The battle had been dragged into a dead end by Yang Yu, and Yang Yu signaled Bai Jin and Yias to let go completely.
Broodmother spiders continued to pour out of the stairs, and even spider cubs that were only a few months old joined the battle with their stored food.
But as soon as they step into Bai Jin's [Ghost Shadow Array], countless little ghosts will jump out of the array, slowing down the attack rhythm of the Broodmother Spider.
Finally able to fight, Ias seemed to be working particularly hard. She took out arrows from the quiver and shot at the approaching broodmother spider.
A few Broodmother spiders finally got close to Ias and her group, but Ias used a [Holy Ripple] to push the approaching Broodmother spiders back several meters, creating an opportunity for attack.
Using [Climb] to stabilize himself and secure himself on the back of the Broodmother Spider, Yang Yu observed the battlefield while waiting for the skill CD to be ready.
The only thing we need to be wary of now is the Broodmother Spider's silk threads that control people.
The broodmother spider has lost her mind, but that does not stop it from throwing silk threads around. If you are unlucky and accidentally touch the silk threads thrown by the broodmother spider and are hung up by it like a puppet, all your efforts will be in vain.
Fortunately, standing on the back of the broodmother spider, Yang Yu was very close to the bright starlight on the ceiling. If there was any small object approaching, he would be able to see it, and there was no need for Iyas to continue releasing strong light.
After clearing out most of the Broodmother spider's pups, Iyas and Bai Jin were finally able to focus their firepower on the Broodmother spider's mother.
"[Hunter's Mark], [Fatal Shot]."
"[Ice Spear]."
The golden and white light merged into one in mid-air and completely penetrated the body of the Broodmother Spider.
"hiss-"
This time, the Broodmother Spider did not make any human sounds, but instead made its own original sounds, helpless and painful, just like the prey it had once hunted.
—"The strong prey on the weak, is this the law of life? If I become stronger, stronger than these humans, can I protect my tribe?"
The eight legs supporting the body finally lost balance, and the huge body of the Spider Mother tilted to the right and fell down with a loud bang. The aftermath swept down the surrounding knight chess pieces.
Standing on the back of the Broodmother Spider, Yang Yu opened the panel to confirm that the Broodmother Spider's HP had completely returned to zero. He jumped off its back and continued to sweep away the escaped spiders whose HP had not returned to zero.
After nearly half an hour of fighting, Yang Yu and his team finally managed to clear out the remaining spiders on the third floor.
After this battle, the progress of Yang Yu’s task clue that was full of question marks suddenly increased to thirty-five points.
Unfortunately, except for the spider mother, Yang Yu could not get any progress in the mission clues by defeating other broodmother spiders. He still needed 65 points to start the mission full of question marks.
Turning his gaze back to the corpse of the Broodmother Spider, Yang Yu began to collect materials. He carefully scraped open the Broodmother Spider's head, and a magic crystal the size of a goose egg emerged from it.
Magic crystals are a very rare material in this world. It seems that only powerful large monsters can produce magic crystals.
In addition to being made into a variety of magic weapons, magic crystals can also be used to make a special magic item - magic blasting crystals.
The Magic Exploding Crystal can store magic intact. When encountering danger, just smash the Magic Exploding Crystal and you can directly use the stored magic to achieve unexpected effects.
It’s a pity that the magic explosive crystal that stores large-scale magic is not something that ordinary people can afford.
The common magic explosive crystals on the market are usually made of inferior magic crystals left over from making weapons. At most, they can be equipped with magic such as [Ice Lance] and [Pyroblast].
The size of the magic crystal in Yang Yu's hand, if it were to be auctioned alone, would start at at least one million. If it were equipped with a large magic, it would start at at least tens of millions.
only
The pale yellow magic crystal in Yang Yu's hand was stained with a black magic power, which was magic that did not originally belong to the Broodmother Spider.
If other magic powers are mixed into the magic crystal during its crystallization, the magic power will become impure and its properties will become extremely unstable, making it difficult to make a high-quality magic weapon or magic item.
The magic crystal with two magical characteristics is only slightly more expensive than soap on the market. Only extremely crazy alchemists will buy this magic crystal and use it for crazy experiments.
Fortunately, when Yang Yu touched this magic crystal, the progress of his mission clues increased by five points again, reaching forty.
"If we can investigate the magic power contained in the magic crystal, we might be able to improve our progress immediately."
Thinking of this, Yang Yu threw the magic crystal into the system, turned around and reunited with Bai Jin, Iyas and Hake.
Hearing the fighting sounds below the stairs, Qingshi was worried, while Huck clasped his hands together and prayed silently that everything would go well.
Lotkar had been listening attentively, judging the battle situation on the third floor based on the different sounds. Although he had not actually seen the battle, Lotkar still had a general understanding of the situation.
Therefore, when Lotkar saw Yang Yu and the others escape from the third floor safely, he was not surprised at all.
"Next." Yang Yu threw the unused antidote to Qingshi, "We have already dealt with the Broodmother Spider. If you feel that these potions are not enough, you can go to the third floor later and take as much toxin as you want.
Lotkar, take them and follow me, I want to confirm something."
Yang Yu didn't say anything specific, but Lotkar still obediently carried the two of them and followed Yang Yu's steps back to the entrance of the first floor.
The entrance of the underground maze was densely blocked by sand, but not a single drop of sand leaked into the underground maze. All the sand was blocked outside by the barrier of the underground maze, as neatly as slices of bread.
Qingshi frowned slightly, "What on earth is going on?"
"This is what the master of the maze does. From the moment we step into this place, we don't have to worry about whether we have enough time. After entering this maze, there is only one choice - keep moving forward until the strategy is completed. Am I right, guardian of the maze?"
There was silence all around, and no one answered.
With a helpless smile, Yang Yu shrugged his shoulders and led the team back into the messy third floor.
The smell of venom mixed with spider blood was like a rotten egg. Seeing the spider corpses all over the ground, Qingshi and Hake suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Lotkar gritted his teeth, raised his head, tried to reduce his breathing as much as possible to avoid the pungent smell entering his nasal cavity, and under the guidance of Yang Yu, he walked towards the stairs leading to the fourth floor.
Cutting through the spider webs at the bottom of the stairs, a scorching heat hit me in the face.
Passing through the spider web, a scorching wall of fire blocked Yang Yu and his companions' path. At this moment, the voice of the maze guardian sounded in Yang Yu's ears again.
[Congratulations on passing the first three levels of the test, but the real test has just begun. ]
