Electromagnetic Tyrant Chapter 407

Chapter 407 Efficient Hunting

Silent Wasteland is located in the southern hemisphere of the Black Ring Star.

Ji Xinghuo took a transport plane. After several hours of flight, he crossed the equator, passed under the spectacular planetary rings, and then sailed for more than two hours across the ocean, arriving at a continent in the southern hemisphere.

Looking out of the porthole, the earth is filled with shocking craters.

 Once upon a time, this continent was the most prosperous place on the Black Ring Planet.

 But in the war more than 1,500 years ago, after the only satellite shattered and fell, most of the satellite fragments fell on the continent, completely changing the environmental landscape.

 Most of the original continent of nearly 300 million square kilometers was submerged by the ocean, forming numerous islands of various sizes.

 The Silent Wasteland is located on the largest remaining piece of land, covering an area of ​​more than 20 million square kilometers. The reason why it is called "Silent Wasteland" is because this area is like a dead place compared to other places.

 After being bombarded by meteorites, the entire continent suffered a nuclear attack.

 There are dozens of ruined cities in the wasteland.

 The entire Black Ring Planet is full of similar ruins. Nuclear pollution still remains, which has also caused countless monsters to mutate, making them very dangerous to ordinary people.

 From the first location where the Geophag was discovered to the last, the five known locations where it appeared were all marked on the map according to time.

 There are two to three thousand people in a small gathering place.

Ji Xinghuo listened at the same time and pieced together the fragmented information after a while.

 Soon, Ji Xinghuo caught the key news.

It turned out that the first person to discover the earthquake-magnitude Earth-devouring Insect was a team of three legendary strongmen. 35 days ago, they were attacked by the Earth-eating Insect in the center of the silent wasteland south of , only one came back alive.

You don't need to ask to know that everyone is here for the black-ringed earth-devouring insect.

However, there is a lot of traffic.

Ji Xinghuo walked away.

“Someone must be deliberately spreading the news to muddy the waters. Who the **** is it?”

  “There are more and more people.”

 The second group of people who learned the inside story also secretly joined the hunt. In the next ten days, three teams discovered the target one after another, but all suffered heavy casualties and only a few people escaped.

Ji Xinghuo turned around in the gathering point.

Those hunting teams were almost all led by legendary strong men, and each one was quite powerful. There were also many strong men at the level of kings. The electromagnetic induction only scanned them at random and found seven or eight, none of which were easy to mess with.

 “To the west?”

 The Silent Wasteland is filled with silence.

The last time anyone encountered it was 20 days ago, in the western part of the Silent Wasteland, more than 2,600 kilometers away from the first time it was encountered.

 It can be clearly seen that the earthquake-magnitude earth-devouring insect is moving westward.

 However, no matter how dangerous it is, there are still many monsters active and full of life.

Ji Xinghuo's electromagnetic induction swept through and he could see the entire gathering point at a glance. Stepping on the ground, it felt very hard. The entire underground of the gathering point was cast with steel, with an average thickness of more than five meters. This was obviously to prevent earth-eating insects.

 Because this wasteland is occupied by "Earth Devouring Insects".

Gradually, the news of the earth-eating insects spread completely, and more and more people rushed to the Silent Wasteland.

 “It's not that easy…”

The only survivor was Dan Man. After treatment at the southern stronghold in the wasteland, he began to form a new team to prepare for hunting.

 This is a hunting team that has just returned from the wilderness. They have replenished ammunition, food, water, and repaired their equipment. They are gathering in a private room of a restaurant to discuss in a low voice.

 At least that's how it looks on the surface, but in reality, it's one of the most dangerous areas on the Black Ring.

 However, no matter how difficult the monster is to hunt, it cannot stop the hunter. The exotic value of the Earth-devouring Insect is very high, and strangers venture into the silent wasteland all year round.

“Boss, there's no point in talking about this now. We must find the Earth-eating Insect before others do!”

But things were not kept secret and the news spread.

Ji Xinghuo opened the satellite map on his personal terminal and marked the location.

This stronghold is not big, almost like a small town. There are only two intersecting streets as the main roads, and there are hundreds of buildings on both sides.

“The most important thing for us now is to recruit new teammates and increase our strength.”

 The transport plane landed at the stronghold in the northern part of the wasteland.

On the surface, he was walking around casually, but electromagnetic induction enveloped the entire gathering point. He locked onto a densely populated place like a hotel bar, focused a little, received the sound wave signals caused by those people's words, and translated them into content.

 At the edge of the Silent Wasteland, there are several strongholds.

Ji Xinghuo learned from the words that they had learned about the Earth-devouring Insects more than 20 days ago and went into the wasteland to search, but found nothing and lost two teammates.

