Chapter 55

…

…

As Ka Lu was in a rush to bring the girl to treatment, after resting, he said goodbye to Yi Qiu.

Thus, Yi Qiu headed to the abandoned temple ruins that Ka Lu mentioned. Ka Lu invited him to Kuhan, but Yi Qiu had rejected the offer.

His target was the Giant Spider and heading to Kuhan wouldn’t do much to help his goal.

He didn’t face enemies along the way. After walking for half an hour, he was able to see the temple from afar.

In a pile of building rubble, this old looking temple still stood there, it was standing out from everything else.

Yi Qiu could sense the amount of hard work and effort the guy who built it had put in. This building was totally different from the ones around it.

Two huge pillars supported the main body of the temple that was covered in dust. Even after a hundred years, it would be able to complete its responsibility.

Yi Qiu frowned. He took out the Cyborg Cowhead Monster King Brassart and equipped it.

Thinking about it, he took out a bottle of Hell Cowhead Monster’s Magnificence, using the power of the potion, he could try to open the Gate of Life. However, before he reached the final moment, he didn’t think about trying out such an extreme action.

After all, he wouldn’t have excess strength to pick up the spoils every time. Relying on potions to amass enough stats such that he could support Eight Gates was a really dangerous thing. He might faint from the pain before he even managed to attack.

Yi Qiu placed the Hell Cowhead Monster’s Magnificence in his pocket. If the situation was too bad and he had no chance to escape, then he would just go all out.

It was worth mentioning that the Hell Cowhead Monster’s Magnificence was a blue potion, held in a glass bottle. However, this bottle could be consumed, although the taste might not be any good.

But at the crucial moment, one could just shatter the glass and drink it. The glass had a type of element that would react with a human’s saliva.

In a very short time, it could turn from a hard shape into a soft gel-like thing. Moreover, it could still perfectly wrap up the potion within.

If one was afraid of there being no time to shatter it, one could even place the potion into one’s mouth first.

In a short time, it would turn into gel, and one just needed to store it in their mouth.

When needed, one would just swallow it. The gel would melt in the digestive tract and expose the potion within, allowing it to take effect very quickly.

A wizard invented this potion because he wanted to be able to drink that kind of noble creation when he was doing indescribable things. After all, to suddenly stop to cast a spell or take out a blue potion to drink just felt quite weird.

Some Integrated Network wizard players realized this and brought it into the Integrated Network, becoming the basic ingredient to make potions.

…

The land near the temple was quite complicated. Maybe because this was where the nobles gathered, there were many buildings that were concentrated in this region.

The buildings of these noble families weren’t as old as the temple, but the collapsed rubble made it tough for Yi Qiu to walk.

“Hu.”

After jumping across a collapsed outer wall, Yi Qiu wanted to rest.

Carefully walking for so long made him a little tired. It wasn’t his physical but his mental stamina that was being depleted.

After all, if he wasn’t careful, he would be crushed by several tonnes of stone. It was no different from walking in the air on thin metal strings. If one didn’t pay attention, one would be on a one way trip to heaven…

The temple was right in front of him, but it still took a really long time for him to head forward.

Yi Qiu predicted that in just 1-2 hours he would pass this large amount of rubble.

Some of them looked really strong and firm, but when Yi Qiu passed they would suddenly collapse. Without Reflex Dodge he probably wouldn’t end up in a good state.

Thus, Yi Qiu had to proceed really carefully. When passing those weak-looking broken walls, he threw a few pieces of stone to test them out. If he could make them collapse, he would.

If not, when he was crushed by a full building, the scene would look really bad.

Just at that moment, his eyes became serious. He noticed something interesting.

Under a broken wall, there was some brown leather. Although it was covered in dust and looked really old, it seemed out of place compared to the buildings around, like they weren’t from the same era.

Yi Qiu kicked the piece of leather and instantly two empty voids stared at him. It was the leather of a Brown Fur Wolfman.

It was the leather of its entire upper body like something had sucked its blood and bones dry, leaving the empty leather behind.

Yi Qiu instantly thought back to when he watched Animal Kingdom, spiders would wrap their prey with silk and then inject digestive juices, which would melt the bones and bodies of the prey.

The spider would use its straw-like mouth to suck the prey dry until it was left with an empty shell.

“Giant Spider?”

Yi Qiu played around with the empty wolf fur, and he noticed two empty holes on its head.

Yi Qiu compared it with his hand and found that it was actually bigger than his fist.

His expression became solemn. Just thinking about it made Yi Qiu feel a huge amount of pressure.

Humans instinctively feared spiders. In truth, apart from a few poisonous ones, a large portion of them didn’t threaten humans.

So, this was instinctively a really weird thing.

It was a similar case with snakes too; it was normal to be afraid of snakes. Whether it was their slithery bodies or colorful scales, or their lethal venom, they all made people terrified.

But one’s fear of spiders made no sense at all.

Until today, Yi Qiu felt his entire head go numb just thinking about a spider with such a huge feeding tube. He understood why humans instinctively feared spiders.

Maybe human ancestors suffered from being hunted by such large spiders which was why they would be left with thousands of years of fear…

Suddenly!

Yi Qiu felt the ground shake, the dust on the buildings all around started to shake off…

“Peng!”

Countless pieces of stone flew everywhere, and a giant shadow drilled out from the building and pounced toward Yi Qiu!

Instantly, Yi Qiu felt a black shadow cover the entire area in front of him…
