Chapter 57 A new species has evolved
Insect Control: proficiency in identifying insect traces 27.6/100, proficiency in insect language 14.7/100, proficiency in insect identification 26.4/100, proficiency in catching insects 58.1/100.
Identifying insect traces allows him to detect the traces of insects from clues, and then follow the traces to capture them.
One night's hard work promoted him from beginner to proficient.
His ability in this area has also improved linearly. In the past, he could only track bugs and discover them from some obvious bug tracks.
Now we have the ability to detect them from some hidden insect tracks and follow them.
For example, the scars or insect eyes left on plant leaves after gnawing by insects, or the drag marks and mucus left by insects such as snails, or the feces excreted by insects, the shed skin, etc., can all become He follows the trail of bugs.
With the skill of identifying insect traces at the proficiency level, coupled with the insect catching skills at the proficiency level, he should be able to catch some expensive bugs and sell them, making some extra money.
Insect identification also breaks through to the proficiency level.
This ability is also very important.
It is now possible to identify the gender, species, ability, age, health, etc. of insects.
The number of insect species that can be identified has significantly increased.
And there are two new identification abilities.
One is the insect's ability, he can already identify it. You can tell at a glance whether the bug is good at hunting, whether it is suitable for drilling in the soil, chewing trees, or its ability to fly.
He can identify it.
There is also the health status of the bugs, which he can also identify.
Many people are most afraid of buying bugs if they buy them.
He died after only a few days, and all his money was wasted. Who wouldn't feel bad for him?
With this skill, you can avoid traps when buying bugs in the future.
A bug master has been dealing with bugs all his life. Sometimes when he encounters a bug he likes, he will be willing to spend money to buy it. This makes it very easy to get into trouble.
The insects that dare to be sold are all rare.
The newly learned insect catching skills today have also been promoted from beginner to proficient. The biggest feeling is that the efficiency of catching insects is higher. It is possible to make corresponding catching tools based on the escape methods of different bugs.
Don't underestimate this ability. Many insect masters spend their entire lives making insect-catching tools just to catch a favorite insect.
He should now be able to catch flying bugs, ground bugs, hiding bugs, and jumping bugs.
For example, crickets that are highly priced in the market escape by jumping.
Now, Qin Niu is fully confident to catch them.
After returning home, he ate bear meat, took a bath, and then fell asleep.
The reversal of day and night made him uncomfortable.
This time I slept until noon before getting up.
He took out the sword from under the mat and prepared to take it with him into the mountain.
I feel something strange when I touch it in my hand.
It feels like it is 'sick', as if it is whining silently.
Qin Niu couldn't help being shocked. He lowered his head and took a closer look. He saw that the green lines that originally existed in the blade had become extremely dim and were about to disappear.
He took the sword to the backyard and tried his best to chop at a piece of wood.
boom!
The power is acceptable, after all, it is a fine iron sword that he bought for nine taels of silver.
But this time the knife went down, he could clearly feel that its power had decreased. It was completely incomparable to his peak state the day before yesterday.
Qin Niu's expression suddenly became solemn.
The sword was calling him for help in this silent way.
It finally evolved some special abilities by smearing the blood of the banyan tree, but this ability had just evolved a little bit and was not yet stable. Suddenly, it was 'cut off', making it possible for it to become a mortal soldier again.
Feeding it must be restored.
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Qin Niu went up the mountain with the remaining banyan tree blood.
This blood can be applied to the sword again.
Let’s keep the special ability of the sword first.
Carrying the basket on his back, he took the medicine hoe and the five termites and walked towards the mountain.
Passing by the stream where clothes were washed, several village women saw him and immediately started talking about him.
Aniu, are you just coming out to work now? It's already noon!
You have to be diligent and don't sleep in because of your temper, otherwise it will be difficult to find a wife!
Aunt Yang, you don't know, right? A Niu is very powerful now. I heard that he can sell a basket of fat mud from the mountains for fifty cents! That's as much as five days' wages for my men.
seriously?
The eyes of several women immediately lit up.
I can't say for sure. I just heard from Mrs. Wu of Wang Fu's family. She said that a housekeeper from the Yan family came to talk to A Niu in person and paid fifty cash on the spot. What do you think of a basket of fat mud? Are they so valuable? They are obviously everywhere in the mountains and plains!
Who knows! The Yan family has a lot of money. Maybe they feel pity for A Niu and find some way to give him some money so that he won't starve to death!
If the basket of mud dug by A Niu can be sold for fifty cents, I will marry my daughter Xiuchun to him tomorrow!
Haha... look how much you love money! I may not agree to it then!
Qin Niu paid no attention to the comments of these village women.
Quickly walked past the creek.
This stream is only more than one meter wide. It is spring water flowing from the mountain and is crystal clear.
Villagers usually wash clothes in the stream, carry water to irrigate the fields, and occasionally drink a few sips of stream water when they are extremely thirsty. When Qin Niu was a child, he often caught fish, shrimp and crabs in the stream with other children.
After going up the mountain, he went straight to the ant nest and saw that the ant nest was still the same.
Termites prefer to hide underground or in tree holes, and they won't get out easily.
Even directly seal the exit of the nest.
But they are also very territorial.
Within its territory, it does not tolerate the intrusion of any other creature.
This is a bit like human beings guarding their own country and refusing to give up an inch of territory.
Fourth Brother, bring out those five termites that drink the blood of the banyan tree!
The insect corpses and eggs that Qin Niu had fed yesterday had been cleared away by them.
Considering their small appetite and the small number of ant colonies, he only fed a small part.
He put five termites that he had brought down the mountain to catch insects back to their nests.
Including Lao Wu, everyone was in a very excited state.
It seems they still like to stay in their own homes.
The fourth child quickly climbed out.
There was a soldier ant in its mouth whose tail turned light green.
Along with it came out a young worker ant with a green vertical stripe on its body.
There is a light green vertical stripe in the middle of the body, green from head to tail.
It also had a soldier ant in its mouth.
This young worker ant with green vertical stripes is no weaker than the fourth child in terms of crawling speed and strength.
Qin Niu recognized it at a glance as the young worker ant that had only consumed one-tenth of the safe dose of banyan tree blood.
It only took the little guy more than a day to transform successfully.
It seems that the less blood the banyan tree eats, the shorter its transformation time will be.
good!
Qin Niu looked at it carefully.
Of the two soldier ants that were taken out, only their hind abdomens were stained green, and the color was slowly spreading toward their waists and heads.
Look at this situation, it will take at least one day for it to completely evolve.
As long as death doesn't occur, it doesn't matter if you wait a few more days.
Theoretically, the longer the transformation takes, the stronger its ability will be.
