Please be my partner.

So what we need to do next is to learn more about the origins of these giant spiders.

Thinking of this, Melen turned his gaze to the golden giant eagle that was already dying and could die at any time.

After an unknown amount of time, Yin Re's consciousness slowly recovered from the chaos. He opened his eyes dazedly, and suddenly recalled the last scene before he fell into a coma. His body suddenly bounced up, and then he fell to the ground again in severe pain all over his body.

At this time, a voice came: "You'd better not get so excited. The bandaged wound has split open."

Yin Re then realized that he was not bound by spider silk. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a slightly strange scene...

A human boy was holding up a giant leg of a Hell Spider in front of a pitch-black flame, and was... grilling it?!

Next to it was a palm-sized red puppy, happily chewing on an unknown fruit. In front of the red puppy were various fruits piled up like a small hill.

"What's going on now? Wasn't I captured by the Underworld Spider?"

Yin Re's mind was a little confused, and he couldn't figure it out for a moment.

After a while, Yin Re gradually figured out the current situation. He first glanced at the bright red bandage on his body. It was caused by the violent movements when he just woke up, which caused the wound to burst.

However, what surprised Yin Re was that the deadly poison that had penetrated deep into its bone marrow had been completely eliminated, and there was no residual hidden danger at all.

You know, in Yin Re's estimation, even if it could escape with its life, in order to expel the deadly poison that was clinging to its bones, the saint ancestor of the clan would have to take action, and the time could not be delayed too long.

Yin Re asked, "It was you who saved me?"

Mellen roasted the spider legs with great interest and said casually, "Obviously."

Yin Re said seriously, "I, Yin Re of the Golden Feather Clan, will never forget the favor you showed me today. Human boy, tell me your name."

Melun looked at Yin Re with a hint of interest in his eyes and said, "You can call me Melun."

Yin Re nodded and said, "Okay, Melen, I think we should go. The Underworld Spiders have somehow arrived at the Broken Land early. There are quite a lot of them, and they are hunting all the life that enters the Broken Land. This highly toxic area is their hunting ground. They will lure or drive prey from nearby areas here, making the hunt easier."

After Yin Re finished speaking, he thought the boy would be worried, but he didn't seem to be worried at all. Instead, he asked excitedly, "So, there are a lot of these giant spiders here?!"

Yin Re nodded in a daze.

Mellen cut open the almost roasted spider leg in his hand and looked at the gray meat inside. He hesitated for a moment. The roasted spider leg didn't look very good, but it smelled and tasted pretty good.

In the spirit of trying everything before being qualified to comment, Mellen took a bite, completely forgetting that he was teaching Xiao Honglian not to eat everything.

It is worth mentioning that all the toxin-related components in the spider legs have been cleaned in advance by the Dog of Corruption, so Melen is not afraid of getting an upset stomach.

Well, the pile of fruits in front of Xiao Honglian was also cleaned up.

"Hmm~"

Mellen frowned and chewed for a while, then swallowed it. It had a strange taste, but it wasn't that bad.

He said to himself, "Sure enough, I shouldn't expect the original flavor. I should have added some soul-stirring barbecue sauce!"

After giving a fair evaluation of the Purgatory Dragon Flame Roasted Spider Leg, Melen looked at Yin Re, who was staring at him intently, and said with a smile, "Would you like to have a bite? It actually tastes pretty good."

Yin Re immediately shook his head wildly like a rattle.

What a joke, that's a netherworld spider. Even if part of its body is buried underground, it will cause horrific life in a large area of polluted land.

Melen didn't mind the failure to share the food. His expression became more serious and he asked, "While there's still time, tell me about this netherworld spider."

Chapter 270 Hunting 1

After the initial surprise, Yin Reying showed a bitter smile on his face. What Mellen wanted to express was already quite clear. Yin Reying was not a cowardly eagle, so he naturally gave up the idea of running away.

Yin Re came to the black fireball. He didn't feel any temperature from the black flames, but after staring at it for a while, he would have the illusion that his soul was being burned.

Soon Yin Re realized that it might not be an illusion.

