The student's scream did not last long.
A glow appeared above the bookshelves around him, and transformed into the words "No Noise Allowed" which were printed on the student's body. He then seemed to be mute and could not utter a single sound.
Su Mu activated the red scale armor immediately and prepared for battle. At the same time, he saw clearly what had knocked the classmate away - a bug as big as a fist.
"Is this the bookworm that gives the book spirits a headache? Why does he look familiar?"
Su Mu thought about it and soon came up with the answer.
This bookworm looks a bit like Mr. Krabs in SpongeBob SquarePants. Both are long and narrow, with two long tentacles and legs.
Doesn't it look familiar?
However, the size of the bookworm was beyond Su Mu's expectations, it was too big.
The student who was knocked away and banned from speaking by the library quickly stabilized himself, and the long sword in his hand was like a dragon emerging from the abyss, stabbing at the bookworm with a strong and sharp sword energy. However, his attack did not break the bookworm's defense.
The bookworm's shell is stronger than you think!
Looking at the classmate fighting with the bookworm and not knowing where to start, and unable to defeat the bookworm with high defense and fast speed, Su Mu hesitated whether to go up and help.
At this time, a senior brother who was watching the game nearby walked up to Su Mu and made a gesture, asking Su Mu to look above his head.
Su Mu looked up and saw a passage floating above his head.
"The scientific name of this bookworm is the armored fish. It is usually only the size of a grain of rice and likes to chew books and silk the most. When it encounters danger, it will expand itself like a pufferfish, and can grow to the size of a book. Although the armored fish cannot use magic, it has a sturdy shell with high magic and physical defense. It is also swift and can fly, so it is very difficult to deal with. If you are not careful, you will be hit by it with its shell at high speed. This student just suffered a loss from that trick..."
Su Mu was a little surprised to see such a long paragraph of popular science and introduction.
He was very sure that he did not know this senior brother, so why did he introduce so many of them to him? Was it because he was enthusiastic and liked to teach others? Or was there some other reason?
In any case, this senior brother's introduction gave Su Mu a preliminary understanding of this bookworm, whose scientific name is the armored fish.
He couldn't help but complain about the book spirits in his heart. Since there was a mandatory task, they should have listed the relevant information about the armored fish. The book spirits must be very familiar with the situation of this kind of bookworm. But when accepting the task, there was no prompt... Do you think you are opening up a new land?
"Thank you for your scientific knowledge, brother."
Su Mu learned how to release spiritual power from the Baihui acupoint above his head and transform it into words.
Not to mention, this way of communication is quite fun, and it makes Sumu feel like he is playing games and chatting.
"You are welcome."
The senior brother smiled, and then the words above his head changed.
"So, Junior Brother, do you need someone to lead the light sweep mission? Not only do we have good grades in the two majors of strongman body training and flying swords, we also study spiritual plants and beast taming. The latter two majors are exactly suitable for dealing with armored fish!"
He turned around and pointed at several people around him. It seemed that they were all in the same team as him.
The words above the brother's head continued to change: "Our service is professional and the fees are reasonable. You deserve it! Don't worry, the book spirit only requires killing the bookworm. There is no restriction on solo or team play..."
It turns out that this is a professional team that has experienced missions before, no wonder they are so enthusiastic!
But Su Mu didn't want to just ask someone to take over the mission. He had just been upgraded to Level 2B and was looking for something to practice with, to test his current strength, and at the same time try out some newly learned spells and tricks.
So Su Mu 'typed' his reply: "Thank you, Senior Brother. I want to try it myself first. If it doesn't work, I will come back to you."
The senior brother smiled, nodded, and didn't persuade him further.
He had been leading the mission for more than one or two days, and had seen many junior and senior students who, when they first came to the library, were full of confidence in going solo to lead the armored fish. However, in the end, most of them ended up with bruises and swollen faces, and came to hire them crying for help.
"Okay, if you need anything, come find us here. If you get entangled by a armored fish and can't get away, just follow the example of this classmate—"
The senior brother raised his hand and pointed at the classmate who was fighting with the armored fish... uh, it should be said that he was beaten up by the "fist shadow" transformed by the armored fish, which was similar to the meteor fist.
Above the student's head, several huge characters made of spiritual power appeared: "Please take me with you! Please, an expert, take me with you! I'll pay you!"
It is extremely conspicuous and can be seen from a distance.
At the same time, next to these big words, some small words such as "ah", "ouch", "pain, pain, pain" kept popping up.
“Business is coming!”
Four new words popped up above the senior brother’s head. He jumped up and ran to the side of the student who was being beaten.
At some point he took out a hammer.
It is a multifunctional precision hammer that has been enhanced into a melee hammer!
