"Woo!"

The moment he woke up, Reilo recalled the scene where he fainted among the man-eating spiders, and immediately struggled with all his strength and whined.

The body is wrapped in a layer of spider silk.

Although these spider silks are not dense, their tenacity is amazing.

With a "hoo" sound, Reilo released a fireball, and the spider silk on its body burned out, and then it landed on the ground full of skeletons with a "bang". This was the cave that was covered with spider silk and piled with bones in the previously explored cave hall. Reilo also collected a human skeleton here as evidence.

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Reilo Looking towards the place where the coughing sound came, it was the painful sound of the archer.

At this moment, the archer's body was covered with strange lumps of all sizes, and something was crawling under the skin. The archer wanted to open his mouth to say something, but blood just kept flowing out from the corner of his mouth. His body instinctively spasmed, and his eyes were filled with tears of prayer.

After a short period of time when his hands and feet were cold, Reilo made a decision instantly and nodded.

The strong pressure bubbles easily penetrated into the archer's ulcerated skin.

A "bang" sound!

The strong pressure Bubble Technique exploded in the archer's body, instantly ending his life. However, with the explosion, an astonishing number of man-eating spiders the size of silver coins spattered and emerged from under the thick pimpled skin. Reilo did not dare to stay and left the cave.

The cave was just like when the group first entered, silent and without a single spider.

After a while.

Reilo suddenly stopped. Master Wenlai was leaning against the corner in front, his eyes were blank, and he was sitting blankly. He turned to look at Reilo who was running towards him, and deep in his eyes was a look of despair.

"Master!"

Reilo ran to Wenlai, panting and anxiously asking, "Why are you here? Why don't you run away?"

"You haven't noticed it yet?"

Wenlai showed a miserable smile and looked at Reilo as if he were a dead person. Tears slowly flowed down his old face from the corner of his eyes. He then made a "vomit" sound and vomited out some pieces of flesh and blood.

"It allows us to escape, but it is just accelerating the hatching of the eggs it left in our bodies. Because of the Magic Power in our bodies, these eggs are different from those in the soldiers, which is why we are not eaten. They are gradually hatched by the heat of our hearts, and they will become the new Human-faced Spider..."

Reilo heard this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but tremble.

Although he could not see inside like this old scholar, he was extremely familiar with anatomy and had noticed some differences in the heart through careful sensing.

My Energy Magnetic Field and vitality are gradually being absorbed by these foreign objects!

His face also showed a look of despair, and Reilo sat down on the ground with a "dong" sound.

"Ahem."

Wenlai coughed twice, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that the eggs in his body had begun to hatch. After wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he looked at Reilo and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, kid, I caused you trouble and made you die here."

"No..."

Lei Lu took a deep breath, still not losing his mind, thinking about all the ways to get out of the desperate situation.

"It's because I'm too eager for military glory, eager to get good assessment results, and eager to be recognized by my mentor."

"Do you also have an elder who doesn't like you?"

Wenlai kept coughing. At this moment, when he looked at Reilo, he was filled with sympathy and tenderness, as if he was looking at his stupid self when he was young.

"It wasn't until three years ago that I understood the truth. A true scholar does not study academics for the sake of gaining anything, but just because he likes it. When you ignore everything and devote yourself to it, you will find that along with unparalleled academic achievements, everything you once desired will naturally follow you."

Listening to Wenlai's words, Reilo was shocked and unbelievable.

At this moment, Reilo suddenly realized that the reason why instructor Gubo was no longer as indifferent to him as before was perhaps not because of his insights after the book burning incident, but because his pursuit of academic knowledge was no longer just to gain something, but gradually came from his inner desire for knowledge.

I no longer only pursue academic skills, powerful power, and assessment results, but I am eager to prove the truth of <Heliocentric Theory>, eager to use the macro truth of Cosmic Starry Sky to defeat those creatures that call themselves "gods", and eager to enable every scholar to live with due dignity in the future!

Just like Gubo is obsessed with Ancestral Clone research, which runs through his academic philosophy and life ideals. If what he pursues is just to gain recognition from someone, then he is not a scholar at all, but like Xiao Kang, just a noble who has learned magic skills!

After understanding this, Reilo's inner unwillingness became even stronger.

The desire to live is stronger than ever.

How could I die in a place like this!!

"No."

Reilo covered his heart and gritted his teeth.

"I want to live!"

Cough cough cough cough cough...

Along with Reilo's excitement, I felt a slight pain in my body, and the eggs near my heart began to hatch.

