Chapter 6

Finally, the two of them saw the terrifying creature hovering above their heads, emitting a soft hissing sound.

“Hisssss…”

Its eyes were filled with extreme desire, but Bai Han tried to calm himself and spoke, “Don’t worry, it’s just a mutated creature that doesn’t resemble either a spider or a snake. You can even call it a slave.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the creature let out a fierce cry, and countless pythons and spiders fell from the surroundings, revealing the fearsome creature.

[Venomous Spider: Basic unit hatched by the mother spider]

[Skill: Possesses extremely venomous tentacles that can paralyze a person upon contact. However, if the parent spider is killed, all the spiders and pythons will die. Anti-magic items can offset poison damage once before losing effect.]

[Level: 6]

[HP: 50]

[Attack Power: Tentacles (100), Poison (Undefended targets will be killed in one hit. Defenders can be immune to it once.)]

Despite their small size, the venomous spiders were a force to be reckoned with. If they were any larger, Bai Han and Lin Yuwei might have been in serious trouble. However, Bai Han noticed that the spiders had a long cooldown time between venomous attacks. With careful timing, he could take them out before they had a chance to strike again, thus rendering their venomous attacks useless.

[Snake Python Spider: The ultimate predator that rules over all pythons and venomous spiders. Its appearance is a nightmare come true, with four of its antennae shaped like tongues and the other four shaped like spider legs. Its head is a combination of a spider and a snake, creating a grotesque and terrifying visage.]

[Skill: Possesses the same venomous properties as a normal Venomous Spider, but with a larger range and area of effect. It can also project huge eggs, which upon impact with a person’s body, will directly fossilize the person into three Venomous Spiders.]

[Level: 8]

[HP: 500]

[Attack Power: Tentacles (200), Venomous (Same as Venomous Spider)]

The four people who had been sitting outside the circle of poisonous spiders had fled without a trace, leaving Bai Han to ponder their timidity. After all, they were just facing a few weak spiders, right? However, the situation was much worse than he had initially thought. There were at least 10 to 20 huge pythons and 20 poisonous spiders surrounding them. Even these small spiders were level 6, explaining why the pythons looked like spiders.

This mythical realm was truly something to be reckoned with.

“Hiss… Hiss~!”

The hissing of countless spiders filled the air as they slowly crawled closer, causing the area around Bai Han and Lin Yuwei to shrink. Lin Yuwei was too scared to even speak, let alone look at the creatures. However, Bai Han had a plan. A direct confrontation would definitely not solve it.

The golden fruit that had just dropped from the previous monsters could be a game-changer here. If he were to raise his Agility to the limit, the venom of the spiders would not be able to distinguish between friend and foe. Just one touch could mean instant death for an undefended person.

With this in mind, Bai Han quickly consumed the golden fruit.

“I’m not joking with you this time. You have to hold on to me tightly. You have to believe in one thing now. Only by sticking to me can you become stronger. Think of something to fix you to my body,” Bai Han said seriously, trying to reassure Lin Yuwei.

As he spoke, he noticed that Lin Yuwei had stopped crying. He tore off his cloak and turned it into a thin rope, tightly tying himself to her. They now looked like a couple who depended on each other for survival or a father taking care of a frightened child.

“Now, I’m going to let you experience what it means to fly through time!” Bai Han exclaimed, as he noticed the spiders getting closer and closer. Sparks appeared under his feet, and just as the spiders were about to spit out their venom, the venom froze in mid-air. Taking advantage of this moment, Bai Han swiftly moved, carrying Lin Yuwei behind the pythons.

This was the incredible power of Agility raised to the limit.

In an instant, the venom splattered onto the spiders outside the circle, causing them to collapse and die. The mother spider was taken aback by the power of the venom, which had unexpectedly killed all of its offspring.

It hissed and roared in a fit of rage and despair.

Bai Han, using the golden fruit, quickly wielded his staff and took down all the pythons around the circle with a critical hit to their heads.

When the mother spider saw this, it immediately ran up. However, the mother spider, despite its agility, could not ascend the web.

It seemed that they would still encounter this spider in the future. He would never have imagined that he would encounter a terrifying opponent in this place.

The spider seemed to be very agile. After weaving the web in an instant, it disappeared behind the web.

“Come out now. It’s over,” Bai Han called out. Lin Yuwei, who had been crying, wiped her tears and looked around to find that only the corpses of the spiders and pythons remained on the ground, making her feel better. She had shown her vulnerable side to Bai Han, which she had not done before.

“I didn’t expect you to be afraid of anything,” Bai Han remarked, breaking the silence between them, which was their first intimate moment.

“Alright, I think we should go deeper.”

Lin Yuwei quickly cheered up and nodded. They picked up the items dropped by the spiders and pythons that they had just killed. They were also some bonus items and relatively good equipment.

However, the two of them soon realized a puzzling situation. The pythons they had defeated in the beginning were only at level three, and the Initial Mystic Realm was only at Level 5.

Yet, the small monsters they had just encountered were at Level 6, and the first boss they faced could very well be at Level 8.
