Chapter 133: Chapter 130: Hatching_1

Having confirmed this, Mu You decisively gave the spider egg to Little Ya and subsequently transported all the small animals such as hamsters, rabbits, and birds from the shop to the space. After opening their cages, these animals all spontaneously congregated around Little Ya.

At this point, Little Ya was wholly surrounded by animals. Her legs, hands, and shoulders were all laden with small creatures, making it difficult for her to move at all.

However, seeing the peaceful state of the small animals around her, she maintained her sitting pose and persisted for an hour.

During this, with nothing to do, Mu You logged in and played a game for a while.

The scarecrow at the village entrance had disappeared, and Mu You controlled his character to enter the Owl Shop nearby.

["Oh, look who’s here!" The Old Cat Store Owner was excited to see a familiar customer entering and enthusiastically showcased the three products of the day.]

[Arcane Missile Scroll: Low-level spell, capable of launching one arcane missile after activation. It automatically flies towards a random hostile entity in the vicinity, causing 50 points of damage. Price: 110 years of lifespan.]

[Sold out.]

[Sold out.]

Of the three merchandise slots, two were already empty!

It seemed that after the large-scale internal test, even the items in the shop began to sell out. From now on, he would need to come and check early every day to avoid being out of stock.

Fortunately, there was still one Spell Scroll left for him.

Arcane Missile, with only 50 points of damage, was better than nothing, but its automatic target-locking effect was very useful.

If you knowingly have enemies hiding nearby but are unsure of their exact location, you could use this spell to find their position directly.

Moreover, it was free!

[You bought the Arcane Missile Scroll, lifespan -110 years...]

[You tore open the scroll, and a spell took form in your mind...]

[As time rewinds, you return to before your purchase, your lifespan restored to its original state...]

After the ’zero cost’ operation and acquiring the new magic, Mu You felt a little guilty towards the Old Cat Store Owner, so he left the shop sheepishly, intending to return the next day.

He then returned to the log cabin, used the teleportation array to return to Foggy Mountain, drank a bowl of rice porridge in the thatched cottage, and continued to climb the mountain to boost his stamina...

An hour passed quickly, and the light sphere on top of Little Ya’s head quickly dimmed until it disappeared.

By now, a few of the animals in the circle had shown clear changes.

The first to change was the Thunder Mantis and spider egg in Little Ya’s hands.

The Thunder Mantis had woken up at this point. Although it had not evolved under the light sphere, all its injuries had healed, and its energy was fully recovered.

After rubbing affectionately on Little Ya’s hands a few times, the Thunder Mantis suddenly raised its scythe-like arms, as if to threaten the spider egg on the other side.

"Boss, this... it’s about to hatch!"

The spider egg in Little Ya’s other hand was shaking violently. Finally, with a muffled sound, a pink spider’s head popped out of it.

After surveying its surroundings, a fully pink patterned spider emerged from the egg. It then turned around and quickly devoured the eggshell.

After letting out a satisfied burp, the spider lounged in the palm of Little Ya’s hand. Noticing the Thunder Mantis on the other side, it immediately raised its front pincers as if facing a formidable enemy, emitting a ’squeak’ sound.

The Thunder Mantis, in turn, seemed to sense the provocation and raised its scythe-like arms even higher.

Seeing the standoff between the Thunder Mantis and Little Spider, Mu You remembered that both mantids and spiders in the natural world are known as ’insect killers.’ They also prey on each other, essentially destiny arch-enemies.

He was still thinking when the two started fighting.

The Thunder Mantis, unable to withstand the pressure, launched the first attack. It clashed its scythe-like arms together, producing a small flash of lightning that flew towards the Little Spider.

Perhaps for fear of accidentally hurting its owner, the lightning slightly missed its target. The Little Spider dodged it easily and then spat out a bundle of spider web in retaliation.

The spider web expanded in mid-air like a bug-catching net and enveloped the mantis. The Thunder Mantis immediately took wing to fly out, narrowly escaping the spider web.

The spider web, however, accurately caught Cola, who just woke up and was yawning and stretching.

The spider web contracted as soon as it hit the target, instantly tying Cola into a round ’Cat Ball’ that rolled far away on the ground.

The next second, Cola’s wails echoed throughout the baggage space: "Meow!!!"

"Stop fighting, stop fighting, we’re all friends here!"

Mu You and Little Ya hurriedly separated the two. Little Ya caught the flying Thunder Mantis, and Mu You summoned Little Spider to his hand.

"Squeak!"

The Gluttonous Demon Spider jumped into Mu You’s hand. Its round eyes observed him for a while, as if confirming something. Suddenly, it lay down in his palm, using his hand as a bed to roll about. Then, it kicked up a ball made of spider silk and started to play merrily.

"Can you talk?" Mu You asked as he watched it.

"Squeak?"

The Little Spider paused, turning in puzzlement to look at him, seemingly not understanding what he meant.

"It seems you can’t."

Mu You sighed, it appeared that for creatures like Cola to directly communicate with humans through thoughts required special training.

"Squeak!" The Little Spider squeaked again, continuing to look at him with confusion.

"You can only make one sound..."

Mu You laughed helplessly. As expected of a juvenile, its intelligence was still at a very low level.
