Chapter 27

In a wetland full of reeds and calamus, several faint ripples had appeared in the originally calm water.

If one’s eyesight was good enough, one would notice that it was a water strider the size of an adult’s palm that was floating on the surface of the water after its legs were fully spread out, searching for food.

Water striders, also known as water mosquitoes, had long, thin, waterproof, oily hair on their legs, which allowed them to glide on the surface of the water.

Through the contact between their legs and the surface of the water, the two water striders sensed that something had fallen into the water nearby, causing a slight vibration.

After a while, they found several pieces of unknown insect carcasses on the surface of the water.

However, before they could take a bite, several spider webs shot out from the dense reeds like spears.

They accurately pierced through the water striders that were caught off guard, like a python hunting its prey. Hopper tied them up and dragged them toward the reeds.

“I’m getting better at controlling the spider webs.”

Looking at the two water striders that were tied up into a ball by the spider silk, Hopper shook his front legs that had returned to their original state, and slowly withdrew the spider silk.

After jumping down from the waterfall that was hundreds of meters high, Hopper, who had drifted into the wetlands, had already stayed in this area of water for three days.

At that time, Hopper was in the midst of the rapid waterfall, and he was dizzy from the torrent. However, he forcefully opened his eight eyes in the water, and he could vaguely see the cliff.

With the sharp forelegs with high-frequency vibrations inserted into the cliff, Hopper kept changing his position in the fast-moving water to avoid hitting the protruding parts of the cliff as much as possible.

If it was really impossible to avoid, Hopper would curl up his limbs and face the cliff with his body and back covered with dense and thick fur, reducing the possibility of leg and head injuries.

Even so, Hopper was covered with bruises after being battered by the waterfall for hundreds of meters.

However, he had never been hurt in the head, and his consciousness was in an unusually clear and calm state.

His body was almost torn apart by the waterfall, but Hopper had been waiting for an opportunity.

A chance to win a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation. This time, Hopper won the bet.

After being forced down by the waterfall for who knows how many meters, Hopper, who was about to fall into the river under the waterfall, finally found a clear depression on the cliff.

It seemed to be a cave that was blocked by the rapid waterfall.

He had no time to think but think use the spider silk that Hopper had accumulated for a long time. It all shot out from his abdomen at this moment!

Nearly a hundred spider silk with a high-frequency vibration pushed against the rapid waterfall and went against the current.

The spider silk nailed to the edge of the cliff at the entrance of the cave accurately and firmly.

The spider silk was able to stretch for tens of meters due to its ‘tenacity’ characteristic and did not break.

Hopper’s situation of falling in the torrent was finally cushioned.

However, when the first spider silk broke due to it being stretched to its limit, the other spider silk followed closely behind and broke one by one.

Hopper was now less than ten meters away from the river under the waterfall. He had prepared for this for a long time, so he naturally would not let go of this slim chance of survival.

Then, he curled up his body and began to spin, wrapping all the broken spider silk around his body.

Finally, when he was only two or three meters away from the river, he successfully wrapped himself in the spider silk.

The spider silk, which was now several times bigger than a basketball, dropped into the river, pushed hard by the waterfall.

When Hopper woke up from the dizziness after falling into the water, he found that he had already drifted along with one of the many branches of the river.

“Phew! I’ve been in this foreign world for almost five days, and I’m finally about to reach level 10.”

Looking at the notification and information on the screen, Hopper let out a long sigh and turned to look at the other green-footed water strider.

[Race: green-footed water strider.]

[Rank: Mature stage.]

[Level: Level 8.]

[Attributes: Strength 8, spirit 6, constitution 8, agility 10.]

“With the passive skill Keen Insight, hunting is indeed much more convenient.”

When he looked at the other green-footed water strider, the information on the screen in front of Hopper changed.

From his own information, he switched to the information of the green-footed water strider.

Keen Insight was a passive skill that Hopper had learned by consuming strengthening points when he reached level 5.

Although it could not deal any substantial damage to the enemy, it could still obtain a portion of the enemy’s information when he scans the enemy.

Just as Hopper was about to continue eating and absorbing, he suddenly heard a female voice in his mind.

“Who’s going to save me?”
