Chapter 155: Balloon spider

After witnessing the miserable encounters of their companions, other "balloon monsters" began desperately to release hydrogen, their volume also sharply reduced, and the direction of the air jet was directed upwards.

The thrust brought by the airflow combined with gravity, the "balloons" suddenly fell down at high speed.

Obviously, they intend to return to the jungle on the ground.

They seem to realize that if they continue to float in the air, they will only become a living target for the enemy, and the ground will be safer.

This bunch of cute balloon monsters are fast inflating and deflating faster. After just 1 second, their volume has been reduced by more than half. The original balloon with a diameter of more than 3 meters quickly shrank to less than 2 meters.

This also brings a side effect-the "sprouting" degree plummets.

Also dropped to a negative value in one breath!

The balloon monster now looks not only not cute, but also a bit hideous.

Because Renault discovered that this is a spider!

Eight hairy legs, round hairy belly (not hot pot hairy belly), sharp mouthparts, what is this not a spider?

Well, just call them balloon spiders.

Now it seems that this peculiar method of "inflating the ball" is not only a way for balloon spiders to escape danger, but also their most important "means of making a living."

The reason is simple, spiders have spider silk!

There are many seabirds on the island. Balloon spiders can turn into balloons and fly into the sky, relying on a unique jet flight. Not only are they fast, but they are also incredibly flexible in changing directions. It is not difficult to approach the flying seabirds.

Once they get closer, they can spray a large amount of spider silk at seabirds. After being entangled by the spider silk, the seabirds will not be able to fly, and they can only obediently become a dish for balloon spiders.

It is indeed a foreign world, even spiders can evolve such a strange way of predation.

Tarantulas are also found on the earth, but compared with their counterparts on earth, otherworldly spiders have more advanced gameplay.

However, Renault pays more attention to another very serious issue than the knowledge of alien biology.

MMP, the balloon spider of Gou Ri, actually deceived my master's feelings, because labor and management thought you were a little cute at the beginning.

(Balloon spider: MMP, you look at you, we didn't make you look at it. Labor and management provoke you. If you don't say hello, throw stones at our house without saying anything, and set us on fire...)

Master Renault, who felt that his body and mind were "seriously wounded", immediately began to take his hand.

(All wild animals in the outside world: MMP, when are your methods not "hot"?).

He frantically urged [Nian Power] and Rune [Wind] to increase the speed to the limit, and then with the huge flying inertia, the sonic sword burst out.

"His..." The fierce airflow disturbance brought a roaring sound. In this earth-shattering appearance of BgM, 4 flying swords turned into horrors, and 4 balloon spiders pierced through them in the blink of an eye, leaving 4 on them. The huge hole.

The balloon spider's body is quite soft and its toughness is also very good, which is very conducive to "changing the ball", but it also has a disadvantage, that is, the hardness is extremely low, or the defense is extremely low.

When the flying sword hit the balloon spider, almost no resistance was encountered, and it penetrated their body effortlessly, and even a few slight pops were heard, just like the popping sound made when puncturing a balloon. .

Only then did the other spiders react, terrified they desperately speeded up their jets, trying to stay away from the terrifying flying sword.

But can they fly faster than the speed of sound?

Can't!

Facing the fierce sonic sword, the balloon spider can't hide or escape, no matter how hard it struggles, it can't escape the fate of a sword through the heart.

So when Renault’s eyes swept over the other four spiders, Cyclonus’ flying sword quickly pulled out four huge arcs in the air, and another four sword lights flashed away. The air slurry and air flow burst, and the “balloon” hit again. 4 bursts.

After repeating the same operation twice, all the balloons were swept away, leaving only more than 10 pieces of corpses falling down.

The whole process takes time-1 second!

The speed is incredible, but Renault thinks this is precisely a huge shortcoming.

It's almost right, but it's too fast, it's too late to collect the soul...

The damage caused by the flying sword to the spiders was more serious than Renault had imagined. Before they landed, their souls appeared one after another. Even if Renault tried his best to rescue them, only 8 souls were obtained, and none of them were in full.

He couldn't help but slapped his mouth. This wave was a little bit of a loss.

After all, the "balloons" are too brittle, they burst when they hit, and die when they burst!

It's really a bunch of waste. Will it die if you resist for two seconds? Isn't it okay to let my lord collect some soul comfortably?

Taking a look at the spider corpse that fell into the forest, Renault had a new worry: so many corpses, the drop location is not consistent, and they have to find them in the jungle and touch the corpses. When will this toss?

It’s better to have a little brother. You don’t have to work hard to clean up so many **** corpses. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, it also affects your appetite for lunch.

(Little brother: MMP, isn't our appetite not our appetite...)

It took a full half an hour for Renault to clean up the corpses of all the spiders, but the hard work was not in vain. He found two fairly large magic stones in the corpses.

Obviously, even in magic creatures, the production rate of balloon spiders’ magic stones is astonishingly high, reaching almost 15%.

Strictly speaking, it is not an exaggeration to call these two magic stones "inferior magic spar", because the part of the magic stone looks clear and translucent, almost the same as the magic crystal, and the other places are mottled and turbid.

This shows that the magic stone has gradually evolved into the magic crystal, which also means another thing: the strength of the balloon spider is only a thin line from the awakened one.

As for the other materials on the spider, such as the surprisingly elastic skin on the body surface, Renault only collected a few samples and prepared to throw them directly to the Rune Research Institute.

Many of those magicians are quite interested in weird materials, maybe they can find suitable uses for spider skins.

He also pulled the spider skin curiously. After pulling a strip of skin five times the length, the skin did not even break, and it performed with ease, which showed its toughness.

For some reason, Renault suddenly remembered the leggings. If a pair of shorts is made from this spider skin, the girls on the earth may also be able to wear nine-point leggings.

After scanning the fragmented wreckage, Renault suddenly thought of a question.

The lifespan of alien spiders far exceeds that of earth spiders. It is not uncommon for some long-lived species to live for dozens or hundreds of years. Balloon spiders are not weak, and their lifespan is certainly not too short.

So the question is, how do they spend the winter?

Hibernate like a tarantula on earth?

Or store a batch of food for the winter?

It's all possible!

You can also prepare a batch of snacks during hibernation. The earth people call this practice "cat winter". Isn't this simply hibernation?

(Of course, the new generation of people on Earth is not just a cat winter, as long as they have a mobile phone, they can cat for a lifetime. This unique ability is enough to slap all alien creatures.)

In addition, spiders are very food-saving. Any food that cannot be eaten is sealed with spider silk for later use.

(Uh, this habit is pretty good. People on the earth should study hard, and even save the refrigerator. How much food and energy are saved?)

From this perspective, it is estimated that all kinds of corpses are indispensable in the nests of these balloon spiders.

They have lived on this island for so long, and the accumulation of "food debris", or biological debris, may be astonishing over time.

So, the most important question is, will there be magic stones in the wreckage?

Thinking of this, Renault's breathing was a little short.
