Next, Lin Xiao checked his physical strength, touched his stomach, and felt that he could still give it his all.

Two steamed buns and a box of Dark Dairy milk were projected onto the screen.

Stamina: 450/100

[Mental Strength: 440/100]

Meanwhile, it was eight o'clock in the evening, and night... fell!

The rustling sounds came again from around the safe house.

However, Lin Xiao did not look outside at this moment, but instead synthesized the electric beetle helmet.

"Projection! Composite!"

Four electric beetle helmets were projected, costing Lin Xiao 200 points of stamina and mental energy.

Item Name: Electric Beetle Helmet +10

[Description: Tier 2, a helmet with extremely high defensive capabilities, reducing damage from head attacks. Consuming mental energy allows it to actively unleash a powerful directional electromagnetic cannon (the more mental energy consumed, the stronger the power; maximum 1100 mental energy).]

Brain Protection: Reduces all damage to the head by 50% (damage includes, but is not limited to, piercing, explosive, magical, mental, and concussive damage).

'Directional Electromagnetic Cannon: Within the same space, the electromagnetic cannon will always hit the enemy it sees.'

"The Electric Beetle Helmet is fully upgraded, excellent!"

Looking at his remaining stamina and mental energy, Lin Xiao felt he could continue, so he consumed another 150 points of stamina and mental energy to project and synthesize three Shadow Masks.

Item Name: Shadow Mask +8

Brief Description: Tier 2. After donning the mask, one can create a clone with 450% of the original's attributes. This clone can be controlled at will, and its duration is unlimited. Like a human, it only disappears after suffering fatal damage.

『Link: The backpack is now shared with the main body, so there's no longer a need for the clone to return to the main body to deliver items. Furthermore, the main body's consciousness can now freely travel between the clone and the main body.』

'Shadow Birth: After the main body's consciousness enters the clone, it can control the clone's shadow. The shadow possesses basic intelligence and can stand up. The clone's shadow has 80% of the clone's combat power.'

Stamina: 100/100

[Mental Strength: 90/100]

Physical and mental energy levels have been depleted back to normal.

Lin Xiao looked up at the outside of the safe house. The giant insects were already somewhat afraid of this place. They surrounded it, but did not dare to move forward.

Lin Xiao smiled at them, who were already terrified, and put the Shadow Mask back on. A clone with 450% of the original's attributes appeared behind him.

Consciousness descended into the clone and opened the door to the safe house.

In a flash, he disappeared in front of the safe house.

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of clashing swords, terrified screams, and... the sound of sword energy slicing through bodies could be heard from within the mist!

Thirty minutes later, the commotion in the mist disappeared, and Lin Xiao, holding the green mantis knife, returned to the entrance of the safe house.

Lin Xiao has collected 5500 Source Crystals.

The centipede in the distance realized that Lin Xiao had wiped out all its underlings, and let out a furious roar that echoed through the sky!

Immediately afterwards, a green laser beam, one meter wide, shot out from a distance.

Lin Xiao's pupils contracted, and he instantly moved away from the doorway using his Instant Step.

"boom!"

The green laser struck the safe house with a deafening crash, demonstrating the effectiveness of the safe period's protection.

But this also caused the incoming laser to transform into a cloud of green poisonous mist, which enveloped the safe house.

At the same time, this poisonous fog was continuously spreading in all directions.

The ground was eroded and scorched, and the trees in the misty forest were melted, causing Lin Xiao to move further and further away from his safe house.

Lin Xiao wasn't too worried about his main body inside the safe house; the only thing he needed to worry about now was the clone he was currently controlling.

"Tsk, looks like we can't go back to the safe house for now. This poisonous fog... I feel like I'd melt into a puddle of pus if I just touched it..."

Although the Poison Gland Ring increases resistance to poison, Lin Xiao still dared not try it easily. After all, if the clone was killed, Shadow Mask would need 24 hours to reassemble the clone.

"So..."

Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at the centipede in the distance.

"Looks like we have no choice but to head over there first. Perfect opportunity to test its strength!"

Lin Xiao's eyes flashed, and he used the Instant Step to rush towards the place of the Centipede.

In no time, Lin Xiao reached the centipede's feet and stared at the figure in disbelief.

"So big..."

It has a body that is 999 meters long, and also has limbs that are 9 meters in diameter.

Even a centipede that crawls on the ground can reach the height of a three-story building.

"This guy... he's definitely not the same species as the one I encountered during the day..."

Lin Xiao looked at the centipede's body with some difficulty.

"Hmm? Behind you!"

Just as Lin Xiao was sighing, the cockroach-skin jacket's warning signal reached its maximum, and its location was... right behind him!

Lin Xiao took a step and quickly left the spot.

Immediately afterwards, a burst of purple venom exploded on the ground, corroding a deep pit.

"That was close!!!"

Lin Xiao's heart pounded. It seemed that the centipede had already discovered him, but he was still fooled by its enormous size.

With its massive body obscuring the view, it was extremely difficult for Lin Xiao to find the centipede's head.

"Try this!"

Lin Xiao swung the mantis knife from top to bottom, unleashing a 10-meter-long sword aura that slammed into the centipede's body.

The previous second-tier giant centipede was too agile, preventing the sword energy from having any effect. Now, with the enormous body of the centipede, it is completely impossible for it to dodge the sword energy attack.

But Lin Xiao's expression suddenly changed.

"Ding!"

When the 10-meter-long sword energy struck the centipede's body, it only produced a clashing sound before shattering.

"So tough! The Green Mantis Blade is practically ineffective against an enemy of this strength...?"

Lin Xiao stared at the centipede's shell, which was completely unmarked, and clicked his tongue in amazement.

"It's time to leave..."

This time, Lin Xiao didn't come to fight the centipede to the death, but to test its strength. Now that he knows the green mantis knife is useless, Lin Xiao won't keep bothering it.
