Andrew felt his vitality recovering and said devoutly, "This is the power bestowed upon me by the lord. Evil will ultimately be punished!"
He slammed his palm down.
-243
A system notification appeared.
Andrew dealt damage to the Cave Demon Spider. The 'Wild Mark' skill had taken effect.
A bear paw symbol appeared above the Cave Demon Spider's head, and its defense plummeted by a large margin.
Then Assam and Frost Wolf also launched attacks against the Cave Demon Spider's massive body.
-152
-78
These two damage numbers had been dealt by Assam and Frost Wolf.
Although Assam's attack power was formidable,
the Cave Demon Spider's powerful defense still mitigated a considerable amount of damage.
Just then,
Sarah also crept over.
She swung the Shadow Blades in her hand and slashed down directly.
-572
A terrifying damage number appeared.
"Hiss! Hiss!"
The Cave Demon Spider's body suddenly contracted, as if it had suffered a grievous blow.
Although the Cave Demon Spider's defense was astonishing, Sarah's attack power was even more formidable.
The four powerful summoned creatures began surrounding and attacking the Cave Demon Spider.
Cao Xing ordered from behind, "Andrew, your main task is to withstand the Demon Spider's attacks."
"Assam, if Andrew's health falls below half, you take over."
"Sarah, Winter, attack with everything you have!"
Under Cao Xing's commands, they attacked the Cave Demon Spider in an orderly manner.
-1124!
-246
-172
-84
A mass of damage numbers floated up.
As the battle gradually settled into a rhythm, Cao Xing let out a sigh of relief.
Then, he began checking the spider monster's attributes.
Cave Demon Spider: Level 20 Race: Insect Rank: Tier 2 Elite Creature Health: 6614/10255 Attack: 513–545 Attributes: Strength 312, Agility 287, Spirit 334, Constitution 357 Skill: Powerful Web (Spits out a powerful web that inflicts a control effect on enemies. If the enemy lacks sufficient strength, they will be trapped permanently.) 2 Egg Laying (Hatches a large number of small spiders in place, between 20 and 50 in total, interfering with enemies.) Demon Spider Frenzy (When the Cave Demon Spider's health falls below 30%, it will hatch all Demon Spider eggs in advance and command all Demon Spiders to attack the enemy.) Talent: Neurotoxin (Attacks apply 1 stack of Level 2 Neurotoxin)
"What a powerful creature!"
It had over ten thousand health, along with attacks that carried poison.
Even more terrifyingly, once its health fell below 30%, it could hatch all the spider eggs.
At that moment, Cao Xing immediately realized that all the spider eggs around them were threats.
Thus, Cao Xing ordered, "Assam, take Frost Wolf and Winter out of the battle. Clear out the nearby Demon Spider eggs first."
"Andrew, Sarah, hold this Cave Demon Spider back with everything you have."
"At your command, my lord."
Assam sheathed his sword and charged straight toward a small Demon Spider egg nearby.
"Pop!"
-287
The small Demon Spider egg immediately burst apart, spraying out a mass of green slime along with five or six small spiders.
Just as the system description had stated, these small spiders were extremely fast. In an instant, they crawled to Assam's feet.
Assam remained calm in the face of danger, slashing down with his sword again and again.
-246
-235
-244
He practically skewered one small Demon Spider with each strike, bursting them apart.
At the same time, Cao Xing continuously gathered frost power and hurled down ice balls one after another.
-63
A small spider's body immediately burst apart, turning into a mass of green slime.
Successfully killed Small Demon Spider Lv. 3. Obtained 30 experience.
"Huh? Killing these small Demon Spiders gives experience too?" 1
Cao Xing's eyes immediately lit up.
Considering how many Demon Spider eggs there were in this cave, that was no small amount of experience.
Liu Muxue stood nearby with her shield raised, watching vigilantly.
Her task was to protect Cao Xing's safety.
"Pop! Pop! Pop!"
One Demon Spider egg after another was burst in advance by Assam.
