Chapter 32 Iron Armor
At this moment,
Horn, who had changed into the [Steel Armor], was moving. He raised his left forelimb, then slowly lowered it, then raised his right forelimb, then slowly lowered it, alternating between the left and right limbs, and took the first step.
The whole process lasted for ten seconds, like a slow-motion replay, and only then did he complete the first step.
"Oops, the shell is too heavy."
The [Keratinized Armor] was upgraded to the [Steel Armor]. The shell changed too much all of a sudden, and the body could not adapt in a short time, resulting in a slower movement speed.
In the past, the [Keratinized Armor] was upgraded one level at a time. After shedding the shell, the body could slowly adapt. Now, after the upgrade, the improvement is huge, resulting in the inability to keep up with the strength.
This is very embarrassing.
Although the body can slowly adapt to the new armor after training, the speed becomes like a turtle, which is dangerous in the underground maze.
Horn had a headache.
He had no choice but to continue eating mushrooms, and then exercise his limbs in his spare time to improve his strength. This situation lasted for more than ten days. During this period, Horn only dared to stay near the mushroom colony and did not dare to go out and wander around.
The speed gradually increased,
but it was still very slow compared to the peak.
Until this day,
Horn stared at a small gray mushroom, and shouted at the mushroom. The mushroom's stem actually grew two legs directly, uprooted itself, and then ran away.
The speed was amazing.
Horn, who had psychic power, could only see a black line shuttling among the mushrooms.
The gray mushroom took root and grew again when it ran to a new place.
"It's interesting."
"It's a mushroom with speed blessing attributes. What a coincidence. I'm now a turtle speed, and I just need to improve the speed attribute. Little mushroom, don't run away."
Catch up,
As long as you don't scare these gray mushrooms, they won't run away.
Take advantage of the mushrooms not paying attention and bite them.

Horn found more small gray mushrooms nearby. They like to grow near piles of bones. If frightened, they will run to the vicinity of green mushrooms, and will quietly return to the original place after a few days.
The traces are easier to figure out.
Eat a lot of gray mushrooms, and the related attributes are transformed into the corresponding new ability [Swiftness].
[Swiftness]: Increase movement speed.
The swiftness improvement effect of lv1 is limited. As the level increases, the movement speed improvement effect brought by [Swiftness] gradually appears. When the level reaches more than 20 levels, the speed loss caused by [Steel Armor] has been offset.
The number of gray mushrooms is relatively rare.
Horn searched all the nearby colonies and only raised the [Swiftness] ability level to more than 50.
He originally wanted to upgrade to the advanced level in one go,
but it seems that he thought too well.
With the increase in level, the attribute improvement effect brought by mushrooms has been weakened a lot.
The level of many abilities almost stagnates after completing the advanced level.
Horn ate mushrooms and wanted to vomit.
There are many giant mushrooms nearby, but some giant mushrooms are inhabited by [Lost] monsters. Horn didn't want to cause trouble, so he didn't provoke those guys. "It's time to leave. There are still many super giant mushrooms. I will come back to eat them when I become stronger in the future."
Remember this place full of mushrooms.
I will definitely come back to eat a few meals when I become stronger in the future.
Click on the strength panel.
[Host]: Horn
[Strength]: Lost lv65
[Race]: Puppet Master Spider
[Talent]: Attribute Devouring
[Abilities]: [Green Manipulator Silk lv52] [Green Strong Acid Mucus lv90] [Green Steel Armor lv55] [Green Violent Poison lv42] [Psychic lv52] [Black Light lv61] [Green Psychedelic Hermit lv30] [Green Scream lv36] [Dream Brand lv10] [Green Blade Dancer lv39] [Sickle lv12] [High Jump lv64] [Swiftness lv52] [Dust lv52]
The harvest in the mushroom garden was quite fruitful. Although the strength improvement was not great, the main thing was that all abilities were advanced. Looking at the full green, Horn was very satisfied. He also got several new abilities, among which [High Jump] was obtained by swallowing a kind of bouncing mushroom.
The jumping mushroom is huge, with the smallest diameter of 20 to 30 meters. It is a very conspicuous mushroom in the colony. It can absorb a property called [Jumping], which can improve its own jumping ability.
"It's time to return to the ground."
Horn remembered the location of the colony. At this time, he suddenly found that there were small mushrooms growing on his back in the reflection of the wall.
After staying in the colony for a long time,
the spores were contaminated on the steel armor, but he didn't notice it until the spores turned into mushrooms and popped up. Only then did Horn see it, "Mushrooms grow? Well, it doesn't matter if you ignore it. Anyway, it will be rubbed off after a while after the shell is shed."
As a spider, especially a huge puppeteer spider,
Horn also has troubles,
For example, when it is itchy,
some places on the back cannot be touched by the limbs. In the process of fighting with monsters, it is inevitable to get blood. Over time, the surface of the shell will attract all kinds of annoying insects. Sometimes it doesn't shed for a long time and even grows grass.
This has long become a part of the spider's life,
Horn took it for granted and ignored the small mushrooms on his back. Before leaving, he specially selected a bunch of mushrooms that he thought tasted good and had a final meal.
Return the same way,
After leaving the colony, according to the route in his memory, he needed to walk back along the Dead River. Horn had a psychological shadow on the Dead River, fearing that a bunch of strange hands would appear on the edge of the river bank and grab him back.
So Horn chose a different way to get home, selected a rough location, used strong acidic mucus to dissolve the rock wall, and dug a passage directly back bit by bit.
"The line segment between two points is the shortest."
"It doesn't matter. Safety is the most important thing. It's better than being dragged back into the dead river again."
Horn thought so,
Then he started his own excavation project,
anchor position,
Spit out a mouthful of strong acidic mucus at the rock wall. The corrosiveness of the acidic mucus becomes much stronger after advancing. It is convenient when digging tunnels and saves a lot of time. Moreover, various tunnels in the maze are crisscrossed, and sometimes a wall is opened. There is a direct passage ahead and you can go straight forward. After a few days of hard work, the project of digging the passage home is much easier than imagined.
But there are still some troubles occasionally.
For example, at this moment,
Just after hitting a rock wall, a dark passage appeared in front of him. Horn walked along the passage. When he reached the end, he found that there was a nest of gophers at the end.
There is no hair on the whole body, there are circles of wrinkles on the skin, the eyes have long since degenerated, the beard is very long, and the body is huge.
There are at least several hundred in a litter.
When the spider demon Horn accidentally broke into the opponent's lair, the group of eyeless moles immediately reacted, and hundreds of moles' heads turned around at once.
"Forehead"
"I'm sorry, fellow gophers, for disturbing me."
"I was just passing by a pipe repairer. I didn't know this was your home."
"I'm really sorry for letting you see strangers. I will leave immediately."
Horn turned and ran,
The gophers were not so easy to talk to, and a swarm of swarming bees came to chase and bite them.
