Survival: The Evolution of an Evil God Starting from a Spider

Page 258

Things have already developed to this point, and Liu Ziming is still speaking up for that crazy woman Yuebai. At least Cat Angel and Seven-Colored Deer are not very happy about this.

At this moment, the Slime Mirror was furious. He didn't even want to say a word to Liu Ziming anymore. He felt that talking to her was like playing music to a spider, completely useless.

"Boss Spider, since you have a map of the Monster Forest, I trust you. But this might be a higher-level monster. How should we deal with it? And it's a poisonous scorpion, so please don't let your guard down!" Everyone was very familiar with scorpions, but they had never seen a scorpion that was tens of meters long, so the senior reminded them with some concern.

"Hehe, Senior Giant Ape, if my guess is correct, everyone's strength may not have been suppressed too much. Dealing with this level 7 or higher magical beast in front of us should not be too much of a problem?"

The giant ape elder saw the cunning look in Liu Ziming's eyes. He knew that this guy definitely knew something, and he also felt from his own experience that his strength was not suppressed too much, so he didn't say anything more.

"Everyone be careful. I think that guy might be heading back to this cave now. This guy is really a huge scorpion, at least level 8?"

Although everyone's ability to sense danger had improved, it was still no match for Liu Ziming's sensitivity. He quickly realized that it was a huge scorpion slowly crawling back into the cave, so he was the first to give everyone a warning.

"My goodness, a giant scorpion tens of meters long! I've never seen anything like it before. If I can kill this guy, my strength might increase a bit more!"

Seeing the confident expression on Slime Jing's face, Liu Ziming didn't say anything. He believed that as long as everyone worked together, dealing with a giant scorpion, a magical beast of about level 8, shouldn't be too difficult. They could even obtain its demon core to improve everyone's strength, which would be even better.

"Hehe, I forgot to remind everyone, although this magical beast is of a very high level, it is definitely a treasure."

Chapter 351 Slaying a Demonic Beast and Obtaining a Demon Core

No one expected Liu Ziming to remain so calm, even smiling as he reminded everyone that a magical beast of rank eight or higher was definitely a treasure. Was he out of his mind? Or had he been kicked by a donkey? "You stinky spider, are you out of your mind? That's a magical beast of rank eight or higher, and it's several tens of meters in size and speed. You call it a treasure? Are you crazy?"

Although Slime Jing wanted to banter with Liu Ziming, he noticed that the enormous scorpion was slowly approaching the cave. He could only mutter under his breath to avoid alerting the giant eighth-tier magical beast.

"Everyone should find a place to hide now, but I'm warning you beforehand, don't go near that place with the black, sticky stuff, it smells awful, that's probably where that guy is resting?" Hearing Liu Ziming say this, everyone rolled their eyes at him, realizing that this guy must be out of his mind. How could a scorpion live in its own place of excrement? It's a joke.

Although everyone found Liu Ziming somewhat ridiculous, they still found a place to hide. They didn't want to be the first to be discovered by that huge scorpion, which was no joke and was a magical beast of at least level 8.

"These guys are really ridiculous. They don't believe me when I say there's no way. Looks like you can only rely on your luck now. If it really doesn't work, it's not a big deal for me to step in," Liu Ziming thought ruthlessly, but he would never say it aloud. If he did, he really didn't know what the consequences would be. At the very least, the Slime Mirror's fiery temper wouldn't let him off the hook. "Huff, huff, huff!"

As the enormous scorpion, several tens of meters long, slowly approached the cave, everyone could clearly hear its breathing, which carried a foul, fishy odor that was particularly unpleasant. "This guy must have just gone out to hunt for food; otherwise, why would it smell so fishy?"

The cat angels and the other girls were quite clean, and they couldn't stand the fishy smell. They even felt nauseous, but they forced themselves to endure it. They didn't want to be discovered by that eighth-level or higher magical beast scorpion.

Liu Ziming was actually gesturing incessantly, signaling everyone not to act rashly and to wait until the scorpion returned to its resting place before figuring out what to do, to avoid alerting it. "That stinky spider is so annoying, gesturing like that! Is he laughing at us?"

Liu Ziming never dreamed that Slime Shizuka's thoughts at this moment would be so unfathomable. She mistakenly thought that Liu Ziming was mocking her, so she stared with her big eyes and kept opening her mouth as if she was saying something.

