Eat while it's hot, tackle tasks early on; when Xiao Buli saw the insect egg being squeezed out, he didn't say a word but went straight to pick it up, pocketing the egg into his bag. The flesh cavity continued to wriggle, but Xiao Buli was not in a hurry to leave. He would pick up each egg as soon as it erged, and in no ti, he had gathered four of them.
Just as he was about to continue, a system prompt suddenly appeared on the screen.
System prompt: You have exceeded the regular carry weight.—Your load has reached its limit.
This ga had a distinct difference between regular carry weight and maximum carry weight.
The regular carry weight allowed for five catties per point of Strength, while the maximum carry weight was ten catties per point. Wearing the Refined Iron Chainmail, Xiao Buli had a Strength of twenty-six, with a regular weight limit of one hundred and thirty catties and a maximum weight limit of two hundred and sixty catties.
When the load was below the regular carry weight, speed and agility would not be affected, but once it surpassed one hundred and thirty catties, every additional amount would increase the burden on his movents. The more the exceeded weight, the greater the impact it had, and exceeding the maximum limit of two hundred and sixty catties would render him immobilized.
Each of these insect eggs weighed ten catties, and with his load already slightly high, he had now exceeded the regular carry weight. Although the impact was negligible for now, if he picked up a few more eggs, his speed would noticeably decrease. After hesitating a mont, Xiao Buli decided it was best to quit while he was ahead—the eggs he had already were enough to complete the task.
As he was thinking about leaving, another egg was squeezed out from the flesh cavity, prompting Xiao Buli to pause montarily; he was quite curious about what would hatch from these eggs.
Before long, several more eggs were expelled. The earliest one had already begun to show signs of life after soaking in the pool of mucus. As the eggshell slowly dissolved, a white larva wriggled out.
Although small, the size of a slipper, it was covered in sickle-like claws, scrambling around on the ground as if driven by an instinct to feed; it quickly found its way to the corpse beside it and started ripping and biting voraciously.
Unsure of its origins, yet the larva, despite being so young, was very hungry. It consud an entire arm in no ti and quickly grew in size. More and more larvae hatched, totaling over twenty, swarming around the corpses to feast, crowding the area. One larva that couldn't find an unoccupied corpse seed to be getting restless.
It circled twice in the pool of mucus, then suddenly crawled toward Xiao Buli.
Damn, so just don't know what's good for them.
Xiao Buli thought to himself that this was a good opportunity to capture it for a pet.
Void Summoning Art—Seal! He raised his hand and a flash of white light enveloped the target, but unexpectedly, the light had no effect on the larva which continued its advance toward Xiao Buli, unimpeded.
Xiao Buli was taken aback, having never encountered such a situation before—it made no sense. Insects were supposed to fall under the range of Taming Skills, so how was this larva not categorized as an animal? Could it be a plant-based creature?
In a hurry, Xiao Buli cast Mind's Eye, revealing: Tengu Spider larva (Unknown creature - Untamable).
As the larva pounced, he naturally would not allow it to attack him. With a swift sword strike, he killed the larva. However, the mont the larva's fluids sprayed out, all the other larvae feasting stopped abruptly. It was as if they received so command—they all lunged toward Xiao Buli at once.
Xiao Buli figured he would have to kill them all, Mysterious Ice Slash! He sent a sword Qi slicing through the pile of creatures.
The larvae's undeveloped bodies were extrely fragile against the crescent-shaped sword Qi, and three slashes decimated most of them. A few more slashes cleared the remaining larvae.
What a baffling occurrence, Xiao Buli thought to himself, realizing suddenly that at so point a DEBUFF had appeared above his head.
Tengu Spider's Fluid: The fluid emitted by a Tengu Spider has a unique scent, causing nearby Tengu Spiders to attack you relentlessly until they kill you.
```
So that's how it is, Xiao Buli thought to himself, it seed these Tengu Spiders were quite vengeful, or perhaps it was so kind of tracking skill. No good, I have to retreat quickly.
Xiao Buli felt uneasy in his heart, these insects seed to have a special communication system, those Tengu Spiders would probably co after him in no ti. He didn't dare delay and rushed out, but as soon as he stepped out the door, he saw a swarm of Tengu Spiders pouncing crazily toward him.
Having battled with the Shadow Spider, he dared not underestimate these wild beasts. He imdiately used Earth Escape to try to leave, but he hadn't gotten far when suddenly several insect shadows appeared beneath him. Xiao Buli turned around and was startled to see that the Tengu Spiders could also perform the Earth Escape skill, and apparently, they were even faster than him.
Xiao Buli was so frightened that he quickly jumped out. On the ground, he still had the power to fight the Tengu Spiders, but if he were caught underground, he likely wouldn't be able to put up any resistance.
