After familiarizing himself with the surroundings a bit, William's eyes finally looked into the distance.
Right now, the most important thing was to grow quickly.
'Sasasa... Sasasa...'
Immediately, William moved his spider legs and quickly crawled toward the outside of the hut.
Outside was a dense forest.
As soon as William stepped out of the hut, it was like entering another world.
The sounds of various insects and birdsong reached the ears.
But as a person who was reborn, William knew that this hut was quite a place for players to revive.
The area outside the hut was also on par with the novice village in the game, although there wouldn't be too strong monsters under normal circumstances.
However, even an ordinary-grade monster could be considered a terrifying existence in the eyes of the current William.
After all, the current William was just an ordinary spider and had yet to undergo a metamorphosis.
After exiting the hut, William didn't go too far but carefully looked at the surroundings.
"I definitely can't hunt too big a prey now."
"But if I hunt insects like ants, I can do it."
"I just don't know if I will gain experience by killing bugs."
Muttering inside, William planned to give it a try.
Although from humans to other species there have been great changes in the world view. But William quickly adjusted his mentality.
Enter this world with a spider worldview.
Not long after, with great care, William's eyes fell on an ant not far from the hut.
Sassa... Sassa... Sassa...
William quickly crawled towards the other party.
On approaching the ant, the spider's sharpest legs swiftly attack.
Slash!
In an instant, the ant was sliced in half.
[Ding! Gain 1 ant evolution gene point!]
[Ding! Gain 5 experience points!]
"Apparently killing bugs is beneficial." William was overjoyed inside. Then, his gaze swept again and then locked onto the other ants.
But this time William didn't rush to attack, but quietly followed behind the ant.
The goal is naturally to find an anthill.
Complete your first metamorphosis by hunting large numbers of ants.
Sassa... Sassa... Sassa...
In this way, a huge spider silently followed behind the ant, and ten minutes passed, and the ant that had gone out to find food ran to the nest with food.
'Swoosh...'
In the next second, William's speed began to pick up.
Taking advantage of the moment this worker had not yet entered its nest, William immediately rushed out and killed it with lightning speed.
[Ding! Gain 1 ant evolution gene point!]
[Ding! Gain 5 experience points!]
After the ants died, William started a plan to kill the monsters himself.
William then hid on top of an ant hill.
A small piece of food is placed at the door of the nest and begins to wait for the ants to come out.
The effort is less than a moment.
Other ants crawl out of the nest.
'Saa...'
However, before the ants could react, the spider's sharp legs fell directly from the sky and fell on the ants.
[Ding! Gain 1 ant evolution gene point!]
[Ding! Gain 5 experience points!]
Then William did the same, guarding the outside of the nest and constantly hunting for ants.
------
The ant's evolution genes and his experience points increased greatly. It is also unknown how many were hunted down until an hour had passed.
William opened his attribute template with anticipation.
"System, open status info!"
Name: William
Race: Mutant spider (larvae)
Rank: Insect
Levels: 5
Grade: Ordinary
Ability: Mutant Spider Silk X1
Evolutionary genes: [176 ant genes] - non-species genes have reached an evolutionary state, is it evolutionary?
Soul Value: 0 (Soul value can be obtained by killing monsters or extracting treasures.)
"Hahaha, finally the evolution conditions have been reached... Start evolving!"
William chose evolution without hesitation.
"Ding! Consume 100 ant evolution genes, successfully complete the evolution, and through the ant genes, you get [Power Enhancement Elementary Passive]."
As the system command sounded in his mind, William saw a new ability appear on the ability bar.
[Power Enhancement - Elementary Passive]."
[Ability function: This ability passively increases the user's strength by 10 times.]
"The beginner's strength increase has a tenfold increase, and it is still passive."
"The ant gene is very strong."
"If I could reach the middle level, high level, or even the highest level, wouldn't I become very strong?"
William suddenly became excited. Of course, He knew that it was naturally impossible to raise the power-up to a higher level by hunting ants alone.
After all, an ant's innate talent was even weaker than a spider's. However, if William relies on hunting in large numbers to make up for it, he may be able to produce a quantitative change effect on a qualitative change.
Furthermore, William continued to crouch in this anthill.
Ant nests, apart from worker ants, there are even soldier ants, queens, etc.
If the anthill here is successfully exterminated, the second evolution can be completed.
The pleasure of hunting monsters constantly makes William's heart excited, he looks forward to devouring the various abilities of other monsters in the future.

At the same time, after going offline, Alice immediately dialed her friend Miuran's phone number.
