14 Obtain the Characteristic ‘Echo’ and Lay Down a Spider Web to Await the Arrival of Its Prey

There was only a 'cha' sound.

This scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat was about to swallow Hopper whole, but it was caught off guard by the spider web that shot out from Hopper's abdomen. It was directly cut into several pieces.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A burst of air-piercing sound rang out.

Hopper, who was still in the air, maintained his downward momentum.

He shot four strands of spider silk at the broken scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat beside him.

The four strands of spider silk accurately hit the four horns of one of the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat's silver wings.

Hopper pulled slightly with his abdomen, and the silver bat wings flew toward Hopper.

Hopper leaned back and continued to fall with his back facing the ground.

Under the traction of the four spider webs, the silver bat wings became a 'parachute' that Hopper used to cushion himself.

"It seems like I was born in a random cave."

As he slowly descended, Hopper opened his eight small eyes wide and looked around.

The surrounding environment was still pitch black, only a few patches of unknown moss were emitting a faint fluorescent light.

Hopper made a judgment about where he is now with the dim lighting combined with the location of three red-eyed silver-winged bats.

"If I'm not mistaken, the area I'm in right now is actually the territory of these bats."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have met three red-eyed silver-winged bats at the same time. They should be the sentry guards in this area."

"Since I killed them, it can be considered that I have made enemies with them. It seems that I have to be prepared to welcome the guests."

Thinking of this, Hopper quickly scanned the surroundings.

After confirming that there were no enemies for the time being, he began to shoot a spiderweb in the direction where the red-eyed silver-winged bats flew in his memory.

"Spread out!"

When the spiderweb flew to the highest point, Hopper gave the 'command' to the spiderweb.

The spiderweb, which was originally the size of an adult's palm, expanded to the size of a table in an instant.

Then, it stuck firmly to the surrounding walls. A spider web that was so thin that it could not be seen by the naked eye was erected.

'Controlling the spider web to expand' was a skill that Hopper had learned in the battle just now.

When Hopper discovered that the spiderweb had shot out from his abdomen, it would gradually expand from the size of a fingernail to the size of a table as it flew.

However, as long as he gave the 'command' to the spider web, he could expand it to any size ahead of time.

Seeing that the spider web defense line had been set up successfully, Hopper walked toward the bat corpses on the ground with relief.

At the same time the notification popped up on the screen in front of him, Hopper felt waves of energy surging toward the fur all over his body.

This caused his fur to stand on end. Hopper suddenly realized that he could sense vibrations in the distance through his fur.

"It seems that this characteristic called echo can strengthen my perceptive ability. The principle should be the same as the bat's sound wave location."

Although Hopper was still unable to understand the message these vibrations were sending, he clearly understood what was the 'echo' characteristic that he had just obtained.

Thus, he continued to use his sharp short dagger claws to gnaw at the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat's corpse.

[...]

Hopper had sharp claws coupled with his agility which was enhanced by the 'swift' characteristic.

In just a short while, Hopper had completely digested and absorbed the three scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats.

It allowed them to be converted into experience points and strengthening points in their stomachs.

"My luck is not bad. During these few minutes of eating, there were no customers at my door."

After eating, Hopper looked up at the empty spider web and sighed.

Then, he relaxed his tense nerves and climbed onto the spider web to rest.

Ever since he came to the world to regain consciousness, Hopper had not stopped for a second.

Whether it was the panic and helplessness when he discovered that he had reincarnated into a young spider in the spider egg.

Or the life-and-death battle with the three young spiders after breaking out of the shell.

Or it was attacked by the three scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats, which were the natural enemies of spiders.

During this period, Hopper's mental state had been under high pressure.

Now that the crisis was over, Hopper could finally stop and catch his breath. He sorted out his thoughts and sorted out the information he had now.

"I've been fighting all this time. The only information I know is those that I learned from my status panel."

"Other than the 'information' item, there's another 'communication' item on the screen."

"According to my previous speculation, the 'information' item is the personal information of the reincarnated. The 'communication' item should be a communication platform for us reincarnated from Blue Planet."

Thinking of this, Hopper cut the screen in front of him from the [information] back to the main screen.

Then he clicked on the [communication] option that he had not had the time to look at.

As the screen moved back and forth, the [communication] option expanded into three options.

The first option was [world channel], and the second option was [regional channel].

The third option was the only gray option, called [faction channel].

At the bottom of the gray channel, there was a string of words.

[364 days, 23 hours, and 15 minutes until the channel opens.]
