The sun is high - #164 - Chapter 163 It’s time to feast!

As Xiuge had guessed before, this giant spider came from Salem City, and it was once an integral part of the huge descendants of Dark Abyss.

When a major earthquake and magical changes destroyed the sealing ceremony of Salem City, it followed the command of the overall will, left Salem City with some of its kind, and embarked on an exploration of the world.

However, as the mages of the Legal Committee completed the restoration of the ceremony site in Salem City, the connection between these scattered descendants of the Dark Abyss and their own subjects was completely interrupted.

As a result, they became individuals with independent wills scattered in the outside world.

The memories of the victims from Salem City taught it what fear was and what death was.

Therefore, when it arrived outside Salem City, it began to carefully explore and observe.

It took more than ten days to successfully cross the plain covered by artillery fire from both sides. It witnessed the explosion of crystal shells, the small-scale infiltration of the human army against the positions of both sides, and also witnessed several A bloody encounter in a sensitive area.

It feels a strong threat – the humans who were regarded as food by itself and its kind in the past are not as weak as imagined. They possess terrifying power that can easily destroy each other or other living beings.

Therefore, it chose to escape.

This dark forest gave it a new opportunity to grow. After attacking and devouring a hibernating spider, it began its hunting journey.

The magical power of the walking spider makes it the top predator in the forest, and in hunting again and again, the knowledge from humans is also being continuously understood and digested by it. It gradually understands that it can really cause harm to itself. It is the human army and the spellcasters among them that threaten it, but at the same time, these two are also the food it dreams of.

The instinct and cognition remaining in its body tell it that as long as it can hunt enough spellcasters and soldiers and understand the power and behavioral habits they possess, then it can master those terrifying powers like them. And avoid further threats.

The arrival of the hunters from Black Forest Town and the march of the 5th Jäger Regiment through the forest brought it important opportunities.

It started a new round of hunting operations – using the ability of walking spiders and its mutated body to avoid the large human army, stay away from the terrible weapons and the senior mages in the army, and constantly pick up the lone little ones. Get everything you need from your prey!

In the process, caution has become its new instinct.

How to identify the real target, how to attack and escape, how to test…

These are the skills it is constantly learning and mastering.

But now, the mage who exuded an “attractive smell” almost made him lose his mind.

It can feel the power existing in the opponent’s body, and that is what it is pursuing. Its instinct tells it that as long as it successfully completes this hunt, it will be able to grow most completely and even become a new ” main body”!

However, hunting “success” seems to come too easily.

It never thought that its very random attack could directly hit the target and penetrate his body directly. Based on its past experience and understanding of human beings, the armor made of magic silver is very powerful. It is strong and there is no way to break it easily.

After a moment of sluggishness, infinite excitement and ecstasy immediately emerged from its body. It violently retracted the limbs that pierced the target’s body, bringing the precious prey back to it. The black oil shell on the surface of its body began to Twisting, the feeding mouthparts of a walking spider extend from its body.

It’s a long, sharp “straw.”

This is the eating method it learned from the traveling spider body after combining its own power – using its mouthparts to pierce the prey’s body and inject part of itself into it, completely dissolving the prey’s flesh, blood, internal organs and strength. And then draw it back.

Simple and efficient.

As for the bullets constantly fired nearby, it has completely ignored it. As long as it can absorb the prey in front of it, the remaining soldiers are just desserts after the meal.

But just when the giant spider had pointed its mouthparts at the prey, it suddenly discovered that there was no expression of pain on the prey’s face. He was staring at it with a strange expression. Smile.

It was as if he longed for this dangerous close contact.

In the next second, all the soldiers present saw an extremely shocking scene. The figure hanging on the limbs suddenly took out a revolver, and the “Magic Bow and Arrow” ammunition that had been filled in it followed the trigger. He buckled it and blasted it out, directly hitting the more fragile mouthpart.

The damage caused by the magic explosion caused the giant spider to tremble violently. It shook its jointed limbs vigorously, trying to shake off the crazy prey, but Shuge’s palms directly transformed into pitch-black claws, and clung to it tightly. Buttoned its limbs.

In the midst of the chaos, a second magic bullet blasted out, hitting the crack on the giant spider’s carapace squarely. This second round of magic explosion actually created a ferocious gap in its body.

A harsh hissing sounded, and the spider that had been injured repeatedly exploded with ferocity. It slammed its limbs to the ground, and finally used its brute force to throw the prey to the ground. Then it swooped forward, Withstanding the shooting of countless bullets, he smashed his limbs towards the figure.

White snow foam was splashing everywhere, but there was no trace of flesh and blood in it.

In a weird sneer, the smashed body exploded into a ball of light black mist, which dissipated in the air. Before the giant spider could react, the previous mass was slowly Among the floating magic smoke, an extremely thick shadow suddenly swept out.

It was a huge scythe made of unknown numbers of Charron’s Touch. At the end was a black blade strengthened by a large amount of magic power. Under the control of Shuge’s will, this terrifying scythe fiercely struck It slashed at one of the giant spider’s strongest limbs.

There was a heartbreaking sound, and the limb that seemed extremely strong and capable of withstanding bullets was cut into two pieces on the spot.

The study of human beings not only allowed the descendant of An Abyss to master that knowledge, but also allowed him to understand some human emotions.

Therefore, at this moment, the loss of the failed hunting operation and the humiliation caused by the fraud completely filled its mind. The giant spider made a piercing scream, and it immediately supported its body with other limbs, and then He jumped up with all his strength, rolling and crushing in the direction of several soldiers from the Chasseur Regiment.

