Chapter 178 A New Form for the Mouse? The Prototype of the Little Spider's Legendary Skill! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Waaah!"
Listening to its master's sighs, the little spider skillfully took out a thermos from the void treasure chest, poured out some hot tea, and handed it over.
A cup of tea afterwards, and I feel as happy as an immortal!
"Thanks!"
Lu Yu patted the little spider's head. It was getting more and more considerate. It handled everything in an orderly manner, showing the demeanor of a virtuous wife and loving mother!
I feel like if things continue like this, I'll soon become a useless person...
Watching Xiu Ren and Spider Sister coexist harmoniously, the mouse inexplicably felt somewhat superfluous. However, it lacked any storage skills, so even if there was something delicious... it would just eat it all itself!
Then his eyes lit up and he immediately came up with a solution!
Although there was nothing there, Sister Spider, unlike me, always praised and encouraged Brother Xiu!
So it floated over and said in a tea-scented voice:
"Xiu Ren, you're amazing! You easily outmaneuvered a monarch. I'm so happy to have a mouse as your pet!"
"..."
Lu Yu glanced at the hamster with a strange look in his eyes. This guy usually does nothing but eat and sleep, but suddenly he spoke in a soft voice, which made him feel like there was some kind of conspiracy.
Could it be that they want a raise?
That would be outrageous!
If you dare to ask for money today, you dare to bite me tomorrow!
If you dare to eat potato chips today, you'll dare to eat people tomorrow!
If they dare to ride roughshod over me today, they'll dare to do it tomorrow...
"Did I say something wrong? Why isn't Xiu Ren responding yet?"
As the mouse felt its scalp tingle under that strange gaze, and was about to speak, Lu Yu interrupted it, changing the subject:
"Thank goodness it was sleeping, otherwise we would have had to retreat!"
At this point, Lu Yu mentally reviewed the plan that ensured absolute safety...
Weaving lies!
By deceiving monarch-level monsters and the Void Fish Overlord, and by gaining their approval, the existence of this system can be forcibly established based on their powerful spirituality!
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to succeed, as the monarch creature would see through it at a glance.
However, facing a Hundred-Eyed Cicada that was in a deep sleep for a long time gave Lu Yu room to maneuver!
After all, the little spider is the offspring of a monarch from the dream world and the void!
But if you just start weaving dreams like that, it's like being blinded by misfortune and falling into a trap!
Because cicada-type pets have another characteristic!
The cicadas know the autumn winds before they even blow!
The reason why the Void Coral and the Void Fish Overlord did not wake it up is because they could not even break through its shell, so it was not a threat!
However, if one uses the Nightmare Sea to activate the [Nightmare Sea Stealth] ability and attacks the dream from within, the threat level will be greatly increased, directly waking up the opponent and putting them into a state of full alert!
Faced with absolute power, no amount of trickery will work!
Therefore, Lu Yu first put the little spider into the Spirit Erosion form. When he first used the Mirror of Concealment, he secretly had the rat hide with him and run away.
The little spider was left to continue weaving illusions, creating the impression that he had never left, and the roots of the Thousand-Faced Soul Tree, which the mouse had arranged in advance, turned into a loudspeaker to forcibly wake him up.
Many people have probably experienced being suddenly woken up from deep sleep, leaving them in a dazed state. At this time, they will subconsciously respond to and agree with whatever the other person says.
However, this process is very short, and you will soon regain consciousness!
However, he possessed the "misfortune and fortune are intertwined" buff, allowing him to directly exploit the rules, forcibly activate misfortune, and instantly convert it into an equal amount of good fortune, increasing the success rate of his subsequent plans!
This time, it's his turn!
So Lu Yu took the opportunity to use his ability to weave dreams to convey a lie!
The three creatures before it were already its prey; it could easily crush them and enjoy them at its leisure!
To ensure authenticity, Lu Yu also transmitted some of the abilities of the little spiders to the other party. With the help of the rat, the soul fluctuations of the Hundred-Eyed Cicada were simulated. Since it was not an attack, it did not provoke any resistance from the other party!
