Monster Hunter, start with a wife!

Watching the six figures walk away into the other cave, Cheng Zhuo casually replied:

"It's not a big problem."

He had just glanced at the information of the others.

The strongest one on the opposing side has only D-level potential and a mecha strength of less than 30, which is not even as strong as the giant corpse he killed in the Hyperdimensional Ruins.

They can only bully Anno and the others because they are old thugs at level 0.

Moreover, the revelation of this mortal realm is quite simple:

"You have entered the Survival Ruins: Frost Cavern"

"Ruins Exploration Progress: 75.1%"

Keyword: Survival

"Advancement Quest: Kill the Frost Stone Ape"

All you need to do is find that Frost Stone Ape.

It's definitely not going to work to expect Anno and the others to give directions, since they've never left the area too far from the boundary gate.

Cheng Zhuo took out the Thunder Scepter he had just obtained.

With a slight movement of its source energy, the jar was summoned from its source card.

"Meow~"

As soon as the chubby little boy appeared, he lazily stretched out in a cat-like crawl, his round body exuding an adorable clumsiness.

Anno couldn't resist and rushed forward to hug it tightly.

Reach out and rub its belly a few times:

"Oh, little jar, it's been so long!"

The jar, its round, amber eyes narrowed as it glanced at Cheng Zhuo, its little head full of question marks:

"Is this your wife? If not, I'm going to scratch her! (╬▔皿▔)"

It's been feeling down lately.

Every time it comes out, people hug and pet it, and even rub its belly.

Not only did she rub her stomach, but she also said her stomach was almost touching the ground.

Did you think it couldn't understand?

Isn't this just a roundabout way of saying it's fat?

Cheng Zhu suppressed a laugh, gave Guan Guan a "don't mess around" look, and then turned his gaze to the cave wall not far away.

"Shh—shh—"

A series of messy scraping sounds came from the cave ceiling and the cracks in the rock walls, and shards of ice fell down in a flurry.

"They're here!"

Anno quickly stood up, his voice becoming a few decibels lower.

With a light leap, she landed on a raised stone platform, held the alloy longbow upright beside her, and let the pale blue source energy flow slowly along the bowstring, quickly condensing into a glowing arrow.

"Pang Wei, Li Dexuan, maintain formation!"

"OK!" Pang Wei grinned, revealing a hint of ferocity.

Li Dexuan also leaped forward, his heavy shield slamming into the ground with a thud.

Anuo's gaze fell on Wei Qingfeng, her tone carrying a hint of caution:

"Wei Qingfeng, your fireballs are the bane of those pupil worms. Don't be afraid, and don't be greedy for damage output. Be careful to control your consumption."

"Okay, okay!"

Wei Qingfeng took a deep breath to suppress his nervousness, and two orange-red flames quickly ignited in his palms.

Finally, Anuo waved to Fang Han behind her:

"Sister Fang, keep an eye on the monsters they've entangled with. Their abdomens are their weak points. Hit them once and then retreat. Don't linger in the fight."

Fang Han nodded slightly and took out a dagger that gleamed with a blue light.

His figure blurred!

It had entered a state of near invisibility.

Only a faint trace of airflow remained, silently moving towards the shadows of the rock wall.

"Cheng Zhuo, feel free to do as you please," Anuo said in a gentler tone, offering her advice.

"Be careful not to get touched by their self-destructing pupil insects, as they are corrosive."

"Um."

Cheng Zhuo nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the rock wall.

A group of spiders, each about half a person's height, were scurrying along the stone wall, their bodies covered in fine ice patterns, their abdomens covered in countless pupils, staring intently at the group.

"Meow?"

Seeing everyone's serious demeanor, Guanguan tilted its round head and looked at Cheng Zhuo with a puzzled expression:

"Are they so nervous because of these big bugs? Is the cat going to come on?"

Cheng Zhuo stared at the large spider that had crawled down the stone wall:

【Thousand-Eyed Spider - Frost】

[Realm: 0st Order Derivative]

[Biophysical Strength: 18.5]

[Talent - Pupil Removal for Soldiers: Allows the user to remove their own pupil worm eyeballs and launch a self-destructing eyeball attack]

[Description: This is a bizarre spider that lives in extremely cold regions. It has a penchant for swallowing human eyes. Be careful of the eyeballs it throws out, as they are highly corrosive when they burst.]

It looks quite intimidating, a spider that's about half a person's height, but it doesn't seem very strong.

Cheng Zhuo immediately lost interest:

"Canned goods, let's finish this quickly!"

At a command.

The jar's amber-colored round eyes narrowed into vertical pupils in an instant, its round body suddenly tensed, and it rushed out with a "whoosh".

Like a fluffy bomb brimming with power.

