Chapter 163: It's Time to Eat!
As Sugg had guessed, the giant spider came from the city of Salem, and it was once an integral part of the vast Abyssal Descendants.
When the Great Earthquake and the Magical Movement destroyed the lockdown ritual of the city, it obeyed the will of the whole and left the city with a part of its own kind to explore the world.
However, as the mages of the Legislature completed the restoration of the ceremonial grounds in Seren, the connection between these scattered children of the Abyss and their own subjects was completely broken.
They thus become individuals who are scattered in the outside world and have an independent will.
The memories of its victims from the city of Salem taught it what fear was and what death was.
Therefore, when it came to the outside of the city of Seren, it began to carefully explore and observe.
It took more than ten days to successfully cross the plain, which was covered in artillery fire from both sides, and it witnessed the explosion of crystalline shells, the small-scale infiltration of human armies against the positions of both sides, and several bloody encounters in sensitive areas.
It sensed a deep threat - the humans who had been fed by themselves and their fellow human beings in the past were not as weak as they thought, and they wielded terrifying powers that could easily destroy each other, or destroy other beings.
Therefore, it chose to flee.
The Black Forest gave it a new chance to grow, and after attacking and devouring a hibernating walking spider, it set off on its hunting journey.
The magical power of the Spider makes it the apex predator of the forest, and in the hunt after hunt, the knowledge from humans is constantly understood and digested, and it gradually understands that it is the human army and the spellcasters among them who can really pose a threat to itself, but at the same time, these two are also the food it dreams of.
The instincts and perceptions that remain in its body tell it that if it can hunt enough spellcasters and soldiers and understand the powers and habits they possess, then it can master those terrifying powers like them and avoid more threats.
The arrival of the hunters of the Black Forest Town and the march of the Fifth Hunting Regiment through the forest presented it with important opportunities.
It embarks on a new hunt - using its ability to pass through spiders and its mutated body, to avoid the hordes of humans, the terrifying weapons and the army's high-ranking mages, and to draw everything it needs from a small group of lone prey!
In the process, caution has become its new instinct.
How to discern the real target, how to attack and escape, how to tempt......
These are all techniques that it is constantly learning and mastering.
But now, the mage, who was covered with a "tempting smell", had almost lost his mind.
It can feel the power that exists in the other person's body, and that is what it is pursuing, and its instinct tells it that as long as it successfully completes this hunt, it will be able to grow most thoroughly, and even become a new "subject"!
….
However, the "success" of the hunt seems to have come too easily.
It didn't expect that a very random attack of its own would be able to directly hit the target and penetrate his body directly, according to its past experience and knowledge of humans, the armor made of strangulation silver was very strong, and it had no way to destroy it easily.
After a moment of sluggishness, its body immediately swelled with infinite excitement and ecstasy, and it violently retracted its arthropods that had pierced the target's body, bringing the precious prey back to its body, and the black oil shell on the surface of its body began to writhe, and the feeding mouthparts belonging to the passing spider stretched out of its body.
It was a long, sharp straw.
This is the feeding method it learned from the body of the walking spider after combining its own strength—using its mouthparts to pierce the body of its prey, inject a part of itself into it, completely dissolve the flesh, internal organs, and power of the prey, and then absorb it again.
Concise and efficient.
As for the bullets that kept shooting nearby, it had completely ignored it, as long as it could absorb the prey in front of it, then the remaining soldiers were just desserts after the meal.
But just as the spider had already aimed its mouthparts at the prey, it suddenly noticed that the prey had no painful expression on its face, and that it was staring at itself with a somewhat strange smile.
It was as if he was desperate for this dangerous close encounter.
In the next second, all the soldiers present saw an extremely shocking scene, only to see that the figure hanging on the arthropod suddenly took out the revolver, and the "Demon Bow Arrow" ammunition that had already been filled in it exploded with the pull of the trigger, directly hitting the relatively fragile mouthpiece.
The damage caused by the explosion of magic caused the giant spider to tremble violently, and it shook its arthropods vigorously to shake off its crazy prey, but Shug's palms directly changed into pitch-black claws, and clasped its limbs tightly.
In the midst of the chaos, a second magic bullet burst out, hitting the crack in the giant spider's carapace impartially, and this second round of magic explosion actually created a hideous gap directly on its body.
A piercing hiss sounded, and the wounded spider burst into its ferocity, slamming its limbs to the ground, and finally slamming its prey to the ground with brute force, and then it lunged forward, smashing its limbs towards the figure with countless bullets.
White snow foam splattered everywhere, but there was not half of it that was the flesh and blood of a living creature.
With a strange sneer, the smashed body exploded into a faint black mist, which dissipated into the air, and before the giant spider could react, an extremely thick shadow suddenly swept out of the magic smoke that was slowly drifting away.
It was a huge scythe twisted by the touch of Culon, and at its end was a black blade enhanced by a large amount of magical power, and under the manipulation of Shug's will, this terrifying scythe slashed at one of the thickest limbs of the giant spider.
….
There was a tooth-aching crunch, and the limb that seemed to be incomparably strong enough to withstand the bullets was actually cut in two on the spot.
The study of human beings not only allowed the Descendants of the Abyss to grasp those knowledge, but also allowed them to understand a part of human emotions.
So at this moment, the frustration of the failed hunt and the humiliation of being deceived completely filled its mind, and the giant spider let out a piercing hiss, and it immediately supported its body with its other limbs, and then jumped up with great force, rolling and crushing in the direction of several Chasseur soldiers.