The moment you are awakened is the first time a lie is imprinted on your heart!
The Hundred-Eyed Cicada of the False Cry had just appeared when it was bound with the Spirit King's Curse Thread—this was the second time!
The moment when the Star Leaf is used to reverse time is the last and most crucial one!
By making three separate attempts, the lie was successfully etched into its memory, and the impression was deepened until it completely accepted it!
Therefore, the illusion [Dream Bubble] is activated, and the lie is established.
It created a truly realistic illusion!
Three people, including Lu Yu, and a gifted coral were born, replacing the illusion woven by the little spider without anyone noticing!
As for the little spider that was left behind, it used the power of the white fox as a cover while using the Star Leaf, so that the Void Cicada could not react in time, and then picked the Grace Coral and threw it into the Void Treasure Chest.
In order not to attract the attention of a space-type overlord creature, it did not use spatial jump, but was summoned back by Lu Yu, who had not gone far, through the Beast Taming Space!
Within a certain distance, beast tamers can directly recall their pet beasts through the beast taming space!
Next, Lu Yu boarded the Void Mother Nest and sped away on the spot!
Only the real phantom remains to confront it!
By the time the other party realizes it, it will be too late!
With the legendary skill [Destiny's Protection] to conceal his presence and all divination skills, the opponent couldn't find Lu Yu at all!
Play all your cards, and you're guaranteed a 100% win rate!
Let the Void Lord experience the despicable nature of outsiders!
Lu Yu turned around and could see that the countless floating void stones that had acted as roadblocks when they sailed over had now turned into dust.
Even though they were dozens of miles apart, they were still affected.
If it were face to face, there would be absolutely no trace of the body!
"The monsters these days are getting more and more violent!"
Lu Yu shook his head, quickly returned to the coordinates where he had entered the void, tore open a portal, and returned to the main world!
What comes into view is the bright and warm light, which contrasts sharply with the deathly silence of the void, giving people a sense of security!
"Time flies!"
He glanced at his phone and realized that a day and a half had passed, but in reality, he had spent most of that time traveling!
"Waaah!"
The first thing the little spider did when it got home was run to the kitchen. Although it had eaten some dry food on the way, it still felt hungry...
It's called Little Spider Thinks You're Hungry!
It manipulated the spider silk to start heating the pot and boiling water, preparing to make two bowls of hot, plain noodles.
As for Spider-Man himself... he was eating his favorite watermelon!
"Sister Spider, give me a couple more fried eggs, some sausage, and maybe some crispy pork belly if you have any. Love you!"
The mouse lay sprawled on the sofa, stretching out its little paws to make a heart shape, showing no intention of getting up.
After working so hard for so long, I can now justifiably slack off!
It was ready to watch the rest of the TV series. The elf princess had already met the prince of the Dark Beastman Kingdom, who was handsome, dashing, and polite.
He expressed his instant attraction to the Elf Princess, persuaded her to surrender, and proposed to make her his only concubine and future queen, thus forging a friendly alliance between the two nations, and then…
He was smashed into dust by the elf princess who had overcome all obstacles, obtained many secret treasures, and received guidance from her teacher.
A strong woman doesn't need love!
Moreover, they kidnapped her people and told her they liked her, which was simply picking a fight. So she cut down the stunned kingdom soldiers and marched all the way to the palace!
Although the plot was unexpected, this is the kind of female lead that the mouse likes.
Sweep everything aside, every punch lands squarely!
Thinking of this, the mouse secretly glanced at Xiu Ren and found that his attention was not on it, so it suddenly had a brilliant idea.
The power of a thousand faces flowed through its hamster body, silently transforming it into a long-eared, exquisitely beautiful elf girl. She wore a leaf dress, which, though not luxurious, possessed an elegant air. Her beauty was second only to Little Spider and the three Crimson Moon sisters, and she was on par with Yu Xiyan!
If Lu Yu were to look at it now, he would surely find that the mouse looks almost exactly like the fairy princess in the TV series!
The only difference is perhaps their temperament!
