Chapter 38 Hunting
There are many kinds of insects and beasts. In the process of fighting with them, human beings have gradually explored a set of detailed classification system. According to the strength of insects and beasts, they are divided into ten levels.

And the steel soldier worm belongs to the lowest level of first-level worms.

It is worth mentioning that the grade division of swordsmiths also refers to this system. For example, trainee knifesmiths correspond to levels 20 to 20, and those whose soul knife casting progress is below 40% are first-level trainee knifesmiths, [-]% ~[-]% are the second-level trainee knife-smiths, and so on, the sixth-level is the real knife-smith.

Now the steel soldier worm is almost no threat to Lin Ze, so he estimates that his strength level is at least the second level. As for whether he has reached the third level, he will have to fight to know.

According to the map, Lin Ze cautiously walked towards the square, and when he was 500 meters away from the destination, he found traces of the steel soldier worm.

At the same time, there was a rustling sound from behind a broken wall ahead.

Lin Ze immediately dodged and hid behind a boulder, and quietly poked his head out to look at the situation not far away. Under his gaze, two steel soldier insects the size of cheetahs, Shi Shiran, walked out from behind the wall, with scarlet eyes looking around. As the blade-like legs moved, the stones under their feet were chopped into pieces.

The two steel soldier worms were completely unaware of Lin Ze's existence, and patrolled around on their own, stopping from time to time, opening their sharp bloody mouths to bite the steel bars exposed in the stone, chewing them up and swallowing them into their stomachs .

Steel ranks first in the diet of these guys, followed by humans.

Lin Ze squinted his eyes, looked around, and found that there were many huge stones scattered nearby, turning the ruins near the square into a small maze-like existence.

Steel soldiers and worms are not good at climbing. If they really fight, the environment will be more beneficial to him, and they will fall into the siege of worms and beasts.

In the flash of his thoughts, Lin Ze quickly had a calculation in his mind, quickly lowered his body, held his breath and concentrated, and mobilized the Qi in his body to inject it into the white knife.

The translucent hazy airflow wrapped around the sharp blade in a short time.

After condensing the blade, Lin Ze adjusted his breathing a little, then rushed out of the shelter with a stride, his gaze wandered, and he immediately locked the positions of the two steel soldier worms, and rushed to the nearest steel soldier worm in a few steps , before it had time to react, the flickering knife tip had already sunk into its head, taking its life away.

The other steel soldier worm reacted at this time, raised its head and let out a sharp hissing sound, the sound spread far away in the empty ruins, and after a while, the same hissing sounded one after another in the square in the distance, as if responding to a Start tweeting.

This place is not far from the square. Once a battle happens, the Steel Soldier Worm will definitely call for its companions. Lin Ze had expected this, and he didn't panic when he saw this. He calmly killed the remaining Steel Soldier Worm and absorbed the soul energy After that, it was time to take a leisurely look at the distance.

Flying billowing dust slowly rises and floats from the field of vision.

The densely packed steel soldier insects came rushing like a raging tide, flying and smashing the stones and broken walls blocking the way. The momentum was violent and amazing. Lin Ze roughly counted the incoming steel soldier insects at least thirty head.

The speed of the insect swarm slowed down when they got close to the ruins lined with boulders. They immediately noticed Lin Ze standing swaggeringly in the center of the ruins, and opened their huge and sharp pincers, rushing towards him.

There are two huge boulders that are as tall as a person between the two sides. The boulders stand facing each other at a distance of several meters, forming a natural doorway, which can only accommodate two steel soldier insects to pass through at the same time.

The Steel Soldier Worm had low intelligence and didn't care about the surrounding terrain at all. It only cared about scrambling to pass through the boulder, and the situation fell into chaos.

But what greeted them in front was a cold and deadly knife light.

laugh!laugh!
The two steel soldier worms that rushed to the front were killed instantly, and the light of the knife continued to flash in the void, taking away the lives of the steel soldier worms who rushed forward blindly.

The death of the companion immediately enraged the insect swarm, and as more and more steel soldier insects rushed forward, the two boulders blocking the way were quickly knocked away, the gap widened, and a large number of steel soldier insects swarmed in.

