The application of the flying insect in combat is to use its short-lived amazing explosive power, combined with the iron worm wire released from its tail, to achieve actions such as flying, jumping, rapid dashing, hovering in the air, and rebounding.
The capture has not yet been achieved, so the flying insect's response should be to escape.
Logically speaking, there is no reason to have reservations at this time.
Whoosh! The high-level Poke Ball is thrown.
Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
As expected, the capture was successful.
[Flying Insect] Genderless (not named)
HP:38/41
Status: at a loss
Level:4
Strength:11
Agility:29
Intelligence:10
Skill: [Iron Worm Silk-Short] The tail of the flying insect can extend super tough iron worm silk.
The thickness of the iron worm wire will change according to the size of the fly worm.
[Bait for Growth] Flying insects have great potential for growth.
Feeding the right bait can greatly enhance attributes.
If you eat randomly, you will increase your body size uncontrollably, at the expense of flexibility, in exchange for higher strength and iron worm wire length.
Introduction: The magical insects distributed in the Yanhuo Village area.
When it grows to a certain stage, it will possess terrifying explosive power.
The tools used in Feidang Mountain and Forest were arranged around Yanhuo Village.
The meaning from the introduction is that you need to eat scientifically, so that while the flying insects can increase their strength, they should not gain excessive weight, which will affect their flexibility.
Through the introduction in the illustrated book, Li Fan analyzed that the flying insects that can participate in hunting battles should all be bred after training.
The giant flying insects are simply eaten.
If the inference is correct, then the flying insect used by the protagonist is undoubtedly a high-quality individual that has been cultivated.
Not only can it carry a heavily armored hunter with a slashing ax on his back for a short period of time, but it can also form a barrier like the Water Moon Stance that can trigger rebounds.
Forget about dragon control, every monster is different in how to tie the iron worm silk.
The ability to restrain limbs and achieve operations in a very short period of time is a bit of a dream at the moment.
And in terms of strength alone, even if the iron worm wire is tied, it seems that it is impossible to control the monster to hit the wall.
Now that the specific principle is clear, what should we feed the flying insects?
You’ll know if you try it!
After making up his mind, Li Fan took out an atlas specifically introducing the ecology around Yanhuo Village.
Net-cut dragonfly, 100-eye butterfly, fire butterfly, white butterfly, recovery honey bug, poisonous gas frog
Li Fan introduced all the things that might have beneficial effects when fed to flying insects.
"In order to improve efficiency, we will capture them separately. Are there any other questions?"
Before starting the capture, Li Fan asked tentatively.
"I would like to ask whether creatures such as yeast rabbits, windlass snakes, water chestnut worms, and thread puppet spiders are obviously not edible by flying insects, right?"
Eudora asked.
"Yes, even smaller environmental creatures cannot be hunted by flying insects, but perhaps it is precisely because they cannot be hunted that they have not been able to cultivate high-quality animals that can participate in battles under natural circumstances.
Come individually.”
Li Fan expressed his opinion.
The large flying insects can be arranged so widely that in-depth research is essential.
So the team is definitely not the first to study flying insects.
If there were naturally outstanding individuals, they should have been taken seriously long ago.
"You are saying that the flying insect has the potential to reach a powerful level in theory, but due to its own weakness and hunting habits, this possibility has been cut off."
Eudora speculated.
"That's what it means, so we need to catch enough flying insects of moderate size, as well as various potential organisms that can breed flying insects, and find out the best way to cultivate high-quality individuals through no-feeding experiments."
"I saw it right"
"ah?"
"Let's go! Let's go!"
After Eudora finished speaking, she grabbed two insect nets and set off quickly.
"I'm leaving too, meow."
Di Lu carried the smaller insect catching net and ran out on Sunny Sky.
"Meet here before dark! Don't forget!"
Li Fan shouted loudly, rode on Can Guan, and rushed into the forest.
As the sun set, Li Fan kept going up the hillside and harvested a lot today. In addition to 10 flying insects, he also caught more than 20 various insects and small creatures.
