Chapter 647: Chapter 405 Efficient Hunting_2
The western part of the Silent Wilderness was nothing special, much like other areas of the wilderness, filled with nuclear radiation and some urban ruins.
"Maybe not westward, just a misdirection," Ji Xinghuo pondered. The intelligence of the Earthquake Level monsters was already very high. They couldn’t be treated like ordinary monsters but as formidable enemies.
Moreover, since its last appearance was already 20 days ago, this information was likely outdated.
"Let’s start searching," Ji Xinghuo mumbled to himself, shaking his head.
With over twenty million square kilometers of wasteland to search for a single Earth Devouring Worm, it was akin to finding a needle in a haystack.
Even though his Perception was exceptionally strong, with Electromagnetic Induction combined with Dark Perspective from the Supreme Dark Magic Ball forming a god-like view, his search efficiency was hundreds of times higher than others, finding the target still depended on luck.
Fortunately, there were many Earth Devouring Worms in the Silent Wilderness, though it was uncertain how much Spiritual Origin Ability they provided.
At that moment, Ji Xinghuo spotted a store ahead.
It specialized in selling Flying Motorcycles, different from those on Earth, capable of low-altitude flight, making it the best means of transport in the Silent Wilderness, staying aloft to avoid many dangers.
Hunters continuously entered the store, buying Flying Motorcycles and flying out.
"Buy one as a cover, and for convenience," he thought.
Ji Xinghuo walked into the store.
Soon, he was flying a black Flying Motorcycle he had bought for over 5000 True Dragon Coins, with two side cases attached to the back. He had also bought some supplies and stored them in the cases, flying out of the gathering place alone.
There were many Solo Hunters like him, drawing no particular attention.
Leaving the stronghold, Ji Xinghuo flew in the southwest direction.
Boom, boom, boom...
In the deep rumble of the engine, the Flying Motorcycle maintained an altitude of about 20 meters from the ground, racing along guided by the navigation.
Ji Xinghuo activated the autopilot and surveyed the ground below.
When he first entered the wilderness, the land was very desolate, with only a few bushes and weeds. As he went dozens of kilometers deeper, the vegetation gradually increased, sparse forests appeared, and the terrain became undulating. The wilderness was not completely flat and also featured mountains and rivers.
Ji Xinghuo’s gaze penetrated the ground, making the earth transparent in his view. Though covered in black shadows, it was clear enough to see the underground conditions.
At its deepest, he could even see down to a thousand meters!
And in a larger area, with a radius of 15 kilometers centered on himself, everything within the reach of his Electromagnetic Induction was mapped in his mind, all under his grasp.
"Earth Devouring Worms?"
Ji Xinghuo immediately made a discovery.
He steered the Flying Motorcycle towards the target, quickly closing in.
Low-Rank Earth Devouring Worms tended to live in groups. With evolution, as their strength increased, they would begin to live solitarily, even consuming their own kind.
Before he got close, Ji Xinghuo’s gaze pierced through the ground. About two hundred meters below, three Earth Devouring Worms were lurking.
They had the appearance of worms, only trunks without limbs, but magnitudes larger than worms—the largest one over seven meters long and more than a meter in diameter, the other two also over five meters.
"One is Superior Level, two Elite," Ji Xinghuo assessed the Earth Devouring Worms’ conditions, judging their rank by their energy responses.
Earth Devouring Worms grew extremely fast, with average strengths much higher than common monsters.
Suddenly, the largest Earth Devouring Worm moved.
"Such keen Perception!" Ji Xinghuo was somewhat surprised.
On his way, he had read data about Earth Devouring Worms, among which their powerful tactile sense was most noteworthy.
All Earth Devouring Worms possessed "Cave Micro Touch"; when they lurked underground, they relied on this super-strong tactile sense to detect prey passing over the surface, then silently surfaced and launched an attack.
Even though Ji Xinghuo was over five hundred meters away and flying in midair, the engine noise of the Flying Motorcycle transmitted into the ground, producing an extremely faint vibration that they could detect.
"This is definitely more than just Cave Micro Touch," he thought.
"It must be related to the geological environment here, making them extra sensitive to vibrations."
Ji Xinghuo pretended not to know, continuing to fly past.
The three Earth Devouring Worms moved rapidly underground. They all possessed the "Earth Tunneling" ability, with the thick soil acting like water, bypassing obstacles in their path, moving silently, rapidly surfacing to the ground.
Just then, Ji Xinghuo’s Flying Motorcycle arrived.
