430 Arachnoid Anarchy 2 (1/2)
Zero had to say, the one thing unbearable about this strategy was the feeling of hairy legs crawling all over him. Zero didn't absorb all the spiders in one go. He did it slowly so that the spiders wouldn't notice that their siblings were disappearing as he 'struggled' in their captivity. The webs that they produced to wrap him in were also slowly absorbed into his void inventory.
All in all, Zero was enjoying the experience with the exception of crawling legs all over him. If one spot got too ticklish, Zero would simply make the spider disappear into his inventory. While the spider did their task and Wii did her job, Zero tasked Mii to expand the search of the dungeon and level up the appraisal skill.
Currently, the appraisal skill was at an intermediate level that allows Zero to see their names, ranks, skills, title, stats, levels and species but he wondered if he could view more information with a higher level appraisal skill. What better chance was there than now? With plenty of spiders coming at him, Zero should have no problem levelling the skill up. He wanted to know more about the mother spider because he had a plan to make more money out of it since spiders didn't taste good.
”Is this enough silk?” Mii asked and Wii continued working. Lily also checked the inventory levels and adjusted the partition. The shared inventory with Truen was getting a little too small with the spider corpses piling.
”Should we transfer the spider corpses to the main inventory instead? The shared inventory with Truen and the inventory that Zoe manages are overflowing...” Lily reported.
Zero nodded. ”Let's put everything in the main inventory for now and save some for the mindscape pharmacy. I want to experiment with some of these spiders, they are rather interesting. How many spiders have we collected so far?”
Mii did a quick count. Currently, they had about five hundred spider minions but even with this number, the sider minions attacking Zero don't seem to end. Zero had been sitting in this web for at least five minutes and she wondered how Truen was coping.
”Zero, should we at least let Truen know that we're alright? It's been a little too long and I'm afraid he's panicking. The Great Gods and your teachers might know by now.”
The doctor felt a little bad so he gave in and unblocked the connection. In less than a second after unblocking the party call, Zero heard Bob's voice.
”Master! Are you alright? We lost connection all of a sudden. Why did you put a barrier here?”
Zero cringed at the yelling. truen was definitely aware of it but his friend was keeping very silent and that made him nervous. Was Truen angry at him for taking matters into his own hands?
