Giant Spider 2

Instructor Gru jumped to the top of the tree, gripping a branch between his legs, and stood firmly on it. He then fired an arrow at the giant below, blasting out three more eyeballs.

The Giant Spider immediately changed direction and charged towards Instructor Gru.

Instructor Gru leaped from the treetop to another pine tree, then fired another arrow, blasting out one of the Giant Spider's eyes.

The Giant Spider charged straight up, and Roy was also on the tree.

At this moment, Roy was a little dumbfounded. This was a real Tier 3 magical beast, which was much more powerful than a griffin.

Instructor Eleanor turned pale with fright. If the Giant Spider Giant Spider hadn't climbed the tree and had lingered a little longer in the forest clearing, its legs might already be embedded in his body. Almost no one could stop such a huge creature.

"Roy, get out of the way..."

Nora chased after the Giant Spider, yelling at Roy was standing dumbly on the branch.

Hearing Instructor Nora's shout, Roy hurriedly jumped down from the tree.

But a clump of spider silk was already spraying towards Roy...

In order to find the best shooting point, Instructor Gru had already jumped onto another tree. By now, even if he wanted to save Roy, it was too late.

Just as the spiderweb was covering Roy, and he might turn into a white cocoon in the next second, the Holy Scepter in Roy's hand emitted Holy Light Power, and the spider silk began to dissolve rapidly as it approached the holy light.

Upon seeing the holy light emanating from the Holy Scepter, the Giant Spider hissed and dared not approach Roy, turning and fleeing in another direction.

Just then, Instructor Nora caught up from behind. She swung her sword with one hand and slashed hard at the Giant Spider's leg. She had found the weak point at the joint of the spider's leg, and this time the strike was very precise. With a swift movement, a section of the spider's leg fell off.

The Giant Spider normally relies on its eight legs to climb trees as if walking on flat ground. Now that one leg is broken and two others are injured, its crawling speed immediately slows down.

Arrows rained down on it. Although it tried its best to dodge, it couldn't avoid the bursting of its few remaining compound eyes. The liquid flowing from its eyes smeared its face and even its mouth was filled with bitter juice.

Miss Christine was very careful with each arrow she shot, worried that the Giant Spider would notice her.

By then, it will be too late to escape.

She did a great job this time. Although the arrows she fired couldn't penetrate the Giant Spider, they all accurately blew out its eyeballs. The Giant Spider had a ring of compound eyes on its head, so blowing them all out was quite a feat...

Giant Spider's injured leg hooked onto the trunk of a pine tree. Just as it was about to move its body over, a cracking sound was heard, and the injured joint broke.

The Giant Spider immediately retracted all its legs, like a fleshy ball with a cushioning device, and rolled down onto the forest clearing with a thud.

Then it spread its remaining six legs, moved its body, and quickly fled in the direction it had come from.

By this time, Instructor Eleanor had escaped from the spider web, and Instructor Virgil had followed. The two instructors attacked the Giant Spider from both sides.

The moment the Giant Spider showed the slightest sign of stopping, the two instructors immediately retreated; the moment it made a move to escape, the two instructors closed in...

Instructor Nora was even bolder. When she jumped down from the tree, she seized the opportunity and leaped directly onto the Giant Spider's hairy back. With one hand she grabbed the hair on its back, and with the other hand she gripped her longsword and plunged it directly into the Giant Spider's body from above.

Before Instructor Nora could draw her sword, she was flung off her back by the Giant Spider.

Instructor Nora's body flipped in mid-air before landing steadily in the forest clearing.

Even with a long sword stuck in its head, the Giant Spider did not fall. Dragging its mutilated legs, it quickly fled through the forest.

Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Virgil took the opportunity to attack the Giant Spider's legs from both sides, while Instructor Gru shot out the last eyeball, making the Giant Spider completely blind. It crashed into a pine tree, causing the thick tree to shake violently.

The Giant Spider wandered aimlessly through the Pine Forest forest, eventually settling into place and spreading its legs as if to attack.

Instructor Eleanor and Instructor Virgil seized the opportunity, silently approaching the Giant Spider, and then severing one of its legs with a single sword strike. Only after all eight of its legs were severed did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Roy retrieved all the remaining legs that had fallen into the Pine Forest forest. The Giant Spider was made entirely of magical materials, making it far more valuable than a griffin.

Its magical powers are 'spraying spider silk', 'web', and 'bewitchment', making it one of the more balanced third-tier magical beasts in terms of various abilities. It's just a pity that it encountered Instructor Nora's Adventure Group. The instructors had been exploring together for a long time and their cooperation was quite tacit.

