122: Kill the Spider King and get gold!

“Let’s just kill it first.”

Although the Poisonous Spider King had the title of a leader, it didn’t look like it could drop the fallen sword.

The Poisonous Spider King reacted, opening its mouth to spit out a huge spider web.

Xia Qi quickly dodged; along the way, he had encountered many small spiders spitting webs.

This kind of spider web had high tenacity; ordinary swords couldn't easily cut through it, let alone the web spit by the Poisonous Spider King, which was probably very sturdy.

Huge balls of spider web fell from the sky, and Xia Qi leaped left and right, easily avoiding them.

However, the cave terrain was too friendly to spiders, and soon, Xia Qi found that there was almost nowhere to step.

This Poisonous Spider King had filled the entire area with its spider silk.

Looking at the spider king’s huge belly, Xia Qi had no doubt that if it were given a few more minutes to spit, it could fill the entire space.

Fire Breathing!

A colossal flaming greatsword rose into form, and Xia Qi lightly waved it with one hand; a ball of spider web was directly incinerated into air by the intense flames.

Immediately after, he swung it forward again, and the flames transformed into a fierce Sword Qi, sweeping directly across.

The Poisonous Spider King reacted quickly, spitting out spider silk to pull its body into mid-air, avoiding the sharp edge of the Sword Qi.

It could feel that if it were hit by this Sword Qi, it would be half-crippled even if it didn't die.

Although the Sword Qi was not affected by the Hundred Percent Empty-Handed Catch effect, Xia Qi’s objective had already been achieved.

The spider webs that the spider king had previously spit everywhere intensely burned under the fierce blaze of the fiery Sword Qi, quickly clearing out a large open space.

“This looks much cleaner.”

Xia Qi looked at the Poisonous Spider King suspended in mid-air, a slight smile playing on his lips.

This smile, seen through the compound eyes of the Poisonous Spider King, conveyed a sense of extremely absurd mortal danger.

Immediately after, the eight glowing green eyes on its head suddenly widened.

The human in front of it was gone!

The next second, it saw Xia Qi’s figure in mid-air.

The flaming greatsword in his hand continuously grew larger, its scorching red glow seemingly wanting to devour this space.

Within the area, the temperature in the air rapidly climbed, and almost in the blink of an eye, Xia Qi flashed, appearing directly in front of the Poisonous Spider King.

Sword Skill: Flame Dance!

A horizontal slash, imbued with an unstoppable force of flame, sought to cut the Poisonous Spider King in half at the waist.

Between life and death!

The Poisonous Spider King’s eight eyes rotated rapidly; it let out a shriek, suddenly shrinking, its eight spider legs tightly coiling its body into a ball.

Must block it, absolutely must block it!

This was the Poisonous Spider King’s instinctive reaction at this moment.

Boom!

As the flames bloomed like fireworks.

After a loud bang, Xia Qi lightly landed on the ground, looking at the Poisonous Spider King covered in flames.

“Huh! It’s not dead yet?”

Xia Qi was slightly taken aback, encountering a situation where a sword skill didn't instantly kill for the first time.

In mid-air, once the flames dissipated, the Poisonous Spider King finally revealed its appearance.

Its appearance was gruesome; its eight spider legs were directly severed and fell to the ground, and a deep, bone-piercing sword mark almost completely severed its lower body.

Dark green blood splattered everywhere, and its internal organs were strewn about, creating a very disgusting scene.

In this state, not being dead was pretty much the same as being dead.

A huge shriek echoed throughout the entire cave; if the Poisonous Spider King wasn't currently suspended by spider silk, it might have fallen to the ground and been unable to crawl.

“It seems your spider legs saved your life.”

Looking at the eight spider legs on the ground, with their clean cuts and metallic luster.

Xia Qi felt that the power of the sword skill must have been weakened by the protection at that instant.

While Weakness and Guaranteed Hit were powerful, they didn’t guarantee death.

This explained why the Poisonous Spider King still had a breath left.

Moreover, the longsword in his hand was still only silver-grade, which was somewhat insufficient for dealing with a leader above level thirty.

After routinely analyzing the reason, Xia Qi was unwilling to stay here any longer; he finished it off with a fiery Sword Qi, directly ending the Poisonous Spider King’s last breath.

Immediately after, the kill notification sounded.

[Killed Poisonous Spider King, EXP +800000]

[Obtained Gold-grade weapon, spider king longsword]

[Obtained Gold-grade accessory, Spider King Ring]

[Obtained Spider King Silk Sac x1]

[Obtained Spider King Crystal x1]

[spider king longsword: Gold-grade weapon, Strength +150, Physique +75, comes with poison attribute attack, sword skill amplification 15%, usable after level 25]

[Spider King Ring: Gold-grade accessory, All Attributes +30, energy recovery speed increased by 10%, usable after level 25.]

“It dropped gold-grade equipment!”

Looking at the two pieces of equipment dropped by the Poisonous Spider King, and seeing that they were the most suitable equipment for current use, Xia Qi equipped them without hesitation.

“The weapon is good, the ring is average, it’s barely enough.”

Generally, gold-grade equipment dropped by boss-level monsters had better stats than equipment dropped by ordinary monsters, and on the market, they were known as 'minor top-tier' equipment.

This spider king longsword came with a poison attribute attack, which would add damage based on the professional's attribute value.

If put on the exchange, it could sell for one to two million, making it a very good piece of minor top-tier equipment.

However, for Xia Qi, the poison attribute was irrelevant.

The reason he thought it was good was because the spider king longsword had a very good appearance; its blade was sharp, its body was long, and a ruby was inlaid in the hilt, making it look very stylish.

In terms of appearance, it was much better looking than those silver longswords.

With a handy weapon, he wouldn’t have to prepare a large number of silver longswords every time; currently, the sword skills he cast were very powerful, and longswords were easily damaged.

Gold-grade was different; it should be much more durable.

One minute after the spider king was killed, its corpse disappeared, and a passage appeared with it.

“As expected, this dungeon isn’t over yet.”

Xia Qi tucked the longsword at his waist and walked towards the passage.

After entering the spider cave, he had actually been moving forward at the bottom of the mountain.

At the end of this passage, looking up, there was a straight path leading upwards.

Wind Wings materialized.

At times like this, flying was definitely the way to go; for other professionals without flight abilities, they could only rely on climbing by hand.

Xia Qi certainly wouldn't do something so pathetic.

He ascended all the way until he saw daylight again.

The coolness of the underground completely vanished, and scorching heat once again enveloped the land.

In the distance, there was still a vast desert, stretching as far as the eye could see.

It was even hotter here, like being roasted on a fire pit.

Xia Qi, completely covered in water elements, could still feel the heat slowly permeating him; it was a terrible environment.

Fortunately, behind the exit was a steep mountain forest.

A tall mountain divided this dungeon into two areas.

Xia Qi looked around; it had already been almost ten hours since he entered the dungeon.

Must hurry!