The senior brother hit the armored fish with a hammer. Although he failed to break the armor and kill the bookworm, he knocked it away. Then he took out a QR code, and the text on the top changed to: "Pay first, then bring! If the mission fails, a full refund will be given!"
The student with a bruised face and nose did not bargain and immediately took out his mobile phone to scan the code to pay.
My senior brother is honest in doing business and doesn't raise the price.
After receiving the commission, the senior brother made a "start work" gesture to his team members. A group of people rushed towards the armored fish from different directions. At the same time, a cloud of smoke rose, blocking the view of the onlookers outside the battlefield.
"And it's kept secret? Are you afraid that someone else will learn the answers to the strategy?"
Su Mu shook his head. Since there was no more excitement to watch, let's go. After all, the task of cleaning up the bookworms was to be completed within a limited time.
He quickly reached Area B6 and released his spiritual energy. He discovered abnormal energy fluctuations in a copy of "Records of the Grand Historian" published by Yuelu Bookstore.
The armored fish hiding in the book realized that it was exposed, and immediately flew out of the book and tried to escape.
Su Mu raised the multifunctional precision hammer in his hand, intending to activate the electric shock effect of the hammer, but just as he activated it, a glow appeared around him, and then a temporary seal of "No Fireworks Allowed" fell on him.
Well, spells with electricity can easily cause fires...
Although the electric shock function was sealed, the hammer's other power was still there. Su Mu did not change weapons, but directly smashed the armored fish with the hammer.
Sensing the danger, the armored fish immediately grew larger, relying on its strong shell to take the blow.
Although it failed to break the defense directly, the [Stun] was effective, causing a brief delay in the armored fish's movements.
Su Mu did not rush to launch a follow-up attack, but took this opportunity to carefully observe the armored fish. He found that the carapace on its body was not completely covered, and there were still flaws in some joints that could be exploited.
At this time, the armored fish got rid of the stunning effect, turned into a meteor, and rushed towards Su Mu's face.
It seemed like "You knocked me out, so I'll knock you out too." And after suffering a loss, the armored fish moved even faster. It was not easy for Su Mu to hit it with a hammer like before.
Su Mu simply didn't use the hammer. The needle knife ring on his hand was stimulated by spiritual power and turned into countless flying needles as thin as cow hair, swarming towards the armored fish.
However, this time, the magic he used to control the flying needles was not the needle knife technique, but the Ten Thousand Swords Sword Technique that he secretly learned from Uncle Lu Da!
This sword-controlling technique is of Grade Three Class A quality. The flying needles controlled by it are stronger than before in both speed and power!
The armored fish tries to avoid these flying needles by jumping sideways quickly and repeatedly.
But the number of flying needles was too many and the speed was not fast enough. The armored fish could dodge one or two needles, but not ten or a hundred.
But the armored fish is not afraid. It has a strong shell. Even such a big hammer can't break its defense. How can such a small flying needle hurt it? Are you kidding!
But the development of things was somewhat different from what the armored fish had imagined.
Under Su Mu's control, the flying needle did not directly attack its shell, but pierced into the gap at the connection of the shell.
At this moment, the armored fish still did not panic.
Foolish human, do you think the gap between the carapace and the shell is my weakness? There is also a shell under the gap. It is impossible for you to pierce the shell and hurt my body...
Eh? Hey hey hey, what…what’s going on? Damn it, you can’t afford to play, right? Are you being a hooligan? !
The armored fish, which was originally calm, suddenly found that the shell it was proud of had disappeared!
No, that's not right. It didn't disappear, but was taken off!
The flying needles that pierced its body did not hurt it, but they stripped off its shell, completely exposing its delicate and white flesh.
The naked armored fish couldn't understand why its sturdy shell was gone.
How could it know that the flying needles controlled by Su Mu not only used the Wanjian Jue sword-controlling technique, but also the Jie Yi sword technique.
After the flying needle pierced into the gap in the shell, it gathered into a scimitar, directly peeling off its shell and breaking its defense!
The third-grade A-level stripping sword technique can even strip off the clothes and defense of a fox demon, let alone a bookworm?
The panicked bookworm tried to shrink and escape.
Su Mu waved his hand and threw out a magical weapon, which was the Toad Swallowing Moon Furnace.
The Toad-Swallowing Moon Furnace with a spiritual crystal stuck on its butt opened its mouth wide and swallowed the armored fish without a shell in one gulp.
After a moment, a dried insect body was spit out.
Although the armored fish is a pest, it is also a medicinal ingredient that has the effects of dispelling wind and improving eyesight, promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria, and detoxifying and dispersing nodules.
Just as Su Mu was using the Toad Swallowing Moon Furnace to cook the Armored Fish, a line of data information appeared in front of his eyes.
This is... the krypton gold plug-in has been activated? !
