"Yes—" The warning dissipated instantly, and crimson blood splattered from his throat and sprayed onto the obsidian pile.

"Invasion—" Before the frightened voice could fully brew, he felt that the heaviness of his body had exceeded the remaining strength, and he collapsed.

"Whew...... That's it. The young man hiding in the dark breathed a sigh of relief, and the trick he was gently pinching in his hand loosened, and in an instant, several shadows in the hall with a black ominous aura immediately fell softly, and his body gradually turned into ashes.

"It's been a long time since I've used this...... It's better to say that he hasn't used it in actual combat except for necessary academic research......" Moving a somewhat strange wrist, Bernardo complained alone, if it weren't for the special situation, he wouldn't use the necromancy he promised the professor would never use.

Closer, the robbers who had been cut throats and gutted through the guts of their former comrades lay lying on their backs, most of them staring at each other, holding tightly the weapons used by the attackers - they were killed in terror, and it was not until the moment before they died that they felt the strangeness of the murderer in front of them, and the fact that their former friends had long since been turned into the walking dead.

The composite spatial structure allows Bernardo to manipulate the corpse, using the quiet nature and the trust of the other party at first glance to carry out indiscriminate attacks. And the laziness and distraction of the other party is a guarantee of success.

"Looks like that Phyllis guy has a point, and in a sense, I'm also good for being a thief." Bernardo said to himself that when he lost the weapon he had at his disposal, he used trickery and sneak attacks, and he considered himself very talented, whether it was swordsmanship, aura concealment, magic support, or combat awareness, all of which were top-notch - the only thing he lacked might be experience, if he practiced it a little......

"It seems that this is the end of the passage in the hall of this temple." Stepping over the last corpse with black blood coming out of his neck, Bernardo gently stroked the huge stone door that had not been tightly closed, "This thing should not be pushed open by man, but needs some kind of mechanism to activate it...... Ah, there it is. Groping his arms around the wall, and after feeling a visible glyph, Bernardo spoke briskly and pressed it gently.

"Ah, this smell...... "The smell of burnt feathers, mixed with the smell of decay, made Bernardo understand at once what was hiding behind the door, and could not help but frown.

"There's a frost spider's nest here...... And it doesn't seem to be on a small scale...... "Dejectedly, he took out a bottle of brown-black liquid from his bag - this is an antibody potion made from the venom of the frost spider, which can resist the attack of the frost spider venom for a certain period of time, although Bernardo is confident that the slow-moving frost spiders should not touch a single hair of his hair, but the preparation before the battle still needs to be done. Moreover, even if you are not afraid of the erosion of venom, it is not fun to be stuck to the cobwebs spewed out by the big spiders.

"The smell of burning suggests that someone has used fire magic against these spiders...... At this concentration, it seems that this passage is a one-way vent, and all the breath will flow in this direction...... Therefore, it should be well marked so that it is convenient to retreat the way it came. With a decision to make up his mind, Bernardo's flames swirled around him, and the flame cloak activated, and he gently walked into the hall full of spider eggs and broken webs.

——————————————————————————————————

"Huh?" The boy who continued to move forward was attracted by the soft touch under his feet, and when he looked down, it turned out to be the torn corpse of a snow mouse.

The dark red color of the wound was clearly visible, and the round eyes were full of fear that had not yet dissipated.

The deeper you go underground, the more snow rat corpses you can see, and there are dozens of corpses in front of the hall on the ground floor, some of which seem to be missing a lot of parts, and some of them have obvious bite marks.

"Knife edge? It seems that the robbers who came underground had a fierce battle with these little rats...... But this bite mark ...... Could it be that they have run out of food to this extent, and they are hungry and do not choose to eat, and even this kind of wild snow rat that does not know if there is a toxin accumulation directly eats it raw? ”

Shaking his head, Avir, Avir, since you have the ability to steal my things, wouldn't it be nice to steal some military rations from the Imperial warehouse?

"I wonder if there's going to be a fierce battle inside?" Although the silence around him was terrifying, and Bernardo's own breathing could be heard clearly, he still did not dare to take it lightly. He touched for a long time, but he didn't find any mechanism or anything like that on the wall, and then looked at the half-open door, and there didn't seem to be any traces of the mechanism or anything like that around, so he relaxed and stepped in-

Inside the door is not so much a stone chamber hall as a super-giant natural grotto. Sharp stalactites hung from the ceiling, the ancient Nord carvings around the walls were so badly corroded that the entire hall was covered in thick spider silk.

"There's an M ......missing in the middle of the stalactite," for some reason, he muttered about the difference between stalagmites and stalactites that he had learned in the magic class, and Bernardo, who was looking at it lightly, soon noticed the anomaly here.

"Spider silk is all new...... It's been paved in large quantities recently...... And the smell of burning here is already noticeable...... And the spider eggs over there, it looks like ......" Looking at the egg shells that were already trembling slightly and emerging **, Bernardo's heart was instantly alarmed.

The new cobwebs are layered on top of each other, most likely traces of recent predation, and the large number of newborn spiders breaking out of their shells confirms that the mother spider has sufficient nutrients to lay eggs and hatch at the moment!

There is only one possibility to wipe out dozens of well-armed robbers who have gone down to the ground without a trace at first glance.

- The Frost Spider Queen. Bernardo closed his eyes, not wanting to think about the creature anymore.

Looking up, at the top of the cave, a beast the size of a hill was greedily staring at the prey that had been delivered to the door. And when it slammed into the ground, blowing away the cobwebs around it, Bernardo could clearly see that more than a dozen broken robber corpses had fallen in the huge web it had woven into the ceiling, some of which had been injected with digestive juices and began to corrode, and some of which were still well preserved, but the wounds on their bodies were shocking at first glance. And the result of the desperate and brave battle of the elite of these robbers is nothing more than a few cracks in the torso of the Spider Queen, which can be regarded as wounds.

"It seems that drinking some antibody pills is the right choice." Bernardo sighed lightly, he was not sure that he would be able to repel such a monster unscathed.

Entangled with magic energy in his hand, Bernardo calmed down and stared coldly at the behemoth in front of him.

"Are you the gatekeeper here?"

Before the words fell, flames poured out.
