Stop, Leave the Kill for Me

Andrew felt his vitality recovering and said piously, "This is the power the Lord bestowed upon me. Evil will ultimately be punished!"

He brought down his palm.

-243

A system prompt appeared.

Andrew dealt damage to the Cave Spider, and the 'Savage Mark' skill has taken effect.

A bear claw insignia appeared above the Cave Spider's head, and its defense value dropped significantly.

Then, Assam and Frost Wolf also launched attacks against the Cave Spider's massive body.

-152

-78

These two damage numbers were dealt by Assam and Frost Wolf.

Although Assam's attack power was very strong.

This Cave Spider's formidable defense still reduced a lot of damage for it.

And just then.

Sarah also crept closer.

She swung the Shadow Blade in her hand and directly slashed down.

-572

A terrifying damage number appeared.

"Hiss hiss!"

The Cave Spider's body suddenly contracted, as if it had suffered a heavy blow.

Even though the Cave Spider's defense was astonishing, Sarah's attack power was even more formidable.

The four powerful summoned creatures began to surround and attack this Cave Spider.

Cao Xing commanded from behind, "Andrew, your main objective is to withstand this spider's damage."

"Assam, if Andrew's health drops below half, you take over."

"Sarah, Winter, attack with all your might!"

Under Cao Xing's command, they methodically attacked the Cave Spider.

-1124!

-246

-172

-84

A large pile of damage numbers floated up.

Seeing that the battle was gradually falling into a rhythm, Cao Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he began to check the attributes of this spider monster.

Cave Spider: Level 20 Race: Insect Level: Tier 2 Elite Creature Health: 6614/10255

Attack Power: 513~545

Attributes: Strength 312, Agility 287, Spirit 334, Constitution 357

Skills: Powerful Spider Web (Spits out a powerful spider web, causing a control effect on the enemy. If the enemy's strength is insufficient, they will be permanently trapped) 2

Spawn (Hatch a large number of small spiders on the spot, numbering 20-50, causing interference to the enemy.)

Spider Frenzy (When the Cave Spider's health drops below 30%, it will hatch all spider eggs in advance and drive all spiders to attack the enemy.)

Talent: Neurotoxin (Attacks carry 1 stack of Level 2 Neurotoxin effect)

"What a tough guy!"

Over ten thousand health, coupled with attacks that carried its own poison.

And even more terrifying was that it could hatch all its spider eggs when its health dropped below 30%.

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly realized that the spider eggs around them were all threats.

So, Cao Xing commanded, "Assam, you take Frost Wolf and Winter to disengage from the battlefield and clear out the nearby spider eggs first."

"Andrew, Sarah, hold off this Cave Spider with all your might."

"Understood, Lord."

Assam retracted his long sword and directly charged towards a nearby small spider egg.

"Pfft!"

-287

This small spider egg immediately burst open, spewing out a mass of green mucus, along with five or six small spiders.

As the system introduced, these small spiders were incredibly fast, instantly swarming to Assam's feet.

Assam remained unfazed, slashing down with his sword, one after another.

-246

-235

-244

He killed almost one with each strike, puncturing the little cave spiders until they exploded.

Meanwhile, Cao Xing continuously gathered frost power, pelting them with ice balls.

-63

A small spider's body instantly burst, turning into a puddle of green goo.

Successfully killed a Small Cave Spider Lv3, gaining 30 Experience Points.

"Huh? Killing these small cave spiders gives experience too?"

Cao Xing's eyes lit up.

Considering the sheer number of spider eggs in this cave, this represented a significant amount of experience.

Liu Muxue stood by with her shield, ready for anything.

Her task was to protect Cao Xing.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

Assam preemptively destroyed the spider eggs one by one.

Under the combined assault of two Tier 2 Elite Creatures, the Cave Spider's health began to drain like water.

The spider eggs were also being destroyed by Assam, one after another.

Cao Xing followed behind, constantly landing the finishing blows, his experience points skyrocketing.

At the same time, as time passed.

Survivors in the outside world were also making a dash for the Level Ranking.

The chat channel erupted in lively discussion.

"Brothers, look at the rankings! Boss Fang Long has reached Level 4, breaking into the top three!"

"Holy crap... that's fast!"

"What else can you expect from Fang Long of the Three Heroes Guild? He doesn't show off unless he's making a statement!"

"Indeed, Fang Long has the skill."

Seeing the discussion in the chat channel, other survivors also clicked on the rankings to check.

District 174 Level Ranking 1st Place: Cao Xing (Level 4 52%)

This guy's barely holding onto first place with such a head start, the protagonist is truly the weakest of the weak.

2nd Place: Zhou Bo (Level 4 25%)

3rd Place: Fang Long (Level 4 17%)

4th Place...

Seeing these rankings, the survivors frowned. "Zhou Bo seems to be catching up too. Cao Xing's first place position might not last."

"Yeah, although I saw Cao Xing's experience bar move today, it's still way slower compared to Fang Long and Zhou Bo."

Hearing everyone's discussion about Fang Long.

The survivors from the Three Heroes Guild proudly declared in the chat channel, "Cao Xing is just a lucky kid, what's he worth?"

"Let us tell you, several of our brothers have teamed up. With a team, our exploration speed is much faster."

"And our Boss Fang Long will soon surpass this Cao Xing."

"Just wait a couple more days, once the Novice Protection Period ends, all those who offended our Three Heroes Guild will face retribution!"

In the chat channel, there were originally some supporters of Cao Xing.

Now, threatened by the Three Heroes Guild, they all fell silent.

At this moment, a survivor named Fu Jiafeng said, "The Three Heroes Guild does have some strength, but our Heavenly Blade Society is not bad either."

"This time, if our Boss Zhou Bo doesn't get first, second place is guaranteed."

"That's right, our Boss Wu Xinghu of Tiger Hall can also secure a spot in the top three."

Survivors from the Three Heroes Guild also chimed in, "Then it seems the top three spots are already decided, haha!"

Just as they were prematurely claiming the top three spots.

Someone in the chat channel suddenly said.

"Quick, look! Boss Cao Xing's experience bar has moved, and it's moving so fast!"

"What?"

Everyone clicked open the ranking list.

First Place: Cao Xing (Level 4, 55%)

He was just at 52% a moment ago, and now he'd jumped to 55%.

Even more terrifying was that his experience bar was still increasing.

Level 4, 56%

Level 4, 58%

Level 4, 60%

It seemed like every few seconds, his experience points would tick up.

"Oh my god! So fast!"

Seeing this, the survivors from the Three Heroes Guild and the Heavenly Blade Society were filled with disbelief.

Meanwhile, the battle in the cave was also nearing its end.

The Cave Spider was covered in countless claw marks and deep, bone-revealing slashes.

Cao Xing noticed its remaining health.

Health: 1203/10255

Just over a thousand health left!

As Sarah brought her blade down.

-638

The Cave Spider's health dropped below 600.

Seeing Sarah about to strike again, Cao Xing quickly shouted, "Sarah, stop! Let me finish it!"

Sarah paused in confusion.

The Cave Spider, believing itself doomed, suddenly saw the two attackers stop.

It seemed to see a glimmer of hope!

The Cave Spider bent its eight legs and then sprang, preparing to leap into the air.

Sarah was about to attack but remembered Cao Xing's command and held back.

Just then, Cao Xing unhesitatingly pulled out Bullet.

As the Cave Spider leaped into the air, he fired a shot.

-804!

A large damage number floated up.
