Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Caterpillar's Killing Moves and Compound Killing Moves
Mark was not hiding far away.
The Caterpillar glanced over and could even see the reflection of Mark's eyes in the moonlight.
After so many days, couldn't these green caterpillars guess that their owner had been hiding in the tree?
The Caterpillar shook its head. For some reason, it once again felt that the caterpillars here were stupid.
It's obviously stupid enough, how come its fellows are even stupider than it?
After a dozen breaths, the caterpillars in the back finally completed the encirclement and joined up with the caterpillars in the front to form a siege.
The caterpillar never moved and just stood there.
In the past, he would feel some pressure when faced with this kind of surrounded situation.
And this time, he felt surprisingly relaxed.
Without much thought, seeing the swarm of green caterpillars rushing towards him, the green caterpillars attacked at the same time.
[Impact (Charge Power Attack)], Charge Power Enhanced Version!
The Caterpillar gently arched its body, and as it gradually lowered its center of gravity, a faint green fluorescence appeared on the surface of the Caterpillar.
After forty-seven years of continuous practice in the dream world, Mark and Caterpillar further optimized and improved [Impact (Charge Power Attack)].
In addition to the basic instantaneous cannon-like impact, a more advanced "charging" technique has been developed, which is more powerful. The disadvantage is that it takes several to ten seconds to charge before launching a move. It is okay to attack a target, but it is difficult to use when facing an opponent of equal strength.
To use the Caterpillar's own words, it is to further gather and accumulate that warm current, and then release it all at once.
As the warm current continued to gather, the caterpillar's body began to feel a tearing, numbness and pain, and the feeling became increasingly intense.
call--
Considering the excessive power of this move, it is possible to kill its own kind.
The caterpillar did not accumulate the warm current to the limit of its body. As it released the warm current, its bow-shaped body tilted in an arc and shot towards the sky. Then the angle was transformed into an emerald green bomb that fell rapidly diagonally downward!
Boom! !
The ground cracked, forming a pit with a diameter of more than two meters. Green energy was released wantonly, forming something like a shock wave. Dozens of caterpillars were blown away by the shock wave.
Although the caterpillars farther away were not blown away by the shock wave, they were also knocked over by the impact.
In fact, this is because the Caterpillar is worried about killing its own kind, so the impact position is a little off, otherwise the effect would be better.
Of course, compared to the forty-seven years of practice in the dream, the method used now still has many problems.
The first is the time it takes to charge. Compared to the use in the dream world, the charging speed in reality seems to be much slower, and there is a sense of unfamiliarity.
It should discuss this with Mark and optimize the charging time.
In addition, after falling from the sky and hitting the ground, the Caterpillar found that its head was a little dizzy and various joints of its body were aching. Obviously, its body had not adapted to the reaction force of this impact.
So, next it should improve the strength of the body...
[Impact (Instant Attack)]!
While thinking, the caterpillar's body suddenly became blurry.
A leader's guard rushed to the Caterpillar and launched an [Impact], but only hit the air.
The next moment, a shadow gradually became clear, and the caterpillar appeared behind the leader's guards.
Bang!
The speed of the [Impact (Instant Strike)] was very fast and the power was not bad. The leader's guard was knocked several meters away before rolling in the grass and stopping.
Compared with the test of the charged version of [Impact (Charged Power Attack)], Caterpillar is more satisfied with the test of [Impact (Instant Attack)].
It did not pursue the leader's guard any further, but shuttled lightly among the swarm of green caterpillars, and occasionally used [Impact (Instant Attack)] to appear behind some targets that tried to attack it, so that it could strike back in advance.
It's different now.
It found the reason why it felt relaxed when surrounded by a swarm of green caterpillars.
Caterpillar still remembered the last battle. Every time he used [Collision (Charged Power Attack)], he would be attacked one or two times from time to time.
And now, it would be difficult for it to get hurt even if it wanted to.
[Impact (Seven-stage Combo)]!