The only thing that's a little depressing is that I've had enough of the barking of the Weasel Dragon.
Whoosh! As the insect net swung, a thread puppet spider entered the net.
Li Fan loaded it into the cage on his back and continued walking for a while when a dilapidated temple appeared in front of him.
At the entrance of the temple, two door panels lay horizontally in the soil, and the wall was covered with green moss and wild vines.
After Li Fan finished speaking, he marked it on the map.
Gu Guan stared at the abandoned temple and backed away slowly. After reaching a certain distance, he turned around and started running wildly.
In the evening, the team reunited by the river to tally today's results.
Eudora caught 15 flying insects by herself.
Di Lu caught 8 and Li Fan caught 10, totaling 33 in total.
As for other creatures in the ecological atlas, the team caught a total of 64.
After sorting, Eudora and Dilu, who had been running around for a day, didn't even have time to take off their armor and fell asleep in a tent by the river.
Li Fan was also very tired, but he still managed to finish the task of putting the ball in and numbering it.
"Yeye, this is the outer area of the Abandoned Shrine. There should be no danger. If there is a Kamaita dragon or something approaching, try to kill it silently. I'm going to rest."
Li Fan stretched himself and walked into the tent.
Gu Gu! After Ye Ye responded, he found a small tree and stepped on the branch.
The branch was bent to the ground without any surprise, but Ye Ye didn't care.
The team got up at seven o'clock the next day.
After breakfast, Eudora and Dilu continued to hunt deep into the forest.
Li Fan started the cultivation test.
The method is to judge the effect by feeding different creatures and observing the changes in attributes and characteristics displayed on the handheld device.
"Eat, why don't you eat."
There were actually people on hunger strike in the cage, and Li Fan was helpless.
However, thinking that these creatures were not food for flying insects before, and might even be natural enemies, Li Fan had no choice but to kill them with a hunter's knife.
Grind it into powder before feeding.
In the afternoon, the first batch of feeding results came out.
Among them, 5 flies went on a hunger strike, and 6 gained weight visibly to the naked eye after eating meat.
There was no change in the attributes of 11 animals, and there was a regression in attributes in 4 animals.
8 only showed a rapid increase in attributes.
Li Fan summarized these 8 improvements.
The three flying insects fed to the Fire Butterflies all gained increased strength.
And the magnitude is huge, one directly adds 5 points at most.
Of the three that fed the Pandanus, only one gained 1 point of agility.
Li Fan speculated that the improvement of the other two might be too small and not enough to be reflected numerically.
The two spiders that fed the thread puppets both developed the characteristic [Worm Silk Toughness 1], and the effect was that the silk strength increased.
In the evening, Li Fan informed him of the research results and said that tomorrow he would only capture fire butterflies and thread puppet spiders, two insects.
As for the remaining creatures, except for the two flying insects that gained weight the fastest, and Li Fan planned to cultivate them into giant flying insects, they were all released.
In the next ten days, the team continued to capture fire butterflies and thread puppet spiders in the wild, and fed 8 flying insects.
When the power of Flying Insect No. 6 increases to 89 points, the prompt of rapid increase in attributes disappears.
The next day, when the strength of the flying insect No. 27 reached 91 points, the same situation occurred.
On the third day, all remaining 6 strength enhancements stopped.
Li Fan speculated that this should be the limit of strength for this body type.
As for [Worm Thread Toughness], it reached level 15 a week ago and no longer increases.
The thread puppet spider had no effect other than helping it gain weight, so feeding was stopped.
In terms of practical effects, the first flying insect whose strength reaches 50 points can carry a fully equipped Eudora without any pressure and stay in the air for about 8 seconds.
When it reaches 75 points, it can drive Eudora to leap forward on the same spot.
Although the distance and height are incomparable to those of large flying insects, high-quality individuals excel in mobility, controllability, and most importantly, the ability to carry them with you.
Late at night, Li Fan was lying on the bed, looking at a bunch of green flying insects on the roof of the tent, feeling that it was time to go to Yanhuo Village to build an insect box.
