I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

Chapter 587: Chapter 587: Every Beginning Is Difficult—Troublesome Information Gathering

The giant spider responsible for guarding the entrance to the tunnel had disconnected from itself, leaving only one possibility.

They have all been slain!

Looking at the insects before him, crushed by gravity into pools of liquid, Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel disgusted inside, thinking to himself that the Insect Race must be the most disgusting thing he has ever seen.

[You successfully killed 450 Soul-Devouring Spiders, gained experience *180000, and acquired Poison Fang *1]

[You successfully killed....]

....

Just by looking at the lush forest, one would never guess that this Insect Hive Star is a planet dominated by the Insect Race.

If a human awoke from unconsciousness at the entrance, they might even think this mountainous area is part of Blue Star.

Finding a rock to sit on, Lin Yi took out the positioning Spirit Crystal from his portable space and buried it at his feet.

The scene behind Lin Yi was the same as the Blue Star Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, with a pyramidal mountain standing tall in the jungle.

Unlike Blue Star, outside the connected tunnel, the Insect Race showed no intention of heavily guarding it.

Even Blue Star, where every high-level professional highly values their life, did the creatures of the other two planets have no intention of attacking the Insect Race either?

Indeed.

Among the four bound planets, the Insect Hive Star is the most warlike.

The reason being, nine out of ten enemies faced on the Blue Star Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms originate from the Insect Hive Star, while the other two planets possess decent intelligence and seldom send warriors for ambushes.

Given the Insect Hive Star’s output is just various kinds of bugs, who would want to contest with a swarm of bugs for territory? Such a planet, who would like it?

No wonder there aren’t many insects guarding the entrance to the Insect Hive Star’s tunnel.

As the first human to set foot on the Insect Hive Star, Lin Yi had no related intelligence on the Insect Hive Star.

The only known thing was what the Queen of the Insect Nest looked like.

The Eye of All-Seeing combined with Eyes of Golden Flame could indeed acquire long-distance intelligence yet couldn’t cover the entire Insect Hive Star.

What Lin Yi had to do now was to use the detection Spirit Crystal and the Map Detector brought from his portable space to gather as much of the planet’s general terrain as possible.

[Touch of Reincarnation] can retrieve the enemy’s memory, a handy means to obtain information.

But for the low-intelligence Insect Race, it seems awkwardly useless.

The varied forms of insects had robust life force and physiques but only possessed worrying intelligence.

They would only unconditionally execute the Queen’s orders, knowing nothing about the whole planet or the structure of the Insect Race’s nest.

They mainly executed their actions and life operations according to the frequency of vibrations emitted by the Queen.

Therefore, Lin Yi could only honestly use the map recording device brought from his portable space to gather information about the Insect Nest Planet.

The detection Spirit Crystal is a special kind of Spirit Crystal. Once placed on the ground and activated, it automatically emits special sound waves to capture the terrain within a fifty-kilometer radius and transmits it to the Map Detector.

The whole process takes up to half an hour.

This means that Lin Yi only needs to place enough detection Spirit Crystals on the ground to record the Insect Hive Star’s information into the Map Detector in a concise time.

This is a significant matter for both Lin Yi and Blue Star.

Taking advantage of the Queen not yet dispatching a swarm army to besiege him, Lin Yi took out the detection Spirit Crystal carried in his portable space and placed it on the ground according to the marker calculated by the Map Detector.

The detection Spirit Crystal worked quickly, radiating unique sound waves in an instant upon Lin Yi’s activation, completely recording the terrain based on the reflected information.

Yet right after Lin Yi placed the first detection Spirit Crystal on the ground, a loud commotion came from the dense forest behind him.

Thump thump thump!

From the sound, Lin Yi easily deduced it was the sound of a giant creature rushing on the ground.

Urgent and heavy.

Along with the giant object’s footsteps, there were sounds of collapsing mountains, breaking trees, and birds and beasts screaming in terror.

Peering in the direction of the sound, the Eye of All-Seeing penetrated the dense foliage to capture the creature dashing toward him.

It was a creature similar to the ant lion of Blue Star.

Compared to the ant lion of Blue Star, this monster’s size was unfathomably massive.

Its mouthparts, approximately twice its body length, and its hard shell gleamed dazzlingly in the sunlight. Its six sturdy legs alternated swiftly, unleashing terrifying speed.

Covered with numerous sharp spikes like two long spears, its giant mouthparts mercilessly shattered any object blocking its path.

Seeing the giant insect rushing towards the first detection Spirit Crystal he planted, Lin Yi awkwardly held his head.

”Damn it, how could I forget this!”

Insects are much lower than humans.

But these creatures evolved sensory perceptions for survival that were far more sensitive than human senses.

Many sound waves and vibrations undetectable to humans were clearly perceptible to insects.

It seems the waves emitted by the detection Spirit Crystal disturbed this creature, causing it to charge out in such a frenzy.

The detection Spirit Crystal is just an ordinary Crystal Stone.

It is no match against the Insect Race’s tough body. The impact generated by the near five-hundred-meter giant insect is not to be underestimated; if it really got stepped on, wouldn’t the detection Spirit Crystal shatter?

Lin Yi’s mechanical wings appeared instantly from behind, swiftly taking him to the location of the first planted detection Spirit Crystal.

The swiftly approaching giant insect kicked up a gust of wind heading toward him.

Suspended at the wind’s forefront, Lin Yi appeared contemplative, seemingly ignoring the imposing giant insect before him, disdainfully raising a momentary gaze.

It can’t be that each detection Spirit Crystal needs to be guarded until its tasks are done, can it? How much time would that entail?

Using [Hair Clone] could improve efficiency substantially, but it seems a waste to use skills for this.

Before Lin Yi could finish pondering, the giant insect reached him.

However, the giant insect’s focus was entirely away from Lin Yi; its sword-like mouthparts abruptly closed in, ready to crush the detection Spirit Crystal into powder.

At that moment, Lin Yi finally moved.

He flickered in a flash, teleporting instantly before the giant insect, then extended his right hand, softly snapping his fingers straight on!

After acquiring the [Blessing] skill, Lin Yi’s attributes significantly increased, resulting in more incredible skill damage.

With skill damage and quantity increasing, the damage from finger snaps naturally soared.

The devastating damage struck the core, instantly depleting the giant insect’s health bar.

A gust of wind swept past as the giant insect’s body dissolved into dust and vanished promptly.
