"Come on... I suggest it's best to save it."
"Maybe your spider really is some kind of unique guardian beast."
"Also, didn't you say earlier that spiders run to hunt monsters alone?"
"Because the upgrade is so fast, if I were you, I would join the hunt with him to share the experience early."
Miuran said with an envious expression.
After all, this was the correct way for a beast handler to level up.
"Not going!"
"My legs buckled at the sight of the spider."
"Otherwise, when you reach level 10, come here and take me to level up with you."
Alice immediately refused upon hearing Miuran's words. The two women chatted privately for a moment, and immediately turned off the friend list.
Inside the hut at this time, after Alice sighed, a white light flashed on her body, and she immediately went offline.
......
The 'Ant Kingdom' area.
William was like an assassin hiding in the shadows, skillfully using the mutated spider silk to attract monsters and hunt them down.
And as time went by, the ant nest had been destroyed by him.
With the huge increase in experience points, his level was also directly approaching level 30.
Not only that, but with a large amount of hunting, the evolutionary genes of the ants that William swallowed had already approached the 100,000-point mark. And it's not the most important thing except the biggest anthill.
Every time William toppled an ant nest, the ordinary queen ants within would give him a corresponding soul value. And just like that, a full day passed.
More than a dozen anthills in the vicinity were hunted down by William to the extent that only the largest one was left and his soul value finally broke through to 100 points at this moment.
"Oh? My soul value has already reached 100 points?"
After glancing at the ant corpses all over the ground, William directly summoned the attribute template.
Name: William
Race: Mutant spider (larvae)
Levels: 29
Grade: Ordinary
Ability: Mutant Spider Silk X1, Intermediate Strength Enhancement
Evolutionary gene: [ant gene 120,000 points] - non-species gene has reached the state of evolution, do you want to activate the evolutionary feature?
Soul value: 103 (meets transformation condition, will it activate metamorphosis?)）
"Finally fulfilled the requirements..."
"Since that's the case, let's get started."
William took a deep breath. The next moment, William chose the evolution gene and soul value to agree.
'Ding... Consume 100,000 ant genes, strengthen mid-level strength, and successfully evolve to high-level....'
'Ding... Consume 100 soul points, get a leap of improvement in quality of life, and rank up...'
'Your mutant spider silk count has increased...'
'You awakened a new ability that is paralytic poison...'
Description: You have become strong enough to need stronger opponents to increase your strength.
At this time information sounded in William's ears. Finally, William's first quality-of-life jump has come to an end.
At the same time, in addition to getting a new ability, namely paralyzing poison. William's first quality-of-life jump also made a big change in his spider form.
Previously, he was only the size of a basketball, and his body had grown to the size of a human calf. Thick spider legs with shining black teeth. Even the eyes that were flashing red in the upper area of the spider's abdomen looked extremely hideous.
It is conceivable that if Alice saw William one more time, she was worried that she would immediately get scared and faint.
After feeling his own change a bit, William was quite satisfied.
"Although it is only the initial change, it seems that my metamorphosis is stronger than other Grade Ordinary beast guardians."
"Is it because of the system?"
As a person who was reborn, William still knew a lot about the various guardian beasts. It was like the players had also entered the War Zone rankings.
Especially the Frozen wolves must be stronger than the Wind Wolves. Because the abilities of the frozen wolf are more suitable for combat and more lethal.
Wind wolves, on the other hand, only focused on speed.
Now that William has completed his first quality-of-life leap, William has not only awakened the ability to paralyze poison, but even the spider silk has mutated from the previous one to three.
This means William can attack three targets at once. The group hunting skill was at least three times faster than before.
Moreover, the increase in strength has completely reached an advanced level. At this level, the increase in passive strength has reached 50 times.
Coupled with his own strength, William can rest assured that this combat power, can even kill the Transcendent-level queen ant who is suspected of being hidden in the ant kingdom.
After getting a little familiar with his own strength, William's gaze finally caught sight of the largest anthill in front of him.
"Kill this boss, I should be able to leave the novice village sooner."
"I see... Hunting, it's good to start now."
Because spiders can't speak, William only makes very strange sounds as if talking to himself.
The next moment William's spider legs moved, and he quickly rushed forward.
'Bang bang... Bang bang... Bang bang...
Wherever the spider legs went, all the ants that had stopped in front of them were torn apart by the powerful force.
Now, William no longer had to rely on mutated spider silk to hunt monsters.
Strong legs and sharp teeth can easily kill ants in seconds.
Furthermore, after the metamorphosis, William's defensive strength also increased several times. Even if it is surrounded by a large number of red ants, it is difficult to break.
Hence, the only enemy was the red ant queen who was suspected of being a Transcendent Grade insect race.
"Now that my fate has changed, I am no longer the weakest little bug that can only kill ants!" William chuckled.
It's not uncommon to kill stronger enemies to win battles. At least William had seen a lot in his last life.
For example, the Void Mantis once ranked over 800 on the List of Combat Beast Power in the Scorpion Domain, had once slaughtered a Stary Sky Grade golden eagle even though they were both of the same race of beasts.
It can be seen that it is not only the quality of life that affects combat power. In fact, battles against powerful monsters had a lot to do with innate abilities.
Sometimes, great innate abilities can make up for the monsters themselves.
Just as the Void Mantis guardian beast that once belonged to a Ranker player had swallowed the Atavistic Fruit, managed to return to its ancient bloodline, and awakened the ability to slash the starry sky.
In fact, its owner once said that if the Void Mantis guardian beast can find a suitable treasure resource, it is not impossible to break through to Starry Sky Beast.
Of course, this was also based on the fact that the level difference between the two sides wasn't that great.
If that Void Mantis was up against a Planetary Beast, it would be a different matter.