Retracting his gaze, Yin Re looked at the young man who was still gnawing on the spider's leg with great interest. After a moment's thought, he said, "The Underworld Spiders are a powerful spiritual race, but they exist somewhere between order and chaos. They also have some colonies within stable spiritual nodes. They are extremely xenophobic and will drive away any life that attempts to communicate with them. If you attempt to force your way into their nest, you will be killed."

"According to the intelligence gathered by our Golden-Winged Eagles, the Netherworld Spiders have even larger colonies in the chaotic areas of the spirit world. In these chaotic areas, they are not as 'friendly' as they were in the stable nodes. Instead, they will indiscriminately prey on any life they see."

"The Underworld Spider possesses a special power known as 'Netherworld Qi'. Once a normal life form is infected by this power, its essence will be weakened, which manifests itself as a shortened lifespan. Even saints and demigods are not completely immune to this shortening."

"So, at least the spirit world communities in the surrounding spirit world areas are unwilling to actively provoke the Netherworld Spiders."

Mellen nodded slightly. He was still a little scared of the "life poison". If he had not reacted quickly and realized that something was wrong and dodged it in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

This kind of power that targets the essence of life is probably not something that any being with a limited lifespan can be completely immune to. In this world, only great beings who have achieved the seventh level or above can be truly eternal.

In this case, for saints and demigods, it would be a waste of their precious lifespan on a tiny underworld spider.

But then Melen felt something strange and asked doubtfully, "Even if the Nether Earth Spider possesses Nether Aura, it shouldn't be enough to intimidate Saints and Demigods, right? From what I've seen, their methods of using Nether Aura are just so-so. It's not difficult for those of the same level to dodge it, and it seems they become extremely exhausted after using it once."

"If a saint or demigod were to take action, they would be easily killed, right?"

Yin Re shook his head slightly and said, "Indeed, even if the Nether Earth Spider wanted to use the Nether Aura, it wouldn't be that easy. The powerful ones aren't afraid of individual Nether Earth Spiders, but their nests. That's where they were born and where they rest."

"All Nether Spiders that die of natural causes will return to their Netherworld Lair in their final moments. Countless years of accumulation have accumulated there, and unimaginable netherworld energy has gathered. Once detonated, even a demigod within a certain range will be in trouble."

"So, even though the Underworld Spiders often prey on other tribes' exploration teams in chaotic areas, attacking each other in chaotic areas is the unspoken rule among all tribes. As long as the Underworld Spiders don't cause trouble in stable nodes, that's fine."

Melen nodded slightly and muttered to himself, "An unimaginably vast amount of Netherworld Energy? That's truly..."

He looked at Yin Re and asked, "Do you know the specific strength of the Nether Earth Spider in the highly toxic area?"

Yin Re said solemnly, "Very strong! There are perhaps tens of thousands below Legendary level. They don't directly participate in the battle, but instead continuously weave spider web traps within the toxic zone. Leveraging the environment of the toxic zone itself, each third-level Netherworld Spider can exert power within its own spider web traps comparable to Legendary levels."

"There are at least a hundred early and mid-stage Legendary Netherworld Spiders. Half of them remain in the poisonous area to make various arrangements, while the other half are divided into several teams and sent to other areas to hunt or lure other tribes that have come to the Broken Land."

"I vaguely sensed before that there were at least two late-stage Legendary Netherworld Spiders here, and the actual number might be even higher. Furthermore, the highly toxic area is most likely just a base for the Netherworld Spiders. Their overall strength in the Broken Land might be even greater. Perhaps... no, there will definitely be a peak-level Legendary Netherworld Spider leading the team!"

Seeing that Melen's face was thoughtful but not afraid, Yin Re was silent for a moment, then made up his mind and said, "My strength is also in the late Legendary stage. The reason I'm in such a mess is because I fell into a trap. Now that you have helped me detoxify, I just need to stabilize my injuries a little bit, and then I can exert about 70% to 80% of my strength."

"You probably want to deal with those netherworld spiders, right? Count me in, at least we can look after each other."

Melun looked at Yin Re, the surprise in his eyes even more intense, and asked, "You should also understand that it is very dangerous to stay. You may lose your life at any time."