No single instructor in the Adventure Group could defeat a third-tier magical beast on their own.

But when they fight together and hunt down a Giant Spider, it's actually not too difficult...

Roy suddenly realized that the instructors were the real fighting team. Although each instructor was not very strong, when they came together and all the instructors used their strengths, they could easily defeat enemies many times stronger than themselves.

"This is what a mature battle group needs to have."

Instructor Gru, carrying Battle Shortbow, walked up from behind and patted Roy on the shoulder.

"Ranger, fighter, swordsman, archer, and mage."

Of course, our team is still missing an excellent Sword Dancer, a priest, and ideally, an Abyss Walker.

Sabrina is the most talented Sword Dancer I have ever seen.

All I can say now is that Novice Priest is a better fit for our team than a priestess from the Moon God Temple. Of course, Christine did a fantastic job this time too; you blew out at least a third of the eyeballs. Your archery fundamentals are very solid; what you lack is some experience in the wild."

Instructor Gru was originally going to give Roy a lecture, but Sabrina and Miss Christine came over halfway through, so Instructor Gru had no choice but to bite the bullet and say a few nice words.

Without waiting for Instructor Nora's instructions, Instructor Eleanor began skinning the Giant Spider. If the Giant Spider's abdomen wasn't treated quickly, the spider silk solution inside would rapidly corrode the high-grade leather once it leaked out.

"This is much more valuable than griffin leather. I never imagined there would be Black Jaw Spider that can live in extremely cold regions on the mountaintop. No wonder those griffins don't dare to fly here. Maybe these Giant Spider are so big because they are designed to hunt the griffins on the mountaintop..."

Instructor Nora seemed extremely happy as she spoke.

Although the Adventure Group hunted monsters along the way, the monster materials they obtained were not very valuable and could not even cover the expenses of the Adventure Group's journey to this plane.

With the magical materials from this Giant Spider, the Adventure Group was finally able to break even.

"It crawled from that direction. Should we go check it out and see if there's a spider nest over there?" Instructor Virgil said excitedly, pointing in the direction the Giant Spider had crawled from.

It has to be said that hunting such a big guy is very rewarding.

Instructor Eleanor rolled her eyes and said to Instructor Virgil:

"If you can skin this big guy, I'll go take a look, or you can go check it out over there..."

Instructor Eleanor's words silenced Instructor Virgil immediately.

In the end, Instructor Nora took over Instructor Eleanor's work, sending Instructor Eleanor to scout the forest area. It was quite a while before Instructor Eleanor returned from the forest.

"There is indeed a spider nest over there, but apart from some griffin skeletons, there are no other spiders inside," Instructor Eleanor told everyone.

Then she took out more than thirty magic cores of various shapes from her bosom and happily said to everyone:

"These are also what I picked up from those griffin skeletons. The nest is on the edge of the Pine Forest, in a natural cave. There are white spider webs everywhere there, but those webs aren't very sticky."

"This guy really does feed on griffins..." Instructor Virgil said with some surprise.

"It's a pity there's only one," Instructor Nora said with some regret. "We'll camp here tonight and head south tomorrow to see if we can find a way down the mountain. Half of our vacation is already over, and whether we find a way or not, we can't go any further. This will be the last stop on our adventure."

"Are we not going any further?" Instructor Eleanor asked in a low voice.

"We won't go any further this time. If possible, we'll wander around the nearby Pine Forest and see if we can find another one. If another one pops up, we'll have enough money for our next adventure."

Instructor Nora then began arranging the campsite. The area was in a windy spot, and even though the Pine Forest could block some of the wind, it was still very windy and cold inside the forest.

Fortunately, there was a ruin there, and Instructor Nora arranged the campsite there.

Everyone felt better after setting up their tents in a sheltered spot inside the ruins.

Huddled in the warm, sheltered tent, Roy closed his eyes and let his mind wander.

This journey through the plane deeply moved Roy. He not only saw a different world, but also witnessed firsthand how the Half-Elf here lived a much harder life, suffering oppression from the Silver Moon Nobles.

He also witnessed the power of an Adventure Group; as long as they have a group of trustworthy teammates, the Adventure Group can demonstrate even greater strength.

Just as Roy was dozing off, Instructor Gru knocked twice on the outside of his tent, reminding him, "Roy, it's time for your night watch..."

Roy sat up abruptly in the tent and replied, "Coming!"

He immediately put on his boots and crawled out.
