Chapter 332 Bloodline

After a series of tentative attacks, the old spider king was covered in bruises.

"I'll give you a good time right away!" Ian pierced the long sword into the Spider King's body from all directions.

After four or five attempts, the old spider king finally freed the spider silk under Ian's sword.

After finishing the enemy in front of him, Ian got up and looked around.

The flames have been completely extinguished, and the valley has returned to darkness and silence.

"It's okay!" Ian smiled slightly.

The battle dragged on for a long time, but no monsters came to interfere.

Is it because the giant spider lair is too deterrent to other monsters in the dense forest?

Or are they different giant spider lairs, whose territories are highly independent?
Ian is not sure about the specific reason, but it must be a good thing that there are no monsters to disturb him.

"Since there are no monsters to disturb, this is the right place to study the spider king's corpse carefully!" Ian decided not to leave the valley in a hurry.

After coming to this world and seeing all kinds of dangerous creatures, Ian became very curious about the power of blood.

Now that he harvested two powerful creatures at once, he naturally couldn't wait to study them.

But Ian is also very clear about priorities:
"Before that, we need to study the body structure of the Spider King!"

First drag the corpses of the two spider kings together.

After the battle with the old spider king, Ian discovered that the new spider king had died naturally.

It's just that the death is a bit strange, and the carapace on his body is dull, giving people a very fragile feeling.

As for the old spider king's body, although it was scarred and almost complete, the dark silver luster did not change significantly.

"The death of this spider king is a bit weird!"

Ian glanced at the corpse of the new spider king suspiciously, put it aside temporarily, and dissected the old spider king's body first.

He knows too little about the biological knowledge unique to this world, and direct analysis may cause errors due to conceptual differences.

So he chose to dissect it himself, not only to obtain more accurate information, but also to take the opportunity to collect biological information.

He first confirmed the scars on Spider King's body again:

"This spider king seems to be born purely for fighting, and there are hardly any fatal weaknesses in his body!"

The body structure of the spider king looks exactly the same as that of ordinary giant spiders, but it is actually very different.

In giant spiders, the head is its Achilles' heel.

But on Spider King's body, the usual fatal position of the head was not the Achilles' heel.

In the battle just now, Ian tried to pierce the spider king's head.

As a result, even though the head was pierced by Ian's sword, the spider king was still alive and kicking.

As for the impact of piercing the head on the spider king?
Ian only saw that the spider king's perception was partially damaged, and his balance and coordination were also slightly disturbed.

There is no fatal weakness, which means that it cannot be killed with one blow. As the battle is prolonged, variables may occur.

Fortunately, during the battle just now, Ian accidentally discovered:
"The biggest weakness of the Spider King is the scar on its tail! This scar should be caused when the egg sac fell off!"

Although piercing the scar of the Spider King is not fatal, it can greatly weaken the Spider King's strength.

After dissection, Ian found that the tissue structure under the scar was very complicated.

Therefore, after destroying the scar, the impact on the Spider King will be huge. At least [-]% of the weakening is enough to reduce the difficulty of killing by more than half.

"But it's quite difficult to attack this scar!" Ian had already tested it just now.

The scar is under the spider king's abdomen, protected by six spider legs. Even though it doesn't have the strongest forelimbs, it still shows a good defensive effect.

This is just a spider king who lacks combat experience. If it is a stronger and more experienced spider king, it will definitely be more difficult to deal with!
This is obviously not good news for Ian.

After all, if he continues to go deep into the dense forest, the probability of encountering other spider groups is [-]%.

Therefore, he and the Spider King must have another chance to fight again, and there are absolutely many chances!
After the battle, Ian came to a conclusion:
"Spider King has quite a few weaknesses, but he is also very well prepared!"

"Joints, head, tail, etc., these places are all common weaknesses of the spider king."

"The positions of the joints and the head are not bad. Although it is not a fatal weakness, it is enough to effectively weaken the Spider King's strength."

While dismembering the spider king's body, Ian thought about a more efficient way to deal with the spider king:
"Ordinary spider kings are lucky to say that they generally have relatively poor combat experience, and with a little skill, they can easily break through their defenses.