As soon as Xiao Buli erged, he found himself surrounded by Tengu Spiders. The surrounding Tengu Spiders reacted almost instantly, all baring their sharp teeth at him, so Xiao Buli didn't dare to hesitate—
Ultimate Skills—Carefree Illusionary Sword Dance! A flash of white light, and he forcefully cut through the center of the monster horde to its rear.
Although the damage output of the Carefree Illusionary Sword Dance was not as great as Wind Rolls The Scattered Clouds with its multiple attacks and damage, it had the effect of a sudden movent, making it most suitable for breaking out of an encirclent.
After breaking out of the Tengu Spiders' encirclent, he imdiately used Skimming Shadow Steps, but this ti the Tengu Spiders seed to be lured by the scent and could easily determine his position, doggedly pursuing him from behind without being affected by the invisibility effect at all.
Luckily, the Tengu Spiders were slightly slower than the Shadow Spiders in the dark. Xiao Buli dashed out of the cave with a single breath, the Tengu Spiders rely following closely behind.
Xiao Buli had intended to use Cloud-Thundering Sky Flash to escape imdiately, but upon glancing at the mountain, then looking at the DEBUFF above his head and the insect egg in his bag, a sudden idea struck him—a plan that might bring him enormous benefits.
He moved the Mystic Hollow Palace Teleportation Talisman to his hotbar; previously too careless, it had always been in his bag, and when he was besieged by the Shadow Spiders, he didn't even have the chance to use it. But now he thought it necessary to be prepared, so he placed it on the hotbar, enabling him to teleport away at any ti.
Although the Teleportation Talisman required a few seconds to channel, Xiao Buli felt that the Ethereal Armor could delay enough for that ti. After preparing these things without hesitation, he jumped toward the mountain.
The Tengu Spiders also had astonishing jumping power, sprinting and leaping frenetically on the mountain cliffs and rock walls without falling behind. Xiao Buli felt like he was performing live, and it was like playing a racing ga, where being overtaken ant losing at that instant. His index finger rested on the T key at all tis—the shortcut for Cloud Thunder Leap.
He ran up to the hillside, and from a distance, the dark entrance to the Shadow Spider's den was in sight. He rushed in, a bit nervous about his gamble, and the Tengu Spiders, without any hesitation, also dashed in after him. Taking familiar routes, it didn't take long for him to reach the hall.
Under the effect of the Omniscient Eye, a group of Shadow Spiders was feasting on the carcass of a wild ox in the cave. Upon seeing Xiao Buli burst in, they imdiately adopted a defensive posture. Xiao Buli deduced that these spiders also had a mory system because as soon as they saw his identity, they pounced on him almost instantly, as if there was no teasing foreplay anymore.
Xiao Buli waited for this mont; he opened his bag and threw out the insect egg.
The insect egg was instantly ripped apart into a paste with milky white liquid splattering everywhere. DEBUFF signs popped up over the heads of the Shadow Spiders. At that ti, those Tengu Spiders from behind also followed up.
Xiao Buli activated the Ethereal Armor and with a Mysterious Ice Slash, he cleared a path and directly rushed to an angle ford by corroded listone in the depths of the cave.
He hid against the wall there, ready to deal with any monster's attacks or to use the Teleportation Talisman to escape, but no monster pursued. In the cavern's hall, the Shadow Spiders and Tengu Spiders were already locked in a fierce battle.
Although both were called spiders, they were clearly two different types of creatures. Fighting in their ho field, the Shadow Spiders had a slight advantage in combat prowess. But the Tengu Spiders outnumbered them by double, so after a chaotic battle, they gradually gained the upper hand.
Xiao Buli watched for a while with relief; the exchange ratio between Tengu Spiders and Shadow Spiders was about 1.5:1, aning that by the ti the Shadow Spiders were all dead, there probably wouldn't be many Tengu Spiders left. With his strength, he should be able to deal with them.
While he was enjoying the scene, a Tengu Spider suddenly burst out of the lee and charged at him. With a leap through the air, it aid its mouthful of sharp teeth at him and pounced.
Mysterious Ice Slash! A blast of Sword Qi knocked the pouncing off course, and the mont it landed, Xiao Buli lunged with his sword.
Straight Lightning Sword, the Tengu Spider was paralyzed by the cold, and his sword thrust straight into its mouth, hitting a Critical Strike Effect -139!
Conductive Electric Shock! With a crackle, a burst of lightning flashed inside the Tengu Spider's mouth, -117! The Tengu Spider convulsed and was instantly killed.
Xiao Buli dispatched this enemy and looked at the situation; the battle was nearly over. It was ti to go out and finish the job. (
