Monster life starting from picking up materials

Covered in bright flames, the mantis began to tremble all over, fell to the ground and flapped its wings. Just as it put out the flames, it felt a chill all over its body.

Ji Jie attacks again.

The queen hissed and retreated, swung the silk thread and hooked it with her abdomen, picked up the scattered building materials on the ruins of the city, and completed a centrifugal dislocation.

It distanced itself again, and the building materials that were thrown towards it were shattered and exploded.

After smashing the building materials, Ji Jie restrained the flames and used his claws to step on the thread connecting the mantis' tail.

It flapped its wings, and a large cloud of dust flew towards the ruined city, and with a breath it started a sea of fire.

"There's no fourth round."

Ji Jie took a leisurely step forward, with his back against the bright sea of fire of the burning ruins city, and the arrogance of the Flame King Dragon was displayed to the fullest.

The Mantis Queen let out a sharp roar and waved her front claws to break the silk thread, but she did not charge towards the Flame King Dragon. Instead, she turned around and fled without hesitation.

If it wants to escape, it will be difficult for the Flame Dragon to catch up.

But the electric dragon, also known as the electric mosquito swatter, is not difficult to chase.

Flap your wings, dive, change direction and collide, just do it a few more times.

Scratched, bitten, and burned, the scarred Mantis Queen has reached the end of fatigue. Her mobility has deteriorated significantly under pursuit, and she has become panicked and at a loss as to what to do.

It turned, but failed to gain distance and was caught by the electric dragon's pincer-like tail. The strong electric current ran through its body and it lost the ability to resist.

With a flick of her tail, the Mantis Queen was thrown to the ground and fell backwards, with smoke coming out of her body and her limbs twitching.

Eat, unlock forms, and build your own ruins city!

Ji Jie, who had captured the Mantis Queen, rubbed his front claws and rushed back to the ruins.

The mantis respects females, but the mantis does not divide its totems according to gender, which allows it to retain its gender after transformation and become an undoubted male mantis!

After returning to the ruins, he saw a group of mantises gathered in the ruins of the city where the flames had been extinguished, with a female mantis in the lead.

After transforming into a mantis, he can distinguish the gender of mantises.

Most golden mantises are male, and female mantises are not golden from the beginning, but rely on preying on male mantises to deposit pigments that turn them golden.

After the queen's death, the female mantis began to emit pheromones that belonged only to the queen...

The new queen looked at him, and the pheromones she emitted became stronger and stronger, while the other male mantises showed their hostility with their fangs and claws.

He was far ahead in both size and appearance, and he directly won the heart of the new queen, but he was an outsider, and his fate would only be to become food after mating.

Very mantis-like.

Ji Jie could feel his body being stimulated by the new queen's pheromones, but this was not acceptable. He had no intention of accepting the social concepts of Ge Mantis.

Then, the male mantis's body swelled and burst in the raging flames.

Under the might of the Flame Dragon, this branch of the Mantis tribe began to migrate towards the northeast.

Chapter 303 The true meaning of the ruined city.

A golden mantis, so golden that it was dazzling, lay on its back on the ground, its limbs twitching slightly, as if it was dead, but also as if it was not dead.

“It’s so difficult—”

Ji Jie sighed with mixed feelings of grief and anger.

There are two wonderful things in the world: dismantling other people's Gundams and assembling your own Gundams.

He had already experienced the former, but for the latter...what if part of the material had to come from his own body?

What if the material is tattered and has no symmetry at all?

What if there are not enough materials and no drawings?

Beautiful things become torture.

Making and operating the ruined city was not as difficult as he had imagined. What really tormented him was that the materials of the structure were messy, asymmetrical, and imperfect.

The semi-finished product created by the Mantis Queen already has an outline and can be naturally modified by the brain.

But he burned all the threads with fire. It looked cool, but the formed outline turned into tatters.

Broken bricks and stones, rotten metal, broken bones, without any regular shape.

Using this pile of rubbish to pursue the perfect outline in his mind is simply challenging his aesthetic taste and reshaping his rational logic.

Is it really that difficult?

You can do it if you work hard!!!

Looking at the tattered silhouette hanging upside down above his head, Ji Jie hooked a nearby silk thread and turned over his body, crossing his arms across his chest.

After enough rest, let’s get on with it.

He climbed up by grabbing the silk net that wrapped around the ruined city.

The mantis has no wings and cannot fly, but the silk net it weaves is a scaffolding that is even better than its flying ability.

Spinning silk, spinning silk, spinning silk.

He used silk threads to hook up pieces of building materials and glued and tied them to the ruins.

The previous battles and fires destroyed many of the building materials in the ruined city, but the materials used to build the ruined city were already in tatters, so there was nothing wrong with being a little more tattered.

Bricks and stones from the broken fortress walls, stones and small parts from the cracks in the ground, and bones left behind by passing monsters.

It's just junk anyway, just used for training.

After no longer putting in the effort and entering a state of slacking off, the season ends are piling up faster and faster.

He had no intention of building the ruins city according to the Laoshanlong template, so he would just do it as efficiently as possible.

It still uses the Dragon-Slaying Spear as its spine, but the four legs have become three, and it even has no head or tail.

Key joints and the sole of the foot are specially constructed with metal cores to support movement.

The movable parts were padded with bones between the stones, and they also transformed into giant horn dragons. They found some sulfur in the fortress to produce heavy oil for **.

