Chapter 35: Overall Level 9lv, Caster Level

Certainly!

Aside from their silk, Hanging Spiders possess a certain level of toxin, though it requires them to capture their prey first and inject the toxin through their fangs, a process that is relatively slow.

With Tang Zheng’s speed, these Hanging Spiders could not get close to him at all!

The iron sword continuously sliced through the air, and the mucus staining the blade evaporated rapidly under the effect of the high heat, making the already somewhat foul, fishy smell in the air even more intense!

Time passed bit by bit.

The sound of the sword cutting through the air and the hissing of the Hanging Spiders intertwined continuously!

A moment later...

Tang Zheng panted heavily, standing on the ground with one hand supporting his knee; everywhere around him were the severed limbs and remains of Hanging Spiders.

Of the nearly one hundred Hanging Spiders, Tang Zheng had killed about two-thirds in one go, and the remaining ones had fled, making them impossible to track in the jungle environment.

What a pity!

Tang Zheng exhaled a deep breath.

Not being able to kill them all was something that couldn't be helped. The methods he currently possessed indeed lacked wide-range attack moves.

Tang Zheng estimated the level of these Hanging Spiders to be between 2 and 3!

Do not look down on this level as if it were very low!

One must know that the level of ordinary soldiers in the Re-Estize Kingdom is at this standard.

In other words, one Hanging Spider is about the same as one ordinary soldier!

Of course, if both sides appeared in the forest in equal numbers, then a troop of a hundred soldiers would likely only face a massacre when confronted with an equal number of Hanging Spiders.

After all!

In an environment like the forest, even Tang Zheng could not outrun these Hanging Spiders.

Tang Zheng guessed.

This group of Hanging Spiders was very likely the most powerful group of magical beasts in the outer area, likely situated in the region between the territory of the Forest Sage Hamsuke and the trolls.

He finally understood a little why people in this world would have their expressions change drastically and be filled with taboo and dread whenever the Tob Forest was mentioned!

This was only the outer edge of the forest, and the three great rulers of the forest existing in the depths all possessed "Hero-level" strength; except for the Forest Sage Hamsuke, the other two both had a large number of subordinates.

And the entire Re-Estize Kingdom only had two "Adamantite-level" adventurer teams!

Tang Zheng did not dare to breathe deeply at this moment because the stench permeating the air was truly too thick, making one unable to help but feel a bit nauseated.

The heated iron sword was indeed useful, but the smell of the blood and severed limbs after being heated was somewhat suffocating!

『Experience Points: 2985/1000』

Tang Zheng could not care about the foul smell and immediately looked at the experience points on his attribute panel.

"I should be able to increase by 2 levels." Tang Zheng thought with some joy: "Upgrade!".

…………

"Finally raised it above level 8." Tang Zheng looked at the information on the ability sheet.

Overall level 9lv!

A look of joy appeared on Tang Zheng’s face, and he immediately took out the 2nd-tier magic scroll "Item Appraisal" he had purchased at the Mages' Guild from his item box.

Just as he was preparing to open the scroll to use it and thereby acquire the skill.

He suddenly noticed that the two 0-tier spells on the ability sheet did not have an "↑" mark behind them.

Tang Zheng was stunned, only then did he react, reaching out to pat his own forehead.

"I was only focused on the level, I almost forgot that my current caster level is simply not high enough."

The joyful expression on Tang Zheng’s face dissipated, and with a bit of helplessness, he put the magic scroll away. The levels he had currently increased were mainly in "Sword Saint," which was the warrior level, while his caster level remained the same as his "Genius" class, only 1lv.

"I'll max out my warrior level first."

Tang Zheng exhaled and looked at the many broken bodies of the Hanging Spiders on the ground.

He remembered that there were poison sacs in the abdomens of these Hanging Spiders.

Tang Zheng squatted down, dissected the abdomens of some of the dead Hanging Spiders, and took out the poison sacs that were still relatively well-preserved.

However.

Most of the Hanging Spiders had been severely damaged by Tang Zheng, and it took some effort to collect 20 well-preserved poison sacs.

After finishing this,

Tang Zheng left this foul-smelling place, but he did not go too far; instead, he stopped by a large tree about seventeen or eighteen meters away.

Having just dealt with these Hanging Spiders, he needed to recover his stamina, and this area was the territory of this group of Hanging Spiders.

The remaining Hanging Spiders had also been scared off, so there was no need to worry about attacks from other magical beasts.

Additionally.

=9+Shu_ba

According to Tang Zheng’s estimation, it should not be far from the trolls' territory here.

He grabbed a handful of leaves from the ground.

Tang Zheng gripped the leaves as a rag, wiping the blood of the Hanging Spiders off his iron sword.

The magic effect of "Heating" had long since faded; recalling the process of increasing the iron sword's destructive power by raising its temperature during the attack, this method seemed quite good!

It was a bit like a disguised enchantment.

It was just that the increase in the iron sword's temperature also had an effect on him.

Tang Zheng’s gaze fell on the iron sword; he lifted it easily with one hand holding the hilt and swung it a few times casually.

The blade cut through the air, continuously emitting sharp sounds.

Every time the "Sword Saint" class leveled up, his overall strength would become much stronger; if this were just a superficial numerical change,

Then, Tang Zheng discovered that after each level up, his use of the sword became more handy, and he even gained some techniques he had never mastered before.

It was as if it were natural, and also as if he had trained for a long time!

Such a change.

Made Tang Zheng feel amazed.

In the "Yggdrasil" game, a class panel was just a class panel, but leveling up a class in another world was more like gradually mastering the abilities possessed by the class.

For example, the time he was attacked by some poisonous insects in the forest before!

Tang Zheng relied solely on his senses, without even needing to look, and would easily swing his sword to kill the poisonous insects attacking him.

Even when facing that black-green giant snake back then, various blocking techniques and methods were used naturally.

Tang Zheng was an ordinary person before he transmigrated; it would have been impossible for him to master such techniques. This was clearly all brought about by the "Sword Saint" class.

After resting for about half an hour.

Tang Zheng felt he had recovered enough, picked up his sword again, and continued moving toward the east.

Along the way that followed.

Tang Zheng did not encounter any more wild beasts, let alone magical beasts; instead, various birds became more numerous.

Some birds with strange appearances and darker-colored feathers that he had never seen before flew past from the sky from time to time, or stood among the dense branches and leaves chirping.

Tang Zheng frowned and continued forward, though his footsteps became much lighter.
