Like fire-breathing ants, spindle spiders have grown so big because of radiation, and because they are large and a little insensitive to action, spindle spiders have changed their habits of living online, and have learned to dig holes and build nests to live underground.

As it grows in size, the spindle spider spits out a certain amount of silk that has also undergone a certain mutation, becoming thicker, longer, tougher, and more sticky, making it absolutely impossible for a bird or a passing beast to escape as long as it is stuck in the web. When sensing that a prey has been caught, the spindle spider only needs to come out of the burrow and gently bite the prey to enjoy the delicious meal given by God.

It is precisely because life has become so simple that the spindle spider spends most of its time underground, which causes a little difficulty for Ding Hao's hunting.

Throwing gas grenades into the cave is a very good method, but the cost is not proportional to the gain, so you can only do some dirt methods.

Ding Hao grabbed a hard clod of soil from the ground, and then threw it at the cobweb in the distance, and the tough cobweb began to tremble under the impact of the clod. Sensing the vibration of the spider web, the spindle spider in a nearby cave hurriedly ran over to check if any prey had been hooked, and at this moment, Ding Hao was hiding in the bushes 30 meters away and pulled the bowstring of the super blade.

As a compound bow, it has many disadvantages compared to firearms, with low power, short range, slow rate of fire, and heavy ammunition. But there is one advantage of the compound bow that even a firearm can't keep up with: it shoots silently. Even a pistol with a good silencing effect will produce some noise when firing, while a compound bow shot can produce a sound that is almost as loud as the ambient sound.

The sharp and slender hunting arrow shot out silently, hitting the broad belly of the spindle spider with precision, and the arrow was castrated, not only shooting through the belly of the spindle spider, but also digging deep into the dirt, nailing the spindle spider to the ground. The spindle spider struggled desperately, and the slender eight legs cut deep marks on the soil like a blade, but the huge abdomen of the spindle spider was full of vital organs, Ding Hao didn't know how many internal organs were penetrated by this arrow, and in less than half a minute, the struggle of the spindle spider became weaker and weaker, and then the 8 legs were tightly constricted and motionless.

"It's dead." Althea looked at Ding Hao. "If we can dispose of the corpse in less than five minutes, we will gain a lot of useful things."

"What?" Ding Hao asked with some surprise.

"Don't look at me like that, we've lived in this forest for so long, and we must know how to use the materials on these mutated creatures." Althea pushed Ding Hao's elbow, "Drag the corpse over quickly, otherwise it will deteriorate." ”

Ding Hao looked around and found that there were no other spindle spiders nearby, so he carefully avoided the spider silk and dragged back the spider corpse that he had shot to death.

"You're a mercenary, and I think the most useful part for you would be Venom and Silk." Althea casually picked a fluorescent mushroom from the ground, "The venom of the spindle spider is very corrosive, but it is easy to deteriorate when exposed to air, and if you treat it with the juice of the fluorescent mushroom, it can be stored for a long time." Although the treated venom loses most of its corrosive ability, the remaining toxicity can still prevent the wound from healing, making it ideal for enemies with strong self-healing abilities. ”

Althea pinched the fluorescent mushroom in her hand, dripped the green fluorescent juice into a small test tube, then cut open the spider's jaw with a dagger, skillfully picked out the venom glands, and squeezed the pale gray venom into the test tube. The two liquids fused with each other and soon turned into a reddish slime that smelled tasteless.

"Now, this is it. You can smear it on a dagger or an arrow, and the effect lasts for up to 3 months. Althea sealed the test tube in her hand with a wooden stopper and handed it to Ding Hao, "The recipe is a fluorescent mushroom with two venom glands of a spindle spider, remember that it must be prepared within 5 minutes of killing the spider, otherwise the venom will deteriorate, and it will be useless." ”

"Oh, that's kind of interesting." Ding Hao looked at the test tube in his hand, and then carefully put it away.

"And then there's spider silk, and you know what, spider silk is divided into two types: horizontal silk and longitudinal silk. The transverse filaments are covered with slime and are used to catch prey, the longitudinal filaments are tough and used to support cobwebs, while the longitudinal filaments of spindle spiders can even support the weight of ten adults on a single filament. Althea slashed open the spider's abdomen with her dagger and pulled out a palm-sized gland with a protrusion at the end and a white spot at the top. Althea carefully picked up the white dot with her fingernails, pulled out a slender silk thread, and used a dagger to cut off a one-meter-long piece of spider silk and handed it to Ding Hao. Ding Hao took the spider silk and pulled it hard, and found that he couldn't break this thin spider silk with all his strength.

