The sudden burst of air was like a bullet slicing through the sky.
Then,
"boom..."
With a loud bang, the entire tree shook.
At this moment, if one pays attention, one will surely notice that there is a spider web the size of a palm on the trunk of this large tree.
And this is Liu Ziming, now spinning silk.
With a gentle expulsion, it was like a bullet being fired, shaking even the large trees.
Compared to before, its power is incomparable.
Moreover, and more importantly, with a gentle tug on the spider silk, Liu Ziming felt a springiness...
Powerful and potent.
"Shh."
With a whooshing sound, Liu Ziming's body, propelled by the spider silk, flew towards a large tree not far away.
This is traction.
Using the spider silk's incredible stickiness, the spider silk was stuck to the tree, and then, relying on the silk's elasticity, Liu Ziming's body was pulled to make simple movements.
Of course, this is just wishful thinking.
The next moment, with a loud 'thud,' Liu Ziming's entire body slammed into the tree, and an unimaginable pain spread throughout his body.
If Liu Ziming were human, he would be like an octopus, sliding down the tree.
He was bruised and swollen, looking quite disheveled.
"Reality is crueler than imagined."
With a bitter laugh, Liu Ziming endured the excruciating pain and propped himself up.
It's not bad, though.
Indeed, in a sense, this is god-level spider silk.
Its adhesive strength is terrifying, even stronger than 520 glue in the human world.
Its incredible resilience makes spider silk very difficult to destroy.
And also... that sudden, explosive force.
It must have been this god-level ability that modified Liu Ziming's spider 'weaving machine,' making the spider silk it shot out have an impact force that was incomparable to the past.
Therefore, the moment it is expelled is like a bullet.
Sharp and terrifying.
If Liu Ziming wanted to, he could simply shoot out one spider silk thread after another, which would be like bullets, attacking others.
Of course, this is just one application of 'spitting silk'.
His ability, as the core ability of the spider, has an unimaginable value in terms of development.
Just like now, almost instinctively, Liu Ziming began weaving a spider web on the tree...
For a spider, what could be better than waiting patiently for its prey to come to it?
With a smile, Liu Ziming, like a diligent gardener, began to work hard in silence.
...
Time passed slowly, and before we knew it, it was midnight.
At this moment, if one were to look towards this canyon, one would surely see one after another enormous spider webs densely covering the corners of the canyon.
Liu Ziming was already exhausted and needed to rest.
Just then, a tremor startled Liu Ziming awake.
Looking towards the source of the vibration, he saw a praying mantis, no bigger than a palm, struggling desperately in the spider web he had spun.
Not just mantises,
There were also quite a few insects...
"Tsk, tsk."
Smacking his lips, Liu Ziming also felt extremely hungry.
As for disgusting things...
I'm sorry, but the moment he became a spider, those words had already left him.
His survival instincts made him not very resistant to these foods.
So... tiptoeing through the spider webs, Liu Ziming also headed towards his prey in the distance.
Shortly after, Liu Ziming opened his mouth and bit down on the immobilized mantis.
"Stab..."
With a crisp sound, Liu Ziming injected venom secreted from the venom glands in his chelicerae into the mantis's body.
These are instincts ingrained in the body and do not require deliberate learning.
"Ding, you have killed a level 2 mantis, evolution points +2..."
With a sudden notification, Liu Ziming also noticed that the mantis had already died.
"As long as you kill your prey, you can harvest evolution points..."
As he murmured softly, Liu Ziming didn't think much of it.
The more important thing now is to fill our stomachs.
"Click, click. -861064746..."
With one crisp sound after another, the mantis's head was removed, and most of its body entered Liu Ziming's stomach.
"Ding, you are currently eating a praying mantis, experience +2..."
"Ding, you are currently eating a praying mantis, experience +2..."
Amidst the continuous notifications, Liu Ziming also noticed that one of his attribute bars was steadily increasing.
Until, at a certain moment...
"Ding! Your experience points are full, you have leveled up..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Ziming felt a surge of heat coursing through his body.
"boom..."
With a terrifying roar, his entire body began to tremble.
As he continued to expand, his body grew larger.
Even more astonishingly, his eight black feet, which resembled sharp blades, became even sharper...
And that is evolution.
An evolution unique to the player.
However, this is also because Liu Ziming was born too weak.
This is why his first upgrade brought about such a significant change.
If it were another animal, such as a tiger or a lion, the outcome might not be so different.
Chapter 4 Advanced Choices (Seeking flowers and rewards)
And that is where the fairness of this game lies.
Animals and even plants that are inherently powerful face immense challenges in evolution, requiring exponentially more experience...
Animals and even plants that are inherently weaker undergo relatively simpler early evolutionary processes...
It only takes hunting one or two prey to complete the initial evolution.
However, this is evolution.
It's not an advanced level.
Evolution is simply a further enhancement of the species' own strength.
However, this species itself has its limits.
Just like a spider, no matter how powerful it is, it can never surpass a tiger.
Therefore, this is where the role of evolution points comes into play.
If given enough evolution points, it is entirely possible to break through the limits of this species and unlock new evolutionary possibilities.
For example, if he continues to use evolution points to strengthen his claws, he could very well become a new type of spider that relies on claw attacks and is skilled at cutting.
For example, if he continuously uses evolution points to strengthen his mental power, he may very well evolve into a spider that lives by charm.
These are all possibilities.
Everything was decided by him.
However, you must handle this kind of strengthening very carefully.
If the reinforcement is done in the wrong direction, then in the future, it will be all over.
Because in this world, there is no such thing as 're-strengthening'; every strengthening is extremely important to him.
But there's no rush now.
He hasn't evolved to the limit of a spider yet.
However, there's no need to choose a direction for strengthening too early.
Take some more time to adjust...
...
Time passed slowly, and several days had gone by in the blink of an eye.
During these past few days, Liu Ziming has been focused on hunting and eating.