Under its ferocious impact, the trees broke and fell down, and the soldiers it saw as targets immediately ducked, but there was still one unlucky soldier who was swept by its sharp foot blade because of his untimely reaction, and his body was cut in two on the spot.
The black light and shadow in the giant spider's body began to flow rapidly, it was the instinct of the Descendant of the Abyss, it was using the power stored in its body to change its body shape and repair the damage, in the chaos, its two limbs specially designed to capture its prey became extremely flexible, and as its body flipped, the two limbs split the spreading magic cloud and smashed towards the location of Xiuge's real body.
The magic barrier and the Callon Touch quickly formed a line of defense in front of Shug, and while forcibly withstanding the opponent's attack, Shug withdrew from the magical smoke, the wolf tooth tattoo on his right wrist flickered slightly, and the strangely colored Hound Fang revolver appeared in his palm.
The court hound's desire to hunt was infinitely high at this time, but this time, there was something in the metal disc that responded to Xiuge's call faster and more actively.
It was a rat hiss.
……
Ever since he had acquired the magic summon of the Rat of Rage, he had never seen it so active.
It was always so insidious, so cruel and obscene, just as the name given to it by the initiates
, which is always more like an assassin or assassin lurking in the darkness than a warrior who will appear on a frontal battlefield.
However, Snich is not the same now.
Perhaps it was the fierce battle that Xiuge was fighting that caused it a considerable degree of stimulation, or maybe it had finally completely digested the power from the Mother Earth Goddess, in short, it finally woke up and conveyed its strong wishes and thoughts to Xiuge at the first time!
It will hunt, it will eat.
As the "charioteer" of Mother Earth, it wants to charge towards its goal.
"Okay, approved!"
The large amount of mana in Xiuge's body immediately began to tilt, but then he realized that with his current mana stock, he actually felt a little difficult when summoning the Raging Rat.
At this moment, all the creatures present, including the giant spider that was trying to kill the soldiers of the hunting regiment, felt a strange sense of crisis, but before it could change its strategy, a figure suddenly tore through the clouds and mist, and rushed out on the cold snow, its speed was so amazing that the soldiers didn't even get to see the image of the thing for the first time.
….
By the time they reacted, the shadow had already arrived in front of the giant spider, and it slammed into it mercilessly, using its weight and speed to knock the mutant magical creature to the ground.
It was a giant rat larger than the average beast, covered in smooth fur and with a pair of twisted horns on top of its head.
Even the most seasoned hunter had never seen such a magical creature.
The Traveling Spider mutated from the Descendants of the Abyss was already in a state of confusion at this time, and the information and impact it had received in a short period of time was too much and too complex...... A variety of complex thoughts, emotions, and concepts filled its spirit and mind, and the mage and the terrifying giant rat in front of him exuded an aura that was both seductive and dangerous.
Out of an instinct to grow, it wants to continue its hunt.
However, the biological emotions that exist in the body make it want to escape.
As the mutilated heir of an ancient family, it is not yet sufficient to complete the selection and processing of such complex information.
In this momentary stunned, the Running Rat with its three slender tails had already launched its next move, and it was deftly avoiding the deadly arthropods that kept sweeping.
After two nimble jumps, the Running Rat actually clinged directly to the giant spider's back, its sharp fangs and sharp claws flashing with a dangerously corrosive magical light, and with the rough gnawing and tearing, the limbs growing on the giant spider's back were torn off on the spot, and the fragments that fell into its mouth were immediately chewed by it.
Feeling the taste of its prey, the scarlet rat's dark green eyes began to turn scarlet, its fur had completely exploded, and in the face of the fierce struggle and counterattack of the giant spider, it did not care at all, allowing those sharp arthropods to stab or slash at its body, its body hair was no less tough than those hard metal armor, under the chopping of arthropods, they only showed some minor damage.
This is the style of the top clansmen and predators under the belief of Mother Earth Goddess.
It was a terrifying existence that such a defective product as the Descendants of the Abyss could not reach.
The change of identity from hunter to prey completely destroyed the hunting instinct of the Abyss Heir, and its desire to survive took over at this moment, so it twisted its body hard, and threw off the Running Rat with the tear of the carapace on its back, and then quickly stretched its arthrops to the trees next to it, and began to climb towards the top of the trees in an extremely strange posture, and when it made this movement, the carapace on its body and the pitch-black color on its body began to change rapidly.
It is trying to use the walking spider's innate stealth ability to escape this terrifying place.
But after all, it underestimated the killing desire and hunger of the three-tailed giant rat under the tree at this moment, and with a hiss, the running rat actually came to the giant
Under the tree where the spider was, its sharp claws clung to the tree so hard that with its amazing explosive power, it chased directly towards the top of the tree!
Just as the Wandering Spider was about to go into complete invisibility, the three long tails of the Running Rat rolled upside down and stabbed into the air.
The Running Rat was sure that its tail had hit its target, and the barbs that grew at the end of its long tail immediately stretched out to become three anchors to hold its prey in place.
"Pretty!"
With Xiuge's approval, the giant rat, which had just woken up not long ago, jumped forward, and its three tails immediately tensed, and with its own weight, it forcibly dragged the fleeing spider back from above the tree, and both fell to the ground together!
At this moment, the running rat felt more satisfaction and joy than ever.
It knows it's time to feast!