Wenlai was already weak, and he could clearly feel that those horrible little beings in his body were gnawing at him, and he was becoming their breeding ground, the first meal for them to start a new life.

The weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive.

Nature's law of survival is vividly reflected at this moment. As a rational scholar, when Reilo was dissecting countless specimens, he had nightmares that he might one day become a research specimen for other creatures.

"Child, let me tell you a secret... I just fought with Human-faced Spider, and I found that she has almost no vision, and she relies on her six pairs of compound eyes to sense vibrations in the air and the ground."

Wenlai smiled sadly.

Reilo closed his eyes.

The eggs are gradually hatching, and the heart vitality and body Energy Magnetic Field are sucking inside. Reilo can clearly feel the gradually increasing pain and weakness, so he must slow down his breathing as much as possible to let that moment come later, thinking about all the means he can use.

The closer to death, the more Reilo feels the light of wisdom in his soul, abandoning all distracting thoughts, and his thoughts become clearer than ever before.

Suddenly, Reilo thought of something.

With trembling palms, he took out a glass reagent from Space Box. Without saying a word, he took out the needle, sucked in all the reagent in the glass tube, and stabbed it into his heart!

"Yeah!"

Reilo made a painful groaning sound.

Wenlai, who had lost all his strength, even blinking his eyelids became a luxury, and said in a unclear voice, "What are you doing, cough, cough, cough."

Reilo tensed his body, panting constantly, and even spasmed in pain.

"This is a highly toxic substance that dissolves flesh and blood and is mixed with snake venom serum, Flesh-Eating Bacteria, and Ghost Corrosive Octopus venom. After an ordinary creature is poisoned, its flesh and blood texture will completely melt within a short period of time. Those spiderlings are sucking the blood from my heart. They will... ah!"

Reilo groaned in pain again.

"This dose has exceeded my tolerance limit."

In half a year, with the help of the repair power of that piece of Life Tree Leaves, Reilo has completed about one-third of the First Order stage of <Self-Control>. However, it only has a certain initial resistance to this corrosive poison, and the body's cell potential has been developed to about 50% to 60%.

The heart body was corroded by the poison and flowed to the whole body, including those foreign bodies that were greedily sucking Reilo's blood. Reilo rolled his eyes and twitched, and foam flowed from the corners of his mouth.

The intensely painful process lasted as long as years.

Energy Magnetic Field and the vitality of his heart. Due to the sucking of the parasitic spiderlings in his body, Reilo was almost as weak as ever. Just when Reilo felt that his body was about to collapse and his thoughts gradually began to scatter, suddenly, more than a dozen strange, full and wild vitality flowed from the heart to every corner of the limbs.

Even Energy Magnetic Field, which was dry before, is now being continuously replenished.

"Those spiderlings failed to eat me after all, but became my supplement."

Reilo regained consciousness and unconsciously let out some pleasant moans.

This life energy not only regenerated Reilo's flesh and bones that were about to melt into liquid, but also strengthened the development level of the "Self-Control" section First Order at an alarming rate, 61%, 62%, 63%...

It was not until the development of the Reilo <Self-Control> First Order section reached about one-half and the cell potential reached 70% that the resistance to corrosive poisons gradually stopped.

But even so, there is still a large amount of surplus life energy, constantly stimulating Reilo's body cells. This is not the development of potential, but the strengthening of the body's cell essence. Human-faced Spider's bloodthirsty, cruel, cold, and weird aura gradually blends into the essence of Reilo's flesh and blood cells.

Wenlai's eyes glowed with a glimmer of light.

"Child, there is a Grand Natural Sciences Academy Brocade Flower contribution badge in my Space Box. I beg you, just give it to Fei'er Town's little Tailong. Everything else I have is given to you..."

"Master Wenlai?"

Although Reilo regained a little strength, he was still unable to move freely. He could only watch Master Wenlai gradually stop breathing.

On Master Wenlai's gradually swollen belly, as it continued to squirm, a dozen blood-stained Human-faced Spider larvae burst out of the belly.

"Um, no, um..."

Reilo tried hard to move his body, but Reilo's body was too weak, and he kept making struggling and groaning sounds from deep in his throat, but it had no effect. He could only watch these larvae Human-faced Spider crawl towards him.

A strange scene appeared.

These bowl-sized Human-faced Spider larvae, after crawling next to Reilo, the baby's head was crying "Wow", and they slowly crawled into the depths of the cave without any intention of harming Reilo.
