The Spider Emperor Falls, Yielding Two Bones; the System Bestows Rich Rewards in the Far North
One hour before the system notifications sounded,
Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, inky vines coiled around towering ancient trees, and a faint, bloody tang hung in the damp air.
This was the territory of a hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor. At the entrance to its lair, silvery-white silk cascaded like a waterfall. Venom condensed upon it and dripped onto the dead leaves, instantly corroding tiny pits into them.

Enshrinement Golden Crocodile stepped forward. His Golden Crocodile Dragon martial soul unfurled, and an enormous crocodile claw slammed into the ground.
