In the dilapidated and desolate square, there were densely packed insect swarms with no end as far as the eye could see.
Standing on an isolated wall, Lin Ze looked over and was slightly startled by the number of insects.
"At least a thousand of them!"
He glanced back and forth among the swarm of insects, and as expected, he discovered a dozen steel soldier insects that were even larger in size and comparable to buffaloes, and they were probably the elite individuals among them.
However, no suspected existence of the Steel Soldier King Insect was found.
"That's right. If there are Steel Soldier King Insects in the square, the number of insect beasts will definitely be more than a thousand!"
After collecting the information he wanted, Lin Ze no longer delayed and quickly jumped off the wall, preparing for action.
He did not rush to the square rashly, which was no different from seeking death. Instead, he planned to look for the lone Steel Soldier Bug like he just did, and then let the latter call his companions. He only needed to find the battle location in advance.
.
There were quite a few lone Steel Soldier Insects around the square, and Lin Ze quickly found one, and when it raised its head and screamed for its companions, he killed it with a single blow.
The battle location was still chosen in a complex terrain lined with rocks, which was conducive for him to deal with the insect swarms and defeat them one by one.
The call of the Steel Soldier Insects summoned thirty or forty companions. Relying on the favorable terrain, it only took Lin Ze about ten minutes to successfully wipe out the insect swarm.
He rested on the spot for a while, ate some dry food and water, and after recovering his physical strength, he continued to use the lone Steel Soldier Insect to lure the insect swarm, and then hunted again. When the sky turned dark, the Steel Soldier died under his hands.
There are more than 200 insects.
‘White knife 2.26% (steel 2.26%)’
After absorbing a large amount of soul energy, the white knife has become more and more silvery and dazzling, exuding a dazzling metallic luster under the sun, and its sharpness has also become higher. This is especially obvious in the battle. The white knife breaks through the steel soldiers.
The insect's carapace is getting easier and easier.
"This is probably the effect of the increase in steel attribute soul energy." Lin Ze's eyes shone slightly.
As the progress of the Soul Knife's casting progresses, the White Knife will gradually show special abilities. At present, it only absorbs the steel attribute soul energy. After absorbing the high temperature and fire attribute soul energy, the White Knife may be able to attack when it attacks.
Comes with fire damage.
Thinking of that scene, Lin Ze felt a little expectant in his heart.
On the other hand, the battle with the Steel Soldier Insect also allowed him to achieve an achievement, 'Insect Beast Hunter I', which awarded him 10 points.
Lin Ze recalled the time when he got the achievement prompt. At that time, he seemed to have killed almost 100 steel soldier bugs. It seemed that the condition for achieving this achievement was to kill 100 bug beasts.
And just like 'Society Destroyer i', it can be seen from the name that it belongs to a certain achievement series.
"I just don't know how many heads I need to kill to achieve the next achievement, 1,000?" Lin Ze whispered to himself.
The danger factor of the night battle rose sharply. After taking out the last batch of insect cores, Lin Ze turned away from the square, found a half-collapsed building, moved a stone to block the exit, and created a temporary closed camp. After eating
After eating dry food, he began to rest with his eyes closed.
Since he was in the wild, Lin Ze did not dare to sleep too deeply and had to maintain a certain level of vigilance. However, the consequence of this was that any movement, even the neighing of insects and beasts in the distance, could wake him up instantly.
After finally staying up until dawn, Lin Ze's spirit was already a little sluggish and his face looked slightly tired.
After all, I have never had a similar experience of spending the night in the wild. The skill of staying alert and sleeping cannot be mastered in a short time. Fortunately, Lin Ze has strong physical fitness. Otherwise, if it were another newcomer, he would probably have to do it in a day or two.
I can't bear to go back to the settlement.
However, newcomers are usually led by senior swordsmiths. If the two of them take turns keeping watch, there is no risk that they will not get enough rest.
"Every gain must come with a loss."
With a sigh, Lin Ze finished his breakfast, got up and rushed towards the square where he was yesterday, preparing to continue hunting the steel soldier bugs.
Compared with yesterday, the number of Steel Soldier Bugs in the square was significantly smaller. However, these guys with low intelligence were not aware of the abnormality at all. They were still lying lazily on the ground, and their sharp feet were scratching at will on the ground, plowing out cuts.
.
Unless they are hungry, these steel soldier bugs will get up and go out in search of food.
Lin Ze observed for a while, and suddenly saw a significantly larger elite steel soldier in the distance suddenly stood up unsteadily, left the square and walked towards him.
