The Panic-Stricken Face

Bai Xiaowen first shot a Spider Demon at full health—facing Spider Demon that was unable to move, it was undoubtedly Vital Strike, and the Killing Thirst would also deduct another twenty or thirty points of true damage.

At this point, the target Spider Demon will awaken, but before it can launch an attack, it will be surrounded and beaten by Skeleton Champion and other creatures that have been sharpening their knives, and will fall within seconds.

Li Shuyi's output was equally sharp. Her level 7 advanced One-Handed Swordsmanship greatly increased her effective attack ratio, and she was able to deliver a series of Vital Strike!

All four Elite Tier Spider Demon fell dead in less than ten seconds, dropping a silver treasure chest.

Li Beihai was deeply shocked, but he was a man of both rough edges and keen observation. He noticed that Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi were handling the situation with ease, clearly having dealt with it without using any special techniques. He thought to himself, "It seems that the two children do indeed have the ability to kill Advanced Boss."

"I have to admit I'm getting old... Hmm, looks like retirement isn't far off."

Although the Spider Demon are agile and some are very well hidden, they are not without high-priority stealth skills. Bai Xiaowen's Mental Scan has a basic priority of 4 points, making it easy for him to catch and kill Elite Tier Spider Demon one by one.

As for the swarms of Calamity Spiderling, Fatty's mobile AOE attacks were enough to give them a hard time. When Fatty's Life Value was critically low in the latter half of the cleanup, Bai Xiaowen stepped in again and used a normal-state Orochi Nagi to wipe out the cluster of spiderlings.

Bai Xiaowen has gradually mastered the Orochi Nagi, and with his stamina, he can unleash it two or three times in a row. Moreover, awakened beings recover their stamina quickly, and Bai Xiaowen also has the aid of ale. After a single Orochi Nagi strike, he only needs to rest for about ten minutes before he's full of energy again.

Of course, this is also related to the low intensity of the battle. In a fierce battle, it would be impossible to give Bai Xiaowen more than ten minutes to recover his physical strength.

They advanced all the way to the depths of Spider Demon Valley. Bai Xiaowen couldn't remember how many Spider Demon he killed; it was just a bunch of easy prey.

Suddenly, Li Beihai's expression changed slightly, and he pressed the microphone on the walkie-talkie:

"Where? Tell me more clearly... Okay, I understand! Hold on, I'll be right there!"

Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi both stopped and looked at Li Beihai.

"What happened?" Bai Xiaowen asked.

Li Beihai waved his hand. "One group ran into some trouble, they couldn't even handle a few Elite Tier... Damn it, I have to go clean up their mess. Anyway, I've checked, you guys are strong enough, just be careful and nothing will go wrong. I'll drive over, help those little brats out, and then come back to pick you up."

Bai Xiaowen: "Okay, I estimate that our cleanup operation will be finished by then."

Li Beihai strode out, ran to the SUV, opened the door, and got in. The SUV then roared away, its engine blaring.

"Oh dear, it's a bit of a shame we didn't see the president make a move," Bai Xiaowen said.

"Aren't you supposed to be Insight? Didn't you take a look?" Li Shuyi asked.

"I'm not bored, why would I look at the guild leader's information?" Bai Xiaowen shrugged. "Awakened beings are different from those in the Spirit Realm. Many skills attached to equipment cannot Insight. Besides, the guild leader is a level 10 Elite Awakened, so the combat skill information Insight see is incomplete. It's a waste of Psionic Points."

After a pause, Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "But it's good that the president is gone. At least we can have some private space. With him around, I always felt pressured."

Li Shuyi lightly spat, "As long as you don't have any crooked thoughts, what pressure would you have? My dad thinks very highly of you..."

The two continued fighting, chatting and laughing.

Spider Demon Valley is perhaps one of the toughest monster gathering spots, but Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi cleared it out in just one morning. Next, they will thoroughly clean up the various caves to eliminate all the Spider Demon egg sacs.

The two took out a bottle of purified water from the Storage Space and washed themselves off the grime.

"Why isn't Dad back yet?" Li Shuyi looked at the sun in the sky. "It's been almost three hours."

"Two hours and forty-four minutes," Bai Xiaowen said casually. "Which gathering point did he go to?"

Li Shuyi shook her head.

Just as Bai Xiaowen was about to speak, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her left wrist out of the corner of her eye.

The Doom Bracelet bore a striking image of a panicked face!

Severe threat! A moment's carelessness could be fatal!

Bai Xiaowen felt a chill run down his spine. He raised his hand and summoned the creatures again, using the Targeted Airdrop skill to surround him and Li Shuyi, forming two large circles.

Crack!

A dagger that was originally aimed at Bai Xiaowen's head struck the spine of a Skeleton Sword-and-Shield Soldier, shattering him into countless Bone Shatter.

A faint shadow appeared behind Bai Xiaowen; it was a person completely covered from head to toe... or more precisely, an Awakened One!

At the same time, Li Shuyi was also attacked. A whistling arrow shot out and pierced Piercing the body of the Rageclaw! The Rageclaw's body, which was larger than a water buffalo, was actually deflected several steps by the arrow, and the damage value was as high as more than 160 points!

Fortunately, Rageclaw was positioned to cover for the enemy and wasn't their primary target, so he wasn't hit in a vital spot. Otherwise, it would have triggered the instant-kill effect of Vital Strike! Although it wouldn't have been fatal, his maximum Life Value would have been completely depleted. Bai Xiaowen, who Life Sharing with Rageclaw, would have inevitably suffered the shared damage.

"Your summoned creature has been attacked by Awakener Li Yingjie. For the next 30 minutes, you are in a state of self-defense, and your kill rating will be upgraded by one level."

"Your summoned creature has been attacked by Awakened Chen Tianyou..."

"Awakened Zhao You has used an S-Tier item on you: War Shackles. For 30 minutes, Non-Awakened Zhao You dies, you will be unable to use any teleportation items below S-Tier (including S), unable to use teleportation skills with a priority of 7 or lower (including 7), and unable to enter or leave the Spirit Realm."

Bai Xiaowen felt a slight heaviness in his body. This feeling did not come from his body, but from his mind. The S-Tier items in his Storage Space, the Mass Teleportation Scroll, were grayed out and unusable, and even the Permanent Fief Deed was grayed out.

Now, Bai Xiaowen has calmed down.

Since there's no way to retreat, let's face the enemy head-on!

The figures of three awakened individuals quickly approached. Together with the assassin behind Bai Xiaowen, there were four enemies in total.

The four of them were completely covered up, with only their eyes showing. Clearly, they didn't want to leave any evidence; without uttering a single word, they launched a fierce attack on Bai Xiaowen and Li Shuyi!

My nose feels like it's on fire lately...
