My Magic Age

I used an axe to split the skull of the mane beast, and saw that there was indeed a walnut-sized magic core embedded in the skull. I used a sharp dagger to dig the magic core out from the inner wall of the skull, washed the blood stains on it with clean water, and put it in the purse.

Not every low-level monster skull has a magic core, but the stronger the monster, the greater the probability of having a magic core in the skull. It is a pleasant surprise to be able to obtain a magic core.

My eyes fell on the two fangs in the mouth of the mane beast. I cut the skin and flesh on the face of the mane beast, revealing a row of sharp white teeth inside, but only two fangs are very precious.

I dug the fangs out of the gums of the bristle beast. I didn't expect that the two fangs of the bristle beast were more than two feet long. The fangs were covered with red blood lines. These red blood lines formed natural magic patterns, which gave the two fangs the attribute of "armor-breaking". This is also the preciousness of the bristle beast fangs. It is said that the spears made of bristle beast fangs can easily penetrate the heavy tower shield.

Suddenly I heard some strange noises in the forest. I didn't pay much attention to it. Maybe it was the sound of some small beasts fighting or hunting. I estimated that I had been away from the team for a while, and I should return to the team as soon as possible to avoid worrying people.

I put four pieces of leg meat with bones and two pieces of rib meat into the magic box. The magic box is specially used to store magic beast materials and precious magic herbs. It can keep those unprocessed magic beast materials fresh and not rotten for a long time, and also prevent the loss of magic herbs.

After putting the magic box into the magic waist bag, I stood up and watched the ice walls on both sides of the mane beast cave melt. Cracks appeared on the wall, and then they broke and collapsed, turning into ice debris on the ground, melting into the soil covered with weeds.

All traces of the battle gradually disappeared, and the remaining mane beast body was lying on the ground, with a large pool of blood on the ground.

I was about to return along the original route, and I heard a faint cry for help from the depths of the jungle again.

I suddenly thought to myself: 'I left the team with Takama to hunt the mane beast. Because of the footprints of the mane beast halfway, we parted ways. Now, I hunted this mane beast alone, but still didn't see any trace of Takama. '

'Could it be that Takama was in danger? ' I thought to myself.

Following the fleeting cry for help, I groped towards the dense forest, but did not find any signs of fighting nearby. The cry for help made me feel a little strange.

I walked a long way carefully, but found nothing in the jungle, and hesitated whether to continue tracking.

…

"Hiss..."

It was a sound of metal friction, which made people feel sore in all their joints.

I followed the sound and climbed over a small earth slope, pushed aside the leaves of the lush Amaranthus in front of me, and looked forward. The forest in front was full of spider silk like cotton wool. From the ground to the trees, the whole forest was white.

The scene in front of me was actually a spider's nest. A human-shaped white silk cocoon was hanging upside down on the horizontal branch of a huge fir tree. The human-shaped silk cocoon was still shaking, as if trying to struggle out of the cocoon.

My eyes extended along the white silk cocoon to both sides, and I saw that the horizontal branches of the big tree were full of silk cocoons of various shapes.

Some were spotted deer with their four hooves gathered together, and even their antlers were covered with spider silk.

Some were smaller flying birds. When they struggled in the cocoons, their wings were twisted and entangled by spider silk, and they seemed to die in great pain.

There was even a huge mane beast that was also knocked down on the horizontal branch of the tree, and it looked so abrupt among dozens of white cocoons.

There were also several white cocoons in the shape of people, swaying with the breeze in the forest. It seemed that the cocoons were light and weightless. It might be that the flesh and blood had been sucked clean by the big spider, leaving only the empty shell.

There should be a person in that cocoon, and the cry for help should have come from the cocoon. A giant red and black patterned spider with a body length of more than five meters was hanging upside down under the tree canopy, with countless compound eyes on its head staring at the struggling cocoon, as if its long legs like bamboo joints were hanging on the spider web.

