Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Infinite Instant Hit!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss."
The Caterpillar quickly expressed his doubts.
Compared to Mark, it is a little silly, but it is the protagonist of the battlefield after all, so it noticed some things that Mark did not notice.
At this time, there was obviously something wrong with the green caterpillars participating in the siege.
Not only was morale low, there was some panic in the eyes looking at it.
There is another feeling.
These caterpillars seemed to be luring it, luring it into the depths of the caterpillar territory.
Mark pinched his chin lightly: "No wonder the green caterpillar leader has not shown up this time. It may have prepared something to lure you over and ambush you. So, facing this trap set for you, what are you going to do?"
"Hiss, hiss!"
The green caterpillar responded immediately.
This option is easy to choose, and the natural choice is to walk towards the trap. This will also allow it to get more training and gain more growth.
Mark smiled and said, "Then go ahead, I'll pick you up from behind.
Your current strength is obviously stronger than the caterpillars here. It should be no problem for you to break through the layers of blockades and defeat the caterpillar leader, but don't underestimate them.
When you are in a weak position, don't shrink back because your opponent is strong.
And when you are in a strong position, don't ignore the details because your opponent is weak. Even if they can't threaten you, there are still some things worth learning. "
"Hiss!"
The Caterpillar made a struggling gesture and moved deeper into its territory.
Mark climbed up to the treetop in a few steps and followed.
The green caterpillar does not move very fast.
It can be seen that the Caterpillars followed his advice and planned to step steadily into the trap prepared by the Caterpillar leader.
There is no anxiety or uneasiness, only the pursuit of training and growth.
Looking at the Caterpillar's performance, Mark's expression became more and more relieved.
Mark was actually very worried that the Caterpillar's state of mind would change after the increase in points. Specifically, he was becoming arrogant and thought he was invincible.
As it turned out, he was overthinking it.
Instead of getting carried away, the Caterpillar seemed to be working even harder and more serious.
"Is it because of the failure in the last forty-seven years that you became unwilling to give up?"
Mark murmured softly, and saw the caterpillar suddenly turn around and look at him, and gestured at him with its forelimbs, as if responding to his confusion.
As Mark guessed, the reason why the Caterpillar worked so hard was precisely because of the failure in those forty-seven years.
Seeing Mark die of old age had a far greater impact on the Caterpillar's mind than Mark had ever imagined.
The caterpillar knew clearly that its master Mark was an ordinary person, and it was also an ordinary caterpillar, far inferior to the immortal figures like Dugu Qiubai, Lu Dongbin and Li Er mentioned by its master.
So it should work harder, as it doesn't want to see Mark die of old age with reluctance and regret.
In just a glance, Mark and the caterpillar seemed to have had a long exchange and understood each other's thoughts...
"Is this... a telepathic connection?"
Mark pinched his chin lightly, and when he looked at the Caterpillar again, the other party had already moved deeper into the jungle.
Obviously, this state of tacit understanding cannot be maintained for a long time.
Then, the corner of Mark's mouth twitched slightly, and he scratched his head helplessly.
"I've told it several times that the memory of that dream is fake. It's still obsessed with my death in that dream... I'll have to explain it to it in detail later. At least let it understand the principles of the Spirit Control System and the difference between truth and falsehood. It can't be so confused anymore..."
Mark talked to himself, and suddenly heaved a long sigh.
"But having said that, that scene where he died of exhaustion was really hard to accept..."
Mark clenched his fists tightly and was reluctant to loosen them.
Back to basics, he must make it happen no matter what!!
…
Following the Caterpillars forward in the dense forest, the sounds of fighting ahead gradually became less and less, and fewer and fewer Caterpillars participated in the siege.
Just when Mark was thinking that they might have passed through the caterpillar territory and there might not be any traps, a taut silver thread appeared on the treetops ahead.
Compared with the silk thread spit out by ordinary caterpillars, this silk thread is thicker and is as thick as the little finger of an adult human.
Following the taut silk thread, Mark soon found a straight wooden thorn.
The wooden chopsticks are thick and about 70 cm long. They are fixed on the taut silk thread and look a bit like a slingshot stretched to the extreme.
As long as the other silk thread at the back is cut, the wound wooden thorn will suddenly shoot out.
Mark was thoughtful, and suddenly his pupils shrank slightly.
Just a few meters away from this wooden thorn slingshot, he saw an identical wooden thorn slingshot device, which was also in the strung state.
Then Mark saw more wooden spike slingshot devices.
