Chapter 17 Crystal Web Spider (please read)
For a moment, the silver-haired girl Karina quickly shot the white feather arrow in her hand from a series of difficult postures without showing any signs of weakness.
And her entire body was spinning, stretching and jumping in the air, feeling like she was dancing a gorgeous Viennese waltz.
Sometimes, like a butterfly, it calmly avoids the webs spewed by black widow spiders one after another.
Sometimes it is as fast as the wind, and can jump several meters away by stepping on the spider's head.
After performing a set of intoxicating and gorgeous moves, he killed seven or eight black widow spiders without even realizing it.
This is exactly the secret skill [Elf Arrow Dance]!
The two men broke out one after another, which became the turning point of the entire battle.
When the black widow spiders were almost wiped out, the two wizard apprentices, Melo and Nicolo, finally had the opportunity to sing witchcraft and fight back.
Mei Luo waved her little hand, and an arrow composed of black dark elements dragged a long tail flame and shot directly at the injured crystal web spider.
"Boom!" When it hit, it also corroded a deep hole in the crystal web spider's hard chitin shell.
This made the Crystal Web Spider, which had been severely injured, scream again.
"Shadow Shock!" Niekro also shouted, waving his short staff.
In front of him, a small snake of dark elements suddenly appeared and shot towards the crystal web spider quickly.
The power was not inferior to the secondary shadow arrow, and it penetrated the chitin shell in an instant, burning and corroding the inside of the crystal web spider's body.
Li Cha was slightly shocked when he saw it. Sure enough, the damage caused by witchcraft is high!
It's not like he hasn't attacked the injured crystal web spider just now.
But if his black-feathered arrow did not hit the damaged shell of the crystal web spider, he would not even be able to penetrate the hard chitin shell.
The gap is revealed!
Under the continuous firepower of Richard and the other four people, the Crystal Web Spider, which had been severely damaged by the Fire Dance Star bomb, was quickly killed on the spot!
[Energy found to be absorbed, yes/no? 】
"Yes!" Richard was overjoyed. Sure enough, you can get energy points by killing monsters.
The risks of this wilderness mission are worth taking!
[Acquire 368 points of energy. 】
hiss! There are actually so many, but it's normal when you think about it. It turns out that the parasitized tree demon can gain more than 200 points of energy after killing it.
Thinking about the crystal web spider, a native monster must contain more energy than a parasitic monster transformed by a human.
[It is found that the host is using a crossbow. Is/is it consuming energy to get inspiration for using the crossbow? 】
"No!" Since the current situation has become clear, Richard does not plan to spend energy improving his bow and arrow skills for the time being.
After all, he had just seen that just zero-level witchcraft could easily penetrate the hard chitin shell of a crystal web spider.
Therefore, for Richard, the temptation to learn witchcraft immediately is far greater than the temptation to improve his crossbow skills.
Although it only took about ten seconds, the four of them killed the injured crystal web spider.
But Hans' side was already full of dangers. After all, the quasi-knight was not a formal knight yet. It was very difficult to sustain for so long in the face of a monster that was more powerful than a formal knight.
Everyone immediately started to help Hans. After being hit by Melo and Karina twice, the crystal web spider saw that the situation was not good and turned around to run away.
But the speed was greatly reduced, and as a result, he couldn't even run away. He was quickly surrounded by everyone and died, just like the previous one!
[Energy found to be absorbed, yes/no? 】
"yes!"
[Gain 377 points of energy. 】
Richard called up the panel and took a look, and found that after just killing two crystal web spiders, his energy points had accumulated to 745, and he was immediately overjoyed.
If you don't come to the school, but continue to choose to stay in Silver Pine Town, just accumulating energy points will take you years and years.
"Good job!" Seeing that his team was able to kill two crystal web spiders at the same time, Hans was both happy and regretful.
"What a huge loss. The Fire Dance Star is worth fifteen magic stones! I don't know when I can make it back."
Although he complained, Hans did not stop moving his hands for a moment.
