Chapter 052: Water and Fire Combine
The next morning, Shen Zheng went directly to the entrance of the deep cave. The soldiers guarding the entrance had been notified yesterday that the dean had completely opened the cave to Shen Zheng, so they did not stop him and directly opened the entrance for Shen Zheng.
Entering the deep cave, Shen Zheng took a deep breath and closed his eyes to experience the feeling in his mind. But this time, that wonderful sixth sense did not appear again. It seems that the power of the mysterious insect in the brain is not in the eyes of these insects in the deep cave now, and there is no desire to devour and absorb them.
Find it slowly by yourself. Shen Zheng sighed, opened his eyes and went into the deep cave.
Along the way, he encountered a group of lance bugs, several thorn claw bugs, as well as some common bugs such as explosive bugs, blade-foot bugs and drum bugs. He had no interest in these bugs. Although he had never obtained the insect ability of the drum bug, he did not need the power to simulate the insect breath into a heavy hammer.
Because the steel armor and impact force of the steel beetle are similar to the heavy hammer, and completely superior to the heavy hammer, Shen Zheng does not need to add such a useless ability. [
After turning a few places, Shen Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up. He found some strange insects at the corner not far ahead. He quietly touched over and found that they were five clawed insects.
This kind of insect is not big, only more than one meter long, and the insect strength range is between 50 and 60. It is a piece of cake for Shen Zheng now.
This kind of insect has a trick of surprise attack-their sharp claws are segmented and can suddenly extend five times, which has a very good effect in battle.
I have always relied on "swallowing" insect eggs to gain insect abilities, but these times I directly fought with people and insects, and I gained the power of fire and water. Does it mean that I don’t need to rely on insect eggs in the future, but can gain strength just by fighting with insects?
Let’s try them!
Thinking of this, Shen Zheng rushed out quickly, with powerful insect breath surging on his body, and pounced on the insect swarm without hesitation.
The five arthropods immediately felt the threat and screamed one after another. Two of them reacted faster and directly supported their bodies with two pairs of hind claws, and stabbed forward with two pairs of front claws.
Shen Zheng kept moving, and the insect breath instantly simulated into steel armor. The sharp claws of the arthropods pierced it and made a clanging sound, but they could not penetrate half an inch at all. Shen Zheng punched the arthropods, and his fist was wrapped in steel armor. With a strong impact, the forelimbs of the arthropods were instantly smashed to pieces. He was already rushing forward and swung his arms, and the insect breath simulated into a sharp blade, instantly dismembering the two arthropods.
The other three screamed, as if they felt the power of Shen Zheng, and immediately fled around. Shen Zheng raised his hand and fired two prisms to kill two of them, and chased after the last one.
The one ran madly, but was easily chased away by Shen Zheng. It immediately stood up and stabbed out its front claws while roaring.
Shen Zheng stared at the pair of claws, took a deep breath to restore the insect breath to normal state, and let the claws pierce into the insect breath.
Although it was only restored to normal state, it was still difficult to break through with the insect power of the claw insect. The sharp claws only pierced into the insect breath for a few millimeters and could not move forward half a centimeter.
Shen Zheng concentrated his mind and felt the power of the claws entering the insect breath, but to his disappointment, he could not absorb the power of the claw insect like before.
Is it only effective against energy attacks?
Shen Zheng thought a little depressed, raised his hand and killed the claw insect with a sharp gun.
Is there any insect in this cave that can attack with energy? Shen Zheng looked around and didn't hold much hope.
There was still time, so he turned around in the cave again. A map of the route ahead would be generated in his mind at any time, so he didn't have to worry about getting lost. He simply explored the cave while searching to understand its internal structure.
Here, he found some other insects, but unfortunately, they were all physical attack insects. He tried to fight a moon blade insect, but still got nothing, so he had to exit the cave.
After breakfast, there was still some time, so he stood in the yard and tried to practice the water power that he didn't study in depth last night. As the insect breath surged, the layer of water film quickly covered his body and wrapped him up. Immediately, he felt that the air he inhaled seemed to be filtered by the water film, becoming more fresh and moist. [
Try the power of fire again.
Thinking of this, he slowly transferred the insect power in his body to the fire attribute. Immediately, the water film insect breath released from his body suddenly burned like oil, turning into a ball of fire that wrapped him up. The air he breathed in also immediately became hot, but it was within his acceptable range.
Wonderful power.
He looked at the fire burning on his body and couldn't help but smile: If he suddenly used this power while walking on the street, I'm afraid that people on the street would scream and desperately call the fire department, right?
Suddenly, an idea came to him: the power of water and fire are contradictory, but what if they are used together?
He slowly sensed the insect power in his body and experienced the genetic memory generated by the two powers in his brain. Finally, he made up his mind, maintained the power of fire on the left side of his body, and used the power of water on the right side of his body.
Instantly, a wonderful scene appeared - the left half of his body was surrounded by blazing flames, like a man on fire, while the right half of his body was covered with a layer of flowing water film. In the middle of his body, with his nose as the midline, there was a hazy insect breath dividing line, where the fog was diffused and blurred.