Yin Re said calmly: "It doesn't matter. I got this life for free anyway, so I'll just consider it as returning it to you."

These words made Melen fall into memories.

It was the same with Spike at the beginning. He just fed it a few meals and treated it a little nicely, but that stupid dog was willing to risk its life to repay him.

The same is true for Golden Retriever, who is even more free than Spike.

Fortunately, Mellen's actions have proved that the dogs did not follow the wrong owner.

With a light laugh, Mellen stood up and stretched his arms and legs, then said, "Well, it's almost time to greet our guests."

"Guest?" Yin Re was a little confused at first, then his expression changed drastically and he suddenly turned around to look at the forest in the distance.

A moment later, a rustling sound was heard, and a large number of netherworld spiders appeared in the sight of the two, one mid-legendary, three early-legendary, and hundreds of third-level netherworld spiders.

"Tsk tsk!" Mellen shook his head and laughed, "You came just like that, and even brought some snacks. But you're a bit stingy. This is just a little bit, not even enough for my dog to fill his teeth."

Just as Yin Re was wondering about the meaning of Melen's words, a faint colorful mist filled the sky and earth and quickly became thicker.

As soon as these colorful mists took shape, they immediately rolled towards the Hades Spider. Under this overwhelming encirclement, the Hades Spider had no room to hide.

Although the Hades Spiders are good at using poison, it does not mean that they are immune to the poison. Under the sweep of the colorful mist, the third-level Hades Spiders were immediately poisoned to death, and then strands of gray energy were diluted from their corpses and merged into the colorful mist, making the colorful mist become more and more vivid. Correspondingly, the corpses of the third-level Hades Spiders quickly shriveled up.

The instant annihilation of their subordinates made the four legendary Hades Spiders angry and fearful. They used gray energy to wrap themselves and quickly retreated.

Of course, Mellen couldn't let the dog food he had obtained escape, but this time he didn't need to do it himself. Garuru and Golden Retriever jumped out and cooperated with the Corrupted Dog to stop the four Hades Spiders.

In just a few moments, the three early-stage legendary Hades Spiders fell one after another, and the last mid-stage legendary Hades Spider could not hold out for long under the siege of the three dogs.

Green Mist Dog cheered and started to eat with relish.

Yin Re watched the whole process in amazement, and finally fixed his gaze on the scene where the Corrupted Dog devoured the Netherworld Spider's Netherworld Energy. He finally understood why Melen had to seek misfortune with the Netherworld Spider.

But this is better. For Yin Re, whether it is the hatred of being ambushed or the hatred of his fellow tribesmen being killed, it makes him want to kill the Nether Earth Spider as soon as possible.

Now that Melen has the magical means to restrain and devour the Hades Spider, Yin Re will only be even more ecstatic.

After briefly cleaning up the battlefield, Melen asked, "Yin Re, do those late-stage Legendary Netherworld Spiders live in groups or act alone?"

Yin Re said, "According to their habits, they should set up their trap nests individually, and only move in groups when they go out hunting."

"Oh?"

Melen smiled and asked many questions about the netherworld spiders, such as their habits and daily routines, behavioral patterns, and other powers besides the Netherworld Qi.

Yin Re gave detailed answers one by one.

After a moment, Mellen nodded in understanding, and a simple plan gradually took shape in his mind.

Melen and Yin Re took a detour and began to head deeper into the highly toxic area.

Along the way, Mellen acted as casually as if he was strolling in the garden. Wherever they passed, there would be a faint colorful mist lingering around them. However, this colorful mist was extremely thin and mixed with the poisonous mist emitted from flowers, plants and fruits. It could not be detected at all if one was not careful.

Occasionally Yin Re could hear some movement, but it was usually fleeting. When he got closer, he would find that the corpse of the Hades Spider had turned into a mummy.

…………

In a world full of vast mountains, a hundred-meter-long giant beast is walking leisurely. Wherever it passes, the earth will make a rumbling sound.

Suddenly, a giant claw reached out from the clouds above the sky and grabbed the giant beast directly. Accompanied by a series of chewing sounds, a large amount of blood rain fell down.