Although the fairy princess is dressed in a flamboyant manner, she has a firm gaze, acts with competence, and is quite charismatic due to her intelligence and wit.
The difference between the two is that the mouse is now lying on the sofa, casually propping its long, white legs up on the edge, with a lazy smile on its lips.
She looks like a lazy, stay-at-home girl!
"Hmph, this body is too frail and uncomfortable; it's nowhere near as cute as a real mouse!"
The mouse carefully compared the two forms, nodded in satisfaction, and then, before Xiu Ren noticed, it reverted to its original form, rolled around on the sofa twice, and stretched out a big yawn!
A round and chubby hamster is the best!
Soon, a little spider dressed as a cook brought out the prepared plain noodles. Lu Yu's portion had an extra egg, while Shu Shu's portion... was a super deluxe extra version—not authentic, but delicious.
In the end, he even drank the soup clean!
After Lu Yu finished eating, he felt warm all over and was amazed at how well Little Spider's cooking skills were improving.
However, instead of rushing into Nightmare Prison for training, he took out his phone and contacted the Dark Moon Merchant Guild.
According to the Eye of Truth, [Blessed Coral] has a powerful secret recipe that is far more potent than using it directly!
However, just as Lu Yu was about to send the message, he discovered a serious problem!
His bank card... is empty again!
In order to obtain the top-tier treasure, [Blessed Coral], all the Void Corals were used as nutrients, and there wasn't a single Voidfish to be found, let alone any Monarch creatures...
The only thing I got was the thirteen space fragments I obtained from opening the initial blind boxes.
But the little spider ate one piece to make new Blinking Spiders and to replenish the five that had died, and had already spent eleven pieces, leaving only two pieces!
It's perfect as a reserve food for the little spider, replenishing the space elements it needs for growth. Although it's priced at a million, its recycling price is likely only 900,000, which is simply not enough to buy this batch of supplementary materials.
Unfortunately, the rest of the miscellaneous items had already been packed up and sold off. What remained were all useful materials, and even the golden coffin had to be kept, as it might have a miraculous effect in the Cursed Realm in the future.
Indeed, the God of Poverty's love is never absent!
Sensing its owner's distress, the little spider asked with concern:
"Eek?"
If you have any problems, feel free to contact the Spider Hotline!
ヾ()~
The little spider's face fell; the side effects of the Spirit Erosion form were kicking in again!
"fine!"
Lu Yu shook his head, not telling it these things. He knew that if he did, the little spider would make him sell all three space fragments.
It's happy as long as its owner is happy!
But such a well-behaved and sensible animal shouldn't be wronged!
"Got it!"
Lu Yu quickly came up with a way to make money: selling some products from the Life Food Technique, not Life Honey, of course, as he himself didn't have enough.
Instead, it's something else entirely—[Rotten Blood Honey]!
Previously, Lu Yu had made ten bottles using some monster corpses and stored them away. Now that the Corruption Secret Realm has disappeared and the news has spread, both buying and hoarding will cause the price to rise significantly.
Although it works well against Blinking Spiders, he can remake it from rotten monster corpses.
Controlling the production line gives you real power!
After Lu Yu made his request, he was originally going to the Dark Moon Merchant Guild, but the other party became quite excited after hearing about the Corrupted Blood Honey and said they would come over immediately! Not long after, Huang Tiantian arrived with an appraiser. The entourage was still quite large, attracting the attention of many neighbors who were filled with envy and wished their sons could have even a tenth of Lu Yu's talent.
The negative example from the past has once again become someone else's child!
Huang Tiantian changed into a yellow cheongsam paired with white stockings. After seeing the appraiser nod at her, indicating that the ten bottles of rotten blood honey were of very high quality, she said with a look of surprise:
"Great! Our chamber of commerce has a distinguished guest who needs to collect a hundred kinds of toxins, and rotten blood honey is one of the key ones, but the one or two bottles in stock are simply not enough."
Because it involves a pure-blooded dragon, and a Green Dragon known for its intrigue and elusive nature, it is extremely adept at hiding itself. Even after searching several major domains, no trace of it was found. Mr. Lu, you have truly helped us a great deal this time!
