Chapter 41: Monster Hunter I

Updated: 2012-07-23

Lampez State University, located in Zone B of the city of Kadam. It's a university, but it's actually like a small town. The State University occupies almost the entire B area, covering an area of about 2,000 acres. According to the information obtained by zero, the university town has many academic units, dormitories and research rooms. Public spaces include a football field, an ice skating rink, a concert hall and an auditorium.

The school also has its own power generation facilities, garbage incineration site, water recycling equipment and other living facilities. The university is divided into four areas by straight cross-shaped concrete pathways, each with cobwebbed paths connecting buildings with different functions.

Before the university town was damaged, it was already a labyrinth. Today, some buildings have been damaged by meteorites, the ground has fractured, and many functional buildings have collapsed, changing the landscape of the university town and turning the entire school into an even more complex labyrinth.

This state university is almost the same size as Remut, and it has functional facilities left over from the old era. If Remut can occupy it and restore some of its facilities, the university town will be able to become a new base for Remut's expansion, and it will be completely new in a few years' time.

This shows how desperate Remut is to get a state university.

It's evening, the sun is about to set, and the night will rule the earth. This is also the time when mutated creatures are active. Zero wasn't going to go on a mission the next morning, as he had three other contenders. And there is no doubt that one of the capable ones wanted to kill him.

But looking at the intricate landscape, Zero smiled. It is not certain who kills whom, although the elemental domain is powerful, does not mean invincible.

In the wilderness, accidents can happen at any time. And Zero, he belongs to the wilderness.

Before arriving in the university town, Zero threw Lara into a machined stone. There's enough metal there to feed the cub. Although Lala's gastric juice can dissolve gold and iron, there are so many rock spiders in the ruins, and Lala's role is limited. Zero simply didn't take it to risk, and he was alone, but he was able to exert his combat power to the limit.

There was an inaudible sound in my ears, the sound of wheels pressing against the ground, coming from the ruins a few kilometers away. Knowing that his rivals were coming, Zero removed the goggle from Gold's right eye and quietly slipped it into the multi-purpose marching bag behind his back. In the eyes of a giant dragon, the university town was like a giant beast lurking in the night, and Zero's figure disappeared directly into the big mouth of this giant beast.

Two days passed.

It was early in the morning, and in the lobby on the first floor of the library, Zero was hiding behind a bookcase that had fallen to the floor, staring at the rubble piled up at the door. When the morning sun hit them, the rocks that were piled up tall began to tremble.

A yellow-brown stone half a meter long and wide rolled to the ground, but when it touched the ground, there were six fractures at the edge of the stone. The stones at the edges cracked open and stretched out, only to see them connected to the black limbs. These six limbs hold the stone together

The anterior stone is split from a third of the part, and the posterior end is retracted, forming the thorax and ventral portions. A semi-oval, black organ protruded from the front of the chest, and six pairs of compound eyes appeared above the object. Then, a pair of chelica sticked out.

In this way, a rock spider completes its transformation from stone to creature under Zero's nose. And as the radius of the sun expanded, more stones turned into rock spiders, and then quickly crawled towards the shadow of the library.

When one of the rock spiders was dazzled by the sunlight and crawled towards the bookcase where Zero was hiding, Zero pulled out the alloy dagger and slowly raised it.

The moment the mutant creature appeared, the dagger stabbed down and plunged into the soft gelatinous crack that connected the rock spider's breastplate to its abdomen. In an instant, the rock spider retracted its limbs, retracted its head, and turned from a creature into a stone again.

This is the result of hundreds of shiyans on the rock spider over the past two days, and the soft gelatinous substance that connects the chest and abdomen seems to be the nerve center of this mutated creature. When pierced by a sharp object, the spider's nerves are severed, creating a biocoma-like effect. Before falling into a coma, out of self-preservation, the spider will reclaim all its external organs and limbs, and turn into stone to confuse other creatures.

The rock spider that passed out would hardly wake up again, but it was still alive. But if there is no food supply, the spider will only live for another day or two. Such a thing can be called a qualified ** specimen, but it's a pity that there are monsters half a meter long and wide, and Zero doesn't want to transport it back anyway.

Zero gently moved the unconscious spider to his feet, and because of the dagger still stuck in his body, the spider's stone form was incomplete, and Zero used the dagger to circle around and cut the spider into two pieces along the gelatinous substance. Blue-black spider blood flowed from the crack, and the spider that had gone from a coma to a dead state could no longer maintain the form of a rock, losing control of its nerves and muscles, and the limbs and head hidden in its body slipped out.

The body part of a rock spider is encased in a thin carapace that is like a stone. This carapace was unusually solid, and Zero's dagger pierced it, even sparking. He estimated that if he used a microcomputer to charge, he would not be able to break through the carapace's defenses at all.

The limb that was powerless to let go, cut the black part with zero. In addition to the rock crust, the shell of the black part of the foot is quite fragile and can be broken almost at the slightest stab, but the muscles inside are quite delicate. The spider's muscle texture is twisted in a strip, and these muscle fibers provide the spider with enough liliang to support its body weight, and it has explosive power that allows it to accelerate when necessary to capture prey in an instant.

As for the compound eyes of some heads, zero found to have eye muscles that can rotate 180 degrees, which provide rock spiders with almost no blind spots. Well, just almost. The relatively high abdomen makes the back of the spider the only blind spot.

The monster had a pair of chelica sticking out from under its mouth, and the inside of the giant teeth was hollow, and there was an elastic muscle that could pop a sharp tube out of the teeth. When a spider bites into a human body, it can suck the blood of its prey through its straw-like organs. There are no poison sacs in the teeth, but the silk spewed out by the rock spider contains neurotoxins, which can penetrate the prey wrapped in the spider silk through their pores, thereby paralyzing their bodily functions.

The whole process of dissection took more than half an hour, although he couldn't bring back the ** specimen, but the information obtained after the dissection was saved by zero. This information is no less precious than a specimen, and Zero believes Theon will be willing to pay for it.

The dagger was retrieved, and Zero walked out of the library, indicating that the mapping of the area west of the university town had been completed.
