Chapter 9: The Instinct of Recovery



Du Yuqi fell face down on the ground, his back hurt by the stones. He was completely defenseless at this time. The monster in front of him was so close that it could kill him with just one blow from its tail. However, a smile appeared on Du Yuqi's lips, because his tactics were successful, which meant that the strange insect would not have the chance to deliver the final blow.

The secret of everything lies in Du Yuqi's previous position.

When he screamed and exposed his position, he happened to be standing two meters in front of the hole in the woodcutters that was flashing with electric sparks. So as long as he successfully fell backwards and prevented the monster insect from hitting him, it would mean that the temporary trap was successful - the terrible monster insect slammed into the hole in the mecha, and then began to enjoy the crazy baptism of the crackling electric light inside!

Of course, this trap also has a lot of variables in it. For example, the current leaked from the damaged lumberjack is not very harmful at this moment. Another example is that the outer shell of this terrifying monster insect has super high insulation... But there are many times in life when you need to take a gamble. At least when the idea just came to him, Du Yuqi felt that he was 70% sure to take the gamble.

After falling to the ground, Du Yuqi immediately heard the "crackling" sound of electricity and the loud "booming" sound coming from the broken mecha behind him, as if someone was smashing the broken mecha with a hammer!

Du Yuqi rolled over quickly and stood up, then he was pleased to see that the trap he had set was working properly: the horrible monster insect plunged into the hole in the mecha, and was burned by the flashing electric current inside. Although the monster insect was ferocious, disgusting, and extremely powerful, it was stuck in the hole and could not get out for a while. It could only struggle and crash into it frantically, causing even the broken metal plates of the sawmill to make a teeth-grinding "crunching" sound!

"Huh." Du Yuqi let out a long breath and began to look at the weaknesses of this strange insect like looking at the part where pork is cut in the vegetable market. But at this moment, there was a sudden muffled "bang" sound, and then a black smoke rose from the inside of the mecha, and then the electric light went out all of a sudden.

"No way!" Du Yuqi was stunned. After the electric current was no longer restrained, the mecha started to make a series of crackling noises, and parts were scattered all over the floor, as if it had been disassembled. This showed how powerful the damn monster insect was.

Then Du Yuqi was very unwilling to see that this abominable monster insect actually broke free from its restraints, raised its head and stood on the ground stubbornly again. However, Du Yuqi also keenly discovered that its injuries were even more serious.

The previous injuries were just a few cracks on the carapace at the waist, but now it was like an egg shell that had been hit hard, with cracks all over it, and the carapace at the core was almost completely shattered. The light yellow sticky body fluid flowed out continuously from the inside of the body, burning the grass on the ground and making it squeak, and smoke kept coming out.

The broken mecha has been completely destroyed, and the surroundings have returned to silence. Therefore, for Du Yuqi, his footsteps will be detected by this strange insect at any time, and the two sides are once again in a stalemate.

However, the fear and panic in Du Yuqi's heart had gradually disappeared.

The reason behind this is actually very simple. Although this strange insect looks very ferocious and terrifying, and its strength is also extremely strong, it was completely played around by Du Yuqi all the way during its pursuit. It almost stepped into any pit or fell into any trap it saw. Under such circumstances, Du Yuqi naturally looked down on it.

Secondly, fear comes from the unknown. Du Yuqi has almost figured out the strength of this strange insect at this time, but it is still far from being able to crush him. No matter how powerful the enemy is, now that he knows its strength, the fear in his heart is certainly not that strong.

Of course, more importantly, this strange insect itself had a big problem and was seriously injured. The yellow liquid flowing from its body was obviously similar to human blood, and it had been flowing out without any cost. Facing such an enemy who was still getting weaker, although it was a strong enemy, it naturally had the confidence to fight.

At this time, Du Yuqi looked at the strange insect, clenched the machete in his hand, and began to circle around it. This was originally a way to deal with poisonous snakes, but who said that this strange insect looked a lot like a snake? So naturally he learned and put it into practice.

Feeling that the enemy was circling around it, the strange insect immediately felt uneasy and tried its best to point its head towards the enemy. However, for a reptile like it, it was really difficult and strenuous to maintain such behavior. After all, without legs, it would suffer a lot in such circling movements!

Watching this strange insect following him in circles with great effort, with the pale yellow liquid (worm blood) on its body flowing down like water, Du Yuqi suddenly felt like he had succeeded. He even thought maliciously that it would be best if it just kept bleeding to death.

Unfortunately, life is not always smooth sailing. In the next second, the huge monster quickly swam a few meters on the ground, then stretched its head towards Du Yuqi and bit him! Although its crawling speed was not slow, it was not as explosive as when it slapped the ground with its tail before. So Du Yuqi could barely keep up with this speed, and concentrated on slashing with the machete in his hand!

With a dull "clang" sound, the blade of the machete slashed on the head of the strange insect, but was completely blocked by the hard shell on its body surface and even had the momentum to bounce back. Fortunately, Du Yuqi had already taken advantage of the situation to dodge and avoid the attack.

After fighting for a few rounds, Du Yuqi discovered that he seemed to have a talent for swordsmanship!

At first, Du Yuqi was very clumsy in using this machete, which was actually normal. However, as he used it several times in actual combat, he could clearly feel that his technique had gradually become more proficient, as if he had worked hard in the relevant field many years ago, but had not touched it for too long. At this time, as the battle progressed, the instinct lurking in his body began to revive...
