Chapter 5: The Spinning Spider

What Kleina found was a very ordinary pothole, which would have been normal if it hadn't been for the skeleton soldier stuck at the entrance of the cave.

And the moment he saw the unlucky skeleton soldier, Roger's heart sounded with the system's prompt: "New [Special Mission (2): Exploration]".

"B-Rank Mission: Exploration: You found a hole that crawled out of the skeleton soldiers, and managed to take care of them before more guys crawled out. Of course, such a strange pothole, I believe you will not mind exploring it. ”

"The goddess of nature reminds you that there seems to be a natural enemy nearby, so please be careful."

"The god of war reminds you that young people must face challenges with courage! If it's a man, it's gone! ”

"The moon god reminds you that young people should be calm, cough, and not pay attention to the words of some troublemakers."

Roger couldn't help but stiffen when he saw the big blood-red B, but he couldn't help but sigh when he read the mission reminder and the messages of the three gods. Occasionally, a bored god will come out to sell a cute, of course, three at a time is still rare.

It's nice that it's not a mandatory task. To be honest, a pit like this, which looks strange at first glance, would not have been of interest to Roger if it weren't for the mission.

As for the gossip of the three gods, Roger said that as a mortal, he was timid and not that brave to be curious.

All along, the most high-level task that Roger has ever accomplished is just B+. But even that mission, if it weren't for the timely action of the Great Elder, he would have hung up. Compared to that mission, it was only a slightly lower task, and it wouldn't be easy to think of it. But fortunately, it's just an exploration mission, and there shouldn't be a need to go head-to-head with the enemy of nature that the Lord of Nature said, as long as you have a rough understanding of the inside of the cave.

Subconsciously shaking his head, Roger directly pulled out the jasper bamboo and overtook the stupid skeleton soldier stuck at the entrance of the cave with a single blow.

After cleaning the entrance to the cave, Alice and the others were a little hesitant when they looked at the swarthy cave. The fireball had the audacity to poke its head out of the hole.

Roger indifferently applied auxiliary magic to his body, and was halfway through the increase, when he saw that the fireball somehow stumbled and fell directly into the hole!

"I'll go!"

This surprise is not trivial, although the fireball is a mid-level demonic beast, it is too small after all, and its combat power is actually quite average. Ignoring the continued use of spells, Roger casually put a light spell on himself and jumped straight into the hole.

As soon as the fireball landed steadily, it felt a darkness overhead, and it was so frightened that it quickly hid to the side. Roger rubbed twice along the slope of the pothole, and soon reached the bottom of the hole, and immediately saw the fireball on the side looking at his feet. Roger, who was confused, didn't care about being angry, grabbed the fireball and put it on his shoulder, took two steps forward, and took a posture with a jasper bamboo.

With the light technique on his body, Roger could clearly see that two skeleton soldiers came out of the corner of the pit with the sound of "Quackle", and Roger went up directly to a sweep and easily cooked. Watching the fireball, Roger hurriedly stopped it, the pit seemed to be connected to a nearby abandoned mine, and the walls around the pit could be reinforced with a wooden frame. But after all, the pit has long been abandoned, and the wood is already showing signs of decay, so let the fireball breathe fireballs casually, and there is no guarantee that the pit can hold up, and Roger doesn't want to be buried alive.

The fireball flicked its big tail and jumped directly into Roger's arms, revealing only a small head. Roger didn't bother with the fireball, his ears were sharp, and he could already hear heavy footsteps. The guy behind the corner hadn't shown up yet, and Roger had already smelled a foul smell first.

Just then, another person jumped down behind Roger, followed by a scream. Roger was speechless and glanced at Kleina who was hiding behind him, and shook his head slightly: Isn't it just a walking corpse, although it is a little rotten, it does stink, and there is no need to scream so loudly, right?

It should be because they heard Klena's screams, and Alice and the others jumped down one by one. Fortunately, this tunnel is quite wide, and it does not affect everyone's play. But Roger's uneasiness grew wider.

This is obviously a big mine, where did so many undead creatures come from, I haven't heard of a mining disaster in this vicinity?

Without thinking much about it, several walking corpses had already staggered over. Judging by the pickaxe in the hands of the walking corpse, it is clear that it is a former miner.

Alice and Granny stepped forward and stopped the walking corpse. Roger chanted the spell, and the jasper bamboo, which was taller than a person, slowly shrank into a cane, and the jade beads originally inlaid on the top of the staff did not become smaller with it, and it slightly emitted a turquoise light under the light technique. Although the appearance has changed, in fact, in addition to being more suitable for supporting casting, the weight of the bamboo is still the same, or rather, except that it is shorter, the cane form is more suitable for pumping people.

Roger took his cane and waved, and two clumps of grass burst out of the ground on both sides of the tunnel. The two clumps of grass grew rapidly, and soon the two walking corpses were entangled, tying them tightly.

There is actually a gap in the strength of the same kind of undead creatures. Like the skeleton soldiers that Alice encountered at the beginning, there were from the first-level skeletons who didn't even have weapons to the fourth-level fully armed skeleton warriors. And the walking corpse in front of him, which was converted from a miner, has a strength of about level four. But Roger wasn't happy about it. The lower the strength of the miscellaneous fish, the higher the strength of the big guy inside, I'm afraid it's not the top level but also the peak of the high level, otherwise I'm really sorry for the high difficulty of this task.

