Chapter 97 Spiders
Li Ming sharpened the shield blades on both sides, shouted and waved, and joined the rescue team.

All cats contributed their water bladders to fill the frog pose and ring-head whipping.

Chuying gave up attacking completely and guided the rock dragon by running around.

After running for three times, Chu Ying suddenly stopped and turned around, took off the green bear tube on her back, and took aim.

The rock dragon seized the opportunity, stepped forward with its claws, and collided with the dragon chariot.

Li Ming, who was holding a sword and shield, suddenly rushed out sideways and started to block.

when!
Just as his feet stood still, the head shell of the rock dragon hit the shield.

Although Li Ming's defensive posture was not broken, his body still couldn't stop sliding backwards.

baah~
As the force of the collision diminished, the slide gradually came to an end.

Bang!Bang!
The level 2 normal projectile is fired and accurately flies into the cutting cracks on the head shell.

Feeling the severe pain, Yanlong raised his body and stepped back.

Li Ming took advantage of the situation and drew back his strength, swinging back to assemble the sword and shield. At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the carapace on the chest of the rock dragon.

Bah~ba!
The shield blade began to rotate and he struck vertically.

呲!呲!
A scraping scream sounded.

Feeling the abnormality in his chest, Yanlong quickly lowered his body.

"Everyone close your eyes, meow!"

After Midoduo shouted, a flash bomb was thrown over.

Suffering from a flash of strong light, the rock dragon convulsed and at the same time, its underdeveloped vision was lost.

The cone-shaped tail covered with rocks turns sideways in self-defense.

Li Ming distanced himself to avoid it, waited for the rock dragon to turn back in front of him, and continued to slash at Hibiki's chest.

Pooh!

The peeled off triangular carapace fell to the ground, and the pale pink muscles were exposed to the air.

Chuying started shooting with level 2 normal single.

Since there is no rock shell protection, the projectile penetrates directly into the body.

The blood spurted out in large areas as if it was being squeezed.

The stone dragon that suffered the severe blow let out a howl, and a large, shiny gelatinous substance slipped out of its eye.

Those are Dragon Tears, valuable actuarial material.

However, the team currently does not have time to collect.

The rock dragon rolled on the spot to avoid its vital points, then stood up with its back to the two men, sweeping backwards with its tail.

In order to avoid the sharpness of the shield blade from wearing out, Li Ming chose to avoid it.

However, after Yanlong successfully forced Li Ming back, he did not turn around and attack.

Bah~ba!
A cloud of purple poisonous mist spurted out from the vent in the abdomen.

The rock dragon digs quickly on the ground with its wing claws.

Seeing the opponent's figure sinking rapidly, Li Ming rushed into the poisonous mist and slashed to intercept.

However, except for the severed chest area, Rock Dragon, who just wanted to evacuate, was completely unafraid of being cut in other parts.

The rock dragon dug into the ground and fled, leaving only a huge dark circular pit on the ground.

Not long after, the backflowing magma quickly filled the circular pit.

"His rock shell can't be soaked in magma for a long time, so he shouldn't be able to escape very far."

Li Ming speculated.

"You'd better drink some antidote first."

Chuying said and handed out the medicine bottle.

"My face looks bad?"

Seeing the worried look in his eyes, Li Ming asked.

"Yeah, it's a little purple."

"Let's fix it briefly first."

Li Ming didn't expect that he would be poisoned just after touching the poisonous mist for a moment.

But it should be a relatively mild one, otherwise I would have already felt it.

I sat on the warm ground, drank half a bottle of antidote, and ate several pieces of barbecue.

After the two cats finished collecting dragon tears, the team continued their pursuit with the scent of the dyed balls remaining.

When approaching the underground river marked on the map, we took a detour to replenish the water.

As the mine is gradually explored deeper, the traces of mining completely disappear.

Judging from the map, the team has reached the core of the lava cave through this branch deep in the mine.

The temperature here has risen again, and much of the ground has been submerged in magma.

But even though the environment is so harsh, there are still fire butterflies flying and fire scarabs crawling on the rock walls.

At first glance, there is a sense of vitality.

Aw~ Aw~
Below the strip passage, a hoarse roar sounded.

The team came to the edge and looked down.

Two red monsters with lizard-like bodies and slender mouths were roaring intimidatingly towards them.

"It's the young lava beast of Yan Gelong."

Li Ming was not surprised by this.

Because the guild has clearly mentioned it in the labeling of monsters deep in the lava cave.

"There won't be any adults around, right?"

Bubu looked around.

"Yangelong should not share an area with Fei Spider. If it does exist, investigators can observe it."

After Li Ming speculated, he raised his sword and shield high and struck it.

throat!throat!
"Humph!"