"So, would you be willing to relinquish your purchasing channels? It's not free; our Darkmoon Merchant Guild is willing to offer a reasonable price!"
Lu Yu was very interested in it, but he didn't say that he was the one who made it.
After all, the Disciples and Greenery in the Corruption Realm incident almost devoured the entire border's ley lines. Although they ultimately failed, it still caused a sensation throughout the entire Alliance!
With countless eyes watching, jumping out now would be suicide!
So he shook his head and said helplessly:
"I also bought it from Huanle Street. I never imagined this thing would become an investment product..."
"pity!"
Huang Tiantian looked regretful. As a member of the well-informed Dark Moon Merchant Guild, she had naturally heard about the mysterious Pleasure Street, which was currently located at the border.
It's highly likely that Lu Yu bought it by chance at one of the trade fairs, and then he continued:
"The price of rotten blood honey used to be 300,000 per bottle, but now the market price is 580,000. However, if you buy ten bottles together... we'll offer 6 million!"
After deducting the costs of your material purchases, the purchase of ten miniature watchdog cameras, and some basic information on ancient alien species, you will have 730,000 left. This will be deposited into your account shortly; please check your bank's SMS messages.
Lu Yu was also satisfied with the price, after all, although rotten blood honey was precious, it was ultimately a consumable!
Raising poison-type pets isn't as simple as drinking one bottle; it requires continuous purchases and a constant stream of money!
If it's too expensive, people would rather not have it!
If it weren't for the fact that it involved a distinguished guest from the capital, the guest probably wouldn't have rushed over in such a hurry!
Not long after seeing Huang Tiantian off, Lu Yu received a text message from the bank. The number that used to bring him comfort now felt somewhat numbing.
That's definitely not enough!
"Speaking of which, are there gods like the God of Wealth in this world? If so, I'd like to go and worship them. It's forbidden to worship gods, even if it's just having a title; I guess I'm the only one who can do that..."
Lu Yu gave a self-deprecating laugh. Even though he didn't consider himself a superstitious person, he still lowered his head at this moment.
Then, with a thought, the world before him was swallowed by the chaotic currents, and he once again transformed into the Thousand-Handed Demon God who resided in the depths of chaos!
Enveloped by endless chaotic energy, a casual wave of the hand is enough to shake the entire void world, evolve and annihilate it!
"If only the Hundred-Eyed Cicada of the Void were here to fight me one-on-one, I wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the chaotic energy would be enough to annihilate it!"
A thought flashed through Lu Yu's mind, and then he took out the many materials he needed for this project from the resource library.
Depending on their rarity, they shimmer with varying degrees of spiritual light!
The most dazzling of them all is the dark purple coral.
【Gifted Coral: Born from Void Coral Polyps, a group of weak life forms at the bottom of the Void ecosystem, they possess a strong perception of the spirituality of the Void. They can absorb a large amount of Void spiritual energy, purify it, and gather it together to form a special coral colony, constantly cleaning up the garbage in the Void, just like the cleaners of the Void.
The conditions for its birth are that it needs to take root on the body or corpse of a powerful creature, acquire a trace of higher spirituality, trigger an explosive growth of the coral reef, and improve its cleaning ability. In this process, it will gain the favor of the will of the void, and be granted a wisp of void mark by the coral reef.
However, if the coral polyps are consumed in large quantities by the Voidfish during this period, the resulting fish oil will activate them, giving them the ability to attach to living organisms.
After consumption, it will connect with the target's spiritual essence, integrating into every blood vessel and pore of the body, resulting in a continuously growing void skin!
"So it wasn't an accident that they took root in the Hundred-Eyed Cicada. One of the conditions for their birth is the remains of a powerful creature. No wonder even the top human researchers couldn't replicate them..."
Lu Yu sighed, "Besides that, it also requires the blessing of the void's will, which is the most difficult part."
After all, it is an existence comparable to the consciousness of the main world. In this vast void, countless ancient beings have been nurtured. Even ordinary gods are insignificant in front of it!