"Awoooooo!"

Just when everyone was on tenterhooks, the huge scorpion finally crawled back to its burrow, letting out a loud howl, looking quite satisfied, as if it had just gone out to hunt for food, and then lay down with a thud.

"Holy crap, this guy's sleeping posture actually caused the earth to shake violently, that's terrifying!"

"My goodness, this guy can actually make such a commotion. Looks like I'll have to be careful."

"My goodness! This thing is dozens of meters long! We mustn't let it find us! I've never seen such a huge monster before, it's terrifying!"

Even the giant ape elder's heart was pounding, and he looked very scared. This eighth-tier magical beast scorpion was simply too big, exceeding their understanding of magical beasts. They had never felt this way when they killed thousands of seventh-tier magical beasts, the Azure Wolves. It was truly terrifying.

"Hehe, it seems this guy is really a treasure. He's actually at the peak of an 8th-tier magical beast. If you had prepared in advance, those guys from the Slime Mirror wouldn't have been so easy to deal with."

Liu Ziming could clearly sense that the enormous eighth-tier magical beast scorpion was indeed a force to be reckoned with, but if these people ganged up on it, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, so he seemed quite at ease.

About ten minutes later, the level 8 magical beast scorpion fell into a deep sleep, its breathing so heavy it sounded like thunder and was quite terrifying.

"...What are you all waiting for? Are you waiting for this guy to wake up and be fully rested before dealing with him? Now should be the best time, but it's best not to make too much noise. If this guy gets alerted, you'll be in trouble."

To everyone's surprise, Liu Ziming had transformed into a small spider, clinging to the wall in a particularly lewd manner, constantly urging everyone to act immediately. "Don't worry about Boss Spider. Since he's telling us to deal with this guy now, he must be absolutely certain of success, otherwise he wouldn't have done this," Liu Ziming said.

Everyone looked strange upon hearing the giant ape elder's words, but without hesitation, they all stealthily crept towards the eighth-tier magical beast scorpion. "Everyone, don't hold back! You must unleash your full power! If we miss our first attack, this guy will definitely counterattack, and that will be troublesome!"

The giant ape elder repeatedly reminded everyone with his movements to prepare for a simultaneous attack. He stressed that they had to hit the target with a single blow, otherwise, once this guy became alert, his size would be several tens of meters, and they would be really difficult to deal with.

Everyone nodded in unison, their eyes filled with unwavering determination. Although Liu Ziming couldn't remain idle, they had given up on him. "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Several people worked together, unleashing all their inner strength, which struck the 8th-tier magical beast scorpion like a storm. The attack had a tremendous effect; the creature, still asleep, never imagined it would be attacked and died before it could even react.

Chapter 352 Found a Huge Bargain

When everyone worked together to kill the eighth-tier magical beast scorpion, they never dreamed it would be so easy. Their expressions were strange, as they couldn't believe that an eighth-tier magical beast was so weak, not even as strong as a seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf. It was really odd.

"Is this old giant ape really Pigsy's magical beast? Why is it so weak? Something seems off."

"Exactly, Old Monkey, tell me quickly. I also have a feeling that something is not right. If this guy is an 8th-tier magical beast, how come he is so weak? Even though we all attacked him together, he didn't have a chance to fight back at all. This seems a bit abnormal?"

The cat angel and the fire dragon looked extremely anxious, trying to get the answer they wanted from the giant ape elder's eyes or words. However, the giant ape elder also seemed particularly helpless, wondering what had caused this outcome.

So you're just going to believe what I'm saying is true?

Just as everyone wore expressions of confusion, Liu Ziming climbed down from the wall, grinning and speaking with an air of confidence, as if everything was under his control. "You stinky spider, are you telling the truth, or do you know what happened to this Rank 8 magical beast scorpion that made us join forces to attack it?"

The slime was brandishing its iron fist, waving it in front of Liu Ziming, looking extremely arrogant. If this guy didn't say anything, he might really go berserk.

The reason Liu Ziming said that was because he discovered that when this 8th-tier magical beast scorpion came in, it wasn't to hunt for food, but rather it had been injured by other magical beasts. Otherwise, these guys would never have succeeded so easily. It could be said that they got a huge bargain.

"Hehe, actually, this 8th-tier magical beast scorpion was attacked by other magical beasts when it went out. Didn't you see the marks all over its claws? It wasn't caused by your attack."

