Chapter 2056 Lake Spider Nest

Rewind 15 minutes, Depp was smoking a mandrake tobacco roll with some frustration, puffing out clouds of smoke.

He began to ponder which link in the chain had gone wrong, forcing him into his current predicament.

Having finally retired from crime and paid off his debts, he should have been on the right track and starting his retirement, but instead, he fell from Azazel into the Rust Gospel.

When they were in Azazel, at least on the surface they had the backing of the largest guild at the time, which made things a little easier and less troublesome. But as soon as they moved to Rust Gospel, Azazel suddenly became their enemy.

If he hadn't already deposited all his belongings in the vault of Hermes's Traveling Hat, he would have been just like any other unfortunate soul, constantly hunted down by Azazel's assassins with their precious possessions that he himself was reluctant to use.

"Oh~~~"

Depp sighed deeply. He actually knew why; it was because those cunning guys were taking advantage of his absence to boost Lucy's favorability.

If you deliberately try to win her favor by giving her gifts, Lucy, being such a little adult, will only maintain a superficial friendliness while silently drawing a line in her heart. But these despicable guys actually used such an invincible trick as sincerity.

Sincerity, this top-tier killer move, made it impossible for Lucy to ignore; she genuinely cared about those people.

"I can tell you're wearing a sour face even before I've seen your face."

A neutral voice came from behind, and Drew turned his head back to reveal a skull face.

"How did you figure out the grumpy face from the skull?"

“Your heart, I mean your heart.” Angel, with a goat’s head and wearing a priest’s robe, made a disgusted face. “If it weren’t for the fact that your profession is really suitable for lustful dungeons, I really wouldn’t want to be your teammate.”

“Likewise.” Depp made no attempt to hide his resistance and disgust.

In short, Angel, whose race is Goat Orc and whose profession is Demon Singer, is a true villain. He has an off-the-charts level of villainy, even though there are no villainous professions, so much so that all professions have become pseudo-villainous professions.

As for how such an exaggerated and qualitative change in his level of depravity came about, Depp didn't want to know.

Angel's dislike for Depp was even simpler: he hated ambivalents, people who were either good or bad. Depp's ambiguous nature made him feel uncomfortable. Seeing Depp was like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder seeing something extremely asymmetrical. He usually avoided Depp.

Teaming up with Depp is truly a perfect match for the Lustful Dungeon, given that Depp's class and race are ideal for it.

The attribute of "Lust" generally implies a large number of enemies. Lust is about reproduction, and Depp, whose race is the King of the Undead, is like a fish in water when facing a large number of enemies.

Any enemy killed by Depp, the Undead King, can be resurrected by him and turned into undead soldiers. Even if the enemy was not killed by Depp, as long as the corpse is within Depp's line of sight, it can also be resurrected as an undead soldier, but it will consume more MP.

Unfortunately, obtaining the Undead King, this special race, requires an incredibly high level of dedication and specific conditions. Starting as a human, you must level up all undead classes to the maximum level, master all undead skills to A proficiency, and finally collect materials from all undead monsters. Only by consuming these classes, skills, and materials can you complete the transformation and obtain the [Undead King LV1].

This is equivalent to compressing all undead-related data into a single race, which naturally possesses all undead-related abilities. Even among all players, only about a hundred people could achieve this level of capability.

Besides the Undead King's terrifying ability to fight against armies, another major factor is the other characteristic of the Lust attribute—charm.

Undead have top-tier resistance to charm, which needs no further explanation. Of course, if the opponent has an exceptional charm that even undead can't withstand, they don't need to struggle anymore; they'll have to find Arcadians who are completely immune to charm.

The two, whose personalities were completely incompatible but whose professions and tactics complemented each other perfectly like positive and negative poles, traveled together to the area of ​​lust.

The Lustful Region is located in one of the lake clusters of orc territory, which, from a distance, resembles an ocean...

That's how it should have been. Depp stopped and reached out to stop Angel, who was standing next to him.

Although Angel and Depp were completely at odds, Angel acknowledged Depp's abilities. He didn't show any dissatisfaction or ask any questions, but instead waited for Depp to provide an explanation.

"It's different from what's shown on the map. This should be a lake, but now it's turned into a spider's nest."

Angel's pupils contracted slightly as the beautiful, misty lake revealed its terrifying fangs.

The mist was made of extremely fine spider silk, floating in the air, almost like smoke. If you walked in step by step without noticing, you would unknowingly be covered in spider silk all over your body, and even your respiratory tract and lungs would be filled with spider silk.

"You can even see something like this?" Angel's goat pupils twitched, and the whites of his eyes turned red. From this special perspective, he saw even more incredible things.

What was once a lake has now become a giant spider's nest; the way it was replaced is truly incredible.

It was as if a paintbrush had drawn a realistic pit on the ground, so realistic that it would give anyone walking on it a real sense of falling. Spider silk kept layering on top of each other, weaving a huge, lifelike lake.

Furthermore, tiny water droplets move along the spider silk, keeping it moist while, like the finishing touch, filling the spider nest lake with moisture without any flaws.

"Where did all the water in this lake, this group of lakes, go?" Depp subconsciously squinted. Although he had no eyelids, the narrowed, elongated soul fire in his eye sockets perfectly expressed his emotions.

"I suggest abandoning this investigation; we shouldn't alert the enemy."

“I hold the opposite view. Stirring up the enemy is never a bad thing.” Angel tightened the sleeves of his priest’s robe, his tone resolute. “If we don’t find out the truth, the real main force will be caught off guard when they arrive here.”

“If necessary, the two of us are willing to sacrifice ourselves here to pass on accurate intelligence from here.”

"Even if I'm the only one, I'll go."