On both sides of its body, there are two black tentacles like spears, aiming at the struggling silk cocoon. Its mouthparts are constantly squirming, and a bone tube is extended from the middle of the mouthparts. The tip of the tube is very sharp. It carefully aims the sharp bone tube at the struggling silk cocoon and slowly moves closer.

Its spider legs are covered with sharp barbs, which looks very scary.

I heard that the general way spiders eat is to wrap the prey with spider silk, and then inject the venom in the mouthparts into the prey's body alive. The prey is gradually corroded by the venom in the silk cocoon and melts into a pool of nutrient solution. Finally, the nutrient solution is sucked into the stomach by the bone straw in the spider's mouth.

Once the person in the silk cocoon is injected with venom by this giant spider, it will be hopeless.

I didn't think much about it. I just felt that the person struggling in the spider web must be Takama, the lizard man who came out with me to chase the bristle beast.

So I half-crouched on the ground, took out the silver long-barreled hunting rifle, put the butt on my shoulder, held the gun with one hand, and placed the other hand on the mechanism of the hunting rifle. I injected a trace of magic power in my hand into the trigger device of the gun body. The magic pattern array at the core of the hunting rifle showed a series of bright lights. I didn't have time to attach the "flame tongue weapon" to the barrel. I just waited for the precise trajectory that appeared in the sea of ​​​​spirit to coincide with the crosshairs in my eyes. I aimed at the compound eyes of the giant spider and gently hooked the mechanism.

"Bang", a tongue of fire spurted out of the silver barrel, and a copper bullet sprayed out from the muzzle, turning into a red line of fire.

Directly blew up several grape-sized compound eyes of the giant spider, and a black and purple viscous liquid flowed out of the shriveled compound eyes. The giant spider once again made a friction sound like metal plates squeezed together.

"Hiss..."

The sound was very loud and pierced the eardrum.

Soon it found me squatting in the bushes and shooting with a gun. The giant spider raised its pedipalps on both sides of its body, and its spindle-like tail sprayed a white spider silk. It fell rapidly from the tree canopy along the spider silk.

During this period, I fired another shot at the giant spider, but this time because the giant spider was moving at a high speed, I was a little unlucky. The bullet hit the hard spider leg, but only broke the barb on one of the spider legs. Then the bullet was directly bounced away as if it hit a hard steel plate.

My heart suddenly chilled. I didn't expect that the spider's shell was so hard, and it moved very quickly. In a breath, it quickly slid to the ground with the tough spider silk sprayed from its tail.

The eight spider legs fell lightly on the ground, and took turns moving the spider legs on both sides of its body and rushed towards me.

When my giant spider was hanging on the tree, I didn't feel its horror. When it fell from the tree, it was as big as a magic caravan, rushing towards me with its fangs and claws bared. It could cross three or four meters in one step. After taking a few steps forward, the distance between me and it was shortened.

Although the giant spider could rush up at any time, I remained very calm. I quickly drew a magic pattern array on my chest. As I fluently said the magic spell, a two-meter-long ice spear condensed from the top of my head. The whole ice spear emitted waves of white cold air, and crystal snowflakes fell from the top of my head in twos and threes.

The ice spear followed a trace of my magic power and flew straight towards the giant spider. The giant spider just stretched out a two-meter-long forelimb and fiercely stabbed at the ice spear, directly intercepting the ice spear in mid-air. The ice spear with cold air all over the body collided with the iron-hard spider leg.

With a "pop..." sound, the entire ice spear turned into ice powder in the air. The giant spider stretched out its forelimbs, which were stained with some light blue ice flames, and a layer of ice condensed on the entire spider leg.

But the next second, it rushed out of the ice mist. It could cross three or four meters in one step. After taking a few steps forward, it was much closer to me.

I took out another "Frost Nova" magic scroll from my magic waist bag and ran towards it. Just three meters away from it, I quickly unfolded the scroll and uttered a short magic spell. A blue ice ring spread out rapidly with my body as the center.

