Chapter 14: Slaying the Human-faced Spider Leader

Li Qingxuan took a deep breath, feeling the tranquility after battle and the joy of victory.

This battle not only honed his combat skills, but also increased his resistance to spiritual attacks; the time he spends dazed after a spiritual attack is getting shorter.

However, he did not linger in the joy of victory for too long.

Li Qingxuan searched swiftly in the underground cave and quickly found two silver treasure chests and one black iron treasure chest.

He quickly stored the chests in his backpack, feeling a slight fatigue from his body, and decided to temporarily withdraw, to resume exploration after adjusting his condition.

After storing all the corpses in the atlas, he turned and walked outward.

Just as he was about to withdraw, a low growl suddenly came from deep within the underground cave.

Li Qingxuan's heart tightened, and then he saw a large-bodied, more ferocious-looking human-faced spider accompanied by five or six human-faced spiders emerging from another passage; the largest one at the front seemed to be the leader of the human-faced spiders.

Li Qingxuan's gaze fell upon the information of the human-faced spider leader.

【Weird Creature: Human-faced Spider】

【Type: Spirit Type】

【Constitution: 52】

【Spirit: 88】

【Rank: F Rank】

【Abilities: Soul Arrow, Steel Touch Foot】

【Weak Points: Head, Abdomen】

【Description: Low-level weird creature, gregarious, with extraordinary reproductive capacity】

The human-faced spider leader let out an earth-shaking roar, directing the spiders behind it to charge at Li Qingxuan.

However, Li Qingxuan merely gave a cold smile, flicked his wrist, swapped the Tang Sword in his hand for a Changqiang, swept outward, and instantly cut the two human-faced spiders at the front into two pieces.

Seeing this, the human-faced spider leader flashed a hint of fear in its eyes, but it quickly steadied its mind, letting out a more intense hiss, continually boosting morale.

However, Li Qingxuan no longer wished to waste time; his figure burst forth like a tiger descending the mountain, directly lunging at the human-faced spider leader.

The human-faced spider leader condensed a Soul Arrow; the thick Soul Arrow shot toward Li Qingxuan like black lightning.

Li Qingxuan failed to dodge in time and was struck by the arrow; his face instantly turned pale, his body slightly trembling, but he did not stop his steps. Instead, he condensed a Soul Arrow and shot it at the human-faced spider leader, taking advantage of the leader's dodge gap to rush forward even more fiercely.

Li Qingxuan's Changqiang in hand was like a flood dragon leaping into the sea, bringing a howling wind, and he fiercely stabbed toward the human-faced spider leader's abdomen.

The human-faced spider leader hastily waved its steel touch feet to block, but Li Qingxuan's iron spear, carrying the force of thunder, directly pierced its defense and deeply stabbed into its body.

The human-faced spider leader emitted a mournful wail, its body violently trembling.

Li Qingxuan withdrew the Changqiang and fiercely stabbed toward the human-faced spider leader's head.

This time, the human-faced spider leader could no longer resist; its skull was directly pierced by Li Qingxuan's iron spear, and red and white blood and brain matter sprayed out.

The remaining human-faced spiders, seeing this, scattered in all directions, attempting to flee back to their old nest.

But how could Li Qingxuan let them escape? His figure flickered, he closely followed the human-faced spiders and went straight to their old nest.

In the old nest, the human-faced spiders gathered together, attempting a final resistance.

Li Qingxuan's spear shadows continued without cease; amidst the intersecting light and shadow, he slaughtered all the human-faced spiders.

Inside the entire old nest, only corpses littered the ground and a pungent bloody smell remained.

Li Qingxuan stood at the entrance of the old nest, looking at the mess all over the ground, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

The battle finally ended; Li Qingxuan felt a strong wave of fatigue sweep over his whole body, but he did not stop his steps, instead continuing to carefully search the underground cave.

He guessed that the nest of the human-faced spider leader must certainly contain a bountiful harvest.

