A group of enormous stone shrimp slowly approached, the smallest of which was about the same height as Liu Nian, and the largest was only comparable in size to the Abomination.
Fortunately, they meant no harm and only came to eat the pebbles on the ground nearby.
Watching them easily chew the hard pebbles like snacks, Liu Nian felt a slight ache in her teeth.
At the same time, I had a wild idea: if teeth were to endorse toothpaste, wouldn't that be amazing?
Once he got close enough and saw that they didn't seem to want to cause him any trouble, Liu Nian carefully passed by them. Even without any malice, the sheer size of these creatures was overwhelming.
Having no desire to explore this area, Liu Nian headed straight ahead, hoping to quickly find a path to the next area.
The next area is still rocky terrain, but there are no giant creatures like stone shrimp here.
However, Liu Nian did not expect that the monsters here were even more dangerous than the stone shrimp.
The evil spirit, walking on the edge, accidentally stepped into the spider web laid on the ground. A group of spiders quietly crawled down from the abyss above. They quickly climbed down to the ground along the hanging spider silk, without making a sound throughout the whole process.
If it weren't for the demon's screams, Liu Nian wouldn't have known she was being attacked.
He soon discovered the attacking spiders, which were pure white except for their blood-red eyes, and actively attacked any creatures that entered their webs.
The summoned creature that entered the web staggered, clearly slowed down by the web on the ground, while the ball-sized spider moved swiftly on the web, completely unaffected.
However, unlike Liu Nian's cave-dwelling demons, these spiders, like the spiders laid by the Spider Queen, only have jumping attacks and biting abilities.
Although they were elite units, even heroes can't withstand numbers. After realizing what was happening, the spiders were surrounded by the summoned creatures.
Like the rabbit-men, these spiders attacked not just the young ones, but the older ones too. The swarm of spiders, lurking in the darkness, brought their families along as they attacked Liu Nian.
A rustling sound came from the darkness, and then a series of spiders began to attack the outer defenses of the summoned creatures.
In the blink of an eye, another chaotic battle broke out. However, unlike last time, this time Liu Nian's side had a view of every scene.
The flock of ravens stood atop the tall rocks, observing the chaotic scene and silently providing Liu Nian with a view.
Suddenly, ripples spread across Liu Nian's shield. It turned out that some of the spiders that had attacked from afar had the ability to throw stones from a distance, and it was the stones they had thrown that hit Liu Nian's shield.
Well, I just said that spiders' attack methods are somewhat primitive, but the slap in the face came so quickly. How can Liu Nian bear this?
"A ranged attack, huh?" Liu Nian raised an eyebrow, watching the spider still throwing stones.
These spiders have a black shell on their bodies, which looks quite hard.
Regardless of all that, even if a turtle comes today, we'll skin it alive. If we don't retaliate, they'll think Liu Nian is easy to bully.
"Tiffany, hit her!"
With Liu Nian's command, Tiffany began to independently direct the entire long-range force.
In an instant, magic and arrows flew together, enveloping that area.
It has to be said that any creature that can survive in this abyss must have some skill. After being attacked several times, the group of spiders hiding in the shadows immediately huddled together, using their hard shells to protect themselves.
Apart from magical attacks, the other arrows struck their shells and were deflected.
Upon seeing this, Liu Nian sneered, "Don't think you're safe just because of this!"
He began to conjure a new spell in his hands. A level 20 Amplify Damage and Disintegrate Ray silently descended upon the spiders, instantly reducing their defenses to negative values.
The poor spider thought it could avoid harm by retracting its head, naively hiding inside its shell, completely unaware of the impending disaster.
Subsequent shots easily broke through their defenses, and by the time they tried to escape, it was too late. The two groups of cave demons immediately surrounded them with silk.
Then, after several rounds of concentrated long-range attacks, they were riddled with holes.
Looking at the spiders lying all over the ground, Liu Nian felt a secret satisfaction; the cave-dwelling demons could expand and upgrade by another squadron.
Otherwise, where do you think Liu Nian got these two teams of spiders? They were contributed by the Spider Queen.
Without the assistance of ranged spiders, the melee spiders were slowed down by the mass slow spell and couldn't escape. They could only be eliminated one by one by Liu Nian's summoned creatures.
To prevent any remaining spiders, Liu Nian ordered the surrounding spider nests to be cleaned up as well.
During the cleanup, an unexpected rope leading downwards was discovered in the very center of the spider area.
Looking at the eerie red light emanating from the cave entrance below, Liu Nian was torn between his inner turmoil and his own conscience.
Should we continue exploring this ridiculously large area, or try our luck on the next level?
Anyway, I don't know what I need to do to beat the game, so I can only wander around aimlessly.
Why not go anywhere and have some fun? With that in mind, Liu Nian finally decided to go and explore.
The reason is that since this area is already confirmed to be ridiculously large, what if there's a treasure room underneath that isn't very big?
Even if the space below is also very large, it wouldn't hurt to explore that level first.
Although this is very torturous for Liu Nian, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Using a summoning spell on the spider corpses, Liu Nian found they were indeed the familiar cave-dwelling demons, and immediately chose to recruit them all.
After the magic circle representing the dead sacrificed the remains of these spiders, a flash of green light appeared, and a large group of cave-dwelling demons marched out of the magic circle.
Fortunately, it was a hidden profession, and Liu Nian could afford to squander his soul power. In the past, he would have hesitated and carefully calculated his resources.
The rope for descending was secured to a wooden stake in front of the cave. Before going down, Liu Nian tugged on it a few times to prevent it from aging.
If the rope breaks on the way down... could you please say something nice about me?
If I were to end the story here, I really can't imagine how the readers would react.
Liu Nian descended cautiously, her palms burning from the friction against the rope.
Although there were some bumps and stumbles, they eventually landed safely on another level.
When Liu Nian finally landed on the ground and felt her feet touching solid ground, it felt unreal.
Looking at the dark opening above, Liu Nian wasn't sure if he still had the courage to climb up.
The place where Liu Nian is now is still made of stone, but the difference is that the road is paved with cobblestones.
Cracks appeared intermittently in the ground in the distance, and the red light just now came from these cracks.
Before Liu Nian could figure out which side to start exploring from, she felt a trembling sensation under her feet.
It felt like an earthquake; Liu Nian was a little unsteady on her feet, and stones kept falling down on her head.
Fortunately, Liu Nian's magical shield provided him with protection, and the stones that hit Liu Nian were easily deflected by the shield.
Perhaps because Liu Nian wasn't in enough trouble, while dodging the falling rocks, he also noticed several mounds of earth rising in the distance and heading towards his position.
Gripping the lantern tightly, Liu Nian prepared to face the horde of blind abyssal worms.
