Chu Yunsheng felt like he was back in the horror city again. He was like a ghost, wandering in the empty town, shuttling back and forth.
In order to preserve as much of the Yuan Qi of the red-shelled insects as possible, Chu Yunsheng gave up the dark energy gun and used the frost arrows again. When he was in the fog city, he once took back all the bows and arrows from that club.
Whether it was shooting or archery, they were not his strong points. In the end, other than making blueprints and programming, he did not have any strong points. As a conscientious worker in the age of light, those were the "skills" that he used to rely on to make a living. But now, those "skills" that he used to rely on to make a living were useless.
Shooting, archery, riding, and so on, in his original world, he was very far away from these things. He always thought that those were sports that only rich people played. It was a completely different world from him.
Yu Xiaohai's archery was better than his. That was because Yu Xiaohai spent all his hard-earned money on the club in order to pursue a girl, but in the end, he still got nothing.
Chu Yunsheng was a meticulous person. He never wanted to do things that were not proportional to the input and the output.
Honestly working, honestly saving money, honestly trying to beat the CPI, honestly thinking of ways to buy a house, honestly marrying a wife who knows how much a bottle of soy sauce costs, and honestly giving birth to a son or daughter … This was the most realistic portrayal of an ordinary person like him.
However, everything disappeared. His life took a 180-degree turn in the last few days before the end of the world.
He had to learn how to shoot, he had to learn how to shoot, he had to learn how to escape, and he even had to learn how to kill people.
Once again, he proved that he was forced to be a bastard, and it was the same with his skills. He might not be a sharpshooter, but he could skillfully shoot a car-sized red-shelled insect from afar. It was something that could be honed over a long period of time.
If Chu Yunsheng was hiding in the dark, and the red-shelled insects did not move too much, he would still be able to shoot all the arrows without missing.
But if he didn't move, the insect moved, or if the insect didn't move, he moved.
Moreover, if he moved, the insect would also move. In this kind of situation, unless it was a special situation, he would never shoot.
He would never waste any of his energy on useless things.
It was not that he was not generous enough, but he could only get two units of Yuan Qi from a red-shelled insect. The risk was not worth it at all.
One of his least expensive offensive talismans required about fifteen units of Yuan Qi, which was equivalent to eight red-shelled insects.
In this kind of situation where the ground was full of insects, it was no longer like the situation in Shen Cheng city where there were only one or two insects waiting for him to kill. Eight red-shelled insects were enough for him to take the risk of being discovered by a large number of insects.
When he had enough Yuan Qi to make a monster seal talisman, he could finally change his strategy. He sealed a red-shelled insect as a bait to attract the red-shelled insects that were alerted to the presence of the monster seal talisman. This would increase his hunting speed.
Every time the darkness ruled the world again, Chu Yunsheng would quietly return to the fifteen-story building. Chu Yunsheng had done something to this building. From the first floor to the third floor, there was a thick layer of corrosive mucus from the red-shelled insects.
Those annoying rats also came once or twice, but they were blocked by the corrosive mucus, or maybe they were afraid that there were insects hidden inside. So when they passed by this place, they actually took a detour, which made Edgar the black man feel amazed and amazed, it was really incredible.
Edgar respected and feared Chu Yunsheng, this mysterious man who was always hiding behind the armor and cloak. Every day, he would repeatedly use honorifics to avoid offending Chu Yunsheng.
When the darkness fell, he would grill the dead rats' meat, and then stand next to the fire, holding the rifle, acting as a sentry, spending one long night after another in the dark.
Time flew, he stayed there for more than two months. The weather began to get colder, it should be the winter of the age of light. Sometimes, there would be snowflakes falling from the sky, covering the ground.
Edgar's beard grew out, and then he used a dagger to shave it off, and then it grew out again, and then he would shave it off again …
Chu Yunsheng's strength and resources were gradually recovering at an amazing speed. A large number of absorption talismans were filled up one after another, and they were all transformed into level-three offensive talismans in the dark.
The insects were all fire elemental monsters, so the offensive talismans that Chu Yunsheng made were focused on restraining their ice talismans. In order to capture the second purple flame monster, and also to prevent himself from encountering unpredictable monsters when he tried to break out of the encirclement, Chu Yunsheng did not hesitate to spend a large amount of Yuan Qi to make nearly ten ice trap talismans in one go.
The success rate was about 50%.
The amount of Yuan Qi he wasted because he failed to make the ice trap talisman was shocking. Even though he had more absorption talismans, after he successfully made the fifth ice trap talisman, Chu Yunsheng had to stop wasting Yuan Qi.
He still had a third offensive talisman that he needed to make. It was the ice spiral talisman. He had personally tested it on a small swarm of insects. When the ice spiral talisman was activated, all the insects within fifty meters of him would be killed by the spinning ice spikes. Not a single one of them was left!
According to the ancient book, the ice spiral talisman was as powerful as the fire talisman, but when it came to dealing with fire elemental monsters, the ice spiral talisman would be more powerful.