Indeed, deep in the underground cave, Li Qingxuan found a golden treasure chest.

He placed the golden treasure chest into his backpack, after storing all the corpses in the atlas, he dragged his fatigued body and slowly walked out of the underground cave.

Outside, the sky had already turned fish-belly white; the first ray of sunlight fell on his body, making him feel a wave of warmth.

He glanced at the time; it was already past ten-thirty, Li Qingxuan no longer delayed, and stepped onto the road home.

As Li Qingxuan passed Li Feifei's room, he bumped into Li Feifei who was opening her door; hearing Li Feifei ask what he had been doing, he recounted last night's experience to Li Feifei.

After hearing this, Li Feifei's eyes sparkled with admiration; she understood that the man she had chosen possessed extraordinary strength and courage, and the smile on her face grew ever brighter.

Seeing that Qingxuan was already very tired, Li Feifei hurriedly had him wash up, prepared a meal, and after eating he could return to rest; at the same time, she reminded herself to act quickly and gather the materials needed to build the city wall as soon as possible.

While trading, see if we can find some seeds, so that we can better demonstrate our abilities.

Yesterday, Li Feifei had already stored the Tang Sword and the water purifier in her backpack, and had posted the trading information.

After taking out Li Qingxuan's breakfast and placing it on the table, Li Feifei sat in her chair to check private chat messages, selecting suitable ones for trading.

Li Qingxuan hastily finished washing up, ate the breakfast Li Feifei had carefully prepared, glanced at the control panel, and found it was already past one o'clock; the remaining daylight for outdoor exploration was only a little over three hours.

Moving his fatigued body, Li Qingxuan decided not to go out again; after greeting Li Feifei, he turned and returned to his room to rest.

Although the pressure is immense, only by nurturing one's spirit can one better face the upcoming challenges.

Returning indoors, Li Qingxuan quickly lay down, adjusted his breathing, and let himself enter a deep sleep state.

Upon waking, he saw it was already seven o'clock; he quickly got up and tidied up, then looked at his private chat messages to check the trading information that had been sent earlier.

Seeing that the quantity of materials sent by many traders was quite considerable, Li Qingxuan inwardly felt satisfied,

Thus, he began to reply one by one, and negotiated the trade ratio with the other party; he summoned Li Feifei, and looking at the slightly trembling Li Feifei, Li Qingxuan handed over the cotton coat and cotton pants he had previously obtained; witnessing her graceful figure being subtly concealed by the clothing, Li Qingxuan couldn't help but feel a tinge of regret.

After Li Feifei had put on her clothes, he requested nine Tang Swords and eight water purifiers from her, then began trading with the buyer.

The transaction proceeded very smoothly, and soon they exchanged for 1300 unit stones and 400 unit iron blocks.

He organized these materials, placed them in the storage room, and prepared them for use in the construction and daily operation of the city wall and the shelter.

After everything was settled, Li Qingxuan asked Li Feifei about the trading situation on her end, and learned that ten Tang Swords and three water purifiers had been exchanged for 800 unit stones and 500 unit iron blocks; additionally, water had been traded for some daily-use pots, bowls, utensils, etc., as well as food, for which he expressed appreciation.

Li Feifei informed Li Qingxuan of the messages in the channel where everyone was discussing the increasingly cold weather; based on the current temperature trend, both sensed that extreme cold might arrive in the future, and immediately resolved to make preparations early.

Thinking of Li Feifei's wooden house, Li Qingxuan worried she might have reservations in her heart, so he discussed with Li Feifei; now that the two are surviving hand in hand, safety should be the priority, and all upgrade materials should be preferentially used for his relatively higher-level shelter; Li Feifei, upon hearing this, expressed understanding and gladly accepted.

Feeling the other's full sincerity, Li Feifei had no hesitation; she placed the wooden house five meters beside Li Qingxuan's, waiting for Li Qingxuan to enter his own wooden house, to incorporate it as an auxiliary shelter, and then returned to her room to continue busy with trading materials.