This is used by hunters who use insect sticks to store hunting insects.
No one has developed special parts for flying insects yet, so we can only take a closer look at this first.
"Li Fan?"
"Um."
"Did there once be a large town here?"
Eudora asked.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just caught insects these days and found many large-scale ruins."
Eudora explained.
"Wind Shenlong and Thunder Shenlong did it."
"Ah! You really know the inside story."
Eudora stood up suddenly.
"I don't know much. The shrine on the mountain seemed to be dedicated to some kind of monster at first. Then the Thunder Dragon came, all the monsters were driven away, and humans were forced to move away. Then the Wind Dragon also came, and these two ancient dragons
They rushed back and forth, forming a night parade of hundreds of dragons, and all nearby towns were deserted."
"Well, it's hard to understand."
"Anyway, just foresee that Gu Long will be up to no good."
The next afternoon, the team returned to Yanhuo Village.
"There are three independent storage spaces, a feeding trough, and a worm box with a wrist strap?"
Upon hearing Li Fan's request, the owner of the blacksmith shop, Dao Wen, frowned slightly.
"Well, each compartment can accommodate only one flying insect. It doesn't need to be as big as a hunting insect."
"Okay, I'll try my best. If possible, it can be made into an embedded design. That way the fixation with the hand guard will be more reliable and the appearance will not be too bulky."
Dao Wen accepted Li Fan's improvement request.
At dusk, a large roller cart pulled by three Bobo came to the entrance of the village.
Samantabhadra, who had just finished feeding the ninja dog, looked back and saw the corpse of Zhanlong in the car. He was particularly surprised.
The arrival of the rare corpse of a slain dragon was already surprising, but it was also said that it was delivered so quietly.
Generally, if a team of hunters actually hunted the Dragon Slayer, they would have to return to the village to inform them first, even if it would be a long time before the body was delivered.
The most outrageous thing is that there are no witness reports of dragon slaying within the jurisdiction of Yanhuo Village!
"Come out and watch the dragon slay!!!"
A child with a loud voice ran to the entrance of the village shouting, and many hunters and villagers gathered around him.
With his eyelids downcast and his body covered in dust, the leader of the Meru Cat stumbled into the village with the contract in hand.
Just when he was about to faint, a pair of hands grabbed him.
"It's so nice of you, meow."
The leader of the Melu Cat tilted his head and fainted in Li Fan's arms.
In the evening, inside the hotel.
The leader of the Melu Cats lowered his head at the table and ate fiercely. Dilu saw that the plate was bottomed out and pushed his share over.
Dang! Dang! Dang!
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Li Fan saw that it was the head of Puxian Village and invited him into the house.
"There is no need to worry. Equipment does not matter where it comes from, and materials do not matter where they come from. This is the rule we have always abided by in Yanhuo Village. The Dragon-Slaying Processor has already started processing it. The large roller cart covered with ice crystals is stored at the Chamber of Commerce and can be used at any time.
Take it away.”
Puxian informed.
"Thank you very much, village chief."
"Your team hunted a slaying dragon in the jurisdiction of Yanhuo Village. It was a major contribution to regional security. I should thank you. How about going to the guild for certification when you have time?"
"OK."
"Huh~ Now there is one more five-star monster to hunt in Yanhuo Village."
Pu Xian was very happy.
"Village Chief, I want to ask you something?"
"Just ask."
"Is there a sword in Yanhuo Village that can create three air blades with one sword?"
"have."
"real?"
Li Fan was very surprised.
"It's just in legends."
"ah?"
"Wait a moment."
After Pu Xian finished speaking, he left quickly and returned to the house after a while with a scroll.
Remove the dinner plate and spread the scroll on the table.
Li Fan saw a hunter painted in an ink-wash style, holding a weapon similar to a tachi, swinging it horizontally while lunging forward.
The air blade, outlined in ink, surrounds the body in a ring shape and is divided into three strands: upper, left and right.
"It is impossible to verify who is painted on it. I only know that the sword technique is called March, and it has been lost for a long time. It has become one of the top ten legends of Yanhuo Village."