The caterpillar jumped lightly in the grass and bushes. Its body was like a green lightning, flashing continuously in the battlefield. In a very short time, seven caterpillars were knocked away in succession, causing a chain reaction. The caterpillars behind were also knocked to the ground.
The caterpillar felt the warmth in his body.
Compared to its previous confusion, after forty-seven years of practice, it has a clearer understanding of what this warm current is.
This warm current is a kind of energy related to the skill [Impact].
In fact, not only [Impact], but also its [Silk Spinning] and [Insect Bite] that it just comprehended all have their own energy, but the energy of the latter two is very small, and it is difficult for it to feel it.
Today, it is no longer the same as before. It only passively awakens and stimulates this warm current through the [Impact (Charged Power Attack)] technique.
It can now actively influence and control the warm current to a certain extent.
The warm current stimulated by the powerful attack is extremely solid, and there is a feeling of continuous compression. Specifically, it is compressed into a point and then explodes.
The warm current used in the instant attack is floating and there is a feeling of constant vibration during the stimulation.
The warm current of multiple combos is mainly reflected in the flow rate and circulation extension.
The final hard and soft penetrating strike gives a feeling of the fusion of strength and roundness.
While thinking, the Caterpillar changed the order of his moves and warm currents.
This time, it first guides the change of the nature of the warm current, and then allows the body to adapt to the changes of the warm current and match the moves.
As for why the Caterpillar did this, it was because it wanted to use a compound killing move that it had honed over forty-seven years.
——Impact·Five-shot Strike!
That is, [Impact (Powerful Strike)] + [Impact (Five-shot Strike)]!
Under the control of the Caterpillar, the warm current in its body condensed and extended, gradually forming a solid ring. The warm current circulated in the ring continuously, and the speed was getting faster and faster.
In reality, the caterpillar's body adapts to the changes in the warm current and its posture changes naturally.
Similar to the charged version of [Impact (Charged Power Strike)], it crouched again, but this time it didn't crouch very high, and emerald green steam rose from its body surface.
The surrounding caterpillars seemed to sense the danger and subconsciously kept retreating.
Then, while the surrounding green caterpillars were on high alert, the green caterpillar suddenly covered its stomach and rolled over on the ground twice, as if it had a stitch in the side. It then coughed continuously for a while, and the emerald green steam on the surface of its body disappeared.
Obviously, Caterpillar's combined killing move failed...
…
On the treetop a few dozen meters away, Mark frowned slightly as he looked at the condition of the caterpillar.
"I remember this set of combined killing moves. Caterpillar should have been very proficient in using it in his dreams, and it would hardly fail.
Why... I know now. After the Caterpillar's dream ended, it ate a lot, causing its body to grow further. Although it didn't grow much this time, it still grew.
In addition, the Caterpillar also comprehended [Insect Bite] from its bloodline genes.
This growth, coupled with the comprehension of [Insect Bite], caused some changes in the Caterpillar's body. This change had almost no effect on ordinary [Impact] derivative moves, but had a great impact on more sophisticated complex moves."
Thinking of this, Mark shouted loudly: "Green Caterpillar, don't worry about those compound moves for now, just test those common derivative moves."
"Hiss!"
After hearing what Mark said, the Caterpillar stopped hesitating and found that the nearby Caterpillars had approached tentatively, so it used [Impact (Instant Attack)] continuously to create some distance.
After a few minutes, feeling that his body had recovered a little, the Caterpillar rushed back again and continued to practice those common [Impact] derivative moves.
On the treetops dozens of meters away, Mark opened the system panel and kept watching and thinking.
As time passed, Mark frowned slightly.
Not that there's anything wrong with Caterpillar's combat training.
It's the accumulation of experience.
It was fine at the beginning. The experience bar grew very quickly, even faster than before adding points.
However, as more than ten minutes passed, the speed at which the Caterpillar's experience bar increased steadily decreased. After half an hour, the speed at which the Caterpillar's experience bar increased had been reduced to half of its previous speed.
Moreover, the speed at which the experience bar increases is still decreasing.
It's already obvious.
With the increase in strength this time, the green caterpillar received an experience penalty...
