Monster life starting from picking up materials

"No, without you, I would be seriously injured."

"Well, and me, if you hadn't stood in front of me, I would have been crushed to death by the wheels. I'm sorry for leaving your sword behind."

The swordsman sighed. After being kicked down, he really didn't have the strength to pick up the big sword, but his own sword was left there and he couldn't get it back.

"Here's the hero's testimony!"

"That'll have to wait until we get back. There are no bards here."

There was no bard, but the hunters naturally hummed the tune of "Hero's Testimony".

Chapter 330 Insight.

"Further improvement in silk-spinning ability and strength."

After sucking the Lixuan Jade, Ji Jie felt the changes in the body of the mantis. When he looked at the ruins, these building materials seemed to have more construction logic in his eyes, and he knew how to make better use of them.

Some details were magnified in his eyes, and when he moved closer, a big sword was hooked out from the ruins.

“Is this an improvement in insight?”

This is much more useful than the ability to spin silk and strength. Insight can be directly linked to learning ability.

The more you discover, the more experience you gain and the more effective your learning will be.

There was no change in the pheromones. He originally thought that he would be able to release pheromones to control the mantis group.

However, insects' special pheromones are directly linked to gender. The male mantis that emits the queen's pheromone...

The thought of having a mantis of the same sex wanting to explore its physiological structure made me forget it.

"The next step is to rebuild the ruined city!"

Looking at the Queen's Ruins City disintegrating before his eyes, Ji Jie couldn't resist the urge to take action. After spreading out the Pansi formation as a scaffolding, he started to work directly.

The disintegration of the Queen's City Ruins was not serious, and the construction of the city ruins this time was no longer starting from scratch.

After a while of clanging, the Queen's City was repaired and stood up again under his control, becoming the outline basis of the new city. His insight allowed him to identify a large number of areas that could be optimized.

He began to gradually replace the Queen's Ruins with his own colors bit by bit. The outline might not change much, after all, four legs are already the best structure.

But there are many things that need to be changed in structure.

The Mantis Queen regards her tail as a means of attack rather than a means of support. In this regard, she wants to retain the characteristics of her own ruined city and fills the tail with a large amount of soil as a supporting structure.

Originally, the Queen's hind legs had backward knees, and the knee joints were connected by convex shields and silk threads, which were more suitable for support and four-phase movement.

With the tail as support, he will replace the backward arched feet with the forward knees of the normal monster physiological structure, so as to greatly increase the speed of movement.

"It's a pity that the Dragon Slaying Spear is broken. I'll have time to look for a replacement in the East Doruma armory."

No matter how you think about it, the Dragon Slaying Spear should have warranty service. If it cannot be repaired under warranty, the merchant should provide a replacement service!

"Ok?"

He sensed something approaching, and when he looked, he saw a brown female mantis approaching the queen's body.

After their eyes met, the new little queen bared her teeth and claws at him, emitting pheromones to seduce him.

It also carried some stolen small parts on its back.

Ji Jie thought for a moment and went into the ruins of the city.

"boom!"

A small metal wheel hit the ground and rolled towards the little queen.

"There are plenty of parts, this is your reward."

The little queen obviously didn't quite understand, but she immediately grabbed the metal wheel and put it on her back, then started to act aggressively.

"boom!"

A super metal wheel was swung by a silk thread and slammed into the side of the little queen, scaring her away.

When Ji Jie's attention shifted away from the ruins of the city for the second time, he looked up and saw the starry sky. A group of hunters approached clumsily, pulling a cart behind them.

Taking advantage of the night?

The greatsword was kicked away and landed next to the body of the Mantis Queen. He also walked away and went to a place farther away from the ruins city to carry out modifications.

When he swung back, the queen's body and the sword had been taken away as expected.

He also turned into a flying bird and followed, and saw the ancient dragon observation ship lowering the crane and transporting the queen's body on the cart onto the ancient dragon observation ship.

Ji Jie flew into the airship and saw the body of the Mantis Queen lying spread out on the airship. The dragon scholars were walking around its limbs, constantly making gestures and measurements.

The honest swordsman looked very happy to have his greatsword back in his hand.

In addition to the queen's body, there was also the body of a male mantis lying on the side. Perhaps it was killed by an outer hunter when he was fighting against other mantises.

He did not feel sad for the other party's death, but instead watched the show with great interest.

"The corpse wasn't completely eaten? Hunters clearly observed the Mantis Queen preying on males."

Some dragon scholars were wondering.

Of course I ate most of it and left some soup for you, Ji Jie thought.

"Perhaps it's the pheromones that prevent the male mantises from harming the queen? I heard that apart from the final attack, the Mantis King spent the rest of his time manipulating the city to fight against the queen's city."

"Well, two pheromones were found on the Mantis Queen. It is almost certain that she has the ability to command the Mantis group."

The supervisor pointed to the male mantis's corpse:

"This is something that male mantises don't have, and the hunters who were tracking the Mantis King didn't find its tribe."

"The gap between the two ecosystems is simply too great. We've tentatively determined that the Queen Clan, with females as the primary, is the normal ecosystem. We'll need to observe the Mantis Clan and the Mantis King for a while."

"Could it be that the Mantis King is born with a genetic abnormality, unaffected by pheromones? His intelligence allows him to rebel against the female-dominated Mantis society, relying on his impressive strength to seize Queen Ruins City and disperse his tribe?"

A scholar raised his hand and proposed a hypothesis, which obviously conflicted with the theory of another scholar that pheromones caused invulnerability, and the two of them glared at each other.

"We can't rule out this possibility, but nothing can be confirmed until we dissect it. For now, we can conclude that this mantis is a special individual born from a unique experience."

