All of Human Reincarnated, Only I Become a Spider! - Chapter 22

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft…

As the vibration felt by his fur grew stronger and stronger, Hopper was getting closer and closer to the source of the vibration.

After a while, he saw ten scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats flying towards him.

Their sizes were all similar to the three that Hopper had seen when he first came out of the egg sack.

The only difference was that their bodies also had blood-colored patterns similar to those of the giant scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats.

“Looks like it’s already nighttime. These scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats that went out to hunt collectively have all returned.”

“If that’s the case, then as long as we walk in the direction they came from, we’ll definitely be able to leave the crypt!”

Thinking of this, Hopper could not help but feel excited.

The speed of the eight spider legs also increased.

The ten scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats also noticed Hopper on the ground.

Squeak!

After the leading scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat let out a shrill cry, the rest of the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats also followed and flew towards Hopper.

Through the characteristic compound eye, Hopper obtained a wide field of vision. Hopper noticed that their mouths were stained with blood and were currently drooling.

“It seems like they want to treat me as a dessert after dinner! Is it because they have a group of companions?”

“I’m obviously bigger in size than them, yet they still dare to approach me.”

After reaching level 3, Hopper was already very different from when he first came out of his egg sack.

His body size had expanded from the size of an adult’s fist to the size of a basketball.

However, perhaps the ten scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats thought they had the advantage in numbers. They were not afraid of Hopper, who was slightly larger than them.

In their eyes, Hopper seemed like a piece of meat on a chopping block.

Little did they know that this piece of ‘fat meat’ also had a few hard bones, not something that little bats could chew on.

Just as the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats were about to rush in front of Hopper and bite him into pieces, Hopper leaned back and raised his abdomen, shooting out ten strands of spider silk.

Even though the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats had been trying to suppress Hopper’s movements with their screeching sound waves…

How could they have imagined that the frequency of the spider silk that Hopper shot out was actually much higher than their sound waves?

The ten strands of spider silk that had the characteristic of a ‘sharp blade’ were completely unaffected by the sound waves.

Puff! Puff! Puff…

Along with several piercing sounds, Hopper’s spider silk was like steel needles.

It pierced into the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats’ mouths, completely penetrating their bodies, and finally nailed them to the wall.

However, these scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats did not die because of this.

After being pierced through by the spider silk, they were unable to move. They could only hang in the air and flap their wings in extreme pain.

As a result of their struggle, their small internal organs were twisted into a ball by the high-frequency vibration of the sharp spider silk.

Di da! Di da! Di da…

Fresh blood dripped continuously from the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat’s mouth, dyeing the pure white spider silk red.

The blood-colored patterns on the wings that were originally suffused with red light gradually dimmed.

Their signs of life seemed to gradually fade along with the blood-red patterns on their bodies.

After a few seconds, the scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats stopped moving.

“After my spider silk obtained the sharp blade characteristic, coupled with high-frequency vibration, it’s practically an invincible spear!”

He knew in advance that these ten scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats would not be able to block the spider silk that he shot out.

However, after the spider silk was coupled with the destructive power of high-frequency vibration, It was beyond Hopper’s wildest dreams.

[Absorbing scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat. Experience points +5.]

[During the course of your meal, you have regained some of your strength through the special ‘blood-sucking’ feature.]

“Huh? How come I didn’t get any bonus points this time?”

“Is it because I’ve leveled up? And this blood-sucking…”

Hopper was wondering if it was because his level had increased, as he was unable to obtain strengthening points from the low-level scarlet-eyed silver-winged bat.

The corpse that he had swallowed turned into a stream of heat inside his body.

When the stream of heat disappeared, Hopper was surprised.

His body, which had been exhausted from many battles, was weak. Under the nourishment of the heat stream, it was actually full of vitality.

Just as the hint said, this blood-sucking characteristic allows me to recover my strength through eating. Then, I can go all out towards the cave entrance. I do not need to rest during the journey.

Realizing this, Hopper shrunk his abdomen and pulled back the spider silk nailed to the wall.

Along with the spider silk, he pulled back the corpses of the other nine scarlet-eyed silver-winged bats. Hopper opened his sharp claws and wrapped up the crushed corpses with a bag made of spider webs.

Then, he picked up the bag of crushed corpses and began to move at full speed towards the cave entrance.

“Hey! These skeletons seem to be…”

After walking for an unknown period of time, the environment around Hopper had also changed quite a bit.

Near his birthplace, he could only feel the darkness, humidity, and cool breeze.

However, now, even as the fluorescent moss around him dwindled, Hopper was able to see into the cave. It was not because Hopper’s vision had been enhanced by his compound eye.

It was because his surroundings were becoming more open, and the spines and columns that had blocked out the light were now rarely seen.

Most importantly, after the surroundings became brighter, Hopper discovered that no matter how badly the broken bones on the ground were damaged.

All the skulls and bodies were heading in the same direction at the same time!

And that direction was exactly what Hopper could feel through the characteristic ‘echo’.

The direction where the air flow in the entire cave was the fastest!

“Not far ahead is the cave entrance!”
