The basketball-sized Stone Spider Silk suddenly appeared at the cave entrance, causing Yan Yan's pupils to constrict.
It was the Stone Spider Lair.
Stone Spider Lair: Level 1
Attributes: Boss Monster
Health Points: 88
Difficulty: 54
Attack: 9
Skills: Web Entanglement, Web Silk Hunt, Silk Corrosion
Attack Range: 15 yards
Although this was part of the plan, the timing was completely off!
Damn it, they arrived too early—
Her gaze darted between the Stone Spider Ball and the Stone Spider Lair. She applied another layer of Concealment Powder on herself, took a deep breath, and pressed her body against the cave entrance, cautiously retreating into the distance.
The Stone Spider Silk's bulging eyes moved warily, scanning its surroundings while its eight fluffy legs twitched restlessly, searching for any suspicious scents in the air.
With her slender legs moving slowly back and forth, she held her breath, beads of sweat rolling down from the tip of her nose.
Tick-tock—
Sweat dripped onto the stone surface, creating a delicate pattern.
At the same moment, the six eyes behind the Stone Spider Silk instantly turned toward the droplets falling on the stone!
She immediately halted, her rigid body freezing in place, leaving only the sizzling sound of burning in the surroundings.
Holding her breath, she waited until the six eyes on the back of the Stone Spider Lair shifted their gaze. Carefully, she lowered her aching leg, and just then—
Web Silk Hunt!
Not good, she had been spotted!
Dodge—
Her body suddenly lunged to the right, crashing hard to the ground ten yards from the cave entrance. As her peripheral vision caught sight of the incoming corrosive silk, there was no time to block with her Longbow. “Ugh—”
-5
Her Health Points plummeted instantly.
Swallowing a Health Potion, she watched as her remaining sliver of health slowly began to recover. With a swift roll, she evaded the Web Entanglement that came rushing toward her and slid quickly to create a fifteen-yard distance.
Bss was trapped in sunlight, unable to pursue from the shadows.
Creak, creak—
The Stone Spider Ball, freed from the Sulfur Flame Powder, was once again ensnared by the white Web Entanglement, rapidly rolling towards Yan Yan's position. Streams of Web Silk Hunt shot out from all directions, and with the Concealment Powder obscuring her enemy's location, the Stone Spider Silk could only burst forth in a single shot. "Crack—" The dense, sharp spider silk pierced into the stone; if it were human bones, they would have been penetrated long ago.
The scene before her instantly reminded her of the faint crackling sounds she had heard earlier, which turned out to be the sound of Stone Spider Silk piercing through stone. The level one Stone Spider Silk's high attack power could easily kill her in an instant!
Bss's previous strike had been purely luck, avoiding both Critical Damage and Critical Damage.
She lowered her gaze to reassess the attack power of ordinary Stone Spider Silk. In a flash, calculations raced through her mind as the Explosive Arrow was released from her hand.
"Boom—" The explosion sent out a wave of noticeable Damage Value.
-6, -4, -
The damage was reduced due to the one-level difference, causing the effect of the Explosive Arrow to diminish by half. The Health Bar taken away was barely one-tenth of the Stone Spider Swarm's total.
Before a minute had passed since the Explosive Arrow had cooled down, another arrow flew out, completely nullifying the Concealment Powder. The figure standing outside the cave drew all the hatred focus of the Stone Spider Silk.
The black Stone Spider Silk swiftly crawled towards her under the fierce sunlight, with Damage Values appearing as -1, -5, -8...
It was the purifying effect of sunlight on Stone Spider Silk.
Frowning at the sight of no less than fifty black Stone Spider Silks before her, she quickly made a decision to retreat. She had already collected all fifty pieces of Stone Spider Silk from Li the Tailor and did not need to risk delaying any further. The amount of Experience gained from level nine to level one was terrifying and could not be filled within a short time.
Having made up her mind, she repeatedly used her Dodge skill, leaping several times to swiftly escape from the Attack Range of the Stone Spider Swarm.
Looking back from a distance, she saw the Stone Spider Lair lurking deep within the cave; its bulging giant eyes suddenly caught her gaze, sending a shiver down her spine. Bss's Intelligence was several levels higher than that of ordinary Stone Spider Silk and did not move under sunlight at all. Previously, the Stone Spider Swarm had ignored the damage from light while rushing out due to the temptation of an Oil Torch. In comparison, this Bss was even harder to deal with than in Gray Wolf Territory.
It wasn't Bss's thick blood or high attack that scared her; it was Bss's Intelligence.
The hurried footsteps came to an abrupt halt when a familiar face came into view.
Seeing that face, one she would recognize even in ashes, Yan Yan felt her blood rush to her head, and an uncontrollable hatred shot from her eyes.
This person, how could they be here?
“Silent, Endless Abyss needs an archer, come here.”
“Silent, Skeleton Sanctuary needs someone, lend a hand.”
“Yan Yan, help me farm some gear.”
“Darling, my weapon durability is gone. I’ll send it to you; once it’s repaired, please send back the crafted gear.”
“Yan Yan, I’m sorry. The person I like is Xin Er. I’ve always seen you as my best partner.”
“Yan Yan, this has nothing to do with Xin Er. The news came from me. You’re being hunted now; give me the items. I can ask President to spare your life.”
“Silent, you bitch, stop being so stubborn! Hand over the Mithril Key! Otherwise, none of us will let you go today—”
...