Under the siege of two Tier 2 elite creatures, the Cave Demon Spider's health began draining away like water.
Those Demon Spider eggs were also smashed apart one after another by Assam.
Cao Xing followed behind, continuously finishing them off, and his experience began rising rapidly.
Meanwhile, as time passed,
the survivors outside also began sprinting for the Level Rankings.
A heated discussion erupted in the chat channel.
"Brothers, look! Boss Fang Long has reached Level 4 and entered the top three!" 8
"Holy crap... so fast!"
"As expected of Fang Long from the Three Heroes Association! He either doesn't make a move, or he makes a stunning debut!"
"True enough. Fang Long does have some real strength."
The other survivors saw the discussion in the chat channel and opened the rankings to take a look.
Region 174 Level Rankings First Place: Cao Xing (Level 4, 52%) 7
With cheats this ridiculous, he almost got caught up to? The protagonist really was trash among trash.
Second Place: Zhou Bo (Level 4, 25%) Third Place: Fang Long (Level 4, 17%) Fourth Place...
Seeing these rankings, the survivors immediately frowned. "Zhou Bo seems to be catching up too. Boss Cao Xing's first place position looks like it might not hold."
"Yeah. Although we saw Boss Cao Xing's experience move a little today, compared to Fang Long and Zhou Bo's speed, it's still far too slow."
Hearing everyone discuss Fang Long,
the survivors from the Three Heroes Association smugly said in the chat channel, "Cao Xing is just a lucky kid. What is he worth?" 1
"Let us tell you, several of our brothers have already joined forces. Exploring as a team is much faster."
"And our Boss Fang Long will surpass Cao Xing very soon."
"Just wait two more days. Once the Newbie Protection Period ends, everyone who offended our Three Heroes Association will be settled with!"
There had originally been some Cao Xing supporters in the chat channel.
But after being threatened by the Three Heroes Association, none of them dared speak any longer.
At that moment, a survivor named Fu Jiafeng said, "The Three Heroes Association is indeed powerful, but our Heavenly Blade Association is no weaker."
"This time, not to mention first place, our Boss Zhou Bo has second place locked down."
"That's right. Our Tiger Hall boss, Wu Xinghu, can definitely make the top three too." 2
The survivors from the Three Heroes Association also came out and said, "Then it looks like the top three spots are already decided, haha!"
Just as they had already reserved the top three places for themselves,
someone suddenly spoke in the chat channel.
"Look! Boss Cao Xing's experience bar has moved, and it's rising so fast!"
"What?"
Everyone hurriedly opened the rankings.
First Place: Cao Xing (Level 4, 55%)
He had just been at 52%, but he had jumped to 55% all at once.
And even more terrifyingly, his experience bar was still increasing.
Level 4, 56% Level 4, 58% Level 4, 60%
Almost every few seconds, his experience would jump again.
"My god! So fast!"
Seeing this, the survivors from the Three Heroes Association and the Heavenly Blade Association were filled with disbelief.
At the same time, the battle in the cave was also nearing its end.
The Cave Demon Spider's body was covered in dense claw marks and blade wounds so deep that bone could be seen.
Cao Xing noticed its health.
Health: 1203/10255
Just over a thousand health remained!
As Sarah slashed down,
-638
The Cave Demon Spider's health had fallen below 600.
Seeing Sarah about to attack again, Cao Xing hurriedly shouted, "Sarah, stop! Let me do it!"
Sarah stopped where she was in confusion.
The Cave Demon Spider had thought it was certain to die, but suddenly saw the two creatures besieging it stop attacking.
It seemed to see a sliver of hope again!
The Cave Demon Spider bent its eight legs beneath itself, then sprang fiercely, seemingly preparing to leap into the air.
Sarah had just wanted to attack, but remembering Cao Xing's order, she ultimately restrained herself.
At that moment, Cao Xing decisively pulled out the Barrett. 1
As the Cave Demon Spider leaped into the air, he fired a shot directly.
-804!
A huge damage number floated up.