Puxian explained.
I'm going to learn this like a chicken.
Li Fan was also speechless.
After the special sword attack in Rise successfully triggers the rebound, the air blade will be divided into three strands and concentrated on one point to strike.
The characteristics of this move are unique. Li Fan believes that as long as he finds someone who can release it, it will be easy to learn how to use the special sword.
Who would have thought that it was lost in the place where it originated. If you really can't learn it, only the New World can learn the one-stroke Iai Slash.
Li Fan reluctantly continued to look for clues on the scroll.
After watching for a moment, he stretched out his hand to block the man holding the knife, and found that the background outline looked familiar.
Is this the abandoned shrine?
Since the equipment production took about half a month, the team set out again to the wild the next day.
Before the custom-made insect box on the gauntlet was finished, the team used the side-carrying insect box to practice cooperating with flying insects.
The first three days are basic retracting and releasing exercises. Once you are proficient in using the flying insect, you will try the iron insect silk air blade slash, flying insect kick, and water moon stance.
Eudora didn't know what the Iron Worm Silk Technique was, but since she had already had the idea of leaping up and attacking in her mind, she practiced it very vigorously.
Dilu used flying insects to practice high-altitude throwing of various props.
On the eighth day, Li Fan said he wanted to explore the abandoned shrine.
"Didn't you say that there is a high possibility that the Resentful Tiger Dragon is inside?"
Eudora asked puzzledly.
When he first entered the Feishen Community area, Li Fan emphasized that if he saw the Resentful Tiger Dragon, he would run away as soon as possible.
"I want to go in and look for some clues. Everything will be fine."
"Zhanzhan is still casting his tail in the ancient forest. I always feel that it would be dangerous to go there rashly."
Dilu said worriedly.
"Don't worry, you guys, hunt more food and wait for me to come back to eat."
After Li Fan finished speaking, he set off on his way.
The little fool soared straight into the sky, and within half an hour he reached the sky above the abandoned shrine.
After using a telescope to familiarize himself with the terrain along the way and confirming that there was no trace of the Tiger Dragon, Li Fan made an extremely bold attempt.
He stood up from the dragon's back and jumped off.
When he was about a hundred meters away from the ground, he raised his hand and released Flying Insect No. 1, Liu Neng.
Sga!
Grasping the iron worm thread glowing with green light, Li Fan's body hung in mid-air.
"Huh~ It seems a little high, Zhao Si, it's your turn."
Li Fan said as he waved his hand downwards and released Flying Insect No. 2 Zhao Si.
Whoosh! The flying insect flaps its wings smoothly and hovers.
Li Fan let go of one hand and fell down to complete the alternation. At this time, No. 1 flying insect Liu Nengfei returned to the insect box.
Yes, with this rhythm, three flying insects are used alternately, which can basically guarantee that there will be no exhausted flying insects.
Li Fan lowered his hand and raised his hand again, and Xie Guangkun, the flying insect No. 3, flew out.
After the two cycles alternated, Li Fan let go of the iron worm thread and gently fell into the courtyard of the shrine.
After walking slowly in the courtyard covered with weeds for a while, I crossed a small log bridge and saw two abandoned palaces in front of me.
Li Fan hid behind a stone lantern, opened the elf ball, and released a large flying insect for deployment.
"Don't worry, the Tiger Dragon doesn't eat insects. If you are really in danger soon, I will escape first and come back to retrieve you when I have a chance."
As Li Fan spoke, he stuffed a meatball into the mouthparts of the big flying insect.
Then he leaned out of the stone lantern, and while releasing the light bulb, he slowly walked towards the dark hall.
Wooden boxes covered with cobwebs and several broken statues that fell to the ground are all the items in the square hall.
It's so clean, I'm afraid it has been searched countless times.
After Li Fan exited slowly, he quietly came to the hall next to it. The visual area here was not large, but there was a row of multi-layered containers placed on the inner wall.
Huh~huh~
Li Fan blew the dust on it and started rummaging around.