But Lin Ze retreated early when he saw that the situation was not good, and started a guerrilla war relying on the ruined walls and the steel soldiers. Can't stop, often the light of the knife will pass by, and a steel soldier will fall to the ground in response.

About 10 minutes later, with the death of the last Steel Soldier Worm, the already dilapidated ruins became even more messy as if a strong wind had passed through, with crushed stones all over the ground.

Lin Ze calmed down his shortness of breath, and without taking a break, picked up the white knife and began to absorb soul energy.

After the insect beast dies, the soul energy will gradually lose with the passage of time, and it will completely dissipate in about an hour, so after killing the insect beast, you must hurry up to absorb it.

After some busy work, Bai Dao increased the steel attribute soul energy by 0.34%, and the total amount reached 0.44%.

"Forging the red lotus requires a total of 36% of the steel attribute soul energy. At the current speed, it will take half a month at the fastest to absorb enough." Lin Ze thought to himself.

The casting time of soul knives is usually measured in years. If a trainee knives master can successfully forge a soul knives within one year, it is already considered excellent, and this is only the formula for low-level knives. longer.

Therefore, within half a month, the casting progress of the Soul Knife has been increased to 36%. This speed is already shocking in the Blackstone settlement. However, Lin Ze is not satisfied with this. too slow.

"You have to hunt higher-level steel soldier bugs!"

The base of worms and beasts is huge, so individuals that are much stronger than ordinary steel soldier worms will occasionally be born, and humans name them elite individuals.

In the classification of insect beasts, elite individuals are usually one level higher than ordinary individuals. For example, elite steel soldier insects belong to the second-level insect beasts.

And among the elite individuals, sometimes even rarer and more powerful individuals will be born, which people call king worms.

In addition to being more powerful than elite individuals, king worms also have the ability to command elite individuals and ordinary individuals of the same group. Therefore, where there are king worms, there are usually a large number of worms gathered.

Whether it is the elite steel soldier worm or the steel soldier king worm, the difficulty of hunting is much more difficult than that of ordinary steel soldier worms, but compared to this, the steel attribute soul energy contained in the two is also richer.

If enough elite steel soldier bugs could be hunted down, Lin Ze would definitely be able to absorb steel attribute soul energy much faster.

"According to the signs on the map, there are a lot of steel soldiers and insects in the square, and there may be elite individuals in them!" Lin Ze secretly guessed.

Before leaving for the square, he searched the corpses one by one and took out the nucleus inside.

Insect cores are an important material for making white knives. If you sell them to the Knifesmiths Guild, you can get a lot of credit points. Originally, the carapace of steel soldier worms is not low in value, but it is too troublesome to carry, so Lin Ze can only give it up.

While Lin Ze was busy collecting insect nuclei, Ding Beiye was listening to the report of his subordinates in the villa of the Ding family in the Heishi settlement 18 kilometers away, and asked after a long while:

"You mean, Lin Ze went to the ruins of C7 city by himself?"

"That's right!" The young man in charge of the report said firmly, "I saw him go out the north gate alone!"

"The kid is tired of living and wants to die?" Ding Beiye couldn't help showing a puzzled expression.

Even if Lin Ze can deal with six or seven steel soldier worms independently, there are often dozens of swarms in the ruins of the city. If you really encounter a swarm, you can't tell who hunts who, what is the difference from courting death?

After thinking for a while, he still couldn't understand why Lin Ze did this, but in any case, this was undoubtedly good news for him.

Thinking of this, Ding Beiye looked ruthless, and said in a deep voice, "Let Wu Weilin go to the ruins of C7 city, find Lin Ze and kill him!"

Wu Weilin is a second-level apprentice knifesmith, and he is enough to deal with a mere newcomer.

"Master, there's no need for that, maybe that guy died in the ruins of C7 city without our help!"

"What if he comes back alive?" Ding Beiye glared at his subordinates angrily, "Why so much nonsense, just do as I say!"

"Yes, it is!"
