Chapter 1012: Spider

Everyone entered Combat State.

After all, it's an elite squad, so everyone's actions were naturally swift.

Su Sheng saw something and roughly guessed about this first wave of monsters.

As those rustling sounds drew near, silhouettes began to appear over the ruins.

Sure enough…

Su Sheng was not wrong; the monsters that emerged were spiders about the size of a small calf, with a terrifying human face printed on their backs.

It helps that this ruins Dungeon is set in daylight; otherwise it would scare people to death.

Even so, many female players paled and adjusted the screen.

Under normal circumstances, the visuals in the game "Zhu Lu" are completely realistic, but considering players' psychological tolerance, some scenes can be pixelated or rendered in anime style.

However, this feature must be adjusted by the player themselves.

Although it claims to be a "Second World", after all it's just a game, so it needs to be more user‑friendly.

But as Su Sheng looked at these monsters, his brows twitched slightly, and he oddly thought, "Weren't we supposed to let the restless souls rest? These aren't souls at all."

Never mind, clear the monsters first…

The monsters appeared all at once, densely packed, numbering close to four or five hundred.

No wonder it's a team quest; the intensity spikes immediately, but we need to check the monsters' attributes first.

Su Sheng thought, this is a level‑70 team Dungeon, so these monsters are unlikely to be easy.

He was the only level‑70 player present!

Meanwhile, the average level of the Yanhuang Elite Squad was around 66.

Then the ranged class began probing the monsters' attributes with attacks!

Soon, the monsters' attributes were shared.

Level‑70 Normal Monster!

Ruins Ghost-faced Spider!

Level: 70

HP: 350,000

Attack: 18,000

Defense: 8,000

Skills: Spit Silk, Weave Net, Pierce, Toxin

Description: A swarm of ghost‑faced spiders that have taken up residence on a ruined site.

Thick HP, high Attack, low Defense.

Actually, the Defense isn't that low, but within the scope of level‑70 monsters, it's relatively low.

It's not just a Normal Monster; it can still endure this data!

At this moment, those ghost‑faced spiders charged down with hoarse cries.

Su Sheng immediately raised his Shield!

At the same time, the team's guard knights began erecting a defensive line!

The two sides quickly made contact!

"The damage is so high!"

"The spider‑leg spike attack has a defense‑break effect."

"All of this monster's attacks carry toxin damage; Priest, watch the front‑line HP!"

It helps that they're all elite squads.

Otherwise, they might not be able to hold up.

Occasionally there was chaos; the spiders' silk spitting is a Control Skill.

Stasis was applied; after the guard knights ahead, some OT spiders attempted to bypass the defensive wall.

Fortunately Su Ba was present and hurriedly had the ritualist add more control.

Then Zhang Zhi quickly began rearranging the Priest's skill order; the Evolution skill was originally for antidote, but given the situation, the Stasis skill's impact is greater.

As for the toxin, because it cannot stack, it only slightly raises the healing burden, which remains within tolerable limits.

Thus Zhang Zhi adjusted the strategy, reserving all Evolution scrolls to dispel the spiders' control effects; otherwise the defensive line would be easily breached.

After all, on such a chaotic battlefield, guaranteeing no OT is hard, especially when not focusing fire on just one or two monsters.

Su Sheng, without much burden, checked Zhang Zhi's commands and found no major issues; after the formation steadied, Su Sheng charged out alone.

These level‑70 spiders, though not lacking in stats, had no room for arrogance before him.

The spiders' Defense, in front of Su Sheng, was pitifully low.

Combined with buffs and his weapon's armor‑piercing, Su Sheng slaughtered them with ease.

As these ghost‑faced spiders fell, Su Sheng's brows lifted slightly; the experience granted by these level‑70 ghost‑faced spiders was quite substantial.

No wonder it's a Dungeon!

The experience offered exceeds that from the previous Demon Race, mainly because the Dungeon lacks experience protection.

Of course, at Su Sheng's level, these monsters have not yet reached the experience‑protection threshold.

Although the experience is generous, Su Sheng is now level 70, and the leveling bar makes his scalp tingle; gaining a level in a short time would be quite taxing.

He glanced again at Suanni's experience bar.

Su Sheng simply maxed out the pet's experience allocation, raising Suanni's level to 65 first; the remaining experience difference is negligible.

He wonders what skills can be mastered after reaching computation level 65.

Keep fighting!!

These 500-plus ghost-faced spiders were dealt with without taking much time.

Afterwards, the people behind maintained their combat stance and slowly advanced, while Su Sheng alone went forward, taking the lead.

This expanse of ruins is huge, far larger than the Main City!

After all, it's Huangcheng!

There are countless small towns, and the number of Newbie Villages is also uncountable.

But there are only 4 Main Cities!

These four Main Cities must accommodate the Whole Server's players, with player activity reaching hundreds of millions. Moreover, online times are uniform; although not everyone will crowd into the Main Cities at the same time, most players are still in the wilderness.

But the four Main Cities capable of handling the Whole Server's turnover give an idea of how huge this Main City is, after all, it has collision volume, and there's no such thing as line splitting.

But there's only one Huangcheng for the Whole Server!!!

From this, one can infer that Huangcheng's volume must be magnificent!

Since this ruin is called Huangcheng, its volume can be imagined.

After clearing this wave of 500 spiders, the team continued deeper, and then various spider monsters began to appear one after another.

Each time they appear in waves.

When numerous, they can reach six or seven hundred; when few, only one or two hundred.

Fortunately, although it's a ruin, there are some properly scaled streets; thanks to collision volume, when there are many monsters, you don't have to face them all head-on.

Otherwise, it would indeed be troublesome.

Just, after walking all the way, seven or eight hours of game time have passed.

But so far, the spiders keep coming endlessly.

No other monsters have been encountered.

Su Sheng saw this scene, his brows slightly furrowed. Judging by this pace, the cycle of this large-scale dungeon might be relatively long.

But thinking about it, it's no wonder—fully exploring this vast Huangcheng Ruins isn't that easy.

But Su Sheng was also happy, the others had no particular emotions, and even wore smiles.

After becoming familiar with these spiders' combat patterns, everyone handled them with ease, and the experience gained from these spiders is also high.

From time to time, they could drop one or two pieces of gear around level 70—green, blue, and occasionally purple equipment.

What more could one ask for, a bicycle?

And Su Sheng also encountered a surprise.

And with about half an hour of game time left, the lion-like beast leveled up!
