Monster Life Starting from Picking Up Materials Author: I Finally Became the Evil God

When you see a male Rathalos flying across the sky, you cannot conclude that it is a male Rathalos, because it is possible that before you see it, it is a rare Silver Rathalos.

When you suspect it was a Silver Rathalos before, it could have been a Spinosaurus even longer ago.

When you learn from other people that it was a Spinosaurus long ago, you still cannot conclude that it is a Spinosaurus, because it is possible that it was a Nergigantes before others saw it.

You can almost be sure that it is a flying dragon, but you still cannot assert that it is a flying dragon, because underground where you can't see it, it may be an old mountain dragon.

So what is it?

In the beginning, it was a hairy spider.

Chapter 1: Starting with the Hairy Spider

Ancient Tree Forest, a quiet yet bustling place.

The idle male fire dragon swooped down to the ground, and its high-pitched roar brought warm air that tore off large pieces of leaves, turning the tranquility in the forest into noise, in order to vent its excessive energy.

The thief dragons walking in the woods raised their upper bodies vigilantly, while the fire dragon had already disappeared.

The protagonist here is not the male fire dragon or the thief dragon, but the huge hairy spider on the treetop, waving its claws angrily towards the sky.

Three days have passed since Ji Jie traveled here. He did not transform into a powerful monster, nor into a human, but into a neglected hairy spider, at least on the surface.

But he really enjoyed his life as a hairy spider. Without any of the pressures of being a human, his four pairs of eyes and low perspective added a lot of fantastic colors to this already huge world, even though his eyesight was not very good.

Until today, the net he used to catch birds was attacked by the Air Force, and the birds that were not eaten cleanly in the net fell to the ground and were swallowed by the thief dragon.

That's right, the tattered spider web not far in front of him was used to catch birds, and the spider itself was almost as big as two people's heads.

I remember that there is a spider called the Ghostly Spider in the new Monster Hunter Rise. Hunters can use it and the silk it spits to pull monsters against the mountain wall. Compared with the Ghostly Spider filled with gameplay factors, it is much more reasonable for a hairy spider in his new world to take birds as prey.

After venting his anger to the sky, Ji Jie jumped on the treetops. He wanted to find a place to weave a net, after all, all the birds nearby had been scared away.

Of course, if there is a better option halfway, he can give up the idea of catching birds.

For example, now, in the spider's field of vision constructed by pheromones and vision, a flowering dew grass is swaying slightly.

The spider silk was pulled out from the silk gland and was wrapped by his chelicerae. He instinctively wrapped it around the dew grass again and again, weaving a trap specifically for honey bugs.

The trap was complete, but not enough.

The spider's instinct taught him to use his claws to dig up the warm soil, and then drill into it. He used his front claws to gather up the grass leaves to cover the exposed half of his body. There was also spider silk on his front claws connected to his trap, which he used to determine whether the prey had taken the bait.

The hunter waits for his prey patiently, it won't be too long.

The sound of the wind brought the sound of insects flapping their wings, and the pheromones of the prey were captured by Jijie.

Then, the spider web vibrated violently.

Ji Jie swooped out and when he retracted into the cave, his front claws clamped the fat honey bug covered in the net.

After killing his prey, he began to eat.

He ate very quickly, and for him, whose main diet was birds, insects were just dessert.

Ji Jie had finished eating dessert and had no time to think about his next move before a slight vibration from the ground caused all the spider hairs on his body to stand up.

He knew that such vibrations must be caused by the movement of a large monster, and the pheromones that came allowed him to confirm who had come here.

Poisonous bird.

This time, he used thinking to cover up the hairy spider's instincts and recalled what the poisonous bird was like in his memory.

Judging its size by its body shape, it dares to challenge the golden lion; when eating plant fruits, it will also excrete undigested seeds, so the area where the poisonous bird moves is often where there are lush plants.

And the dew grass that I used as bait was also on its menu?

Thinking of this, Ji Jie immediately rushed out and climbed up a tree to avoid being trampled by the poisonous bird while eating.

He sensed the fantastic large bird dragon on the tree extending its tongue to wrap around the dew grass, sucking the sweet nectar and also rolling up the spider web on the dew grass.

His spider web—

Ji Jie raised his fangs to express his dissatisfaction, but soon calmed down. He tried hard to focus his spider eyes, trying to confirm what the thing that was separated from the poisonous bird was.

He needs it.

It shouldn't be feces, right?

He exercised his patience and waited for the poisonous bird to leave before approaching.

