Inside the passage on the right, the Cave Spider King opened its eight cartoonishly large eyes, staring intently at Nan Feng!
"Damn, was this thing just waiting here the whole time?"
Nan Feng took a couple of steps back, startled.
The others panicked even more and turned to run.
Nan Feng quickly stopped them, "Don't be afraid, brothers, it can't get out."
Only then did everyone realize that the Cave Spider King was too large, blocking the entire right passage, unable to even stretch its legs.
It couldn't get out at all.
Wu Yuansheng's face lit up with joy, "It's stuck here? Does that mean we have a chance to kill it?"
Su Ziran frowned slightly, observing for a moment, "It's not stuck. Although it can't get out, it can still retreat. The space inside that passage must be huge."
Wu Yuansheng didn't think much of it, "Then we can take this opportunity to deplete some of its health. If it retreats, we can just find a way to lure it out again, right?"
Xu Ming nodded, "Old Wu makes sense."
"What sense does that make?" Nan Feng checked the Cave Spider King's stats again, retreating further, "It can spit venom. Let's back away a bit."
Nan Feng didn't know how far the Cave Spider King's venom could reach, but the further away, the safer.
The group retreated all the way to the cave entrance. Using the torch Nan Feng had thrown earlier, they could see the Cave Spider King still standing there, motionless.
Su Yihan was a bit puzzled, "What's it doing?"
"It's giving birth."
Combining his experiences from yesterday, Nan Feng guessed what was happening.
"It was the same yesterday. After we killed all the Cave Spiders outside, the Cave Spider King crawled out from the depths of the cave and laid a large number of Spiderlings. These Spiderlings will then evolve into Cave Spiders after a period of time and continue to guard the cave."
After hearing Nan Feng's explanation, everyone understood.
Su Ziran said, "So... this is a natural monster spawn point? If we leave this Cave Spider King, there will be a constant supply of spiders for us to hunt."
"That's right." Nan Feng nodded, then shook his head, "But don't forget, there's likely an Iron Mine, or even a Copper Mine, in the passage on the right. If we don't kill the Cave Spider King, it will be difficult for us to obtain those materials."
Wu Yuansheng said, "Beasts are everywhere, but Iron Ore and Copper Ore aren't so easy to find."
Xu Ming said, "Yes, I think we still have to kill it."
Su Yihan said, "Brother, I think Nan Feng makes sense."
Most people agreed that they should kill the Cave Spider King to obtain rare materials like Tekkai and Copper Ore.
Just then, the Cave Spider King finally finished giving birth and scurried into the depths of the cave.
Afterward, everyone saw the ground covered in Spiderlings, charging towards them.
"Here they come again."
The situation was very similar to yesterday, the only difference being that no one was trapped in the left passage today.
"Another pile of experience points!"
Compared to Cave Spiders, Spiderlings were easier to kill. Although the experience points were lower, it wouldn't affect the leveling efficiency too much.
Without wasting words, the group directly entered monster-killing mode.
"If only I had the Desert Eagle, that Piercing Shot could kill a dozen with one shot..."
Nan Feng thought to himself.
Unfortunately, as his trump card for survival, Nan Feng didn't want too many people to know about it yet.
Half an hour later, the group had killed hundreds of Spiderlings, and their condition wasn't very good.
Su Yihan panted slightly, her chest rising and falling, "I'm out of Mana, I can't heal you guys anymore."
"What? I gave you 20 bottles of Mana potions, and you've already finished them?" Nan Feng was surprised. Was this healer such a Mana hog?
The Clean Fresh Water that Nan Feng purified with the water purifier had the effect of restoring Mana, so everyone habitually called it Mana potion.
Su Yihan brushed her hair, "Or what? If I wasn't healing you guys, you would have had to go home for supplies long ago."
That was true.
Because of Su Yihan, the healer, Nan Feng hadn't eaten a single piece of grilled meat in the past two hours, saving him a lot of money.
"Then let's go back and rest, and come back in the afternoon?" Nan Feng suggested, "I need to go back and make more Mana potions too."
"Okay, we've hunted a lot of beasts this morning. It's time to rest."
"Let's go then."
None of them were indecisive people, and they left as soon as they said they would.
Leaving behind a ground full of Spiderlings, crawling around outside the cave, searching for traces of the enemy.
It took Nan Feng more than 40 minutes to return to the Wooden Cabin, which was much faster than yesterday. After all, his Agility had also increased after leveling up.
After resting for a few minutes, Nan Feng started a fire again to grill meat.
"Eating this every day, I'm really going to throw up..."
Nan Feng opened the Trade Channel, wanting to see if there was any other food available.
Then he saw a Chosen One named "Wang Zhiyang" selling apples for 30 units of materials each.
"Damn, 30 materials for one apple? Are you trying to rob me?"
Nan Feng grumbled as he glanced at his backpack, which contained a total of 1768 units of [Wood] + [Stone].
Well, never mind then.
Nan Feng decisively bought the apple.
He'd treat himself to some fruit for lunch to calm his nerves.
Ding ding ding.
A private message popped up. Nan Feng opened it and saw it was from You Ran.
You Ran: "Dear brother, why didn't you put any Mana potions up for sale today?"
Nan Feng: "Dear sister, even I don't have enough for myself."
You Ran: "Ah, what am I going to do then? How am I supposed to survive without Mana potions? Waaah~"
Nan Feng: "Emm... if you give me a kiss, I'll sell you 10 bottles."
You Ran: "Mua~(づ ̄3 ̄)づ╭?~"
Nan Feng: "..."
Nan Feng: "Alright, come trade."
Nan Feng originally wanted to tease You Ran a little, but he didn't expect her to be so shameless, giving a kiss whenever asked—although it wasn't a real kiss.
It seemed You Ran was quite the experienced driver.
And a bit of a tease, calling everyone "brother."
"You Ran is too high-level for me. A pure little virgin like me can't handle her."
"It's better to stick with the healer, they're more innocent and easier to take down."
After daydreaming for a while, Nan Feng's meat was cooked.
Taking out the apple he just bought from his backpack, Nan Feng ate a bite of roasted meat and a bite of apple, thoroughly enjoying himself.
Ding ding ding.
Halfway through his meal, Nan Feng's private message rang again.
He opened it and saw it was still You Ran.
"Why is this girl keep looking for me? Could it be that she likes me?"
Thinking this, Nan Feng opened the private message.
You Ran: "I found a Level 5 Lord-tier beast. Are you interested?"
Damn, a Level 5 Lord-tier beast!
Killing that thing would reward attribute points!
Nan Feng wasn't confident he could kill the Level 6 Lord-tier beast, the [Cave Spider King].
But Nan Feng believed he had a chance to hunt a Level 5 Lord-tier beast!
Wiping the grease from his mouth, Nan Feng hurriedly replied.
Nan Feng: "Dear sister, send me the coordinates, I'll be there right away!"
