Hunting Time

The new day began, and the members of the Salt Lake Tribe, led by Zhou Xu, were still on the outskirts of the Black Forest, carrying out their hunt.

In fact, they had done the same every day before this.

Their actions were constantly squeezing the giant spider's living resources within the Black Forest, forcing the giant spider to frequently take the initiative and launch attacks against them.

This day was no different...

"Giant spider, the giant spider is here!!"

As the shout echoed, the tribe member responsible for watching the giant spider was now running towards them.

Thinking back, the reason the giant spider was able to reach them directly the first time it appeared was that the scout had made too much noise, attracting the giant spider.

Of course, dwelling on this issue now was pointless.

Hearing the shout, Zhou Xu, though still a little nervous, was completely calm.

"What's the panic? We're here to hunt it this time!"

Zhou Xu's words instantly gave the surrounding tribe members a sense of direction.

"Sound the signal, proceed according to the original plan."

Almost as soon as he said this, their main target for this expedition appeared at the edge of his vision.

Although they had encountered this giant spider many times recently due to the limited food in the area, the fact remained that this monstrous creature, with its ferocious appearance, always instilled a sense of immense pressure in them!

With its eight legs moving in coordination, the giant spider was as agile as ever. Its rapid approach put immense pressure on everyone!

"Prepare your slings, begin the attack as arranged during the drills!"

At the command, tribe members stationed in various parts of the Black Forest began swinging their slings, launching attacks at the giant spider, but with little effect.

"Ch-chief, is this really going to work?"

In just this short time, the tribe member who had come to report was already showing his excellent potential as a professional at backing out, starting to waver.

Facing this situation, Zhou Xu, as the tribe chief, even though he was equally nervous, would absolutely not show it.

"Do you know the biggest difference between humans and beasts?"

As a heavy thud sounded in the distance, Zhou Xu tapped his own head.

"It's the brain. Humans use their brains."

At this very moment, two thick spider legs on one side of the giant spider sank into a pit.

The pit wasn't very deep, and it would be easy for the giant spider to climb out. Zhou Xu knew from the beginning that it was unrealistic to restrain the giant spider with just a pit trap.

"Now!!"

Shouting this loudly, Zhou Xu charged forward while quickly swinging the strange rope tied with stones at both ends.

As he gained speed, Zhou Xu bent down and threw it low to the ground.

Pulled by the stones at both ends, the flying rope spun and, upon impact, directly entangled the spider's leg.

At the same time, tribe members scattered in other locations took out similar weapons and threw them.

Their flying rope throwing skills were by no means excellent, as it had only been a week since Zhou Xu made them.

However, as long as the target lost its mobility and they could close the distance appropriately, increasing the margin for error, the technical issues could soon be overcome.

After one round of flying ropes, the giant spider's two legs stuck in the pit hadn't even been pulled out yet, and the six exposed legs were successively bound by the flying ropes.

The massive body that had just propped itself up crashed to the ground again, rendering the giant spider completely immobile!

This sudden turn of events clearly panicked the giant spider, and it began to struggle frantically.

But with all eight legs entangled by the flying ropes, it couldn't exert any strength.

"Watch out for the silk sprayed from the giant spider's belly! Avoid that area, attack its joints! Take off all eight legs!"

Up to this point, the smoothly progressing plan had greatly reassured Zhou Xu, and he felt completely at ease.

With this grand plan as the main focus, he had already assigned tasks to the tribe members, and now that they had received the signal, their actions were swift.

Dali charged the fastest. After closing in, he aimed at the joint of the giant spider's leg and swung his stone axe down with a mighty blow!

While the giant spider's carapace provided decent defense, capable of withstanding the stone projectiles from the slings, the joint areas, to ensure flexibility, were always weaker.

With this powerful axe strike, accompanied by the shattering of the joint's carapace, greenish-blue insect blood splattered out.

The giant spider immediately cried out in pain, letting out sharp shrieks, and its struggles became even more frenzied.

Not wanting any unexpected changes, Zhou Xu sped up his actions.

He directed the tribe members wielding stone axes to cut off the giant spider's eight legs one by one.

Without its eight legs, even if the giant spider didn't die, it would be powerless to resist. As long as they avoided the parts that sprayed silk, wouldn't it be at their mercy?

Under continuous attack, with a mournful cry, the giant spider's life was extinguished.

Looking at the monster's corpse before them, the tribe members who had been tense moments ago, frantically swinging their stone axes, suddenly froze in place.

"It, it's dead?"

"It's really dead."

"We did it, we actually did it!!"

It was completely unimaginable. Before, they could only flee in disarray when facing this giant spider, but now they could kill it so easily!

The entire process felt somewhat unbelievable to them.

And if you were to ask who made it possible for them to achieve this, the tribe members, their emotions having calmed down slightly, all turned to look at Zhou Xu, who was standing not far away.

At this moment, the reverence in their eyes was almost beyond measure.

Feeling the gazes falling upon him, Zhou Xu was also incredibly excited, but in front of so many tribe members, he still had to maintain some of his dignity as the chief.

Calming his emotions and organizing his thoughts, Zhou Xu quickly beckoned to Fei Que beside him.

"Fei Que, go back to the tribe and have people come to deal with the giant spider's corpse."

As he spoke, Zhou Xu swept his gaze and efficiently selected four tribe members.

"Just in case, the four of you stay here and guard. The rest of you, follow me."

After giving his instructions, Zhou Xu directly led the way into the depths of the Black Forest.

There was no need to mention their destination; it was precisely the crevice cave that served as the giant spider's nest!
