Chapter 87: The Colored Spider

July 2, 2023Ai Hrist

It has been more than a month since autumn in the game world, and now the temperature in the morning was getting lower every day, and more and more people can’t bear to wear long-sleeved trousers.

The autumn wind swayed Lu Jiu’s ponytail from side to side, and a few strands of hair fluttered onto her fair cheeks.

They just finished running a simulated battle in the training room. And now, when they came out of the city-state, they met the waves of brown iron-level wild monsters within 10 minutes.

But now the chance of encountering wild monsters was much higher than before, Zhuang Yun guessed: “The number of wild monsters nearby is increasing…won’t there be a beast tide in autumn?”

Lu Jiu thought it was indeed the case: “Maybe, but look at the cannons and crossbows on the walls of our city-state, they are not easy to mess with.”

She was very grateful for her straightforwardness and wisdom, and she was directly promoted to a third-tier city-state.

“What do you think?” She asked Shen Jufeng next to her.

The other party just glanced around and saw no wild monsters appear before slowly saying: “I don’t know, I’m not an NPC. Anyway, when there are a lot of wild monsters, I only need to spend more time killing them, I can get a lot of resources. And I have the confidence to deal with the beast horde.”

This beast tide has always been a thorn in everyone’s mind, but it still hasn’t come yet.

Several people were chatting on the road and discussing what they should do when the beast horde came. While talking, the three of them seemed to sense something in an instant.

They were standing on the side where the sunlight was. Shen Jufeng looked at the transparent silk thread in front of his eyes and followed the source.

He saw more than a dozen spiders staring at them, standing at the same height as them, and those compound eyes densely reflected their figures.

Seeing this situation, the other two immediately got goosebumps.

“Shit!” Zhuang Yun cursed.

Although it was smaller than the spider they encountered before, it was even more scalp-numbing to see their full body range up close because of the smaller size.

“It’s bugs again.” Lu Jiu didn’t want to encounter bugs anymore. She thought Jinjiang District was mostly mammals like deer, wolves, and tigers, but she didn’t expect there to be a lot of bugs.

Shen Jufeng has already taken out his long sword: “Don’t say that, the resources given by the bugs are also quite a lot.”

These dozen or so spiders were all brown iron mutation-level wild monsters, each with bright colors, and humans naturally feel poisonous to such colorful insects.

[Colorful Spider]

(brown iron variation level)

HP: 5000

Attack: 199-336

Defense: 56

Dexterity: 23

Characteristics: This is a magical bug. The silk threads it produces can be used in many ways. Making silk threads that are added to colorful spiders has a chance to improve the item’s grade and quality.

As soon as Lu Jiu saw that the silk threads of the colorful spiders had such a high effect, she instantly felt that the dozens of colorful spiders were not so scary, but rather cute. They were a walking treasure trove!

Zhuang Yun’s daughter needs silk thread to make a backpack, and it happened that these colorful spiders delivered themselves to his door, and he was also happy to see the feature introduction.

The group of colorful spiders ran towards them quickly with their long legs, and they were still spitting out silk threads.

Zhuang Yun himself was not agile enough. When he saw the silk thread coming towards him, he reflexively used his left hand to block it. As a result, his left hand was entangled, and he couldn’t shake it off. The silk thread was too sticky, and he couldn’t break free no matter what.

Zhuang Yun said: “The silk they spit out is very tough.”

The other end of the silk thread was one of the colorful spiders. Seeing that it hit the target, it began to collect the silk thread, trying to pull Zhuang Yun over.

Zhuang Yun raised his hand and swung his sword to cut off the silk thread. Fortunately, the grade of his giant sword was not low, otherwise, he might not be able to cut it.

Seeing that the silk thread was cut off, a few colorful spiders sprayed out a few more silk threads, Lu Jiu and Shen Jufeng directly equipped their wings and flew to the sky to get out of the way.

Zhuang Yun: I feel abandoned…

He was alone on the ground, and he was directly regarded as the most conspicuous target.

