Clang—
This time, with one swing of the pickaxe, the sound completely changed.
Gu Xi noticed this subtle change and immediately stopped.
Immediately afterwards, a red liquid seeped into the crevices of the aquamarine ore, turning the originally blue crystals into shades of red, making them look somewhat eerie.
"What is that?!"
Gu Xi was so startled that she quickly took two steps back.
Inside the aquamarine mine, a spider-like monster, its color similar to that of the aquamarine ore, slowly emerged.
Those hairy legs were as long as her forearm.
Gu Xi counted them; there were eight legs of that length.
Bright red liquid was still flowing from the spider's body. She guessed that this must have been an injury she had accidentally inflicted earlier.
The blue spider monster had a grotesque face, and its originally black eyes glowed red the moment it saw Gu Xi.
"Da da da"
The blue spider monster scurried down the wall of the aquamarine mine, heading towards Gu Xi.
Immediately afterward, the closer the blue spider got to Gu Xi, the more she felt the temperature around her drop.
Seeing the blue spider getting close, Gu Xi didn't have time to think. She quickly took out the iron spikes and stabbed them into the blue spider's wound.
"Squeak~"
The blue spider was pinned to the ground, making strange noises.
Its eight legs flailed in the air as it struggled in agony.
Having survived the first attack, Gu Xi summoned a second iron spike, preparing to continue his assault.
However, at that moment, countless red dots suddenly appeared on the surface of the aquamarine ore wall.
Gu Xi quickly looked around, and the sheer number of densely packed red dots alarmed her.
In an instant, the red dots began to reveal the shape of the blue spider.
Gu Xi then realized that these were the eyes of a blue spider.
No way, so many!
Continuing to mine is no longer possible, so Gu Xi slowly backed away towards the waterfall entrance.
The blue spiders slid down the wall with a clattering sound and gathered towards where Gu Xi was.
The sheer number of them, big and small, so densely packed, made her scalp tingle.
Upon reaching the entrance to the waterfall, she suddenly jumped backward and plunged into the water.
Unable to find their target, the blue spiders ceased all movement and slowly retreated into the walls of the aquamarine mine.
Gu Xi emerged from the water and swam a few strokes to the shore. She was still panting heavily after getting out of the water.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the blue spider hadn't caught up.
She guessed that the waterfall must have masked her presence, which allowed her to escape successfully.
Gu Xi plucked a handful of water from her hair and exhaled.
After successfully escaping the cave, the game finally gave you a hint.
[Game Hint: Azure Spider Found.]
Once you know the name, you can view the game instructions.
Gu Xi was no longer in the mood to complain about the game's network speed warnings; she quickly found information about the Blue Spider.
[Azure Spider, a by-product of aquamarine ore, possesses the ability to become invisible within the ore and prefers cool environments while disliking heat.]
Invisibility? Is that some kind of ridiculously overpowered ability?!
Gu Xi was speechless. How was she supposed to kill him if she couldn't see him?
Moreover, with the sheer number of blue spiders in the cave, it would probably drown people.
However, despite her complaints, she still had to come up with a solution.
She checked her bracelet; she still had half an hour to explore. Since she couldn't mine now, she decided to return the way she came.
She remembered seeing many flowers and plants when she arrived, and just in case she missed any herbs, she decided to take a look at them one by one.
When she comes tomorrow, she will make several extra-large plastic tanks to fill with water at the waterfall.
She will then go back into the cave, clear out the blue spiders, and continue exploring the cave.
It's just a spider, isn't it? Knowing her enemy and herself, she gradually found a way to deal with it. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
