Chapter 1018: All Materials

Puff—

Su Sheng only felt the spear in his hand grow heavy!

Then he discovered that the spider boss was directly impaled by the spear!

Then the spider boss's body flipped over and fell down.

Su Sheng was slightly stunned. What's going on?

At that moment, the spider boss had already landed on the ground, lying on its back with its legs up… actually, eight legs up, exposing its belly.

At the same time, a pile of loot fell beneath that spider Elite Boss.

Among them, two orange light pillars were especially bright, followed by a bunch of purple light pillars.

Meanwhile, the multicolored little spiders on the ground also flipped onto their bellies and fell silent.

Dead?!

???

Su Sheng couldn't help but look at the combat prompt.

Combat prompt: Ghost‑faced Spider Emperor, dealing damage…

Execution Skill: Hunting triggered! Target identified as a boss unit!

Elite Boss unit, Hunting effect determined successful.

Target HP below ten percent, hunting successful!

Combat prompt: Kill target, Ghost‑faced Spider Emperor.

Seeing this, Su Sheng was at a loss for words.

It died already?!

You try to plant flowers and they don't bloom, but plant willows unintentionally and they turn out cute, right?

Just now we tried many times, but never triggered.

Didn't expect that after giving up the idea, it would trigger now.

All those little spiders on the ground died at once, and the people dealing with them were taken aback.

Then they looked at the team combat prompt.

Player Mo Wen Qianchen, killed Ghost‑faced Spider Emperor.

Killed?!

Everyone looked up at the Ghost‑faced Spider Emperor's corpse on the ground.

Then they glanced at Su Sheng, still floating in the air.

What just happened?!

The BOSS still had 10% HP, and was hanging on the spider web.

How did the leader suddenly kill the boss?!

"Chairman, what's going on?!"

Nightcoming Big Bear opened his mouth with a bewildered expression.

He had just been dealing with the little spiders, wielding a hammer, and had a buff that, once activated, made his attacks a small‑area AoE.

So he was essentially the main force for clearing the little spiders; a single hammer swing killed a small patch of them, except the golden ones.

He was hammering happily when he suddenly realized all the little spiders had flipped onto their bellies and died.

Looking up, he saw not only the little spiders dead, but the big spider dead as well.

"Ahem, lucky, lucky." Su Sheng rubbed his nose, then controlled the Mythical Lion to land.

Afterward, Su Sheng canceled the Mounted State, flipped off the Mythical Lion, rubbed his hands, and looked at the loot before him.

He didn't know what kind of rewards it would yield.

This spider Elite Boss, though elite, was overall still relatively hard to defeat.

If the hunting passive hadn't finally triggered, they'd probably have to replay this full‑HP BOSS.

Nevertheless, one must admit this Hunting Skill is quite good, despite its low trigger rate.

For small monsters, it's of little use; at 10% HP, the difference between instant kill and not is minimal.

But when fighting a BOSS, if a miracle occurs, it's a blood profit.

Now is the time to reap the harvest!

Su Sheng casually scooped up all the loot.

Then Su Sheng's expression turned especially vivid.

He didn't know how to start, "You're right, okay!"

All of them were pure materials, not a single piece of equipment.

You say it's bad? These materials aren't bad either.

Su Sheng shared the items' attributes…

Everyone fell silent.

All the drops were materials; there wasn't a single Gold Coin, let alone equipment.

Conversely, the ordinary Ghost‑faced spiders earlier had dropped some equipment, and also a fair amount of building materials, all premium quality.

The blue and purple materials are nothing special; they're premium materials needed for main construction. Though the acquisition difficulty isn't small, there are ways—it just takes some effort.

But now that they've already dropped, it's better than nothing.

What's more interesting is a purple blueprint.

Blueprint: Defensive Rolling Log (Purple)

It can produce rolling logs hung on the city wall; when facing enemies below the wall, it can trigger the logs to fall and cause physical damage.

The damage size is related to the height of the rolling log.

This also counts as a defensive blueprint; keep it for now.

Afterwards, Su Sheng didn't know how to assemble these two materials, but one of them seemed somewhat familiar.

Magic Core (orange)

Explanation: This core is needed to set up certain magic buildings.

It feels somewhat familiar.

Su Sheng thought for a moment, then recalled something and patted his own head.

So this is it!

I remembered!

I previously obtained a blueprint for the Moat Magic Array! (Chapter 766)

But when I first looked at it, the required materials were far too lacking.

So I simply tossed it into the warehouse, putting it at the bottom of a crate.

Because various building materials were needed in large amounts, at the time I only glanced at it and noted down some of the core key materials.

And this magic core turned out to be one of the materials for that magic array.

But there's only one of it!

If I remember correctly, the Moat Magic Array originally required a full ten magic cores.

That's why I simply pressed it to the bottom of the crate back then, let alone the other materials.

Tsk…

Afterwards, Su Sheng looked at another orange-colored material.

It's unfamiliar, but it will surely be useful someday.

Keep it.

Afterwards, Su Sheng directly gathered everything up.

There was nothing to split as loot; everything counts as guild supplies.

However, points-wise, we still need to give them rewards.

"Store it for now, then continue onward."

Su Sheng spoke up.

Everyone rested in place.

Meanwhile, Su Sheng looked toward the other exit of the plaza.

When we first entered, the exit had been sealed off by spider webs.

After entering, the entrance they came through was also sealed by spider webs.

However, now that the Ghost-faced Spider Emperor has been slain, the spider webs sealing both passageways quietly rotted and then collapsed away.

Everyone rested for a few minutes, then kept combat readiness and set out again.

Su Sheng still took the lead.

Upon stepping into the second street, Su Sheng's brow twitched slightly.

Although this section of the street is also collapsed and looks dilapidated, the remaining sections of the walls on both sides are covered with various fine patterns that faintly glow.

This is…

Magic Runes?!

These patterns resemble those on the earlier Modern Cannon.

At the same time, Su Sheng also noticed.

The ground of this street has many irregular cracks; the cracks are tiny, just a slit, but they are densely packed, seeming to follow some pattern yet also appearing completely irregular.

How strange…

Never mind, we'll take it step by step.

Afterwards, Su Sheng led the way forward.
