Chapter 64: Super Spider Silk, Bloodfeast Souleater

After going through a good part of the chestnut forest did the group left with satisfaction .

Ling Jiu had picked more . Chestnuts themselves were pretty pricey, and this type of super chestnut was undoubtedly a rare item worth hundreds a single catty .

If the hawkers in the base city were to find out about this chestnut forest, they would definitely be heartbroken . Chestnuts are worth hundreds of dollars per catty, if one were to sell all of the chestnuts in this forest, how much money can you earn?

Sadly for them, they cannot leave the base city, and even if they could, they would not be able to come here as they would have long been fodder for Direbeasts halfway through the trip .

The group continued their slaughter of Direbeasts and soon they came to the mulberry forest .

The leaves of the mulberry trees had all fallen off, exposing their bare trunks, but all surfaces of the trees were covered in white spider webs .

Countless spiderwebs were spread out all over the mulberry forest, completely covering the forest in it, leaving the vision inside the mulberry forest obscured .

“The Direbeast Radar shows that there are a total of 568 Direbeasts in this mulberry forest . Among them are a Class 5 Direbeast, 13 Class 4 Direbeasts, and the rest are Class 3 ones . ”

Ling Jiu said, “According to preliminary observations, all of the Direbeasts are Ten-legged White Ape Spiders . Their strength should not be underestimated . Stay vigilant!”

“Ten-legged White Ape Spider?”

“That is to say, the spider webs covering the entire mulberry forest are all Ten-legged White Apes? How much are these worth?”

The entire team suddenly became excited .

The Ten-legged White Ape Spider is a very powerful social Direbeast, and they were like the result of the fusion between white apes and spiders .

With ten spider legs but the body of a white ape, not only they are agile and powerful, but they were also good at spinning webs!

What’s even more terrifying, the spider silk of the Ten-legged White Ape Spider was extremely tough and comparable to steel in terms of strength . Using this silk to create bullet vests and protective armor not only made them tough and sturdy but also light and easy to wear .

Therefore, the silk of a Ten-legged White Ape Spider is extremely expensive . A pound of their silk could sell for a sky-high price of 1 million yuan!

How much spider silk were there in this forest? If they could collect all of them to sell, how much can they earn?

Chen Feng swallowed his saliva but still reminded everyone, “Guys, be careful . The Ten-legged White Ape Spiders may be worth a lot, but a Ten-legged White Ape Spider isn’t easy to deal with . Any mistakes can just result in us dying here, no joke!”

Hearing this, all of the team members snapped back to reality and calmed down instantly .

Ling Jiu said, “You guys collecting the spider silks . Leave the elimination of the Ten-legged White Ape Spiders to me . I hope by the time I’m done with them, you guys are done collecting!”

“Captain Ling, can you manage alone?” Huang Hailong asked out of concern . “There’s a Class 5 Direbeast there, and it won’t be easy to deal with!”

“Captain Ling, let’s go together?” All the other team members said one after another .

“I have confidence!”

Ling Jiu smiled and spoke before instantly vanishing from where he stood .

“Guy, Captain Ling has already gone ahead . Let’s get moving!”

“Heave ho!”

…

Going underground along the way, Ling Jiu found the first Ten-legged White Ape Spider . Its spider legs were four meters long and were covered with barbs while its body was snow white . It was a literal White Ape Spider with ten legs .

At this moment, the Ten-legged White Ape Spider was crawling on the web, eating a bug-type Direbeast . Its mouth had bulged up as it enjoyed gnawing on its quarry .

Against such a Class 3 Direbeast, Ling Jiu raised his hand and shot out a stone spear through the head of the Ten-legged White Ape Spider, killing it on the spot .

Collecting the corpse, Ling Jiu went on to kill the second Ten-legged White Ape Spider . He was like a silent assassin, searching and killing all the way .

In less than an hour, all Class 3 and Class 4 Ten-legged White Ape Spiders were all killed, leaving only the Class 5 Ten-legged White Ape Spider .

Ling Jiu headed to the center of the mulberry forest to search for the Class 5 Direbeast . Unexpectedly, the Direbeast Radar suddenly sounded . “Alert! Alert! The Class 5 Ten-legged White Ape Spider has disappeared!”

“Hmmm?”

Ling Jiu looked at the Direbeast Radar and saw the orange mark representing the Ten-legged White Ape Spider on the radar disappeared .

“It disappeared?”

Ling Jiu frowned slightly, as he took out his phone and contacted Chen Feng and the rest . “That Class 5 Ten-legged White Ape Spider had disappeared, and its whereabouts unknown . All of you, pull out of the mulberry forest first to avoid being attacked!”

“What?!”

Chen Feng immediately reacted . “Yes, yes! We’ll withdraw right away! Guys, fall back! That Class 5 Ten-legged White Ape Spider has disappeared!”

“F*ck…”

After hanging up, Ling Jiu immediately headed to the center of the mulberry forest, and he found that the heart of the forest was covered in a layer of thick spiderwebs .

The spiderweb had three interior layers and three external layers interwoven to form a very solid defensive circle that surrounded the center of the mulberry forest, leaving it impossible for anyone to see what was inside there .

This was not difficult for Ling Jiu as he dived into the earth and used ‘Earth Escape’ to come to the center of the mulberry forest . Yet, what he saw shocked him .

At the heart of the mulberry forest was a deep pit of unknown depth . The pit wall was covered with thick layers of spider silk, like a carpet covering over the pit .

Ling Jiu heightened his vigilance as he cautiously came to the edge of the pit to have a look down . This look alone sent chills down his spine as cold sweat started to form .

The Class 5 Ten-legged White Ape Spider was at the bottom of the pit . However it was lying motionless there, or rather, it was creeping slowly .

At the same time, it let out bursts of roars as if it was in pain, and it was actually covered with countless small red creatures .

These red creatures looked a little like spiders and a little like crabs . They were only the size of an apple and were blood-red as they clambered all over the Ten-legged White Ape Spider’s body, looking extremely vampish and evil .

“What’s that?”

Ling Jiu was puzzled, and carefully used the osmium soil to grab one of the red creatures over, and then used the microcomputer to query their information .

“Bloodfeast Souleater Spider, a parasitic spider . Its adult form is about ten centimeters, and it can grow up to fifteen centimeters . Its entire body is red as if it is made out of fresh blood…”

“Its body is covered with hard spines and survives as a parasite . It would often get into the bodies of larger Direbeasts and hooked into them with the spines and consumes the host’s blood!”

“At the same time, it would divide rapidly, multiplies, then divides again, forming a huge colony . Only when it had drained the blood of its current host dry it will look for a new host!”

“Bloodfeast Souleater Spider can split into a colony in a short period of time, so the Bloodfeast Souleater Spider is also called the Vampire Spider…”

“Note: The Bloodfeast Souleater Spider has a magical substance-X in its body . X is the main material used for creating the Water of Life, so the Bloodfeast Souleater Spider is extremely valuable . Price: 1 . 5 billion per catty!”

“Whoa, 1 . 5 billion per catty?!”

“You gotta be kidding me!”

Ling Jiu’s eyes almost popped out .
