Chapter 13 Silkworm Baby
Chapter 13 Silkworm Baby
But at the same time, this thing is actually a useless skill. After all, the human world is extremely harsh. Therefore, although Leng Xiyao upgraded it to level five without hesitation, she still felt extremely painful in her heart. After all, these nine skill points were wasted on the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm!
Wouldn’t it be great if you could learn some practical skills?
Passive skills require two skill points for each level up after level five, so going any higher would undoubtedly be an extremely wasteful act. Fortunately, the environmental resistance at level five was enough for her to withstand the severe cold, so she asked Da Huang to protect Qin Menglan and walked towards the extremely cold lake alone.
"Ah, you get what you pay for. This place isn't that cold anymore~" Walking in the severe cold, Leng Xiyao felt that it was no different from being in a mild area before, and couldn't help but sigh.
Soon, Leng Xiyao arrived at the lake. Even the ice sculptures had never reached this place, but she reached it easily.
"All I have to do next is jump in, right?" Looking at the bottomless lake, Leng Xiyao felt unsure. She squatted down and stretched out her hand to feel the water in the lake, but the lake water, which was composed of liquid at who knows how many degrees below zero, still could not cause any effect on her.
Thinking that the entire lake was made up of this cold liquid that had no effect on her, Leng Xiyao was possessed by her martial spirit and jumped directly in.
Come to think of it, she had thought that after the spirit possessed her, she would be able to switch between human and insect forms similar to Sister Kai. However, nothing would happen after the spirit possessed her. Except that she herself could deeply realize that her physical fitness was dozens or hundreds of times stronger than before the spirit possessed her, and her pupils would turn purple, there was no substantial change.
The skill [Environmental Adaptation] currently gives her five bonuses, namely heat resistance, extreme cold resistance, underwater resistance, poison resistance and gravity resistance. That's why she dared to jump directly, as naturally as a fish returning to the water.
After jumping into the cold pool, Leng Xiyao continued to move forward towards the target cave according to the previous 'navigation' instructions. While walking, she did not forget to take out the storage soul guide to fill some water. The water in this cold pool was secreted by the ten thousand year old cold marrow. It would definitely not be cheap if she sold it outside. Even if she kept it for herself to consume and use it to practice spiritual energy, the effect should be good, right?
Hmm? Practice?
Leng Xiyao suddenly realized something. It seemed that she didn't need to take this thing away. She could just start absorbing it here!
Thinking of this, she did not continue to swim towards the target location, but floated in place, stretched out her hands, and two small black holes appeared in her palms. Then the entire cold pool rushed towards Leng Xiyao like a bathtub with the plug pulled out!
No matter what the item is or how high its level is, only one tenth of it can be converted into her psychic experience. The rest is absorbed and converted into hive points. This thing is like a combination of crystal ore and gas. It can be used to unlock technology, accelerate the hatching of the swarm, and purchase Zerg hero eggs, provided that the corresponding prerequisite technology is possessed.
For example, it takes fifty hive points to build a worker bee, but it takes 500,000 hive points to unlock the genetic sequence of a 'worker bee'; it's like the combat units of the swarm. In addition to unlocking them, you also need to find a way to improve their combat effectiveness. The combat effectiveness of the units that have just been unlocked is similar to that of a soul master. If you want them to have stronger combat effectiveness, you need a huge amount of resources to make their genetic sequences more powerful.
While feeling shocked, Leng Xiyao was also glad that she had chosen the method of cultivating psychic energy. After all, things that could be bought with money were not rare, and the method of cultivating psychic energy was obviously not something that could be learned just by having money.
Looking at the number of insect nests that were rapidly increasing by tens of thousands, Leng Xiyao felt that she was not far from becoming rich. However, if the money was spread out among all the infrastructure unlocking and simple upgrades, even tens of millions did not seem to be enough.
As the rate of absorption increased, the entire cold pool began to drop at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it was about to reach the bottom.
Taking a deep breath, Leng Xiyao did not rush to absorb the remaining cold liquid, but waved her hand to open the panel. Her tense face finally couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I'm rich, I'm rich! I don't have to worry about cultivation resources anymore!"

The harvest from this wave is huge. The psychic power that I had to sell everything I had to reach level 29 seemed to have been directly allocated to me from level to level with this wave.
It just so happened that she had the bonus of a psychic fanatic, which gave her an extra 20% gain. It was an unexpected surprise that a cold pool could give her so many benefits!
It seems that even if we can't find the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, we will still make a lot of money this time.
In line with the principle of not wasting, Leng Xiyao collected all the remaining cold liquid using the soul guide to see if she could use it to water Qin Menglan's flowers or something, or at least sell it for some money.
After taking away all the spiritual liquid in the cold pool, Leng Xiyao discovered that there was a path at the bottom of the cold pool. It seemed that just as she had imagined, there was no cold pool in this place. It was only because the breath of the ten thousand year old cold marrow leaked out that this place was formed, and it gradually became a forbidden area.
Walking along the underground path, for some reason the originally freezing temperature suddenly began to rise slowly. The further I walked inside, the hotter it felt inside and outside, or even a little warmer?
“This is this!”
After walking for a long time in the huge empty cave, Leng Xiyao finally found her target when she turned a corner: a silkworm that was sleeping while gnawing on a crystal.
That’s right, this thing can be considered a silkworm basil. After all, its skin is so smooth and delicate, its body is so elastic, and with that cute face, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a big pillow.
At least Leng Xiyao's girlish heart was blown away by it, and she wanted to take it home to use as a pillow. Why would she still want to collect its spirit ring?
But she still didn't forget the important matter, so she thought about whether she should go forward to wake it up or wait here for it to wake up, but the system suddenly responded:
"Congratulations to the host for discovering the native Zerg hero - Tianmeng Ice Silkworm!"