Everyone looked at the eighth-tier magical beast scorpion's body and claws with some uncertainty after hearing Liu Ziming's words. Sure enough, it looked exactly as Liu Ziming had predicted. "My goodness, you're amazing! You guessed it all along, or did you have a premonition? Can you tell us what happened?"

At this moment, the Seven-Colored Deer was shaking Liu Ziming like a little fangirl, but he seemed to have overlooked the fact that Liu Ziming was currently in the form of a spider. How could she withstand such vigorous shaking? "Ouch, you broke my arm! You'd better let go of me! If you let go, I'll tell you right away!"

Hearing Liu Ziming making "ouch" sounds, the Seven-Colored Deer looked frightened and quickly let go of his hands. Only then did he realize that Liu Ziming was actually a small spider. How could it withstand such a vigorous shaking? He looked somewhat embarrassed.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry, I got a little too excited just now. It's really like what you said, this huge eighth-order magical beast scorpion was indeed accidentally injured, otherwise we would never have succeeded so easily?" The Seven-Colored Deer's face was flushed, and she felt a little embarrassed as she looked at Liu Ziming and said shyly.

"Boss Spider, are you telling the truth? Then why didn't you have us cut open its belly when we killed the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf? What was the reason for that?"

The giant ape elder seemed very puzzled. Why did Liu Zimo have everyone cut open his belly after killing the eighth-tier magical beast scorpion? Could there really be treasure inside this guy's stomach? He looked at Liu Zimo with a very doubtful expression and said.

"Ahem, I forgot to explain to everyone, in the Monster Forest, only monsters of level 8 or above can form a demon core the size of an egg yolk inside their bodies. If you guys are lucky, you might be able to get one?" Hearing Liu Ziming say this so casually, everyone's hearts were a little unsettled. They had learned before that if they could obtain a monster demon core, it would be an immense blessing and help for improving their abilities and completely transforming them into human form. Who wouldn't be excited?

"Don't just stand there, everyone! Let's get moving! This guy is absolutely enormous, dozens of meters long. Maybe we'll actually get lucky and find his demon core, which could boost our strength!" Although the Flame Dragon Elder was a member of the dragon race, he was still incredibly curious about demon cores from magical beasts. Knowing that this guy could definitely improve their strength, he immediately suggested to the group. "Don't just stand there like idiots, let's get moving! If this guy dies for more than a quarter of an hour, the demon core formed inside him will slowly dissolve, and you won't even get a fart!"

Upon hearing Liu Ziming's words, everyone was speechless. They took out their daggers and demon swords and slashed open the belly of the enormous eighth-tier magical beast scorpion, frantically searching for the so-called demon core that Liu Ziming had mentioned.

"Look at this thing! It's only about the size of an egg yolk, and it's dark in color and gives off a strange aura."

It has to be said that Cat Angel was quite lucky. Although these people searched frantically for more than ten minutes, and their foreheads were covered in sweat, Cat Angel still found it. He took it out and asked everyone if it was the so-called demon core that Liu Ziming had mentioned.

"Holy crap! It seems this guy really does have a demon core inside him. Liu Ziming really wasn't lying to everyone?" Everyone stared eagerly at the eighth-tier magical beast's demon core in the cat angel's hand, looking incredibly greedy.

Chapter 353 There are plenty of opportunities

"Don't you dare try to get your hands on this coupon. I spent ages finding it inside this guy's belly. If you want to find it, go find it yourselves. Don't even think about taking mine!" The cat angel quickly hid the demon core in her pocket, covering it tightly with both hands as if afraid someone would snatch it. Her expression was particularly bizarre, making people a little headache.

Looking at the cat angel's cautious manner, Liu Ziming was speechless. What was an 8th-tier magical beast? Obtaining its demon core was an easy and pleasant thing. There were plenty of them in this magical beast world, and the opportunities were plentiful.

"Hehe, everyone, stop thinking about it. A magical beast of level 8 or above only has one demon core, there will definitely not be a second one. Moreover, there are plenty of magical beasts of level 8 or above in the Magical Beast Forest, you will definitely have more opportunities to obtain demon cores." Because Liu Ziming also noticed that everyone's eyes were looking at the cat angel a little differently, he did not want these people to become so greedy, so he quickly spoke up.

These guys are now completely convinced by Liu Ziming's words, because if it weren't for his reminder, they would never have dreamed that an 8th-tier magical beast would have a demon core inside its body.

