Chapter 2174 Crab Claw Hair Spider

"If Bayerhof didn't brag, the crab claw spider is really not an ordinary danger. Its combat power is not much inferior to that of the Talamon, and this monster is different from the big horn that can make do with everything. It is a pure carnivore. Wild animals and even human beings, if they encounter crab claw spiders in the wild, they will probably die!"

"The Arctic Circle is sparsely populated, especially during the polar night season, when the climate is extremely cold, few people are active outdoors, and even wild birds and beasts have become rare. It is difficult for crab claw spiders to obtain enough food. This kind of There are usually two options in a situation."

Joan listened attentively to Clark's narration while swiping a pen to record.

These personal experiences are the first-hand information he reserves for future papers on polar ecology.

"The crab claw spider, which has nowhere to look for food in the wild, is driven by hunger, and occasionally attacks human settlements on its own initiative, creating a bloody massacre and then eating away, leaving only an empty deserted village."

"If there is no village nearby, the crab claw spider will take the next best thing, weave a cocoon on the spot, wrap itself up, and enter a long hibernation."

"During hibernation, the crab claw spider can minimize energy consumption and does not need to eat. It is not until the end of the polar night season, when the weather gets warmer and the prey in the wild increases, that they end hibernation and break out of their cocoons."

Clark hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Bayerhoff also mentioned a rumor, but I'm not sure if it's true."

"What rumor?" Joan asked curiously.

"Most of the time, crab claw spiders are solitary, but when they decide to hibernate, they tend to return to the area where they were born, and go dormant in groups."

"Bayerhof said that the crab claw spider may have two purposes for doing this. One is that when the weather turns warm, the crab claw spider that wakes up first can wake up other similar spiders in time."

"More importantly, if a crab claw spider is attacked during hibernation, it will send out an alarm in time to wake up the same kind of hibernation nearby, lest they also be attacked without knowing it and end up with a genocide , from this perspective, crab claw spiders also have the characteristics of social animals."

Joan's hand holding the pen froze.

Hibernation... gregarious?

The details Clark told gave him a bad premonition.

At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound in the opposite cocoon.

Joan turned his head and looked over, and found that the crab claw spider twisted its body, as if it was waking up from sleep.

In an instant, the huge monster suddenly opened its eyes, revealing a pair of huge compound eyes that shone with magnificent rainbow light, and stared viciously at the people in front of it.

Dajiao sensed the malice of the crab claw spider, and launched an attack first based on the instinct of a beast. He sent out a "shocking roar" at the giant insect, making it immobile for a while, and then rushed up, flipping it head-on, belly up, Lying on his back on the snow field, his octopus moved wildly.

Clark didn't hesitate, and rushed forward with a stride, stretched out his right hand, his five fingers were like hooks, and grabbed the slender neck of the crab claw spider. Countless silver snake-like electric arcs burst out from the fingertips.

Electric energy instantly flowed all over the crab claw spider's body, crackling, its hair stood on end, and its octopus twitched violently.

With one arm, the frost giant lifted up the huge monster, and then "falled over his shoulder", hitting the ground hard, the hard exoskeleton and the ice beneath him shattered simultaneously, and the light blue Bodily fluid gushes out along the crack.

The crab claw spider was beaten repeatedly just after waking up, and its weak and dull body was unable to fight back.

However, after being repeatedly beaten by Dajiao and Clark, he still didn't die. In the end, it was Joan who added a "dissociation technique" to disintegrate his head into dust, so that this strangely powerful monster stopped struggling completely.

Surrounded by the dead body of the crab claw spider, Joan and Clark looked at each other with heavy hearts.

The heartless Dajiao didn't notice the oppressive atmosphere around him, so he went to bite the carcass of the crab claw spider, wanting to try this kind of prey he had never seen before, whether the meat was good or not.

However, before he had time to taste it, Dajiao was forced to retreat.

The blood of the dead Crab Claw Spider quickly undergoes a mysterious alchemical reaction, exuding an extremely pungent sour smell, which makes Dajiao even sneeze, with disgust on his face.

Joan also smelled the pungent smell from the corpse. Based on his years of experience in studying supernatural insect-shaped creatures, he suspected that the strange smell released by the crab claw spider after death might contain some kind of pheromone.

This is not a good sign!

His concerns were quickly confirmed.

The strange smell emanating from the corpse of the crab claw spider spread with the wind.

On the originally calm snow field, there was a dull and dense popping sound.

There were many bulges on the flat snow, and under the watchful eyes of Joan, Clark, and Dajiao, the snowdrift suddenly burst open, revealing the cracked cocoons, and the hibernating crab claw spiders came out one by one.

Within a few miles around, many crab claw spiders were awakened by the pheromones released by the same kind when they were about to die, and they drilled out from the depths of the snow and gathered towards Joan and the others—making it clear that they wanted to save their dead companions. revenge.

In just a few short minutes, no less than ten crab claw spiders have appeared in the field of vision, and it is not known how many will follow up.

"Nuhta!"

Joan raced against time to chant the spellcasting spell, opened the "anti-living animal shield", and enveloped Clark and Big Horn to avoid being besieged by a large group of crab claw spiders.

The radiation radius of the "anti-living animal shield" is 10 feet. The crab claw spiders cannot break through the transparent shield formed by magic, but this does not prevent them from trying their best to stick out the "capturing pincers" and reach into the shield, trying to pinch their prey. Forcibly dragged out.

The big horn blocked Joan behind him, and uttered a "shocking roar" at the strange insects gathered on the opposite side of the shield. The sharp sound waves spread, and the three crab claw spiders directly opposite were all deafened and dull.

Clark took the opportunity to rush out and activated "Frost Fury". His fists wearing dragon leather gloves blasted out flames and cold currents at the same time. The violent combination of punches was like a series of heavy shells pouring on the crab claw spider.

When the three giant worms got rid of the shock and woke up, they had been beaten to pieces and couldn't get up.

Qiao An moved his feet, chose a suitable angle, raised the "weather staff" and blasted a "chain lightning", killing all three seriously injured crab claw spiders.

At this time, another six crab claw spiders came after them, and Joan quickly reminded Clark to retreat the "anti-living animal shield".

As soon as the frost giant took a step into the shield, there was a whistling sound of breaking wind behind him.

Turning around in a hurry, I saw a crab claw spider with three jaws open, spraying a cloud of bright objects towards itself from 20 feet away!
