Chapter 11

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Standing at the entrance of the cave, James Williams decided against entering the nest without understanding the situation. He picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the giant spider’s nest.

The sound of a stone hitting the wall was heard. A green light suddenly lit up at the dark entrance of the cave. Slowly, the number of green lights increased.

Following a series of rustling sounds, the green eyes grew bigger and bigger. A shadow appeared in front of James Williams.

[Giant spider: A giant mutated one-eyed spider. It can protrude its spider silk to entangle the opponent and wait for the opponent to be exhausted before eating it. Every spider can be exchanged for 40 experience points and 12 gold coins.]

[Level 7]

[Attack: 120]

[HP: 1,300]

[Defense: 105]

[Skills: Spider Silk Entangle and Wild Bite.]

This giant spider was nearly two meters tall! Two sharp teeth were exposed on the outside and had slime dripping down from them. The slime caused white smoke to rise from the ground.

It seemed that their saliva also had some corrosive ability. James Williams felt a headache forming. Why did all the monsters in the forest have a corrosive ability?

He had no choice but to drink a Life Recovery Potion. Then, he took out a bottle of Temporary Defense Potion and drank it, instantly, a silvery-white light and a fluorescent-green light slowly flew into his body. His HP began to increase, and his defense points increased by 30!

After Little Green and Little Orange felt the threat of the giant spider in front of them, they took the initiative to release their skills, Energy Fluctuation, and Corrosive Fangs.

Seeing that his pets had started attacking, James Williams could not sit idly by. He activated a huge Voodoo Barrier and had it locked onto the spider!

The Voodoo Barrier sealed off the entrance of the giant spider. Due to their huge size, there could only be one spider at the entrance. The second spider could only crawl out of the cave after the first one was dead.

However, since Voodoo Barrier was an area-of-effect attack, it sealed off the entrance and floated towards the inside of the cave. The giant spiders that wwereas trapped within could only silently take the damage.

– 78!

– 140!

– 68!

The one man and two pets’ attack caused the HP of the giant spider to drop rapidly. It did not last for more than five seconds before it fell to the ground.

James Williams quickly touched the corpse to obtain experience and reward.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained a pair of low-level silver boots!]

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have obtained gold coins and experience!]

His level 3 experience bar was only a few points away from level 4, however, the bar was stuck there, unmoved. He was awfully close to gaining a new skill that could be used to kill the second giant spider.

Unfortunately, he was still some points away. He could only pull away first. James Williams conjured an energy cannonball from his hand, and his two pets also launched normal attacks.

– 64!

– 79!

– 56!

Psst! White spider silk that was released from beneath the giant spider rapidly wrapped around James Williams’ legs.

– 106!

Then, it pulled him to its side. James Williams saw that he was getting closer and closer. He grabbed onto the nearest branch with one hand to stall for time, while the energy cannonball in the other hand continuously attacked the giant spider.

Finally, just as the spider was about to bite him, James Williams’ skill, Voodoo Barrier, was ready! He instantly cast it.

The Voodoo Barrier instantly covered the cave in front of him. At this moment, he was also standing at the entrance of the giant spider’s cave. He hurriedly touched the corpse of the second giant spider to obtain experience and gold coins.

Suddenly, a beam of light descended upon James Williams’ body. He had finally leveled up. Now that he had leveled up, he actually felt like crying because of how close he was to death. He was about to fall into the mouth of the giant spider in the next second.

Following that, he quickly retreated. As the third giant spider was about to emerge, he once again cast Voodoo Barrier. The two Voodoo Barriers overlapped and dealt damage. Little Orange’s skill was also ready, and a wave of energy shot into the cave of the giant spider.

The movement speed reduction and damage dealt by Energy Fluctuation in addition to the double Voodoo Barriers caused the third giant spider to die before it could even walk out of the cave. 

Suddenly, James Williams had an idea. If he did not touch the body of the giant spiders, would the other spiders be trapped in the cave as they would be blocked by their companions’ corpse?

With this thought in mind, James Williams did not walk into the cave to collect the experience and gold coins from the third giant spider.

On the Eternity Continent, the killer of the monster was the one who would obtain the most experience points while a small portion of it would be on the corpse of the monster. Moreover, the rewards were only exclusive to the killer for the first three minutes. Once the time was up, anyone could collect the rewards.

However, the reality was not as simple as he thought. The eight legs that belonged to the giant spiders were enough for them to step on the corpses of their companions and climb out of the cave.

However, they only had 2,300 HP left after climbing out. The normal attacks of James Williams and his two pets were enough to kill them.

Four giant spiders! They still did not know how many giant spiders were in the cave. However, James Williams thought that since this was such a good place for him to level up and gain equipment, why not use it?

…

A few hours passed, and the morning fog had disappeared under the sun’s rays, leaving only the groans and dust coming from the entrance of the giant spider’s cave.

James Williams had been grinding here for three hours. He looked at his level. He was now level 11, and Little Green and Little Orange had reached level 12 and 11 respectively.

The experience gained from the giant spiders was no longer of much use to him.

Moreover, after leveling up, their damage had also increased. It became very easy to kill these monsters.

James Williams walked to the entrance of the cave. The densely packed corpses of the giant spiders were almost piled up into a small hill. He reached out his hand and touched the corpses to receive the rewards.

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a low-level bronze wizard skill book.]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained a low-level silver archer skill book.]

[Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained gold coins and experience.]

…

After listening to the long list of rewards, James Williams reached level 12 with the experience points he earned! Little Green’s and Little Orange’s experience points also increased.

Looking at the dazzling array of items in his backpack, James Williams was so happy that the corners of his mouth refused to close. Although some of the items here were not useful to him, most of the items inside could be sold for a large sum of gold coins. After all, it had only been a few hours since the start of the game.

Although he was not a rich player, the speed at which he could earn money in the game was much faster than working hard on the outside..