"Hehe, that's right, why are you so scared, little kitten? We're just curious about it. Can we borrow it to take a look? We definitely won't steal anything from you!"

Hearing Liu Ziming's words, the Flame Dragon Elder looked slightly embarrassed, then smiled at the Cat Angel, essentially offering everyone a way out. "Since that's the case, I'll keep it in my hand. You can look at it freely, but please don't have any other thoughts. That would be too boring." It's understandable that the Cat Angel thought this way; after all, this was the first Rank 8 magical beast core they had obtained in the Magical Beast Forest. Who wouldn't be tempted? Everyone would think that way.

"Hehe, little kitty, don't worry. I guarantee with my integrity that if these guys have any wicked thoughts, I'll be the first to take action and smash them into mincemeat!" Actually, the Slime Mirror was also very interested in the demon core in the cat angel's hand, otherwise he would never have said that.

Cat Tian glanced at Liu Ziming, who was nodding repeatedly, and reluctantly took out the eighth-tier magical beast's demon core from his pocket to show everyone. "My goodness, this is the demon core from an eighth-tier magical beast! It actually emits an evil aura, and the energy is incredibly abundant, it feels terrifying!" "Wow, this demon core has so much energy! It makes me want to buy it, but don't worry, I definitely won't snatch it. I'm just looking at it."

"My God, this demon core of an eighth-tier magical beast, which is only the size of an egg yolk, actually has such abundant energy and emits a heart-palpitating feeling. It's really incomprehensible."

When the cat angel took out the 8th-tier magical beast core and showed it to everyone, their eyes seemed to be glued to it, unwilling to look away, watching intently, wondering when they would be able to truly possess one, filled with immense anticipation.

"Alright, you've all seen it and smelled it. This demon core is mine, so I'm going to put it away."

Cat Angel didn't hesitate at all, because if these guys tried anything funny, he wouldn't have a chance to fight back. So he carefully put the demon core into his pocket.

"Hehe, right, I forgot to remind everyone, when we killed the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf, we devoured a lot of its flesh, so we had plenty of energy, didn't we? Would you like to try what the flesh of an eighth-tier magical beast, the Scorpion, tastes like? Is it more flavorful than that of the seventh-tier magical beast, the Azure Wolf?"

Just now, everyone was only focused on the demon core of the eighth-tier magical beast in the cat angel's pocket, completely ignoring the meat of the eighth-tier magical beast scorpion. After Liu Ziming reminded them, everyone's eyes lit up with a different light. They felt that what this guy said made a lot of sense.

"Hehe, Spider Master, I have a question. Isn't the flesh inside a scorpion poisonous? Do we humans have an innate ability to avoid poison?"

…ask for flowers.

The seven-colored deer looked very sincere, tilting its head to look at Liu Ziming, and said in a somewhat mischievous way.

However, Liu Ziming completely ignored the idiotic question posed by the Seven-Colored Deer. He felt that the question did not need his answer at all, and only an idiot would ask such a question.

"The question you're asking is really brainless, little guy. The flesh inside a scorpion isn't poisonous at all. Its venom is completely hidden in its internal organs. As long as we don't touch its internal organs, there will be absolutely no danger. In fact, its meat will definitely be even more delicious. Stop talking and get started!"

No one expected that the giant ape elder would appear so anxious, quickly peeling off the scorpion's outer skin with his dagger and taking out large chunks of meat from its body.

"Flame Dragon, you old codger, there are no other tree branches this time. I think you'll have a way?"

The others followed the example of the giant ape elder, taking large chunks of meat from the bodies of the eighth-tier magical beast scorpion and placing them directly on the stone slab. They eagerly watched the fire dragon elder, waiting for his flames to thoroughly cook the meat.

"Heh, what's there to be stingy about? It's just fire, right? I have plenty more than that."

No one expected that since entering the Monster Forest, the Flame Dragon Elder had become so generous with his flames, showing no signs of being stingy. "Hehe, Flame Dragon Elder, aren't your flames dwindling? Don't you feel a pang of heartache doing this?" To everyone's surprise, the Seven-Colored Deer acted quite mischievously, approaching the Flame Dragon Elder with a grin.

