Chapter 53 The Egg Thief Luke

It is very interesting to observe the world in the form of a spider.

An ordinary sapling, in the eyes of Luke at this moment, has become much taller than a century-old towering tree;
And a hunter's wooden house, which was not unusual at first, turned into a tall mountain that soared into the sky;

Even the wooden steps that could have been climbed with one foot now took Luke a long time to climb.

A clod the size of a boulder, a leaf comparable to a ship, a puddle wider than a lake...

Such a variety of novel landscapes did not make Luke forget the hidden dangers.

He is very clear about his current identity, an ordinary human-faced spider larva, only the size of a grain of rice, and there are many dangers that can kill him.

Such as being hit by a leaf, such as being blown into a puddle by the wind, such as being discovered by those spirit beasts that come and go, etc.

Also, the Iron Wire Centipede, which is dozens of times bigger than him.

In fact, his real goal was not this big guy. After all, he had already observed this big guy from the pine tree in the distance.

Black head and bald back, a thin rust-red line running from head to tail on the dark brown abdomen, and nearly a hundred red-red joints that are much thicker than Luke's body, it looks very unfriendly.

With so many legs, stepping on him with any one would be a disaster.

The most important thing is that even if Luke was willing to spend more than one-third of the source force to manifest an elite sniper to kill it, he couldn't eat it.

Luke's real purpose was the egg mass held by the wire centipede, which was the egg laid by the centipede. Those beige translucent things were about the same size as his body, which was suitable for his current human-faced spider larvae form.

If he turns out to be an elite sniper, when a pea bullet goes down, the iron thread centipede will be killed, and the dozens of centipede eggs will also be finished. The gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, his goal today is to be a thief who steals eggs, not to fight tough battles with this wire centipede.

The wire centipede's nest is just below the wooden steps of the hunter's cabin. The terrain along the way is very complicated, not to mention potholes, and there are many broken branches and rotting leaves.

At this time, Luke was not quite used to his human-faced spider larva form. The 8 slender spider legs bumped up and down, and it took a long time to get from the pine tree to the wire centipede's nest.

It doesn't feel too much from a distance, but the closer you get, the more you can feel the horror of the wire centipede.

Luke's human-faced spider larva is about the size of a grain of rice. From his current angle, it is even more exaggerated than when he used the human form to see the truck-sized parasitic octopus queen. A train is entrenched in front of his eyes.

Two long tentacles waving in the air from time to time, divided into a huge torso with tens of sections, nearly a hundred jointed feet with thick tails and sharp ends, and dozens of centipede eggs that were bigger than Luke's body at this time Hugged tightly in the middle.

Luke was worried, such a big guy, how could he deal with it with his own strength without the help of those artifact cards and alien cards?

After hesitating for a long time, he tentatively approached the wire centipede, maintaining the highest level of vigilance, ready to run away at any time.

But it's strange. The Iron Centipede didn't know whether it was because it fell into a deep sleep and didn't notice him, or because he was too small to pose any threat to it. It ignored Luke's wishes and still stayed where he was. The ground was motionless.

Probably because he was ignored by the wire centipede, Luke felt embarrassed and then a little confused.

Do you want to take the risk of climbing up and steal a centipede egg quietly?

It's a tough choice.

If he went up, the iron wire centipede had so many legs, even if he just turned his body, it might make him fall into a place of eternal doom.

But if he doesn't go up, he won't be able to eat centipede eggs, so he won't be able to replenish his source power, and sooner or later he will be infected and killed by radiation due to exhaustion of source power.

No matter whether it is good or bad, a decision must be made immediately, and the stalemate cannot continue like this.

Luke decided to take a risk, but instead of climbing up directly from the body of the wire centipede, he first climbed up the nearby steps, and then slowly floated down, landing directly on the centipede eggs without touching the body of the wire centipede.

The plan is good, but there will always be various surprises in actual actions.

Just as Luke aimed at the beige centipede eggs and jumped down the wooden steps, a gust of wind came out of nowhere and gently blew Luke's spider body onto the wire centipede.

Before he was about to come into contact with the wire centipede, Luke was so nervous that his whole body trembled, and his heart almost jumped out.

Meow, where did the evil wind come from?It's almost killing me.

Sure enough, the wire centipede found Luke, a weak and bold food, but now it is in the incubation period and has no interest in any food.

Worried that Luke, the spider, would contaminate its offspring, it curled up and rolled back and forth in the nest, trying to throw Luke off.

Judging from Luke's original human form, the situation of a wire centipede about 30 centimeters long rolling back and forth is also quite terrifying. The rolled up dead branches and leaves are flying, making the entire nest seem to have experienced a small earthquake. .

Judging from his human-faced spider larva form at this time, the rolling posture of the iron-threaded centipede is more than a hundred times, a thousand times more terrifying.

Rumbling, creaking and other terrifying sounds, those dead branches and leaves that were many times larger than his body were flying randomly in the air like countless hills.

The entire Wire Centipede's lair was as terrifying as experiencing a terrible serial train rear-end accident.

How dare Luke be thrown, that would be a dead end.

He clasped the iron wire centipede's smooth back tightly with his spider legs with tiny bristles, and tried his best to barely maintain his balance without being thrown off.

After tossing for a while, probably thinking that the daring spider must have been thrown to death by it, the iron centipede curled up again and fell silent.

Luke waited for a long time, feeling that the wire centipede might have fallen into a deep sleep again, and he carefully crawled along the wire centipede's smooth carapace to the centipede eggs that had already emitted the smell of food.

In order not to disturb the iron wire centipede, Luke moved very slowly, and it took him a whole afternoon to cover just a few body distances.

It wasn't until nightfall that he slowly bypassed those sharp and terrifying legs and penetrated into the egg mass tightly surrounded by the wire centipede.

"I found an object that can be devoured - iron wire centipede eggs, whether to swallow it? Yes, no."

There is no need for [Swallowing Sky System] to prompt, the long-lost hunger has already driven Luke to start a crazy process of devouring one of the centipede eggs.

The shell of the centipede egg was very thin, and Luke easily pierced it with his spider legs, greedily sucking the spilled egg liquid.

"Host Luke (in the form of a human-faced spider larvae) devours the eggs of the iron thread centipede, gains 10 points of source power, acquires the skill [Energy Resistance: Poison], and acquires the skill [Tough Spider Silk]."
