Reborn as a tiger cub, I'm too weak, so I can only rely on self-discipline.

Chapter 302 Sea spiders are spiders too!

Spider silk? Where can you find spider silk in this freezing weather?

Wait, where did you get that fishing rod from before?

Yi Chen muttered something in silence for a moment, then asked as if he remembered something.

"That's what the character comes with at the start!"

Although the original version of Minecraft starts with nothing.

But I played a pirated version that came with a few basic tools, and then I could switch to that version!

However, there is only one tool available, and it will disappear when I transform back.

Also, it only supports survival mode, not creative mode, so don't even think about exploiting bugs. If you want a fishing rod, you have to craft it at a workbench!

Bai Jue explained.

As she spoke, several abstract blocky tools materialized in her blocky hands: a wooden shovel, a wooden axe, a wooden pickaxe…

Finally, she added some limitations of transforming into Steve.

"Alright... then why didn't you use a wooden axe to chop down the tree just now?"

Yi Chen was originally eager to offer some suggestions, but Bai Jue's words silenced all his suggestions.

However, Bai Jue's words made him seem rather dim-witted. Yi Chen thought for a moment and then asked a question, trying to save face.

"Build the first workbench, and cut down trees by hand—that's the only way to get the real feel for it!"

Bai Jue replied matter-of-factly.

"..."

Yichen was speechless, his face darkening.

"Bai Jue, could you transform into a spider-like character, release your own spider silk, collect it, and then use it?"

At this moment, Qin Changyi, who was standing to the side, also offered his advice.

"No, I can only pick up spider-like creatures if I kill them in the guise of Steve and get the spider silk from them."

I've turned into a spider-like creature, how can I become Steve?

Besides, am I supposed to kill myself?

Bai Jue rolled her eyes.

If it weren't for the suggestion from Qin Changyi, an elder, and if it were Yi Chen, her tone certainly wouldn't have been so gentle; it would have been at least sarcastic.

"It seems that after Bai Jue transforms into Steve, the character's abilities must conform to the game's logic..."

Spiders… just as Yichen said, finding spiders in this freezing weather is indeed not an easy task.”

Watching the three discuss, Cangnian fell into deep thought.

Spiders used to be quite easy to find; they were everywhere in the dense forests, and there were even quite a few evolved spiders.

However, after the temperature plummeted, Cang Nian hardly saw any insects or arthropods.

Compared to mammals, which can maintain a constant body temperature, other animals are not very resistant to cold.

"Wait... Bai Jue said that killing spider-like creatures can yield spider silk!"

Therefore, the key lies in the spider, not the spider silk!

"Then...would sea spiders work too?"

At that moment, a flash of inspiration struck Cangnian.

Although the temperature on land near the sea is already around three or four degrees Celsius.

But in such an environment, finding a spider is as difficult as climbing to the sky.

But sea spiders are different.

This thing is definitely found in large quantities in the ocean, once it reaches a certain depth.

Based on the characteristics of sea spiders before the spiritual energy revival, these creatures certainly would not have become extinct in the ocean due to the revival of spiritual energy.

Because they are useless enough.

It has long, slender legs, a withered body, and is quite sturdy.

Even though these creatures are as plentiful on the seabed as rats and cockroaches in a sewer, the energy consumed to eat them is greater than the energy absorbed from them.

Therefore, this is a creature without natural enemies!

If I'm useless enough, no one can take advantage of me!

This is the survival philosophy that sea spiders, living fossils that have thrived on Earth for 250 million years, have always upheld.

Although this creature is biologically classified into a separate class of marine spiders, it is not the same as terrestrial spiders.

But if the structures are similar, the shapes are similar, and the names are similar, then it should be okay, right?

"Ow~!"

Without hesitation, Cangnian greeted Yichen and the others, then plunged into the sea with a splash.

"Does the big tiger think there's no hope left?"

"How about we search in the woods first?"

Looking at Cang Nian jumping into the sea, Bai Jue spread his hands and then said helplessly.

"I will gather everyone to search together, but in this environment, the chances of finding a spider are slim."

Qin Changyi immediately said.

……

Meanwhile, Cangnian was swimming rapidly on the sea.

Although tigers are not marine creatures, they are good swimmers.

His evolution level has recently approached the late stage of the third tier, and with the blessing of the mountain god's power, he is almost at the fourth tier.

Even when fighting away from home, he can kill any fourth-tier evolved creature he doesn't encounter. Even if he does encounter a fourth-tier evolved creature, he can simply use his overlimit burst to survive.

Although he had had so many opportunities and was only close to the late stage of the third tier, Cang Nian was certain that there must be fourth-tier evolved creatures in the ocean now!

There's no other reason than that my own opportunities are insignificant compared to the superior environment of marine life.

For example, burning a massive amount of mycelium to obtain evolution factors allows you to evolve to the second stage ahead of other evolved creatures, which would be a dream start on land.

However, the ocean is full of massive algae, which sometimes cover tens of thousands of square kilometers of sea surface.

For example, the queen insect harvested everything along the way for hundreds of kilometers, evolved to the third stage early, but was then eaten by her own family.

But in the ocean, hundreds of millions of krill and millions of large fish are only the foundation of this ecosystem.

Even before the spiritual energy revived, there were many whales in the ocean that were twenty or thirty meters long and weighed over a hundred tons.

How enormous will they be after the spiritual energy revives?

The past is unknown, but it is known that with such an ecological environment, it is not surprising what kind of terrifying beings it could breed.

"This should be about right. I remember the cherry blossom sea between the peninsula and the land of cherry blossoms is quite deep on average..."

Looking back, he could only see the outline of the shore. Cang Nian steadied himself, then exhaled a long breath, took another deep breath, held it, and plunged into the sea.

As the sea sank deeper into the ocean, the light became increasingly faint.

However, tigers have excellent night vision; as long as it's not absolute darkness, they can see some things.

Darkness is not the scariest thing; the scariest thing is water pressure.

As Cang Nian descended deeper and deeper, the water pressure acting on him became increasingly astonishing.

Before the resurgence of spiritual energy, the deepest human body ever dived to was 105 meters, or 10.5 atmospheres of pressure.

Now, Cangnian descended all the way down to about 300 meters below the sea surface before finally reaching the seabed beach.

At this depth, there are no corals or seaweed, only bare sand.

However, to Cangnian's delight, he quickly found the target he was going to dive into.
