After gathering a few more herbs, he bid farewell to everyone and slid away alone towards the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Gauss, don’t you want to follow him and take a look, in case he encounters any wild beasts?\" Host still felt a bit uneasy watching Serdur’s disappearing figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Gauss paused for a moment. \"Don’t worry, Serdur is very strong.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t lying. Despite being a priest, Serdur was quite formidable. With his ability to summon magical weapons, not only ordinary beasts but even same-tier combat professionals would find it not easy to take him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, with his mobility, even if he couldn’t win, retreating wouldn’t be difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is a nimble priest whose teleportation ability is maxed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Serdur went out to gather herbs, Gauss didn’t stay idle either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply joined Aaliyah and took Celeron to play by the creek outside the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the babbling brook, Aaliyah and Celeron chased after fish in the clear shallow water with bare feet, while Ulfen and Aik surrounded them, entrapping the prey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With more and more small fish added to the basket, their silvery laughter echoed around the shallow beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gauss withdrew his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cool breeze stirred his fine black hair, and he felt exceptionally calm and content.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if an invisible burden had been lifted from him, allowing him to finally begin addressing leftover family matters without constantly worrying about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this unburdened state, his mind became even more active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took out the White Magic Wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a warm light emerged, the clay in front of him slowly transformed into four Clay Spiders quietly resting on the ground before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since advancing Clay Magic to lv3, he noticed slight changes in the magic, becoming more versatile and capable of fusing with other materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For this, he had already prepared several suitable materials in advance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been silently waiting for the day his spell proficiency reached lv3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These materials included various mixed toxins, flammable oils and explosives, steel ingots, luminescent substances, and adhesive materials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He called a small spider forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to move was the strongest, Little White.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With various materials in hand, Gauss focused on the Clay Spider, his 12-intellect brain rapidly planning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his imagination, the materials he prepared were destined to create: 1. [Venomous Spider] form, using internal pores and grooves in the mandibles to inject venom when attacking the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2. [Explosive Spider] form. This would be employed like a suicide engineer, combining flammable oil and explosives, compressing within the Clay Spider’s internal space to form a violent explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clay creatures wouldn’t really die, even after \"self-destructing,\" they could still reorganize via Magic Power after the explosion. Thus, there wouldn’t be a scenario of harming the enemy while severely damaging oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, this form possessed a certain degree of concealment. Most first-time enemies would find it hard to discern its functions from its appearance. Even if they knew, it’s not that easy to evade; the greatest strength of Clay Spider lies in its mobility, allowing swift and free movement across any terrain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3. [Steel Armor Scout] form. Controlling molten metal to cover key areas like the mandibles, head, and back with a layer of jagged steel armor, giving the Clay Spider increased hardness, attack power, and defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s no need to worry about the shock of the attack causing damage to the clay core through the steel armor. Same rationale, the Clay Spider is not a real creature, and doesn’t have relatively weak organs like viscera or heart. Once the steel armor grows and becomes part of it, its strength significantly increases.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>4. [Decoy Spider] form. Using luminescent materials and special lures to emit a glow in dark environments and release a unique scent to attract the enemy’s attention as a decoy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for why not use [Light Spell].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it could be used, but the magical fluctuations of the Light Spell make enemies more alert compared to ordinary luminescent materials. Such a spider wouldn’t be a decoy but would instead alert the enemy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5. [Binding Spider] form. By spraying or applying powerful adhesive, it quickly adheres enemies, especially small ones, to the ground or walls, hence limiting their movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It can also produce strong adhesive at necessary times to help them climb steep or smooth rock walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, these are Gauss’s ideas, and whether they can be realized, and which ones can, will require Gauss’s verification through experiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he felt there was a reasonable chance of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the information conveyed by the spell model indicated that the Clay Spider could absorb substances, transform, and enhance corresponding effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, it’s about using Magic Power to enhance material effects, and after memorizing the material, a corresponding rune would form in the spell’s magic property, then continuously use Magic Power to produce similar effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the \"venom,\" \"steel,\" \"adhesive\" in essence become magical effects instead of real substances, and when Magic Power is depleted, it returns to its original state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, the potency of the toxins he carries might be 1, but through the integration and enhancement by Clay Magic, its potency could reach 1.5 or higher.\u003C\u002Fp>",894,"2026-06-05T18:36:35.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","2493f0b82cafecbbdbb6963ce069dfc6485db7446994e04800d28d803cab0b53","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-273","i-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-chapter-74",640,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-a-goblin-slayer-cover.jpg"]
