Chapter 21: The Spider Queen

The passage was very dim, and it was precisely because of the dimness that the fat man could see the light of the fire at the end of the passage at a glance, and at this time he turned all around, and only this light of fire was his only way out.

"Go over and take a look, maybe I will find some treasure again!" The fat man smiled, touched the darkness and walked towards the firelight.

The passage was very long, and there were many forks in the road during this time, but the fat man never changed direction, because the fire flickered and flickered, and disappeared from time to time, and he was more sure that there was a treasure there.

It's just that... When he walked in, he found that it was not a treasure at all, but a man, fighting a huge spider with a huge black and red body.

And this person is none other than Li Tao, who has just been promoted to level 5.

Just now, after Li Tao killed more than a dozen cave spiders, he was finally promoted to level 5, not only wearing some of the level 5 equipment he obtained, but most importantly, he was able to equip the thief's dagger with his left hand, and there was no restriction on the setting that he had to be equipped with an off-hand weapon.

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect it to be possible! Li Tao fiddled with the dagger in his hand, looked at it over and over for a long time, and that familiar feeling arose.

Although after equipping the Sharp Blade, his physical attack is still not as good as his magic attack, but his proficiency is not comparable to that of a wooden club.

And then, the sharp blade in his left hand, the fireball technique in his right hand, and the wooden stick have been put away by him, but the efficiency of killing monsters has not only not decreased, but has also increased a lot.

After level 5, Li Tao can finally see the attributes of the cave spider.

Cave Spider: Level 10 (Normal)

HP: 700

Damage: 22-46

Armor: 10

Skill: Venom

Venom: Upon hitting the target, deal 5 toxin damage to the target every 3 seconds for 30 seconds.

With the weapon of the Sharp Blade, coupled with the familiarity with the cave spider, the next battle was completely one-sided, and after Li Tao eliminated the last cave spider, he sat on the ground and rested, recovering the lost mana.

"The difficulty of this upgrade is really getting harder and harder." Li Tao sat by the wall with his back against the wall, looked at his experience points, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.

Now he can get more than 400 experience points by killing a cave spider, but after exchanging experience, it is only about 2%, so he needs to kill at least 50 cave spiders to level up.

"Forget it, I don't know when these spiders will refresh, let's see if there is a way out and find a place to level up again." Li Tao thought about it, glanced at the level list, and then stood up, ready to go to the end of this passage to see if there was any way out.

On the level list, the highest is still level 5, and it seems that after being promoted to level 5, everyone's leveling speed has slowed down, and all the people behind are level 5.

Although Li Tao has now been promoted to level 5, it is impossible to enter the top ten of the level list.

Summoning the fireball illumination, Li Tao walked towards the depths of the cave, and he didn't know if this was a dead end, but he had walked all the other roads, so he had no choice.

The last part of the distance, which is less than a dozen meters away, not only is there no cave spider, but it is also quiet and a little weird, as if something is hidden in the dark, this feeling makes Li Tao very uncomfortable.

"This is ... Treasure chest?! ”

At the end of the cavern, there were dense cobwebs everywhere, and in the corner of the wall at the end, a silver treasure chest was placed there.

"It's actually a silver treasure chest, this should be better than the black iron treasure chest, right?" Li Tao stepped forward a few steps, and under the light of the fire, the silver treasure chest was particularly dazzling.

System Prompt: You have found a "Silver Treasure Chest", Status: Locked, you need a lockpicking skill or key to open.

This silver treasure chest is decorated with strange patterns, wrapped around the treasure chest, and by virtue of this, you know that the contents must be good, but the place where it is opened is locked by a delicate small lock, and the system prompts that a key and lockpicking skills are required to open.

"This... Damn it! Why is it still locked? Li Tao scolded secretly, seeing the treasure chest appear in front of his eyes, but he couldn't get it, this feeling was gone!

"Squeak!"

Li Tao was anxious not to know what to do, thinking about using a dagger to pry to see if he could pry the lock open, but the sudden strange scream instantly frightened him and turned around, raising the fireball in his hand to shine to another corner.

"Strange, could I have misheard?" There was nothing in the other corner, but there was a cave that seemed to lead to the outside.

Li Tao saw that there was nothing abnormal, and when he turned around and wanted to continue picking the lock, he suddenly found that under the light of the fire, a pair of huge fangs were reflected on the silver treasure chest, and the pair of fangs was behind him!

"Bang!!"

The huge fangs pierced down in an instant, and with a bang, it stirred up a lot of dust and made a loud noise.

"Squeak!"

The strange cry remembered again, and this time, Li Tao heard it clearly, it was the cry of the cave spider.

