Rise of the White Dragon
chapter-66

"Mother, before we start to walk away, we should do like Luan, take parts of the spider's body and use it as a weapon," Catharina said, looking in the direction of the giant spider: "I think the legs of this spider can be used as a weapon, at least it is better than being empty-handed, by the way, the extinguisher is gone, you can't use it anymore."

"Yes, I also intend to take the gas out of the car and put it in a canister in the trunk. Cristina said she started to manage to generate a little fire. Even if it's a little, we can use gasoline to trap some of these mutant beasts." Maira spoke her idea aloud.

"Great! Let's not waste any time, then." Catharina was more confident when she heard what her mother said.

"Let me take off the spider's legs since I have more strength. Meanwhile, Mother and Big Sister can get the gas out of the car," Cristina suggested.

"Okay. Let's do it this way." As it was not very risky, it was necessary to trust each other, moreover, it was a fact that Cristina was the strongest and had the best chance of pulling the spider's legs. Maira added, "There are gloves here. Do not risk touching directly the purple goo, as it could be poison."

"Yes, I understand." Cristina took the pair of gloves, which got a little big in her hand, but it was still better than running out.

"Finally..." Luan murmured. He was without his room and had just finished all the game system settings. The game was at least 20 years old at the current time, however, Luan reduced the graphics to be accessible for the current time. Even so, the way the characters moved was very real.

Luan walked with the character created in his image around the city of Florianópolis that he replicated. Yes, he had replicated the entirety of Planet Earth, mapping all the corners of the world. Using the knowledge he had of his past life, he, who had traveled all over the world, it was easy for him to do that.

Although the game was bulky because of that, it did something like an elimination system. Whenever a person changed cities, the old saved configuration of that city would be deleted and replaced by the next one, not taking up as much space on the hard drive.

Unfortunately, the current internet was not fast enough to download the new maps every time you change cities, but it was still better than making the game too memory intensive. In addition, his main focus was not to change the map but to learn the technique of body foundation.

Of course, it also had the function of keeping the maps already downloaded. The first option was more for users of the game who were unable to have a very large hard drive and could not let it take up much space in the HD.

For the character that Luan created, he first had to train 1 technique move repeatedly. He accelerated time in the game, and after five days of training and meditation, the game's character reached level 1.

The character started out as an ordinary citizen, but after reaching level 1, the character who used to live a normal life started to see monsters roaming the city and attacking without being noticed.

Luan used his character to attack a level 1 monster that was attacking a man in the city, which looked like the man was crazy since he was struggling alone and nobody else saw the monster.

After defeating the monster, Luan dropped a crystal. That crystal was used to exchange for the second movement of the body technique. It was necessary to have 100 crystals to be able to exchange for the second part.

Another thing that he intended to do as an expansion of the game, was to make simulations of dimensional cracks. However, this was not the right time for this, and it would also take more time. For now, it was enough to put the game online.

As for Hosts, Dimas Corporation had a host branch. There was no reason for him to worry about that. The design he had already done was not difficult; he could draw everything he could imagine by computer. And it was easy for him to configure and place all of the types of hair, bodies, body structure, etc. in character creation.

After making a call, he already created the host for the game too and the game was already online, along with the website. However, he still wouldn't announce it. As he planned, he would speak to his grandfather first.

By two o'clock in the afternoon, Luan had already finished all his appointments. Now, he only had a business dinner at 8:30 pm.

However, suddenly, he received a warning from the system created by his cell phone. He looked at the warning which said: [Maira Dimas, Cristina Dimas, and Catharina Dimas were unavailable for more than 1 hour on their cell phones. And in the search engine, they cannot be found, and the last time you saw them was in Maira Dimas's car, almost at the entrance to the highway.]

In addition, there was a video that was very blurred, but Luan could see at the exact moment that the car disappeared. Because it was made from a not-so-good surveillance camera, the dimensional crack could not be seen properly, but Luan was sure that his mother and sisters were caught by one.

Luan hurriedly left his office, and said when looking at Ingrid, "Follow me, something happened."

"Yes." Ingrid asked no questions and just followed Luan closely. She knew that for Luan to be acting like this, something very serious had happened.

"Mom, attack now!" Cristina kicked from the bottom up, hitting the scorpion and making it get off the ground.

"Yes!" Maira held a spear made of the giant spider's leg and seeing the giant scorpion in the air, she pierced it with the spear.

*Bang!*

Catharina also held a spear made from the giant spider's leg, she aimed at the scorpion's head and attacked.

*Bang!*

At the tips of the spears, she had placed some spider venom. Even if it took time to work, after being hit so many times with poison both on the head and stomach, the giant scorpion succumbed.

"This was an easy one. Good team work!" Catharina smiled and made a "put it here" for her mother and little sister, while raising a hand toward each of them. Maira and Cristina were cooperative and hit Catharina on the hand with a "palm" sound.

Catharina, who was looking at the giant scorpion, said, "Mhm... Now what to do with this scorpion? Should we pull out his claw and use it as a weapon? After all, it must be stronger than the legs of the giant spider."

"Not only that, there are these other claws that look like pliers, they can also be used as a weapon, and remember how difficult it was to hurt this scorpion's back? So, I think we should take it out to use it as a shield," Cristina said. She still remembered how good the defense of this scorpion's back was, it would be a good idea in her opinion to use it to create a shield.

"That's not bad. Let's do it." Maira agreed. She knew that if they wanted to survive, it was necessary to strengthen themselves.

"Since we agreed on this, we will first remove the claws, because with that, we can use them to cut the rest since they look sharp as razors," Catharina thought and said.

"Yes, that's a good idea." Maira nodded.

With that in mind, Maira, Catharina, and Cristina began to work carefully so as not to be poisoned by accident.