Chu Yunsheng was really scared of the insects that surrounded him last time. Those insects were stacked layer by layer around him, without this kind of offensive talisman, he would fall into the same situation again sooner or later.
But at the same time, this kind of high-level offensive talisman consumed a huge amount of Yuan Qi, and there were even some talismans that he didn't understand the exact meaning of. He had to fumble around, experiment, and make them at the same time. At the cost of wasting a lot of Yuan Qi, he only succeeded in making fifteen Ice Spiral Talismans!
The success rate was only 30%, it was even lower than the ice trap talisman.
Because of this, he had to take the risk to kill golden-shelled insects to replenish his Yuan Qi. Otherwise, the red-shelled insects' Yuan Qi was not enough to support his huge energy consumption.
But even so, Chu Yunsheng still felt that it was not enough. The ice spiral talisman was different from other talismans, it could be used together with sword fighting techniques. It was his best weapon to get rid of the obstacles in his way.
But he had already done the best he could. Compared to the time when he was in Jin Ling city, when the insects attacked the city, there were a lot of dead bodies for him to absorb. But now, he could only rely on himself to kill the insects.
The only thing that made Chu Yunsheng happy was that he was getting more and more familiar with the beast seal talisman. His success rate was almost 100%. Otherwise, he really didn't know how he would be able to get out of the swarm.
He had done some experiments before. Under the double limitation of "Min" and his control ability of Yuan Tian stage two, he could only control ten monsters at the same time. If he tried to control more monsters, "Min" would take control of them, or he would not be able to control them. After all, not only did he need to control them with the seal talisman, but he also needed to fight the monsters himself.
Therefore, Chu Yunsheng gave up on the weaker red-shelled insects. Instead, he looked for golden-shelled insects and green-shelled insects to seal. Relatively speaking, he found that it was much more difficult to catch the green-shelled insects than the golden-shelled insects.
Chu Yunsheng's poor archery and marksmanship could not pose any real threat to these monsters that could fly in the sky at high speed. On the contrary, the number of golden-shelled insects was much smaller than the number of green-shelled insects, but they liked to move underground. So Chu Yunsheng often succeeded in sneak attacks from underground.
Chu Yunsheng had sealed a total of 20 golden-shelled insects and 5 green-shelled insects. Although he could not release them at the same time, he could use them as preparation. Once the 10 sealing insects died in the battle, he could immediately replace them with the sealed insects that were preparing for the battle. This way, he could always maintain the charging formation of 10 sealing insects.
He once thought of using the green-shelled insects to fly across the entire swarm, but when he saw the densely packed green-shelled insects living on the tombs, he gave up the idea. The power of five green-shelled insects was not enough to support him to fight a huge number of green-shelled insects in the sky.
In the end, he used the first Purple Flame Magical Insect as the provocator, and successfully lured out the Purple Flame Magical Insect that he had seen in the east of the town. Then, he used the Avalanche Talisman, the Ice Trap Talisman, and the Sword Fighting Skill to capture this Purple Flame Magical Insect that liked to patrol.
Chu Yunsheng's battle plan gradually took shape. With one purple flame monster as the vanguard and nine golden-shelled insects as the flamethrower team, they would go straight into the swarm and try their best to get to the other side of the swarm. When the number of the sealed insects on the ground was almost depleted, it would not be long before they could get out of the swarm. Then he would use the remaining five green-shelled insects to fly into the sky and make the final dash.
As long as he got out of the swarm, "Min" would not be able to find his exact location. At that time, as long as he found a small town or even a village, he would be able to use the energy shield talisman to hide his presence.
As time passed by, the swarm had already reached the edge of the small town. It would not be long before the area was completely covered by the swarm, so he had to leave.
In the last few days, Chu Yunsheng did not leave the fifteenth floor building. Apart from continuing to nourish the insects that were sealed inside the building, he also used the green-shelled insect's shells that he collected from Jin Ling city to refine the armor. The armor was originally shining with a golden light, but now it had turned into an ancient, solid, dark cyan color, and it blended perfectly with Qian Hong's Qian Bi sword.
He had also prepared an identical Grade-2 Refined Cyan Battle Armor and a Normal-Grade Crimson Battle Armor.
He also prepared some energy shield talismans, they were the foundation of Chu Yunsheng's life.
Edgar was startled by the sudden change of the color of the armor. Fortunately, he was still wearing the red cloak, otherwise, Edgar would have thought that it was another Spuer-Man.
On the last day, the swarm had already engulfed more than half of the small town.
It was a dark night. On the fifteenth floor, there was a faint fire flickering on the firewood that was made from the furniture.
It was not the rat meat that was roasting on the fire anymore. The rat meat had already been eaten by the two of them, so they could only eat the insect meat that Chu Yunsheng provided.
"I'm leaving tomorrow," Chu Yunsheng said quietly after he finished eating the insect meat. Chu Yunsheng suddenly said after he finished eating a piece of meat. He and Edgar didn't talk much, they were just minding their own business.
