Chapter 36 - Sneak Attack

This aborigine was very similar in color to the stone on the cliff, and it was hidden in the crevice of the rock. It didn't move before, like a dead thing. Rowan's attention was all on the green field below, and he didn't realize that the rock-like object was actually a living thing.

However, his eyes have a wide range of vision. Although the aborigine's hidden location is very close to him, Rowan still reacted the moment it was activated.

His eyes have been continuously evolving. Not only has the range of clear vision increased from 20 meters to 30 meters, but the refresh rate of dynamic vision has also soared to a higher level.

In an instant, the rushing figure came into view clearly. This is a spider-like animal with a huge body, even several times larger than Rowan at this time.

The body is like a fortress, divided into two sections, one section for the head and chest, and one section for the round abdomen, which is covered with fluff. There are eight black eyeball-shaped eyes on the head, arranged in three rows, with four small eyes in the front row, two big eyes in the middle row, and two small eyes in the back row.

There is a pair of chelicerae growing on the mouth, and the chelicerae are tilted up at this time, revealing the sharp fangs covered by it.

It has eight thick legs with multiple joints, and it looks like a very flexible structure. The legs are also covered with fluff, with small thorns, and small claws at the end.

At this time, it was stretching out its eight legs and jumped up, like a big net falling from the sky, trying to cover Luo Wen with its size advantage.

Luo Wen originally thought that his body size was already very large, and in the desert above, relying on his body size advantage to fight ordinary worker ants was like abusing vegetables. Unexpectedly, when he came to the new environment, the first creature he encountered crushed him in size.

He didn't want to know the consequences of being covered by this big net, and he didn't want to try whether his armor could resist the pair of sharp fangs. Moreover, the position he is in now is quite awkward, his whole body is half-hanging on the cliff, and it is impossible for him to make any aggressive dodging movements at all.

At this time, the distance from the ground was not very high, and Luo Wen simply let go of the hook claws, intending to jump directly from the cliff to the place below, so as to avoid this round of attacks by the way.

Unexpectedly, the moment Luo Wen left the cliff, the spider had already rushed forward, and its legs stretched out like lightning towards Luo Wen who was about to fall.

Rowan reacted quickly, stretching out his thick digging feet to block in front of him.

The fluff on that step foot stood up, and they were all slender and sharp barbs. The moment the step foot touched Rowan, it stuck to the digging foot and pulled him back. The prey that jumps off the cliff is experienced.

After that, a pair of fangs came together.

"Fuck!" Rowan cursed in horror, he was still careless, each of these creatures has its own unique skills to survive, and its own reaction has long been expected.

Those fluffs seemed slender and would break if pulled, but they were actually very strong. Although Rowan struggled hard, he still couldn't break free from their pull.

The sharp fangs bit the excavating foot, and after the thick armor of the excavating foot was in a stalemate with the fangs for a while, cracks began to be squeezed out.

Then the tip of the fangs pierced through the crack and pierced into the muscle inside, and a tingling sensation came to Luo Wen's heart.

Fuck! Luo Wen was frightened and angry, this thing is so awesome that it is poisoned!

The situation is very bad, if the stalemate continues, I may lose my life!

At the critical moment, Luo Wen's eyes were also red, and he tried his best to bring the big teeth on the side of his mouth to the joint of the excavating foot, and bit it off with all his might.

The moment the excavator's foot was separated from the body, the spider fell back, and Rowan also took the opportunity to break free from the spider's control. He seized this momentary opportunity, the six jointed limbs exerted force at the same time, and the newly acquired ability ejected and started.

The speed broke through to the extreme in an instant, and a black shadow popped out from the crack of the cliff and fell to the ground below.

The spider leaned out. Although it had quite a few eyes, eight in total, it still seemed to be nearsighted. Rowan, who had fallen below, was out of its field of vision at this time.

Fortunately, it was not without harvest, the spider bit its digging foot and retracted again. After a while, there was no movement as before.

Rowan fell on the grass, and he struggled to pull the grass blades away. The moment he touched the ground, he raised his buttocks and dug quickly. At this time, he lost a digging foot, and his digging speed slowed down.

But at this moment, he couldn't care about anything else, only the deep underground could bring him a sense of security.

However, the wound is still a little numb, and the muscles inside are beginning to melt, which is indeed a bit toxic.

"MD, that thing really doesn't talk about martial ethics, not only is it poisonous, but it's also extremely poisonous!"

Stretching out its head vigorously, bit off the jointed limb of the excavating foot from the root, and rubbed its teeth on the soil to prevent the toxin from entering. If the toxin gets into his mouth, he can't bite off his head to prevent the toxin from spreading, so it's better to prevent it.

After digging down for an unknown period of time, the tentacles and fluff struggled to sense, but no living things were found nearby. Luo Wen ate a few mouthfuls of soil indiscriminately. He never expected that he would encounter an emergency situation that required eating soil so soon.

The amount of soil was large enough, and Luo Wen quickly ate his fill, his consciousness slowly fell into a deep sleep, and he began to repair his injuries. The injury this time is a serious injury with missing arms and legs, and it is estimated that it will take some time to recover.

I don't know how long it took before Rowan woke up and checked his body. This time there was no chrysalis, but new digging feet had grown out.

It's just that this new digging leg is several times smaller than the other one. He is holding two digging legs, one big and one small, not only looks a little ridiculous, but also looks very awkward.

"This is the obsessive-compulsive disorder that is trying to kill me." Luo Wen was a little heartbroken.

However, he believes that with his genes, as long as the nutrition is in place, this little digger should be able to grow into a normal state soon.

Feeling the hunger in his belly, he began to climb upwards. This soil can be eaten less or less, the energy conversion rate is very low, this time eating soil gave him the first big experience after becoming a bug. Let him know that he has this function, but the digestive system was too powerful before, and all the food was digested.

The vegetation here is very dense. When it is close to the ground, there are all kinds of intertwined grass roots.

As soon as he cautiously poked his head out of the soil, a bug "whoosh" jumped into the distance on the blade of grass above. Although it moved very fast, Rowan still clearly captured its appearance.

"That's a grasshopper, right?" The insect was oily green, somewhat like a locust, with exceptionally well-developed hind legs. It looked like a good jumper, but it didn't have the wings of a locust.

Its back is also covered with a layer of carapace, but it can be separated from the middle to both sides when it takes off, which plays a certain role in maintaining balance.
