Beast Control: Starting from raising silkworms and becoming the King of Insects.

Chapter 113 The Provocateur

Early the next morning, after putting away the camping equipment and restarting the off-road vehicle, the hunting team moved forward cautiously along the faintly visible trail in the forest.

Driving through the dense forest made everyone feel a little nervous.

Even if Lu Dahu drove the car very slowly, the hum of the engine was still very obvious in the quiet forest.

Every time there is a noise in the surrounding woods, everyone will be highly nervous. Ayou, Daodao Mantis and Devil Dog are even arranged on the roof of the car to be on guard at all times.

Speaking of which, more mature hunting teams will usually be equipped with some special riding beasts that are good at climbing and trekking and have outstanding endurance.

However, the Black Tiger Hunting Team is still inexperienced, and everyone only has one signature pet beast, so there are currently no more places available to contract mounts.

"Collector 07", the only one in the team with the ability to transport, was able to load the caught sunworms and some cultivation materials, but it was a bit overwhelmed when it came to loading all the luggage.

Fortunately, after marching to the middle of the forest for more than three hours, the hunting team was not attacked by the intermediate beasts.

Feeling that the surrounding woods were so dense that he couldn't see the sky clearly, Lu Dahu stopped and found a new place to camp nearby.

After this intense trek, the surrounding team of gatherers became significantly thinner. During the last hour of the journey, Russell only saw one team heading in the same direction.

The sun was just right at this time, and the sunworms were in their active period. Lu Dahu and others just went ahead and started a new round of hunting in this inaccessible forest.

In this area, there are a lot more predators that can prevent sunworms from blowing up, so they almost all live on high tree trunks.

Honeydew is a very volatile substance. The method of using honeydew to lure sunworms over such a long distance is very expensive.

If a large amount of honeydew is placed under the tree to wait for the sunworms to crawl down on their own, plus feeding the captured sunworms, the honeydew carried by the hunting team will not last for two days at all.

Lu Dahu, who went out to catch sunworms for the first time, seemed not to have expected such a problem. Looking at the sunworms that could be seen everywhere on high branches, he couldn't help but feel troubled.

Seeing the hunting team at a loss, Russell thought for a while and suggested to Lu Dahu:
"My beast control talent can soothe insect beasts, and let the beasts use control skills to catch them. If I calm them down again, they won't explode, right?"

This is not the first time Russell has used the external talent "Insect Whisperer". He has used it many times in front of the Beast Control Alliance. When facing some friends, there is no need to hide it.

"That's right! I think I heard Ning Ning say that it's easy for you to get close to insect-type pets. You should try to find one first. If it works, you have to remember this hunting trip!"

Hearing this, Lu Dahu looked like he suddenly realized something.

Lu Yinning did mention Russell's talent for beast control to him, but Lu Dahu didn't remember it much at the time. Plus Russell was just accompanying him this time and was not considered a formal hunting team member after all, so he never thought of it.

It seems that on the first day he entered the forest, Russell once caught a sunworm with his bare hands...

Unexpectedly, this kid actually has a talent for spiritual communication. No wonder the business of the insect pet house is booming.

At the same time, several of Lu Dahu's teammates were also secretly surprised.

The talent of spiritual communication is rare in nature, not to mention that it is related to an extremely large number of insect beasts, so its value is self-evident.

Just talking about this hunting, with the help of a companion who can appease the sunworms, the team's income may be doubled several times.

The captain’s friend is indeed not simple!

Under the gaze of everyone in the team, Russell directed Ayou to fly to a nearby tree, controlled a sunworm with paralyzing fluff, and then caught it in his hand.

After a while, the paralysis was lifted. The sunworm suddenly left its habitat and looked very panicked. Its body immediately glowed with white light.Seeing this, everyone's hearts were lifted.

Fortunately, the white light only flashed away, and no one knew what Russell had done. The captured sunworm gave up the idea of ​​self-destruction and lay quietly in his palm.

In fact, Russell just quietly touched the sunworm with an energy thread. Since the energy of the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent was very popular among insect beasts, it became quiet again.

Seeing that the method proposed by Russell was indeed feasible, Lu Dahu was full of joy and insisted on adding him to the dividend list for this hunt.

Naturally, everyone in the team had no objection to this.

Not to mention that the addition of Russell has improved the efficiency of catching sunworms a lot, and the money they will get will be more, not less. Even if they lose a little money, it will be a sure profit to get to know such an excellent professional beast master. No compensation.

…………

In the following time, under the leadership of Russell, the team launched a capture operation by controlling the sunworms and then calming them down.

Neither the Devil Dog nor the Static Electric Hedgehog have the ability to climb, so Russell's UFO Hawk Moth and Zheng Yu's Acid Roaring Viper became the main force in the capture work.

One of their summoned beasts can fly, and the other can climb trees quickly, and also has control skills. It is easy to catch sunworms that basically won't resist.

Relying on the paralyzing fluff and the hypnotic poisonous gas emitted from the fangs, Ayou and the Sourthroat Viper attacked in all directions, quickly sweeping away all the sunworms within a few dozen meters of the surrounding area.

However, neither the paralyzing fluff nor the hypnotic gas are long-lasting control skills. Even if the control target is a very weak sunworm, the effect will only last for a few minutes.

In the blink of an eye, the sunworms regained their mobility and crawled restlessly in the bottle.

"Leave it to you."

The self-destruction of a single sunworm is enough to injure a third-level summoned beast. It would not be unusual for more than a dozen sunworms to get together and explode to death. Therefore, Lu Dahu did not dare to be greedy for more. After catching almost one bottle, he quickly killed the sunworms. Passed it to Russell.

The insect affinity brought by the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent is effective against the fifth-level Dreamweaver Spider, and it is no problem to deal with the first-level black iron pet beast Sunworm.

Russell held the bottle in his hand for only a few seconds, and all the sunworms in the bottle fell silent.

Later, Fan Ming will add some honeydew to the bottle containing the sunworms, and then hand it over to "Collector 07" for centralized storage.

Tong Ling and Lu Dahu, who had nothing to do for the time being, began to dig wild vegetables nearby and hunt some low-level wild beasts in preparation for today's lunch.

Everyone had a clear division of labor and coordinated in an orderly manner. Within half a day, there were dozens of sunworms in good condition.

According to the time limit for issuing the commission from the Beast Control Alliance and the amount of supplies the team was carrying this time, Lu Dahu decided to catch him for another week or so before returning to the Alliance Building to exchange for credits.

In the next few days, Russell and the others repeatedly captured sunworms and occasionally dealt with the incoming wild beasts, but nothing special happened.

Seeing more and more sunworms in the storage box of "Collector 07", everyone was in a particularly beautiful mood.

However, as time went by, more collectors joined the ranks of catching sunworms in late summer, and several hunting teams camped in this area near the middle of the forest.

At first, everyone could separate their own areas and capture slowly, but the excessive hunting speed of the Black Tiger Hunting Team still aroused the jealousy of some bad guys.

Another day in the afternoon, Russell and others were catching sunworms as usual, when a group of uninvited guests suddenly stopped in front of them with an unkind expression.
