Warhammer: Black Emperor

Chapter 149: Hunting the Legendary Giant Spider
On the huge planet that had just been renamed Necromunda from Spider Star, the towering towers naturally transformed into hive cities.

At the bottom of the first hive, black-armored warriors crawled into the pipes amidst the curious and fearful gazes of the residents trapped there.

Nimrod bent his body slightly and moved forward in the damp and filthy pipe.

After walking forward a few hundred steps, he first saw a corpse lying on the ground holding its legs, its feet bloody and mangled. A moment later, as expected, he saw the thorn crystal in the corner of the sewage pit.

The Primarch flashed and picked up the "lawyer's" auxiliary materials from the sewage pit and put them into his huge backpack.

Seeing that the Primarch was interested in the coral-like crystals, the "Unsleeping Ones" bent down to pick them up. The darkness and filth were no obstacle to them.

After walking forward a few dozen steps, Ning Lu suddenly drew out the power sword from his waist and swung it casually.

The blue decomposition force field wrapped around the sword blade collided with the tendril-like creature that suddenly jumped out of the sewage pit, crushing the two-meter-long wet, sticky and swollen creature into pieces.

[Slushy jelly.]
Deep within the silt seas and toxic cesspools of the Underhive and Underhive, where it would seem impossible for any living thing to survive, slime jellies thrive in this harsh environment.

The tendrils of the slime jelly can sense the surrounding environment. When those idiots struggling to survive approach, they will suddenly rush out, wrap around the unlucky person's body, paralyze the victim with the toxins secreted by the tendrils, and then drag the unlucky person into the dirty slime body to slowly digest it.

[Not a potion ingredient.]
Nimrod then swung his sword and casually killed another huge mud jelly that had lived for who knows how many centuries.

The bottom floor of the hive is a dangerous place for any experienced survivor, and they will carefully avoid dangerous places such as sewage pits and dark places.

But they were not a threat to the sensitive Order Shadows. They kept moving forward and killed those dangerous creatures one by one.

In the future, before dangerous creatures from other areas run into this area, the residents who are struggling to make ends meet in this area will find that this place has become safe.

[According to the results of the exploration, the giant spider once appeared in an abandoned dome and dragged away some unlucky scavengers.]
While the Primarch was thinking, he walked out of the winding pipe and into an abandoned dome.

As soon as they stepped into the dome, hundreds of monsters spread their wings and pounced on the black-armored warriors.

[Tear the kid.]
Nimrod took a quick glance and recognized these predators as a hybrid of giant bats and piranhas, tearing apart the huge abandoned dome where the boy was hanging upside down, and when hunting they would pick up their prey with their claws and wrap them with their wings.

The Rip-Boy would then gouge out the victim's eyes and slit the face and throat.

[One of the main ingredients for the potion in Sequence 8, "Provocateur," the sequel to "Hunter."]
After some thought, Ningluo decided to keep the body of the Tear Boy intact.

The Primarch took a deep breath, his eyes flickering, and suddenly opened his mouth, letting out a psychic howl.

Under his control, the shock wave of the subspace energy did not affect the offspring behind him, but completely covered the Tearing Boy.

"Psychic Scream" instantly shattered the spirits of hundreds of Tear Boys, and they fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Go around and search for traces of the giant spider."

The Shadows of Order obeyed the order and left. Nimrod took this opportunity to quickly move the Tear Boy back to the "Kingdom of Disorder".

[With the Ripper, the only thing missing for the Provocateur potion is Squig.

Well, orcs love to keep Squiggles in captivity, especially the Snakebite clan.

There are many kinds of Squiggs. In addition to the ordinary jumping ones, there are also edible ones and those that can be used as mounts.

Even those ordinary jumping flounders have the potential to become Squiggles and Grunges. They are also part of the greenskin ecosystem. I think the power of thought allows for anything.]
While Nimrod was thinking, he moved all the bodies of the Tear Boys into a palace. After returning to reality, he received a report from a "hunter".

"Father, I found traces of a giant spider passing through."

Upon hearing this, the Primarch immediately summoned other Shadows of Order and rushed to the location of the "Hunter".

After arriving here, he indeed saw many sticky silk threads hanging around, and there were deep V-shaped footprints on the ground and the dome stone walls.

"Follow the traces."

Nimrod gave orders to the "hunters", and the shadows of order immediately dispersed, some leaning over to check the ground, and some inspecting the walls.

After a while, they gathered together to discuss the traces, and only after reaching a unanimous conclusion did they lead the way forward.

Even for the locals of Spider Star, the giant spider is just a legend that has been passed down for thousands of years. It is both a belief and a synonym for fear and nightmare.

There is only one result for everyone who encounters the giant spider, and that is death. This is why they have become legendary creatures.

Of course, there is never a shortage of adventurers in the Lower Nest, where human life is worthless. They are attracted by the precious meat and venom of the giant spider and want to hunt one in exchange for huge wealth and ascend to the top of the tower.

What awaits them is death.

