Chapter 186
Wandering this abandoned town like a ghost, Chu Yunsheng felt like he had returned to the horror city.
In order to absorb more energy from red-shelled insects, he decided to once again use the frost arrow.
Speaking of the long-range attack weapons, whether it was a gun or a crossbow. They were both something Chu Yunsheng was not good at. When it comes to the skills that Chu Yunsheng had mastered during the age of light, the only skill he had learned was how to write programs.
After all, back then, he didn’t have time and money to get into these luxury sports clubs. He just needed a skill that could help him to earn a decent amount of money, to support him buy a house and probably help him get married soon…
In short, just like most of the people during the age of light, the skills he had mastered from back then were totally useless in this post-apocalyptic world.
However, it all changed after Earth plunged into the darkness. He learned how to fire a gun, how to kill people, eat stuff that was not even considered as food…
The months of experiences he had wouldn’t make him an expert in shooting, but at least, he was able to freeze a red-shelled insect a hundred steps away now.
If he was hiding in the dark, and without being noticed by the red-shelled insect, he could also achieve 100% hit accuracy, as long as the red-shelled insect didn’t have any big movements.
If he didn’t move but the insect was moving, then his accuracy would drop down to half.
If both of them were moving, unless it was in an extremely dangerous situation, normally he wouldn’t shoot the crossbow, because he didn’t want to miss the shot.
Unlike when he was in the horror city, he could no longer encounter a lone red-shelled insect. Many red-shelled insects often stayed in a group on top of the slimy substances. So without having many choices, he took a huge risk to look for a small group of them and attack them.
Only until he had enough Yuan Qi to make a monster seal talisman, did he start to change his hunting strategy.
He summoned a red-shelled insect and used it to lure the other red-shelled insects outside the area of slimy substance. Then he would kill them as fast as he could before the swarm arrived. This strategy instantly sped up his hunting progress.
When the sky once again went completely dark, Chu Yunsheng quietly returned to the 15-storeys high building. He had also made some adjustments to the building before he left. He had spread the red-shelled insects’ corrosive liquid everywhere inside the building, from the ground floor to the third floor.
The mice also came back twice, but every time they were stopped by the corrosive liquid. So soon they all gave up and left.
When Chu Yunsheng returned, Edgar quickly prepared the mouse meat as usual. After Chu Yunsheng finished his meal, he quietly returned to the place next to the campfire and held the gun to watch out the surroundings.
Time quickly passed. Chu Yunsheng didn’t expect that it took him almost two months to prepare everything. The temperature started to drop again and it started to snow. Perhaps it was winter time if it was still in the age of light.
Edgar had already used a knife to shave his beard many times, but it was still growing.
Chu Yunsheng’s supplies slowly and steadily increased in this two month time, the number of absorption talismans and offensive talismans he had also increased.
The insects were fire elemental monsters, so most of the offensive talismans he made were used to counteract the fire element, apart from the glacier talisman. He had also made 10 ice trap talismans.
The success rate of making an Ice trap talisman was 50%, so you could imagine how much Yuan Qi he had wasted.
He had also made a new offensive talisman – The Icicle Whirlwind Talisman, and tested the power of it on a small group of red-shelled insects. Once the talisman was activated, all the red-shelled insects within a radius of 50 meters around him would be penetrated by the spinning icicles.
According to the ancient book, icicle whirlwind talisman was as powerful as Li Huo fire talisman. However, because he was dealing with fire elemental monsters, the power of ice elemental offensive talisman seemed to be more powerful.
Chu Yunsheng was scared of being surrounded by insects in the swarm again. If he didn’t have a talisman that does area damage, sooner or later, he would be trapped in the swarm just like the last time.
Same as the ice trap talisman, the success rate of making one icicle whirlwind talisman was very low.
It was 30%, even lower than the ice trap talisman. In the end, he only made 15 of them.
The only thing that made him happy was the success rate of making the monster seal talisman was rapidly increased. He could almost achieve a 100% success rate.
He had also done a test on the sealed monster. He could only summon 10 monsters at a time. If he summoned more than that, the force of “Min” would start to disrupt or may even take back the control.
So Chu Yunsheng gave up sealing red-shelled insects. Most of the monsters he sealed were golden-shelled insects and green-shelled insects.
In total, he sealed 20 golden-shelled insects and 5 green-shelled insects.
He had thought about just using the green-shelled insects to fly over the area of slimy substances. However, whenever he looked at the number of green-shelled insects that were flying in the sky and even more of them that were resting on the tombs, he gave up the idea immediately.
After sealing another purple flame monster, he had finally finished his long hunt.
His plan was to deploy the insects he had sealed in a formation. The purple flame monster would be at the front of the group, and the rest of 9 golden-shelled insects would spit fire to assist the purple flame monster at the back of the purple flame monster.
In the past two months, the insect’s slimy substances had also spread towards the small town, Chu Yunsheng didn’t doubt that it would spread across the town. So he needed to leave now.
In the last few days before he left, Chu Yunsheng didn’t plan to go out hunting again, he needed to nourish those monsters with Yuan Qi.
“I’m leaving tomorrow,” said Chu Yunsheng after he ate mouse meat.
The night was dark, and the building was quiet. There was a small campfire in the middle of the room they were in.
The faint light and the sound of fire crackles were like a lullaby making everyone feel very sleepy.
Edgar, who was looking at the flickering fire, didn’t seem to have heard what Chu Yunsheng said.