This is... Shen Zheng looked at the insect breath dividing line in the center of his body in surprise, and suddenly took back all the power of water and fire, and then slowly raised his hand.
The power of water and the power of fire were emitted from his palm at the same time. In that moment, water and fire were adjusted together and turned into a new thing - fog.
He looked at the surging fog in his palm with surprise, and slowly waved his arm. The fog moved with the movement of his palm, and continued to spread during the movement. Not long after, he was surrounded by a fog. He moved his mind and wandered around. The fog moved with him, gradually covering the entire courtyard.
Wonderful power. He sighed inwardly in the fog.
But it seemed useless, and he was a little depressed. The fog made others unable to see him clearly, but he couldn't see others clearly when he was in it.
Wait! Suddenly his expression changed, because he suddenly found that when he concentrated, he could clearly sense everything wrapped in the fog - the flowers and plants in the yard, the walls, the dormitory where he lived, everything formed a clear three-dimensional picture in his mind. He carefully experienced it and found that these things seemed to be held in his hands, and he could fully sense their subtle changes.
Insect breath!
He suddenly understood - these fogs were all transformed by his insect breath, just like a part of his body. As long as he used his heart to sense, he could of course sense all the objects wrapped in it through them.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get excited - if this ability is used in battle, how powerful would it be? Imagine that others can't see you, but you can clearly sense the position, status, and every move of others...
This is just like the advantage of the Zerg underground!
In joy, he quickly retracted the insect breath, and the fog that enveloped everything quickly absorbed his body, and the courtyard was still clear and bright.
I can't be so careless next time. He thought to himself. What if someone saw it, how can I explain it?
At this moment, he suddenly had a strange feeling again. He couldn't explain what it was. Anyway, he felt that his body seemed to become more substantial. He carefully felt it and suddenly found that the insect power in his body seemed to be stronger than before.
Is the insect power increased? He almost couldn't believe his feeling.
How could it be so easy to increase again? He was suspicious and finally decided to test it. He left the courtyard and went all the way to the dormitory area of the first class of the new grade, and found Lafite in the dormitory. [
"Is there anything I can help with?" Lafite changed his previous attitude of opposing Shen Zheng and came over enthusiastically.
"Can I borrow your insect power analyzer?" Shen Zheng asked.
"That's no problem." Lafite nodded hurriedly and ran to the cabinet to take out the palm-sized thing.
Rafi also occupies a dormitory by himself, but he is not as extravagant as Shen Zheng, and has a small room with a private courtyard.
"Where can I buy this kind of thing?" Shen Zheng asked, looking at the analyzer.
"If you need it, I'll give it to you." Rafi happily stuffed the insect power analyzer into Shen Zheng's hands. "This is a foreign product, much better than the military products sold on the market, and it's not easy to buy."
"Isn't this a bad idea?" Shen Zheng said.
"You saved my life, what's the big deal?" Rafi smiled, "Just don't hate my previous behavior."
"We are all human beings, and we are all classmates, what's there to hate." Shen Zheng smiled faintly, and did not refuse again. After asking about the use of the analyzer, he put the analyzer in his pocket, said goodbye to Rafi and returned to his dormitory.
Rafi was somewhat disappointed. He wanted to see the test results of Shen Zheng. But he also knew that Shen Zheng did not test in front of him because he didn't want people to know his details, so he naturally wouldn't bother himself and make trouble.
After returning to the dormitory and closing the door, Shen Zheng followed the most accurate self-test method, held the insect power analyzer, and input his insect power into the analyzer's special place for absorbing insect breath. Soon, the analyzer's phantom screen lit up. In addition to some functional images that Shen Zheng did not understand, in the most important and conspicuous area, two numbers started to grow rapidly from "00" and rushed up all the way to 90.
Over 90!
Shen Zheng was excited, but in an instant, the new excitement diluted the excitement in front of him.
Because the number on the phantom screen finally stopped at 95.
95! ?
Shen Zheng's hands trembled with excitement and he almost dropped the analyzer on the ground. He took several deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
Be careful, be careful, maybe I saw it wrong? Maybe there is something wrong with the analyzer? Let's try again.
He followed the method Rafi had taught him to test others. After pressing a few buttons, he placed the insect power analyzer on the table and pointed it at himself. After a while, a light flashed on the analyzer's phantom screen. He ran over to take a look and it was still 95.
That is to say, I, a freshman, have surpassed Yun Tianfeng, the best senior student in the academy who is about to graduate. Not only have I surpassed him, I have also surpassed all the instructors in the academy...
According to Director Su, I am now qualified to become the head of the academy, and I can be recommended to join the Longxing Corps and be trained as the next Corps Commander.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that everything was so unreal. Not long ago, he was just a poor worker, but now, he is qualified to become the director of the academy and the next Corps Commander of the Longxing Corps...
It is better to keep a low profile. He thought to himself. What if such a smooth promotion arouses suspicion from others?
For safety reasons, don't make it public.
