Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

The slippery and dripping moss surface, the deep and shallow muddy ground after landing, the cobwebs with strange outlines reflected in the dark when encountering a little light, and the faint sound of insects crawling...

gloomy.wet.The atmosphere of horror is strong.

In the crypt where the Thousand Poisonous Spider King is located, the caves are intertwined, like a complex and huge maze.

The spiritual power riot caused by the promotion of the Spider King blocked their perception to a certain extent. Even Ling Yao could not directly perceive the whole picture of the maze and judge the correct direction.

Therefore, after a group of people went deep underground, they could only follow the breath of spiritual power and rely on a little luck to move forward.

But fortunately, it would take a certain amount of time for the Thousand Poisonous Spider King to be promoted to the sixth rank, and it would be of no benefit to them if they rushed to the scene too early.

Under the leadership of Lou Chuanyang, the team that was separated to search for the Spider King was slowly moving forward.

The inspiration pattern under Ling Yao's feet was smaller than the area lit up during the battle, covering only a few members of the exploration team.

But the spirit pattern is also bright, it seems that it is not only sensing, but also deliberately illuminating the surrounding environment.

And when those low-level thousand poisonous spiders hiding in the dark attack their people, the spirit pattern will light up a warning blue light in that direction.

Without his own action, Lou Chuanyang and others quickly followed up and killed those arthropods that were planning to sneak attack first.

Along the way, the ground was also covered with large and small spider corpses.

"Didn't it say that there will be about a hundred thousands of poisonous spiders guarding it? Is there something wrong with your intelligence?"

Seeing Huo Hongchuan and the others attacking the newly emerged thousand poisonous spiders, and then someone followed up immediately to clean up the venom and debris of those spiders, Ling Yao couldn't help but frowned and asked.

Lou Chuanyang's face was also very serious, obviously not relaxed because of the seemingly safe situation at the moment.And the abnormality of the thousand poisonous spider guards also made him very puzzled:

"This...we've never been deep into the Spider King's Crypt before. Perhaps they are more hidden in a more central place.

"Let's speed up. Otherwise, if we miss the opportunity, it won't be as simple as a rescue failure."

Even Ling Linhan could hear the uncertainty in his tone.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Ling Yao.

After hearing Lou Chuanyang's words, Ling Yao was noncommittal, but tightened the hilt of his sword:

"Just be careful."

Along the way, all they encountered were low-level thousand poisonous spiders.However, looking at the environment here, it is clear that there are many fresh traces of third- and fourth-order thousand poisonous spiders moving here.

Where have all these thousand poisonous spiders gone?Is this in the arrangement of the Thousand Poison Spider King who is being promoted?

He had to be prepared for the unexpected.

Because if the existence of these thousand poisonous spiders is not necessary for the Spider King, it also means that, perhaps, the period of weakness of the Spider King they can win...maybe not as long as they imagined.

……

Different from the dim environment outside, the center of the crypt, the largest cave where the Thousand Poisonous Spider King lives at the moment, is bright.

The ground is full of crystal nuclei that reflect the dazzling light.Dark green, dark brown, dark purple...

The color of such crystal nuclei symbolizes that these crystal nuclei produce poisonous monsters.

On the cave wall and ceiling, there are silver-white cobwebs hanging all over.

On the spider web, there are prey wrapped in spider silk.

Some of them have dried up, some have just died, and some are still alive, lingering in despair.

cut - cut - cut -

The spider's claws scratched the ground, making a creepy sound.

Through the gaps in the spider silk, Dao Jinwen vaguely saw the huge gray-green body of the Thousand Poisonous Spider King, flashing past in her vision.

This is a thousand poisonous spider king who is about to reach the sixth level.With Dao Jinwen Danyang's initial strength, it is not enough to break free from the shackles set by the opponent.

Not to mention, after a few days of not drinking or eating, relying entirely on spiritual power to support her, she was already too weak to restrain her.

Her only hope is that the people in Anqi Village can worry about her status as a "priest candidate" and send someone to rescue her before the Spider King has reached the sixth level.

