Chapter 490: Giant Spider

The ice cave was as cold as ever, and Maffeo couldn't help but shiver. He tried to keep himself moving around as much as he could, trying to relieve the cold in this way. But to be honest, the effect is not too obvious. Here, you can only warm yourself up by going into a room with a campfire or a warm tent. Maffeo felt that a layer of frost would soon fall on his face, and it was only a matter of time.

The two of them paused in the ice cave for a short while, and before the battle, it was necessary to observe the environment. They had already been there once, and they had not observed the environment because they had focused more on gathering information, but apparently they had received more favorable information in the next few minutes.

This ice cave is not too dark, so the two of them don't need cat's eye drops at all. But the fragile ice beneath his feet was a hazard, and Maffeo couldn't guarantee what was beneath the ice. If it's a bottomless puddle, which is the most likely at the moment, then he'll probably freeze to death before he can take out the monster. Of course, Uma doesn't have to worry about this, he can always use teleportation to get out of danger.

"I'm going to set up the bait, and the smell is going to be terrible. Uma said.

"The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can sleep in front of the fireplace, come on. โ€

Uma removed the pouch containing the bait from her belt and circled around the clearing of the ice cave. He had to find a suitable location that would not interfere with the rest of the battle and attract the giant spiders. There weren't too many restrictions on the use of the bait itself, so he just put the bait on the ice. When Uma took the magic bait out of the bag, even he looked disgusted.

"God, this smells ......" Maffeo couldn't say any more, and he was about to spit out half a word.

"It seems that the lovely Mirna has doubled the magic mixture in order to make this happen as quickly as possible. Uma smiled helplessly and placed the bait on the ground.

"Yes, now there's one more reason to make a quick decision. Maffeo took out the jar of magic sword oil and pinched it in his hand.

Uma dropped the bag and walked back to Maffeo's side. "Now, it's just a matter of waiting. If the big guy is really drawn back to the lair by the smell, we'll kill it. โ€

"Yes, if that damn bait could smoke it to death by the way, it would save us a lot of effort. Maffeo joked.

"That's right. Uma laughed.

The wait was the most boring, so Maffeo tried to focus elsewhere so that the pungent smell of the bait didn't linger in his head and nostrils. He crouched down, his eyes fixed on the ice on the ground. There, he could see himself. To be honest, he wasn't too surprised, for a person who doesn't usually pay much attention to his appearance.

Marcos often told himself to be a gentleman, and he was tired of the boring words, but he did it every time. Whether it's shaving or combing a bird's nest of hair, or washing away the smell of monsters, it's all done in abusive and reluctant. While Maffeo must admit that keeping clean reduces the occurrence of disease, God knows if some monsters will have some kind of virus on their bodies that they have never seen before.

If that happensโ€”at worst, because of the presence of some kind of monster or its death causing a widespread plague, then the Raven Doctors will have to be busy again. However, Maffeo is not worried about whether this will happen, at least for now, the plague has not fallen on the heads of humans. Who cares about them? People want these genocides with a strange purple color and a pair of pointed ears.

"What do you think we'll face when we get to the snowy lands of Ston?" Uma asked suddenly, obviously not wanting to spend the waiting time in silence, so he found a topic.

"The warm welcome of the Bantu people, I mean the kind of welcome by force. By the way, there's also the roar of the Ice Tiger. Maffeo said with a smile, he didn't want to think about those headaches.

"You see the character of the guys, so it's not going to be easy. โ€

"It's never easy, never. Maffeo shook his head.

Heavy footsteps, no, the sound of spider legs hitting the ground to be exact, came from the depths of the cavern. It made the whole cavern tremble, as if it would collapse in the next moment, burying the two alive in the cold ice. Uma looked up, and Maffeo straightened up and placed his hand on the cork. "Do you hear that? โ€

"Yes, let's feed it. Maffeo drew his sword behind him, and quickly applied magic sword oil to the body of the greatsword.

The barrier made of ice shattered in an instant, and at first, all the two of them saw was a large spider's leg covered in a few strange sky-blue touches. Then, the giant spider, which was tantamount to a behemoth to the two of them, completely appeared in their sight. That's right, it's big, too big to be true. Even if Maffeo jumped up, he could barely slash at its head, and the six eyes of various sizes on the disgusting creature's head were glowing a strange blue, as if they could stare people to death.

"Disgusting guy. Maffeo scolded.

"Be careful, you should know how terrifying this guy is. โ€

"I really shuddered. Maffeo straightened up and swung a sword at a spider's leg, fast and powerful. The giant spider let out a terrifying roar, swinging its strange spider legs and sweeping towards Maffeo. The oncoming threat forced Maffeo to stop his attacks and dodge, knowing what would happen if he was hit by his powerful spider legs. If the situation is better, your internal organs may be smashed, and if the situation is worse, you may be swept away.

Uma attacked from the other side at this point, and it was clear that he intended to settle the battle quickly. Therefore, he gave up all ice magic attacks that were not very powerful, and instead used the "Winter" alchemy bomb to create a biting cold barrier, which could further increase the power of his magic. He then cast a spell to form a circle of ice magic beneath the giant spider, and the ice spikes that kept emerging from the ground attacked the giant spider in vain - it didn't seem to have any effect at all, even after being strengthened.

"Is it true that the mutation is so strong that ice magic has negligible effects on it?" Uma gritted her teeth and teleported to dodge the spider's legs.

On the other side, Maffeo barely dodged a barrage of attacks, and his bulky spider legs were nimble beyond Maffeo's imagination. And there were eight of these terrifying spider legs, and Maffeo thought that maybe he had to deal with the spider legs to have a chance to kill this terrifying and disgusting monster.

As he moved, he observed the frequency and range of the spider legs' attacks, and used a variety of items that could be used to support the battle to turn his situation around. Yes, on the face of it, the monster's defenses are almost perfect, and the spider legs alone are enough to make it difficult for any guy to get close to it. Not to mention that it also has a spider silk attack.

Maffeo jumped backwards, put his feet on an icy stone, and then used the stone as a fulcrum to leap forward. Leap into the air as you put on a layer of blood qi protection for yourself, and then swing your greatsword and smash it into a spider's leg. That sword did hit, and it did the damage it should have done when it was coated with magic sword oil. Strange blue blood spurted out of the spider's leg, which was visibly much sluggisher.

"It looks like you're a guy who likes to dismember people, and now I'm going to dismember you. With a bloodthirsty smile, Maffeo raised his sword and pounced on him as if he had seen his favorite prey.
