As his sword skills and energy leveled up, Lin Ze's strength also increased.
Now he can face the siege of nearly twenty steel soldier insects at the same time. Even if two elite steel soldier insects jointly attack, he can easily solve it.
According to Lin Ze's estimation, his strength should have reached level three in this world's hierarchy.
After spending more than three hours, Lin Ze finally cleaned up the remaining steel soldiers in the square and harvested 1.04% of the steel attribute soul energy.
At the same time, the second achievement was also achieved.
[Congratulations to player ‘Crow’ for achieving the achievement ‘Insect Hunter II’ and earning 15 points]
"Sure enough, it is 1,000 heads. By analogy, the third one should be 10,000 heads!"
Lin Ze estimated that by the time he achieved his achievement, he would have almost forged a soul knife.
After taking out the insect core, he left the square and headed towards the exit of the city ruins.
In fact, in addition to the square, there are also more than ten other locations marked on the map where a large number of steel soldier insects are entrenched. If it were not for the lack of food he carried, Lin Ze would have wanted to keep hunting until he had absorbed 36% of the steel attribute souls.
able.
"It's a pity that the meat of most insect beasts is inedible. Otherwise, if the food is supplemented, the time spent outside can be extended."
In addition to food, lack of rest is also one of the factors that restricts Lin Ze from staying in the wild for a long time. After these days of training, although he has made some progress in how to adjust his sleep, he is still far from an experienced veteran.
These are the problems that solo travelers have to face.
Walking on the moss-covered streets, Lin Ze couldn't help but have some divergent thoughts. Maybe he could play a summoning game and cultivate a powerful summon, just like Cheng Zheng's black-spotted giant snake, so that he could let it be summoned while sleeping.
Responsible for vigilance.
But it’s just a thought, and I can’t bite off more than I can chew. At present, the exploration of the two games “Wasteland Blade Whisper” and “Strong Man’s Training Diary” has just started. There is still a lot of room for exploration and new games.
Just a waste.
While he was thinking, Lin Ze suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly, and at the same time, a strange dull sound came from his ears.
Bang! Bang!
earthquake?
No, that's not right! It's footsteps!
Lin Ze was taken aback. After listening carefully, he quickly identified the type of sound, and his heart suddenly pounded.
What kind of monster can have such momentum while walking? Could it be a high-level insect beast?
And listening to the sound, the monster was still approaching his position.
Lin Ze made a quick decision, left the spot and ran towards the distance. When he came to a place forty or fifty meters away, he hid behind a wall, slowed down his breathing and looked around.
The roaring footsteps became clearer and louder, and the tremors on the ground also escalated. Some small stones even bounced like falling raindrops.
With a deafening roar, a half-collapsed building on the right side of the street suddenly collapsed, as if it was hit head-on by an charging tank. Countless stones flew out and hit the ground, stirring up dust all over the sky.
After the stirring dust dissipated, the culprit that caused all this gradually came into Lin Ze's sight.
It was a huge monster like a hill, like a ladybug magnified countless times. The oval body was two stories high. The carapace was blue-gray and densely covered with marble-like lines. The texture was thick and simple, and the four rough
The cylindrical legs support the huge body and move forward slowly. Every step it takes will leave a circle of radial cracks on the ground.
Its head is triangular in shape, its surface is covered with a thick layer of horny substance, and the sides of its mouth are covered with earthy-yellow tentacles.
Even though it was forty or fifty meters away, this monster still gave Lin Ze an unspeakable sense of oppression.
"It's actually a giant tank insect"
Lin Ze quickly retracted his head and held his breath slightly.
Thanks to his good knowledge of insect identification, he immediately recognized the origin of the monster.
The giant tank insect is a type of giant insect beast. It is at the fifth level in the insect beast's hierarchy. In other words, it requires at least a fifth-level apprentice swordsmith with a soul knife progress of more than 80% to deal with it. Lin Ze is
It is impossible to deal with it, and if it is discovered, it will be very dangerous.
The complex terrain in the ruins of the city had no effect on this big monster. The latter crashed into it, no matter how heavy and huge the rocks were, it couldn't stop it.
Fortunately, the Giant Tank Insect's perception ability was not very strong, and it did not notice Lin Ze not far away at all. It walked away with heavy steps and soon disappeared from Lin Ze's sight.
It wasn't until the giant tank bug disappeared that Lin Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.
There are a lot of insect beasts in the ruins of C7 city, but there are only level three insect beasts at most. Insect beasts above this level are basically cleared out regularly by the Swordsmith Guild. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be level five insect beasts.
There is still the possibility of missing other insect beasts, but with the size of the giant tank insect, it is really difficult not to detect it.
"Could it be that they came from the ruins of other cities?"
Lin Ze made up his mind to report this information to the Swordsmiths Guild and maybe get some credits in exchange for it.
Considering that the giant tank worm might return, Lin Ze walked a short distance in the opposite direction and almost reached the square before stopping.
After finding a shaded position, he took out dry food and water to eat, preparing to fill his stomach before setting off back to the Blackstone settlement.
After drinking the last bit of water, Lin Ze was about to get up and pack his things when his ears suddenly twitched and he grabbed the white knife beside him and pointed the knife at the pile of rocks not far away on the right side.
"Ah, I didn't expect to meet someone of the same race here!"
A voice came from behind the pile of rocks. As the voice sounded, a man wearing combat uniform and carrying a tactical backpack came out. He had a white knife on his waist, opened his hands harmlessly, and smiled kindly at Lin Ze.
laugh.
His eyes passed over the unique symbol of the Black Stone Settlement on the opponent's combat uniform. Lin Ze lowered the blade slightly and nodded gently towards the person, but never let go of the handle of the knife with his right hand.
"You look strange. I haven't seen you here before. Is this your first time in C7 City Ruins?"
As if the man didn't notice Lin Ze's slightly raised blade, he slowly walked towards him, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Wu Weilin."
"Lin Ze."
Lin Ze said calmly, "Not long after I graduated from the training camp, it was my first time to hunt insects outside."
"I see."
Wu Weilin sat down three or four meters away from Lin Ze, put the shriveled tactical backpack on the ground, and said with a smile, "By the way, brother, do you have any food? I have been here for four days and I have eaten everything.
It’s over. If you don’t mind, share some with me?”
"Okay." Lin Ze nodded, stretched out his arm towards the backpack placed at his feet, and turned his attention away from Wu Weilin. Seeing this, a strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of Wu Weilin's mouth, and his palm quickly touched the knife at his waist.
handle.
However, before he could touch the handle of the knife, the next moment Lin Ze suddenly jumped up, grabbed his backpack and threw it at Wu Weilin. With the huge force, the heavy backpack filled with insect cores was no less than a stone mill, carrying it in the air.
There was a dull whistling sound.
Wu Weilin never expected that Lin Ze would make a sudden move. He was caught off guard and was hit. He groaned and fell backwards. Before he could get up from the ground, he saw a cold light flashing out of the corner of his eye, and his scalp suddenly felt numb.
In a hurry, he rolled around to avoid it, but the sharp knife still opened a gash in his abdomen, and bright red blood immediately flowed down.
"What are you doing!?"
After pulling away, Wu Weilin immediately pulled out his white sword and glared at Lin Ze, his face full of shock and anger.
Lin Ze waved his white knife, shook off the blood beads on it, and said calmly: "Why, do you still plan to continue acting?"
Hearing this, Wu Weilin's expression froze, and then his expression gradually darkened, and his eyes flashed with doubts: "How did you see that?"
