Chapter 29: The Demon Spider

For Ling Xiao, who is setting off again, the mental preparation he needs to make is not to muster up courage, but to suppress his ever-rising pride and complacency.

no way.

With a powerful ability to kill opponents of higher levels and a luxurious stat panel, anyone would have to stand up straight when speaking.

[lv4 (21%): Owl]

【Talent: Gluttony [Innate] (Nocturnal Animal, Environmental Adaptation, Soul Resistance, Mind Reading), Bloodlust】

【Attribute: Free attribute points (0)】

[Equipment: Iron spear, sturdy arm guards, reliable machete, custom map, punctual watch]

Just in case, let [August 1st Cleaver] stand aside first.

Based solely on paper strength, Ling Xiao could confidently ask the remaining nine thousand-plus people:

"Who else!?"

The extra freedom attribute that comes with the upgrade was added to [Spirit].

The Soul Badger and the Illusionary Demon inflicted immense "damage" on Ling Xiao's fragile soul.

He probably doesn't have PTSD subjectively, but objectively he might actually have some PTSD.

While other explorers cried and screamed over their bleeding, mutilated wounds, Ling Xiao always returned in a sorry state, unable even to bandage his wounds.

It's like trying to scratch an itch without actually touching it.

pain!

It hurts so much!

Because I'm afraid of pain, I'll prioritize increasing my Spirit stat, which represents my soul and health.

The panel does not provide precise definitions for various attributes, so Ling Xiao can only summarize some ambiguous concepts from his personal experience.

Strength and agility go without saying; those who know, know.

I don't have much experience with spirituality or perception, so I dare not speak carelessly.

But he has some experience in physical and mental aspects.

The former includes endurance, physical strength, the speed of injury recovery, and various physical resistances and resilience.

For example, toxic resistance.

Excluding other factors, people with strong constitutions will vomit white foam for a longer time even when poisoned compared to people with weak constitutions.

The latter is a data-driven representation of the depth of one's soul, including potential attributes such as soul resistance.

In the two previous battles against the Soul Badger family, the presence or absence of the [Soul Resistance] bonus had an extremely significant impact on the situation!

Before stepping into the gray fog, Ling Xiao stopped his random thoughts.

He started taking drugs.

First, take a potion to boost your agility, then put a calming potion and a sleeping charm for monsters into the left and right pockets of your upper garment, respectively.

I wanted to drink it before but couldn't because my stats weren't high enough.

The susceptibility potion requires either physical or mental condition to exceed 5, otherwise the body cannot withstand it.

The effect is a temporary 10% increase to Agility and Perception, lasting for ten minutes, which is quite useful.

With these two improvements, Ling Xiao felt confident enough to prepare talismans and other techniques, wondering if he could use some "tricks" in battle.

After all, constantly using knives to chop and fists to smash is too brutal.

Mixing various potions, talismans, and props together creates an effortlessly elegant look.

As usual, we arrived at the "fishing spot" about 100 meters away from the safe zone.

Lingxiao prepared the "fragrant" bait again and started to bait the area!

The surrounding gray fog continued to swirl menacingly.

A few hours ago, Ling Xiao almost had a nervous breakdown when he stepped into this place.

Several hours later, the hunter who had been waiting patiently for his prey had lost his confusion.

call--

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A dense, incessant screeching sound filled the air.

insect?

Or is it some disgusting thing that looks like a human centipede?

Ling Xiao, completely at ease, even had the mind to recall a strange incident that had caused him to lose his appetite all day.

The answer is revealed!

Insects, but not entirely insects.

When the enemy shows up, it doesn't waste words; although it has this organ, it clearly doesn't want to use it.

The spider's eight legs are long and strong, covered with sharp bristles, with pointed ends that gleam with a glossy black sheen, piercing the ground as easily as needles piercing tofu.

The monster's body was dark gray with dark red spots, and it shimmered eerily in the dim light of the torch.

Its belly is round and covered with hard shells; it's unclear whether it's filled with prey or has stored up enough spider silk as a trump card.

The most terrifying thing is that the monster's head is actually a distorted human face!

Its eyes are large and hollow, and in addition, there are several pairs of black pupils distributed on its forehead, temples and other locations.

The latest novel is first published here!

Its gaping mouth, splitting to its ears, was never closed, with sharp teeth drooping and spittle dripping from its mouth.

A few sparse strands of hair on its head fluttered in the wind, adding to the already bizarre appearance of the spider monster.

A fleeting glimpse!

【Level 5 Human-Faced Spider [Mutant] (Elite)】

[Racial Traits: Night Vision, Illusionary Fainting, Web Weaving, Psychic Interference]

[Racial Skills: Fierce Bite, Poison Web Trap, Human Face Distortion, Eight-Legged Spikes]

【个体属性:力量4/敏捷6/体质4;灵性3/感知5/精神6】

[Individual Description: The Human-Faced Spider is a rare mutated monster, not only because of their scarcity, but also because each spider in this group has a penchant for cannibalism, devouring valuable "human faces" to evolve itself. This results in the spiders that survive being almost exclusively elite-level!]

Another level 5 monster!

And it's an elite monster!

Even among the strange and corrupted species we encountered before, none of them were rare monsters beyond the ordinary!

Ling Xiao only managed to glean the information about the elite level from watching the channel.

Wow, the "bait" I bought on a whim was so effective!

Last time, it directly lured in the filthy creatures; this time it's even more outrageous—even level 5 elite monsters couldn't resist the temptation.

In this light, we can't blame the Illusionary Demon for launching a sneak attack.

Maybe they were actually quite far away, but the smell alone made them drool.

But seriously, this spider demon dares to use that name!?

There is already a way to die!

Its spear-like forelimbs thrust out the instant they spotted their target.

The human-faced spider moved with incredible speed.

Moreover, the distorted expression on its "face" reveals its instinctive excitement and undisguised bloodlust.

but.

Light is the fastest!

While confirming the enemy's information, Ling Xiao also launched his own attack.

Without any intention of charging up, the Gathering Spirit Light Slash, combined with the instantly fired Soul-Sucking Piercing Strike, struck the rapidly approaching Human-Faced Demon Spider simultaneously!

An elite monster truly lives up to its name.

At least Ling Xiao had only glimpsed the six-dimensional attributes, which included both physical body and soul, in the Fallen Corpse before.

But the Human-Faced Demon Spider's [Spirit] stat is only six points, which doesn't seem very high...

The pure white light blade, which was not imbued with much spiritual power, failed to achieve its goal in one strike.

The two spider legs, which resembled iron spears, were slashed with huge gashes, but they wobbled and stubbornly did not break.

"hiss!"

A low-frequency shriek squeezed out of the abnormally wide mouth of the person.

The Soul-Draining Piercing Technique hit its mark, and the effect was extraordinary!

The human-faced spider's forward momentum faltered, and its remaining legs nearly lost their footing.

Take advantage of its illness and make it sick!

I've already said I'm ready to die, so obediently leave me here and loot my equipment!