Richard looked at him and skillfully used the knight's sword to cut open the shell of the crystal web spider and took out the poison sac with dark black patterns and two fist-sized balls of crystal silk.
"Haha, not bad. There are two balls of crystal web spider silk, worth six magic stones. I can finally get back some of my money."
As if remembering something, Hans turned his head and looked at the severely burned crystal web spider with a look of regret on his face.
"What a pity, the silk of that crystal web spider is probably useless!"
"Richard, thank you for saving me just now!" Mei Luo walked up to Richard and said.
At this time, Meiluo's pretty face was stained with some mud, and her calves were still wrapped with sticky spider silk, which made her look a bit embarrassed.
"Senior, this is what I should do!" Richard smiled and waved his hand.
"Hans, this proves Richard's strength. Look at those black widow spiders. They were all shot by Richard. He definitely deserves to be treated as an official team member!" Mei Luo puffed out her full chest and felt confident. He said to Hans completely.
"Of course it's no problem now!" Hans nodded without any objection this time.
However, if not for Richard's outstanding performance in the battle just now, they might have had to fight very hard, and might even collapse.
"It's no problem for me either!" Niekro also said.
After all, he also saw Richard's superb bow and arrow skills just now.
Richard felt happy. After all, it must be a good thing to get more points and magic stones.
It seems that this world, like the previous life, respects people with strength. As long as you have strength, it will be easier for you to eat well wherever you go.
After having the experience of dealing with the spider swarm this time, it will be much easier to kill the crystal web spider again.
Two days later.
"Hans, it's almost time. We have killed six crystal web spiders in the past few days. It's time to return!" Mei Luo said with a tired look.
In a wild environment, several people need to take turns to watch the night, and it is difficult to relax mentally, so they are all quite tired.
Especially for wizard apprentices, they have to consume a lot of mental energy during the day to perform witchcraft, and they cannot sleep well at night, making them even more tired.
Richard was also very tired, but when he saw the eye-catching 2231 points of energy on the panel, he suddenly became energetic and felt that he could continue!
Hans looked around at a few people, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay! Let's go back first. The harvest this time is far beyond expectations. Even if the consumption of Fire Dance Star is removed, we still have a small profit!"
After hearing that Hans agreed to return, the expressions on the faces of the team members also softened, and they were obviously much more relaxed.
The group decided immediately and started walking back.
With the good harvest, the whole team was naturally full of morale. There was obviously a lot more communication between everyone, and Richard also heard a lot of useful information.
For example, the assessment criteria for a first-level wizard apprentice to be promoted to a second level first require mental strength to reach the standard, and only if it exceeds 10 degrees can one pass.
The concept of degree is easy to understand. It was the one used by Richard to test his talent last time. On the black triangular prism, one scale represents 1 degree.
In terms of mental strength alone, Richard is far behind.
At present, his mental power is only 3.8 standard units. According to Hans, he needs to practice basic meditation seriously for at least two years before he can hope to increase it to about 10 standard units.
The second is the witchcraft assessment. To be promoted to the second-level wizard apprentice, you need to master two zero-level witchcraft, and you must be proficient in it.
Regarding this, his current progress is zero!
However, regarding witchcraft, he already has a target, which is what he heard Karina and the blond girl talking about in the mission area last time, the [Grasp of Shadow], one of the strongest zero-level witchcraft in the shadow system.
He was very interested in this witchcraft.
What? too difficult? It doesn’t exist. There is an inspiration panel. As long as you have energy, you will improve rapidly after getting started!
Just as Richard was thinking, suddenly!
"Swish!" sound!
A huge black shadow suddenly emerged from the thick mud on the side path.
I heard Nicolo in the center of the team let out a scream. It turned out that he had been bitten by a huge crocodile from the waist down, and he was about to die!
"Save me! Hans, save me! Karina, save me! I don't want to die!" Niekro struggled desperately.
But it was obviously too late, because his entire lower body had been swallowed by the huge crocodile.
"It's the Death Swamp Giant Crocodile!!!"
"Run quickly! Run separately!"
Hans looked horrified, looking at the bloody scene in front of him, and shouted.