And once the Thousand Poisonous Spider King passed the threshold of the sixth level, no one in Anqi Village could defeat this monster except for the old village owner who was already in the untouched state.

At the time of introduction, under the balance of pros and cons, An Qi is very likely to give up rescuing her and wait for the next "priest candidate" to be born.

Then she is completely finished.

During the time when she was taken captive by the Thousand Poisonous Spider King, there was not a single day that she was not looking forward to and suffering.

However, let alone the people who came to rescue her, the only ones who could enter this central crypt were dying prey or corpses brought back by the Thousand Poisonous Spider King.

Crack, crack, crack...Crack——

Suddenly, from a place she couldn't see, there was the sound of cutting and chewing, and the movement was quite loud.

Then, the surrounding spiritual power suddenly rioted.

She couldn't help but shiver.

During this period of time, the Thousand Poison Spider King ate more and more, and the number of crystal nuclei he collected also increased.

Dao Jinwen could also guess the reason for this—the Thousand Poisonous Spider King suddenly started hunting a lot of food, probably to replenish his physical and spiritual power and make final preparations for promotion.

This made Dao Jinwen very worried that she would become the opponent's meal before the spider king was promoted.

But after so many days, although the thousand poisonous spider king came back to see her from time to time, he had no intention of attacking her.

——She is the great supplement that the Spider King left for him after he was promoted.

This allowed her to temporarily save her life, but it also meant that once the Spider King was successfully promoted, she would have no way out.

And now, the promotion of the Thousand Poisonous Spider King has finally begun.

After another long time, when the fear in her heart reached a certain extreme, in the turbulent flow of spiritual power, she suddenly heard an unusual voice——

"It's over there...the spiritual power is very strong..."

"I see! It's the white thing! It's so big..."

"There are a lot of crystal nuclei on the ground here. Does the Thousand Poisonous Spider King have such a habit of hunting in large quantities?"

"It can't move when it's promoted, right? Then can we..."

"Although it will not actively attack us when it is promoted, the energy on it will also passively defend and attack everyone who approaches. This is too dangerous."

"Let's wait a little longer, it looks like it's almost over. Wait until the period of weakness after the promotion..."

Dao Jinwen's hearing is naturally sharper than ordinary people, so she can easily hear these small sounds outside the cave.

"I don't know if Dao Jinwen is still alive..."

She was shocked—someone mentioned her name!These are the people from An Qizhai who came to rescue her!

She began to struggle hard, trying to make some noise—although with her current physical strength, the little noise she made might not be able to attract the attention of those people at all.

"Ah, the spiritual power is starting to subside!"

"Still according to the original plan, do you go in alone?"

Dao Jinwen suddenly heard the voice of a strange young man.She was sure that the person who spoke was definitely not from Anqizhai.

"Yes. Everything went well before, but the Thousand Poison Spider guards didn't show up, so it's still a hidden danger."

The one who answered was Lou Chuanyang's voice, and his tone sounded quite polite.

"Brother Yao, please continue to take care of the others."

Then, she heard Lou Chuanyang's approaching footsteps.

……

"Is it really okay? I always feel..."

Ling Linhan frowned gradually as he watched the back of Lou Chuanyang carefully entering the cave, and the cocoon of spider silk that seemed to be nothing but an empty shell after his spiritual power subsided.

Holding the Yingying sword in his hand, Ling Yao lowered his head and used the tip of the sword to pull the scattered crystal nucleus fragments on the ground.

"The so many crystal nuclei hidden in the cave were all sucked dry, and it also caused a spiritual siphon from the outside world... This spider king not only succeeded in promotion, but also is stronger than ordinary sixth-order monsters."

"Of course. This is the Thousand Poisonous Spider King."

Ling Linhan's gaze also followed Ling Yao's sword point downwards,

"Look at the crystal nuclei here, they are all dark-colored, poisonous monsters will produce such crystal nuclei."

Ling Yao suddenly showed a thoughtful expression:

"If I remember correctly... the crystal nucleus of the Thousand Poisonous Spider is dark green, right?"

