I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 525: Insect Catcher Sean

Even in the developed large crack areas, workers need to take strict protective measures and have a tight security system to be able to come and go freely.

After two years of extraction and refining, the poisonous gas at the bottom has not shown any signs of decreasing. The good thing is that the specialty of Paradise City will not be out of supply. The bad thing is that after working in the big crack for a few months, you have to go back to the ground for a full-body check and detoxification.

This is the case in developed areas, so undeveloped areas are naturally countless times more dangerous.

For strong men like Sean and Luo Xi, the toxins no longer have any effect on them. The mutants that crawled out from the poison gas accumulation did not dare to look at them, so they had an easy journey.

However, a shocking scene occurred to both of them after they went deep into a poisonous gas accumulation area.

An extremely huge mutant spider was quietly lurking in the deepest part of the nest. The ground was covered with shells of its own kind, and the flesh and juice inside had long been sucked out.

Sean and Luo Xi exchanged glances in surprise, and they both realized at once that this thing... is advancing to the deep red level!

"The big beetle before was only at the peak of the king level, right?" Luo Xi said in disbelief.

There was a giant beetle in the past of the Great Rift, which was very sensitive to energy and was probably the nightmare of energy-deniers like Roche. Later, the beetle was led to the ground by Sean and completed the attack on the other three forces. In the end, its main body died under Roche's knife.

Sean's expression was a little serious. He nodded: "Yes, and that beetle should be considered the overlord of the underground."

"Overlord? That beetle can't beat the big spider in front of it..." Luo Xi's expression also became serious.

Sean thought of the mutant spider that Ran Xinzhu had mentioned to him. It was strong but small in size. Now it seemed that the mutant spider was forced to the ground by the spider king in front of it. If it stayed any longer, it would be eaten clean, not to mention being full.

As a common group in the Great Rift, the mutant spiders' evolution speed is a bit too terrifying.

Moreover, mutants are similar to Mad Beasts to some extent. Whether a thing can enter the Crimson depends mainly on the bloodline of the race. If it is born as a mixed hair, then it will most likely be a mixed hair in the future. And if you come out of the belly of a Crimson level, there is a high probability that you will also be a Crimson in the future.

Creatures like mutant spiders should not have the possibility of advancing to crimson.

"No, look at its mouthparts, the energy is wrong." Luo Xi reminded.

Sean squinted his eyes and looked over, but he couldn't see clearly, so he had no choice but to walk forward.

The mutant spider immersed in the crimson of promotion raised its huge head, and countless compound eyes blinked at the same time.

It had already noticed the presence of these two humans, but it couldn't see clearly their strength. In addition, since the two had no intention of approaching, the Spider King, who was passing through an important node, simply gave up the hunt.

I didn't expect that even though I let these two people go, they still dared to come closer.

The beast's ferocity suddenly erupted, its fat belly lifted up, and brightly colored spider silk sprayed straight towards the man in front of it.

Then, the spider silk, which had enough poison to melt a peak king-level monster and was tough enough to even bind a crimson-level monster, was caught by the man with one hand.

The mutant's biggest advantage over Madmon is that it has a smarter brain.

In an instant, the Spider King felt all the bristles on his body stand upside down, and a huge sense of crisis surged in his heart.

Not caring about its own advancement, it retreated straight away, about to leave the nest where it had stayed for a long time. Then, the man appeared from nowhere, holding the spider silk in one hand and gently pinching one of its claws with the other hand.

"This spider silk is a good thing. As long as we can accumulate enough and clean out the toxins, we can make it into very strong combat uniforms."

Sean's eyes lit up slightly, causing the Spider King to scream sharply.

However, its roar with the effect of a mental attack only made Sean dig his ears. Then, Sean grabbed the Spider King's mouth and looked into its countless compound eyes.

"Do you want me to open it for you, or do you want to open it yourself?"

The Spider King's eight sharp claws trembled, and after hesitating for a moment, he obediently opened his mouth.

Sean nodded with satisfaction: "This is the good thing about mutants. They are much smarter than Madmon."

He put his head straight in, not worrying at all that the other party might suddenly bite him off.

Luo Xi showed some curiosity. Anyway, the spider king's mouthparts were big enough. After thinking about it, she also put her head in.

The two heads moved around in the huge mouthparts, searching for what they wanted. The Spider King opened his terrifying big mouth, wanting to bite but dared not move at all, feeling that there was no hope for the rest of his spider life.

The two searched for a moment and then uttered a surprised voice: "That's it, we found it."

Exiting the head, Sean raised a paw.

The claw was about one or two meters long, and looked like the remains of a lion or tiger. Without the spider king's absorption, one could clearly feel that a large amount of energy was surging inside.

Luo Xi showed curiosity: "This should be the remains of a crazy beast, right?"

She twisted her head and looked around, but didn't find the rest of the scattered limbs.

Sean said thoughtfully, "The upper limit of the mutant spider is the peak of the king level. This mutant does not have the ability to enter the crimson level. This is a limitation of its bloodline. It should have discovered this, so it is using the remains of the crimson maniac beast to advance - tsk, it's the same as us humans using the blood of the crimson maniac beast to advance."

"But where did this thing come from?" Luo Xi frowned and asked curiously.

Sean shook his head. "I don't know. There shouldn't be any Crimson Mad Beasts inside the Great Rift. But it's okay. We have a guide."

The spider king's body shuddered, and he lay on the ground tremblingly. He didn't look like a scary mutant, but more like a puppy that had been raised for a long time.

Sean looked at it, then blinked: "Will it get smaller?"

Spider King: “?”

Sean smiled and a red mini scorpion crawled out from his shoulder.

"It's okay, it will teach you."

……

"I didn't notice it before, but now that I think about it, it seems that the mutants in places like the depths of the Great Rift and the outskirts of Paradise City are basically insects, right?"

A fluorescent ramp, Luo Xi asked curiously while speeding.

Sean also nodded: "Maybe the mutant species of insects can better adapt to this environment, and many insects practice cannibalism, so they are more likely to survive."

"But, in other words, there are mostly insects underground, and we are almost reaching the cavity layer, right?" Luo Xi said.

Sean observed the surroundings and said, "We are indeed approaching the cavity layer. The main thing is that these little guys are pointing here."

As he spoke, a bunch of things climbed out from his shoulders.

Scorpions, spiders, mosquitoes, blind beetles, mole crickets, millipedes...
