Chapter 41 - Monster Hunters (1)

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Lampitz State University, in District B of the city of Kadam. Although it was called a university, in reality, it was like a small town. State University occupied almost the entire area of area B, with an area of about 2,000 mu. According to the information obtained from Zero, this University City had many academic institutions, dorms and research rooms. Among them, public places include a football field, skating rink, music hall and auditorium.

The school also has its own power generation facilities, garbage incinerator, water cycle equipment and other living facilities. The university was divided into four areas by a straight concrete cross-section, each with a cobwebbed path connecting the buildings with different functions.

Before the University City was damaged, they already existed like a maze. Now, a portion of the buildings had been destroyed by the meteorites, and the ground had been broken. Many of the functional buildings had collapsed, changing the topography of the University City and causing the entire school to become an even more complicated maze.

This state university, on the other hand, was about the same size as the Remot, and had the functional facilities left behind from the old era. If the Remot could occupy this place and repair a portion of the facilities here, then the University City would be able to expand and expand into a new foothold, and it would even become completely new in a few years time.

From this, it could be seen how urgent it was for the Remot to acquire the Regional Universities.

The sun was about to set, and the night was about to rule the land. This was also when the mutated beasts were still active. After all, he had three other competitors. Without a doubt, one of them still wanted to kill him.

But looking at this intricate landscape, he smiled. It was not certain who would be the victor. Although the Meteor Su Domain was powerful, it did not mean that they were invincible.

In the wilderness, accidents could happen at any time. As for Zero, he belonged to the wilderness.

Before coming to the University City, he threw Lala into a mechanized stone. There was enough metal to feed the cub. Although Lala's gastric juice could dissolve gold and iron, there were so many rock spider in the ruins that Lala could only play a limited role. Zero did not put him in danger. On the other hand, he alone could bring out his full combat power.

There was a faint sound in his ears. It was the sound of wheels pressing against the ground. It came from the ruins a few kilometers away. Knowing that his competitors were here, he took off the golden right eye's goggles and secretly put it into the multifunctional army bag on his back. In its dragon-like eyes, University City was like a giant beast that was stung by the night, while Zero's figure directly disappeared into its mouth.

Two days passed.

It was early in the morning. In the hall on the first floor of the library, Lingcun was hiding behind a bookcase that had been turned upside down. When the morning sun fell on them, the adult height of the rubble began to tremble.

A half meter long yellow-brown rock rolled to the ground. However, when it touched the ground, six cracks appeared on the edge of the rock. The rocks at the edge of the cliff split open and stuck out. They were connected to the black limbs. These six limbs propped up the rock

The front stone split from a third of the way down, the back end receding to form the chest and belly parts. A semi-elliptical black organ protruded from the front of the chest, and six pairs of compound eyes emerged from the top of the object, arranged in two rows on either side. Then a pair of chelating teeth appeared.

Just like this, a rock spider completed its transformation from a rock to a living creature right under Zero's eyes. And as the radius of the sunlight expanded, more and more stones turned into rock spider, and then quickly crawled towards the shadow of the library.

When one of the rock spider was dazzled by the sunlight, and crawled towards the bookshelf where Zero was hiding in panic, Zero took out an alloy dagger and slowly raised it.

The moment the mutated beast appeared, the dagger stabbed into the soft, gelatinous crack between the chest plate and abdomen of the rock spider. In an instant, the rock spider retracted its limbs and head, turning from a living being into a rock.

This was the result of over a hundred experiments with rock spider in the past two days. The soft, gelatinous substance that connected the chest to the abdomen seemed to be the nerve center of this mutated beast. After being pierced by the sharp object, the spider's nerves would be cut off, resulting in the appearance of a biological coma. Before falling into a coma, the spider, out of self-preservation, retracts all its external organs and limbs, turning them into stone to confuse other creatures.

The rock spider that had fainted almost never woke up again, but it was still alive. However, without food, the spider could only survive for a day or two. Such a thing could be considered a good living specimen, but it was a pity that monsters half a meter in length and width did not want to transport it back no matter how small it was.

Zero gently moved the unconscious spider to his feet. Due to the dagger still sticking out of its body, the spider's stone form was not complete. Zero circled the spider with the dagger and cut the spider into two along the gelatinous substance. Green spider blood flowed out from the gaping hole, and the spider could no longer maintain its stone form, from a coma to a dead body. Without the control of its nerves and muscles, its hidden limbs and head slipped out of its body.

The body of the rock spider was wrapped in a thin carapace the color of stone. This shell was abnormally solid. When the dagger stabbed into it, sparks flew. He reckoned that if he were to use the minicomputer to attack, it would not be able to break through the defense of the carapace at all.

The limbless foot, the zero cut of the black part. In addition to the rock shell, the black part of the skin of the foot was quite fragile and could almost be broken with a single poke. However, the muscles inside the shell were especially delicate. The muscles and veins of the spider twisted in a strip. These muscle fiber s provided the spider with sufficient strength to support its weight, and they also had explosive power, allowing it to accelerate when necessary, allowing it to instantly catch its prey.

As for the compound eyes on the head, Wu Zu discovered that they had eye muscles that could rotate 180 degrees. That was the vision provided to rock spider s that had almost no dead angle. Well, just about. The relatively large abdomen made the rear part of the spider the only blind spot.

A pair of chelated teeth protruded from the monster's mouth. The teeth were hollow inside, and a piece of elastic muscle could eject a sharp tube from the tooth. When a spider bites into a human body, it can suck the blood of its prey through a suction tube. There was no poison sac in this pair of teeth, but the spider silk that the rock spider spat out had a nerve poison, it could wrap around prey with spider silk and penetrate their pores, paralyzing their bodies.

The entire dissecting process took more than half an hour. Although he could not bring back the living specimen, the information he obtained after dissecting the specimen was kept at zero. This piece of information was as valuable as a living specimen. He believed that Theon would be willing to pay for it.

Keeping the dagger, he walked out of the library. He had already completed the drawing of the map representing the western region of University City.

[Starting from today, the classification of the beasts has changed. Under the effect of the four chapters, I plead for everyone to collect them. Thank you everyone!]