It is estimated that only the forbidden exists, capable of interfering with Him!
If Lu Yu wants to extract the void through his extraction ability, the first thing he will have to face is the enraged will of the void!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu looked at the other materials he had purchased, including a clump of fur that appeared to be black jade!
【Void Yak Fur (3-star): A special species born in the void, a social creature that resembles a yak in appearance but is much larger, like a tall building. It has long black fur made of void power that can extend instantly when it reaches the ground, allowing it to traverse space and bind its opponents.
Then, starting from the beginning, they devour each other little by little. They love life with eyes, but dislike eating void fish because they feel the fish oil smells pungent.
Its fur harbors a large number of Void Minions, which normally feed on the host's flesh and blood to grow. They are hermaphroditic and can reproduce on their own.
In the harsh conditions of the Void, Void Yaks actively raise bulls, periodically consuming a portion of them. Once a young Yak is born and can walk, it receives its parents' first and only gift… a bull's egg!
And under their guidance, it learns to endure the gnawing of the bull, to domesticate and coexist with it. If it fails, it will starve to death and become food for the other calves.
Their fur is the core of their extraordinary organs, a top-tier material for void mediums, resistant to most void-based skills, and can be used to create skill-based concoctions.
【Moonlight Moth's Blood: A special species born in the moonlight ecosystem. Its initial form is a moonlight insect. It only climbs onto leaves when the moon is at its brightest, absorbs the moonlight, constantly refines itself, and spews out moonlight threads. In the process, it will be hunted by other natural enemies.
The last surviving Moonbug will spin enough silk to wrap itself in a cocoon, eventually transforming into a Moonmoth. Its racial skill, "Moonblade Storm," allows it to flap its wings and whip up hundreds of moonblades.
Their blood is one of the best materials for esoteric rituals, and is sometimes used to refine and preserve spiritual imprints. Sufficient primordial blood can replace supernatural organs to create esoteric elixirs for special skills.
Although there were only two items, they cost Lu Yu several million!
He kept repeating to himself, "This is an investment in the future," and then a Chaos Furnace was formed, within which the primordial fire burned fiercely.
Lu Yu wondered if it was just his imagination, but the flames in the furnace seemed even more intense than when he first saw it!
"here we go!"
Lu Yu threw the [Gifted Coral] in, and it melted the moment it came into contact with the flames, turning into a ball of purplish-red light. At first, it was as tall as a person, but as a large amount of impurities were extracted, it began to grow to the size of a fist at a visible speed.
Upon seeing this, Lu Yu immediately added the [Void Lizard Hide], which instantly transformed into a ball of jade marrow liquid under the burning flames, carrying the ball of light.
Finally, 130g of [Moonlight Moth Blood] was added. The moment it came into contact with the fist-sized ball of light, it fused with it, constantly deforming, and finally condensed into a mysterious and complex inscription that shone with a purple-gold hue.
And this... is the mark of the will of the void!
Although it may be less than one in a billion, it corresponds to the primordial power of the void!
The instant it appeared, it seemed to sense something and instinctively tried to resist, spreading endless void phenomena in an attempt to erode everything around it!
But it couldn't shake the chaotic energy at all, and was then easily suppressed by the Thousand-Handed Demon God!
boom!
The forbidden power of the secret food shone brightly, fusing together and quickly transforming into a small coral-shaped cake!
[Sacred Seal Coral Cake: Made with Grace Coral as its core, incorporating Void Lizard hide and 130g of Moonlight Moth blood, consuming this cake grants the top-tier super-level skill—Void Sacred Seal!]
Lu Yu exited Creator Mode, the chaotic energy in front of him dissipated, and the power of the Great One disappeared, leaving him with a sense of loss. However, he quickly managed to suppress this emotion.
Once you get lost in the illusion of higher-dimensional power, you may lose yourself!
So he handed the little cake to the little spider, who was no stranger to it. He took it with both hands, opened his cherry-like mouth, and swallowed it bite by bite.
hum!