Swallowing the metallic taste in her throat, her fingers tightened and loosened on the Black-Eyed Longbow repeatedly. After several deep breaths, beneath her trembling lashes were a pair of blood-red eyes filled with murderous intent.
Jade Bridge Kengdu, people are watching; cause and effect reincarnate. In this life, you are destined for hell!
The hypocritical smile on that face remained as charming as ever, concealing ambitions and malice that were all too clear beneath the surface.
At the Luo Ran Residence, the leader of the Elite Team, Jade Bridge Kengdu, felt a strong gaze upon him. He furrowed his brows and turned his head to look into the distance, where he could only see a thin figure quickly disappearing from view.
A sense of unease lingered in his heart.
Crimson Dusk, the president of the Blood Red Guild, was launching an attack on Number Three Bss. The president had instructed them to give their all in support; they had to secure the Stone Spider Lair without any mistakes.
Suppressing his anxiety, he confirmed the information with his team once more before hastily heading towards Back Mountain Cave.
On the way back to the village, a gray figure was sprinting swiftly.
Suddenly, she came to a halt, standing rigidly in place.
"Wulang, what activities are happening at Luo Ran Residence and with the Blood Red Guild today?"
In less than a minute, Jiang Wulang's message arrived.
"Stone Spider Lair."
Upon receiving the answer she sought, Yan Yan raised an eyebrow and a cruel smile crept onto her lips. She caressed the cold body of her bow and let out a light chuckle, "Hmph—"
Turning around, she dashed off in the opposite direction.
At the cave entrance, Jade Bridge Kengdu looked at the ground littered with unrefreshed Stone Spider Silk corpses and frowned. He asked warily, "Which team has already cleared this area?"
"Not our people."
"Really?"
"Indeed not. The entire team is on their way here, and the Second Team has been sent out to mine. There are only five of the Blood Color members at this spawn point, and the Blood Color Guild Leader just sent word that they will arrive shortly."
"Then what about the Stone Spider Silk corpses on the ground?" The dark tone made the other person's eyes flicker, and they opened their mouth but couldn't respond.
"Investigate! Find out immediately! Confirm all player information in the surrounding area. Identify every player who appeared within fifteen meters just a moment ago. This time, we cannot afford any mistakes with the BSS—go quickly!"
"Yes, I'm on it!"
The hurried figure left with a hint of trepidation, colliding with Crimson Dusk and four other Blood Color members who were rushing over. After briefly explaining the situation, they left under the oppressive gaze of the others.
"Jade Bridge, did you hear that someone has been scouting around here?" Crimson Dusk's commanding voice carried a hint of darkness. "Is it someone from the Limitless Alliance?"
"Blood Color Guild Leader, we are currently confirming the information. I just checked, and the players who scouted did not enter the cave. From the footprints, it seems there was only one person; most likely, it was just a regular player doing a quest."
"Foolish! How could a regular player handle all this Stone Spider Silk? Where's your brain? Didn't Big Fish Eats Fish teach you how to think?"
The anger surged forth, crashing down on the young man before him.
The young man lowered his eyes, a flash of resentment passing before he looked up again, his expression calming as he addressed the Blood Color Guild Leader. "Blood Color Guild Leader, the BSS is still in the cave. We should focus on securing it first. As for everything else," his eyes were clear, showing no trace of grievance as if the earlier tirade had been a mere illusion, "I've already arranged for people to watch nearby. If anyone approaches, we'll be notified. I just received word that members of the Limitless Alliance are at the quarry farming Stone Mice and have no intention of coming to steal the BSS."
After a calm analysis, Crimson Dusk's expression softened slightly.
"Brother Qin is right; Jade Bridge's words hold truth. Let's secure the BSS first. We can address any issues once we receive more information. Pursuing this matter now would not be wise."
The woman's gentle voice rang out as she tucked her long hair behind her ear, a serene and warm smile gracing her face.
"That's right, Brother Qin. Let's take on Bss first. I've never seen Bss before; let it see what I can do," she said confidently, pointing her finger at the young man standing in front of Crimson Dusk. With an air of superiority, she scoffed, "You must be Jade Bridge Kengdu, right? Hmph, you can't even handle a simple task. I’ll tell Brother Fish about this and have him remove you as Leader. Don’t be angry, Brother Qin~ Let’s just tackle Bss!"
Crimson Dusk suppressed his irritation, ignoring the woman's incessant chatter. He caught sight of the gentle woman's calm smile, which eased his unease. He looked down at the eager Fei Se Hong Yan and said, "Fei, stick with Xue'er for a bit. She has already learned Recovery Spell and can take care of you." Turning to Mu Ningxue, a fleeting glimmer appeared in his eyes as he wore a warm smile and added, "Xue'er, please keep an eye on Fei's Health Bar."
His tone then shifted, becoming more commanding as he directed his focus back to Jade Bridge Kengdu. "You and your team will follow my orders during the Bss run. There must be no mistakes."
The authoritative tone of someone used to giving orders made the recently arrived members of Luo Ran Residence tense up, and they nodded involuntarily.
Jade Bridge Kengdu responded with a compliant smile, bowing his head in acknowledgment.
Only his right hand, clenched tightly behind his back, betrayed his facade.
Yan Yan watched from a tree above, coldly observing the man below who was clearly filled with anger yet forced himself to appear nonchalant.
Truly hypocritical as always—Jade Bridge Kengdu.
