Chapter 211: Chapter 211 The Second Form Of The Green-sh.e.l.led Insect
The secluded road was crooked and gave off a gloomy feeling. With help from the map Xiao Si had given to him, Chu Yunsheng headed straight towards the pa.s.sage that led to the land of the dead after coming out of the camp.
According to the map that was drawn by Xiao Si, there were three places that used to have brutal and unfortunate ma.s.sacres in the north of Wu Cheng city, all of them were also done by the insects.
The place that Xiao Si showed Chu Yunsheng was the one that was nearest to the camp, it was also the one with the least casualties out of those three places.
One of the other two places was near the place where Chu Yunsheng and Edgar first landed from the sky and the last one was on a highway near the edge of the city. Because the highway was used during the evacuation and a lot of cars were blocking the road at that time, that place ended up having the most casualties.
With the experience he gained from the last encounter, Chu Yunsheng’s movements were much quicker this time, however, he still needed to be cautious because of the monster’s king, and there was also one more thing he noticed. It was that the density of the spore virus seemed to be much higher in the lands of death than the other places.
With the amount of the time it would take Rong Yuan cells to kill the spore virus, Chu Yunsheng suspected that he could stay in the land of the death for one hour at most, if he stayed for more than one hour, the disinfection speed would not keep up with the infection speed.
So he only had one hour.
The flying head monsters that had been scared away yesterday all came back to the land of the dead, it seemed like the bodies underneath the land of the dead were very important to them.
With the help of the armor, Chu Yunsheng sneaked inside without making any noise this time. The monsters were still casually flying in between the giant mushroom when he arrived.
“Whoos.h.!.+”
A green-sh.e.l.led insect suddenly appeared out of nowhere, the high-speed wing buzzing sound instantly rang out in the area, then the second green-sh.e.l.led insect, the third, the fourth… the monsters started to panic.
Chu Yunsheng immediately ordered them to start chasing the monsters into a small circle, he only left one green-sh.e.l.led insect next to him. It was the one that was twice as big as the others.
The last green-sh.e.l.led insect was the one that had consumed the most of the flying head monsters last time, its colour had also changed quite a lot, it was darker and it gave people a feeling of metal texture.
Chu Yunsheng could help chase the monsters, but he decided not to, instead, he wanted to see how strong the defence of the upgraded green-sh.e.l.led insect was.
So he ordered the green-sh.e.l.led insect to land, and then he stabbed the sword into its sh.e.l.l. Although the sword could penetrate its sh.e.l.l, Chu Yunsheng could feel some resistance. After all, a tier-two sword was very sharp. Based on the resistance the sword had, he could tell the toughness of the sh.e.l.l had improved a lot.
“From now on, you are called The Type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led Insect.” Chu Yunsheng patted the green-sh.e.l.led insect’s sh.e.l.l and said. In fact, he didn’t really know what kind of name he should give to the upgraded green-sh.e.l.led insect, but when he glanced over the type 2 dark energy gun unintentionally, the name instantly came to his mind.
The type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect wasn’t affected by the stab. When Chu Yunsheng ordered it to move, it instantly flew towards the flying head monsters at a speed which was almost the same as Chu Yunsheng’s speed after he put on the armor.
‘Speed also increased?’
Normally the flying speed of a regular green-sh.e.l.led insect could not compete with Chu Yunsheng when he put on the armour.
If both the green-sh.e.l.led insect’s protection and speed were increased, that meant its strength could also be increased as well.
After the type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect joined the hunt, in less than 10 minutes, all the flying head monsters in the area were eliminated.
All the leech-like monsters were piled up in front of Chu Yunsheng, and there were almost 60 of them, and since the five green-sh.e.l.led insects landed next to him, they were constantly sending the desire of eating the monsters to Chu Yunsheng.
However, Chu Yunsheng ignored most of them, he just kept feeding the type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect.
After the type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect continuously ate the 10 leech-like monsters, the changes started to become less obvious, no matter the body size or the colour, even the energy concentration didn’t have many obvious changes.
Chu Yunsheng immediately stopped feeding the monster after not being able to get any new results out of the feeding.
He thought for a minute. The green-sh.e.l.led insect had already consumed almost 100 leech-like monsters before he sealed it back to the talisman yesterday, because of the appearance of the monster’s king, he had hurriedly sealed the monster before he could observe the changes, despite that, he suspected that the type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect probably had completed its transformation.
