Chapter 30 Scarlet Spider

Chapter 30 Scarlet Spider
King Yu Valley.

A large dog with a shiny black body was advancing through the forest, stepping on the humus without making any sound. It would occasionally raise its head and sniff, distinguishing the various smells in the environment. According to someone's request, he needed to lock onto a special type that was "similar and dense".

This was really putting the dog in a difficult position, but as an extraordinary creature, Lao Hei's sense of smell was much stronger than before, and he finally locked onto the target.

"Xiao He, come this way."

Jiang He followed closely with a gun in hand. After the attack by the unknown shadow and the riot of the beasts, the primeval forest near the Yuwang Monument had become quite quiet. Traces of dead beasts could often be seen as they moved forward, but there were no corpses or furs, as everything had been eaten by their competitors.

The man and the dog walked for nearly half an hour. Because they needed to be alert to the surroundings, their speed was not fast. After crossing a certain boundary, the temperature suddenly dropped to the point of freezing. At the same time, the color of the dark forest gradually turned to an icy blue that contained a sense of death.

Leaving the forest, the view suddenly becomes clear.

Jiang He's pupils shrank slightly, and in front of him was an endless mountain range so high that the horizon could not be seen.

The cliffs are as pure as crystal. Upon closer inspection, they are rugged in appearance but clearly layered. Wisps of icy mist linger in the air. Hundreds of blood-red waterfalls rush down into bottomless caves, emitting a strong and pungent smell of blood that even the extreme cold cannot conceal.

Lao Hei was a little embarrassed. "Similar and dense" describes wild animals that live in groups. At the moment, it seems that he led the wrong way.

"There are sheep up there." Jiang He said softly.

On the cliff, groups of ice-like mountain goats were moving slowly, almost blending into the environment, constantly licking the blood-colored salt grains that had splashed out and solidified.

In normal nature, mountain goats can climb nearly vertical cliffs with ease, and the extraordinary species in front of us are no different.

"Find a way to make these mountain goats fall down. This high-altitude ordinary alien species will probably die, unless they are all elite monsters like the level of the gibbon and the wolf."

Lao Hei stared at a male blue sheep with huge horns. The beast was nearly three meters long and looked no ordinary creature.

Jiang He approached the icy blue cliff, holding a black gem in his hand. He planned to use the vibration caused by the explosion to make his prey lose balance and fall, but as if they sensed the danger, the exotic mountain goats all stopped moving. The moment they stopped moving, they turned into crystal clear ice sculptures, frozen tightly to the cliff.

There were deep and dark caves on both sides. Jiang He frowned slightly and retreated the same way he came.

"They are not easy to kill. I can keep fighting them, but it is not cost-effective. It may take more than ten days."

Lao Hei sat on the ground thinking, stroking his chin with his paw like a human, and after a moment he said:

"There is humus in the forest, so there may be earthworms. Poisonous insects like centipedes love to eat sticky insects. If so, if we catch a bunch of them, we might be able to attract centipedes. The three-colored centipedes we saw for the first time are obviously highly poisonous. If your hypnosis works, you can control the centipedes to poison those mountain goats."

Jiang He nodded, "Then give it a try."

The man and the dog returned to the forest. Lao Hei relied on his sense of smell to find a damp area with a strong smell of earth.

Jiang He chopped the branches, cut them into sticks, stuck them into the ground, and then used another stick to saw continuously.

Earthworms crawl out of the soil and come to the ground on rainy days because rain blocks oxygen, and for earthworms, the friction and vibration of the stick is very similar to rain.

Lao Hei stared at the ground. After more than ten minutes, the first earthworm appeared. He clipped a black hair and pinned it down.

As time passed, the number of earthworms gradually increased, formed a small pile, and then suddenly decreased.

The man and the dog moved to another location and continued to look for a wet area.

After working all night, Lao Hei's dog skin became bald. He caught countless earthworms and filled three bark bags. The resources in the vast wilderness at the border are so rich that it is staggering.

Jiang He used the Changhen Spear to dig a big hole in the woods and poured one of the bags of earthworms into it. The earthworms were pierced by the black hair and could not return to the soil, so they curled up densely in the big hole.

"Light a torch to get rid of the smell."

Lao Hei sat on the ground and rubbed the fire together, then he walked around the pit dozens of times with the torch in his mouth.

After the preparations were completed, the man and the dog climbed up a big tree and waited quietly for the prey to come.

The sun rose and set at the border. After a day and a night, a large number of earthworms died, and the special earthy smell became stronger.

Lao Hei yawned and jumped down the tree to find a corner to solve his personal problem. When he came back, he saw Jiang He also jumped down the tree, his body tense and in hunting state.

Lao Hei took a closer look and found that the prey was not the expected tri-colored centipede, but a fist-sized bright red spider. The red spots on its back were particularly creepy, causing psychological discomfort even from a distance. However, there was a conspicuous scar left, as if it had been pecked by a bird.

"This guy is not very smart." Jiang He suddenly stood up and said.

Lao Hei breathed a sigh of relief and guessed, "It might be the kind that failed to win the previous fight and is eager to replenish its food."

The bright red spider crawled into the pit and started to weave a web at an eerily fast speed. Its sharp mouthparts cut up earthworms, and its appetite far exceeded its own body size.