The new ruined city is not yet complete, and now is the time when the Mantis King is at his most vulnerable...

The dragon's thirst for knowledge is like human courage, which will lead to disaster if it is excessive.

When only two Mantis Kings have been discovered so far, choosing to kill both of them will undoubtedly disrupt the balance.

"Don't think about conquering them anytime soon. Let's stick to our previous strategy."

The Supervisor recalled this instruction, suppressed his curiosity, and looked at the hunters.

"Let us take care of the Mantis King in the Observation Pavilion. We are really interested in him. He is like a fighter."

Campbell looked at his teammates, with whom he got along well, and decided to continue to accept the investigation mission of Mantis King.

The Mantis King blocked the pressure from the Queen's City for them. If they relied on themselves, they might not be able to escape from the city unscathed, let alone complete the mission. It was natural for them to have a good impression of him.

"Look!"

A scholar was groping in the body of the Mantis Queen, and raised his finger, which was holding a stone that was shining with brilliant golden light.

Very small.

As age increases, a second stone may grow after the first stone reaches its limit, or two stones may grow at the same time in different parts of the body. It is impossible for the stones to be that big at the beginning.

"There really are stones similar to dragon jade. Unfortunately, no dragon elements have been found in the mantis's body so far."

"Although they can't be classified as an ancient dragon species, the wisdom and strength of the Ge Mantis are unquestionable. Among them, the king individuals who control the ruined city are even as threatening as the super-large ancient dragons."

The dragon supervisor sorted out the information and files and made a summary, and finally handed the body over to the hunters who defeated the mantis.

Just as the hunters were distributing the materials, Ji Jie sneaked into the airship's kitchen.

After stealing two bottles of seasoning, he returned to his own city and continued his city's renovation plan.

Chapter 331 Ending.

"Is this the armory of Dondoruma?"

A flying bird swayed and crept into a man-made facility built into the mountain.

When he was following the airship earlier, he saw it land at this location. Now he came over to take a look—

Hey! It really is the armory of Dondoruma!

According to the hunters, there are many armories in the East Doruma area, and several of them are located in the mountains, providing large-scale military supplies to various fortresses.

However, the defense force in this armory was not strong. There were only two people guarding the door, and a dragon man serving as the inventory supervisor, commanding two human warehouse managers.

A military stronghold like this should have a large garrison, right? Or is it relying on a small number of people to enhance secrecy?

If you think about it carefully, military strongholds are mostly defended by hostile forces. Although there are many countries on this land, he has never heard of any trace of war.

On the contrary, the hunting ground for conquering monsters is called the front line.

Yes, in this world, the profits from competing with monsters are much greater than the profits from human internal competition. It is better to expand the cake than to grab the cake internally.

Even if someone wanted to steal large-scale weapons, it would not be possible for one person to do it. Even a hunter could not carry a large dragon-slaying spear. Large-scale actions would inevitably go unnoticed by the guild, and they would not be tracked or prevented.

In order to facilitate transportation, there are often fortresses around the armory, which also means that the defense of the armory itself does not need to be too strong.

As for the monsters, why would they come to the armory?

Steal the Dragon Spear?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Looking at the mantis that rushed in after opening the armory's lift door, the armory supervisor felt that his past thoughts were a bit too arbitrary.

"It's better to have fewer people. No one dares to resist."

Ji Jie looked around and didn't expect that the few people in the armory hid themselves to ensure their own safety as soon as they were attacked.

The reason why he rushed in without concealing himself after scouting the area was that he thought there were still hunters tracking him in his ruins city. Sooner or later they would see the brand new dragon-slaying spear that "came from nowhere" and associate it with the theft of the armory.

Just be direct.

He went straight to the deepest part of the armory, found a dragon-slaying spear, inspected it, and then carried it directly on his back.

Maybe I can bring another one?

Thinking that the hunters did not pay the reward for the body of the Mantis Queen, Ji Jie's moral bottom line instantly became flexible. Another dragon-slaying spear was taken from the wall and clamped between his arms.

As a member of the same clan, the Mantis Queen is his brother, beloved relative and friend.

Carrying a dragon-slaying spear on his back and two dragon-slaying spears between his arms, Ji Jie walked out of the armory with an arrogant step.

"When did it leave?"

"Where did that dragon-slaying spear come from?! Why is it so new?"

The hunters who were observing the ruined city looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.

"Report the news to Dondoruma first."

……

When the heavy snow stopped and spring came and everything revived, Ji Jie's Xinxu City also completed its transformation.

The new ruins city retained the overall structure of four legs, a head and a tail, but the core was moved to the center of the torso, allowing Ji Jie to free up space to weave a larger and more comfortable cocoon.

The head that Xu Cheng had blown up was also reinstalled. Compared to before, Ji Jie also used the discarded dragon-slaying spear as dragon horns, completing the transformation in a majestic direction.

When technology matures in the future, he also plans to install a cannon or something like that on his head as a breath weapon.

The Queen's Ruins City would be vulnerable to hunters climbing up and rushing straight into the cockpit because of the hollow neck. This problem has naturally been optimized by adding a partition to the neck.

In addition, two dragon-slaying spears that he took from the Dongdoruma armory were installed on the lower sides of his neck, forming a twin-mounted structure!

Dondoruma seemed to acquiesce, or perhaps his behavior was still within the tolerance threshold.

For hunters and warehouse managers, losing two dragon-slaying spears was a big deal, but for Dondoruma, it was just losing two dragon-slaying spears.

There were no casualties, and the arsenal was not completely destroyed.

If the arsenal is smashed to pieces, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources, so it can be considered as a loss of money to avoid disaster.
