Chapter 441: Catching Star Eaters
The essence of the hole-digging move is energy activation and re-accumulation. Through the perception of energy, the ground-based energy around the body is instantly activated and turned into water-like active energy, and then these active energy are re-hardened to both sides of the body.
Although Bai Ziyi was able to do this before, he could not be as smooth and free as he is now. He needed to concentrate his attention at all times. If he was accidentally distracted, he might get stuck in the land.
Now, he no longer had to concentrate as much as before, to move smoothly and freely in the rock walls. There is no doubt that this is a huge improvement.
The reason for this huge progress is probably because of his mental power that has broken through the bottleneck. After his mental power breaks through the bottleneck, his control over energy can be turned into a field. With a high perspective, learning a hole-digging move will naturally lead to twice the result with half the effort.
After familiarizing himself with the feeling of his arms moving in the rock wall, Bai Ziyi excitedly put away the metal rod first, and then walked towards the rock wall.
Under the control of his super mental power, except that the foot is still hard, the surrounding rock walls are as soft as water, and moving within the rock is no different from moving in the water.
The hole-digging move was easy to succeed!
After walking around the rock wall for a few times, Bai Ziyi felt that he was almost familiar with this move and could think about moving deeper into the ore veins.
He first repaired the human-shaped pit outside the rock wall, leaving only a few small ventilation holes, and then swam deeper.
While moving around the rock wall just now, Bai Ziyi discovered many small tunnels where star-eating insects were moving, so when he explored in depth, he just needed to follow these small tunnels.
It was a gray area in the vast ground, and it was completely different from the feeling of sitting on the ground thief. Being in the ground thief is like watching a movie, which is quite interesting.
But if I really walk underground, the gray soil around me will look very monotonous and boring.
Moreover, because he followed the tunnel of the star-eating insect, the ore and other energy-rich things along the way had been eaten up by the star-eating insects, leaving only a pile of gravel skins, which reduced many surprises of underground treasure hunting.
Therefore, after walking underground for a while, the novelty passed and Bai Ziyi began to feel a little bored.
Fortunately, this boredom did not last long, and he found the target of his operation, a nest of star insects.
It is said to be a litter, but in fact there are only two adults, one male and one female, and a large number of insect eggs.
Although the star-eating insect has no IQ or territory consciousness, its food protection ability is very strong.
Generally, there can only be one star-eating insect on the same ore resource, and other star-eating insects will be attacked if they are close to each other.
Of course, there are exceptions in this situation, that is, two star-eating insects coexist, one male and one female. Generally, the star-eating insect couple will find two ore very close to live together.
One piece of ore serves as food, while the other piece of ore serves as a breeding ground for insect eggs.
Generally speaking, when the female insect lays eggs, the adults will live around the eggs for about a week, leaving enough food, and the adults will leave this area and head to the next ore-rich area.
Generally, when adults leave three days after they leave, the larvae will be born one after another. They will first chew on the food left by the mother insect until they can swallow ore substances. After chewing on the hotbed ore left by the finished insect, the larvae will spontaneously leave.
At this time, it was only one day before the adults entered this area. The adults had not left yet. The two adults were constantly taking out some small particles from their mouths and piled up around the insect eggs.
Although the star-eating insects that have already eaten enough are very docile and do not have too aggressiveness, there are exceptions. In the week after laying eggs, whether the star-eating insects eat or not, they will attack and invade all the creatures near them without discrimination.
Just like at this moment, the back wings of the two blood-colored star-eating insects were shaking violently, and the two huge and sharp teeth in their mouths were constantly rubbing, which was a warning signal that they were about to launch an attack.
As for this situation, Bai Ziyi, who had just checked a lot of information in the morning, had already expected it.
He came directly to the star-eating insects with lightning speed, and then put the two pieces of potholes that were being eaten into the paradise space.
The next moment, two adults launched an attack and were also taken into the paradise space.
The paradise space can store living things, which he discovered after opening the paradise space for the third month. After the paradise space was opened, he once put two living beetles in and then took them out on the spot, and the beetles were still alive.
So at that time, Bai Ziyi discovered that the paradise space had the ability to store living things, but the creatures after entering the space would fall into a coma and remain motionless.
After seeing the beetle being taken out of the paradise space and still alive, Bai Ziyi put it back, and this time it was a month later that the beetle was taken out again.
However, the beetle removed this time has died, and the cause is unknown. Bai Ziyi guessed that it should have starved to death. Although the beetle is in a coma in the space, the metabolic activities of the organism are still undergoing autonomously.
Therefore, it should be fine to store a certain creature in the park space in a short period of time, but in the long run, it may starve to death.
After putting the star-eating insects in this nest into the paradise space, Bai Ziyi found another small tunnel left by the star-eating insect from the surrounding area and explored it.
Because the two star-eating insects were just moving around, he did not dare to decide whether there were star-eating insects at the end of this tunnel.
Soon the small tunnel disappeared, and at the end of the tunnel was a piece of gravel that had been gnawed. This gravel should have been wrapped in metal ore, but now the minerals in it have been gnawed by star worms.
Although no new star-eating insect was found, Bai Ziyi was not very disappointed.
The activities of the star-eating insects have a certain range. Since the small tunnel stops here and does not continue to extend forward, it means that the farthest range of the star-eating insects in the nest just now is here.
He just needs to avoid the range of movement of the star-eating insects and find a new small tunnel.
As long as you find a new small tunnel, you will likely find the next nest of star-eating insects.
After leaving the radiation range of the star-eating insect, Bai Ziyi continued to wander around at will. At this time, other team members searching on the ground discovered an unexpected surprise.