The key is that there are definitely not only a large number of ordinary spider kings in the depths of the dense forest, but there must also be stronger spider kings! "

"Since the spider king is a living creature, it might not have any weaknesses." Ian was sure of this,

"Then where is the Achilles' heel of the Spider King?"

The spider king is too big and has no clear goal, so during the battle, there is no time to conduct all-round exploration
With this question in mind, Ian continued to dissect the spider king's body.

As a result, something was soon discovered: "Sure enough, the head is just a sensory organ, and the real brain of the Spider King is under the hardest carapace!"

Just knowing this conclusion is useless, Ian doesn't have enough power to use.

Given the tonnage gap between the two sides, Ian's strength is far from enough to allow him to pierce the spider king's back armor even if he holds a magic weapon.

"Then we can only weaken the Spider King's strength first, and then kill it slowly!" Ian finally came to this conclusion.

Against ordinary spider kings, this tactic has been proven to be effective.

It's just that the time for the tactics to work is too slow, and some changes are likely to occur.

After completing the analysis of Spider King's body structure, Ian's dissection continued.

In addition to the body structure of the Spider King, Ian is more interested in its bloodline.

However, through genetic analysis, Ian did not find the bloodline, but only proved that the two spider kings were indeed directly related.

This undoubtedly shows that the blood of this world and genetics are two different things.

However, Ian has never learned about bloodlines, and he hasn't even established an accurate concept of bloodlines, so he naturally doesn't have the ability to analyze bloodlines.

Without bloodline analysis, if Ian wants to study bloodlines, he can only do scientific research by himself.

Ian was very curious: "What is the essence of the blood in this world?"

"Why is it that the more powerful a creature is, the stronger its blood must be?..."

With these questions in mind, Ian pulled the corpse of the new spider king over.

Intuition told Ian that the death of the new spider king must be inseparable from the blood.

As soon as Ian cut the knife, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with the new spider king's body.

The hardness of the spider king's carapace has not changed, but it has lost a little special power, and it seems to have no charm.

This difference greatly reduced the defensive effect of the spider king's carapace, which was far less solid than before.

Not only the carapace, but also some other organs, compared with the same organs in the old spider king's body, they all lack a kind of charm.

"The missing thing may be the power of the blood!?" Ian guessed.

This discovery made him realize the existence of blood veins from the side, and it seems that only blood veins can reasonably explain this phenomenon.

"Since it's called blood, it should be extracted from blood, right?" Ian was a little uncertain, but collected the remaining blood of the two spider kings.

Because of the way Ian chose to fight, the blood loss of the Spider King was very serious, and in the end only a few thousand milliliters of blood was collected.

Compared to the huge size of the Spider King, this amount of blood can only be described as insignificant.

However, if it is purely used for experiments, the blood is more than enough!
If it is not enough, you can hunt other spider kings to obtain new experimental samples.

At the moment when he was about to start, Ian encountered another difficulty:

"What should I do to extract the veins from the blood?"

Knowledge about bloodlines is an absolute taboo in this world. Ian can't even find a way to obtain it, so he can only slowly explore it by himself.

"Why don't you try blood separation first?" Ian took out a set of crude experimental equipment.

This set of experimental instruments was cast by him in order to adjust the feel in the process of building the equipment.Didn't expect it to come in handy.

This crude experimental instrument can only be said to be barely usable, and the power is all by hand.

Ian was just trying and didn't have too much expectation.

But in just 10 minutes, he finished the first round of experiments.

The process of the experiment was unexpectedly smooth, but the results of the experiment were not satisfactory!
Looking at the completely indistinguishable liquids in the two test tubes, Ian couldn't help but wonder:
"The power of blood does not come from blood?"

The blood of the old Spider King had been separated by multiple layers, and Shen Yun had completely disappeared, and it looked no different from the result of the blood separation of the new Spider King.

"It seems that blood, like other body tissues, only carries a little blood power!" Ian could only come to this conclusion.

Perhaps it was the process of blood separation that destroyed the structure of the blood, causing the rapid loss of blood power.

In the most likely blood, no target was found, so Ian could only transfer the target.

