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

In just a few breaths, Lin Mo and Yin Xue were once again sprayed out by a spider web.

Lin Mo rolled over and landed, while Yin Xue fell hard on his buttocks.

She clutched her bottom, complaining, "Couldn't you have been a little gentler?"

Before the two of them, the two little spiders that had led the way were already waiting.

As soon as they saw Lin Mo emerge from the spiderweb tunnel, they immediately stood up on their own.

The compound eye immediately locked onto the spider egg in his arms, which was protected by special energy.

The compound eyes of the two little spiders instantly revealed an anthropomorphic expression of excitement.

They all lowered their heads and touched the ground with their foremost legs.

He performed a strange yet solemn ceremony.

Then they raised their heads again.

It started chirping and chattering at Lin Mo.

The eight legs kept gesturing.

Pointing to the deep, winding passages of the middle-level mine.

Lin Mo naturally couldn't understand what they were saying, so he turned to look at Yin Xue.

Yin Xue listened intently for a moment, then flew back to Lin Mo's shoulder.

The translator said, "They said that, in gratitude, the Spider King has ordered that you may freely hunt all the Dark Ink Spiders in this middle layer. They... are nourishment that the Spider King specially left for you to enhance your strength."

Lin Mo's expression immediately became somewhat strange.

This is... so thoughtful!

They even prepared a leveling area and monsters for him?

His original plan was to leave the mine and go deeper into the dark forest to find new and stronger monsters.

After all, they had just reached an agreement with them, and then turned around and slaughtered her people.

It doesn't make sense from either a moral or logical standpoint.

It seemed that they had noticed Lin Mo's hesitation.

Yin Xue patted his neck with her little paw and explained, "Don't feel guilty."

"The Dark Ink Spider race has a unique structure. Only individuals with advanced intelligence, like those below and these two messengers, can be considered true members of the race."

"These middle and upper-level spiders are just ordinary spiders that act on instinct. They are no different from ordinary monsters. It doesn't matter how many die."

After hearing this explanation, Lin Mo finally understood.

This is similar to the social structure of ants or bees.

While worker ants and bees exist in large numbers, it is the queen ant and the queen bee who truly maintain the entire colony.

Once he understood this, his minor concerns vanished instantly.

Improving our skills and returning home as soon as possible is our top priority!

"good!"

He no longer hesitated, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

The black sword in his hand emitted a longing hum once more.

He swung his black sword, and a flash of light cleaved a dark ink spider in two.

Half a second later, another sword light appeared out of thin air and swept across the spot where it had been slashed.

The Dark Ink Spider's massive body was instantly split in two.

Meanwhile, the Wind Wolf King in its spirit form was also wreaking havoc on all sides!

With the addition of these two new skills, Lin Mo's kill efficiency has more than doubled.

Yin Xue waved her hand, and a cloud of blood mist enveloped the spider eggs.

When the blood mist dissipated, the spider eggs had also disappeared, clearly having been collected by her.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

After doing all this, Yin Xue flapped its little wings and chased after them.

……

Upper level of the mine shaft.

This place was much quieter than the massacre in the middle level.

Five hours have passed since we entered the cave.

The warriors were exhausted, and the sounds of fighting gradually subsided.

Meanwhile, Su Lin was following closely behind the mirror image left behind by Lin Mo.

The clone silently and efficiently cleared away any Dark Ink Spiders it encountered along the way.

She was responsible for picking up the fallen spider fangs from behind.

The small burlap sack that had been empty around her waist was now bulging.

Clearly, the harvest during this period was extremely fruitful.

She skillfully used the dagger she carried to cut off a spider tooth.

He raised his head and looked at the silent figure wielding a sword in front of him.

His brows furrowed slightly involuntarily, and he murmured, "I don't know if it's just my imagination... but I feel like you're getting stronger and stronger..."

These words sounded like they were being spoken to a clone, or perhaps like they were talking to oneself.

In fact, this was not her imagination.

When Lin Mo first created this clone, his own attributes were around 500 points. The clone inherited 20% of these attributes, which amounted to about 100 points.

While it's possible to defeat ordinary spiders on the upper levels, it sometimes requires some maneuvering.

Now, Lin Mo's physical attributes have approached 1000 through breakthroughs and killings!

The clone attribute will increase accordingly!

Dealing with these ordinary spiders that are only around level 10 is a piece of cake.

Although Su Lin did not understand the principle behind becoming stronger through clones.

But her intuition told her that this must be related to Lin Mo's true form.

She could only marvel once again at Lin Mo's mystery and power.

She patted her heavy spoils: "Why worry about all that? With so many spider fangs, it seems the skill essence for first place in this trial is definitely mine!"

Just as she was secretly delighted.

"Teacher Su Lin?"

A male voice, tinged with surprise and a hint of uncertainty.

Suddenly, it came from around the corner of a side road.

Upon hearing this, Su Lin's smile froze.

He immediately stood up alertly and looked in the direction of the sound.

The one who emerged from the shadows was none other than himself.

It was Wang Tong, dressed in shiny leather armor, holding a glowing spear, with a look of surprise and inquiry on his face.

Wang Tong had previously teamed up with another hero named Zhao Qian, planning to rob the other heroes and adventurers when they were exhausted.

The two of them had been hiding, but now, through a sneak attack, they have successfully captured several squads.

The large cloth bag that Wang Tong had specially prepared around his waist was already quite full and looked heavy.

He originally wanted to end the trial as soon as possible.

Then, he appeared before everyone with a record of overwhelming victory, allowing Su Lin to see his strength and thus change her mind.

I never expected to run into Su Lin at this fork in the road.

And then there's Lin Mo, Su Lin's teammate, whom he hates to the core.

Of course, he didn't know that this Lin Mo was just an avatar.

When Su Lin saw that the person who came was Wang Tong, although she didn't have a good impression of him, he was someone she knew after all.

It's better than encountering a strange enemy or a vicious monster.

She subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

He put away the dagger that he had been gripping tightly, which was emitting a faint glow.

"Wang Tong? It's you."

Her tone carried a hint of relaxation after exhaustion.

Wang Tong immediately put on a concerned smile and quickly stepped forward.

"Teacher Su Lin, I'm so glad you're alright! I've been looking for you..."

His gaze unconsciously drifted to the small burlap sack at Su Lin's waist.

A hint of undisguised shock flashed deep in his eyes.

So many fangs! How did Teacher Su Lin get them?

Just as he was pondering, a series of hurried footsteps approached.

Wang Tong's teammate, Zhao Qian, ran back from the other end of the path, panting heavily.

He was carrying a small, blood-stained sack that he had clearly stolen, and his face showed a mixture of smugness and embarrassment.

"Wang Tong! Where did you run off to? Damn it, that kid Chen Bo is already level 9, and he even brought two teammates! I went through so much trouble, almost getting wiped out, to steal all their loot!"
