tree demons have attributes

Chapter 8 The Forest
Gravel worms are accustomed to living in dark environments,

Facing the thin moonlight, he seemed a little listless, and his body lay limp and flat on the ground.

Next to it is a cavernous gray plant with elliptical leaves and small serrations on the edges, without too dazzling colors.

Li Mu first fed the gravel worms with gray grass, and then tried to continue feeding after collecting a mass of corrosive liquid, but the gravel worms were obviously full and lost their desire to eat.

"When will this grass be digested before it can produce new corrosive liquid?"

Li Mu looked at the full-fledged gravel worm, and was in a dilemma.

He intends to place the captive place underground, so that it appears more concealed.

Moreover, there are thousands of nests in the basin, which are very suitable for transformation into captive rooms.
But there is a problem, that is, the space of most nests is too small and needs corrosive liquid to expand. If the gravel worm can only produce a ball of corrosive liquid, the speed will be too slow.

"Try using the extraction attribute to see if it can make the gravel worms hungry again."

Tree roots penetrate.

Nutrition +1
Moisture +1
Gravel worms are extremely low-level monsters. Li Mu doesn't expect to be able to extract precious attributes at all. What he fancyes is the corrosive liquid that can be used to open up caves.

With the extraction of attributes.

The gravel worm's body begins to shrink,
There is no need to feed at all, and the "red jelly" that has become hungry again moves towards the gray plants next to it. Move toward a nearby shadow.

Any light that shines on the gravel worm makes it feel hot, and instinctively wants to go to a cooler and more humid place.

However, what this little gravel worm doesn't know is that,

Its nightmare has just begun.

Solved the problem of the production of corrosive liquid blocks,
this time,

Li Mu chose to inject a lot of nutritional properties and water into the
The crawling body of the gravel worm froze for a moment, and then gradually inflated, like filling a balloon with water. The big water balloon is full of elasticity, and it can't stop shaking when the breeze blows.

When it swells to about one meter in diameter,
"Bang" sound,
The monster's body exploded,

Splashes of "jelly" were scattered everywhere.

Even the jade spider was frightened, baring its teeth and claws, trying to warn the disappearing "big water polo".

"That's... dead?"

Li Mu poked the jelly remains on the ground with a tree root,
is indeed dead.

"This"

"I thought that the gravel worms could be spawned only by injecting nutritional properties into it. It seems that the matter is too simple." Li Mu smiled bitterly, and helped the jade spider clean up the slime with a branch in embarrassment.

Originally, he thought that since the devil worms looked so similar to slimes, the breeding method should be similar, that is, to increase their size desperately, and then they would naturally split into new worms.
Before the breeding industry started, a gravel worm was killed first.

The tree roots absorbed the remains of the boulder worm corpses, and with good luck, some nutritional attributes were recovered.

"It seems that it can only be cultivated with gray grass honestly."

Li Mu brought out another gravel worm from the burrow to conduct other experiments. This time he didn't dare to infuse attributes all over the place, just to confirm whether the gravel worm could eat branches and leaves.

After the experiment, it was found that gravel worms are only interested in gray grass, not interested in other plants.
Li Mu confidently made a huge cage out of tree branches, and placed it in the hole as a fence for raising gravel worms.

Then use the corrosive liquid produced by the gravel worms to open up an underground flower garden, and the tree roots extend below the flower garden to transport nutrients and water properties into the soil.The gray grass planted above is very lush.

The plants rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon filled the entire space.

for the rest of the day.

Li Mu used gray grass to feed the devil gravel worms, collected corrosive liquid blocks, and dug tunnels. When the gravel worms were full, he used tree roots to absorb the properties in their bodies to give birth to the corrosive liquid again.
so back and forth.

The original devil rat lair was expanded several times, and several other monster lairs were connected in series at the same time, several underground breeding rooms were opened up, and the walls were all reinforced with branches.

