My mom is waiting for treatment, and you're summoning me to be a hero?

Lin Mo and Yin Xue both heard it clearly.

This is definitely not the roar of a demon.

It is, in fact, the clear and distinct human language.

Lin Mo's hand gripping the black sword tensed instantly.

Yin Xue also shrunk completely behind Lin Mo in a flash.

Only half of its little head peeked out.

Inside the lair, there was a beast king that could speak human language!?

It seemed that they had sensed the almost palpable wariness and tension between the two.

A soft laugh came from behind the door, the laughter still gentle.

With a reassuring tone, he said, "There's no need for you two to be so tense. I invited you down not for a fight, but simply to... ask you for a favor."

The words fell.

All that could be seen was the cave entrance, sealed off by thick spider silk.

The silvery spider silk interwoven on it seemed to have a life of its own, actively sliding to both sides.

An entrance was revealed, large enough for two people to pass side by side.

Behind the door was a deep darkness, from which only a soft female voice could be heard: "Gentlemen, may we come in and have a chat?"

Lin Mo and Yin Xue exchanged a glance.

They both saw deep astonishment and doubt in each other's eyes.

The situation has developed in a way that has completely exceeded their expectations.

However, the other party's willingness to communicate aroused their strong curiosity.

After a moment's thought, Lin Mo nodded slightly to Yin Xue.

The preceding text contains the essence of the skills that enabled me to break through to level 11.

Once he devours it, he will soon be able to see his mother again.

With that thought in mind, Lin Mo decisively took a step forward.

The two of them stepped into the spiderweb door, one after the other.

Upon entering the cave, the sight there made them gasp for breath.

This is an extremely vast underground cave.

The dome hangs high, and the surrounding rock walls are covered with a dense network of spiderweb-like passages, like a honeycomb.

In the center of the cave.

Several elite Dark Ink Spiders, each the size of a small truck, lay prostrate on the ground.

Their carapaces were dark, their compound eyes gleamed with a fierce light, and the aura they exuded was chilling.

[Remember the fastest online novel website: 121999.com]

It was clearly stronger than any elite spider they had encountered before.

Surrounded by these elite spiders.

It was a giant spider that was over ten meters long!

Its lower body is completely spider-like.

Eight pillar-like legs support the mountain-like body.

Its dark carapace gleamed with a metallic sheen.

Without a doubt, this is the Dark Ink Spider King!

However, when Lin Mo and Yin Xue's gazes moved upwards...

When they saw the part above its waist, both of them were stunned.

It was no longer a hideous spider head, but... the naked upper body of a human woman!

Her skin was slightly pale and delicate, with long, black hair that cascaded down like a waterfall.

His face carried an unusual gentleness.

Her body shape is almost identical to that of a normal human woman.

This half-human, half-spider form is full of a paradoxical sense of both eeriness and harmony.

Lin Mo's alarm bells rang loudly, and he cursed inwardly, "It was definitely a trap!"

This setup is clearly a trap to lure you into!

He instantly raised his black sword, its tip pointing at the heavily protected Dark Ink Spider King.

A murderous aura began to emanate from him.

The elite spiders sensed Lin Mo's hostility.

They immediately let out threatening growls and moved forward.

Using its massive body, it constructed a solid barrier in front of the Dark Ink Spider King.

Its sharp feet scraped against the ground, making a harsh scraping sound.

"Calm down! Please calm down!"

Upon seeing this, the Dark Ink Spider Queen quickly raised her human-shaped hands and made a soothing gesture.

Her voice was urgent, "We meant no harm! We really didn't!"

Yin Xue also quickly flew to Lin Mo's ear.

Lowering her voice, her tone tinged with uncertainty, she said, "Don't rush into action. Dark Ink Spiders are social monsters, and this place looks like their palace. They usually don't initiate battles here. Judging from her expression... she doesn't seem to be lying."

Lin Mo was skeptical, but he didn't loosen his grip on the sword; only his killing intent subsided slightly.

He frowned, his gaze piercing as he stared intently at the half-human, half-spider Dark Ink Spider King.

He cut to the chase, his tone icy: "What do you want? Let me make this clear from the start: my goal here is to extract the essence of your skills."

Hearing Lin Mo's blunt and threatening words...

A hint of helplessness and bitterness flashed in the Dark Ink Spider King's purple compound eyes.

She sighed softly.

Beside her, an exceptionally strong elite spider seemed to have received some kind of order.

He turned around quickly and took heavy steps.

It crawled towards the shadowy area behind the Dark Ink Spider King with a clattering sound.

Not long after, it returned.

And in its two sickle-like front paws, it carefully cradled something—

It was an enormous, scimitar-shaped spider claw!

The chelicerae are a deep, dark black color with a smooth surface, as if polished from obsidian.

What's most striking is that these claws are radiating a soft, dark light!

Lin Mo and Yin Xue's pupils suddenly contracted!

The essence of the skill!

The Dark Ink Spider King stared at the claws that shimmered with an inky light.

He explained softly, his voice tinged with reminiscence and sadness: "This is... a relic left behind by the previous Spider Queen, my mother, after her lifespan was exhausted. It is also the essence of her skills."

She raised her purple eyes and looked sincerely at the shocked Lin Mo and Yin Xue:

"I can give it to you. Now, can you talk to me calmly?"

Lin Mo's brows furrowed tightly.

His gaze shifted back and forth between the Dark Ink Spider King's human face and the essence of its skills.

The other party actually took out the essence of the skill and clearly expressed their willingness to give it away?

This completely disrupted his planned strategy of seizing the territory by force.

This also forced him to temporarily suppress the murderous intent surging in his heart.

He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil and doubts in his heart.

The tip of the black sword drooped slightly.

But he wasn't completely off guard, and asked in a deep voice, "What is it that's worth exchanging the essence of the previous Spider King for?"

The Dark Ink Spider King saw that Lin Mo had finally shown a willingness to communicate.

The smile on his face deepened slightly.

She waved her human arm gently.

The elite spiders around them, which had been taut like guards, obediently stepped back, making room for them.

"I knew it... You're different from those humans who indiscriminately kill and plunder."

The Dark Ink Spider King's voice remained gentle, carrying a hint of relief.

She raised her hand and pointed to an object hanging above the cave, tightly wrapped in silvery spider silk, like a giant silkworm cocoon.

As she moved, the spider silk cocoon slowly descended.

It hovered smoothly in front of Lin Mo and Yin Xue.

The spider cocoon unfolded layer by layer like flower petals, revealing what was inside.

It was a round, jet-black sphere, roughly the size of a basketball.

Inside the sphere, a faint sense of life pulsates slowly.

Yin Xue exclaimed in surprise, "Is this a spider egg?"

The Dark Ink Spider King did not deny it, but stared at the black sphere.

A loving aura emanated from her purple eyes.

"This is my child, it... hasn't been officially born yet."

As she said this, she raised her purple eyes and looked at Lin Mo.

His eyes were pleading.

"I beg you to take him away from this mine."