The fleshy pads kicked out tiny cracks on the ice and rock, and in an instant, they pounced in front of the Thousand-Eyed Spider in the front row.

Cheng Zhuo was not idle either.

With a flick of his finger, he took out the Silver Knight Gravity Body card.

The source energy flowed into the card through his fingertips, and he tossed it forward gently.

A blinding flash of pale blue light appeared!

Metal components clicked and snapped together in the gleam, the parts assembling rapidly as if they were alive—

The head, shoulder armor, torso, and legs are formed in sequence.

In just three seconds, a dark silver mech, more than three meters tall, crashed to the ground, its heavy foot slamming into the ice, causing the surrounding ice to shatter and crackle.

Cheng Zhuo leaped and flipped into the cockpit.

With a flick of the robotic arm, the epic spear Lone Star materialized instantly.

The spear tip gleamed like snow, and the dark patterns on the shaft slowly lit up as the source energy was injected, like a lurking purple-scaled dragon.

Cheng Zhuo piloted the mecha, slamming his left leg into the ground!

"Click—"

The ice and rock instantly cracked open with spiderweb-like patterns, and the silver knight charged out like an arrow, his spear sweeping across the air with a sharp whooshing sound!

"Wow, Cheng-ge still has that gravity object! That's so cool!"

Wei Qingfeng gasped in shock.

The flames in his hands went out.

The others also turned their attention back, completely captivated by the cool gravity object.

Cheng Zhuo did not use the heavy weapons on the gravity body. To deal with this level of alien beast, using source energy weapons might not be worth the cost.

He held his spear horizontally, swinging it with wide, sweeping movements!

"Sizzle—"

A giant spider on the stone wall was instantly split in two as if made of paper.

The can was even faster, leaping and bounding, with a faint blue arc of electricity occasionally flashing across its claws—

That's the amplification skill "Thunder Punishment" brought by the Thunder Scepter.

If anyone is touched by the Thousand-Eyed Spider's claws, their body will be instantly pierced by electric current, leaving them paralyzed on the ground convulsing until they become still.

Its hunting speed was so fast that even Cheng Zhuo couldn't help but glance at it a couple more times.

He specifically brought up the control panel of the jar.

Apart from the increase in the newly added "Thunder Punishment", other data did not change much.

The pace of growth remains alarmingly slow.

Cheng Zhuo had previously searched through all the information on summoned beast training and knew that when a summoner advances in rank, the summoned beast will advance in rank simultaneously.

However, evolution during the growth period requires the accumulation of animal food and source cores.

Last time in the Endless Wasteland, he slaughtered nearly half of the alien beasts and fed half of their source cores to Guanguan, but its growth rate only increased by 0.1%.

At this rate, it'll be ages before it grows to cub stage.

However, Cheng Zhuo noticed that,

Every bit of growth in the jar was remarkably strong.

This 0.1% progress has brought about a remarkable improvement, with the jar's biological strength increasing by about 50 points, now reaching level 115.6.

It should be noted that the biological strength of Tier 1 beasts is generally between level 50 and 150, and Guanguan has already surpassed most of the Tier 1 beings.

If it were to also be in "Dragon Form" mode, its physical strength alone would be unmatched in the first tier.

There were also some changes that Cheng Zhuo was unaware of.

For example, its source kernel.

The system shows that the advancement level is still Tier 1.

However, he could vaguely sense that its source core strength far exceeded that of ordinary first-tier beast pets, as if it contained some kind of special storage ability.

It seems that the effects of the system enhancement and the mythical breathing meditation card are slowly fermenting within it.

As the man and cat charged out, the overwhelming slaughter left Anno and the others completely stunned.

Are Tier 1 beast pets really that strong?

Where did the rumor that low-level summoners are all weaklings come from?

"You guys handle the source core, Guanguan and I will go find the BOSS."

It wasn't until Cheng Zhuo's mechanical voice came that they realized that the Thousand-Eyed Spiders in the cave were almost all dead or wounded...

……

On the other side, not far away, is an empty stone cave.

Lei Hu blasted away the last wave of pupil insects fired by the Thousand-Eyed Spider Lord with a shockwave, a ferocious smile appearing on his face:

"You little bastard, you think you can shoot a lot? Shoot some more!"

After saying that, he picked up an iron hammer.

He leaped up in anger!

The lord before them was over two meters tall, its spider legs covered in a shell like ice armor, and it was one of their targets.

"Bang—"

His hammer hadn't even landed on the Thousand-Eyed Spider Lord yet.

Then a gray shadow flashed by.

next second.

The Thousand-Eyed Spider BOSS flew backward like a kite with a broken string, and stuck to the cave wall with a "smack". Its spider legs twitched twice and then it went still.

Only a pool of dark green liquid remained, flowing down the rock face.

"Holy crap, what just whizzed by?!"