This time, he did not bring the branch-antlered cloud deer with him. Firstly, it was too cumbersome to use, and secondly, the conditions in the silent wasteland were not suitable for carrying a mount, so he stored it at a war pet service center at the transit station.

Although there were two round trips during this period, the overall direction was getting closer and closer to the western part of the silent wasteland.

 There were three hunting teams in similar situations.

They are a unique species of the Black Ring Star. They are mutated from a species called "earth-boring insects" in the star world under nuclear radiation. Their scientific name is "black-ring earth-eating insects". They are more terrifying than the earth-boring insects and are difficult to hunt. kill.

However, no one has found the Earth Eater so far.

“What free news, I don't know how many hands it has spread...” He couldn't help complaining as he looked at the people coming and going in the gathering place.

  Ji Xinghuo search information.

There is nothing special about the western part of Silent Wasteland. Like other areas of the wasteland, it is filled with nuclear radiation and some urban ruins.

"Maybe it's not going west, it's just misleading." Ji Xinghuo thought, the earthquake-magnitude monsters were already very intelligent, and they should not be treated as ordinary monsters, but as powerful enemies.

 And it has been 20 days since it last appeared, so this information may have lost its timeliness.

 “Let's look for it first.” Ji Xinghuo shook his head secretly.

 Finding a ground-eating insect in more than 20 million square kilometers of wasteland is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Even if one's perception is extremely powerful, the electromagnetic induction combined with the dark perspective of the Darkest Sphere forms a God's perspective, and the search efficiency is a thousand times higher than others, but whether you can find the target still depends on luck.

 Fortunately, there are a lot of earth-devouring insects in the Silent Wasteland, but we don't know how much spiritual source they can provide.

At this time, Ji Xinghuo saw a store in front of him.

Specializes in selling flying motorcycles. This type of motorcycle is different from the ones on Earth. It can fly at low altitude and is the best means of transportation in the silent wasteland. It can avoid many dangers by keeping it off the ground.

Hunters are constantly entering the store and buying flying motorcycles to fly out.

“It's more convenient to buy one for cover.”

 Ji Xinghuo walked into the store.

Soon, he was riding a black flying motorcycle that he bought for more than 5,000 real dragon coins, with two saddlebags attached to the back. Then he bought some supplies, packed them into the boxes, and flew out of the gathering point alone.

There are many loners like this, and they don't attract anyone's attention.

 After leaving the stronghold, Ji Xinghuo flew southwest.

 Boom, boom, boom…

 Amid the low roar of the engine, the flying motorcycle maintained a height of about 20 meters above the ground and sped along according to the navigation.

Ji Xinghuo turned on autonomous driving and looked down at the ground.

When we first entered the wilderness, the land was very desolate, with only a few shrubs and weeds. As we went deeper than tens of kilometers, the vegetation gradually increased, sparse forests appeared, and the terrain began to undulate. The wasteland was not a flat plain, but also had mountains and rivers. Ji Xinghuo's eyes looked through the ground, and the earth became transparent in his field of vision. Although it was covered with black shadow, it was clear enough to see the situation underground.

 At the deepest point, you can even see one thousand meters underground!

 In a larger range, with a radius of 15 kilometers from itself as the center, and within the coverage of electromagnetic induction, all movement and movement are mapped in the mind and are under control.

 “Earth-eating insect?”

Ji Xinghuo immediately made a discovery.

 He controlled the steering of the flying motorcycle and quickly approached the target.

  Low-level earth-devouring insects are accustomed to living in groups. As they evolve and become stronger, they will live in isolation and even devour their own kind.

Before he even got close, Ji Xinghuo's gaze penetrated the ground. About two hundred meters underground, there were three earth-eating insects lurking.

They have the shape of worms, with only trunks and no limbs, but they are countless times larger than worms. The largest one is only more than seven meters long and more than one meter in diameter, and the other two smaller ones are more than five meters long.

 “One is super-level and two are elite.”

Ji Xinghuo looked into the situation of the Earth-eating Insects and judged their strength level based on their energy response.

Earth-eating insects grow extremely fast, and their average strength is much higher than that of ordinary monsters.

 Suddenly, the largest earth-eating insect moved.

 “The perception is so keen!”

Ji Xinghuo was a little surprised.

 On the way here, he had read information about the earth-eating insects, and the most noteworthy thing about them was their powerful sense of touch.

All geophagous insects have a "cave-micro-tactile sense". When they are lurking underground, they rely on this super-strong sense of touch to detect prey passing by on the ground, and then silently swim upstream to launch an attack.

Ji Xinghuo was more than five hundred meters away from them, and he was flying in mid-air. The sound of the flying motorcycle's engine was transmitted to the ground, producing extremely weak vibrations that could be detected by them.

 “It's definitely more than just a slight touch.”

“It should be related to the geological environment here, making them more sensitive to vibrations.”

