4 Eat the Purple-Footed Spider to Gain Special Characteristic ‘Swift'

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment Hopper turned his head to look at the young purple-footed spider, the young purple-footed spider sprinted towards Hopper and raised its sharp front legs.

It was like a heavy cavalry raising its knight's spear.

If he was stabbed, he would probably be pierced immediately!

Hopper reacted and leaned back.

He aimed at the young purple-legged spider that was charging straight at him.

He shot out the spider silk that it had accumulated in its abdomen for a long time.

The young purple-legged spider narrowed its small eyes. Its sprinting legs shook slightly in response.

Da da da da! Da da da! Da da da da!

It turned sideways and continued to maintain its fierce momentum of charging.

At the same time, it dodged the spider silk shot out by Hopper.

What fast movement speed!

Moreover, its movement seemed to have predicted that I would use this move in advance!

Was it because of the young spider that had encountered the spider silk shot out earlier?

It was actually able to react so quickly!

It was like having battle instinct engraved in its genes!

While marveling at the speed and reaction of the young purple-footed spider, Hopper quickly made a move that countered the purple-legged spider's high-speed movement.

He continued to lean back until he fell to the ground, his abdomen still maintaining the spinning of silk.

Several strands of spider silk that had yet to solidify shot out from Hopper's abdomen, scattering like fireworks.

At this time, the purple-legged spider had already rushed in front of Hopper!

Two spiky front legs were raised high, fiercely stabbing towards Hopper!

It attempted to pierce through Hopper directly, killing him in one shot!

Just as its front legs were less than a hair's breadth away from Hopper's head...

It was unable to make any further movements!

Because whether it was its front legs or its entire body...

At this time, it was already stuck by the spider silk that had spread out in all directions!

Hopper, who had a sufficient understanding of arthropods...

Was able to see at a glance the purple-legged young spider's most powerful attack method.

It relied on its speed advantage to launch a charge, using its spear-like forelegs to pierce through the enemy.

Perhaps its previous battle experience and natural battle instinct would allow it to actively avoid the spider silk shot by Hopper during the process of charging.

However, its attack methods were limited. If it wanted to kill Hopper, it had to come to Hopper's side.

Even if there was a risk of being stuck to the spider silk, as long as it successfully got close to Hopper, it would be able to pierce through Hopper's body with one shot!

However, with only its battle instincts, how could it possibly think that it could win easily?

Hopper's spider silk had been upgraded by the mythical-level talent 'Unlimited Enhancement'!

It had the same level of 'tenacity' characteristic as the 'Anzor spider egg inner membrane'!

Once it was stuck to the spider silk, the tenacity was strong enough to make it unable to make any movements.

Therefore, it could only watch helplessly as Hopper lay in front of it.

It slowly moved away from its spear-like sharp feet.

Phew! Fortunately, my reaction was not slow!

Hopper patted his chest with his middle and upper feet and let out a long sigh.

At the same time, he touched his small head with his front feet.

If he were still a human, his forehead and back would probably be covered in a cold sweat.

He had just used this move at the risk of his life.

After all, he had to voluntarily expose his unprotected abdomen to the enemy.

If his reaction was one beat slower than the juvenile purple-legged spider, his abdomen had been stabbed by its sharp forefoot.

Even if he did not die, he would have been seriously injured!

The final result could only be said to be a thrilling but not dangerous one.

This juvenile purple-legged spider, which was stuck by its own silk, was unable to move.

It could be considered to have become its prey. At the same time, it also announced that the battle had ended.

What I need to do next is to eat and absorb!

I wonder what special characteristics and skills this young spider will allow me to obtain?

How many more strengthening points will it give me than absorbing eggshells?

Thinking of this, Hopper looked towards the young purple-legged spider.

The other party's eight legs were constantly shaking, and its body was undulating.

But Hopper could see that it was not afraid.

Or rather, the young spiders were just born.

They only had the instinct to fight and kill to survive.

They did not even feel fear or joy.

Its body was shaking and heaving because it was trying to lift its foot.

It was trying to pierce through the silk with its spiky front foot.

But how could Hopper's silk break so easily?

If it had not been for the fact that acid from the poison glands in its mouth could corrode the membrane, Hopper would still be trapped in the egg.

The only result of the young purple-footed spider's struggle was more and more silk wrapped around its body.

Its movements became weaker and weaker.

Until it was completely wrapped in Hopper's silk.

Outside, it could only see a ball of spider silk.

Occasionally, it would shake slightly.

It seemed that it did not have much strength left.

Seeing this, Hopper began to calculate in his mind.

After all, he only had the 'Spider Silk Spray' skill for the time being.

If the young purple-legged spider suddenly counterattacked before it died, it would be dangerous.

After the ball of spider silk wrapped around the young purple-legged spider stopped moving completely, Hopper crawled over.

He opened his mouth towards the spider silk and bit down on his teeth that were already full of acid.

Hmm...? ...It was quite fat and tender. Was this the taste of spider meat?

As Hopper was savoring the taste of the young purple-legged spider, a new notification appeared on the light screen in front of him.

[Absorbing 'Anzor spider juvenile', acquired special characteristic 'swift', +1 strengthening points.]
