Abba had successfully reached Level 10 after this period of growth. Its level and quality were almost the same as the Dead Leaf Locust in the cage. It was the best opponent for training.
Locusts were originally part of the spider's diet, so there was no natural resistance. Instead, Abba had the advantage.
However, the outcome was the complete opposite.
When Abba was chased into the cage by Gao Peng, it looked up and saw the huge creature hanging on the wire.
It was so scared that it quickly shrank into the corner of the cage and raised its two shield-like limbs to cover its head.
Then, it secretly observed the Dead Leaf Locust through the gaps between its limbs.
The Dead Leaf Locust also noticed Abba. Its compound eyes turned and locked onto the big spider below.
Stripey's aura made it feel uncomfortable. Its mouthparts wriggled, and its body turned from head up to head down. It stared at Stripey, and the wings on its back kept flapping, like two wind blades vibrating at a high frequency.
Abba wanted to retreat, but it had nowhere to hide in the corner. It could only wave its forelimbs, trying to intimidate the Dead Leaf Locust.
The Dead Leaf Locust's eyes remained calm. It did not let down its guard because of the spider's strange movements. Ever since it was captured by humans, it had been locked in a very small cage. It was not given any food until this afternoon when it finally had a good meal.
Of course, with the Dead Leaf Locust's intelligence, it could not understand such a thing as a last meal …
Outside the cage, Gao Peng watched this scene quietly. Although he was mentally prepared, he still could not help but worry about Abba.
This was its only path. If it wanted to grow, it had to experience battles.
At this moment, Gao Peng finally understood what Mr. Zhang meant by a gentle and violent personality.
It was also their first battle, but Da Zi's performance was completely different from Abba's.
Da Zi was aggressive and even attacked its prey.
On the other hand, Abba chose to defend and escape. If it was not for the cement floor, he suspected that Abba would dig a hole and bury itself.
This was the difference between the two.
"Squeak squeak, squeak squeak." Abba squeaked softly. It tried its best to straighten its body, trying to please the Dead Leaf Locust.
In Gao Peng's mind, he heard Abba's voice.
"Don't hit me, don't hit me."
This idiot … Gao Peng sighed. Not to mention whether this Dead Leaf Locust could understand him, even if it could, it wouldn't hold back. With its personality, it would only become a target for other monsters to bully.
Why was there a saying that there were one pig, two bears, and three tigers in the forest?
This was because wild boars were the most reckless when they went crazy. The same goes for bears. When a bear goes crazy, it doesn't care who you are. It won't stop until you are dead.
The tiger, on the other hand, was smarter and more like a qualified hunter. Therefore, the tiger knew when to advance and retreat, and would not blindly charge forward.
Sure enough, Gao Peng saw the Dead Leaf Locust tilt its head, then abruptly scurried out from high above.
Its two thick hind legs tightened and exerted force like springs, kicking the barbed wire so hard that it creaked.
It was as if Mount Tai was pressing down on it. Its forelimbs were like two slender saws cutting down violently. Although Abba was a coward, it was not slow when it came to survival.
It hurriedly raised its claws and shield-like forelimbs to block its head.
A low, muffled thud was heard.
The Dead Leaf Locust jumped up at an extremely fast speed. The wings on its back flapped to reduce the impact. It hung on the barbed wire again, turning its compound eyes to stare at Abba.
Obviously, it did not have the upper hand in the exchange just now.
Abba released its front claws, then like a crab, moved along the side of the cage in another direction.
The Dead Leaf Locust was cautious and did not attack. Was this some new tactic?
One was paranoid, the other was cowardly. After a short exchange, the two monsters fell into an eerie silence.
However, this was only the prelude to a storm. The size of the cage determined that the two monsters could not coexist.
After a short pause, the Dead Leaf Locust took the initiative to attack. It seemed to have sensed Abba's cowardice. The Dead Leaf Locust used its sharp claws to hook onto Abba's forelimbs, and the two pairs of wings on its back flapped madly at a high frequency.
Before the Cataclysm, locusts could flap their wings 18 times in a second.
After the Cataclysm, the Dead Leaf Locust could flap its wings 36 times in a second.
The madly flapping wings lifted Abba up.
Stripey was in a panic and began to squeak.
The Dead Leaf Locust flapped its wings with all its might and lifted Abba more than 30 meters into the air. Too, too heavy. This crab was too heavy. However, after using all its strength, it finally lifted Abba up …
Then, it released its claws, and Abba was thrown down from the sky.
"Abba!" Gao Peng's heart skipped a beat.
Abba, who was falling from the sky, panicked. Because its body was slightly fat, it twisted its body with all its might and spat out a large amount of white liquid from its mouth. The white liquid quickly dried after coming into contact with the air and became tough. The white liquid sprayed all over the Dead Leaf Locust, who could not dodge in time.
Under the strong gravity, the white liquid turned into spider silk as thick as an arm and bound the Dead Leaf Locust. Even its two pairs of wings were stuck. Abba's falling momentum suddenly stopped.
The Dead Leaf Locust above its head whined and was dragged down by the fat spider below.
Fortunately, the Dead Leaf Locust was flapping its wings with all its might to slow down the speed of its descent.
With a plop, the two monsters landed on the ground and rolled into a ball.
Originally, this was the best time for Abba to attack. However, after landing on the ground, Abba fled in a panic and missed the best opportunity to attack. The Dead Leaf Locust adjusted its wings and cleared the spider silk before flying off the ground again.
"Abba, attack it. Don't be afraid." During this process, Gao Peng kept comforting Abba softly. He knew that this kind of thing could not be rushed. It needed time to get used to it.
Monster training was never something that could be done in a single leap. Gao Peng reminded himself that he needed to be patient.
He suddenly thought of Lotus Seed. Lotus Seed's personality was also very shy at the beginning. However, under Mu Tieying's training, it gradually became stronger. This was a very good result. With a good example in front of him, Gao Peng was filled with motivation.
Under Gao Peng's comfort, Abba gradually stopped running away. However, it was harder to make it take the initiative to attack. No matter how Gao Peng tried to persuade it, it did not dare to take the initiative to attack. It was only passively defending.
Gao Peng was a little helpless. Fortunately, Abba was only a defense-type familiar. He did not need it to take the initiative to attack. Since it was not willing to take the initiative to attack, he could train it to defend.
Perhaps because it was afraid of death, Abba seemed to be very talented in the path of defense.
Its pair of shield-like forelimbs were still very unfamiliar at the beginning. However, towards the end of the battle, it was able to wield the shields skillfully to defend against attacks.
However, its movements were strange no matter how one looked at it. A large spider was crawling on the ground, waving its shield-like forelimbs left and right, blocking the attacks of the Dead Leaf Locust from all directions.
