Chapter 16: Cricket hunting and leaving

　　 No one is born to hunt, but praying mantis and spiders are born to hunt, this is a helpless thing.
　　 However, Systrom's hunting skills can be gradually honed. Although there is no inheritance from the blood, but the human wisdom and the powerful physical fitness of insects, as long as he keeps practicing, he will surely make him an excellent hunter.
　　Similar hunting only needs to go through a few more times, and Sisterm will catch this cricket with his hands.
However, Systrom has no object to practice. Before turning into an adult, his strength is insufficient. Challenges to a strong opponent will undoubtedly make him disabled or even killed; and after turning into an adult, what we will usher in is this torrential and barren world. The prey can be chosen for him.
　　Sisterm shook his head, he came to the cricket hole and tried to get in.
　　 As Sisterm had observed before, the narrow hole really couldn't let his worm's head pass through. If he forced it in, he would be bloodied, and the gain would not be worth the loss.
　　 But after carefully observing the tree hole, Systrom's insect head gradually showed a humane smile.
　　 The shape of this tree hole is very peculiar. It is narrow on the outside and wide on the inside. It is only six or seven centimeters deep. Sisterm even smelled a special smell of mud on the cricket.
　　 As long as the wood near the entrance of the hole is widened, he can successfully penetrate into it and prey on the cricket.
　　While expanding the hole, Systrom just had a way, and that was his biochemical weapon [corrosive slime].
　　 This corrosive liquid can easily corrode the bark, I believe the effect of corroding wood will not be bad.
　　 Although he can spit not much slime, he can recover the sap after corrosion to reduce consumption. It is enough to expand the cricket tree hole.
　　 This cricket hiding in the tree hole is already like a turtle in the urn, and there is no possibility of escape.
　　 The fishy-smelling mucus gradually secreted from Sisterm's chelating teeth, and the opening of the tree hole began to slowly melt.
　　As Sisterm used [Corrosive Slime], the cricket that had been still in the tree hole became a little restless, and his body shivered slightly, moving left and right from time to time.
　　Sistem was also more careful when he saw this, in case the cricket suddenly burst out of the tree hole and let it run away again.
　　 More than ten minutes later, the opening of the cave had been half-opened by Sisterm, and the crickets in the tree hole were quiet in the tree hole as if they had accepted their fate, only the abdomen was still breathing slowly.
　　 Ten minutes later, Systrom successfully bit off the cricket's head.
　　 No fighting took place, because Sisterm secreted the corrosive liquid to volatilize, and this cricket was stunned by the poison gas before Sisterm caught it.
　　 The initial anxiety of the cricket and the sudden silence after ten minutes are logical. It seems that the smell of his [corrosive slime] has certain toxicity.
　　 However, this gas is not very toxic. It takes more than ten minutes to stun crickets in a confined space like a tree hole. It is obviously not feasible to use it as a hunting method.

　　Sistem didn't stop eating, he was eating the cricket carcass while thinking about his next prey.
　　 After the heavy rain, food was very scarce. After thinking about it, Systrom didn't think of what could be hunted, and finally he wanted to return to the two spiders.
　　In the process of hunting crickets, Systrom thought of a way to deal with spiders.
　　 He has a unique advantage over spiders, that is, the ability to fly.
　　 The way Sisterm thought of was to find a stick, then grab the stick, and fly up to stabb the spider with the stick.
　　Sistem certainly didn't think he could pierce the spider with a stick. What he wanted to do was stab the spider into the water.
　　Although the spider can use the silk thread to hang down to prevent it from falling, he can issue two attacks to break the silk thread. The operation is a bit more difficult, but there is a chance of success.
　　 But Systrom can only think of so much. The spider's strength will indeed drop when it falls into the water, but what about it, even if the spider drowns unfortunately, he will not be able to catch it.

　　 Sisterm’s chewing teeth kept chewing. After turning into an adult, the sharpness of his chewing teeth increased. Even the cricket’s strongest skull could be easily chewed.
　　 Compared to ordinary meat, Systrom prefers this crustacean food. It tastes like crisp milk chocolate, a taste experience he has never experienced in his previous life.
　　 ate a part of the cricket's corpse, and Sisterm grabbed the cricket's corpse and flew back into his dead leaf lair.
　　 After some thought, Systrom finally chose to leave here.
　　 He is very familiar with the area 100 meters nearby after these days, and he is sure to live here safely for two months.
　　 But only by walking continuously can he discover more prey and opportunities, allowing him to extend his short lifespan.
　　Sisterm decided to leave the remaining cricket carcasses in the early morning tomorrow morning to feed their hunger, and leave here after eating and drinking.
　　 Compared to the dim night, Sisterm finally decided to explore the unknown forest during the day. After all, his body needs proper rest, and the dim sight at night also makes his exploration efficiency very low.

　　 Before dawn, Sisterm had eaten the remaining cricket corpses.
　　 Early in the morning, Sisterm got out of the dead leaf den on time, chose a slightly higher direction and started jumping forward.
　　 Because of the huge roar of wings, Systrom did not choose to fly. Although there were no birds in the vicinity for a few days after the heavy rain, it was hard to say if it was far away.
　　 Because I have [information read] to observe the danger, UU reads www. uukanshu.com So although Sistem acted cautiously, his moving speed was not slow. Five minutes later, he jumped and moved 100 meters and came to a strange land.
　　[Information Reading] is very efficient. On a decayed and dead tree, Systrom found a few gray-brown mushrooms.
　　 Mushroom is undoubtedly a kind of nutritious food, composed of fungi.
　　 But compared to green plants, Systrom's body is very unfamiliar with the smell of mushrooms, and he cannot tell whether the mushrooms are highly toxic.
　　Although the color of this mushroom seems to be non-toxic, Systrom didn't dare to try it easily. He jumped on the mushroom to observe for a while, and finally jumped away.
　　As Sisterm gradually moved toward the high-lying area, the water on the ground became shallower and shallower. After a few hundred meters, some potholes gradually appeared on the ground.
　　 It didn't take long, just when Sisterm decided to take a break due to the consumption of [Information Reading], Sisterm found a dozen insects he was familiar with.
　　 are more than a dozen ants that are very common in forests. These ants are dark brown and about one centimeter in size. This species of ant, Sistem, seems to have encountered it before.
　　 At this time, these dozen ants were biting a tadpole struggling in the mud. This tadpole was about three centimeters in size after removing its tail, and it had grown its hind legs.
　　 Because the stagnant water subsided, this tadpole was unlucky enough to be trapped in the silt, even if it was not found by the ants, it would not escape death.
　　Sisterm carefully observed the surrounding area, and found that there was no danger, and rushed directly at an ant.
　　 rushed towards the ant colony with his body transformed into an adult, no longer a zebra rushing towards the hyena group, but an elephant rushing towards the hyena group.
　　 He wants to hunt an ant first to try his current skill!