He picked up the old spider king's heart, and suddenly his expression changed slightly:
"The blood power in the heart is also dissipating, is it because the source is lost?"

It doesn't just mean he's pressed for time.

It also means that the source of the bloodline is likely to have disappeared, and there is a high probability that it has not been found.

But the experiment that should be done, still needs to be done!
This time I didn't find the result, but found another phenomenon:
Even excluding the power of the blood, the strength of the Old Spider King's body tissues far exceeded the normal range.

This is definitely not normal!
"The bloodline will also subtly strengthen the body?" This discovery gave Ian an inspiration,
"Bloodline inheritance? Who stipulated that bloodlines must be inherited through blood?"

His law runes can also feed back on himself, subtly improving his physical fitness.

The principle and effect of its function are similar to the blood of this world.

"The so-called bloodline inheritance is likely to be something similar to law runes and godheads, and they are all surreal existences!" Ian guessed.

This conjecture can only be left for the time being, and he will study it slowly after he captures the new Spider King alive one day.

After packing up his things, Ian continued to set off without stopping here to rest.

This time, no monsters rushed up like moths to a flame, and even where Ian passed, all kinds of monsters retreated.

Ian suddenly thought of a piece of information mentioned in the intelligence:
"The monsters in the dark jungle are extremely aggressive. Even if they find that outsiders are powerful, they will probably hang far away and wait for the opportunity to move."

"That is to say, at most they dare not take the initiative to attack, and they will definitely not retreat!"

Ian's heart moved, and he thought of a possibility:
"Maybe it's because I got some kind of special aura in the process of destroying the two spider nests?"

This possibility is very high, and there is only a group of giant spiders in the dark forest that can keep all other monsters at bay.

Of course, the contaminated things can make the monster retreat, and it may also attract the hatred of the spider king.

But generally speaking, Ian still thinks:
"There is a little downside, but the benefits are significantly greater!"

The deterrent effect can make ordinary monsters avoid it, saving Ian a lot of time.

And the effect of arousing the spider king's hatred is also what he needs.

"It's hard to find the spider's nest, so it's best to let the spider king find it by himself." Ian thought with anticipation.

Of course, the spider king will not come to the door in person, they usually stay in the spider nest to lay eggs, or command the spider group by remote control.

If you want to find the spider king, you can only find the spider nest.

But in the dark dense forest, giant spiders are everywhere, but whether you can encounter a spider nest depends on luck.

After all, Mirkwood is so big, but the field of vision is only so small!

Ian also thought about tracking giant spiders to find their spider nests.

However, the probability of success is too low, and it is more likely to directly cause the attack of the giant spider.

Without command, these bugs have low intelligence and will attack all outsiders without end.

It's easy to kill, but if you don't kill enough, it's hard to attract the Spider King's attention.

This will undoubtedly waste a lot of time!

"If I can directly attract the spider wave commanded by the Spider King himself, I can determine the direction of the spider nest faster and save a lot of time!" Ian thought.

It is not difficult for Ian to determine the location of the spider's nest under the command of the spider king.

Walking out of the territory of the valley spider's nest, Ian encountered the figure of the giant spider again.

As expected of the overlord of the Mirkwood, their shadows are really everywhere.

The moment it found Ian, the giant spider was stunned for a moment, and then it didn't rush forward crazily, but turned around and fled without hesitation.

"Run away?!" Ian was slightly surprised, but then he figured out what was going on.

It must be the special breath left by destroying the spider's nest, which stimulated some kind of preset reaction program of the giant spider.

After thinking it through, Ian chased after him without hesitation.

It doesn't matter if the giant spider is going to flee back to the lair for help, or it's going to lure Ian into a trap.

As long as you follow this giant spider, you can find the spider's nest faster!

Because as long as the spider group wants to deal with him, the spider king will definitely take the lead.

The spider king personally commanded, which happened to be the result Ian needed.

"I hope I can gain something from the Spider King this time!" Ian thought expectantly.

He already regarded the Spider King as something in his pocket, and he didn't care about the jungle overlord at all.

In fact, Ian is really not worried about any accidents.

On the outskirts of the dense forest near the population, the spider groups have basically never had a war, and their action patterns are basically the same, so it's easy to judge!
