Chapter 31: Thanks to Miss Spider for the Tip

Xie Yaoyao did not know if it was because his talent was peerless, or because of the power of the 【Hunter】 Entry.

In any case, he felt omnipotent now; the rapidly moving spiders were being taken out one by one by his gunfire, and he was always able to dodge the snapping fangs and sharp teeth lunging at him at the critical moment.

That was until the giant spider crushed toward him like a truck.

Xie Yaoyao fired a shot at the giant spider without the slightest hesitation.

Shattered carapace and fluids splattered everywhere, yet it could not slow this big guy down in the slightest.

Just as Xie Yaoyao thought he would surely be hit, a ball of silver light blocked the space between the two of them.

"Boom!"

The silver figure appeared incomparably petite compared to the giant spider monster, but Owen, covered in silver battle aura, held back the giant spider's charge with all his might.

"Yao, you take care of the little demons around us; this big guy is mine!"

After saying this, Owen stepped forward, repelling the giant spider while simultaneously clearing a patch of the small spiders nearby.

"Just what I wanted."

【Roarer】 erupted with angry flames once again, blasting the surrounding spiders that were swarming in like mad into pieces.

The battlefield was quickly split into two.

Although 【Roarer】 had immense power and infinite ammunition, it was, after all, not a fully automatic weapon.

Facing the countless spiders surging in from all directions, the front line was constantly being pushed to within five meters of Xie Yaoyao, and it was getting closer.

With such a large number, Xie Yaoyao knew that once these spiders swarmed over him, he could only pray for a quick death.

"Watch out behind you! Caw-caw!"

Xie Yaoyao turned and blasted away a basin-sized spider that was lunging through the air.

Looking at the crow still standing on his shoulder, Xie Yaoyao felt a bit strange.

"Thanks! Helai'er, though I thought you had just flown away!"

Lilisi flapped her wings, adjusting to the shoulder that kept shaking due to Xie Yaoyao's constant dodging and jumping.

"You idiot, I am Lilisi. Didn't you notice that my tail feathers are longer and prettier than that idiot Helai'er's? Caw-caw!"

He crouched down again to dodge a pounce, and casually blasted the spider's big belly to pieces with a shot.

Xie Yaoyao was dealing with the spiders' attacks with increasing ease.

"Sorry! Lilisi! But I really don't have time to carefully observe the differences between you two!"

Lilisi lightly pecked Xie Yaoyao's ear as a punishment.

"That is very rude for a lady! Caw-caw! Above!"

Xie Yaoyao raised his gun and fired at the top of his head, while simultaneously lifting his foot to kick a spider that had already rushed in front of him hard.

"Many thanks, beautiful lady! Then, beautiful lady, why didn't you leave with Helai'er and Little Red Riding Hood? It's too dangerous here."

In the end, Lilisi couldn't stand steadily on Xie Yaoyao's shoulder, so she chose his head, which was a bit more stable.

"Of course it's for you two. If I had left too, even if you two survived, you would eventually get lost in this forest! Caw-caw!"

"Oh! Thanks again! Beautiful Miss Lilisi!"

"It's only for the sake of His Highness Wiersalaze! Don't get ahead of yourself! Caw-caw!"

Xie Yaoyao didn't mind at all; he jumped up, grabbed a branch, nimbly climbed onto the large tree beside him, and fired two more "Bang! Bang!" shots downward.

"Haha, alright! Thanks to the great His Highness Wiersalaze Little Red Riding Hood!"

Xie Yaoyao's words made Lilisi angrily peck his ear again.

"Maintain respect, Traveler! Besides, if you can't fly, you will be trapped to death on this tree! Caw-caw!"

"It's the same down below, isn't it?"

While shooting from a high vantage point, Xie Yaoyao stared at the countless 【Primary Toxin】, 【Agility】, 【Leaping】, 【Web Weaver】, 【Cave Dweller】, and other White Entries scattered on the ground.

These White Entries might be useless to other Travelers, but to him, they were undoubtedly a huge treasure.

As time passed, Xie Yaoyao noticed that the entries that had dropped first were starting to disappear.

This undoubtedly made Xie Yaoyao's heart ache.

"Hey! Traveler, the spiders are about to rush up, you'd better climb higher! Caw-caw!"

Following Lilisi's reminder, Xie Yaoyao noticed that there was already a thick pile of spider corpses beneath the large tree he was on, and spiders from all directions were stepping on these corpses to climb up continuously.

Even those that were shot dead would become stepping stones for those that followed.

"Damn! They really can breed!"

Xie Yaoyao had to admire the power of the giant spider's 【Chuji Muzhao】 Entry.

However, he had planned ahead, so naturally, he wouldn't just run up a tree to wait for death.

"Hold on tight, beautiful Miss Lilisi!"

Xie Yaoyao pushed off with his legs, and the powerful physical fitness granted to him by the 【Hunter】 Entry was on full display.

He leaped into the air and then grabbed tightly onto a vine hanging in mid-air.

"Oh... oh... oh... oh... oh..."

Xie Yaoyao carried Lilisi through the air in an arc, crossing over the heavy encirclement of the spider army.

"Hahaha! I am Tarzan! The call of the wild! Hahahaha!"

The momentum of the jump and swing pushed Lilisi off Xie Yaoyao's head; if she hadn't flapped her wings quickly, she would have fallen into the spider swarm.

Watching Xie Yaoyao laughing loudly, Lilisi was so angry that she flew onto his shoulder and pecked his head hard.

Xie Yaoyao dodged while quickly collecting the White Entries that had dropped on the ground.

"Haha, don't be angry, Lilisi! Didn't I warn you to hold on tight!"

Merge!

Merge!

Fusion!

Haha, I've struck it rich!

Seeing the spiders turn their formation around and charge at him again, Xie Yaoyao turned and ran without hesitation, firing shots as he ran.

Soon, the long-silent Miwu Senlin was hosting a massive marathon, with the unsportsmanlike Xie Yaoyao in the lead.

Because whoever got close to him, he would shoot and finish off.

This made the spiders following behind him furious, and their pace quickened by a few notches.

But although the spiders were ferocious, they completely failed to understand the cunning of humans.

In fact, the path Xie Yaoyao was leading them on was a large circle.

When the death marathon reached its second lap, Xie Yaoyao looked at the Entries scattered on the road ahead, tears of excitement almost falling.

"Thanks for the tips, spider ladies! Mwah!"

Fusion!

Fusion!

Fusion!

【Advanced Toxin】 Green!

【Advanced Potent Toxin】 Green!

【Poison-Touch of Pain】 Purple!

After Xie Yaoyao upgraded the toxin Entry to purple, he discovered that no matter how much more he fused, it could only go this far.

It seemed that a golden Entry could not be obtained through simple fusion alone; Xie Yaoyao guessed that golden Entries likely required some special conditions to be fused.

However, Xie Yaoyao had long known that not all Entries could be fused, and that some Entries had a limit to their fusion.

Besides the toxin Entries, what the spiders contributed the most were 【Web Weaver】 Entries.

In the end, besides the purple poison Entry, Xie Yaoyao also obtained a 【Net-Imprisonment】 purple Entry, as well as a large pile of blue 【Leap】, 【Agility】, and 【Steel Bristle】 Entries, and white 【Cave Dweller】 and 【Hunter】 Entries.
