Chapter 39 Casting the Knife
In the dilapidated and desolate square, there are densely packed, endless swarms of insects that can't be seen at a glance.

Standing on an isolated wall, Lin Ze looked out and was slightly taken aback by the number of insects.

"There are at least a thousand of them!"

He looked back and forth in the swarm of insects, and not surprisingly, he found a dozen steel soldier worms that were bigger in size, comparable to buffaloes, and most of them were elite individuals among them.

However, no suspected steel soldier king worm was found.

"That's right, if there are steel soldier king worms in the square, then there must be more than a thousand worms!"

After collecting the information he wanted, Lin Ze stopped delaying and quickly jumped off the wall, ready to act.

He didn't rush to the square rashly. That would be no different from courting death. Instead, he planned to look for the lonely steel soldier worm as he did just now, and then let the latter call his companions. He only needs to find the battle location in advance. .

There were a lot of steel soldiers and insects left alone around the square, and Lin Ze quickly found one, let it raise its head and let out a neighing sound calling for its companions, and then killed it with one blow.

The location of the battle was still chosen in a complex terrain lined with rocks, which was beneficial for him to deal with the swarms and defeat them one by one.

The call of the steel soldier worms summoned thirty or forty companions. Relying on the favorable terrain, it only took Lin Ze about ten minutes to kill all the worms.

Resting in place for a while, eating some dry food and water, after his physical strength recovered, he continued to use the lone steel soldier insects to lure the swarms, and then hunted them down. When the sky darkened, the steel soldiers who died under him There are more than 200 worms.

'White knife 2.26% (steel 2.26%)'

After absorbing a large amount of soul energy, the white knife has become more silvery and shiny, exuding a dazzling metallic luster under the sun, and its sharpness is also improved. This is especially obvious in battle. The white knife breaks through steel soldiers. The worm's carapace is getting easier and easier.

"This is probably the effect brought about by the growth of steel attribute soul energy." Lin Ze's eyes brightened slightly.

As the casting progress of the Soul Knife increases, the White Knife will gradually show special abilities. Right now, it has only absorbed the steel attribute soul energy. After absorbing the high temperature and fire attribute soul energy, it may be possible for the White Knife to attack Comes with fire damage.

Thinking of that scene, Lin Ze felt a little anticipation in his heart.

On the other hand, the battle with Steel Soldier Bug also allowed him to achieve an achievement, 'Bug Hunter I', which rewarded him with 10 points.

Lin Ze recalled the time when he got the achievement reminder. At that time, he seemed to have killed almost 100 steel soldier worms. It seems that the condition for this achievement is to kill 100 worm beasts.

And like 'Society Destroyer I', it can be seen from the name that it belongs to an achievement series.

"I just don't know how many heads need to be killed to achieve the next achievement, 1000?" Lin Ze whispered to himself.

The danger factor of fighting at night skyrocketed. After taking out the last batch of bug nuclei, 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. The dry food began to rest with eyes closed.

Because he was in the wild, Lin Ze didn't dare to sleep too deeply, and had to keep a certain amount of vigilance, but the consequence of this was that any disturbance, even if it was just the neighing of insects and beasts in the distance, would wake him up instantly.

After finally surviving until dawn, Lin Ze's spirit was a little sluggish, and his face was slightly tired.

After all, I have never had a similar experience of spending the night in the wild, and the skill of maintaining vigilance and sleeping will not be able to be practiced in a short time. Thanks to Lin Ze's strong physical fitness, otherwise, if I change to other newcomers, I am afraid it will take a day or two. Can't bear to go back to the settlement.

However, the newcomers are usually led by experienced swordsmiths, and if the two take turns keeping vigil, it is not surprising that they will not have enough rest.

"Whatever you gain, you will lose."

With a sigh, Lin Ze got up after breakfast and rushed towards yesterday's square, preparing to continue hunting steel soldier insects.

Compared with yesterday, the number of steel soldier insects in the square was significantly less. However, these mentally retarded guys did not notice the abnormality at all, and they still lay lazily on the ground, scratching randomly on the ground with their sharp feet, plowing out cuts. .

Unless they are hungry, these steel soldier bugs will get up and go out to look for food.

Lin Ze observed for a while, and suddenly saw a much larger elite steel soldier in the distance suddenly staggered up, left the square and walked towards him.