After a while, everything returned to silence, and some small beasts of thirty to fifty meters in length came out from their hiding corners and greedily licked the spilled blood.

In a valley, silver flowers swayed faintly as the breeze blew, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing there.

Xinke's eyes flickered as he gazed up at the sky. After a long moment, he sighed helplessly and said, "This behemoth area is truly troublesome. If it were an ordinary peak-level Legendary, we might be able to defeat it together. But this super behemoth is not only a peak-level Legendary, but also possesses some of the power of a Saint's body. We are no match for it at all."

Vic said, "The strength of Saints varies! The Saint who owned this shattered Saint Territory back then was most likely an extremely powerful being among Saints. That's why it's possible for life nurtured by the rules to break free from the limitations of legends and possess some of the power of a Saint."

Xin Ke spread his hands and asked, "So what do we do now? Just sit there and wait?"

Vic looked towards the sky and said, "We were almost discovered by a giant beast just now. It's too dangerous to go out now. Let's wait until night."

"We have Tiana's flower demons covering us here, Lucas's cloaking device, and my mental barrier. The giant beasts can't find us, so we're still safe for the time being."

Xinke shrugged and began to use the Eye of Delusion to observe the outside world.

Tiana shook the petals and said, "Xinke, my flower demon can serve as a guard. You don't need to open the Eye of Delusion all the time."

Xin Ke smiled and said, "I'm just looking at those giant beasts. Doesn't Melen like to keep dogs? I'll look for giant beasts in dog form. If I find one, I'll mark it in advance. Maybe it will be useful."

After hearing what Xinke said, Vic thought for a moment and said meaningfully, "I'm afraid Mellen doesn't just like raising dogs."

Lucas nodded and said, "That's right. If you just like it, there's no need to set both the mechanical lifeforms and the unborn void beasts in dog form."

The two of them stopped talking after each of them said a sentence, and did not have an in-depth discussion on this topic. After all, it involved the privacy of their teammates.

When night falls, although there are still many giant beasts active in the giant beast area, there are far fewer than during the day.

Vic and his companions took advantage of the night and advanced carefully, trying their best to avoid the sight of the giant beast.

The behemoth area is much larger than the areas they have passed through before, or in other words, the closer to the central mountain, the larger the area becomes.

In this way, Vic and his team spent about two days hiding during the day and moving at night, and finally arrived at the edge of the giant beast area without any danger.

Xin Ke smiled and said, "The Giant Beast Area is absolutely a blessed place for professions like Beast Tamers. Although the giant beasts here have inherent flaws due to the rules, they are generally stronger than extraordinary people of the same level in terms of absolute strength. Part-timers have thick skin and strong vitality. Even those who are stronger than them find it difficult to kill them, and even difficult to seriously injure them. Contracting a few such beasts will basically allow you to walk around at the legendary level."

"Especially those giant beasts. If we could make a contract with them, wow! Just thinking about it makes me feel so cool!"

Vic shook his head and said, "Those super beasts have already surpassed the Legendary realm. It's difficult for Legends to contract them! And for Saints, it's also tasteless. After all, they are destined to never break through to become Saints, and Saints can't enter the Broken Land."

Xin Ke said with some regret: "Indeed, what a pity."

Vic clapped his hands and said, "Okay, there's no point in overthinking it. We should get going."

Several people gathered their spirits and entered the next area.

At this time, they were very close to the central peak.

…………

While Vic and his team continued to advance towards the central mountain, Mellen was not idle either.

After more than a day of investigation, Melen had basically figured out the distribution of the Hades Spiders, and after discussing with Yin Re, based on the behavioral habits of the Hades Spiders, he roughly determined the possible locations of several legendary late-stage Hades Spider nests.

During this period, Melen also deliberately killed some third-level netherworld spiders to alert the enemy.

After more than half a day passed, they finally locked down the specific location of the nests of the two legendary late-stage Hades Spiders.

Next, it will be a targeted hunt.

Chapter 271 Hunting 2

"Buzz!~"

A slight trembling sound broke the silence of the forest.