The little spider was surrounded by a void light, and a special purple mark appeared on the back of its hand, resembling two intertwined snakes, before disappearing in an instant.
It didn't cause any major anomalies!
"This is……"
Lu Yu had been using his Eye of Truth and saw the turbulent undercurrents hidden beneath the calm surface.
After consuming the secret food, the little spider's spatial abilities, such as [Void Protection] and [Void Field], disappeared one by one, or rather...
It was devoured by the [Void Seal]!
Among them, [Etherealization] has dual attributes of Dream and Void and has not been assimilated. [Void Nest] is an independent entity and therefore has not disappeared, but a special mark has appeared on the skill, which seems to be related to it.
After absorbing all the pure spatial skills, countless tiny lines spread out from it, like ancient inscriptions, rapidly spreading throughout the little spider's body and merging with every part of her flesh, tendons, blood vessels, and hair!
Finally, it transformed into a completely new skill!
【Void Holy Seal: A top-tier super-level skill born after consuming the "Holy Seal Coral Cake," a skill secret food personally made by the Lord of the Gate. It also devours and merges skills such as "Void Blessing" and "Void Force Field."
While retaining its other skills and abilities, a large number of Void Seals are integrated into its flesh and soul, giving birth to Void Skin. It can directly absorb Void energy to grow, and when needed, it can be summoned through thought to cover the whole body, enhance its defense, and can also grow.
The Void Seal can condense a seal, suppress a portion of space, and amplify the power of all space-based skills. The specific effect depends on proficiency, and it also has a certain suppressive effect on space-based pets.
If you can continue to collect secret foods made from the power of the Void, you can upgrade it to a legendary Void skill!
"It's called a top-tier super-class skill, but this effect is already equivalent to half a legendary-class skill!"
Lu Yu couldn't help but marvel, as it directly surpassed the super-tier skill [Void Control] and became a true high-level void skill.
As for how powerful legendary-tier skills are, there's no need to elaborate!
The legendary passive skill [Fate's Protection] alone has helped him escape countless crises and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat many times; otherwise, he would have been caught by a group of powerful figures long ago!
The Void Saint Seal is only one step away from the legendary rank!
Simply devour enough Void Origin skills to undergo evolution!
Its abilities are self-evident; while retaining a host of skill effects, it also adds a suppression effect on space-type pets!
He was cheating and ended up getting someone else's account banned!
A real bug!
"Eek!"
The little spider was also curious and tried it out. With a thought, a large amount of void skin instantly spread out.
Chi Chi!
First, it was covered with six crystal-like spider legs, which were dark purple. Except for its head, its entire body was covered with mysterious purple skin and patterns, exuding an aura of emptiness.
However, its appearance is not bad at all. It looks like it is wearing a kind of close-fitting clothing, which adds a touch of eeriness and domineering aura to the usually holy little spider!
Click!
The six Void Eyes behind it were also covered with curse marks, making them look even more eerie, forming a huge six-eyed Void Flower, with the eyes constantly turning and watching everything!
At this moment, it was as if time suddenly accelerated on the little spider, revealing a part of its future form as a monarch monster!
The Void Spider Queen!
"That's so cool!"
The mouse standing nearby looked at Spider Sister's new form with such envy that it drooled.
However, the mouse didn't cause any trouble with Xiuren, because it knew that its own materials were simply too hard to find.
There are already few materials available for transformation-related items, so you have to look for them in other major areas, and the prices are not low.
Its ever-changing power is extremely rare. It seems that only the Faceless Brotherhood possesses it now. Apart from that, there is the monarch-level Soul-Stealing Cloud in the abandoned city, which has the ability to change and hide its soul!
The weak ones are nowhere to be found, and the strong ones are too tough to beat!
This made the mouse quite depressed!
or……
Should Xiuren be sent to infiltrate the enemy?
A long chapter of 7,300 words, please vote with monthly tickets! I'm having a bit of writer's block, so I need to sort things out and get ready to start the new plot. The first volume also needs to be brought to a close!
(End of this chapter)