The leech-like monster most likely couldn’t provide enough “nutrition” to the green-sh.e.l.led insect level up again.
‘But how many monsters does a regular green-sh.e.l.led insect need to eat in order to reach the second form?’ Chu Yunsheng wondered.
He secretly calculated, the green-sh.e.l.led insect had eaten around 20 of them near the house they first landed, almost 150 of them in the land of the dead. So in total, it was around 170 of them, however, this number was obviously more than the actual number that a green-sh.e.l.led insect would need to change its form.
In order to find out what was the minimum number that could cause the changes to a green-sh.e.l.led insect, Chu Yunsheng needed to feed the other green-sh.e.l.led insects.
But before that, he still wanted to see if the purple flame monster was interested in those leech-like monsters or not.
Surprisingly, when Chu Yunsheng summoned the purple flame monster, it only had a slight desire to eat.
Even if it didn’t show much of an eating desire, Chu Yunsheng still fed it 10 leech-like monsters.
He wanted to see if it would help the purple flame monster to recover its injuries.
But the result was very disappointing, it didn’t help at all.
However, it proved that what the senior pract.i.tioner said was correct. The sealed monster must be healed using the user’s own Yuan Qi. He did not know why it worked that way, the book had too many complicated theories he could not understand, he just hoped that one day he would be able to figure it out.
But there was one thing that puzzled him. Why was Jing Mouyhou’s energy able to heal the sealed monster? Although he could not understand everything that was mentioned in the book, he suspected that after the wood elemental energy went into this body, it was transformed by his Ben Ti Yuan Qi, it was probably because of that, that the wood elemental Yuan Qi was able to get into the monster seal talisman and speeded up the monster’s recovery.
Suddenly, both the injured purple flame monster and Chu Yunsheng raised their heads and looked at the sky, they suddenly felt an energy fluctuation coming towards them.
Almost within a split second, the energy fluctuations were getting more and more intense, and just when Chu Yunsheng sealed back the purple flame monster, a giant centipede dived down from the sky.
Its target was not Chu Yunsheng, but a green-sh.e.l.led insect!
The fight instantly broke out without any sign, Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to fight this monster before, because he didn’t know how strong it was, so before he was confident at fighting it, he didn’t want to have any conflict with it.
However, he had no choice now, it had already locked onto a green-sh.e.l.led insect, if he did not order the green-sh.e.l.led insect to fight back, he would suffer huge losses.
Because it was the first time for him to fight the centipede monster, he didn’t have any kind of plan for controlling the green-sh.e.l.led insects. 6 flying monsters simply clashed together and fought in the melee.
In just the first clash, Chu Yunsheng instantly lost one green-sh.e.l.led insect, the green-sh.e.l.led insect was worried to death by the centipede’s powerful mouth!
However, the centipede monster was also injured, the type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect unexpectedly spat out a blazing fire at the centipede monster, it even burned a hole in the centipede’s belly.
Chu Yunsheng drew the sword, he was ready to cast out the sword fighting technique, he wanted to end the fight as soon as possible before the monster killed any more green-sh.e.l.led insects.
Then, he was surprised to find out that the rest of the four green-sh.e.l.led insects started to gain control of the fight!
The centipede monster was attracted by the type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect, it wanted to kill the type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect, however, the type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect was very agile, but when it wanted to catch the regular Green-sh.e.l.led insects, the type 2 insect would constantly spit fire at it.
But the green-sh.e.l.led insects couldn’t control the fight for long, after a while, Chu Yunsheng lost another regular green-sh.e.l.led insect, and the type 2 Green-sh.e.l.led insect was also heavily injured.
Chu Yunsheng decided to not wait any longer, he cast out the sword Qi straightway, attempting to cut the monster in half.
At the same time, he also cast out one last fiery rain talisman at the monster.
He needed to end it right now, because he had heard noises made by other centipede monsters, and they were coming towards him.
After the monster gave out a last loud ear-piercing scream, it was cut in half and fell to the ground.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t dare to stay a second longer, he quickly sealed the rest of the green-sh.e.l.led insects and the body of the dead centipede monster and then left the land of the dead.