The leading Earth Devouring Worm suddenly raised its head. Its front end emerged from the ground, then split open to reveal a terrifying large mouth lined with sharp fangs, launching a massive gray-white mucus at Ji Xinghuo in the sky.
The mucus was as large as a water tank, shooting out at high speed, like a cannonball blasting towards the sky.
Meanwhile, the gravity within several hundred meters around suddenly increased.
The Earth Devouring Worms possessed the ability to change gravity, and furthermore, their effect of increasing gravity could be stacked, often released simultaneously when hunting targets.
The other two Earth Devouring Worms increased the gravity, spraying gray-white mucus from different directions.
The flying motorcycle abruptly sank.
Carrying Ji Xinghuo, it was like prey trapped in a web.
But in the next second, with a boom, Ji Xinghuo accelerated with the flying motorcycle, breaking free from the Earth Devouring Worms’ gravity field. Three clumps of gray-white mucus exploded behind him, but none touched him.
Boom!
The sky brightened, and thunder roared.
Three bolts of Spiritual Energy Lightning struck down, hitting the three Earth Devouring Worms, instantly turning the weaker two into charred remains.
The strongest Earth Devouring Worm let out a strange howl, about to retract back into the ground when Ji Xinghuo reached out through the air, lifting up the entire ground with an invisible force, bringing the massive worm’s body into the air as well.
Upon arriving at the Silent Wilderness, Ji Xinghuo had discovered that the soil here was exceptionally rich in metal, abnormally so.
By manipulating metal, he could control objects through the air.
The Earth Devouring Worm, lifted into the sky, hadn’t even hit the ground before Ji Xinghuo shot it several times with a distance pistol, and gray blood burst out.
By the time it hit the ground, it was thoroughly dead.
[Spiritual Source Ability +75]
"This much?"
Ji Xinghuo was overjoyed. Just from a Superior monster, he had absorbed 75 points of Spiritual Source Surge.
The other two Elite Level ones also had more than 30 points.
This was even more than the spiritual energy provided by the Feeders, averaging at least 15 points higher!
"This trip was worth it."
Ji Xinghuo piloted the flying motorcycle downward, landing in front of the more than seven-meter-long Earth Devouring Worm, feeling somewhat awestruck.
The skin of the Earth Devouring Worm was brown, covered with a layer of rock skin, exuding the smell of soil, which was not unpleasant and similar to the usual scent of mud. This scent camouflaged them, making them even harder to spot, but to Ji Xinghuo it was useless.
He placed his hand on it, and the information interface popped up.
[Monster: Black Ring Earth Devouring Worm]
[Level: Superior]
[Alien Species: Rock Skin, Trauma Transfer, Rapid Recovery, Mucus Spray, Cave Micro Touch, Earth Tunneling, Gravity Mutation]
Six alien species, all of good quality.
Ji Xinghuo also examined the other two Earth Devouring Worm corpses. The alien species were similar, just a few less.
Then he faced a dilemma.
The body of the Earth Devouring Worm was too massive, making it troublesome to collect alien species.
"Can’t waste it." Ji Xinghuo eventually began to harvest as well, reasoning that it was illogical to kill prey but not take the alien species.
He swung his Electric Potential Battle Blade to slice open the worm’s corpse, cutting out the hidden alien species and tossing them into the side box of the flying motorcycle.
Then he took off and continued onward.
Not far off, Ji Xinghuo spotted two more Earth Devouring Worms.
He deliberately approached making noise, attracting them to surface from underground to attack, easily killing them, harvesting spiritual energy and collecting alien species.
The efficiency of electromagnetic search was too high, no matter how deep the Earth Devouring Worms lurked, they couldn’t escape Ji Xinghuo’s eyes, and he spared none he discovered, which significantly delayed his progress.
However, Ji Xinghuo relished this.
Compared to the elusive Earthquake Level Earth Devouring Worms, he preferred harvesting spiritual energy, which was more tangible.
It would be best to find Earthquake Level Earth Devouring Worms, but it didn’t matter if he didn’t.
With this mindset, Ji Xinghuo walked and stopped intermittently, occasionally making detours, and only progressed less than three hundred kilometers in half a day.
But his gains were substantial.
On his first day in the Silent Wilderness, he harvested more than 8000 points of Spiritual Source Energy!
"What a wonderful place!"
"If it weren’t for other matters, I could wipe out the Earth Devouring Worms from the Silent Wilderness clean..." In the evening, Ji Xinghuo looked up at a sky starkly different from Earth’s and couldn’t help but sigh.