"This... What is it? ”

Looking at the huge figure that came out of the dust, if Li Tao hadn't reacted in time just now, I'm afraid that even if he didn't die now, he would have been disabled by the other party.

"It's a BOOS!" Li Tao's heart tightened, looking at the cave spider that had completely come out, and the shock and fear in his heart appeared at the same time.

Spider Queen: 10 (Bronze Boss)

HP: 5000

Attack: 42-68

Armor: 30

Skills: Venom, Cobwebs

Venom: Shoots a cloud of venom at the target, dealing 10 toxin damage every 3 seconds for 30 seconds.

Cobweb: Shoots a web like a target, and when it hits the target, it immobilizes the target for 5 seconds.

"It's so strong!" Li Tao was secretly frightened, couldn't help swallowing and spitting, looking at the huge spider queen in front of him, more than a meter tall, he didn't know how to start at all.

The Spider Empress didn't care what Li Tao thought, the 8 huge monoeyes turned back and forth, instantly locked on Li Tao, opened her mouth and screamed, and then a cloud of venom sprayed out.

Li Tao hurriedly retreated, and kept retreating two meters sharply, so as to avoid the venom's attack range.

Looking at the huge size not far away, the eight legs were propped up on the wall, and I thought that the reason why I didn't see the spider queen just now should be because the other party was hanging on the top of the cave, because when Li Tao looked up, he found a huge spider web.

"Bang Bang Bang !!"

The rubble flew wildly, and the Spider Empress's eight feet kicked on the wall, rushing towards Li Tao at great speed.

This is its prey, and it is naturally impossible to let go.

"Fireball!"

"Bang! -45，-18。 ”

The fireball exploded in the mouth of the Spider Queen, but this small fireball can achieve very little effect, you must know that Li Tao's magic attack has been as high as more than 60 and close to 70, which is still the result of the additional attributes of the equipment.

However, even if he has such a high attack, in the face of the level 10 boss BOOS, he can only deal this damage, which is still the additional damage of the skill, if it is just an ordinary attack, it may be lower than this.

"Squeak!! Bang! ”

After being attacked, the Spider Empress became even more brutal, and suddenly rushed in front of Li Tao, her two huge front paws instantly pierced down, and suddenly the gravel flew wildly.

The width of the passage is just over a meter, and if he just dodges the attack of the cave spider, Li Tao can do it easily; But in the face of the huge Spider Empress, with Li Tao's agility, it was still very difficult to dodge.

Somewhat embarrassed, he stood up from the ground, raised his hand and summoned a fireball again, Li Tao hesitated whether to leave or not, with his current ability, there was no possibility of defeating the Spider Empress.

After all, this cave is so narrow that it is already very difficult to dodge.

"Squeak!"

The strange scream sounded again, Li Tao's eyes froze, and he saw that the spider queen opened her huge mouth, and a spider web covered him.

Cobwebs, a skill that can trap the target for 5 seconds!

"If you get covered in this cobweb, it's really doomed!" Li Tao was shocked in his heart, but now with his back against the wall, it was impossible to retreat backwards, only forward.

"! Since you don't let Lao Tzu go, then Lao Tzu wants to see how good you are! Li Tao scolded viciously.

After a burst of running, he pounced forward, and then a roll, dodging the range of the spider web skill, and Li Tao himself came under the body of the spider queen.

"Whew!" Two knives, the sharp blade slashed through the Spider Queen's tentacles, and then rolled again, around the opponent's back, and then the fireball in his hand also flew out.

Li Tao knew that he couldn't run away, and retreating like this is not his style, no matter what, he is the king of the dragon clan, and in his dictionary, there is no such thing as running away.

"As long as you can't beat me all of a sudden, then I want to see who lives and who dies!" Li Tao's eyes were fierce, and he summoned a fireball again as illumination, and then without waiting for the Spider Empress to turn around, he rushed up and stabbed the Spider Empress in the abdomen.

The reason why he dared to fight hard with the Spider Empress was also because there were three small blood vials in the bag that he got from fighting monsters, as long as it wasn't a second, then he would have three chances.

The scene of the fight was extremely intense, but most of the time, it was Li Tao who fled in embarrassment, although he avoided the skill, but he was still attacked by the Spider Queen several times, but fortunately he was not killed in seconds, otherwise Li Tao would be useless even if he had a small blood vial.

At this time, Li Tao once again crawled out from under the spider queen's body in embarrassment, looking at the passage full of cobwebs and venom, and then looking at his blood volume, it was already less than one-third.

I just wanted to take out the blood vial to refill myself, only to find that the blood vial in the backpack had long been used up.

"Huh." Li Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly, looking at the Spider Empress who still had more than half of her blood and rushed towards him, it seemed that she had been planted.

"Hey! Brother, you're good!! ”
