Chapter 3

You can get features from this?

He looked at the screen in front of him.

Hopper blinked his little eyes thoughtfully.

It seemed that the internal structure of the spider egg was completely different from the outside.

The internal structure of the membrane had the feature of ‘tenacity’.

The external structure of the hard shell feature was ‘hard’.

I do not know whether my spider silk can be compatible with this ‘hard’ feature.

In any case, since this feature can be obtained, it will come in handy sooner or later.

Now the most important thing is to absorb the shell, to obtain strengthening points.

Before the other spiders hatched, he had to ‘cannibalize’ before the brutal killing to gain an advantage.

At the thought of this, Hopper opened and closed his jaw.

He started to nibble at the eggshell that was already slightly chipped.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

It was quite crunchy, and it tasted a little like potato chips.

[Absorbing the ‘Anzor spider egg outer shell’. Strengthening points +1.]

[…]

The screen in front of Hopper kept popping up with notifications.

The hole in the eggshell gradually expanded from the size of Hopper’s head.

It was large enough for him to drill out of the eggshell.

Now that the hole was so wide, he should be able to crawl out, right?

Hopper placed his two front feet on the edge of the hole in the eggshell.

He continued to corrode and absorb the eggshell through the acid secreted from his mouth, obtaining strengthening points.

Meanwhile, he began to try to break free of the eggshell that still covered half of his body.

During this time, he also did not forget to poke out his eight small eyes from the eggshell to observe the strange environment outside the eggshell.

A faint fluorescent light shone through the top of the web bag made of spider silk.

It shone on the uneven ground.

The ground reflected a faint luster.

The ground would ‘shake’ from time to time.

Hmm? Why would the ground shake?

Hopper took a closer look.

It turned out that the ‘ground’ near his eggshell was actually a pile of spider eggs!

The fluorescent light on the ‘ground’ had a strange pattern that was faintly discernible outside the pitch-black spider eggs.

His egg was squeezed among a pile of spider eggs.

It looked extremely small.

Oh my god!

There must be hundreds of eggs!

It seemed that what was waiting for me… was a terrible battle!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

While Hopper was still sighing about the number of eggs around him.

A series of crisp sounds echoed in the net bag.

Although the sound was very subtle, the net bag was not big.

It echoed in the net bag and sounded particularly eerie.

Hearing the familiar chewing sound, Hopper suddenly thought of a situation.

The hair on his back suddenly stood up.

He subconsciously looked up and looked at the source of the sound.

In the distance, there was a young spider that was completely black, maintaining a ‘standing’ position.

To be precise, it seemed to be lying on something.

And the ‘standing’ position allowed Hopper to see its physical features clearly.

Its body size was obviously a lot bigger than Hopper’s.

It only had eight legs that were about the same length as him, but the fur on its back was much denser than his.

It almost covered its entire body and even spread to the eight legs.

The fur was dark blue under the fluorescent light.

It was a sharp contrast to its dark and thick body.

It was like a knight in black armor, wearing a dark blue battle robe.

Perhaps it saw Hopper behind it through the eyes on its back.

The young spider turned sideways and looked back at Hopper.

Hopper was able to see its ‘true face’ clearly.

It had four eyes on its head.

It was big and cute, but Hopper could see it in its eyes. It only wanted to kill and eat.

The fluid coming out of its mouth seemed to be mixed with another color besides the acid that was secreted.

Hopper looked down from its mouth.

The young spider could stand on two legs was because it was lying on top of a broken egg.

It was actually eating an unborn spider baby!

Just as I thought!

This guy is not to be trifled with!

This baby spider had broken out of its shell and had already bitten through the eggshells of other baby spiders.

And had started the elimination round of cannibalism ahead of schedule!

No one knew how much it had grown.

How many unborn young spiders had it eaten?

As Hopper looked at its physical features.

This blue-furred young spider was also looking at Hopper.

It tilted its head slightly, tilting its head.

Then it raised its stubby left forefoot.

It pointed to one side of Hopper.

Did it mean… behind me!?

Hopper, who understood the meaning of the other party’s action, was shocked.

Then, he pounced forward from the eggshell.

Crack!

The moment Hopper fell to the ground, a crisp sound came from behind him.

The eggshell that Hopper was stuck in suddenly cracked open!

It was so close!

If it was not for the blue spider that reminded me.

I would have broken a leg.

Hopper, who had successfully broken free from the eggshell, turned around.

He looked toward the eggshell with lingering fear.

And the guy who ‘helped’ him break out of the eggshell was different from the larger, furry baby blue spider.

Its trunk was not much bigger than Hopper’s, but its eight pitch-black legs were slender and long, like eight long nails stuck in the ground.

There were also several pinkish-purple lines on its legs that glowed faintly.

The purple-legged juvenile spider was glaring at the blue juvenile spider in the distance.

It used its front legs to insert an eggshell into its mouthpart.

The upper jaw and lower jaw of the mouthpart quickly ground the eggshell into pieces.

The blue juvenile spider saw this and was not afraid at all.

It continued to eat the corpse of the baby spider in the eggshell beside it.

Then it raised its stubby left front leg.

It pointed at Hopper in the direction of the baby purple-legged spider.

The baby purple-legged spider stretched out its two slender front legs.

It pointed at the baby blue spider twice.

Then it inserted an eggshell into the mouthpart.

It turned around and rushed toward Hopper.

It seemed that they knew each other!

Also, they might have already exchanged blows!

If that’s the case, then they might not be the only young spiders that broke out of their shells early!

After seeing the movements between the blue and purple-footed spiders, Hopper immediately understood the blue spider’s intention to ‘save’ himself.

It was actually planning to use my struggles to buy time for him to continue eating the young spiders in the eggshell!

It was just as Hopper had expected.

After seeing the purple-footed baby spider turn around and rush toward Hopper, the blue baby spider simply sat down beside the eggshell.

While eating the baby spider in the eggshell, it blinked its big eyes at Hopper.

It seemed curious how Hopper would respond to the purple-footed baby spider’s fierce attack.

It was like an audience eating popcorn waiting for the movie to start.

Hopper’s eight small eyes narrowed slightly.

It seems that I was underestimated.

This guy actually used me as a tool to stall time.

Feeling a little upset, Hopper began to accumulate strong spider silk in his abdomen.

Then he turned his head and looked at the purple-footed young spider that was charging toward him.

Although I did not voluntarily come to this world.

But I did not come here to die!

I want to live!
