Chapter 22: Discovering the Drop Spider!

"Hurry over there; there are Da Zhen Feng tracks here!"

"Ah! If we fail to catch two Poison-type Little Spirits, we won't be able to report back properly!"

From afar, Lin Mo heard the two people's conversation.

From their talk, it was clear they intended to capture Poison-type Little Spirits.

Within Longshou Mountain Secret Realm, because Insect-type Little Spirits are abundant, the numbers of Ba Da Butterfly and Da Zhen Feng Little Spirits are naturally considerable.

"Poison-type Little Spirit?"

Lin Mo slightly frowned, stroked his chin, and realized that many people have recently been buying Poison-type Little Spirits on the market.

In Lin Mo's view, although Poison-type Little Spirits have many uses, they are not worth the great effort many people expend to capture them.

"Could there be some hidden secret?"

Thinking of that, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh.

Even if such a secret existed, it was not something a small novice trainer like himself could intervene in.

"Just try your luck!"

Lin Mo shook his head slightly and muttered, "If I could encounter a Drop Spider, this would count as a complete merit."

He walked straight ahead for half an hour.

A swift river appeared before Lin Mo.

Drop Spiders primarily live in water.

Therefore, to find Drop Spiders, the best method is to follow the stream.

But when Lin Mo saw the mud ground full of footprints, his heart chilled halfway.

These footprints were left in the past few days.

These Little Spirit hunters were all experienced and extremely familiar with the Little Spirits' habits.

Naturally, they would think to search for Drop Spiders here.

"But recently no one has been heard to complete that task!"

Lin Mo stroked his chin and whispered, "Moreover, I have the system, so searching for Little Spirits is far more convenient for me than for others."

With that in mind, Lin Mo strode forward.

A clear system prompt sound occasionally echoed in his ears.

"Ding dong! Right side, 40 meters, Little Spirit Carp King discovered!"

【Carp King (Water-type)】

【Level: LV11 (Novice)】

【Trait: Calm and Unhurried】

【Skill: Water Splash Leap】

【Potential: Ordinary】

"Ding dong! 40 meters to the right, Little Spirit Horned Goldfish discovered!"

【Horned Goldfish (Water-type)】

【Level: LV12 (Novice)】

【Trait: Calm and Unhurried】

【Skills: Peck, Tail Wag, Water Ripple, Ultrasonic】

【Potential: Ordinary】

Each prompt sound was for a Little Spirit whose strength was only at the novice level.

Moreover, most of their aptitude was ordinary, and few Little Spirits could reach ordinary aptitude.

Furthermore, Lin Mo had no Water-type Little Spirit and no fishing gear on him.

Trying to capture a Water-type Little Spirit was a pipe dream.

The deeper he went into the Secret Realm, the more powerful the Little Spirits he encountered became.

Even Lin Mo encountered a Violent Carp Dragon of ordinary strength.

"Ding dong! 70 meters to the right, Little Spirit Violent Carp Dragon discovered!"

【Violent Carp Dragon (Water-type/Flying-type)】

【Level: LV22 (Ordinary)】

【Trait: Intimidation】

【Skills: Bite Hold, Tornado, Impact, Ice Fang, Ghost Face, Climbing Waterfall】

【Potential: Ordinary】

"Roar!"

Accompanied by a low roar, a massive hulking creature swayed its body continuously in the water.

Its huge sharp teeth chewed forcefully, producing a series of clacking tooth‑collision sounds.

Seeing this, Lin Mo's pupils narrowed slightly, and he hurried toward the distance.

Such a big fellow was not one Lin Mo could provoke.

Although also an ordinary‑level Little Spirit, this was nonetheless an immensely powerful Violent Carp Dragon.

It was not a mere ordinary‑level Rada.

Just this one ordinary‑level Violent Carp Dragon could completely defeat three ordinary‑level Rada.

"Eh?"

Soon, Lin Mo arrived in front of a steep mountain peak.

"Wah‑la‑la!"

The water rushed violently, and a waterfall poured down from the mountain's midsection.

Obviously, the stream he had just walked through was fed by the water of this waterfall.

Around the waterfall were several trainers holding fishing rods, angling.

For Water-type trainers, Longshou Mountain Secret Realm is an excellent fishing spot.

Free, with a low danger rating.

There are also a considerable number of Water-type Small Spirits.

"Ding‑dong! A Little Spirit Drip Spider detected one meter ahead!"

At that moment, a crisp System Prompt Sound sounded beside Lin Mo's ear.

【Drip Spider (Water-type/Insect Type)】

【Level: LV21 (Ordinary)】

【Trait: Water Bubble】

【Skills: Foam Beam, Water Gun, Bite Hold, Insect Bite, Water Flow Ring, Headbutt】

【Potential: Ordinary】

Listening to the System Prompt Sound at his ear, Lin Mo was slightly stunned.

He quickly looked ahead.

He saw, a meter away, a raging waterfall.

"Inside the waterfall?"

Lin Mo's brows furrowed like a sword's edge, and he thought, "The current is so swift that even if I have a Water-type Small Spirit, I can't reach in to capture the Drip Spider!"

After a moment of thought, Lin Mo clenched his fist: "Giving up lightly isn't my style!"

With that in mind, Lin Mo strode forward, circled the lake, and reached the base of the waterfall.

"Ding‑dong! A Little Spirit Drip Spider detected ten meters above!"

At that moment, a familiar System Prompt Sound rang again.

Faintly, Lin Mo noticed that beneath the waterfall there was a dimly visible pit.

"Could the Drip Spider be inside?"

Lin Mo touched his chin and fell silent.

Finding the Drip Spider was no doubt, but entering the pit was not a simple matter.

"If it's impossible, first catch an Ordinary Water-type Small Spirit!"

Lin Mo's mind worked quickly, and he soon devised a plan.

With two novice‑level peak Little Spirits, he could easily capture a Water-type Small Spirit.

He would let it lead him into the pit.

With that thought, Lin Mo turned and left, without any hesitation.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

At that instant, several white silhouettes flashed by.

Following them, a crisp System Prompt Sound rang.

"Ding‑dong! A Little Spirit Long-winged Gull detected thirty meters overhead!"

【Long-winged Gull (Water-type/Flying Type)】

【Level: LV18 (Novice)】

【Trait: Sharp Gaze】

【Skills: Cry, Water Gun, Wing Attack, Ultrasonic, Flash of Electric Light】

【Potential: Ordinary】

"Long-winged Gull!!!"

Lin Mo's face lit with joy, yet he thought of a plan.

A Water-type Flying-type Long-winged Gull is the perfect choice to enter the ten‑meter pit.

"Go, Da Zhen Feng!"

"Poison Needle!"

As Lin Mo finished speaking, Da Zhen Feng flapped its wings, rose as a pale‑brown phantom, and flew before the Long-winged Gull.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Several deep‑purple Poison Needles instantly pierced the Long-winged Gull.

The Poison Needles were dense and hard to dodge.

The Long-winged Gull simply stopped dodging and opened its beak.

A torrent of water surged out instantly.

It fell onto the dense Poison Needles.

"Ding‑ling‑ling!"

The Poison Needles scattered on the ground, in disarray.