"It only takes three or four strands of spider silk to weave into a rope of spider silk, which is very light and tougher than steel wire, and I think you'll like it." Althea said.

In addition to venom and spider silk, the spindle spider must produce a green crystal nucleus, Althea is not interested in the crystal nucleus, because compared to other cities, there are not many places where the crystal nucleus can be used in Night Town, but Althea is quite interested in spider meat, and took out all the flesh in the whole spider's body.

"Spindle spider meat is a rare delicacy, and we like to eat it as pies. Dad said the meat tasted a bit like crab, but I didn't know what crab was. By the way, Ding Hao, have you ever eaten crabs? Seeing Ding Hao's somewhat surprised expression, Althea carefully wrapped the collected spider meat with leaves and put it aside.

"Of course." Ding Hao took the green crystal nucleus and threw it into his backpack, "If the meat of the spindle spider is really so delicious, there is nothing wrong with saying this." ”

After dissecting the first spider, Ding Hao continued to hunt. To tell the truth, although these creatures began to mutate under the action of radiation, their size became larger, their strength increased, and the things they spewed out became larger, but their IQ did not increase much, and each spider was lured out by Ding Hao with a cave stream in the same way and then exploded with a neat arrow.

Anyway, there shouldn't be anything wrong with such a big belly called a belly, right?

As Ding Hao shot an arrow, the spindle spiders decreased one by one, and Althea followed Ding Hao to dissect the corpse and collect all kinds of useful materials. But what the other two didn't expect was that this nest of spindle spiders actually used a hive mind, and each individual's mind was linked to the queen of this nest of spiders. It doesn't matter if Ding Hao kills one or two, but this is about to wipe out this nest of spiders, and the emptiness in the soul directly woke up the sleeping spindle spider mother!

"Do you feel like the ground is shaking?" Althea, who was picking the poison glands with a dagger, suddenly shook her hand, and the poison glands at the tip of the dagger fell to the ground with a snap, feeling that something was wrong, Althea quickly put away her things and guarded the surroundings with a rifle.

"Of course, didn't you see all those spiders running out?" Ding Hao, who was hunting spiders, felt it more intuitively, and with the vibration just now, the surrounding spider caves instantly lit up with dense small red dots, all of which were spider eyes. Ding Hao bent down to dodge a flying spider web, and then pierced the spindle spider that pounced on him with an arrow, and then turned the super blade back to his back, took out the silenced M9 and shot at the swarming spiders.

The power of the pistol is much greater than that of the compound bow, and each shot can explode a fist-sized blood hole in the spider's body, and most of these spiders will be killed and injured in just a dozen seconds.

"Ding Hao, help me! I'm entangled! Then Althea on the other side was in a bit of trouble, because she was so focused with her rifle that she didn't notice that a spindle spider was also coming from her side, and she was suddenly hit by the spider's web. A panicked Althea fell to the ground at once, and then the sneaking spindle spider pounced forward, pounced on Althea accurately, and saw that the sharp fangs were about to pierce Althea's neck.

At this moment, the spindle spider's head exploded into a fist-sized bloody hole, and the sharp fangs didn't know where to fly, and the translucent liquid dripped down the wound.

Ding Hao lowered the pistol that was still smoking from the muzzle, and a sliding shovel came to Althea's side, pulled out a dagger and cut through the cobwebs that entwined Althea, and then pulled her to turn around and run.

Before the two of them had run thirty meters, the soil layer of the spindle spider's nest exploded, and a giant monster with eight legs emerged from the dirt.

"Oh my God, it's Mother Spindle!" Looking at the huge monster at least 3 meters tall not far away, Althea's voice changed tone, "Ding Hao, what should we do?" ”

"Let's run first, find an open place to deal with it." Because of his experience in dealing with large mutant creatures, Ding Hao was very calm. This is the nest of spindle spiders, full of slimy cobwebs, facing such a large spindle spider mother, as long as it is stuck to the cobwebs, it is almost certain to die, so you must find a clean place to let go of your hands and feet and have a good fight with the spindle spider mother.
