Chapter Twelve: Spider Cave (I)

  Four guys were very arrogant, secretly discussing something on one side, leaving Ye Xiu to work hard alone. Fortunately, they didn't completely take Ye Xiu as a fool, after considering it carefully the four of them rushed up to help Ye Xiu clear the monsters, while clearing explaining their extremely lazy behavior: "Earlier the guild had some matters, we were a bit distracted, now it's fine."

  "Everyone, let's work hard." Ye Xiu said calmly, without arousing any suspicion.

  The four of them secretly rejoiced, and for this period of time they worked together in harmony. With the addition of Ye Xiu, a great master, this new team was able to clear the level with ease, each person killing monsters with great speed and efficiency, their movements smooth and effortless, without revealing any signs of the "ghost" among them.

  "This guy's attack is so high, didn't you notice?" Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian were still whispering to each other.

  "It seems so, what equipment is that spear you used, I've never seen it before." Yue Zhongmeng said.

  "I don't know either," Tian Qi said. "I didn't notice it when I was using the low-level spear."

  "It would be great if it could explode when I kill this guy." said Moon Zhongmian.

  "What's the use of bursting out? Even if the attack is high, it's still a low-level product and can't be used for several days." Tian Qi said.

  "That's also true." Moon nodded in agreement.

  Both sides did not provoke each other, and cooperated harmoniously. Green Forest came in and out, with high efficiency. The only pity was that they never encountered the hidden BOSS, Dark Night Cat Demon.

  After killing a few waves, Junmo Xiao was the first to reach level 10. No wonder, he was the first to kill the Dark Night Cat Demon, which came with a substantial amount of experience rewards. Green Forest only had this one hidden BOSS, and just from this one kill, Junmo Xiao was already quite high up on the level rankings for the 10th district. However, the player who broke through to level 10 first wasn't him. That player's name was Lanhe, and breaking through to level 10 for the first time had already been his second appearance on the system announcements. The first time was when he completed the Green Forest first kill with four other players.

  When he saw you, don't laugh, quickly reached level 10, Ye Xiu and others were all tense, fearing that this guy would suddenly flash away to do the busywork of level 10. Who knew that Ye Xiu just smiled and said "I leveled up", then in a chorus of congratulations, followed the four into the Green Forest again.

  A dark night cat demon's first kill didn't yield too much experience, but this time the five of them reached level 10 after clearing the dungeon. They also added a lot of equipment to their inventory.

  "Brother, we're working well together. Now that all four of us are level 10, how about we go explore the Spider Cave?" Tian Qi said to Ye Xiu. Yue Zhong had a past conflict with Ye Xiu, and this sudden display of affection made him feel uneasy. As a result, Yue Zhong continued his unfriendly attitude towards Ye Xiu, while Tian Qi occasionally chimed in with a laugh, trying to mediate the situation.

  Ye Xiu agreed with the suggestion and decided to go learn some skills first. Skill points weren't just given by quests, but also as rewards for leveling up, killing a certain number of monsters, and completing some challenge tasks. These were all rigid indicators that could ultimately lead to 4,000 skill points. This time, he was upgrading from level 7 to 10, and not many skill points had been accumulated, but the key point was that level 10 was another stage where new skills could be learned.

  The other four also had to learn, so they each found a mentor to learn skills and then headed to the Spider Cave to reunite.

  There aren't many people at the entrance of Spider Cave, after all, this group of players is also considered to be one of the faster-rising players, and players who refer to new player strategies will not consider this instance.

  Outside the gate, there were only a few scattered players forming teams. Due to the high difficulty of this instance, they would ask each other about their equipment. Forming a team wasn't that smooth. Ye Xiu and his four teammates were straightforward, not saying anything, and directly entered. However, this time, the four from Moonlight Sleeping again started being sneaky.

  "Kill him immediately or see what happens?" someone whispered.

  "Why don't we first take a look at this person, he's indeed a good fighter. Let's utilize him for now and think of a way to deal with him when the time comes?" Tian Qi suggested.

  "Hmm." The others had no objection, to be honest, they didn't have any grudges against Ye Xiu. Seeing how well he fought, as the team's first output warrior, they were somewhat reluctant to let him go, but for the sake of their friend, Month in Slumber, they finally had to take this step. Although no one said anything, they all felt a sense of regret in their hearts.

  "Have you all brought antidotes?" Ben Houtian asked the crowd as they entered, everyone nodded, but Ye Xiu just smiled casually and said: "No need."

  "This guy, asking for death." Yue Qianyun was very displeased with Ye Xiu's confident tone.

  "It's more convenient for us to do things." Tian Qi always had a broad-minded attitude.

  The light in the spider cave is dim, and broken cobwebs can be seen everywhere. From time to time, some scattered bones are seen on the ground, looking gloomy and terrifying. Moon Zhongmian and others were a bit nervous, as death would result in experience loss, 10% in ordinary worlds, and equipment might also drop, but with a relatively low probability. This was even more frightening in the realm of the gods, where death would result in a 20% loss of experience, and equipment had a high probability of being dropped.

  Look at you, don't laugh, it's just like in the forest of Green, carrying his war spear and walking big steps forward. The four people sleeping in the moon saw this guy actively detecting mines, which is also good.

  Ye Xiu had almost forgotten about these low-level copies, he seemed to have done a strategy for the Spider Cave back then but now couldn't remember it at all. It was already nearly ten years ago after all.

  Ye Xiu quickly typed on the keyboard with his left hand and moved the mouse with his right, while Jun Moxiao dodged to the side with a flip, then immediately countered with a Sky Strike.

  A poisonous green spider pounced, after being struck by the heavenly blow, it was lifted up with its belly facing upwards. Adding attacks to a floating target is the most basic operation in Glory, how could Ye Xiu miss this opportunity? After a dense burst of keyboard and mouse sounds, Jun Moxiao jumped forward, spear in hand, and from mid-air to landing, he unleashed a flurry of wild stabs at the green spider. Four consecutive shots rang out, each hitting their mark, and the green spider was directly pinned to a stone crevice.

  "My god, no way!" Tian Qi exclaimed in shock.

  "Floating Air Four Consecutive Stabs!!" Another person shouted in surprise.

  "Can you really pull off a four-hit aerial combo at level 10?" The third person asked.

  He was so astonished that he could only gape with his mouth wide open and couldn't say a word.

  Floating Four-Link Stab, a combat technique that few people know but can't do. In theory, it's simple: use the normal attack's straight stab and dragon tooth, plus the two consecutive stabs of the level 10 combat skill "Tsuji", to complete four straight stabs on a floating target.

  "I heard that a hand speed of 170 or higher is required to perform this combo," Tian Qi said.

  "Is that after switching to a combat mage with attack speed bonus?" Another person reminded.

  "He's just a lone wanderer now..."

  "What's the difference in attack speed between Wanderer and Battle Mage?"

  "I don't know, I still need to consider the equipment. His current equipment can't possibly have increased attack speed." Jun Mo Xiao's equipment was basically all obtained from instances they had done together.

  "What about the gun? Is it his gun?"

  "Don't look for excuses anymore. Even if I turn you all into battle mages and give you a set of Flowing Light armor with increased attack speed, can you still pull off the Four Consecutive Stabs in mid-air?"

  A moment of silence, if they could hit it out, they wouldn't be so surprised.

  "What kind of person is this?" The three of them looked towards the one sleeping in the moonlight.