Both the inside and outside are wrapped with a large number of silk threads and layers of buckles to minimize the risk of disintegration.

Because the material was tattered, he spit out a lot of silk threads to reinforce it. There were so many that when the monsters in the middle turned into other monsters, they subconsciously tried to spit out silk threads.

The cab part was constructed entirely of steel bars. The thick silk threads at the joints of each limb were precisely separated and hung through the skylight gaps in the steel bars. He made special use of the principle of leverage.

The sun set again, and Ji Jie looked squarely at the junk that had consumed his time for a week.

This is a tripod with only three legs. Compared with the Queen's ruins, it is small and simple.

No matter how ugly it is, it is his creation, so it must be——

Ugly but kind of cute.

Xu City is the nest and throne of the Mantis Queen. Mantis may have spent her entire life perfecting Xu City.

He didn't put in as much effort as Queen Mantis did, he just built Gundam because he wanted to do it.

Even the Gundam of Mantis is called Xucheng, so his can only be called Tucheng.

But just the thought of doing it took him a week.

"Well, no matter what, it's my own creation, so open it and take a look!"

Ji Jie failed to weave the golden cocoon. His desire to spin silk had been reduced to the extreme, so he went straight into the cockpit.

There was also a golden cocoon ball in the cockpit, which contained the "Black Dragon Investigation Report" that he had retrieved from the mantis colony's nest, and some not-so-clean human jewelry.

The front claws and forelimbs are responsible for controlling the two forelimbs of the "Tucheng", while the abdominal tail is responsible for controlling the hind limbs which are mainly used for support.

Get moving, my ruins city!

The terrifying force belonging to the king of the beetle species pulled at the silk thread.

Left and right, the three-legged construct made a sound of structure breaking.

Bones are being crushed and stones are being worn away.

The front legs were lifted up, and pieces of parts fell from mid-air.

The front legs fell from the air, and more internal structures shattered and fell out.

But it didn’t fall apart, that’s success!

After marching in place for a round, he began to try to move forward slowly, pulling the silk thread of his right front foot downward and backward at the same time.

Before the balance supported by two legs was destroyed, the three-legged construct took its first step!

The structure was in **, Ji Jie stuck his head out and began to judge the stability of "Tu Cheng"'s limbs.

Still within the threshold, so next is the left forelimb!

"boom!"

Due to insufficient materials and the inability to achieve symmetry, the stability of the left forelimb is obviously weaker than the right forelimb, and a large number of parts and fragments are shaken off.

Moreover, as the second step, the left forelimb not only has to bear the turbulence of the first step, but also has to move farther than the right forelimb in order to complete the movement.

As long as it doesn't disintegrate or fall down, the rest can be temporarily reinforced!

Ji Jie rushed out, swinging the silk thread around on his left forelimb, and then returned to the cockpit.

The shattering of the structure never stopped, but the pair of amethyst eyes revealed a fanatical look.

Next was the hind legs. The third step had to be more careful. He even turned the direction in the cockpit and chose to use the front claws to control it as a safety measure.

The hind legs were raised, and "Tucheng" also had a serious tendency to tilt to the side, which scared Ji Jie so much that he quickly relaxed his raised hind legs.

The hind legs, having lost their pulling force, were instantly captured by gravity and fell to the ground with some deviation.

"Tucheng" is tilting to one side, slowly but unstoppably.

This is not possible!

Ji Jie swung out instantly, grabbed the silk threads that had been prepared outside "Tu Cheng", and began to explode by pulling the silk threads connecting "Tu Cheng".

The huge strength of the mantis saved the structure that was about to fall, and it carefully adjusted several silk threads to make "Tucheng" stable again before relaxing.

"If there's enough material, quadrupeds have a higher tolerance for balance when walking."

"Or maybe give it a tail as a crutch?"

His two mantis arms rubbed against each other as he thought about the action templates for his other forms.

Perhaps, a three-legged structure is unnecessary, two legs and a tail that drags the ground will do!

There is no need to slow down the pulling of the two front legs, the faster the better!

Thinking of this, he hung up his hind legs, dismantled the joints inside the hind legs to reinforce the front legs, and then filled the hind legs with a large amount of perfunctory soil and rocks, turning it into a tail dragging on the ground.

Yes, that’s how it should be done, constantly strengthening and transforming the ruined city during the action!

This is not about assembling a Gundam according to a blueprint, but about improving the Gundam bit by bit along the way.

Ge Mantis also did not have a template of the ruined city in its mind at the beginning. It gradually improved through continuous transformation and improvement.

Just like life, no one has the best template at the beginning.

Comparing the ruined city he encountered with the ruined city in the game, the mantis queen he hunted didn't go far on the road.

A larger Mantis Society and a larger ruins city will definitely exist!

While improving his dilapidated city, Ji Jie wanted to pick bigger and bigger peaches.

304

Chapter 304 Witness.

After modifying the hind legs into a tail, Ji Jie observed the fragile structure and reinforced it, which did not take him too much time.

After understanding the true meaning of the ruins city, he began to devote his heart and soul to his own ruins city again.

Ji Jie wasn't sure whether this was a good thing, but he knew very well that he couldn't bring this hard work back to the New World.

Although it was interesting to observe the hunters and human society, the New World was the starting point of the journey, and he also felt that the New World was home.

According to the original plan, he would follow the returning boat to the original continent. If the guild still planned to form a second group, he would follow the second group back to the new continent.
