Unas asked curiously, "Can't it be a different kind of spider?"
"Of course, females seeking strong males is one of the laws of nature. Spider offspring will primarily resemble their mothers, but the genes of strong males will make them superior, and some may even mutate to become a new species."
Unas nodded and ordered, "No matter what, try to get rid of it first."
The Overlord Spider spun around in place, baring its fangs and roaring at the slowly approaching Green-Footed Blade Spider. The Spider stopped, but did not retreat, continuing to twirl its long legs in place.
The Troll controlled the Overlord Spider to make threatening gestures, but the mother Blade Spider remained unmoved. After a while, she even began to move forward cautiously again.
Did it sense the Overlord Spider's weakness and intend to force itself upon it? Many mating behaviors in the animal kingdom are forced; without a fight, reproduction cannot be achieved. It seems that a battle was inevitable.
Just then, a bird called from above. Unas looked up and saw Nightmoon, who had been sent to scout ahead, perched on a large tree and gesturing to him that the surroundings were safe. Unas felt relieved; his biggest fear was attracting other enemies during the battle.
He turned to the Troll and asked, "Can you control the Overlord Spider to accept its request?"
"I can give it a try." Haikesi had never done anything like this before.
"Let the Overlord Spider hold it down, and I can cut its head off with one sword." Unas naturally wanted to deal with the enemy more easily.
The Overlord Spider stopped its threatening maneuvers and pounced on its opponent. The mother Blade Spider retreated a short distance before charging at it again, and this time it was the Overlord Spider's turn to retreat.
The two spiders chased each other, playing and chasing each other in the forest for a while before finally making physical contact. The Green-Footed Blade Spider lived up to its name as the "Sword Dancer," blocking all the attacks from the Overlord Spider controlled by Haikesi with its long blue legs. Its attacks only made a "thud" sound when they landed on the Overlord Spider's exoskeleton, posing no threat whatsoever.
After a tentative struggle, the mother Blade Spider seemed to have sensed the true strength of the Overlord Spider. It no longer retreated and leaped onto the Overlord Spider's back.
But the Overlord Spider was just a corpse, and no matter how much she teased it, it was no use. After trying for a long time without success, the mother spider frantically started pounding on the Overlord Spider's abdomen with her long legs.
Unas couldn't stand it any longer and quickly ordered the Troll, "What are you standing there for? Throw it off!"
Haikesi struggled to control the Overlord Spider, spinning it around in place, but couldn't shake it off. The mother spider's two long legs were firmly wedged into the Overlord Spider's joints, remaining completely still.
It seemed he had no choice but to take matters into his own hands. After giving Nightmoon the signal to begin the battle, Unas charged directly at the two Giant Spiders stacked together.
As soon as he peeked out from behind the tree, the mother spider became alert. Unas ran close enough and immediately swung his sword, unleashing a Flame Slash that sent golden-red flames hurtling towards his opponent.
The mother spider neither dodged nor flinched; instead, she crossed her two blade-like forelegs and swung them forward, splitting the ball of fire into four parts that flew in different directions before quickly extinguishing in the air. Her movements were completely invisible to the naked eye.
Unas cursed inwardly, unsure if his armor and shield could withstand its Blade Legs, and his desire to engage in close combat vanished considerably.
Just then, another bird call rang out overhead, indicating that Nightmoon was ready. Unas unleashed another Flame Slash while charging towards the enemy, determined to draw the mother spider's attention entirely to himself; he had no choice but to take the risk.
The Flame Slash was shattered once more, and Unas rushed to the two spiders. He leaped into the air, his Silver Hammer and Firekiss simultaneously attacking the mother spider's head.
The fiery blade from the tip of the Firekiss Sword was almost touching the mother spider's dark forearm, but the next moment, amidst a series of metallic scraping sounds, Unas was sent flying.
The Sacred Shield burst instantly like a bubble, and Unas was hit four times between his chest, abdomen, and thigh. The standard armor of the Argent Dawn was cut open with four gaps. Fortunately, these defensive measures also offset most of the opponent's attack power. Unas suffered some superficial wounds, with only the wound on his thigh being somewhat deep.
His sacrifice was not in vain. In the instant he clashed with the spider, Nightmoon landed directly on the mother spider's back like a cannonball—a spot long could not reach.
A pair of black daggers danced between her hands, instantly piercing all eight eyes of the mother spider into bloody holes. A shrill scream came from her mouthparts; the mother spider had gone mad, desperately shaking her body, trying to shake the Night Elf off.
"Haikesi!" Unas roared the Troll's name from his knees. This was a perfect opportunity to knock the mother spider down.
The Troll first cast a Holy Light on Unas, then realized the Warden's true order. He quickly sent the Overlord Spider to the thickest tree in the area. After climbing up, it immediately released its claws, and the two Giant Spiders, which were stacked on top of each other, fell to the side. The Overlord Spider fell backward, and the mother spider on its back was naturally crushed underneath. Just before hitting the ground, Nightmoon was launched away.
The mother spider, blinded and pinned to the ground, struggled desperately and blindly, but given its Overlord Spider weight, it was impossible for it to move an inch.
Unas, enduring the excruciating pain in his thigh, Charge forward, carefully dodging the eight wildly swinging Blade Legs. Finding a relatively soft spot, he plunged the entire blade of Firekiss into the mother spider's body, then activated the fire energy in his Ring, which exploded through Firekiss, burning all of its internal organs to ashes.
This series of movements was so fluid and smooth that Unas was already very skilled at it. The light entered his body, and his experience increased to 95%. The experience given by this female spider was equivalent to that of a mini-boss.
Having defeated the enemy, Unas collapsed to the ground, panting heavily. Waves of pain shot through his thigh, and he felt dizzy. Haikesi seemed to have mentioned that these Blade Spiders were highly venomous.
The Troll rushed over to help him remove the leg armor. The long, thin wound had swollen into a deep groove, from which dark, poisonous blood was constantly gushing. The Troll took out a water bag and cleaned the wound, then spat out some chewed herbs and applied them to the wound. "My lord, don't worry, I have a way to cure this poison."
"I'm not worried," Unas shook his dizzy head. "I know Cleanse." (Cleanse: Cleanse a friendly target, remove one disease effect and one poison effect)
This was the first time he had used this spell, and he didn't know if it could cure this kind of poison. He stretched out his right hand and pressed it against the wound on his thigh, silently reciting the name of the skill. A white-golden light swirled around the wound a few times before quickly disappearing.
Unas didn't sense any change, but Haikesi exclaimed with delight, "Very effective! Seven or eight more uses should completely remove the toxins!"