Seeing this, Lin Ze was overjoyed. He quickly jumped off the wall and rushed forward. It didn't take long before he saw the elite steel soldier worm.

The elite steel soldier worm also discovered the existence of Lin Ze, and the scarlet eyes suddenly burst out with cruelty, and the original lazy state disappeared, replaced by a violent and ferocious aura.

This huge and terrifying monster excitedly opened its double pincers, like a charging chariot, rushing towards Lin Ze with a bang.

Lin Ze had already condensed the knife gang in advance, kicked his feet when he saw this, and rushed forward, head-on to kill the elite steel soldier worm.

Just when the two sides were about to collide head-on, Lin Ze turned sideways suddenly, narrowly avoiding the collision of the elite steel soldiers, and at the same time, with a flick of the knife, a huge pliers shot up into the sky.

The elite steel soldier worm let out a shrill neigh, turned around suddenly, and the other remaining pincers swept towards it like a hammer, stirring up waves of whistling in the air.

Faced with this powerful blow, Lin Ze did not dodge, and simply slashed at it, and had a head-to-head encounter with the elite steel soldier worm's pincers.

As soon as the flames appeared, there was a piercing sound of gold and iron clashing, and Lin Ze stepped back a few steps. The hazy airflow covering the blade fluctuated and almost collapsed.

The Elite Steel Soldier Worm was even more miserable. The outer shell of the pliers was covered with cracks, and blood mixed with body fluids was flowing. The whole pliers were limp and pulled down, obviously useless.

Without two pincers, the attack of the elite steel soldier worm was greatly weakened, and the defense against the head also became stretched. Lin Ze quickly caught the flaw and chopped off the head with a knife.

hiss! !

Under the severe pain, the elite steel soldier worm struggled frantically, but it couldn't change the fate of death. It didn't take long for it to go limp, motionless and lost its vitality.

"This guy is quite strong." Lin Ze rubbed his sore arm, "As expected of a second-level worm."

But he never wanted to let the people in the inhabited area know that he could compete with the second-level worms without falling below his chin.

After absorbing the soul energy, there was 0.1% more steel attribute soul energy on the white knife.

"Equivalent to absorbing 10 ordinary steel soldier insects, overall it is more cost-effective than ordinary steel soldier insects!"

Lin Ze was overjoyed, but it was a pity that the single elite steel soldier worms were hard to come by. Otherwise, if they hunted and killed the elite steel soldier worms specifically, the speed of absorbing soul energy would definitely increase by more than one notch.

After removing the worm core, Lin Ze continued hunting.

On this trip, he only carried five or six days of rations and water, but because of the battle, the food consumption was faster than expected, and by the morning of the fifth day, the food reserves were almost exhausted.

In view of this, Lin Ze planned to hunt and kill a few more waves of steel soldier bugs before heading back to the settlement.

After four days of hunting, there were no more than a hundred steel soldier worms left in the square, and he didn't even need to use the single steel soldier worms to lure him, he rushed directly to the square and killed the remaining ones. All the insects and beasts are led outside, and then they can walk around and kill them.

On the other hand, the collected bug cores have already filled the tactical backpack to the brim. Although the bug cores are only the size of a thumb, but the number is there, the space in the tactical backpack is not enough to hold nearly a thousand bug cores, so I had to throw them away part of it.

However, the worm core is not the biggest gain. After these days of fighting, in addition to the soul knife casting progress increased to 11.69%, qi and saber skills have also increased by 1 level.

Knife Technique Lv3
"Sure enough, actual combat improves skills the fastest!"

The two skills of knife technique and qi have stayed at the original level for a while, and they are already close to breaking through, so after many fights with insects and beasts, they have been upgraded logically.

Right now, the total amount of qi in Lin Ze's body has increased by more than four or five times compared to when he just rose to Lv1, enough to completely cover his upper body. At the same time, his control over qi has also been greatly improved. Within seconds, a knife gang was condensed.

As for the sword technique, it is self-evident to improve the combat ability.

In comparison, the increase in the progress of the soul knife has the least effect on the overall strength. The absorption of steel attribute soul energy only makes the white knife sharper. However, with the indestructible knife, the sharpness of the white knife is just icing on the cake That's all.

Perhaps this can only be changed after absorbing high temperature and fire attribute soul energy.
