Speaking Wastes Teeth

[Spider Crisis] - [Task Completed]

Corrupted Poison Spider

[Leader Kill Achievement: 0/1 → 1/1]

The text on the Task Bar refreshed, and the leader kill count in the Hunting Notes was also updated.

The Corrupted Poison Spider, utterly powerless to resist, had its skull pierced by his Flame Armor-Piercing Arrow.

The flames charred the corpse, and the exoskeleton emitted a burnt, caramelized smell in the air, like roasted insects.

Then, Linsey licked her teeth.

"Ugh... it feels so bad?"

When the Corrupted Poison Spider speaks, it mainly produces sound by rubbing its fangs together.

Linsey can understand it, but imitating that voice is another matter entirely.

I just had a question-and-answer session with the Corrupted Poison Spider.

As a human, Linsey doesn't have huge fangs, so she can only try to imitate them by rubbing her own teeth together.

In terms of results...

Linsey achieved his goal, and now his mouth was really sour and unbearably uncomfortable.

"Let's gather materials first."

[Material: Huge Lord Spider Leg]

It can be used for cooking, or as an ingredient in weapon crafting.

[Rare spider Lord's legs! There is usually only one Lord in a spider colony.]

"Roasted spider legs..."

Linsey imagined herself gnawing on a spider's leg, then obediently began to examine the synthesis formula.

[1 Huge Lord Spider Leg + 8 Spider Silk + 3 Spider Poison Sac = Spider Silk Night Shadow]

[1 Huge Lord Spider Leg + 2 Spider Poison Sac + 2 Spider Poison Fang = Poison Spider Great Blade]

"You can only choose one of the two."

On the crafting list, the Poison Spider Great Blade is simple and straightforward, just a grotesque spider leg greatsword. In contrast, the Spider Silk Night Shadow is more eye-catching, as it is shaped like a unique short bow.

After a brief moment of thought, Linsey decided to create [Spider Silk Night Shadow].

In close combat, he has the Ice Badger Dagger and the Wolf Tooth Club, which are more than enough for now; on the other hand, although the Iron Horn Great Bow is very powerful, its loud noise often causes inconvenience in battle, so he definitely needs a replacement secondary weapon.

On the Workbench, the materials began to fuse.

[Weapon: Spider Silk Night Shadow]

[A lightweight bow with extremely low draw weight and a highly elastic spider silk bowstring, greatly increasing the user's firing speed; a sharp bowstring can be used directly in melee combat; consuming Essence allows attacks to inflict a potent spider venom.]

A lightweight bow made of various materials is of high value.

"A significant increase in rate of fire?"

Linsey held the Spider Silk Night Shadow in her hand.

This jet-black, light, short bow is about three feet long and weighs very little.

However, the grotesque spider leg bones are as hard as steel and possess surprising elasticity.

At the ends of the jet-black spider legs, countless strands of white spider silk, as fine as dust, form bowstrings, their surfaces shimmering with a silvery-white luster.

It's hard to imagine that this is a short bow that can be used in actual combat.

"Anyway, let's try it out and see how it goes."

Linsey took out an Armor-Piercing Arrow, nocked it on the bowstring, and prepared to test-fire at the surrounding Corrupted Poison Spider.

But right before his eyes, the Corrupted Poison Spider receded like a tide.

These dangerous Devil Beast were already quite frightened by Linsey's Fear Aura, and their remaining in place was a result of the Corrupted Poison Spider spiders' strict order.

Now that their Lord is dead, fear has completely taken hold of their hearts.

Without the slightest hesitation, these highly venomous spiders scattered and fled into the surrounding mountains and forests, their bodies quickly disappearing into the woodlands.

Linsey had no choice but to find an unlucky oak tree to use as her shooting target.

The result was as he expected.

The range and power of the Spider Silk Night Shadow are inferior to those of the Iron Horn Great Bow.

But it's incredibly fast! With Linsey's current amazing Constitution, the speed at which she draws a bow and shoots an arrow is almost lightning fast.

[Spider Silk Night Shadow] can easily handle this speed.

If accuracy were disregarded, Linsey could even unleash an absurd rate of fire with this weapon, like a repeating crossbow! Linsey was quite satisfied with this.

Before leaving, he gave the corpse of the Fifth Stage Corrupted Poison Spider a final check.

Unfortunately, the Parasitic Bee had already died inside the other party's body.

"However, such a record is already quite good."

Linsey, however, didn't seem particularly disappointed.

After all, if he were to fight the Corrupted Poison Spider head-on, his chances of winning would be extremely slim.

Being able to exchange an achievement reward for killing a Fifth Stage Devil Beast is definitely a very worthwhile deal.

"Claim the mission rewards, and also the Hunting Notes achievement."

Under the cover of night, Linsey bid farewell to the Fifth Stage Devil Beast corpse and walked in the direction from which it had appeared.

On the way, he sorted out his gains.

The "Spider Poison Corpse Water" reward in the mission consists of five bottles of potion that, as the name suggests, can quickly dissolve a human-sized corpse within 10 seconds.

Linsey has limited experience points, so she'll keep them as a reserve for now.

As for the Leader Kill Achievement in the Hunting Notes.

This kind of unique individual kill doesn't grant a new title, only a reward item.

[Glasses: Crimson Spider Eye Goggles]

[Wearing these devices improves visual range, night vision, and the ability to detect moving objects.]

[This item enhances visual perception in multiple ways and is of moderate value.]

It is an achievement item from the Corrupted Poison Spider.

The appearance of the Crimson Spider Eye Goggles is terrifying.

Its main body is formed by ferocious, crimson spider eyes. When Linsey puts it on, he looks like a mutated human with a bunch of eyes on his face.

His attire contrasted sharply with the pink floral wreath on his head.

Her entire demeanor was so chaotic that it was impossible to judge her.

"Well!"

"Can you see that wide and that high?"

Meanwhile, Linsey didn't care at all about her change in appearance, after all, improved eyesight was a real benefit! Even without consciously trying to control it, she was wearing goggles.

The view he could see was also a whole circle wider than before.

Moreover, it was nighttime, and many things in the surrounding woodland were not visible, but this was no longer the case after improving night vision.

Experiencing the unique enhancements brought by his new equipment, Linsey's location gradually extends deeper into the mountains.

The territory of the decaying spider is filled with white webs.

But a few hundred meters later, the scenery ahead was completely different.

The entire forest was covered by an endless expanse of enormous spiderwebs. The dense, silvery threads shimmered under the moonlight, forming intricate geometric patterns that created a vast Maze at first glance.

Whenever a breeze blows, the spider webs flutter in the wind, as if ghosts are moving through the forest.

The entire forest was enveloped within it!

Linsey, however, didn't seem to care much when she arrived at this area.

He stepped inside, but after only a couple of steps, he heard spiders approaching. Upon recognizing him, they quickly fled.

In order to get away from Linsey as soon as possible.

The rustling sound of their feet stepping on the branches could be heard almost everywhere in the forest.

"..."

Linsey shrugged helplessly.

He had no choice but to open the map and mutter under his breath as he walked deeper into the spider web.

"Come, let me see where the treasure you mentioned is."
