That thing was soon to move far away, but the submarine had been wrecked, and they had no way to track it.
Wei Tianyang felt an agitation within, he wanted that horse... he couldn’t clearly define this agitation... if he had to compare it to sothing, it would probably be hunger? Or perhaps... the urge to mate?
He bulged his eyes, turned around awkwardly, feeling his entire body tremble, and then, he actually took steps out of the bridge and made his way to the side of the ship.
"Wei?" Spencer exclaid in surprise.
Wei Tianyang didn’t hear him, he only felt the horse drawing him in, he imdiately escaped into objective reality, leaping from the ship without hesitation.
Suspended over 3000 ters high, and with the inky seabed below, he seed as tiny as a grain of rice, plumting rapidly.
It wasn’t until he was about to hit the bottom that Wei Tianyang transford into a moth, fluttered his wings a few tis, and thudded onto the ground.
When his feet touched the slowly pulsating seabed, he ca back to his senses, panting heavily, clutching his chest, gazing around at the sights.
This was a seabed without water, appearing like a black and broad expanse of wilderness, the continental shelf and seabed mountain ranges in the distance looked like mountain peaks far off on the horizon.
He looked up; the Nantakai Special looked as tiny as a cockroach, hovering above, he then turned his head back and saw the wreckage of the subrsible a few dozen ters away, its cabins smashed open.
And a few dozen ters behind the subrsible was that huge spider, carrying half a horse on its back.
Wei Tianyang couldn’t say whether he was interested in the horse or the spider, but he had realized that in this objective reality, the spider was still moving... proving it was also one of the Heavenly Falling Objects.
And it was alive.
Wei Tianyang hesitated for a mont, but his internal restlessness and curiosity, defeated his reason. He transford into a moth, flapped his wings, and in an instant flew out dozens of ters, fluttered twice, and zipped above the heads of the spider and the horse.
From above, if the horse had been whole, it would’ve been roughly the sa size as the moth, it looked as though it had been sliced in half at the waist, its wound at the midsection forming a cavity, within which the spider had nested its body.
To be exact, the spider’s body wasn’t large, probably about the size of the head of the moth, but its eight long legs were ridiculously long, Wei Tianyang roughly estimated that if stretched out, they would be as long as a 28-story building.
This was his first encounter with a living Heavenly Falling Object, he had no experience and had no idea how to react.
Thus, Wei Tianyang instinctively landed in front of the spider.
He didn’t revert to human form, as that would’ve made him appear far too insignificant.
The spider halted, and the horse’s head twitched a little, then lowered. Wei Tianyang could tell the horse was dead, it had been dragged out of the drilling platform by this giant spider...
Why though...?
At this mont, an inexplicable thought ford in his mind.
"Want to eat, huh? You want to eat too, right?"
This experience was exceedingly strange, Wei Tianyang was certain this wasn’t his own thought, but it had indeed co from his own mind...
He looked again at the spider; when he didn’t know, the spider had actually turned around, partly revealing its belly bristling with eyes from the cavity of the horse, staring at the moth that Wei Tianyang had turned into.
He finally realized in shock that the spider was actually speaking to him!
"You want to eat too, huh? But I can’t give it to you."
In his mind, a new thought erged. However, Wei Tianyang didn’t know how to communicate with the spider.
He wanted to ask where it ca from and what the nature of subjective reality was? But he didn’t know how to start the conversation, nor if his thoughts could even reach the spider.
"You can’t have it to eat... it’s mine... you’re mine too..."
The spider sent a new thought, and Wei Tianyang’s heart tightened. Did the spider an to eat him too?
Before he could react, Wei Tianyang felt a tremor on the ground, and the next second, thousands of black spikes suddenly shot up from the dark seabed! These sharp spikes rose for hundreds of ters, turning the entire sea floor into a sea of spikes.
His insect body was impaled, his abdon punctured and oozing a yellow-green liquid, several holes poked through his wings, and his insect body trapped between the spikes.
The pain that drilled into his bones caused Wei Tianyang’s brain to numb. After impaling him, the spikes didn’t retract underground but instead turned into epheral shadows and vanished into thin air.
Wei Tianyang fell to the ground, looking very pitiful—as if a giant moth had been swatted down by a human hand. Its abdon was deflated, its juices leaking all over the ground, with multiple abrasions across its body, one eye blinded, and wings tattered like rags.
The spider scuttled over quickly, shedding the horse’s body from its back. Its hind body was actually comprised of more than a dozen tentacles with small, spiky suckers.
The spider had used these to hook onto the horse’s hollowed body firmly, absorbing its blood and flesh.
But this kind of feeding through a mouthpart was too slow. Days had passed, and most of the horse was left, with hardly any signs of having been eaten.
The spider’s two long legs pinned down Wei Tianyang’s wings on the seabed. At the sa ti, it flipped its body over, extending those tentacles toward his insect abdon.
Wei Tianyang sneered, and his form suddenly shifted.
Instantly, he transford from a small moth into a black giant hundreds of ters tall.
"Fuck you..." he swore silently. With one hand, he grabbed the spider and squeezed it to death. Green juices burst from between his fingers, and the spider’s eight legs stretched upright.
Following that, the spider slowly disintegrated into nothingness in Wei Tianyang’s hand.
Having disposed of the spider, Wei Tianyang then reached for the horse and pulled it toward himself with an instinctual movent, sohow rging the animal into his own body.
As his inner desires were quenched, Wei Tianyang felt two powers coursing and clashing inside him—a truly exhilarating sensation similar to the contentnt of a full stomach, or the perfect release of body and mind after coupling with a woman.
The black giant disappeared, and Wei Tianyang knelt on one knee on the ground. He saw his right hand shine brighter than before; now the entire hand had turned black, and the patterns on his arm were becoming denser. He suspected that it wouldn’t be long before the entire right arm turned completely black.
He tried to harness the two new powers within his body. With his eyes wide open and a stomp of his left foot, a series of dense, black spikes sprang up from the earth in the shape of a fan, covering several kiloters in front of him. The spikes, tens of ters tall, erged from the ground and then turned into illusions, gradually disappearing.
It was what the spider had used... Not too powerful, but a supplent nonetheless. Wei Tianyang suspected that in the United Council, this ability might only be classified as a Triangular Shape.
Next, he prepared to test out the horse’s powers, but then he suddenly rembered Spencer’s words...
His physical condition wasn’t up to the task, and at such a fast speed... he probably couldn’t handle it yet!