"When have you ever seen me so stingy, little guy? When these level 8 magical beast scorpion meats are roasted later, you absolutely mustn't taste them. Be careful, they might be poisonous and kill you!" Everyone laughed at the way the old man and the young man were teasing each other, and the atmosphere became particularly harmonious.

"Hehe, Senior Flame Dragon, I really didn't mean that. You should hurry up and do it. I'm getting impatient now."

Chapter 354 Energy-Rich Monster Meat

Actually, it wasn't just the Seven-Colored Deer who thought this way; the others also seemed quite anxious. After all, only the Flame Dragon Elder could create fire, and they were all eagerly watching. "Hehe, old man, don't bother arguing with children. Hurry up and unleash your Samadhi True Fire to roast the meat of these magical scorpion beasts and share it with everyone," the Giant Ape Elder said directly when he saw the Flame Dragon, who was surprisingly arrogant and hadn't even unleashed his own flames.

He actually knew that the Flame Dragon was just teasing the little guys and didn't really intend to stop using its flames.

"Don't worry, these eighth-tier magical beast meats, it won't take me more than a few minutes to roast them until they're crispy on the inside and tender on the outside, emitting a wonderful aroma. I guarantee you'll have a great appetite and eat your fill!" After saying this, the Flame Dragon Elder didn't hesitate at all, and directly pushed the flames in his body towards the meat of those magical beast scorpions.

About ten minutes later, the meat of the eighth-tier magical beast scorpion emitted a fragrant aroma that made one's mouth water. "Holy crap, this smells amazing! It smells even better than the meat of the seventh-tier magical beast, the gray wolf!"

"Good heavens, good heavens! I've never tasted the meat of an eighth-tier magical beast in my entire life. This is finally my chance! I must eat as much as I can later!"

"Wow, the meat of an 8th-tier magical beast tastes amazing! When it's cooked, I have to let Senior Flame Dragon and Senior Giant Ape taste it first. If they have no problems, I'll have some more!" Everyone stared eagerly at the 8th-tier magical beast scorpion meat that Senior Flame Dragon was grilling, each with their own unique thoughts. These guys were all quite eccentric. "Heh, I didn't expect the meat of this 8th-tier magical beast scorpion to be so difficult to grill. It took so much of my fire, but the taste is still pretty good?"

After a few more minutes, the old Flame Dragon finally withdrew his flames, because he could clearly feel that the flesh of the eighth-tier magical beast scorpion had been thoroughly cooked by his flames, emitting a fragrant aroma that made one's mouth water.

"Hehe, Senior Flame Dragon, you went through so much trouble to bake this, you should try it first. How can we juniors eat it first?"

It has to be said that Cat Angel's heart has become so cunning after being tempered in the Monster Forest. He doesn't want to use himself as a test subject, since he's not sure whether the flesh of an eighth-tier monster scorpion is poisonous. So he wants to use the Flame Dragon as a test subject and then make his own decision.

Everyone understood what Cat Angel was up to, but no one spoke up. Only Liu Ziming watched Cat Angel's performance with a smile, wanting to see what kind of result this guy would get. "Haha, you little brat, do you think this old man is stupid? Aren't you just afraid that the meat of an eighth-tier magical beast scorpion is poisonous, so you want me to taste it first to see if I react before you eat it? You're really overestimating yourself with such a small trick in front of me."

Under normal circumstances, the Flame Dragon Elder might not have been so angry at the Cat Angel, but this was a matter of risking his life, so he didn't hold back at all and directly voiced his dissatisfaction. "Hehe, Flame Dragon Elder, how could I have thought that? I just felt that since you're an elder, you should be allowed to taste it first. I really didn't mean anything by it, please don't take it to heart?"

It has to be said that Cat Angel reacted quickly. Seeing the displeasure on the face of the Flame Dragon Elder, he quickly changed his demeanor and appeared very sincere. He held the meat of the 8th-tier magical beast scorpion in both hands and respectfully presented it to the Flame Dragon Elder.

"Old man, you're being shameless. If you don't eat, I can't wait any longer. Why are you making such a fuss? You're being so pretentious!"

The old giant ape stared at the meat of the 8th-tier magical beast scorpion in the cat angel's hand, and he really couldn't wait any longer. He found that the old guy, the Flame Dragon, was being so pretentious, and he really wanted to snatch the piece of roasted meat and stuff it into his mouth.

"Hehe, then you can try it first. I have no intention of competing with you. If you're not afraid of dying, you can have a taste first?"
