Chapter 359 Cultivation of Spiderlings

When the boat reached the platform where Aike's laboratory was located, Mo Bei docked the boat and waved to the three of Akali:

"I'm going to ask Elder Aike for something. He is an alchemist who is using witchcraft to cultivate giant spiders that can be controlled by humans. Let's go and have a look."

The three of them nodded happily, and they were also very curious about the matter Mo Bei mentioned before. The mutated creatures that humans can control have never been seen before.

Once a creature mutates, it will turn its face and deny people, even the ravens that have been hatched and fed by their own hands. Once let go, it may be a lifetime.

Including that late reply. . .

If you are unlucky, if you send it out several times in a row and there is no news, it will probably be a sad ending.

At present, some people have discovered that the courier profession has good returns, because now gems can be synthesized, and the cost of teleportation can be measured in gold coins.

As long as you can endure the pain caused by the mental shock, you can shuttle back and forth between various human strongholds with large packages of letters or even packages.

Mo Bei and the others are not the only ones who are aware of the importance of mental resistance. Many people have repeatedly tempered their mental power through this kind of work, so now there are people hanging around the letter collection offices in various strongholds every day. The industry competition is quite fierce. . . .

"Elder Aike."

Mo Bei stood at the door of the laboratory and called cautiously, as if Aike was actually assembling a nuclear warhead inside.

Considering that this alchemist was also experimenting with witchcraft refining insects for the first time, he was really afraid that something would go wrong because of his interruption.

At this time, the laboratory looked smoky, filled with the smell of burning herbs. Aike was holding a small smoking copper stove, carefully baking something, when he heard Mo Bei's voice, he raised his head slightly. Looking back with heavy eyelids.

"Hey? You're here, just in time, these little guys will hatch soon, take a look."

"So fast? Uh... what have you experienced..."

Mo Bei saw that he was haggard, his lips were gray, and his arms were full of knife marks that hadn't completely healed. His eyelids jumped when he saw it, but Aike didn't seem to have heard of his question, and continued to move slowly with concentration The small copper stove in the hand.

Bleeding insects?

There is no need to be so extreme, right?
Mo Bei guessed in his heart, approached a copper basin that Aike was smoking, and looked at it. There were dozens of soybean-sized spider eggs in it, like tick abdominal sacs that had sucked blood, and were still trembling slightly. It really looks like it's about to hatch.

"I think you should drink this..."

He took out a bottle of life potion and handed it over. After all, he was a gray-haired old man. Although the profuse bloodletting would not damage his physique, the current appearance was still unbearable.

"No, I've taken the medicine, look! It's out, it's out!"

Aiko stubbornly refused, pointing to one of the spider eggs that had been pierced with a needle eye and screamed excitedly.

The three of Akali also surrounded her with their heads around, and saw that the egg skin of the young egg was being eaten by the young spider, and the opening kept expanding, and a small spider with some transparent limbs came out after a while. .

The newly hatched spiderling was only the size of a fingernail after unfolding, and Aike carefully moved it to a small jar alone, letting it continue to eat the egg skin.

As the other young spiders revealed their broken shells, he was busy for a while, and several people from Mo Bei also gathered around to help pass the jars prepared by Aike and put them on the shelf.

With the ears of several people, they could hear the rustling sound coming from these jars. The young spider devoured the egg skin soaked in blood and medicinal juice. They are quite flexible, crawling happily in the jar, but none of them crawled out of the jar.

"Can you control them now?" Mo Bei asked.

"It's too small, and they haven't yet developed a consciousness that can communicate. It may take a few days. They will stay in the jar obediently, because the mouth of the jar has been rubbed with medicine."

Aike took out another large basin containing dark red minced meat.

"It's chopped up liver, the favorite food of spiderlings."

As he spoke, he winked at Mo Bei approvingly, and then began to feed the young spiders one by one.Where these livers come from is self-evident.

"I'll come, I'll come."

Mo Bei reached out and took the basin, then took out a piece of papyrus and handed it to Aike and said:

"Can you give me some of the materials on this list?"

This is the list given by Perona. It contains the things that Milor needs for training. Novices practice soul separation. It is not too safe to have an isolation circle, and some arrangements need to be made to protect the separated soul.

"No problem, you are feeding here, I will find it for you."

Ai Ke took the list and scanned it, then looked at the newborn spiderlings with some reluctance, and left the laboratory quickly.

Mo Bei and the others watched the little spiders inject venom into the liver fragments, and soon the livers showed signs of corrosion, and then began to suck.

Watching this scene, they both felt a little tingling in their scalps, and also felt refreshed by feeding exotic pets.

While the four of them were watching dozens of newborn spiderlings feasting on them, several members of the iron wolf guard came outside the laboratory.

Each of them carried a dozen silk sacs in their hands. These silk sacs should be unhatched young eggs. They were not put into the inventory to preserve the vitality in them. Only the food of the experimental body.

Witch crafting insects are inseparable from cannibalism and cannibalism. Absorbing nutrients from other species can make them stronger, and devouring a large number of similar species can make them naturally produce an aura that can deter ordinary giant spiders when they grow up. .

The two complement each other, and this group of carefully cultivated young spiders has a great possibility to become the leader of the population in the future.

These iron wolves had never met Mo Bei face-to-face, and left directly after leaving the silk sac, but it took more than half an hour for Aike to come back. It seems that the materials on that list are quite hard to find , took him a lot of time.

His eyes lit up when he saw the young egg silk sac delivered, and he handed over all the prepared materials to Mo Bei.

He was also very pleasantly surprised to see that the young spiders had eaten up their livers, and some of them had their backs cracked.

After a slight twist, those spiderlings with split backs slowly retreated from the gray-brown old skin starting from the cephalothorax.

The four of Mo Bei saw that the spider had already begun to shed its skin for the first time in less than an hour after it hatched, and they were all amazed. This growth rate seemed to speed up the progress of time, which was completely unreasonable.

After the molt, the body of the little spider is already as big as a gold coin, and in Aike's eyes, these little spiders are countless times cuter than a gold coin.

He took two basketball-sized silk sacs and cut them open, poured all the milky white young eggs into a basin, poured them into a bottle of blue-green concoction, mixed them well, and took out a spoon like scooping beans, Give two scoops to each newly molted spiderling.

Seeing the little spiders eating happily, his old sickly face was filled with joy, and his complexion improved a lot.

The overflowing sense of happiness made Mo Bei seem to see Zhuo Genan who was tending the seedlings in the glass greenhouse.

A man's happiness is really simple.