With the bright moonlight, Mark saw above the nearby trees, countless silk threads were intertwined and combined with hundreds of wooden thorn slingshot devices.
Following the direction pointed by the wooden thorns, Mark saw a silver-white object that seemed to be a huge insect cocoon...
…
…
In a clearing deep in the dense forest, the Caterpillar leader and the other Caterpillars were confronting each other.
To be precise, the caterpillar leader was confronting a silver-white cocoon.
The caterpillar leader looked at the figure struggling and twisting inside the cocoon silk thread and cried out: "Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss..."
The Caterpillar leader made a final persuasion.
It first told the caterpillar to never step into the territory of the caterpillar colony.
He then explains that even the powerful Kairos (Big Armor) is helpless against this silk thread, and persuades the Caterpillar to give up struggling.
In response to the Caterpillar leader, there were pieces of silver silk threads falling like snowflakes.
"Ss ...
The caterpillar tilted his head to explain.
In fact, it is not difficult to break these silk threads. When it first starts practicing the hard and soft penetrating body strike, it is trying to break a soft silk thread floating in the air. After mastering the trick, it is really not difficult to break these silk threads.
However, the Caterpillar was confused about one thing, which was how it had just been entangled into a cocoon by a pile of silk threads. It was suddenly entangled without any reaction.
The Caterpillar leader did not answer, but showed an indescribable look.
First I was confused, then I became determined.
brush--
A silk thread was wrapped around the caterpillar leader's body, pulling the caterpillar leader backwards and quickly escaping.
The Caterpillar looked at the Caterpillar leader in confusion, and suddenly felt something. He looked back and met Mark's eyes.
The two minds are in sync and the connection is triggered again.
In the blink of an eye, the Caterpillar had completed the communication with Mark, and at the same time heard the dense sound of breaking through the air.
If it stays where it is, it will then be shot by a spike slingshot trap and turned into a creature called a hedgehog.
At this moment, it has two choices.
The first one is to use [Impact (Instant Attack)] continuously to escape from this trap. Although you will inevitably be hit by the wooden spikes, you will probably only suffer minor injuries.
The second is to use the [collision] killing move, which is a compound type of [collision] technique, which can allow it to escape the trap without any damage.
Since [Impact (Charged Power Attack)] and [Impact (Instant Attack)] are incompatible with each other, and [Impact (Hard and Soft Penetrating Attack)] has not yet found a way to integrate with other skills, Caterpillar currently has a total of two [Impact] compound killing moves.
A [Impact (Charged Power Attack)] + [Impact (Multi-Hit Combo)] that had failed to be used before.
The specific effect is like a cannonball that can turn, continuously bombarding a single or multiple targets, which was named by Mark: Impact·Five-continuous Bombardment.
The other one is [Impact (Instant Attack)] + [Impact (Multiple Combo Attacks)].
This is also the choice the Caterpillar makes when dealing with the wooden thorn slingshot trap!
After dozens of minutes of fighting and adaptation, the Caterpillar has gained more comprehensive control over its body, and it is confident that it can use it successfully this time.
In the blink of an eye, the warm current in the caterpillar's body has been stimulated and changes have occurred.
The warm current extends into a ring, circulates continuously, and then becomes erratic.
The green caterpillar that stayed in place didn't seem to be moving at all, and its body gradually became blurred.
As the dense whistling wood thorns came, the green caterpillars' figures that were still standing on the spot shattered like bubbles, turning into a leaping green lightning, forming a series of blurred afterimages that flashed continuously in the direction where the green caterpillar leader left!
[Impact (Instant Attack)] + [Impact (Seven-stage Combo)] * 7!
——Impact·Infinite Instant Attack!
When the green caterpillar leader, who was being pulled away from the battlefield by the silk thread, realized something, he felt a collision from behind. His body rolled forward in the air, but he was suddenly hit from the front. Then, the collision came from below, from above, from the side, from top to bottom, from left to right, from front to back, from all directions...
In just less than a breath, the Caterpillar leader felt that he had endured dozens of attacks, but he did not notice the attackers from beginning to end. He only felt his body being knocked back and spinning irregularly in the air.
Bang!
The wounded green caterpillar leader fell from the sky. It did not lose consciousness, but it could no longer support itself and stand up from the ground.
Next to it, there was a panting figure, which seemed to be the green caterpillar, but because its eyes were attacked, it couldn't see clearly.
Then, just as it was confused and thinking, the panting figure spoke to it.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss..." (It turns out you're not very good at fighting. It seems that I could beat you before. No wonder you've been hiding behind me these days...)