Giant spiders have a strong sense of territory. Anyone who enters their territory will be dragged away, hung on the spider web and eaten.

The hunting team of Order Shadow moved forward, the spider webs became denser and denser, and they stepped into the territory of the giant spider.

While walking, Nimrod looked forward. In his "subspace vision", he saw two creatures emitting light of fear and death on the lake-like surface in front of him.

Their projections in the warp are clearly visible. [Raft Spider.

Today is a lucky day.]
Nimrod knew that the raft spider was the most precious of all the giant spider species. Their eyes, as pure and precious as diamonds, tempted every greedy hunter.

The Primarch reached out and snatched the chainsword from the hand of a "hunter" beside him. In his hand, it was just a dagger.

He flashed and quickly came to the sewage pool.

Two raft spiders, nearly a hundred meters tall, glided gracefully across the surface of the sewage pool.

For them, which were as tall as Emperor-class Titans but even more massive, it seemed extremely awkward for them to slide across the surface of the sewage, but Nimrod knew that this was the characteristic of the raft spider and the reason for its name.

As the Primarch looked at the Raft Spiders, they looked back at him.

They instinctively sensed the terrifying aura emanating from the small black creature in front of them. They arched their bodies, the silk glands in their abdomens twitched, and the spider silk swung like a long white whip.

Ningluo narrowed his black eyes and noticed that spiritual light was emanating from several parts of the giant spider's body.

[Wow, your whole body is covered with potion ingredients.

Eyes, fangs, silk glands, even legs.]
In order to preserve the integrity of the potion ingredients, he did not use power weapons or grenade launchers. The Primarch suddenly took off and ran, speeding through the sewage pool.

The giant spider swung its head violently, and the spider silk whipped towards his black figure. The white "whip" was as fast as lightning, but the Primarch was even faster.

Each of his steps was accurately placed on the protruding stones in the sewage pool, using the force to speed forward.

At the same time, his consciousness also spread to the giant spider.

boom!
The Primarch's consciousness collided with two blood-red spiderweb gates, causing the webs to vibrate violently.

His black eyes narrowed. The raft spider's mind was so tough, which was beyond his expectation considering that they had not specially tempered their will.

The Primarch's eyes turned, and he focused his consciousness on a raft spider. The gathered psychic energy turned into thousands of black mind torches, smashing into the spider web gate.

At the same time, he continued to move and rushed towards the other raft spider.

Ningluo took three big steps and leaped up, avoiding the slash of poisonous fangs.

Through "subspace insight", he captured the hard shell of the raft spider, and there was a narrow gap at the connection of the abdomen.

The Primarch's body spun rapidly in the air, avoiding the falling spider legs.

Nimrod leaped to the center of the abdomen, pushed the chainsaw sword hard into the raft spider's abdomen, and then pressed the rune on the hilt.

The Primarch's powerful strength continued to push the chainsaw sword forward, and the raft spider's body was shredded by the roaring and spinning blade.

The chainsaw sword's route of advancement avoided each silk gland, which was the result of Nimrod's clever control.

When the Shadows of Order arrived at the sewage pool, they saw a chainsaw sword emerging from behind a huge creature larger than a Titan.

At the same time, another giant creature that was killed by a psychic attack also fell heavily into the sewage lake.

Amidst the splashing sewage, Nimrod caught the falling chainsaw sword, which landed on the hard shell of the raft spider. He closed the rune and casually threw it in front of a shadow of order.

"Go search nearby."

The Shadows of Order recovered from the shocking scene and dispersed to search.

Nimrod thought to himself as he dragged the huge raft spider into the "Land of Disorder".

[Other materials cannot be confirmed, but the silk gland of the giant spider should be the main material for the "Witch" path sequence 6 "Pleasure Witch".

After all, starting from this sequence, the witch can create spider silk.

But the embarrassing thing is that I haven’t even gathered all the ingredients for the Sequence 8 “Instigator” potion yet.

The other potion ingredients are there, but the Catachan lobotomy is missing.]
In Nimrod's memory, Necromunda's lower nest in the future will be spread throughout the Catachan lobe, but Necromunda has just been conquered and Catachan has not yet been discovered by the expeditionary fleet, so the lobe will naturally not be brought here.

[We can only wait for the prophecy dice to fully charge, and then use the established connection to divination the star map leading to Catachan.

If successful, I can send a fleet to occupy the planet.

Well, Catachan is a very suitable recruiting world for the 7th Chapter, which is mainly composed of "Hunters".]
Ning Lu's eyes lit up, and he suddenly had an idea.

[Divining the special worlds he knew, he arranged suitable recruiting worlds for each chapter, and let them recruit soldiers from those worlds that were suitable for the chapter's special culture.

Vostroya is mainly used as the main recruiting ground for the 11th Chapter, which is mainly composed of "lawyers".]
The key, of course, was the prophetic dice, so after the Primarch brought the two raft spider corpses to the "Kingdom of Disorder", he went straight to the third level of real space to check the situation of the prophetic dice.
