265: Chapter 265 Both Fragrant and Stinky

"Bastards! Those two villains!"

"How dare they plot against us!"

"So despicable!"

Seeing this, The girls shouted out in anger one after another.

As expected, Japanese people are just Japanese people; a dog can't change its habit of eating feces!

No wonder everyone says to try not to trust Japanese people; it turns out our predecessors really had foresight!

"But how can these rubble stones stop us?"

"Once we get out, we'll slaughter them! How hateful!"

Chu Feiyu and Lin Mengxue immediately condensed their spiritual power, preparing to forcibly blast open the rubble blocking the path.

"Wait, don't be in such a hurry!"

Chen Yi raised his hand to stop them. "If I'm not mistaken, they pulled this stunt not just to trap us here! More importantly, they want to use the denizens of this place to wear us down or even kill us, right?"

As if to confirm his words, a sudden change occurred in the next second!

Boom!!!

The large-scale collapse at the entrance triggered violent vibrations and a massive sound.

It seemed to have awakened some terrifying existence slumbering deep within this grotto!

A pressure filled with the aura of death spread from the depths of the grotto!

Following that, under everyone's solemn gazes, a massive shadow above the grotto slowly began to writhe!

It was a spider so massive it was suffocating!

Its eight long legs stretched out, covering an area almost the size of a basketball court!

Its pitch-black carapace was covered in eerie patterns resembling human faces, and its densely packed compound eyes were locked firmly onto Chen Yi's group below!

As its hideous mouthparts opened and closed, dark green fluid dripped down, corroding the rocks on the ground with a sizzling sound!

[Monster: Death Spider Queen]

[Difficulty: Nine-Star (Beast King)]

[Level: Rank 7, Stage 4]

[Attributes: Earth, Insect, Dark, Poison]

[Skills: Earth Crack, Poison Mist, Death Coil, Shadow Venom Fangs, Earth Spike Pierce, Corrosive Poison Spit, Summon Spider Swarm]

[Description: An overlord dwelling in the depths of dark caves, feeding on the faint energy emitted by luminous jade. It is extremely violent, excels at lurking and ambushing, and commands a massive underground insect swarm.]

Interestingly, when they saw those small spiders before, The girls had been pale with fright.

But now, seeing this massive Death Spider Queen, they weren't as afraid.

Perhaps because when its size reached a certain point, it lost that hair-raising insect-like quality and felt more like a giant monster that needed to be defeated.

"Roar—"

The Death Spider Queen let out a piercing hiss!

Clearly, it felt extreme rage toward these uninvited guests who had broken into its nest and caused such a commotion!

Its massive body, carrying an aura that could crush everything, pounced fiercely toward Chen Yi and the others!

Facing this aggressive Rank 7 Beast King, Chen Yi just casually picked his ear, then spoke to The girls beside him—who had instantly entered a combat state—in a relaxed tone, as if discussing what to eat for dinner:

"A Rank 7 Beast King, its strength is decent! Which of you will go and deal with it? When we rest later, I'll serve whoever does it for an extra hour."

As soon as these words were spoken, The girls' eyes instantly lit up!

It was as if they had heard some incredible news!

"I'll do it!"

"Leave it to me!"

"This hour is mine!"

"Don't fight over it! Let me!"

Almost the instant Chen Yi finished speaking, all The girls were as if they'd been injected with chicken blood, their fighting spirit instantly hitting the roof!

Various skills surged wildly, pouring toward the Death Spider Queen that had just pounced into mid-air!

Seven-Colored Phoenix Flame, Breath of Ice, Curse Halo, Holy Light Arrow, Fox Fire... even the Rank 4 Lilian tried to condense a predictive-interference Nine-Colored Radiance!

The result—naturally, there was no suspense.

The Death Spider Queen had only just appeared; its ferocious power hadn't even had time to fully manifest, and it hadn't even managed to land.

It was instantly vaporized by the focused fire of those skills in the air!

When the light of the skills faded, only a few wisps of drifting black smoke remained, along with a Rank 7 Earth-attribute beast king crystal core, proving that this cave overlord had once existed.

Insta-kill!

A total insta-kill without any suspense!

A dignified Rank 7 Beast King had actually vanished less than a second after appearing!

However, at this moment, The girls didn't care at all about this valuable beast king crystal core, but instead began arguing with each other.

"Just now, the last hit was from my Phoenix Flame!"

"Nonsense! It was clearly my Breath of Ice that pierced its core first!"

"I used the curse to weaken its defense first!"

"My Light Arrow shot through its head!"

Watching The girls arguing in a mess, Chen Yi clapped his hands between laughter and tears. "Alright, alright, stop arguing! How about this, let's count it as a collective merit for everyone! When we rest tonight, I'll give each of you an extra hour of reward! Satisfied?"

After all, that was what he had intended to do anyway.

Consider it a small reward for The girls who had been enduring for so long during this period!

A harmonious and stable harem is the way to go!

"Yay! Brother Chen Yi is the best!"

"Keep your word!"

"Love you~~~"

This result naturally received unanimous cheers and approval from The girls, and the small dispute from just now vanished instantly.

Chen Yi then walked over, picked up that Earth-attribute beast king crystal core, and casually put it away.

"That Miyamoto Genzo probably thinks that even if this Death Spider Queen can't kill us, it can at least heavily consume our stamina and spiritual power. His wishful thinking is for the snipe and the clam to fight so the fisherman can benefit! After a while, when he comes back in, he can easily clean up the mess, take all the luminous jade, and maybe even get a bargain by finishing us off as well."

Hearing this, the corners of The girls' mouths all curled up slightly, revealing expectant smiles.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of expression that Miyamoto Genzo will have when he comes in later and sees us completely unharmed."

"He'll probably be so scared he'll pee his pants, right?"

"Serves him right for plotting against us!"

Black Rose watched all this from the side and couldn't help but sigh softly, looking at Chen Yi with a complex gaze.

"It feels like... everything is truly within his expectations and control!"

"This man is really—sigh!"

She really couldn't find the right words to describe him.

If you say Chen Yi is 'fragrant,' he really is like an inexhaustible treasure that makes people want to get close to him;

But if you say he's 'stinking,' this stinking man happens to be like a block of wood, turning a blind eye to all her overt and covert hints of goodwill, always maintaining a distance—

She really didn't know what to say about this man!

"Both fragrant and stinking!"

In the end, Black Rose could only give Chen Yi such a contradictory conclusion in her heart.

And her own heart, which originally beat only for her missions, seemed to be sinking deeper and deeper into this complex emotion.