Hearing Li Ming's cold snort, the lava beast jumped up and dug its sharp beak into the ground.

"Midodo! Bubu! Get on your back!"

After Li Ming shouted, the two cats quickly ran behind the two of them.

Gollum~ Gollum~
Seeing the soil beneath his feet rise, the lava beast's rotating beak appeared.

Li Ming took two steps back and assembled the shield and axe.

Half of the lava beast's body emerged from the soil, and the ax blade was swung horizontally.

puff~
A lava beast was cut in half on the spot.

As soon as the other one emerged from the ground, it was killed by Chuying with a shotgun.

Six white fog balls are suspended from the ground.

Li Ming chose the fog ball, and the other members began to harvest materials.

【Pointed Mouth Drill Strike】★
Introduction: The lava beast drills into the ground with its sharp beak and digs its way underground.

Li Ming touched his chapped lips and felt that it was a bit difficult to achieve.

[larvae - secretion of skin flame retardant substances]★
Introduction: The lava beast's skin can secrete a small amount of flame-retardant substances to prevent magma from harming the body.

Is this why lava beasts can survive here?
This skill is great, it can be achieved by sweating.

Judging from the star rating and description, there should be a long way to go before taking a bath in magma, but the effect can be perfectly combined with [Fire Resistant Dragon Scale (Emerald)].

The skin can withstand high temperature and flames, coupled with the flame-retardant secretion of sweat.

From now on, you no longer have to worry about catching fire.

It is quite difficult for a small monster to unleash this kind of skill.

Happy Li Ming continued to review and select.

【Scavenger】★
Introduction: The lava beast has a very low probability of survival. It can eat and digest rotten food to increase the probability of survival in the wild.

This doesn’t work well, the rotten food is too unpalatable, and there is no bonus.

【Stay away from strange humans】★
Introduction: If you see a humanoid creature behaving strangely and provoking you, remember to stay away!
Is it equipped with the technology to protect against human beings? Maybe it will cause fear?
In other words, whoever left such a big shadow on it would have formed a skill fog ball.

Seeing the corpse of the lava beast that had been chopped in half, Li Ming suddenly realized that the formation of the fog ball might have been caused by himself.

The remaining two fog balls are duplicates.

Holding up [larvae - skin secretion of flame retardant substances] and [stay away from strange humans], the other fog balls immediately faded and disappeared.

The pursuit continued, and not long after, three small spiders crawling on the ground appeared in front of them.

On the hook spines on the back of these spiders, there is a ball made of a large amount of white spider silk.If you don't look at the paws touching the ground, they are like white cotton balls, slowly drifting on the ground.

"It's Chen Spider, it's difficult to deal with."

After waiting and confirming, Chuying helplessly held her forehead.

The lord spiders and the concubine spiders will work together to fight, although some lord spiders will hunt independently.

However, the presence of the Concubine Spider has been confirmed in this area, and seeing the Chen Spider now is definitely not a good sign.

"This rock dragon has been living in the mine. It must be aware of the existence of the concubine spider. Then it deliberately approached it. It is probably to use the deterrent power of the concubine spider to try to get rid of the pursuit."

Li Ming speculated.

The rock dragon's back has been damaged and still smells of dyed balls.

For hunters, they have lost the ability to mimic concealment, but monsters cannot detect so many external details.

"Do you want to evacuate temporarily?"

Chuying asked tentatively.

"I think we can try to chase it, otherwise once the rock dragon settles down, it will not leave easily. If you want to hunt, you have to go deep into the dangerous area."

Li Ming expressed his opinion.

"Well."

"Wait a minute, let's deal with the spiders first. Everyone should approach carefully and act in synchrony. Don't let them have the opportunity to dig and escape."

Under the guidance of Li Ming, the team was divided into three groups and headed towards the three minister spiders respectively.

The hooked claws wrap the newly captured beetle in white silk.

Sensing the approaching footsteps, Chen Spider put his claws on the ground and jumped up and turned around.

Before he jumped to the highest point, the charged sword slashed down.

As his legs and claws moved, Chen Spider fell backwards and hit the ground, and Li Ming stabbed it with his sword.

click~
There was a crisp sound, and a line of green gas came out of the punctured insect's belly.

The gas exploded rapidly, and Li Ming drew his sword and cut off his head.

puff~
The kicking of the legs and claws stopped, and the spider died.

Not long after, Chuying, Bubu and Midoduo, who were not far away, also succeeded in killing them.

Li Ming looked at the fog ball and began to inspect it.

【Spider Pheromone Receiver】★
Introduction: Chen spiders can clearly sense the pheromones released by their own species.

Detection skills targeting a single type of monster are a bit rare.