They were feathers. After confirming this, he moved closer quickly, and his front claws touched the feathers of the poisonous bird.

The feathers of the poisonous bird dissipated when he touched them, and Ji Jie imagined the partial scene that should have appeared in the game of his previous life.

Poisonous bird, feathers, P15 points.

But in fact, there was no investigation report appearing in his retina, nor was there any system pop-up window.

Ji Jie just swayed his body back to the tree and began to track the poisonous bird among the treetops, leaving the treetops from time to time to collect the traces left by the poisonous bird.

Some tiny groups of insects will also stay on the traces of the poisonous bird, emitting a faint green light.

These are guide insects, they will cling to the traces left by large monsters and are used by hunters as props to capture monster ecology, but they have no appeal to him because they are too small.

Ji Jie returned to the tree and stopped moving forward. He smelled danger.

The hairy spider's small size can help it avoid many troubles from large monsters, but it is not without natural enemies.

His natural enemies are the flocks of jungle Archaeopteryx in the trees ahead. No matter how fast he spits out spider webs, it is difficult to effectively restrain them, and his fangs cannot find a place to bite between the feathers, scales and cuticle. If he is encountered by them, he will probably be eaten.

Ji Jie slowly suppressed the fear in Mao Zhu's bones and slowly retreated.

He didn't make any sound, but the Archaeopteryx, with its head held high, still turned its head towards this side.

He was found.

The hairy spider used its front claws to leap backwards, and while in the air, its silk glands shot out spider silk that hit the tree trunk. Its body flew backwards, instantly creating a greater distance between it and the Archaeopteryx.

The dense spider hairs on its hind claws tore through the tough spider silk, allowing him to repeat his previous operation, but the Archaeopteryx reacted and flapped its degenerate wings to assist in jumping, trying to catch up with the large hairy spider that looked extremely nutritious.

Don't panic, don't stop.

Reason was warning Ji Jie, but his eight eyes could only see forward and could not confirm the situation behind him, so the distance he could move was quite unstable, depending entirely on the distance between him and the trees directly behind him.

Unfortunately, this time the displacement was not so effective, and he was put in a dead corner that was not very dead.

Since he couldn't increase the horizontal distance, he cut the spider silk and let himself fall to try to increase the vertical distance.

But the Archaeopteryx in the front also flapped its wings, and had no intention of stopping on the treetop to chase, but glided towards Jijie.

The hairy spider's eight spider eyes locked onto the increasingly clear Archaeopteryx. He felt the pressure from his ecological niche. The air was condensing, and the world seemed to have nervously pressed the pause button in this moment.

Of course, the one who was helpless was only the hairy spider, not Ji Jie, who had the intelligence of a hairless naked ape in the hairy spider's body.

But before Ji Jie could show his means of turning the tide, the Archaeopteryx flapped its wings in the air, destroying the stability of its gliding and breaking the sense of solidity in the desperate situation.

The Archaeopteryx, which can be called a living fossil even in this world, fell directly back to the ground, turned around, flapped its wings, climbed up a tree, and ran away with the other Archaeopteryx in one go.

The culprit that caused the natural enemy to flee, another strong pheromone brought Ji Jie back to his senses in surprise. He jumped back to the tree in two jumps, hiding among the leaves and peeking.

That was a group of thief dragons rushing forward, seemingly the same group he saw in the morning?

Ji Jie had no interest in the thieves. Instead, he planned to avoid the Archaeopteryx and found the ground under a dense forest. He dug a hidden cave under the roots of a tree and moved a few rocks to use as a shelter for the rest of the day.

After that, he returned to the tree and wove a large net in the forest. While on guard, he also made plans for midnight snacks and breakfast the next day.

A hairy spider with spider silk hanging from its tail hung down from the treetop, and returned to its nest with spider silk wrapped around its chelicerae, and began to take a nap with its eyes open.

After the spider eyes lost their luster, what they saw was a world filled with blocks. The patterns on the blocks were the totems of monsters that Ji Jie was familiar with.

The black shadow on a square has disappeared, and a touch of color has appeared on the gray totem of the poisonous bird, but it has not completely filled it.

But in another direction, the thief dragon's totem has full colors.

Ji Jie rubbed his front claws. This was his way of turning the tide in adversity.

Apart from the thief dragon, there is another totem on the wall that lights up the most.

Those were some birds and insects that he had preyed on, and his initial hairy spider form was also on them. This spider was named Scarabengella.

