All of Human Reincarnated, Only I Become a Spider! - Chapter 8

“Anzor spider adult? Has this blue juvenile spider reached the second stage?”
“No wonder it’s so much bigger than me and the purple-footed juvenile spider.”
“Also, it can grow to the adult stage so quickly. It seems that it has eaten a lot of unborn juvenile spiders.”
Hopper learned through the information displayed on the light screen in front of him that the growth stage of a monster was divided into a juvenile, adult, mature, and complete.
He, who had just been born, was currently in the first stage of ‘juvenile’.
As for the young blue spider in front of him, perhaps it was because it had eaten quite a number of its own kind, it had already grown to the second stage of ‘adult’.
“If that’s the case, then I’ll have to work harder!”
“Perhaps there are still many young spiders like them who have reached the adult stage.”
Hopper looked around and saw spider eggs everywhere.
He did not know why the spider eggs around him had yet to break their shells.
After fighting with the purple-footed young spider and the blue juvenile spider, Hopper firmly believed that there were definitely many young spiders like them who were born early.
If he did not take the time to absorb and eat to improve his combat strength, he would definitely be eliminated in the later battles!
Thinking of this, Hopper lowered his head and continued to eat the hairy back of the juvenile blue spider.
“Hmm… it’s so hard, it’s like eating bread.”
“However, I didn’t expect to get the characteristics of this juvenile blue spider after eating it.”
“It’s actually as hard as the outer shell of the spider egg.”
“I wonder what will happen if I obtain the same special characteristics.”
[Absorbing ‘Anzo spider adult’… strengthening points +1.]
[Absorbing ‘Anzo spider adult’… strengthening points +1.]
[…]
While Hopper continued to eat the back of the baby blue spider, that strange energy surged out once again and accumulated in Hopper’s body.
“This is? Could it be that I can strengthen some part of my body again?”
With this thought in mind, Hopper swallowed the last piece of flesh on the baby blue spider’s back.
In the next second, two notifications popped up on the light screen in front of him.
[Through absorbing the Anzor spider adult, you have learned the black-iron rank skill, ‘Enhanced Villi’.]
[Enhanced Villi is currently at Level 1. Would you like to use up some enhanced points to upgrade this skill?]
“Enhanced Villi is the skill of this young blue spider?”
“I thought that rolling charge was its skill.”
“This Enhanced Villi doesn’t feel like it’s used for attack…”
Curious, Hopper opened up the description of the enhanced villi skill.
[Skill: Enhanced Villi, black-iron rank level 1]
[Effect: passive skill. The density of villi throughout the body has increased, allowing the user to withstand stronger impacts and more unique characteristics.]
“It’s fine if the user is able to withstand stronger impacts, but what’s with the additional unique characteristics? Could it be…”
Hopper chose to use his enhanced points to upgrade the skill that he had just obtained, Enhanced Villi.
[Enhanced Villi has been upgraded to level 2 and obtained the properties of the inner membrane of the Anzor spider egg, ‘tenacity’, and the outer shell of the Anzor spider egg, ‘hard’.]
As the notification popped up, the energy that had been stored in Hopper’s body for a long time began to surge throughout his body.
Hopper, who had long been mentally prepared, did not panic.
Instead, he quietly felt the changes in his body, lowered his head, and continued to eat the blue spider’s corpse.
As the energy gradually dissipated, Hopper found that his entire body was covered in faint blue fur.
Hopper tried to touch the fur on his body.
“It’s dense and thick. Although it’s very soft, even my long legs can’t easily pierce through it.”
“As expected! Looks like this is the difference between a passive skill and an active skill.”
‘Spider Silk Spray’ and ‘Leg of Piercing’. These two were active skills. Only when I use them, can my spider silk and forefoot ‘temporarily’ gain ‘tenacity’ and ‘hard’ characteristics.
As for this passive skill, ‘Enhanced Villi’, it allows my villi to permanently gain ‘tenacity’ and ‘hard’ characteristics.
Ta-da! ta-da!
Just as Hopper realized the difference between his passive and active skills.
Two high-frequency vibrations came from not far away.
Hopper took a bite of the blue spider’s flesh and looked up.
A red spider, no smaller than the blue spider, was running in his direction.
The red spider was more like a stag beetle than a spider.
Its pincers on its mouth were abnormally thick, like the upper jaw of a spade-worm.
However, unlike the sawtooth upper jaw of a stag beetle, its upper jaw was smooth and sharp.
Under its scarlet skin color, it looked like two sickles that were stained with blood and glinted with cold light.
It was chasing a small, young spider that looked like it had just been born.
The young spider saw Hopper, who was standing in front of it and eating the baby blue spider, and it quickly changed its direction of escape.
However, it was caught and bitten by the red sickle spider. The young spider raised its upper jaw and pinched it.
Crack!
The young spider’s body was cut in half by the red sickle spider.
The young spider’s broken body was still writhing on the ground in pain.
However, the red sickle spider did not care about this. It opened its mouth towards the young spider’s head.
Ka-cha! Ka-cha! Ka-cha!
The juvenile red sickle spider nibbled on the young spider’s body.
It looked around as if it was a hyena searching for its next prey.
This action made it look directly at Hopper, who was nibbling on the juvenile blue spider.
Hopper could feel a strong fighting spirit in its eyes!
However, the next second after it made eye contact with Hopper…
The juvenile red sickle spider’s attention was placed towards Hopper.
“Are you interested in the corpse of the juvenile blue spider?”
Hopper saw the juvenile red sickle spider staring at the juvenile blue spider in front of him.
He began to guess the other party’s next move.
The juvenile red sickle spider’s eyes quickly returned to Hopper.
However, this time, what Hopper felt from its eyes was killing intent!
“It seems that you intend to eat me first…”
“Then I’d like to see if you have such a big appetite!”