"Humph… Alice, you are offline too?"
"Why, was the game I suggested before not fun?"
Miuran's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, don't mention how depressed I was when you mentioned that game."
"You know what? I'm most afraid of spiders, but the game system matches me with one."
"What do you think I should do now? If I delete the account and start over is it ok?"
Alice even complained.
"I'm afraid this won't work, each player's account is very unique, if you delete the account it's tantamount to giving up the qualifications for the game."
"But you are also too unlucky, it is actually a spider, according to the game guide description, it is the worst insect guardian beast."
Miuran came in with a regretful voice.
"Ah, then what will happen to me..."
"I don't want spiders to be my guardian animals."
Alice replied again in a disappointed tone.
"Perhaps ..."
"In fact, the guardian beast matched by the system represents nothing, maybe you will be lucky enough to get Advanced Grade or even Transcendent Grade guardian beast."
"Don't worry! With me here, I should be able to find you a favorite guardian beast."
"Even if you want to buy one, I'll buy you one."
Miuran on the other end of the phone said confidently.
"You can help me find another guardian beast?"
"Listen to your self-confident sentence, it seems that the guardian beast matched by the game system is very good, right? Alright, I'll listen to your suggestion."
Alice asked curiously.
"Hehe, my luck sure is good, I was matched by the game system with the Advanced Grade guardian beast, the Flame Tiger."
"You may not know that the market price of this guardian beast has been bid up to 1 million now."
Miuran answered with a satisfied expression.
"What? Advanced-Grade guardian beasts are sold for 1 million? How come!"
"Can the items in this game really be sold for money?"
Alice asked with a shocked expression.
"Not really..."
"Ordinary Grade guardian beasts are rarely wanted, so there isn't any price. Moreover, Transcendent Grade guardian beasts even bid from 10,000,000."
"Too bad I wasn't matched by the game system with a Transcendent Grade guardian beast."
"It's not bad though, with the Flame Tiger here, my improvement speed should be amazing."
"In the future, you can follow me hunting with peace of mind."
Miuran said proudly.
"Fine, up to you! After all, you are my only girl friend!"
"If you don't take me with you in the future, see if I don't run to your house to make trouble."
"Oh, that's right."
"You have matched such a powerful guardian beast, why are you offline so quickly?"
"Could it be that you specifically want to show off to me?"
Alice suddenly realized something, and her pretty face suddenly darkened.
"Hey, calm down! I know you very well."
"No matter what guardian beast the game system matches, you will go offline to find me."
Miuran burst out laughing.
"Cut your crap."
"I won't praise you anymore, go continue the game, contact me inside when the time comes, and remember to add my account as a friend."
Alice's face darkened, and she immediately hung up.
Soon after, her body moved, and lay down on the game capsule again.
......
[Welcome to the entire era of beast taming….]
When the sound sounded, in the thatched hut, the figure of Alice's game character quickly condensed.
'[Ding! Your guardian beast is currently away from you, do you want to try summoning it?'
The next moment, a prompt suddenly sounded in Alice's mind.
After hearing that voice, she was stunned for a moment.
"Away from me?"
"Strange, as introduced in the game guide, when players are online, shouldn't the guardian beasts automatically enter the guard room?"
"Why is this different from what is written in the game guide?"
Alice was stunned in disbelief. However, despite her hesitation, she chose to summon a guardian beast.
At the same time, William, who was crouching in the anthill to hunt, suddenly heard a system prompt in his mind.
[Ding... The person you are guarding has summoned you, have you chosen to return?]
???
Keep?
Was it a female player before?
Call?
Is it possible that I can still make the decision to decline the summons?
William reacted immediately.
The next moment, filled with emotions of anticipation, William instantly made a choice.
"Rejection!"
[Ding... Since you chose to decline, from now on enable automatic sharing of your location to the players you guard....]
Damn, my current specific location has been shared with her.
William was speechless and muttered. However, he had now reached a critical moment in hunting ants and naturally had no time to take care of female players.
Immediately, William entered the state of hunting ants madly once again.
Meanwhile, in the hut.
[Ding! Your guardian beast rejects the summon… The system activates sharing of the Guardian Beast's location for you, and you can automatically find it yourself.]
???
"The guardian beast refuses to be summoned here?"
"What the heck does this mean?"
"I don't even hate you as a spider anymore, yet you don't want to be summoned by me?"
"This sucks."
In an instant, Alice suddenly became dejected. In fact, the thought of going offline from the game arose in her heart.
