Fierce Battle in the Forest

Night had fallen, and starlight illuminated the silent forest.

Linsey sat atop the tall Fir Tree he had chosen, his eyes fixed on the forest to the south.

Just a few minutes later.

Seven scouting Corrupted Poison Spider emerged first from the shadows of the forest. Their moderately sized bodies, yellow and green, reflected the darkness of the night like moving flags.

His crimson pupils flashed with a cruel and ferocious cold light.

But beneath their dangerous appearance, the legs of these Corrupted Poison Spider twitch gently on the ground, as if testing some unknown enemy.

But further back.

Even more spider troops are waiting there, watching as they march on.

"..."

"The first one is close enough."

Linsey took a deep breath and prepared everything he needed for the battle.

For the first attack in this battle, Linsey had only one requirement—a single, fatal blow!

He held the Iron Horn Great Bow in his hand, and the Armor-Piercing Arrow were already taken out.

With just one action of drawing his bow and shooting an arrow, he could instantly take the life of a Corrupted Poison Spider!

But Linsey did not make a move.

Taking the initiative to attack will actually deprive other awakened individuals of the first-mover advantage.

He was waiting for the moment when the battle would truly begin.

The Awakened Ones behind them were also quick to act.

Under Anrui's leadership, the group quickly broke out of their resting state, their weapons gleaming coldly in the darkness.

Their firm footsteps were accompanied by a lowered voice.

Anrui, who was in the lead, kept an eye on Linsey on the high ground, while a Female Hunter observed the situation from the front.

Humans and spiders soon approached each other in the darkness.

"I heard something, Anrui!"

Soon, the Female Hunter sensed danger and warned Anrui.

Meanwhile, at the top of the Fir Tree, the Lord also saw Linsey waving in their direction.

So, Anrui spoke in a low voice, his tone as resolute as his character:

"Let's do it!"

In an instant, the human side began to charge.

Fires blazed everywhere in the forest, and the once tranquil woods came alive.

Linsey, who had been waiting in the tree for a long time, knew that the time had come.

He hung an Armor-Piercing Arrow on the bowstring and then drew the Iron Horn Great Bow.

Bang! Almost simultaneously with the human side launching their attack.

Linsey took a deep breath and instantly released the bowstring.

Like a thunderclap, the arrow drew an arc across the night sky, striking the eye of the leading Corrupted Poison Spider directly. The arrow then pierced its brain, and the corrupting power destroyed the Corrupted Poison Spider's thinking organs.

A small arrow was stuck in his head.

The sizable, Corrupted Poison Spider swayed violently before collapsing to the ground.

Linsey quickly changed to the next arrow.

His movements were fluid and fast, like a carefully choreographed piece of music.

Arrows were fired one after another, like syllables ringing out on time, and then hitting their targets precisely.

The most conspicuous in size and the fastest rushing are the Corrupted Poison Spider.

He was instantly killed by an arrow shot by Linsey.

However, soon after the awakened humans made contact with the spider army behind them, Linsey's archery speed slowed down.

Leaving aside the impact of the pitch-black night.

When the Awakened Ones are engaged in battle, their positions often overlap with those of the Corrupted Poison Spider.

An arrow imbued with corrupting power, if fired carelessly, could injure friendly forces instead.

Not to mention the influence of the trees in the forest, which is an even greater difficulty that the archer needs to overcome.

The forest grew noisier at night.

Having gained the upper hand, the human side did indeed achieve considerable success.

But swarms of Corrupted Poison Spider are not weak either.

They quickly rallied, forming a defensive network, and charged around with their agile movements and powerful Constitution, occasionally attempting to attack humans with their venomous fangs.

This kind of attack might be difficult to hit.

But if it succeeds even once, the venom will instantly render the person unable to fight.

Fortunately, the awakened people in the town were prepared, each carrying medicine prepared by the doctor, so they wouldn't die immediately.

"..."

"It's time to change positions."

Watching the battlefield intensify.

Linsey muttered something under her breath and jumped off the fir tree.

In the night sky, a white spider silk shot out from behind him, leading Linsey to another pine tree in a better position.

The thunderous sound of the bowstring rang out once more.

The Corrupted Poison Spider below also died swiftly under the arrows.

Linsey moved nimbly through the forest, occasionally looking for an opportunity to kill the Corrupted Poison Spider below, and her speed was definitely not slow.

But if we're talking about the most eye-catching person in the crowd, it's undoubtedly Anrui.

To better deal with the Devil Beast, he brought a two-meter-long giant axe specifically for this extermination. With the aid of his skills, he wielded it with tremendous force, chopping any Corrupted Poison Spider that appeared around him into mincemeat.

Under his cold and sharp gaze, not a single Corrupted Poison Spider that stood in Anrui's way survived a single breath.

This is not the Black Mountain World.

There was also no Fifth Stage Corrupted Poison Spider King to launch a sneak attack.

He alone was the strongest life harvester, and in just a few breaths after the battle, he single-handedly plunged into the rear of the Corrupted Poison Spider.

With no human awakened beings around, Anrui's slaughter became even more unrestrained. Trees and Devil Beast alike were chopped into pieces by his giant axe in the blink of an eye, and his annihilation efficiency soared.

The other awakened ones witnessed this scene and, aside from marveling at the power of the Fifth Stage Warrior, could only continue their arduous battle against the enemy before them.

"..."

"Damn spider!"

During the battle in the forest at night, Alan suddenly roared.

As Anrui's chosen successor, he led two companions in a battle against the Corrupted Poison Spider.

However, one of them was only Second Stage awakener.

During the battle, he was caught off guard and pounced on by a giant Corrupted Poison Spider, whose sharp legs even pierced through his shoulder.

Upon seeing this, Alan immediately rushed forward to rescue him.

He severed the Corrupted Poison Spider's legs with a single stroke, dragged his companion out from under the spider's body, and then charged forward to face the spider's fangs, colliding head-on with the dangerous Devil Beast.

The next second, the sizable, Corrupted Poison Spider collapsed one after another.

Alan's dagger was also stuck in his head.

But at that very moment, while Alan was rescuing his companions and fighting the Corrupted Poison Spider in front of him...

A small spider.

But she pounced on him from behind and bit Alan's unarmored side.

"Ah!"

Alan ripped the little spider off.

After killing his opponent, he knelt on one knee, the poison corroding his body.

Just as he was about to apply the medicine to himself.

A Corrupted Poison Spider of similar size seized the opportunity to charge forward, pressing down on Alan while he was unable to react.

Bang! Linsey reacted instantly from a tree dozens of meters away.

He drew his arrow, tightened the bowstring, and locked his aim on the spider that was attacking Alan.

Accompanied by the loud twang of the bowstring.

The head of the Corrupted Poison Spider was immediately pierced.

He took a deep breath, then released the bowstring in an instant. The arrow drew a bright trajectory through the night sky, striking the spider Devil Beast directly in the eye.

Accompanied by a painful scream.

The Corrupted Poison Spider shuddered violently, then collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Linsey jumped down from the tree and rushed over.

He pulled Alan out from under the spider's corpse and discovered that because the wound had not been treated with medicine in time, the toxins had aggravated the problem.

Linsey immediately pulled out Antidote Potion from her bag and forced it down Alan's throat.

"Quickly, drink it!"
