Chapter 31 (1/2)

Apart from the Water Spirit Worms, Sacred Beetles, and Tiger-Armored Devil Insect, the power of the Ink-Tailed Mantis Shrimp could not go unnoticed.

The Ink Tail Mantis Shrimp, which was no bigger than 18 centimeters, could unleash a force more explosive than bullets!

The large hammer-claws on its chest packed a lot of force.

The pair of appendages’ maximum speed could exceed eighty kilometers per hour!

It was faster than a five millimeters pistol bullet!

Instantly, the high temperature produced by friction could even cause electric sparks to appear in the surrounding water, creating a shock wave from the sea. The power of this punch was 1,500 bulls.

If humans had such arm strength, they could throw a baseball into geosynchronous orbit.

Besides, since the Ink-Tailed Mantis Shrimp could unleash such a powerful sonic punch, its body was naturally very resistant.

Otherwise, with one punch, the enemy would die, and its claws would be fractured.

The Ink-Tailed Mantis Shrimp consisted of three different structures, and its hardness could even surpass engineering ceramics of the same thickness.

The outermost layer was made up of minerals similar to human bones, and any cracks on the carapace would not expand quickly.

The inner layer had multiple layers of fibers arranged in spirals, like a natural bulletproof vest that could deflect external forces by spinning and contracting.

The third layer was a fiber-wrapped layer that protected the whole body like the cloth that a boxer wrapped around his fist.

It could be both offensive and defensive, stronger than crabs.

“This Ink-Tailed Mantis Shrimp is the Godzilla of the shrimp world! It’s too powerful!”

Austin exclaimed after reading up on the Ink-Tailed Mantis Shrimp.

In addition to its superhuman attack and defense, the Ink-Tailed Mantis Shrimp also had a vision far beyond humans.

The Mantis Shrimp could see colors, and its color perception covered all the spectrum visible to human eyes and ultraviolet and infrared rays that humans could not see!

Humans have binocular vision with three types of photoreceptor cells in the eyes, so humans define the three primary colors of light as red, green, and blue.

Compared with the three types of photoreceptor cells that humans possess in their eyes, the compound eyes of a mantis shrimp have between 12 and 16 types of photoreceptor cells. And each compound eye is made up of tens of thousands of clusters of photoreceptor cells.

Such a unique eye structure allowed them to see circularly polarized light.

If I can get my hands on the Water Spirit Worms and the Ink-Tailed Mantis Shrimp, my cells will evolve and probably reach stage five life form!

Austin became even more excited with the thought.

The peak of a stage four life form could already kill high-level vicious beasts and was comparable to a tier-three magister!

If he advanced to stage five, would it mean that he could compete with a tier-four magister and hunt elite-level vicious beasts?

Water Spirit Worms live in a wide area. They exist all over the world and can even be found in cities.

But the Ink-Tailed Mantis Shrimp is not as easy. It lives in the sea, and Faye is not near the sea.

I didn’t see any Ink-Tailed Mantis Shrimp when I went to the magical beast farm last time.

As for the Sacred Beetles and Tiger-armored Devil Insects, they are also quite common. If I spend more time searching for them, I should be able to find them.

Austin thought again about the Red Electric Eel.

He could not forget the electric discharge ability of the Electric Eel.

Although he had developed moves like Burning Fire Blast and Ring of Fire, they still required a fire source.

Austin would be in a predicament if his fire magic canister ran out of magic or there was no fire source around.

Fortunately, after I hunted the high-level beast, Storm Beast, my cells successfully evolved, and my ability to control air and wind increased from Lv2 to Lv3.