Under its fierce impact, the trees broke and fell one after another. The soldiers who were targeted by it immediately fled, but there was still an unlucky soldier who was swept by its sharp foot blade because he did not react in time, and his body was injured on the spot. It became two pieces.

The black light and shadow in the giant spider’s body began to flow rapidly. It was the instinct of the descendant of An Abyss. It was using the power stored in its body to change its body shape and repair damage. In the midst of the chaos, its two branches were specially used to capture The limbs of the prey became extremely flexible. As its body turned over, the two limbs split the spreading magic cloud and fell towards the location of Xiuge’s real body.

The magic barrier and Charron’s Touch quickly formed a line of defense in front of Shuge. While forcibly withstanding the opponent’s attack, Shuge withdrew from the magic smoke. The wolf fang tattoo on his right wrist flickered slightly, and the color was bright. The strange Hound’s Tooth revolver already appeared in his hand.

The hunting desire of the palace hound has been infinitely high at this time, but this time, there is something in the metal disc that responds to Shuge’s call faster and more proactively than it does.

It was a rat’s neigh.

…

Ever since he obtained the magical summoning object of the Running Rat, Xiuge had never seen it take such initiative.

It is always so insidious, ruthless and obscene. Just like the name given to it by fellow martial artist, it is always more like an assassin and assassin lurking in the darkness than a warrior who will appear on the frontal battlefield.

However, Snicki is different now.

Perhaps the fierce battle ongoing by Shuge had stimulated it to a certain extent, or perhaps it had finally completely digested that part of the power from the Mother Goddess of the Earth. In short, it finally woke up and moved towards it at the first opportunity. Xiuge conveyed his strong wishes and ideas!

It wants to hunt, it wants to eat.

As the “chariot” of the Earth Mother Goddess, it wants to charge towards its goal.

“Okay, approved!”

The large amount of magic power in Xiuge’s body immediately began to tilt, but then he found that with his current magic power stock, it was a bit difficult to summon the running rat.

At this moment, all the creatures present, including the giant spider that was trying to hunt down the soldiers of the Hunter Corps, felt a strange sense of crisis. But before it could change its strategy, a figure suddenly tore through the diffuse clouds. , rushed out through the icy snow, its speed was so amazing that the soldiers could not even see the image of the thing clearly at the first time.

When they reacted, the shadow had already arrived in front of the giant spider. It bumped into it mercilessly, and with its own weight and speed, it directly overturned the mutated magical creature. on the ground.

It was a giant rat that was larger than ordinary beasts, covered in smooth fur, and with a pair of twisted horns on its head.

Even the most experienced hunter has never seen such a magical creature.

The traveling spider, which was mutated by the descendant of An Abyss, has fallen into a state of confusion. It has received too much information and shocks in a short period of time, and it is too complicated… all kinds of complicated thoughts. , emotions and concepts filled its spirit and thinking, and the mage and the terrifying giant rat in front of it both exuded an aura that was both extremely tempting and extremely dangerous.

Out of its instinct to grow, it wants to continue its hunt.

However, the biological emotions existing in the body make it want to escape.

As an incomplete heir of an ancient family, it is not yet strong enough to complete the selection and processing of such complex information.

But during this brief moment of daze, the running rat with its three slender tails swung had already initiated its next move. It nimbly avoided the deadly arthropods that were constantly sweeping.

After two flexible jumps, the Running Rat actually climbed directly onto the back of the giant spider. Its sharp fangs and claws shone with dangerous corrosive magic light, and with the rough gnawing and tearing , the limbs growing on the back of the giant spider were torn off on the spot, and the fragments that fell into its mouth were chewed immediately.

After feeling the taste of prey, the running rat’s dark green eyes began to turn towards scarlet, and its hair had completely exploded. Facing the giant spider’s fierce struggle and counterattack, it didn’t care at all, letting those sharp joints When stabbed or chopped towards his own body, the hair on its body was no less tough than those of hard metal armor. Under the chopping of its jointed limbs, they only suffered some minor damage.

This is the style of the top families and predators under the faith of the Mother Goddess of the Earth.

That was a terrifying existence that was beyond the reach of defective products like the descendants of An Yuan.

The identity change from hunter to prey completely destroyed the hunting instinct of the descendant of An Abyss. Its desire to survive took over at this moment, so it twisted its body hard, tearing the carapace on its back to throw off the running rat. , and then quickly extended its jointed limbs to the tree next to it, and actually started to climb towards the top of the tree in an extremely weird posture. When it made this action, its carapace and The jet black color inside the body also began to change rapidly.

It is trying to escape this terrible place by using the innate stealth ability of the walking spider.

But after all, it underestimated the killing desire and hunger level of the three-tailed giant rat under the tree at the moment. With a roar, the running rat came to the tree where the giant spider was, and its sharp claws clung to the tree hard. With its amazing explosive power, it chased directly towards the top of the tree!

At the moment when the traveling spider was about to enter a completely invisible state, the three long tails of the running rat rolled up and stabbed hard into the air.

The running rat was sure that its tail had hit the target, so the barbs growing at the end of its long tail immediately stretched out and became three anchors used to fix the prey.

“pretty!”

With Shuge’s approval, the giant rat that had just woken up jumped up, its three tails immediately tightened, and with its own weight, it forcibly dragged the fleeing spider back from the top of the tree. They all fell towards the ground together!

At this moment, the running rat felt unprecedented satisfaction and joy.

It knows that the time to feast has arrived!