A network of underground passages extending in all directions and beginning to take shape gradually formed.

After doing all this,
After Li Mu felt that the space was enough, he officially started digging the tunnel leading to the forest.

With the corrosive liquid, the excavation work becomes much easier,
Use tree roots to gently roll up the corrosive liquid block and throw it towards the wall in the east direction. The hard wall is quickly eroded by the corrosive liquid, and there is no need to clean up the excess soil, saving time and effort.

As the passage deepened, the tree roots were not long enough, so we had to rely on jade spiders instead of digging. Since the legs were too sharp, we had to use spider webs to carry the corrosive liquid.
The second half of the project was basically completed by the little spider alone.
About a day and a half,
Some tree roots began to appear in the soil of the passage, indicating that the passage had passed through the wasteland and reached the bottom of the forest.

It should be at the edge of the forest right now.

There are fewer resources in the fringe areas, and going further east will not only have powerful monsters, but may even encounter a skeleton army.

So Li Mu decided to set the exit as much as possible in the middle of the forest where there are many resources and are not too dangerous.

Half a day's work,
Li Mu made a rough estimate and felt that the location was almost the same.

The burrow began to dig obliquely upwards,

The roots of the plants appeared more and more frequently, and even ran into several colonies of carrion insects living in the soil,
Based on the principle that the development is difficult in the early stage, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat. All the monster insects were wrapped in the spider silk, and the nests of these monster insects were expanded into transfer stations, which can be used to accumulate captured prey at that time.

"The cave is about to pass."

Li Mu controlled the jade spider to use a silk thread to pull up a piece of gravel insect liquid and throw it on the soil in front of it. The splashed slime quickly corroded the soil, revealing a small breach through which the tree canopy outside could be vaguely seen.

"Calculating the distance, it should be in the middle of the forest. I hope the exit of the cave can land in a good position."

Li Mu didn't dare to be careless. After all, according to the demon's memory, the frontier forest was an extremely dangerous existence. If he accidentally dug the exit in the middle of the powerful monster settlement and got out of the cave rashly, he would die.

As the holder of the non-chieftain attribute, Li Mu felt that such unlucky things had to be guarded against.

then,

The jade spider stretched out its forelimbs to cut open the covered turf, poked its head out cautiously, and looked at it in different directions with its six eyes.

Okay,

Li Mu is lucky.

Wherever he looked, he didn't see any powerful monsters, nor was he in the middle of the demon tribe.

It is on a flat, slightly undulating woodland,

The entrance of the cave is surrounded by towering demon trees, and there are many colorful wild fruits on the ground. When they fall from the crown of the tree, they are smashed, exposing the core and pulp inside.

Occasionally, there are demonic birds and birds from the sky to eat, and in the distance, various monsters of different sizes can be seen gnawing grass roots and rotten fruits with their heads down.

These beasts are all low-level monsters, and the most powerful ones are no more than four-level monsters.

For Li Mu, the location of the cave entrance is quite good.

Rich in resources and hidden in location, it is very suitable for jade spiders to hunt.

was thinking,

The jade spider's eyes fell on the wild boar-sized monster with a long nose not far away.

The monster didn't seem to notice any danger. It lowered its head and ate the fruit on the ground. Following the trail of the fruit, it came towards the cave bit by bit.

"Zi"

The spider silk spewed out, and the monster was dragged into the burrow before it could react.

After my cry,

The jade spider's fangs quickly pierced the monster's throat, paralyzing it into a coma. The forelimbs clasped the monster's head and feet and rolled up and down, and the spider silk wrapped the prey layer by layer.

The hunt was neither loud nor small.

Monsters scattered and fled,
The surroundings of the spider cave suddenly became deserted,

However, low-level monsters are forgetful. As time goes by and the danger passes, a new batch of monsters gather nearby to look for food.

There was a figure on the canopy with its head tilted, as if it was still reminiscing about what happened just now, staring at the cave covered with grass on the ground.