Ji Jie was groping in his dream, and with a slight movement of his mind, the totem block of the honey bug separated from the wall and floated in front of him.

The hairy spider's body was compressed and began to twist and deform, and finally it flapped its wings, revealing the appearance of the honey bug he had caught today.

The instincts of the honey bee, the "knowledge engraved in DNA" instantly flooded into his mind, and were then suppressed by the human thinking pattern.

Honey·Season·Insect flapped its wings and began to fly in its dream.

After a little experience, the honey bug's totem block flew back to the wall, and the thief dragon's totem block appeared in front of it.

The thief dragon is a common predator in the ancient tree forest. He feasted on a rotten thief dragon corpse all day yesterday and gained the ability to transform into a thief dragon.

It’s also good to make some adaptation preparations in advance.

The honey bug's body began to swell while twisting and deforming. Sharp spines pierced its back, and golden and dark green colors surged out. Its sharp vertical pupils began to adjust their focus.

The thief Jijie Long shook his head vigorously. The physiological instincts of a thief dragon far exceeded those of the honey bug, which made him dazed for a moment.

The haziness of the dream seemed to clear up considerably. The Raptorosaur's eyesight was clearly much better than that of the surrounding creatures. Thinking back to the Archaeopteryx I had encountered earlier, what if a hairy spider, which was its food, suddenly transformed into a Raptorosaur several times its size right in front of it...

With the offense and defense switched, shouldn't Arc'teryx also feel the world solidify?

Ji Jie turned his head and looked at his new form hard. The aesthetic taste of the thief dragons told him that he was obviously handsome among the thief dragons.

After experiencing jumping and running, the body of the thief dragon shrank rapidly like a punctured balloon, and its eight claws stretched out, and Ji Jie turned into a scary hairy spider again.

The light in the eight spider eyes flickered to adapt to the spider's vision. There was no sign that the cave had been expanded. Everything that had happened before seemed like a dream.

But he knew very well that it was not a dream. If he wanted to become a more powerful monster, he had to rely on eating and collecting traces. These were what he had figured out in the previous three days.

Chapter 2: The Great Thief Dragon

The next day, in the shade of the woods, a black crow with a red crown on its head was wrapped in a net that was a little tattered for various reasons.

Hatebird.

Ji Jie climbed up the spider silk onto his web and saw his hate bird opened its beak and made an irritating cry in order to intimidate him.

But he remained unmoved and approached the Hate Bird. He circled behind it and then attacked it, raising his open fangs to lift up its shiny feathers and piercing its body.

The hatebird struggled violently, the spider silk was tightening, but the spider legs holding its body were also exerting force.

The strength of the struggle gradually weakened, and life quietly faded away from the body of the Hate Bird.

Ji Jie started eating today's breakfast, hoping that he would not be disturbed during the meal.

However, the opposite happened. The sudden sense of crisis made the spider hairs all over his body rise up in rebellion against the hunger in his stomach.

The spider web was vibrating violently, with an amplitude so terrifying that he had never encountered before in his journey through time, and it was growing even stronger. The omen dragonfly in the sky also began to fly around with its tail turning red.

Something big is coming.

Ji Jie jumped onto a tree nearby. If he went back to his nest on the ground, he would probably be trampled to death. Before leaving, he did not forget to take away his breakfast.

I can't even eat in peace every day.

He remembered that the safest meal he had ever eaten was the corpse of the thief dragon. The thief dragon had evolved itself to a level that was out of the menu of most monsters, and no one would even give it a second glance.

"boom!"

There was a series of explosions, the sound of trees being crushed.

The green in Ji Jie's eyes was quickly filled with yellow. He flew in the air with the debris of the trees, and finally landed in the yellow "grass".

The ground was still shaking. Ji Jie stuck his head out. The breakfast in his mouth had long disappeared, but that was no longer the point. He began to look around at his surroundings.

This yellow "land" seems to be made of scales? And these "grasses" do not seem to have any plant characteristics.

This thought was fleeting, and Ji Jie gave up deceiving himself. He was sure that he was on a huge monster.

The yellow scales and mane make it a Titanosaurus for sure.

As a social carnivore, there must be an extremely large Raptorosaur as the leader in a Raptorosaur population, which is also called the Mega Raptorosaur.

But how big is this giant thief dragon?

Ten meters? Fifteen meters? It seemed even longer than that.

Ji Jie looked around, and at the same time, he was setting a net on the running giant thief dragon. He estimated that this guy was about twenty meters long, and it was definitely the legendary battle-hardened giant thief dragon.
