The fact that only the Cold Flame Jellyfish exists in this 'sky' shows that its strength is by no means simple, not to mention the [ Symbiosis Network ], a characteristic that means if you fight one, ten will come.
Fortunately, they did not show any aggression towards the ground; they simply drifted in the sky like a background element.
After leaving the cliff area, Wen Jing found himself in a slightly rugged layer of solid rock, with dark blue and silvery-white moss creeping out from the cracks and gradually covering the entire ground.
From the perspective of an insect, this is not much different from a person facing a jungle.
Further away, you can see Giant mushrooms the size of streetlights.
Before Wen Jing could even hesitate about whether to try the moss, she soon encountered the second Wilderness Beast she had met in the underground world.
[ Crystal Explosion ] / [ Rock Layer Assimilation ] / [ Periodic Dormancy ] / [ Slowness ]
A dozen meters away, in a crevice of moss, a segmented worm the size of an adult's arm was gnawing at the coral-like, strangely shaped plant growing in the dense moss.
Seeing this, Wen Jing immediately adopted a hunting stance, intending to take both into his mouth.
The transparent shadow drifted toward the worm without attracting its attention.
"Whoosh!"
The moment it entered the danger zone, the worm shot into the worm's body like a bullet.
The skin was easily torn open, and Wen Jing had burrowed into the worm's body, felt as if he had fallen into jelly. He quickly opened his mouth and bit down.
Instantly, cool energy surged into Wen Jing's body through her mouthparts. She had been prepared to be poisoned or frozen, but to her surprise, neither of these things happened.
After eating a couple more bites, the energy I had used up started to be replenished.
It is rich in moisture, energy, and safe and non-toxic.
Influenced by this cool and gloomy environment, it carries a chill that Wen Jing can tolerate, like a mint-flavored jelly.
However, within seconds, the jelly lost its chewy and soft texture and quickly became thick, hard, and dry.
"Is this [ Rock Layer Assimilation ]? How can even the internal structure be completely altered?!"
Wen Jing was stunned; it was the first time she had ever eaten food that 'spoiled' so quickly.
As a low-level segmented organism, the worm that Wen Jing burrowed into his body actually had a stronger will to live than a higher organism with a nervous system, because it had no fatal weaknesses.
Upon being attacked, its body immediately pressed itself against the adjacent rock layer, then rapidly hardened, quickly merging with the rock.
The [ Slowness ] worm doesn't move very fast, but it can use its innate abilities very quickly.
Wen Jing unleashed a burst of eating speed, only to find that the rock body's energy and taste had drastically decreased.
Sensing that the energy was gathering in other places, she instinctively wanted to chase after it and eat it.
"Wait, besides Rock Layer Assimilation, there's also..."
"Bang!"
The worm's energy condensed and compressed within its petrified body, until finally, energy fragments mixed with the worthless petrified form exploded completely.
Immediately afterwards, a small, grayish-brown, translucent insect flew out from the center of the explosion.
"How stingy!"
Wen Jing stared at the small crater where nothing was left, and angrily jumped up and down in the air.
When threatened, it petrifies and then explodes, giving no chance to be eaten!
If she hadn't been eating so quickly, she probably wouldn't have even gotten a single bite of the worm.
What's even more infuriating is that the coral-like plant that the worm was eating was also destroyed in the explosion. If she had known it would turn out like this, she would have taken the coral first.
Having deeply remembered the despicable worm, and just as he was preparing to find its kind nearby to take revenge.
Suddenly, Wen Jing's expression changed as he sensed a sharp drop in the surrounding temperature and the rise of a viscous, Slowness energy field.
Where did the crisis come from?
She quickly scanned her surroundings while abruptly speeding away from the area.
The moment the speed broke through, Wen Jing discovered the source of the energy field that brought the cold and Slowness.
"Silk?"
It was a net made up of extremely fine, transparent threads, so fine that even Wen Jing's body was extremely small.
This energy-structured mesh doesn't need to actually stick to its prey to inflict a negative slowing effect on enemies within its mesh structure.
"It's... underground!"
Wen Jing sensed the presence of the enemy through his gravitational senses; something underground was Extreme Speed approaching.
"Splash!"
The moss filling the underground cracks was suddenly lifted, revealing one, two... eight cold, black compound eyes.
Next came a body the size of a small car, with grayish-white carapace covered in layers of frost patterns, and six pairs of appendages as sharp as icicles.
Giant spider!
Wen Jing, in stealth mode, floated low in the air, observing the giant spider emitting a layer of red light through his glasses.
Although the intensity of the red light is not as high as that of jellyfish in the sky, it can still indicate the danger.
The next moment, the opponent's eight claws moved like lightning, attacking Wen Jing's location without hesitation, completely unaffected by her invisibility.