【Surrender】★
Introduction: The Chen spider is heavily dependent on the Fei spider, and its behavior is guided and controlled by its pheromones.

It's a waste.

【Love and Dedication】★
Introduction: After mating between the Chen spider and the Fei spider, they will die immediately, and the corpse may be eaten by the newborn larvae.

How could there be such a sick fog ball?

Li Ming raised his leg and kicked the fog ball in front of him away.

【Sticky Spider Silk】★
Introduction: Chen spiders can spit out sticky spider silk to wrap and immobilize enemies. At the same time, the spider silk has super toughness. When Chen spiders gather in large numbers, they can pull Fei spiders to move quickly.

This is good, it feels similar to Xiangchong Silk, but unfortunately the functions have some overlap, and it is too troublesome to implement.

【Fei Spider Pheromone Shield】★
Introduction: Chen Spider Shield Concubine Spider Pheromone Sensing.

One accepts and the other blocks, how come these effects conflict? By the way, this is another fog ball.

Li Ming thought that there were nine white fog balls in total, but they were exploded from three minister spiders.

【Refuse to surrender to pheromone secretion】★
Introduction: The pheromones secreted by Chen spiders have a certain probability of making other Chen spiders stay away from Fei spiders and accept their summons.

Good guy, this spider is going to defy the heavens.

Li Ming could see that there should be a few among the many surrender spiders who wanted to escape the fate of surrendering to the concubine spider.

But it was a pity that he killed it, otherwise it might have attracted more like-minded minister spiders, and they could live happily in the lava cave together.

The remaining three fog balls are all duplicates.

After thinking for a moment, Li Ming selected three fog balls: [Sticky Spider Silk], [Spider Pheromone Reception], and [Refuse to Surrender Pheromone Secretion].

The reason is not that these fog balls are necessarily useful, but that other fog balls are too annoying.

However, Chen Spider was just a small monster and a bunch of white balls, so he didn't have much expectations.

After loading [Refuse to Surrender to Pheromone Secretion], Li Ming found a corner of the rock wall and took a sip.

He hid in the distance and watched. After a while, the soil cracked and a smaller spider crawled out.

"It really works."

Li Ming was a little surprised.

After all, he successfully attracted Chen Spider without making any attempt to help realize his ability.

Now that you are free of the concubine spider, there is no need to kill it.

The surrender spiders that can be attracted by [Refuse to Surrender Pheromone Secretion] will naturally not cooperate in fighting.

Just when Li Ming was about to let him go, Chen Spider suddenly turned around and crawled towards where he was.

呵啷~
Li Ming pulled out the energy-charged sword.

The spider crawled faster and faster, and when it was still ten meters away, it stopped hesitantly.

Apparently the other party also realized that the source of the pheromone he was targeting was not his companion.

“The skills in this series are a bit interesting.”

Li Ming muttered and loaded the [Spider Pheromone Receiver] again. The smell he smelled and the things he saw changed slightly.

"Gather. Easier to survive."

Li Ming tried to decipher the meaning of the pheromones released by Chen Spider.

But as the perceptual ability continues to increase during adaptation, an extremely kind existence that cannot be ignored suddenly appears in the consciousness.

This is the taste of mom!
"My day!"

In panic, Li Ming quickly took out this evil fog ball.

"What's wrong meow?"

Midoduo asked curiously.

"The Concubine Spider is nearby!"

"Is this true?"

Chuying also became nervous.

"Yes."

Li Ming covered his chest and gave confirmation.

"Sure enough, the appearance of Chen Spider is foreshadowed. It seems that we can only retreat first."

Chuying sighed helplessly.

"Well. Actually, I can detect its specific location relatively accurately, so it's okay to continue trying to hunt."

Li Ming informed.

Although the feeling is very strange, it is just the sensory feedback caused by the reception of pheromones.

As long as the Fei Spider's position is locked, the team's safety is at least guaranteed.

"It's amazing. Does it rely on hearing? Meow? Huh? The collar is not unfolded."

Mido showed curiosity.

"It's a relatively accurate intuition."

"Hunter's intuition? Meowth Spider! Behind you!"

After Midoduo exclaimed, he pulled out the umbrella bird rapier worn on his waist.

Li Ming reached back and touched his back, and his fingers touched a ball of sticky spider silk.

He grabbed the spider and threw it to the side, as if he didn't regard it as a threat.

"Let's go and deal with the rock dragon. We can't delay it any longer."

"Uh ok meow."

Only ten minutes later, a waterfall formed by lava appeared among the rocks in the distance.

Next to several raised rock pillars, a stone pier with a large number of broken marks on its surface looks very conspicuous.

"found it."

Li Ming stretched out his hand and locked the position.
