“F*ck!”

Zhou Qiang cursed fiercely. In his opinion, there was already one less goal that could be achieved. Everyone knew what his goal was.

The other girl quickly grabbed Zhou Qiang’s arm and said, “Nana is already dead. I’m the only one left. You have to save me. You can’t leave me here!”

“Get lost! I don’t know if you can survive! As long as you still want me, hurry up and give me some conditions to deal damage. Otherwise, I don’t care who you are!”

Zhou Qiang’s words were thrown at her coldly. The girl looked at the huge spider in front of her with tears in her eyes.

Just as she was about to take out her weapons and rush forward to fight, Bai Han and Lin Yuwei quickly stopped her and said, “Are you stupid? How can you defeat it? You’re only at level six! You’re not even strong enough to take out the gaps between his teeth.”

“I have no choice. I need money and power, and status. Otherwise, dying here is the same as dying out there!”

As she spoke, the girl rushed forward. Of course, the outcome was obvious. She was instantly knocked down by the insect egg and turned into three terrifying monsters!

“Zhou Qiang, you bastard!”

While he was still scolding him, Zhou Qiang took out the delaying magic staff in his hand.

This magic staff looked very powerful. It looked like a new weapon he had obtained.

[Delaying Magic Staff: This staff has a very powerful magic penetration attack, but it requires a delayed effect first. When the attacker has just released a skill that requires a cooldown, you can use a delayed effect on him. The cooldown of the skill will be tripled.

Its effect is a one-time effect. During the time of effect, the magic staff will have a very powerful penetrating effect.]

As he spoke, Zhou Qiang cast a delaying spell on the giant spider in front of him with the staff in his hand. With that, the spider could not shoot eggs again within the next three minutes.

“Chen Han! Now it’s your time to shine. Control its tentacles and I’ll take care of its tail and get the secret organism!”

Zhou Qiang’s plan was foolproof, but it meant Chen Han would have to risk his life to control the antenna. He hesitated, knowing that certain death awaited him if he charged forward. But without doing so, their mission was pointless.

Zhou Qiang was no doubt very similar to Sheffield in terms of his cunning and self-serving nature.

Chen Han held the long saber in his hand and did not dare to move. “Wouldn’t I die if I charged up?”

“Don’t you want the 5 million yuan? Don’t you want to be the biggest contributor to your family?” Zhou Qiang reminded him.

“I do, but please make sure the money goes to my parents,” Chen Han replied, determined to complete the mission.

With gritted teeth, he charged toward the monster, only to stumble and fall. Lin Yuwei fired an anesthetic needle from her crossbow, a weapon she had obtained from Simon.

“Zhou Qiang, stop whatever you’re doing!” Bai Han looked at Zhou Qiang in front of him and said angrily. Then, he took out his staff and rushed forward, aiming at the two heads of the spider!

Undeterred, Bai Han used the powerful Lifesteal ability of his Vampiric Void Staff, causing the surroundings to surge with energy.

You can’t kill him! He was an ant lion guard! Who knows what terrible consequences will befall you if you do!” warned someone, causing Bai Han to call out for Simon to bring him anaesthetic needles.

“Simon! Anaesthetic needles!” Bai Han roared at Simon, who was in front of him.

As the spider’s blood began to trickle out, it prepared to launch another attack with its egg and spatial weaving abilities, but Bai Han quickly called out to Simon to administer an anesthetic shot directly into the spider’s head.

With the combined effects of the life and magic absorption and the tranquilizer, the massive spider finally fell to the ground.

When Zhou Qiang saw this, he immediately rushed forward and prepared to extract the mysterious creature from the spider’s glands, but Sanderson intervened and stopped him. “Don’t even think about it!”

Sanderson immediately pounced and grabbed Zhou Qiang, who was in front of him. In the meantime, Bai Hang quickly moved behind the spider and used his dagger to cut off the thread, obtaining the sparkling, mysterious creature.

The commotion had caused the surroundings to tremble, and a notification from the system appeared at that very moment.

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission and finding the mysterious creature!]

[New mission has been issued!]

[Mission brief: Now you need to escape from the cave and find the real antlion guards! Destroy the real guards and obtain the ultimate creature in the mystic forest!]

[Mission’s only hint: The antlion guards are extremely cruel and ruthless. Any unit killed by the guards will permanently disappear from the real world and the mystic realm! The antlion guards have very, very smart brains. You need to grasp more clues to destroy them!]

After reviewing the mission briefing, the group hurried back to Cave No. 3. But as they arrived, they realized that the eggs surrounding them were hatching one after another, causing the noise they heard.

“Quick, grab onto me and let’s run!” shouted one of them.

The six of them managed to flee from the antlions’ jaws. In a series of intense battles, they defeated all dozen or so antlions chasing them. Despite their victory, they knew that many more monsters would come swarming and attacking them in this place.

SLAP!

“Zhou Qiang, you jerk!” Lin Yuwei exclaimed, slapping him across the face.

Zhou Qiang smirked at the little girl in front of him. “You should know that in the real world, I could destroy your whole family with just one move. You’ll pay a painful price for this slap.”

After yelling at Lin Yuwei, he turned to Bai Han. “You’re quite strong for a brat, but my power in the real world is enough to render your strength useless. My family’s influence is enough to keep you from even touching my shoes!”

Bai Han held the mysterious creature tightly in his hand and said, “Leave now. I know you have the power to teleport. Use it to find your own way out of here. Don’t interfere with our mission, or I’ll make you regret it.”

As he spoke, Bai Han readied his Vampiric Void Staff and activated the Lifesteal effect. In less than three seconds, Zhou Qiang would be drained of all his life and magic.