[ Slowness Silk Web ] / [ Shockwave Positioning ] / [ Ice Cone Chelicera Stab ] / [ Nest Building ]
After scanning the entry, Wen Jing immediately understood that although this guy had eight eyes, he also had echolocation capabilities and was completely unaffected by optical invisibility.
In other words, as long as she still has collision volume, she can be detected by the other party.
Therefore, Wen Jing stopped hiding and revealed himself to fight.
She was planning to evolve her Gravity Silk. Although Gravity Silk and Spider Silk were probably not the same thing, spiders were a type of Wilderness Beast she had never seen on the giant tree. She had just been tricked by the Stingy Worm, so she had to try her luck with this spider.
The small insect raised its mouthparts, and a light different from that of the underground fluorescent plants shone forth, shooting Energy Pulse straight toward the giant spider's head.
Chapter 120
The light from the Energy Pulse was completely different from the ambient light underground, and was closer to the star on the surface. The moment Wen Jing released it, the surrounding fluorescent moss was affected. The light dimmed instantly, and the stems and leaves curled up like living creatures.
The giant spider reacted just as quickly; it suddenly raised one of its forelegs, and a shimmering web shot out.
Instead of intercepting Wen Jing's attack, it precisely covered an area in front of her.
The next instant, the Energy Pulse struck the spider's head, causing its two compound eyes at the top to explode instantly, leaving scorch marks that emitted a sizzling sound and a pungent odor.
"Click click click..."
The spider's mouthparts trembled violently, emitting a sharp sound, clearly provoked.
A layer of frost spread up its lower body, and the cold energy covered the injured area.
At the same time, Wen Jing's advance route was meeting the silk net.
The giant spider's web spiraled through the air, and the extremely fine silk threads, so dense, resembled a bursting flower in the air. But this seemingly romantic silk rain was deadly.
Each thread emanated extreme cold; just by approaching the nearby air, a layer of white frost condensed on the edges of the insect's carapace, and a feeling of stiffness came from its joints. The [ Slowness Silk Web ] began to slow down.
The Energy Pulse shone brightly again, but due to their focused nature, they could only separate a portion of the spiderweb.
The same applies to Wind Blade; they simply cannot penetrate the toughness of fine threads.
Wen Jing's eyes turned icy cold. With a thought, his internal energy erupted, activating [ Extreme Speed ].
"Buzz..."
Leaving behind a Afterimage and a sonic boom, the insect, at the last second, broke through the weakest point within the spider web's coverage area at supersonic speed.
If you're fast enough, you can escape before the wire mesh deceleration field forms.
In his burst state, Wen Jing's speed, even if it didn't reach true teleportation, looked almost like it.
However, a giant spider of this size is also adept at speed, and its movement trajectory was already detected the moment Wen Jing completed its charge.
Its remaining intact compound eyes blazed with ferocity, and its agile icy pincers, accompanied by a biting wind and a whooshing sound, delivered a series of precise slashes towards the small insect's location.
"Good timing!"
In Wen Jing's eyes, the giant spider's inhuman attack trajectory and power were a unique set of advanced combat techniques.
As her understanding of combat techniques deepened, she progressed from learning human combat techniques to learning combat techniques from Wilderness Beast.
This didn't just happen recently; it had already begun to take shape when they first encountered ants on the giant tree and fought with mantises.
The enemies they encountered later were either special types like the Wild Giants, or simply overwhelming in strength.
It was a rare opportunity for Wen Jing to encounter Wilderness Beast like the Frost Giant Spider, whose strength was comparable to hers and which possessed a complete combat system. This gave her another chance to train.
Faced with the icicle-like claws, the insect did not retreat but advanced, its energy bursting forth and transforming into two sharp blades of light, fiercely meeting the attack head-on.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The resounding clang of metal echoed through the quiet mossy jungle, and the fungal carpet closest to the two sides was ripped open by the shockwave, revealing the bare stone walls and dark fissures below.
Wen Jing's Energy-Shaping Weapon clashed violently with the giant spider's ice-spiky pincers, each collision sending sparks and ice shards flying.
The giant spider has a total of six pairs of appendages. In addition to the pair of chelicerae at the front, the other abdominal legs also join in, attempting to use its size and numbers to suppress the spider.
Wen Jing moved like a ghost, dodging and weaving amidst the opponent's fierce and relentless attacks.
The giant spider's 'invisibility' is still a few levels below Luosi's Absolute True Sight in the league. It can see through Wen Jing's invisibility, but it cannot detect the Gravity Silk that surround her.
The Gravity Silk sometimes provide unreasonable directional forces, sometimes stick to the ends of the spider's flailing legs, using the force against it to narrowly avoid various fatal attacks, and even using the pull to create momentary imbalances in the opponent.
After gaining four attribute enhancements totaling 200 points, Wen Jing's explosive power has increased dramatically compared to the past.
