My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

"It's coming! The life force has reached its peak! It's about to emerge!"

Yin Xue became excited as he watched the little spider about to hatch.

Lin Mo also temporarily put aside his thoughts on the domain, carefully untied the burden from his back, and placed it on a relatively flat piece of ground in front of him.

He could sense that the little life inside the bundle, with whom he had a soul contract, was eager to come into this world.

Click...click!

A clear cracking sound rang out, and a distinct crack appeared on the dark green eggshell of the Dark Ink Spider King.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread like a spider web.

A fragment of the eggshell was pushed open from the inside and fell out.

A small, fluffy, pink and white paw trembled as it emerged from the wound.

I tentatively touched the edge of the eggshell.

The color... made Lin Mo and Yin Xue pause for a moment.

They've all seen dark ink spiders before; shouldn't they be deep black or dark purple?

What's going on with this pink and white color scheme?

Soon, more eggshells were pushed open.

A little creature struggled to crawl out of the egg.

It is about the size of two adult fists, with a round and plump body.

Its entire body is covered with soft, fine short down.

The base color is a delicate pink, like newly blossoming cherry blossoms, with irregular white patches scattered across it.

Eight eyes, like sparkling obsidian, darted around, revealing the innocent curiosity of a newborn.

Its eight legs are chubby, and it moves rather clumsily.

It showed absolutely no sign of the ferocity one would expect from a dark ink spider.

On the contrary... it's kind of endearing, even cute?

The little guy shook off the slime on its body, turned its little head, and its eight obsidian eyes quickly locked onto Lin Mo.

The sense of closeness and dependence conveyed by the soul contract made it hesitate without the slightest hesitation.

She opened her legs and pounced into Lin Mo's arms.

After snuggling into Lin Mo's arms, the little guy rubbed his head against Lin Mo's chest.

Lin Mo held her speechlessly, unsure of what to do next.

Yin Xue circled the little guy twice, his blood-red eyes filled with surprise, then nodded as if he understood.

"It looks like it mutated when it absorbed those random essences. But thinking about it, it makes sense; with so many different beast king essences, it would be strange if it didn't mutate. This quality... is quite unique, but I wonder how strong it is in combat."

Lin Mo smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, I don't need her to fight."

After saying that, Lin Mo stretched out his index finger and gently touched the little spider's pinkish-white head.

"Hiss~"

The little spider immediately let out a pleasant hiss and nuzzled Lin Mo's fingers with its head.

All eight eyes were curved into crescent shapes.

The soul contract conveys a pure sense of attachment.

Feeling this pure connection, Lin Mo's expression softened considerably, which had been otherwise expressionless.

He seemed to remember something, and with a flick of his finger, he took out several relatively mild essences from his spatial ring and placed them in front of the little spider.

The little spider's obsidian-like eyes immediately lit up.

It moved closer, pawed at the essence with its front legs, and then opened its mouth, which was completely inconsistent with its cute appearance, and covered with fine, crystalline serrations.

"Click-clack".

Like eating cookies, easily bite and swallow those few essential pieces.

Yin Xue clicked her tongue in amazement and flew over to the little one, patting her head.

"These are all Beast King essences of level 50 and above. You're getting to eat them right after you're born. I didn't even get this kind of treatment back in my day."

After finishing his meal, the little guy even let out a satisfied burp.

The pinkish-white down on its body seemed to be a little shinier.

The aura also solidified almost imperceptibly.

"Hmm, you have a good appetite."

Lin Mo commented, then patted its head.

The little spider squinted its eyes in enjoyment.

However, Lin Mo's expression quickly turned serious again as he looked up at the still-stable silver cage.

The hatching of the baby spiders is a joyous occasion, but the current predicament is not yet over.

Seemingly sensing a hint of annoyance in Lin Mo's heart, the little spider, who was being affectionate, stopped.

She raised her head and looked at Lin Mo.

Following his gaze, she looked at the silver cage that separated her from Lin Mo, Yin Xue, and the outside world.

It tilted its round head, its obsidian eyes filled with curiosity.

Then, it left Lin Mo's hand and wobbled its way toward the nearest boundary of the domain.

"Little guy?"

Yin Xue looked at it with some confusion.

The little spider came to the light screen, stretched out a pinkish-white foreleg, and tentatively tapped the light screen.

Boom, boom.

The sound was slight, and the light screen remained completely still, with only a slight ripple appearing at the point of impact.

The little spider retracted its legs, its eight eyes intently fixed on the spot it had just struck, as if studying it carefully.

A few seconds later, it seemed to have made a judgment.

It opened its mouth again, and this time, a faint aura appeared between the opening and closing of its mouthparts.

It aimed at the spot on the light screen it had just struck and took a bite!

There was no energy explosion, no ear-piercing sound.

There was only one clear, teeth-grinding sound—snap!

It was like the hardest biscuit being bitten into, or like a crack being shattered in a specially made alloy glass.

The barrier above the cage, which Lin Mo couldn't break through even with his full-force strikes, was actually bitten open by this seemingly harmless pink and white spider!

At the edge of the gap, silver light patterns flickered and twisted wildly, attempting to repair it.

But a force clings to the breach, stubbornly hindering the repair process.

"this……?!"

Even Lin Mo's eyes flashed with a clear look of surprise.

Yin Xue darted to the little spider's side in a flash.

His blood-red eyes widened in shock, the playfulness and curiosity on his face completely replaced by astonishment.

"It...it bit off?! How is that possible?!"

She turned sharply to the little spider, her voice urgent and incredulous.

"Little guy! Quick, let me see your current attribute panel! Focus your mind and show it to me!"

The little spider was a bit confused by Yin Xue's excited expression.

It looked up at Yin Xue, then turned to look at Lin Mo.

After receiving a slight nod from Lin Mo, it quieted down as if it understood.

Close your eyes and concentrate.

hum...

Before long, a semi-transparent pale blue light screen slowly unfolded in front of Lin Mo and Yin Xue:

[Race: Dark Ink Spider (Mutant Beast King)]

[Status: Infancy]

[Level: 1]

【Body: 0】

[Agility: 0]

【Spirit: 0】

[Talent Ability: Devouring King (Unique)]

【Devouring King (Unique)】: Can devour, analyze, and decompose the vast majority of matter in the world.

This includes, but is not limited to, physical matter, energy barriers, rule-based creations, skill effects, and soul fragments.

Upon successful absorption, one permanently gains some of its characteristics, attribute bonuses, skills, etc.

Yin Xue was completely stunned by the brief yet almost heaven-defying description on the screen.

She hovered in the air, her small mouth slightly open, unable to speak for a long time.

The shock in his bloodshot eyes was almost overflowing.

Several seconds passed before she gasped sharply, looked at Lin Mo, and her voice trembled with disbelief:

"Devour... Devouring King?! Lin Mo! What... what kind of monster did you hatch?!"