"Yes. That's the color. The stronger the poison, the darker the color."

Ling Linhan only thought it was Ling Yao's casual question, and didn't take it to heart, but continued to add,

"Using this kind of crystal nucleus to supplement one's spiritual power is to add poison to poison, which is a great supplement to the Thousand Poisonous Spider King. And there are so many 'reserved' food hanging here to replenish physical strength..."

"Dark green...thousand poisonous spider...dark color..."

Ling Yao's wrist paused, and he suddenly raised his head, looking at Lou Chuanyang who had already entered the depths of the cave,

"No...not right! It's not that those thousand poisonous spiders are not here, but all of them are...too bad!"

Before Ling Linhan could react, he saw Ling Yao suddenly dodge and run towards the cave.

"Hey! What's the situation! Didn't you say..."

"The situation is wrong! You come to guard the others... No, take them back!"

Ling Yao almost yelled out these words.

But before he finished speaking, the silver-white ball cocoon that seemed to have lost its vitality suddenly swelled up, and the spider silk began to peel off layer by layer.

Before Ling Yao arrived there, Lou Chuanyang, who was carefully approaching the ball cocoon, also found something unusual at this moment.

He soon realized that the spider king's period of weakness might be much shorter than he imagined.

He immediately speeded up, drew his knife and ran towards the ball cocoon.

At this time, he naturally wanted to try to kill the Spider King as soon as possible to avoid future troubles.

However, didn't Ling Yao know that Lou Chuanyang would react like this, and just rushed forward to remind him?

"Run! It has no weak period at all!"

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

A little bit of cold light streaked across the sky, and the shadow of the Thousand Moon Moon Sword was separated.

The phantom returns to one, and its power is like a thousand jun.

Before it was too late to stop Lou Chuanyang's scimitar from falling on the huge ball cocoon, Ling Yao's Shadow Moon Style followed closely behind.

boom--!

With a loud bang, dust flew up.

Ling Yao stepped forward at this moment, grabbed Lou Chuanyang's shoulder in the confusion, and pulled him back violently.

And just when Lou Chuanyang was forced to step back, he saw a silver-white chelicer suddenly burst out from the ball cocoon, and landed on the position that Lou Chuanyang occupied just now!

"How is this going?"

Lou Chuanyang was in doubt.

If it is a sixth-order monster in the weak stage, with his strength of Dongxu Shuijie, he should be able to easily deal with it.

But the monster in front of him, although his breath is still a little unstable, but its current strength is definitely beyond Lou Chuanyang's ability to deal with it!

"It hunted its own kind. The crystal nucleus fragments on the ground belong to other thousand poisonous spiders."

Before Ling Yao could finish his words, Lou Chuanyang already understood.

Maybe it's because the Thousand Poisonous Spider and the Spider King have the same root and origin, they hunted other similar Thousand Poisonous Spider Kings, their strength is even stronger, and the period of weakness is greatly shortened!

Such a thing is not without precedent.It's just that with human thinking, most of them will not kill their companions in exchange for temporary benefits.

Therefore, Lou Chuanyang and even Ling Yao were unable to think of this in the first place.

With just an explanation, most of the silver-white ball cocoon was broken by the sharp claws, and the huge body of the Thousand Poisonous Spider King was also revealed in the smoke and dust.

However, its gaze only glanced over Ling Yao and Lou Chuanyang, the two uninvited guests, and quickly stepped on the wreckage of the ball cocoon, slowly crawling towards the depths of the cave.

Lou Chuanyang was also shocked by the quick recovery of the Thousand Poison Spider King, but Ling Yao had already rushed forward.

With the help of the inspiration pattern and the ability of shadow shifting, his figure came to the side of the Thousand Poisonous Spider King in an instant.

The soft and rotten soil on the ground made it difficult to rely on strength, but Ling Yao made a decisive decision and jumped on the spider king's claws while the spider king was busy on his way.

And between the ups and downs of the chelicerae, it jumped onto the Spider King's back in a thrilling movement.

Swing the sword down——

It is a mountain!
