada had already rushed over like a violent wild boar, with a huge momentum. Not to mention the front feet used for digging, if it is hit by the mouthparts that suck juice, it is estimated that it will be severely drained of blood.

Blaze does not want to know what will happen to the silver blood in his body after the insect species sucks it.

Blaze rolled and dodged quickly, and took out a piece of metal ore from the warehouse. After using [Projectile Production] to hold it tightly, a hot, smoking projectile was formed.

Although the raw material is just ordinary copper, the pattern of the silver lion engraved on it makes the projectile look much more luxurious.

[Bullet engraved with the pattern of the great lion]

[The unique silver lion flower carving on it is the unique mark of the maker. The lion pattern can slightly increase the hardness of the bullet and has a very low probability of penetrating magic or prayer. ]

Blaze has not studied the [Gunner] profession well, so he chose [Misttin Hunting] to launch. It is not cost-effective to charge in a place not covered by the moon, so Blaze chose instant shooting and used dragon fire to push the projectile.

Facing the violently charged Golden Cicada, Blaze closed his eyes and pulled the trigger.

Unlike the silent charge, the instantaneous firing, the muzzle of [Misttin] emitted a fierce dragon roar, and while the thick smoke billowed, the silver lion bullet mixed with flowing light penetrated straight into the mouthparts of the Golden Cicada and entered the Golden Cicada's skull.

The Golden Cicada's body twitched, and the sprinting posture turned into a messy roll.

"You are so accurate!" The chicken cheered for Blaze in the sky.

"It's not me who is accurate, it's the skill that is accurate."

[Blind Eyes], as long as you close your eyes or keep your eyes covered, you can improve the accuracy of throwing attacks. However, the gun attack is actually considered a throwing attack, which is also quite rare.

Blaze put away [Misttin] and rushed straight towards the Golden Cicada. He saw the Golden Violent Cicada waving its two front legs in a warning gesture. This guy was going to use [Escape].

[Escape]

[Increase your dodge rate and speed to escape more easily]

If the Golden Violent Cicada used some other skills, Blaze would not be able to respond immediately because it was the first time he saw it. But Blaze had seen [Escape] a lot. In the past, the stranger often used this skill to escape from the pursuit of the city guard knights.

Speaking of the larvae of cicada monsters, the only place they can escape is underground. Blaze has no way to catch up underground, so he must destroy the Golden Violent Cicada before it successfully escapes.

Blaze put away [Misttin], picked up the twisted greatsword and rushed forward. With a new partner, he can't forget his old friend.

After getting close, the huge Golden Violent Cicada turned into a piece of meat that can be slaughtered at will. Perhaps for others, the Golden Violent Cicada's tightly sealed shell is very difficult to deal with, but for Blaze, it is no different from tofu.

[Leo Derivation - Lion Slash]

The twisted sword easily penetrated the abdomen of the Golden Violent Cicada, accurately piercing the internal organs used by the Golden Violent Cicada to create sonic attacks.

"Insect shells are also good forging materials?"

Blazer released the twisted sword, opened his five fingers to simulate the posture of a beast's claws, and swung and cut along the shell of the Golden Violent Cicada. In an instant, the Golden Violent Cicada was dismembered and fell to the ground, twitching and turning into dust and disappearing.

In addition to the materials that were peeled off during the battle, what materials the monster would drop when it turned into dust and disappeared depends on the monster's own ideas.

To be honest, most monsters will not look at the person who kills it well, so the probability of dropping materials is quite low. However, Blaze has the title of [Hero Candidate], which can increase the probability of dropping materials.

Blaze has already stripped off a lot of golden violent cicada shells in the battle. But forging is extremely consumable, and the more forging materials, the better.

But Blaze forgot that [Hero Candidate] has another function besides increasing the probability of dropping materials. That is to increase the probability of rare monsters appearing.

In fact, increasing the probability of rare monsters is not out of thin air, but has a reason. You can't expect to encounter rare monsters in the sky after using the effect of increasing the probability of monsters appearing in the sea.

To describe it with Nemean lions, female lions are rare monsters that will appear randomly around the Nemean Forest. After increasing the probability of encountering rare monsters, it will be easier to encounter female lions around the Nemean Forest. And Nemean male lions are even rarer monsters, and they will appear only after a certain number of female lions are killed.

Blaze was in a place full of strong vitality, and the enemies he eliminated were insects with extremely high reproductive capacity, so after increasing the probability of encountering rare monsters...

Boom--

Blaze felt the vibration under his feet and jumped back suddenly. A huge golden violent cicada larva broke out of the ground where Blaze just stood.

Then dozens of larvae drilled out of the soil one after another, and a huge crack appeared behind them, and golden flesh slowly squeezed out of the crack.