“You hold on, I’ll attack.” Shen Jufeng calmed down Zhuang Yun with a few simple words.

Zhuang Yun was no longer afraid of those silk threads. He raised his sword and rushed toward the colorful spider. Lu Jiu pulled her bow and shot an arrow not far away, but she never get too close to the battlefield.

Shen Jufeng rushed towards the colorful spider from the air by the force of gravity, and the windbreaker he wore was fluttering with the wind, quite a heroic demeanor.

When Zhuang Yun slashed with his giant sword, he found that the colorful spider was moving very slowly and was directly hit.

*Zizi——*

After being hit, the colorful spider burst into anger and was about to jump directly on Zhuang Yun’s front, its fangs faintly visible.

It was just a pity that Shen Jufeng fell from the sky and directly stabbed it in the head so that this colorful spider was completely nailed to the ground and could only wave and scream a few times.

After pulling out his sword and sweeping it across, several colorful spiders couldn’t get close to him. Not far away, Lu Jiu was sparing no effort to aim at the colorful spiders that were close to her two teammates.

The colorful spiders didn’t just fight to the death with the two people who were in close combat. Seeing someone throwing arrows in the back not far away, a few of them gathered together and ran toward Lu Jiu.

Lu Jiu continued to shoot unhurriedly, anyway, she could fly into the sky.

The effect of the hitting skill made her arrows hit every shot, and it also made the colorful spider angrier. When she was still more than ten meters away from her, Lu Jiu pushed the string a little harder and left the ground to continue shooting.

Several colorful spiders lay their heads down to accumulate power, and then move forward with force, spit out silk threads, because the silk threads were transparent, it’s not good to dodge each one.

Lu Jiu had an intuition that something was wrong, so she flew away from this area quickly. The silk threads of a few colorful spiders fell through the air, but they were persistent enough to stare at the person in the air.

Shen Jufeng saw that Lu Jiu was entangled by a few colorful spiders, so he knew that there would be no danger and left him there. After observing like this for two seconds, a colorful spider took advantage of the loophole to jump and fly.

Although these colorful spiders can’t fly, they have great jumping abilities.

The colorful spider flew in, and Shen Jufeng was not polite, he took advantage of the situation and slashed with his long sword, the jumping one was directly split into two halves and turned into light spots.

Zhuang Yun’s battle situation was also not bad. His huge sword was very powerful, and the weight of the sword itself plus his force can cause explosive damage with almost every blow.

His two skills were sharp weapons and heavy blows, one uses weapons to increase damage by 30%, and the other hits important parts to randomly double the damage. At this level, it can deal with many wild monsters, like a living meat grinder.

There were 18 colorful spiders in total, four of them ran to besiege Lu Jiu, and Shen Jufeng and Zhuang Yun took care of the rest.

Besides, these colorful spiders have thick blood, and silk threads are annoying, nothing else, so it was not that difficult to solve.

Fourteen of them were quickly killed here, and there was only one left on Lu Jiu’s side. The silk thread that this one spit out at the end was entangled with her. Not to mention the colorful spider’s strength was not small, if it gets entangled with someone, it immediately uses force to pull down.

She was not in a hurry and continued to attack with an arrow. Originally, the last one only had more than 1,000 blood. After a few arrows and a critical strike, it was killed before it could be pulled down and turned into a light spot.

After the colorful spiders disappeared, the silk threads they left behind were like lost stickiness, floating slowly to the ground. Lu Jiu reached out to pick up the silk thread, and sure enough, the system prompted her to get a colorful spider silk thread.

Now these silk threads were not transparent, but faintly shining silk threads, which were easy to distinguish when they fall on the ground. She picked up all the silk threads, which was a good thing.

Killing four colorful spiders gave her 6 bundles of colorful spider silk threads, which she can’t hold with one hand. After all, there were too many of them.

In addition to these, there were dozens of colorful spider eggs. This was the first time she has obtained such items as eggs.
