Chapter 67: The Anomaly of the Mysterious Disappearance
After reading the description of this spider egg, Mu You only had envy and jealousy.
What kind of big stomach spider is this, you can upgrade it by eating and drinking, and whoever looks at it will have to blush.
[The gluttonous demon spider has no power to resist during the oviparous period, does it take the opportunity to persuade it to become a demon? 】
"Persuade!" There's nothing to hesitate about.
[You cut your finger and drop a few drops of blood on the eggs, and the contract spell is automatically drawn.] 】
[The contract is successful! 】
Mu You clicked on the panel and looked at it.
In the Demon Column, in addition to the original 'Pocket Toad' and 'Thunder War Eagle', there is another 'Gluttonous Demon Spider'.
【Gluttonous Demon Spider】
[Level: Level 0.] 】
[Status: Incubating.] 】
[Ability: Devouring, after activation, it can automatically absorb the flesh and blood of the surrounding ownerless monsters and convert it into its own energy. 】
"Capable before it hatches?"
Mu You was stunned for a moment, and tried to click on the text of 'devouring'.
The pink spider egg suddenly trembled, slipped from Mu You's hand, and fell onto the mucus layer on the ground.
Immediately, Mu You saw that the little spider in the egg seemed to open its mouth in its sleep, like a well that could not be filled no matter how it was filled, frantically absorbing the surrounding flesh and blood energy.
The entire mucus layer dried up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the corpses of the baby spiders and mother spiders around them were also wrapped in the mucus layer, and finally all turned into energy and poured into the spider eggs.
All this happened very quickly, and by the time Mu You reacted, all the spider corpses and flesh walls on the ground had been sucked clean.
The surrounding dirt had returned to its original grassy state, and if it weren't for the cobwebs hanging from the branches of the trees in the sky, and the large number of animal bones scattered around it, it was really hard to believe that this was still the nest of a giant spider.
Coming back to his senses, Mu You hurriedly checked the attributes of the demon spider again.
[Gluttonous Demon Spider, Level: Level 1. 】
[Status: Hatching......]
"Damn!"
Mu You was speechless, this is too edible, right? With so many things in the stomach, it has been upgraded by one level, and there is no sign of hatching at all......
He was suddenly a little worried that he would not be able to afford to raise this little guy.
In the future, you will have to eat him in this way, as if you can really eat him poor......
Of course, this thought was fleeting.
Mu You picked up the spider egg, wiped off the surrounding stains for it, looked at the little spider sleeping peacefully, sighed helplessly, silently put it into the backpack, hung a spider web in the corner of the small shed, and glued the eggs to the web.
What else can he say, the cub who has made a contract with his own hands has to be raised even if he kneels!
Coming out of the backpack, he glanced at the woods that had become empty around him, Mu You exhaled, no matter what, this level was finally passed without danger.
Of course, the work isn't over yet!
He hadn't forgotten that the things that had affected him and Coke's minds and almost killed them were still at large.
Something that almost killed him twice, this must not be let go easily!
In other words, this thing still needs to affect their minds to let them enter the spider's nest and die, that is to say, the strength of this thing is definitely not strong, otherwise there is no need for this kind of roundabout way.
According to general experience, this kind of mind control ability, it is said that the caster will not be too far away from the controlled object, like the two trench coat enforcers before, it is very likely that they also came to the vicinity, were charged with their minds, and stepped into the spider's nest before dying.
In that case, there's a good chance that the thing is still in the forest, and it's not too far away from them.
Thinking of this, Mu You took out the detector and turned it on again.
After getting rid of all the spiders here, the screen has returned to its normal black background.
And under this background, the surrounding points of light that were originally hidden became clear and easy to see.
Due north, nine hundred meters away from the two of them, a flickering red dot flickered lonely on the screen.
Being able to hide within the confines of a spider's lair without being devoured is nothing other than the mind-controlled 'thing'.
Mu You gave Coke a look, and a person and a cat quietly touched the north.
……
At this point on the outskirts of the Spider Forest.
A platoon of heavily armed servicemen and several men in trench coats lined up, each with a gas mask on his head and a submachine gun and flamethrower.
At this time, standing at the front of the team was the former sergeant of the K City Branch, Zhang Yang, who had just been transferred to the Abnormal Investigation Bureau.
Just looking at the chic revolver he was playing with at this time, it could also be seen that he was no longer an ordinary person, but a player.
After officially joining the Abnormal Investigation Bureau, he finally came into contact with the player's world with the help of the above, and was also appointed as the director of the newly established K-City Abnormal Investigation Bureau, with more than a dozen players under his command.
"Remember, after rushing in later, don't be greedy, you must clear all the flesh walls under your feet before you can move forward, and you must not step on the flesh walls directly! According to the information above, the spider eggs in these flesh walls may hatch at any time, and if they are bitten, they will be poisoned and slowed down, and then they will be eaten by more spiders! ”
Zhang Yang looked at the team members assigned by his subordinates, and said in a serious tone: "And once our flesh and blood are devoured by spiders, it will turn into their energy, create more spiders, and form a vicious circle!" So, if you don't want to become a spider's nourishment, give me all the caution, and once you find that the situation is not right, immediately back off! In this unknown anomalous creature stronghold, it is always the most important ...... to preserve itself."
The information that Zhang Yang said was all sent to him just now from the General Bureau of Heterogeneous Investigation.
After discovering the A-class anomaly, the advisory team arranged by the Bureau of Anomalies immediately launched an investigation, and quickly determined the name and information of the anomalous creature: a female breeding spider that can absorb any form of energy to lay eggs, and in doing so, quickly expand its territory.
You must know that the ecology of the earth is not as dangerous as the astral spirit realm, this thing comes to the earth, there are almost no natural enemies, if you leave it alone, it won't take a month, and the surrounding urban areas will be covered by spider webs.
Therefore, the order above is clear: this creature with the ability to expand terror must be strangled in the cradle!
But at the same time, in order to avoid undermining the research value of this anomaly, weapons of mass destruction such as artillery are not allowed.
Therefore, they can only rely on their manpower to hold ordinary weapons, rush in and pull out this spider nest by force, and the danger is self-evident.
"A firebreak has been cut around this forest, and it's up to us to rush in and burn all the spiders, and that's the end of it......"
"Sir!"
Zhang Yang was impassionedly mobilizing the team members before the battle, but on the trunk of the tree above his head, a scout holding a telescope suddenly spoke.
"How?" Zhang Yang frowned.
"Spider's nest, like...... Retracted ......" Scout's tone was somewhat uncertain.
Due to the dense forest and some strange magnetic field interference around, it is impossible to use detection equipment such as drones, so it can only be detected through a combination of telescopes and the naked eye, which is a relatively primitive way.
"Retract?"
Zhang Yangyi frowned, hurriedly jumped on the tree trunk, and took the binoculars to take a look.
Sure enough, the flesh wall composed of spider slime in the depths of the forest began to shrink and shrivel at a speed visible to the naked eye, from the outside to the inside, rapidly shrinking, until it completely disappeared into the depths of the forest.
"What's going on inside?"
Zhang Yang's face was a little solemn.
This sudden situation not only did not make him relax, but only made the atmosphere more tense - in the information given above, there is no mention of such a thing as the spider's nest shrinking!
He didn't dare to let the team drive directly into the forest, but first sent a few players from the reconnaissance department to go in to find out the situation.
The news came back quickly.
"Team Zhang, there's nothing in there!"
"What do you mean there's nothing left? Make it clear! Zhang Yang frowned.
"It's just that there are no spider eggs in it, and there are no spider nests, and all the monsters are dead!"
"This anomaly has been attacked!!"