Ji Xinghuo pretended to be unknown and continued to fly over.

The three earth-eating insects swam quickly underground. They all had the ability to escape from the ground. The thick soil was like sea water, bypassing the rocks blocking the road. They moved without making any movement and quickly floated to the surface.

 Just at this moment, Ji Xinghuo's flying motorcycle arrived.

The head of the Earth Devouring Insect suddenly raised its head. Its front end poked out of the ground, and then split open, forming a terrifying mouth with sharp fangs on the inner wall. It sprayed out a huge ball of gray-white mucus towards Ji Xinghuo in the sky.

This mass of slime is as big as a water tank and shoots extremely fast, like a cannonball blasting into the sky.

 At the same time, the gravity within hundreds of meters around him suddenly increased.

Earth Eaters have the ability to change gravity, and their effect on increasing gravity can be superimposed, and they are often released together when hunting targets.

 The other two ground-eating insects increased their gravity and sprayed out gray-white mucus from different directions.

 The flying motorcycle sank violently.

 Carrying Ji Xinghuo, like prey caught in a spider's web.

But in the next second, with a bang, Ji Xinghuo accelerated his flying motorcycle instantly and flew out of the Earth-eating Insect's gravity field. Three **** of gray-white slime exploded behind him, but they did not touch him at all.

 Boom!

 The sky lit up and there was a loud thunder.

Three psychic lightning bolts struck down, hitting three Earth-eating Insects respectively, and chopped the weaker two into charcoal on the spot.

The strongest Earth-eating Insect let out a strange roar from its mouth, and was about to shrink back underground. Ji Xinghuo grabbed it from the air, and the entire land was overturned by invisible force, and the huge insect body in it was also thrown away. was lifted into the air.

When Ji Xinghuo first arrived in Silent Wilderness, he discovered that the metal content in the soil here was extremely high, which was abnormally high.

 By manipulating metal, he can control objects in the air.

The Earth Devouring Insect was lifted into the sky. Before it landed, Ji Xinghuo shot him several times with a plasma pistol, and gray plasma burst out.

　　It was already dead when it hit the ground.

  【Spiritual energy +75】

"so much?"

Ji Xinghuo was overjoyed. It was just a super monster, but it had absorbed 75 points of spiritual energy.

 The other two elite ones also have more than 30 points.

This is more than the spiritual source provided by the Dark Eater. On average, it is at least 15 points higher!

 “This trip is right.”

Ji Xinghuo landed on his flying motorcycle. The seven-meter-long Earth Devouring Insect lay in front of him, which made him feel a little shocked.

The skin of the geophagous insects is brown and covered with a layer of rock skin. It smells like soil, which is not unpleasant. It is similar to the common earthy smell. This smell masks them and makes them more difficult to detect, but for Ji Xinghuo Useless.

 He reached out and pressed it, and an information interface popped up in front of him.

 【Monster: Black-ringed Earth-eating Insect】

　　【Level: Superior】

  【Xenogeneic: rock skin, trauma transfer, rapid recovery, mucus ejection, cave micro-touch, ground escape, gravity mutation】

 Six different species, all of good quality.

Ji Xinghuo looked at the corpses of two other ground-eating insects. They were almost the same species, with just a few fewer.

 Then there were some difficulties.

The body of the Earth Devouring Insect is too huge, and it is very troublesome to collect alien species.

"It can't be wasted." Ji Xinghuo finally started collecting, killing prey but not using alien species. Try not to do this kind of thing that goes against common sense.

He wielded the electric potential blade to chop open the insect corpse, cut off the alien species hidden inside, and threw it into the saddlebag of the flying motorcycle.

 Then take off and continue moving forward.

Not far away, Ji Xinghuo discovered two more ground-eating insects.

He deliberately approached them and made noise, attracting them to come out from the ground to attack, killing them easily, harvesting spiritual energy and collecting alien species.

The search efficiency of electromagnetic induction is too high. No matter how deep the ground-devouring insects are hiding, they cannot escape Ji Xinghuo's eyes. They will not let go of any one they find, so their progress is greatly delayed.

However, Ji Xinghuo never gets tired of it.

Compared to the elusive and elusive Earth-eating Insects, he prefers to harvest spiritual energy, which is more practical.

It's best if you can find the Earth Devouring Insect of Magnitude, forget it if you can't find it.

With this thought in mind, Ji Xinghuo stopped and went, taking detours from time to time. In half a day, he only advanced less than 300 kilometers.

 But the harvest is full.

The first day he entered the silent wasteland, he harvested more than 8,000 points of spiritual energy!

 “What a great place!”

"If there is nothing else, I can kill all the earth-eating insects in the Silent Wasteland..." At night, Ji Xinghuo looked at the starry sky that was completely different from the earth, and couldn't help but sigh.
