The spider's body was instantly covered with a dense red light, and a powerful force continuously squeezed it.

The instinctive spider silk used to retaliate was utterly futile in the face of this power.

That terrifying killing intent was like a heavy hammer, slamming into its body and almost crushing the spider's consciousness.

"hiss--."

The spider emitted low hisses, and its eight legs trembled violently.

Although it is not highly intelligent, its biological instincts clearly tell it:

The human before it possessed the power to kill it, yet strangely, its attack held back some strength.

To be or not to be?

Without the slightest hesitation, the spider bent down and made the most complete gesture of submission to Zhao Mutou.

That knife could kill it easily.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Mutou immediately suppressed his killing intent and the gleam of his blade, then leaped onto the spider's body.

Spider's body trembled slightly as it firmly remembered Zhao Mutou's scent on its back, and obediently stood up steadily.

"Alright! From now on, you are my mount!" Zhao Mutou suppressed his excitement and reached out to stroke the cold, hard shell of the spider beneath him.

Although he held back in his attack just now, its power was still far beyond what ordinary beasts could easily withstand. Yet the spider was completely unharmed, its body's defense was far stronger and more robust than he had imagined!

In addition, there's their incredible speed, camouflage that blends seamlessly into their surroundings, and their unpredictable ability to launch sneak attacks using spider webs.

This is simply the perfect mount and battle companion I've always dreamed of!

Seeing that Zhao Mutou, who was much younger than them, had subdued a large spider that looked like it was not to be trifled with in such a powerful and domineering way, the young people around were silent at first, and then all looked at him with surprise and envy.

"Holy crap! Zhao Mutou is too fierce!!" The one who spoke was the tall and strong young man, whose eyes were wide open.

"Absolutely! Look how obedient that spider is. Zhao Mutou didn't dare to move an inch when he sat on it. Its intimidating power is incredible!"

"That's real skill."

"As expected of the Fourth Battalion Commander!"
