Chapter 33
033 Runic Cave Spider Queen
Runic World. Within the Labyrinth of Caves, in the spider lair!
Suddenly, a war cry was let out.
“Die, f**ker!”
Wu Wei noted that Yellow’s war cry was similar to Zhou Tian’s.
It was like a deafening thunder strike!
Somehow, it seemed that Yellow had learned to imitate not just Zhou Tian’s tone but also his arrogant demeanor.
It was a first for Wu Wei.
The spiders in the lair were stirring in response to Yellow’s roar.
In an instant, tens of hundreds of spiders could be seen swarming towards Yellow in droves. Still, Yellow turned around and ran without hesitation. He quickly arrived at the location where Wu Wei had instructed him to lure the spiders.
The frontmost spiders began shooting webs at Yellow body but to no avail. The small amount that landed on his head and legs were also swiftly dealt with by Yellow with his knife.
However, the spiders were still closing in, and they soon arrived within three meters of Yellow.
At this time, the ground suddenly became soft and muddy, and the Cave Spider began sinking. The next second, the muddy ground became stiff again, and the cave spider found themselves entrapped once more.
The Golem Doll had taken half an hour of preparation for this move. Although it had not consumed all of its spiritual power, it was at the cost of 1 Runic Pill.
And all of it was just to stop the spiders for 8 seconds!
However, eight seconds was plenty. Simultaneously, Yellow activated his [Yellow Turban Strength] and initiated a slaughter.
Yellow had a clear target. Brushing past the ordinary cave spiders, he charged straight for an Elite Cave Spider Queen’s Guard and killed it with one slash.
After killing it, Yellow quickly picked up the dropped items and began to return to where the rest of the spiders had been entrapped.
When Yellow reached them, eight seconds passed, and the cave spiders regained mobility. However, the outcome was inevitable.
As the massacre continued, Yellow casually gathered drops as he slew the spiders.
During the entire process, Wu Wei was watching with a [Lesser Purifying Rune] in one hand and his Book of Runes in the other, ready to help Yellow get out of trouble at any moment.
However, the situation was much better than Wu Wei had expected.
Yellow quickly returned to Wu Wei’s side with minimal damage received.
Wu Wei estimated that Yellow’s still had a third of stamina left in the tank, and the [Yellow Turban Strength] would last for close to another minute.
Nonetheless, Wu Wei chose not to pursue battle and pressed ‘log-out.’
Although he had already resolved to abuse the logout tactic, Wu Wei did not plan to use it at the most critical moment like last time.
Since he had resolved to abuse it, he might as well use it as and when he could to serve as practice.
Moreover, it was also a form of vigilance not to use it only in the most critical moment. In this way, if something unexpected happened and he could not log out, Wu Wei would still not be completely caught off-guard.
After going offline, Wu Wei immediately meditated to recover.
This time, Golem had consumed a lot of energy. Yellow, on the other hand, was still okay. He recovered in less than an hour.
After Yellow recovered, Wu Wei went online again and killed another wave of monsters.
With this method, Wu Wei took down forty to fifty cave spiders twice and killed two elite monsters in the process.
Half of the monsters in the spider’s lair had been cleared. If things went smoothly, he only needed to use the baiting tactic twice more to completely clear the lair.
However, things were not that simple. Runic Monsters were not fools – especially elite monsters and bosses. They possessed a certain level of intelligence.
Therefore, Wu Wei knew he could not use the same trick again. It would definitely not work for the third time.
However, everything was still within Wu Wei’s expectations.
When Wu Wei had logged out the second time, he had gone to sell all of the loot he had received from the last two rounds, save for one: [Antidote]. His luck was not very good with the drops, so he had only earned 87 Runic Stones…
It was not much, but it was enough for Wu Wei to buy a bottle of [Runic Pills] and a [Fireball Rune].
Wu Wei felt that a Fireball Rune was just what he needed in this situation.
“In the past, I thought that no one would be stupid enough to spend 50 Runic Stones for just three attacks. I didn’t expect that I would be that fool today!”
Wu Wei took out the [Uncommon] grade [Fireball Rune] that had cost him 50 Runic Stones and aimed into the center of the nest where the most spiders were congregated.
Spider silk was flammable, and Wu Wei had also ordered Yellow to place a bottle of gasoline there.
As placing an item was not considered an attack, Yellow could easily do so under [Spider Disguise].
Thus, the flames erupted and spread at a breakneck speed when Wu Wei fired the fireball.
Spiders were naturally afraid of fire. The moment the flames appeared, the spider lair instantly fell into chaos.
However, the appearance of a massive spider restored order to the spiders.
This spider was 2 meters long and 60 to 70 centimeters tall. Wu Wei squinted, and the spider’s attributes appeared before him.
..
Name: Runic Cave Spider Queen
Quality: Elite-
Level: 10
Skills:
1. Queen’s Majesty –
Passive: Able to control spider subjects, providing a boost to their strength)
Active: Able to repel foes.
2. Spiderweb Manipulation (Able to place and control webs)
3. Deadly Poison Fangs (One bite will finish you!)
..
When the Spider Queen got up, the panicking spiders instantly calmed down.
At the same time, many spiders began to throw themselves toward the burning areas, using their silks and even their bodies to extinguish the fire.
Seeing this scene, Wu Wei gave Yellow the decisive order.
“Seize the initiative and kill it!”
At the same time he gave the order to Yellow, Wu Wei raised his hand and threw another fireball at the Spider Queen.
Before the fireball landed on the Queen, one of the Queen’s guards rushed out and used its body to block the fireball.
Because their attributes countered each other, the fireball directly ignited the guard.
At the same time, another roar echoed throughout the cave.
“F**ker, die!”
Yellow activated Yellow Turban Strength as he leaped towards the Spider Queen. With the Treant Longsword in his hand, he unleashed an unbelievably explosive slash at the boss.
Faced with this powerful and unexpected slash, the Spider Queen had no time to dodge. She could only raise her claws and muster up a spiderweb to block, but it was to no avail.
With his 2.5 strength, Yellow directly severed two of the Spider Queen’s legs, and he continued to slash at the Queen’s body.
However, the Queen’s resistance had not been in complete vain. At this critical moment, she shot out web to wrap around Yellow’s sword. Unfortunately for the boss, the Treant Longsword still reached its target. Even though the cushioned impact prevented the blow from killing it, it was still brutally wounded.
“Die, f**ker!”
Yellow was about to take advantage of the opening to deal a finishing blow when the Spider Queen suddenly uttered a sharp cry. A mysterious force erupted from its body and repelled Yellow, pushing him away.
However, although Yellow was pushed away, its fate had been sealed.
Wu Wei had activated the last shot of [Fireball Rune] at this critical juncture. This time, as there was no guard to tank the blow for the boss, the Fireball successfully landed on the Queen’s already mangled body, finishing it…