Alice easily swiped off the heads of several walking corpses with two swords, and Roger summoned scavenging plants to dispose of the corpses. With Li Lin's summoning, clumps of blood-red strange parasitic grass and corpse-eating vines with a faint smell surrounded the two walking corpses, and when the plants dispersed, there were only a few mining pickaxes left in place, or even the wooden handles were gone, and only the metal pickaxe head was left. Compared to skeleton soldiers, which only need a natural decomposition technique, corpses like walking corpses are much more troublesome to deal with.

After the walking corpse was dealt with, Roger and his party moved on. What puzzled everyone was that the group had walked a long way, but they had never encountered any monsters again.

Feeling the strange feeling of getting colder and colder around him, and the wider and wider pit ahead, Roger's heart became more and more uneasy. The fireball on his shoulders was a little nervous, and the originally supple hairs were now standing upright one by one.

"Something is wrong."

"Wait a minute, everybody."

Roger and Alice called a timeout almost at the same time. The others were stunned for a moment, but Nancy, as a thief, was the first to react, and she went directly into the stealth and walked forward against the wall.

As a ranger, Kleina set up a bow and arrow, and launched the Eagle Eye Technique to look the way it came.

Everything seemed to be unusual, and there was nothing on the path that everyone walked. Nancy in front of her didn't give any warning.

Roger slowly closed his eyes, relying on the skill developed by the blind fighting specialty he had obtained in advance due to his mastery in martial arts: Heart Eye, Roger faintly felt a cold energy gathering in the corner of the lower right. Subconsciously, Roger sent a magic missile at that corner.

"Whoa...... "Whoa" accompanied by a terrible ghost cry (really a ghost scream), a ghost emerged from the ground.

And with the appearance of this ghost, one by one the ghosts also screamed and emerged from all corners, directly blocking the way back!

At this time, Nancy also hurried back from the front, and shouted anxiously and loudly as she ran: "Spider! There are large swarms of spiders waiting ahead! There is also a super large spider mother...... "As she ran in a hurry, she couldn't help but be stunned when she looked at the large group of ghosts on the road.

Former wolf and then tiger!

Without thinking much about it, Roger shouted: "Retreat!" "First of all, an ice storm opened the way! Then Roger temporarily enchanted the weapons of his teammates, and with the flash of ice blue light, a strong chill suddenly emanated from the weapons of Alice and the others.

Kleina is the first to strike! The arrows with cold air flew towards the ghost one by one, and a simple enchanted arrow was not enough to destroy the ghost, but the cold air on the arrow made the ghost scream and dodge!

Ghosts, who are not afraid of physical attacks, are far more vulnerable to spell damage than you think!

Seeing that Kleina had successfully opened a way out, Alice and Nancy glanced at each other and rushed forward at the same time. Alice was in charge of the left side, and the two-handed sword in her hand opened and closed, and she directly killed a ghost on the spot, and the rest of the ghosts quickly avoided it. Nancy was in charge of the right side, and the twin swords in her hands flew up and down like butterflies, bringing up the afterimage of the Dao, and the current two ghosts were hit again and again, and soon gradually dissipated in the screams. At Nancy's urging, the crowd hurriedly fought and retreated, and soon retreated to the small corner in front of the cave entrance.

A noisy "squeak" sound came from the depths of the pit, and a large number of various spiders poured out like a tide. Looking at the sea of spiders in front of them, everyone suddenly admired Nancy, who was in charge of the investigation: she was able to escape under the outflanking of so many spiders, which was really fierce enough!

Roger calmly looked at the sea of spiders, chanting a spell in a low voice. Vivien stared at Roger in amazement, her big watery eyes full of shock: Roger was chanting a spell, and she couldn't understand a single syllable!

As a magician, magic spells are clearly a top priority. Vivien repeatedly thought about the ancient Terran language, elven language, and dwarven language she had learned, and the celestial language, hell language, demon language, ancient elven language, etc., which she only knew about partially, but none of them matched! Vivien carefully discerned every syllable that Roger spat out, and could only be sure that Roger did not speak any of the known languages!

Is the druid's legacy so mysterious? Vivien was puzzled.

Of course, Roger on the side would not fail to understand Vivien's doubts, but he couldn't directly tell Vivian that he was from another world, and what he was talking about was actually his native language, right? Although Roger's identity as an otherworldly person is not a big deal for the gods, Roger never wants to be looked at differently by his friends, so Roger never takes the initiative to mention his past, and the people in the druid tribe are not puzzled by this, after all, everyone has a somewhat unbearable past. For the people of the Druid tribe, Roger, who has been recognized by nature, is their relative, and no one will ask Roger to get to the bottom of it, not even the Grand Elder.

Soon after gaining the druid's legacy, Roger discovered that his native language had a considerable bonus effect on magic. It's as if he was chanting magic in the legendary Titan or Old Elven language, and when Roger sings magic in his native language, he can clearly feel the resonance of the world! The magic effect will be greatly improved! It is precisely because of this that Roger combined all kinds of super magic spell casting skills he mastered, and finally transformed into [Enhanced Spell Mastery]!

At this time, Roger is using super magic skills such as his mother tongue and extreme spell casting to strengthen the magic effect to the maximum!

Under Vivien's gaze, Roger finally finished reciting the incantation. With the last syllable of Roger's mouth, countless thorns broke through the ground!

Roger quietly watched the spiders who were still quite a distance away from each other, blocked by the wall of thorns, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jimmy!" The fireball in his arms suddenly screamed nervously and spit out a fireball violently! Looking in the direction where the fireball flew, Roger was shocked to see that at the end of the spider sea, two huge spikes were emitting a faint green light in mid-air! At the moment when the fireball exploded, Li Lin saw the figure behind the huge spike clearly.

Hunter of the Underground, Overlord of Spiders, Spinning Spider!
