Liu Enxi (Ping): "Are you asleep? Sorry to bother you in the middle of the night."
Liu Enxi (Ping): "I have just explored the surrounding area, but I have not yet fully explored it. However, I have discovered an unusual cave."
Yoo Eun-hee (Ping): "That cave was full of giant spiders; I used all my strength to kill them..."
Liu Enxi, "Ping": "Screenshot from a Light Screen"
Liu Enxi (Ping): "I'm starting to feel really weak. I'm almost exhausted. Can we continue exploring tomorrow?"
Spider? Xi Xi frowned slightly and opened the photo sent by Liu Enxi.
The photo shows a scene of utter devastation, a horrific sight after a massacre.
Xi Xi zoomed in with two fingers in surprise. Although Liu Enxi lacked critical thinking skills, her combat prowess was quite formidable. She had actually single-handedly slaughtered the entire giant spider cave!
In the photo, the spider's once long legs are now twisted helplessly and scattered haphazardly on the surrounding rocks. Some legs are cruelly broken off, leaving only fragments of its carapace.
Their bodies were cut open by sharp blades, and clear mucus flowed from the wounds, mixing with the surrounding mud and sand to form a murky area.
Some spiders had their heads smashed, leaving only empty holes around their eyes, while others had their bodies torn in half, exposing their internal organs and bodily fluids to the air.
Xi Xi carefully examined the surrounding environment and was somewhat surprised to find that this cave was significantly more humid than the place where the albino female NPC had been!
The cave was dimly lit, but one could vaguely see water droplets about to drip from the ceiling. The cave walls and ceiling had various shapes, and the ground was slightly slippery, covered with moss and small puddles.
“Something’s not right…” A shadow fell over Xi Xi’s brow as she turned to look at the spider corpses, realizing the gravity of the situation.
These spiders are not terrestrial cave spiders!
It's actually a giant sea spider that lives in water!
In the original world, the body of the sea spider, viewed from a human perspective, would undoubtedly appear small and fragile.
They do not have the full and powerful bodies of spiders on land. Instead, they have a nearly transparent, slender tubular structure, like a forgotten veil in the sea.
In the photo, these giant spiders, despite their enormous size, still appear relatively small in stature, and their legs are exceptionally long.
These legs are quite different from those of terrestrial spiders, because sea spiders, due to their physiological habits, have legs that are longer, thinner, and softer, making it easier for them to swim and move among coral reefs and seaweed.
Xi Xi discovered that even the colors matched! Sea spiders are mostly light brown or almost colorless and transparent, which is exactly the same as the giant spider in the photo.
But... "The tunnel is a mountain road, so why are there sea spiders?" Xi Xi was puzzled. She ignored the fishing rod beside her and stroked the stray hairs at her temples in disbelief.
Liu Enxi (Ping): "No wonder, I was wondering why these giant spiders would drop this."
Liu Enxi (Ping): "Miss Xi, take a look at this, see if you have any clues."
Adventurer Yoo Eun-hee has gifted you *1. Would you like to accept it?
Deep-sea crystals!? Xi Xi's heart skipped a beat, and she gasped in shock. Sea spiders actually drop deep-sea crystals—an essential material for crafting the Sea-Suppressing Soul Pearl!
Xi Xi held the deep-sea crystal in her hand; it felt slightly cool to the touch, but its color was much richer than that of the shallow-sea crystal.
[Item Description: Ornamental Crystal. A rare crystal that takes years to form in the deep sea.]
Xi Xi : "Only one fell?"
Liu Enxi (Ping): "Yes, only one was lost. There are also two keys to open locked treasure chests."
Adventurer Yoo Eun-hee has gifted you 2 Treasure Chest Keys. Would you like to accept them?
Xi Xi refused the key Liu Enxi offered; she wasn't that greedy.
Xi Xi (Xiao Ji): "Are you hurt?"
Liu Enxi (Ping): "It's alright, just a common scratch."
Xi Xi (Xiao Ji): "Observe for any abnormalities. Don't be careless; many spiders are poisonous."
After pondering for a moment, Xi Xi gave Liu Enxi the small first aid kit she had just acquired.
Xi Xi (Xiao Ji): "I'll accept the deep-sea crystal, but this first-aid kit is for you."
Xi Xi (Xiao Ji): "I checked and there are a few fever reducers and antibiotics inside, as well as alcohol and hydrogen peroxide. You can disinfect yourself and then give some medicine to your sister."
They are now in the same team working on the rare book. Xi Xi sincerely hopes that the Liu Enxi sisters will not encounter any unexpected situations that are difficult to deal with before obtaining the rare book reward, since she can only participate remotely.
When Yoo Eun-hee received the medical kit, tears welled up in her eyes, not because of the pain, but because of this unexpected care and help.
In fact, she was seriously injured, but her sister was still unconscious, so she had no time to care for her.
The injured girl gritted her teeth, each step accompanied by sharp pains in her knees. She immediately took out the medicine, walked to her sister, unscrewed the thermos cap, and carefully fed her the medicine.
Then Liu Enxi breathed a sigh of relief and began to treat her wounds.
It hurt a lot. But every wipe and every bandage was like planting a seed of hope in her heart.
Tears finally streamed down my face, a mixture of emotion and warmth, proof that hope has been rekindled in this world...
As the sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, Chu Zhiqin hauled in her last net.
"What a great harvest today!" Xi's mother pulled the fleece blanket around herself and began to pack up the fishing gear.