The spider thought I rushed over to fight it, raised its two sharp front tentacles high, and pointed them at me like two black spears, but I didn't expect that there was only an ice ring waiting. At the moment after the ice ring was released, I turned sideways to the left and rolled directly along the grass.

The giant spider's sharp spear-like forelimbs rubbed my leather armor and stabbed into the ground. I rolled over several times on the grass, and stood up swiftly from the grass by inertia. I turned my head to look at the giant spider, and saw that its eight spider legs and huge, plump spindle abdomen were all imprisoned in place by the ice ring.

The densely packed purple grape-like compound eyes on the top of the giant spider's head stared at me intently. Some of the compound eyes shrank, but no longer flowed black and purple viscous liquid. Its mouthparts kept squirming, but it couldn't catch up.

It shook the spinneret at its tail, and a white streak shot towards me like a sharp arrow. An ice shield instantly appeared in front of me. The spider silk stuck to the ice shield and quickly pulled the ice shield back. The front tentacles crushed the ice shield fiercely.

Taking advantage of the gap when it crushed the ice shield with its forelimbs, I rushed over decisively, and the Shura Axe looked down fiercely at one of its spider legs.

After two crisp clangs, the sharp Shura Axe did not trigger the "Wind Fury" effect, but only cut off two hard thorns on the spider's legs. The giant spider could not bear the pain and struggled desperately in anger. At one time, three spider legs broke free from the ice. After a spider leg on my side broke free from the ice, it immediately stabbed at me like a spear.

After a while, I condensed an ice shield above my head. The spider leg stabbed on the ice shield and pierced through it instantly. I took this opportunity to escape from under its spider leg.

When retreating, I swung the axe randomly behind me, but I didn't expect to chop the spider leg that was freed from its restraints. The black cyclone surged from the axe blade and immediately cut off the spider leg that was as hard as gold and stone. The cut made by the axe blade was unusually smooth. A milky white liquid flowed out of the pink leg meat wrapped inside the giant spider leg armor, and the pink flesh was constantly trembling.

Suddenly, a hoarse dragon roar came from the depths of the jungle full of spider webs. A leather-armored dragon ran out of the forest full of spider webs. Its body was covered with white spider silk, and its chest became a little burnt, which looked like a scar from fire.

When it saw me, it roared at me anxiously and angrily.

I don't understand dragon language, but I recognized it as Ledie's mount.

Its roar was not just a simple roar. I could clearly see the request for help and anxiety in its eyes, and it was in a state of rage.

Then, it roared threateningly at the giant spider. The giant spider also retreated fearfully and raised its two front tentacles high.

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but I found that the dragon was inviting me to join forces.

I took a few steps back tentatively and stood beside the dragon. The dragon looked at me with some doubt, then raised its strong hind legs, lowered its head to reveal its long horn, roared softly, and gradually accelerated step by step, rushing forward.

And I added the effects of ‘petrified skin’ and ‘wind sprint’ to the dragon, and it rushed towards the giant spider like a running train.

The giant spider’s body was in an arch shape, and a sharp whistle came out of its mouthparts. The ice on the spider’s legs burst one after another under the violent tremor. It broke free from its restraints and raised its black tentacles like spears high, like a large net, waiting for the dragon to crash into it. Seven powerful spider legs supported its tank-like body like a top pole. It opened its huge mouth and issued a sharp and provocative hissing sound at the running dragon.

Under great danger, the giant spider seemed to have forgotten my existence.

A blue hexagram of magic rose slowly under my feet, and with countless water elements emerging from all around, a two-meter-long ice spear condensed above my head.

As the magic spell in my mouth ended, I finally uttered a "go!"

The ice spear burning with blue ice flames chased after the dragon, flying ten times faster than the dragon's running speed. It exuded a terrifying cold air. When it passed through the air, a crystal snowflake condensed on the white track at the end of its tail. The ice spear stuck to the dragon's back and suddenly appeared in the giant spider's blind spot. Unprepared, it hit the giant spider's head with a "bang", and the ice spear pierced into the giant spider's head from countless compound eyes.
