Chapter 146 143. Advancement
"Come on, Xiao Hei, eat more."
The puffballs with strong acid fillings gathered around Xiao Hei and kept moving towards her, almost running directly into her mouth.
Xiao Hei opened his mouth and a half-chewed piece of puff fell out of his mouth and landed on the ground.
After a long while, Xiao Hei suddenly dropped the Puji in his hand, used his hands and feet to quickly climb up a mushroom tree, and hid on the top of the mushroom cap.
The Pujis couldn't reach Xiao Hei and could only wander around under the mushroom tree.
Seeing this, Lin Jun could only let the noise disperse.
It seems that Xiao Hei's stomach is not infinite. Normally, she seems to be eating non-stop. If you really force her to eat, she will eat... Well, 16 of them.
Of course, for a humanoid creature that is only 1.5 meters tall, being able to eat 16 half-human-high Pujis in a row shows that its digestive ability is quite impressive.
Half a day later, Xiao Hei finally jumped down from the mushroom tree, and refused to eat the strong acid Puji anymore, only eating the ordinary magic Puji with a light taste.
The induction plan failed and the collection can only be done once every two days.
Unfortunately, most of it was gaseous breath, and only half a bottle of concentrated acid could be collected.
After a week, he collected a little over one bottle, and Lin Jun divided the acid into ten portions.
At the edge of the rift, bats flew down one by one.
On the bare rock wall, several nutrient supply tubes woven from hyphae push the fungal blanket to the edge of the mayfly habitat.
And at this position, a platform with several levels of rise and fall was woven, like a bird rack, and the bats were hanging upside down on it one by one.
Seeing that the first batch of Puji were almost in place, three faster Puji flew out.
Although they are all bats, there are actually multiple species coming this time, forming a composite force.
These three are speed-specialized Pujis used as bait.
The three baits flew down for a distance and soon arrived at the edge of the mayflies' territory.
The bottom of the rift is full of mayflies, either in groups or as advanced individuals.
After investigating one by one, Lin Jun chose this place, where the density of mayflies was low and the level did not exceed LV50. Overall, it was a relatively "simple" area for the strategy.
As soon as the three bait Puji appeared in the Qianshu Mayfly territory, seven mayflies immediately flapped their wings and flew over from afar, dragging their bodies in segments.
Mayflies have [vibration perception], and their search range is quite large.
This allows the bait fish to lure the mayflies at a sufficient distance before retreating.
The bodies of the Pujis are really not suitable for flying. Even with the addition of [Acceleration LV6], they cannot compete with natural flying monsters like Qianshu Mayfly.
Since they were not too far away, the three Puji quickly fluttered back to the mycelium platform.
When the seven mayflies caught up, they were greeted by densely packed mushroom cannons hanging upside down on the mycelium racks.
Seven ordinary mayflies less than LV30 were killed almost instantly by the mushroom cannon, and their broken bodies fell straight into the bottomless abyss below.
Lin Jun felt so uncomfortable watching this.
That’s why we didn’t plan to take the rift valley in the first place!
Putting aside the difficulty of the strategy and supplies, after killing the monster, you can't even get the monster's corpse, so there is no benefit at all. It's a complete waste of effort.
After finishing the job, the three bait Puji set off again.
A few minutes later, six more mayflies entered the trap.
But this time, there is a big one at LV41.
It is larger than its peers and has more body segments.
After a round of mushroom bombardment, several other mayflies fell down, but it was still flying in the air, rushing towards the position.
【Salivary Arrow LV5】
A ball of black liquid shot onto its head, and the solid shell was corroded instantly like brittle paper, and the venom fell directly into its brain.
Within two seconds, the big mayfly fell down like its companion.
Since Blackie's venom is limited, it is only suitable for killing high-level units.
In fact, the easiest way is to bring Xiao Hei down. Xiao Hei can also fly, so it shouldn't be too difficult to kill these Qianshu Mayflies.
But the problem is that there is no fixed class with a limited scope below, but a deep area whose exact size is still unknown.
Without the fungus net, after Xiao Hei rushed into the dark and disappeared, Lin Jun was not sure he could find her.
To be on the safe side, let's just endure the pain first.
As all the mayflies on the outermost edge were lured away, the job of luring Puji became increasingly dangerous.
As the distance increased, even though the Pujis tried hard to flap their wings and fly back, the Qianshu Mayfly could barely catch up with the bait Puji.
Seeing that it was getting closer, the bait Puji could only activate his backup skills.
【Wake Jet LV4】
Gas spurted out from under the Pujis, and the two Pujis suddenly jumped up a bit, throwing the mayfly away a little.
But the other Puji was propelled by the jets out of control, spinning in the air like a deflated balloon, and was finally poked by a mayfly and died instantly.
There is nothing we can do about it. The self-control ability of the Pujis is just like that. This skill is used as an emergency measure, and it can give a 60% survival rate. That's enough. Anyway, there are still a lot of bait Pujis...
As the mayflies below were cleared, the mycelium also spread downwards. After spreading about a hundred meters, new mycelium platforms began to form, advancing little by little.
By the way, all the silk screens set up by Qianshu Mayfly must be cleared away.
For this purpose, Lin Jun specially pinched a magic Pooji and cast a fireball to burn the mayfly silk.
…
The next day, after advancing a thousand meters, Lin Jun encountered a fork in the road.
The forked direction seemed to lead to another mayfly gathering place. Lin Jun did not choose to attack both places at the same time, but instead placed a group of Puji here to guard the opening.
Prevent the mayflies from rushing over and breaking the fungal carpet at the rear.
On the fourth day, after advancing almost two thousand meters from the original position, Lin Jun finally saw something different - a nest.
Attached to the foot of an inverted mountain, there is a giant cocoon woven with silk spun by thousands of mayflies.
You can see some mayflies carrying prey in their mouths going in and out of several holes from below.
Not to mention the nest, seeing the mayfly holding its prey, it must be not far from the ground, which made Lin Jun quite excited.
The fruitless battles in the past few days made it almost vomit. From time to time, it would encounter a group attack of mayflies, causing Puji considerable losses.
Fortunately, there were plenty of spare Pujis, and these losses did not delay the progress.
Looking at the nest below, Lin Jun controlled the magic wings and flew up, and formed a big fireball with his hands.
The previous silk threads were burned one by one, but this one gathers the silk threads into a nest, which must be much more enjoyable to burn.
The fireball hit it, igniting a piece of insect silk, which quickly spread.
In less than a few minutes, the entire nest turned into a flaming fireball.
Many Thousand-Spirit Mayflies screamed out from inside, and some that flew upwards were blasted down by the mushroom cannon array that Lin Jun had prepared long ago.
In this case, the strategy for this passage is almost complete.
After that, just a little finishing touches...
The silk of the nest soon burned out, revealing a huge insect body coiled at the bottom of the inverted mountain.
[Race: Thousand-axle Mayfly]
[Level: LV65]
[Fixed state: cocoon, stiffness]
Not long after Lin Jun opened the panel, the last fixed state disappeared in front of him.
The giant worm began to move its body which had not moved for a long time, and red light was reflected on its semicircular eyes.
Although Qianshu Mayfly has no pupils, Lin Jun felt that its eyes were already fixed on the Pujis.
So...what kind of ecosystem is this?