Upon seeing this, Lin Ze was immediately overjoyed. He quickly jumped off the wall and hurried forward. It didn't take long before he saw the elite steel soldier insect.
The elite steel soldier insect also discovered the existence of Lin Ze, and his scarlet eyes suddenly burst out with a cruel look. The original lazy state disappeared and was replaced by a violent and ferocious aura.
This huge and terrifying monster opened its pincers excitedly, and rushed toward Lin Ze like a charging chariot.
Lin Ze had already condensed his Dao Gang in advance. Seeing this, he kicked off his feet and rushed forward, heading towards the Elite Steel Soldier Insect.
Just when the two sides were about to collide head-on, Lin Ze suddenly turned sideways, barely avoiding the collision of the elite steel soldier bugs, and at the same time, with a flash of his sword, a huge pincer shot up into the sky.
The Elite Steel Soldier Bug let out a shrill scream, turned around suddenly, and the other remaining pliers swept over like a hammer, creating waves of roars in the air.
Faced with this powerful and heavy blow, Lin Ze did not dodge, but simply slashed it with his sword, and had a head-on collision with the elite steel soldier insect's pliers.
As soon as the fire suddenly appeared, a harsh sound of gold and iron clashing suddenly erupted. Lin Ze took several steps back, and the hazy airflow covering the blade fluctuated and almost collapsed.
The Elite Steel Soldier Insect was even more miserable. The shell of the pliers was already covered with cracks. Blood mixed with body fluids was flowing. The entire pliers were limp and pulled down. It was obviously useless.
Without two pliers, the attack of the elite steel soldier bug was greatly weakened, and the defense of the head became stretched. Lin Ze soon caught the flaw and chopped off the head with a knife.
hiss!!
Under the severe pain, the Elite Steel Soldier Bug struggled wildly, but it could not change the fate of death. It didn't take long before it collapsed, motionless and lost its life.
"This guy is quite strong." Lin Ze rubbed his sore arm, "He is indeed a second-level insect beast."
But he never wanted to let the people in the settlement know that he could fight with the strength of the second-level insect beast without breaking the chin.
After absorbing the soul energy, the white sword suddenly had 0.1% more steel attribute soul energy.
"It's equivalent to absorbing 10 ordinary steel soldier bugs. Overall, it's more cost-effective than ordinary steel soldier bugs!"
Lin Ze looked overjoyed, but it was a pity that the lone Elite Steel Soldier Insect was hard to come by. Otherwise, if he specifically hunted the Elite Steel Soldier Insect, the speed of absorbing soul energy would be greatly improved.
After removing the insect core, Lin Ze continued hunting.
On this trip, he only carried five or six days of food and water. However, due to the fighting, the food was consumed faster than expected. By the morning of the fifth day, the food reserve was on the verge of being exhausted.
In view of this, Lin Ze planned to hunt down a few more waves of steel soldier bugs before heading back to the settlement.
After four days of hunting, there were no more than ten Steel Soldier Insects left in the square, with less than a hundred left. He didn't even need to use the lone Steel Soldier Insects to lure them, and rushed directly to the square to kill the remaining ones.
Lure all the insects and beasts outside, then roam around and kill them.
On the other hand, the collected insect cores have already filled up the tactical backpack. Although the insect cores are only the size of a thumb, the number of them is there. The space in the tactical backpack is not enough to hold nearly a thousand insect cores, so I have to throw them away.
part of it.
However, the insect core is not the biggest gain. After these days of fighting, in addition to the soul knife casting progress increasing to 11.69%, Qi and sword skills have also been improved by one level respectively.

"Sure enough, actual combat improves skills the fastest!"
The two skills of swordsmanship and qi have been stuck at the original level for a while, and were close to breakthrough, so after many battles with insect beasts, it was logical to upgrade them.
At present, the total amount of Qi in Lin Ze's body has increased more than four or five times compared to when he first reached level 1, enough to completely cover his upper body. At the same time, his control over Qi has also been greatly improved. Now he can now move between two sides.
The Dao Gang was condensed within seconds.
As for sword skills, the improvement of combat ability is self-evident.
In comparison, the increase in the progress of the soul knife has the smallest improvement in overall strength. The absorption of steel attribute soul energy only makes the white knife sharper. However, with the indestructible sword, no matter how sharp the white knife is, it is just the icing on the cake.
That’s all.
Perhaps this can only be changed after absorbing high temperature and fire attribute soul energy.