Jiang He picked up a wooden stick that he had prepared in advance. The top was covered with black hairs and pierced with a large number of earthworms. Then he held a leaf in his mouth and gently tapped the spider web with the stick.

The vibration attracted the attention of the scarlet spider. It observed for a moment and then pounced on it.

Jiang He pulled out the stick and blew a whistle with a leaf, at the same time activating the active skill - hypnosis.

The scarlet spider became alert. Jiang He blew the whistle again, and this whistle symbolized moving forward.

After three full minutes, the scarlet spider moved forward a distance in hesitation. When it was close to the earthworm on the stick and was about to bite it, Jiang He used his Ming Jin to shake it up half a meter.

Another whistle sounded, completely different from the previous one, this time it symbolized a bite.

Seeing this, Lao Hei's cheeks twitched. When he was still not smart, this guy was scolding him. The whistle sounded over and over again, and Scarlet Spider slowly understood the meaning behind it, and his movements became more and more fluent.

As a reward, a bag of earthworms was completely poured out.

Suddenly, the scarlet spider broke free from its restraints and rushed madly towards the bark bag. Jiang He had anticipated this and fired a shot, knocking the spider hundreds of steps away.

By now, nearly half of the energy had been consumed. A whistle representing forward movement was blown, and the Scarlet Spider obediently came to the spot and waited.

The tone representing eating sounded, Jiang He activated hypnosis, and said in his own voice: "Chew."

The scarlet spider feasted on the food.

After it finishes eating, the second round of domestication begins.

Jiang He responded to the whistle with his own voice and words, replacing each other, and after completing the second round of domestication, he was rewarded with another bag of earthworms.

The whole process took several hours and the energy value was consumed to nearly one hundred.

"Just make do with it."

Jiang He wiped the sweat from his forehead. He felt a little tired from concentrating on activating the hypnosis skills frequently.

Lao Hei led the way, and the man and the dog led the spider back to the ice-blue cliff. The alien goats were still licking the blood salt, and found that the hunters had returned, and the ice sculptures were regenerated.

The scarlet spider climbed up the cliff at the command and tore the ice with its mouthparts. Soon, a strange mountain sheep fell down, its warm and thick fur relatively intact.

The second head fell, and the third followed closely behind.

The leading male mountain goat became furious. Jiang He walked straight over and stretched out his hand to hold the chaos bomb against the cliff. He didn't mind at all that these guys broke the ice sculpture state. If the leader of the tribe was willing to sacrifice himself to kill the scarlet spider, he could accept the result. After all, the life level affected the quality of the fur, and the buyer should know the value of the fur.

When the 24th ibex fell to its death, the male ibex could hardly bear it anymore, but at the same time, the hunt came to an abrupt end.

Lao Hei dragged his prey into the forest, and Jiang He called back the Scarlet Spider to retreat.

"In three seconds, this group of exotic mountain goats were already dead in mid-air. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be poisoned to death instantly."

Lao Hei reported the results of his observations. The scarlet spider is not very capable in frontal combat, but it is highly venomous. Given its size, it is more suitable for assassination.

"Go back and try the healing potion. If it can detoxify, keep it with you." Jiang He said that despite two rounds of domestication, he could not guarantee that the scarlet spider would not bite him under special circumstances. He could only hope to find a solution from the hunter system in the future.

"Safety first." Lao Hei nodded calmly.

There was nothing abnormal on the surface of each mountain goat, but when Jiang He peeled off the skin, he found that the flesh inside was covered with colorful lines. The tissues corroded by toxins were severely necrotic and completely lost their vitality, and their hearts were strangely dry.

The man and the dog returned home. After going down the mountain, they went to the market and bought a live pig. This month's salary had already been deposited into their card.

Back in the red brick building, Jiang He bought two bottles of healing potions from the public mall of the Origin game. He also used one bottle to heal his burns at the end of the derivative mission.

[Game Coins: 925]
"Chew."

The bright red spider pounced on the back of the pig's neck and bit it. In the blink of an eye, the pig began to tremble.

Jiang He promptly poured the small healing potion into the mouth of the experimental subject. After resting for half an hour, the pig finally had the strength to stand up again.

"Chew."

This time, the live pig only survived for less than two seconds. The experiment was over and someone did not consume the second healing potion.

"If the healing potion cannot be taken within a few seconds, low-level players will also die... The spider seems to have evolved."

Jiang He waved his hand, and a bright red spider climbed onto his shoulder, leaving a red spot on its back.

When Lao Hei used his claws to dissect a live pig, he also found that its heart was dry.

"Twenty-four exotic mountain goats. Their staple food is heart blood."

Jiang He thought for a moment and said, "She has great potential, so let's call her Xiaohong."

Lao Hei: "..."

It's really sloppy.

Lao Hei said helplessly: "I gave myself a name. The elegant name of wolf in ancient times was Danglu Jun, so I am called Jiang Danglu."

Jiang He smiled and said, "It's more meaningful to choose your own name. You don't have to bear my expectations. Besides, I plan to complete that daily mission after dark. The location is in the Magic City. If I don't take you with me this time, I may not be able to take care of myself when I get there."

Lao Hei nodded, agreeing with the other party's decision.

At night, Jiang He dug out the Glock 17 and two magazines full of bullets from under the bed. After he stuffed Xiao Hong into his bag, he saw that it was not dead, so he took off the mission pendant he had obtained on the island.

The moment the mission began, his figure disappeared from the spot.
