Chapter 56 Spider? Earth spider!
The meeting room fell into silence.
After the helicopter was pulled down, the video source on the screen quickly changed to the backup camera.
Looking at the giant spider trying to bite the helicopter, everyone was unable to say that the monster in front of them had any intelligence.
"It's impossible to communicate, it's just a beast!"
“There is still wisdom, but not much!”
"In my opinion, we should just go for the frontal combat!"
"Why weren't the two pilots chased by that spider?"
"Let me give you some scientific knowledge. This actually depends on the type of spider. Some ambush spiders may not ambush their prey a second time after ambushing one. This is because they may prefer to protect their nests or wait for the prey to be consumed naturally."
"Wandering spiders, on the other hand, may be more aggressive and continue to search for and attack other prey within their territory, and may even kill all prey within their territory."
"This spider is probably an ambush type of spider."
"I see!"
Minister Miki frowned and was about to say something when he suddenly heard an exclamation from the assistant next to him. He could not help but turn his head away.
"This is an emergency, Minister Miki, please pay attention here immediately!"
The assistant's exclamation broke the tense atmosphere in the room, and everyone's eyes followed the assistant's finger and turned to the big screen.
The giant spider in the picture suddenly opened its terrifying jaws and sprayed out an unknown corrosive liquid. The helicopter's skin began to melt the moment it came into contact with the helicopter, and then its mouthparts actually swallowed and absorbed the helicopter's metal shell?
"It, it's really eating?!" someone shouted in shock.
"Quick! Focus the image on the spider's back!"
Minister Miki's hasty command broke the brief moment of shock.
"Enlarge this place for me! Enlarge it further!"
As the scroll wheel was continuously dragged, the camera on the screen gradually aimed at the spider's back according to Minister Miki's instructions.
On the spider's originally pitch-black shell, there were suddenly some conspicuous silver patches, which sparkled with a cold metallic luster under the sunlight.
"Is this guy eating a metal-reinforced shell?"
Japan's monster disaster movies have a wide audience, and seeing this classic scene similar to the plot of the movie, Minister Miki felt that the guy in front of him could not possibly go against the laws of reality so much.
However, on second thought, since the spider's body has shown an extraordinary growth rate, it does not seem completely impossible that it has the ability to devour metal to strengthen itself.
Of course, the scariest thing is that there is no way to predict whether this spider can continue to evolve.
The body has evolved, the shell has evolved, will the next step be enhanced fertility?
And then start to attack the enemy?
Minister Miki felt a sense of fear as his imagination became more and more horrific.
Fortunately, we found each other early enough.
Although it was less than three days since the spider discovered the other party, its growth is obvious to all.
Otherwise, who knows what kind of monster this guy will grow into?
At this moment, the spider monster in front of the screen seemed to become some kind of trigger switch, triggering the memory of the priest off the scene.
He stood up suddenly and uttered an ancient word under the gaze of everyone.
"Spider Mound!"
"According to legend, deep in the forest of Tengu Mountain, a giant spider monster captured by Emperor Jimmu is sealed there!"
"Its name is "Earth Spider"!!!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the identity of the spider monster is most likely the legendary monster Tsuchigumo!"
"In ancient books, earth spiders are described as spiders that are abnormally large, like a small mountain, so they are also called 'mountain spiders'."
"They usually have the basic characteristics of spiders, such as eight long legs and a round abdomen, but their size is much larger than that of ordinary spiders! In addition, in terms of habits, they often build their nests in caves or dense woods."
"Location! Race! Body type!"
"Everything matches! All clues point to the same answer! This is the larval form of the earth spider!"
Tsuchigumo? Isn't that a legendary monster?
Having said that, if this kind of monster really appeared in ancient times, it would be difficult for people at that time to fight against it.
This huge guy covered in metal could be said to be a monster capable of destroying a country in ancient times!
It can indeed be called a legendary monster!
Minister Miki has great trust in the priest. Last time at the Amber River, he showed his profound knowledge! He accurately identified the even more difficult to identify the White Dragon and the Bathhouse!!!
After hearing the priest's introduction about the "huge spider as big as a hill", Minister Miki couldn't help but think of a giant spider monster several dozen meters tall and wearing metallic armor appearing in the city center, with small spiders all over the hills under the spider monster's feet wreaking havoc on Tokyo...
Minister Miki couldn't help but tremble. If he really let it get to this point, he would really commit seppuku to apologize!
He quickly stood up and bowed slightly to the people in the room, then whispered in his assistant's ear.
"I'll go ask my superiors for instructions. You stay here to control the situation. If there's an emergency, please contact us immediately."
"In addition to gods and Buddhas, even monsters have appeared?"
“I’m beginning to not understand this world anymore!”
“I’ve already started thinking about buying property near temples and shrines!”
"Indeed, if the extraordinary trend is irreversible, can we prepare to speculate in real estate now?"
After sitting down, the priest had a complicated expression on his face. He also realized that the world might undergo earth-shaking changes in the future!
First the gods came to the world, and then the "monsters" appeared!
In just a few days, half of his worldview had collapsed, and he could only fall asleep at night with the help of drugs.
Otherwise, once he closed his eyes, his family's thousand-year-old shrine would be replaced, and he would toss and turn all night.
Crunch!
At this moment, the side door slowly opened and Minister Miki walked into the room. He looked extremely solemn. After his phone call just now, he found that things were more urgent than he had imagined.
The threat of Tsuchigumo's growth is imminent, and what is more worrying is that outside forces have keenly noticed Neon's abnormality and are exerting pressure in an attempt to get a piece of the pie in this unknown change.
The top management has decided to deal with this matter as quickly as possible, at least to get some benefit from this incident.
Thinking of this, Minister Miki looked around and slowly spoke to everyone present.
"It may be too late for us to prepare a capture plan. According to the instructions of our superiors, we have decided to declare a direct direct firefight!"
"Please ask the military to dispatch relevant troops to the scene as soon as possible to capture and destroy the young monster codenamed "Tsuchigumo" in the shortest possible time!"
“Please everyone!!!”
