The Little Spider appeared powerless in the face of the massive Rock Block. If it could speak, it would probably complain, "Hey, brother, isn't this like using a cannon to shoot a mosquito? Is such a tiny spider really worth moving such a large stone for?"
However, the merciless pressure of the Rock Tile ended the Little Spider's life. After the stone was removed, nothing remained on the ground except for the traces of the Little Spider's disappearance.
Yun Xiao Yi rubbed his chin thoughtfully. The absence of the Little Spider meant that the game rules might have been activated, resulting in no items dropping. This could be related to the spider's size or perhaps it was just a low-probability event. It seemed that the smaller the spider, the lower the chance of item drops.
Fortunately, there were plenty of spiders in this courtyard, providing Yun Xiao Yi with enough conditions for testing. He then darted between several corners of the walls and collected seven Spider Webs while defeating over twenty spiders. The sizes of these spiders varied significantly.
Among them, one spider dropped some silk after being dealt with, while another dropped a bright red Spider Eye. After obtaining these two items, Yun Xiao Yi felt he had reached a conclusion, just as he had anticipated.
In reality, spiders do have a chance of yielding silk or Spider Eyes. However, compared to the large spiders in games, their drop rates are relatively lower, as it largely depends on the specific size of the spider. Larger spiders have a higher drop rate, while smaller ones have a lower one. If one could find a spider as big as a basin, it’s likely that the drops would be just as plentiful as in the game.
Yet, in reality, finding such a large spider seems to be quite rare. At least in the several decades before his journey, Yun Xiao Yi had never encountered a spider of that size.
When he returned to Zhao An and the others, they had indeed followed his instructions and waited at the spot for quite some time. As Yun Xiao Yi approached them, Zhao Yun immediately asked, “Great Immortal, we have obtained the silk; should we head to the ruins’ basement next?” His eager eyes clearly indicated that he was keen to go.
To stay or not to stay? That was the choice before him! He had originally planned to collect more silk from the abandoned basement and conduct tests by defeating spiders. Now that he had acquired enough silk and gathered sufficient information about the drops from killing spiders, logically speaking, there was no need to visit that abandoned basement again.
However, there is an old saying in China: “Since we’ve come this far…” Standing at the entrance of the abandoned basement, it felt somewhat regretful not to take a look inside.
Moreover, Yun Xiao Yi was extremely curious about what kind of armor and weapons were hidden there, enough to make the well-informed Zhao An show a moment of hesitation in front of her. It should be noted that even when he had given away the Clan's mansion, Zhao An had not hesitated at all.
"Let's go take a look; we're already here," he said. As soon as the words left his mouth, a wry smile appeared on Zhao An's face.
The group made their way through the front courtyard and arrived at a storeroom located in the back yard. Zhao An took out a key and unlocked the door. After passing through several tightly secured barriers, he pushed open the wooden door. The furnishings inside appeared old and cluttered, but in reality, there wasn't much dust.
Zhao An walked deeper into the room and after rummaging for a moment, he pulled back a concealed cover, revealing a passage that led downwards. This passage was the way to the basement. Zhao An was the first to climb into the tunnel, saying, "I'll go ahead and clear the way."
Once Zhao An descended, the others followed one by one. The tunnel wasn't very deep; it only took five or six meters to reach the ground level. The surroundings were pitch black, but Zhao An seemed accustomed to it and showed no signs of urgency. "Everyone stay still; let me light a candle," he instructed.
However, before he could reach for a row of candles on the wall, Yun Xiao Yi pulled out two torches from her backpack and inserted them into brackets on either side of the wall. The flames ignited by flint illuminated the entire basement.
Zhao An stood still for a moment, feeling slightly embarrassed. Then he awkwardly smiled and said,
Forgotten was the Great Immortal's miraculous technique. However, what puzzled everyone was that apart from some cobwebs in the corners of the basement, there was nothing else. Not only Yun Xiao Yi, but even Zhao Yun, Zhao Lin, and Zhao Yan looked at Zhao An in confusion. Where were the armors and weapons that were supposed to be stored in the basement? Had they been stolen?
Seeing their expressions, Zhao An seemed to understand their doubts. He calmly walked to the deepest part of the basement, where there was another hidden space. It was indeed well concealed! After so many security measures, even a thief would find it difficult to locate this secret chamber.
After some effort, Zhao An finally moved a panel that blended almost perfectly with the surrounding walls, revealing a stone door behind it. The stone door slowly opened under his push. Zhao An led the way into the stone chamber, with the others following closely behind.
As soon as they entered, Yun Xiao Yi took out a torch again, lit it, and fixed it to the wall, illuminating the surroundings of the stone chamber. Inside this secret room were many rare treasures. The space they discovered was no less impressive than the basement warehouse they had just seen, covering an area of about one hundred square meters.
This place was no longer the empty space they had encountered before; it was filled with boxes of various sizes, each polished to a mirror-like shine, clearly well-maintained. Compared to the dilapidated courtyard and cluttered small warehouse they had just seen, could it be that all those were mere illusions? Was it all to disguise the true nature of this place?
But for those who were unaware of the truth, there was no way for them to guess that such a rundown location concealed such immense wealth.
