[So this was your plan, you wanted to lure them to the border for the kill?
Truly a scheming human, hehehe.]
[100 ters…
80 ters…
60 ters…]
[You’re getting closer to the border, victory is in sight.]
[However, at fifty ters out, the Spider Monsters suddenly stopped their advance, they weren’t pursuing anymore.]
[Oh, they’re not stupid, they won’t co too close to you, and since you’re about to cross the border, they’re preparing to leave.]
[Just then, you blinked your eyes, you used a “Seductive Gaze”!]
[One of the Black Widows was the first to charge; it was male and your complete taunting infuriated it as it scurried towards you with a squeal.]
[tui~]
[You took the initiative to use Spit Silk, trapping it in place, immobile; you rushed forward and with three farr punches, you beat it to death.]
[Seeing this, the other four Black Widows cried out in realization of the trick, all retreating a hundred ters away.
However, you pursued relentlessly; now the roles were reversed, and it was your turn to hunt them.]
[From then on, the tables had turned.]
[The chaotic fight broke out a hundred ters from the border; you were alone against four, and at a price, you managed to slay all four Black Widows.
You extracted their Erosion Crystals and ran.]
[Just at that mont, a figure appeared before you, sprinting from hundreds of ters away.]
[Black Widow Count: Lance!
He hadn’t strayed far and sensing the aura of his Empress in the wasteland, he had returned.]
[Right now you were only ten ters from the border, but half a step too slow, you were captured by him.]
[“You damned human, you won’t fool again!” Lance said angrily as he pressed a glowing red-hot iron with a silver chain against your chest, your skin bursting open as you were forced to accept the Black Widow Slave Branding.]
[Once becoming the slave of the Alien Species Earl, you’re completely stripped of freedom, your flesh filled with eggs of the Black Widow Spiderlings, like a ticking bomb, he could take your life at any mont.]
[Crack.
Your branding broke, Lance hadn’t succeeded in branding you as a slave.]
[“…” Your gazes t, and Lance’s eight eyes were all stunned.
After a brief hesitation, he wept tears of blood, “No!
No!
No!
You damned, wretched human, how dare you, how dare you…
Ah, my Empress!”]
[At this point, Lance finally realized that the Black Widow Empress had long been killed by you, and the Curse Seal within her had been consud by you, becoming a part of you.]
[In extre grief and anger, Lance tore you into countless pieces.]
[You died, this journey has ended, calculating results…]
[Evaluation: Deception is the passport of the deceitful, but your passport might have expired, better luck next ti.]
[You gained an item: Bait Fresh Hook (Fine)]
[Bait Fresh Hook (Fine): A bamboo fishing rod.
The most exquisite fishing relies on the simplest of tools, emphasis on this being force fishing, you can forcefully reel in enemies within range to your position, provided their strength isn’t enough to break free.]
[Today’s opening count: 1/3]
…
Hiss!
That Earl Lance, he can sense when I leave the border?
No, there must be a distance limit!
Otherwise, last ti he wouldn’t have gone through all that trouble, setting up an undercover agent, he could have just directly ambushed…
Erging from the death of his journey, blood slowly receded from the corners of Xu Shu’s eyes, his mind rapidly processing information.
After recovering, he narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a mont, then opened the door and walked out.
Standing at the door waiting was the innkeeper, Brook, along with the weeping woman who had lost her child, just as she was about to speak.
But Xu Shu had already tossed over a sentence: “I understand, I’ll bring him back if I get the chance.”
And with that, he was off like a shot, disappearing at the end of the corridor.
“Ah?”
“I, I haven’t even started talking…”
Leaving the two stunned in place, montarily nearly forgetting their own purpose there.
After a while, they both said to themselves: “Truly a Transcendent’s insight, swift as the wind, what a man.”
And at this ti, Xu Shu had already left the Lighthouse Inn, heading straight for the eastern border.
The previous round of his journey, nearly an extra fifteen minutes he had used to scout the surroundings.
But now, he was playing a ga of beating the clock, heading straight for his destination the mont he left—five spiders, two eels, and a catfish!
Xu Shu finally understood that the Earl had his sights on him, every ti he went out, as long as he didn’t go too far, he would be found by the encroaching Lance.
But this ‘distance’, Xu Shu figured, was an opportunity ripe for exploitation.
Clearly, if he didn’t waste those few minutes used to scope things out, Lance wouldn’t have had enough ti to find him.
Fortune favors the bold?
Xu Shu’s lips curled into a smirk with a soft snicker.
Wrong, there was no risk.
His confidence this ti.
Was absolute.
True warriors always head straight for the target.
Die, little spiders!
Twenty minutes later…
…
President Xu sat raggedly on the border, his body marked with white scratches from the spiders, seemingly tragic but not even the skin was broken.
He was peeling the hard outer shell off the last Black Widow, extracting the white Erosion Crystal within.
This was the strongest one, with 12 filants, which ant it was a fully leveled-up First Rank White-nad Monster, Level 12.
The other four, two were Level 11, one Level 10, and one Level 9.
Most of the monsters that would venture near the border weren’t high level, mostly First Rank.