Now William has awakened two main abilities.
Among them, the increase in strength has reached a high level, and the increase in strength has reached fifty times. Coupled with the paralyzing poison and mutated spider silk, it can also kill a Transcendent Grade ant queen.
At least a species like the queen ant, even if they reached the Transcendent Grade, it was still an insect after all.
It could be understood as the lowest existence of the Transcendent Grade.
'Bang bang... Bang bang...'
Under William's vigorous hunting, more and more corpses were piled up near the largest ant nest.
This naturally worried the queen ant deep in the nest.
Screeechhhh!
In an instant, shocked screams were transmitted from within the nest.
It was like a sonic attack, impacting William's brain.
This made him suddenly stunned for a moment, and his movements that were originally quick and wind-like became sluggish.
Sassa.Sassa..Sassa...
In almost the blink of an eye, William was surrounded by countless army ants.
"Damn, this red ant queen is surprisingly good at mental attacks." William looked pale.
In the face of hundreds of red ant soldiers the size of a human foot, although William's defense is extraordinary, and can withstand several dozen bites, but the number is too much.
Swoosh!
Fortunately, at the moment of crisis, William quickly shot mutant spider silk toward the big tree next to him. Then under a huge tug, William's body suddenly rushed out of the encirclement.
"Can use mental attacks, and also control any red ants it seems the queen ant is not weak."
"However, the better the monster with spiritual power, the weaker the physical defense, if I can kill it directly into the nest, I should be able to kill it quickly."
William thought for a moment and quickly made a decision. There are too many ants in this nest, to bulldoze quickly, at least it takes a whole day, not to mention there is also the risk of being surrounded at any time.
However, if William can catch the red ant queen first, he can directly charge into the nest to complete today's killing.
At that time, without the control of the ant queen's mind, these controlled red ants will immediately create chaos, which is conducive to hunting these monsters alone.
"Time for action!" William began to use his own advantages to start attracting monsters. Just like riding a horse, he used the spider silk as a handle and climbed on one of the biggest red ants.
Sassa.Sassa..Sassa...
Gradually, countless ants chased behind him, watching him from a distance like a tidal spray.
As for William, he controlled the biggest red ant among the others away from the nest of the queen ant.
The speed wasn't too fast because it was to make sure all the red ants could follow.
-----
It's been an hour or two.
"It seems that the red ant army in the nest of the queen ant has been completely used up!"
Seeing it from a distance and feeling that the huge anthill no longer gave off even a hint of red ants, William started to increase his speed. It then used the darting spider silk to jump between the trees, only taking ten minutes to return to the ant queen's nest.
The next moment, a spider figure swiftly slipped in.
'Sassa. Sassa..Sassa...'
Deep in the nest.
The queen ant seemed to feel a sense of crisis, and constantly sent out a unique spiritual frequency, wanting to summon the red ant army that was sent to hunt down the enemy.
However, because William led the red ant army too far from the queen ant nest, even if the red ant army rushed very fast, it would take five minutes to return to the ant nest.
And just like that, it didn't take long for the queen ant to see a spider the size of a calf appear in front of her.
In an instant, the two sides looked at each other.
William could see the ant queen's current state at a glance.
"That's just as I expected."
This queen ant, however, had spiritual pressure fluctuations unique to a Transcendent Grade species.
At the same time, the body was even twice as big as William's.
Especially on the abdomen, William could vaguely see countless dense points of light creeping up.
Hatch, hatch ...
"Disgusting!"
Obviously, this queen is breeding red ants.
At this time, after casually looking at the red ant queen, William finally made his move.
There was no need to see the ant queen's body was bigger than hers. As mentioned before, the other party can only attack the enemy's spirituality.
Therefore, under such a close attack, William's chances of victory can be described as unnerving.
Hisss!
William's compound eyes bloomed with cold light, and three extremely hard mutant spider silks directly penetrated towards the ant queen.
'Swish! swish! Swish!'
Under immense force, the Transcendent Grade ant queen was suddenly blown back several meters away.
Screech!!!
Immediately, screams came out again. The spiritual impact instantly rushed toward William's head. However, at this time, he was ready.
The mutant spider silk that shot out not only chased away the queen, but even penetrated the wall inside the hive.
Taking advantage of the queen ant's opportunity to launch a spiritual attack, three spider silks wrapped around the queen ant's body, and then pulled it tightly.
This is the same as using spider silk to pull the big tree before.
In an instant, William appeared in front of the ant queen.
"If only I had acquired an ability suitable for my sharp legs!" William muttered under his breath and subconsciously thought about the Void Mantis' attack ability.
If William had the Void Mantis attack ability, then his sharp spider legs would be even more useful in fights against monsters that were very strong in physical defense.
Hand-to-hand combat begins immediately.
With the blessing of high-grade strength enhancement, fifty times his strength actually exploded.
Crack!
In an instant, the ant queen's body was torn apart.
What was even more terrifying was that the paralyzing poison was also being injected into it at this moment. In just an instant, the ant queen's swollen body became 'stiff'.
In fact, under the invasion of the massive amount of poison, it had lost the ability to move and was unable to even make a sound.
Seeing the queen ant not moving, William looked overjoyed.
Waving his sharp legs, William continuously tore through the opponent's body.
Finally...
As William tore the ant queen's body to pieces, a system prompt sounded in his mind.
'Ding... After killing the Transcendent Rank Ant Queen, you gain +10,000 ant evolution gene points... +50,000 experience points... +500 soul points...'
'Obtain the [Transcendent Grade Template (Red Ant Queen)]...'
"The misty grass, I got a big harvest! It produced a template for the players."
"It's just that I can't seem to use this thing." William couldn't help but mutter.
