The King's Avatar: The Sword Immortal Returns

Chapter 9 The Screams from the Spider Cave [Part 1] Encountering a Hidden Boss?!
"what!!!"

Ye Xiu's actions suddenly stopped because of the sudden shout. He felt as if his ears no longer belonged to him; he couldn't feel them anymore.
"Wha...what's wrong?" Ye Xiu asked with difficulty after holding the earphones further away from his ears. Of course, he could still hear the sound in the earphones, but the volume was much lower.

"N-nothing...it's nothing. A purple spider suddenly fell from the sky, but Wenwen killed it."

"Oh, a spider? What? What color did you say it is?"

"Purple—"

"Then check if your health is constantly decreasing..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Ling immediately checked her health and found it was indeed dropping. She quickly healed herself, realizing she had been poisoned and was being relentlessly drained of blood by the spider. Strangely, even after the spider died, Mu Ling's health continued to decrease.

"Draw your sword and kill!"

"When did a poisonous spider get behind you? Didn't you notice your health bar was dropping?"

Mo Qian looked at Mu Ling with amusement. Of the three girls, Mu Ling seemed to be the most clueless, a rather naive little priest. But she was still doing alright. With Ye Xiu and Mo Qian leading the way, the three girls weren't under much pressure. Only Ji Wen occasionally managed to kill some of the smaller spiders.

As for our knight Qianqian, let's forget about her; she's hiding behind Ji Wen.
Both Mo Qian and Ye Xiu are extremely skilled, performing all sorts of amazing maneuvers with ease. They have been teaming up for many years, combining sword and spear techniques, and have developed countless combo skills. They have also won the Best Partner award multiple times.

"So...so awesome!"

The three girls stared blankly at Ye Xiu and Mo Qian's gameplay. Ji Wen seemed a little unconvinced; her aloof and competitive nature wouldn't allow her to be carried by others, so she rushed over to help.
"Hmph, I'm not just a pretty face!"

After catching the monster kicked by Mo Qian, Ji Wen began to unleash a barrage of attacks on the spider, but her speed was clearly lacking. And this was just one spider; Ye Xiu and Mo Qian were each facing several or even a dozen spiders. The difference was obvious, and this vast gap was not so easy to bridge. Ten years of glory, ten years of soul, sword immortals and fighting gods, generation after generation of gods.

"What's this? Old Ye, he's come out of hiding!"

"Haha, Old Ye, you really do keep your word—it actually came true!"

When Mo Qian saw a special kind of spider, he knew that he would soon be notified to enter the Spider Lord's territory.

Sure enough, within three seconds, the game system started displaying a notification:
【Warning! You have mistakenly entered the territory of the Spider Lord. Please leave immediately!】 "Huh—?? What is this thing that's reminding us to leave? Should we go?" Qianqian asked.

"Leaving is impossible. We finally managed to escape the hidden area. Priests, be ready to heal at any time. Heal whenever your health drops. Assassins, go to coordinates [32, 23] and wait. Knights, go to coordinates [45, 54] and wait. Lord Grim will give you instructions later!"

Mo Qian also started playing games. As for Ye Xiu, he couldn't wait to pick up his Thousand Chance Umbrella and rush towards the Spider Lord. His speed was so fast that even Wei Tan would have to say "professional"!
"Hey Lao Ye, why are you running so fast! Wait for me! Oh right, you guys keep an eye on your positions—Priest, remember not to wander off, there are a lot of spiders."

"Okay, okay—you're like a mother hen," Mu Ling complained a little, thinking to herself that this was a huge underestimation of her, Miss Mu Ling. She had come with an alt account to help her sisters, only to discover after logging in that her character was a priest, unable to carry her sisters Ji Wen and Qian Qian.
"Let's all get to our positions. I'll stay here. If your health gets low, just let me know. I have plenty of healing abilities; I'm a priest, hehe—"

Mu Ling said to her two best friends, she still believed in these two great gods. Even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs run? After seeing how Mo Qianhao and Ye Xiu could be so confident in "passing through a sea of ​​flowers without a single petal sticking to them" among so many spiders, Mu Ling knew that these two people must be extraordinary.

"Old Ye, you're too slow. Speed ​​up! We have room for error. You're in charge from now on, do a good job! I have faith in you, Old Ye—"

Ye Xiu's face was full of rejection, "Who asked you to approve it?"

"Knight, prepare. Use your shield to block the Spider Lord, then use your sword—oops, Mo Qian, switch aggro and start attacking. Assassin, flank from the side. Remember, leave immediately after using two skills!"

"Old Ye—" Mo Qian whispered as he moved closer to Ye Xiu.

"Can you please stop babbling? You almost revealed my identity!!"

"What's the panic? They might even admire you if they knew you were a sword immortal—"

Mo Qian looked clearly reluctant; he didn't want Mu Cheng to be angry. But to be fair, Mu Cheng looked quite cute when she was angry, and our Mo Qian was very much a man of virtue.

"You little brat, do you want Mu Cheng to punish me? Don't talk nonsense, Lao Ye. The reason I found this team is to prepare for your Thousand Manifestations Umbrella. Your Thousand Manifestations Umbrella is like a money-devouring beast, it wants all kinds of rare materials, unlike my 'One Thought God and Demon' which is easy to feed."

Ye Xiu was speechless. "Do you even need to look at what you're saying?" The materials required for the later stages of "One Thought God and Demon" are an almost astronomical number. It's just that Mo Qian is relying on the fact that his current silver weapon requires fewer rare materials. There will be plenty of time later when Mo Qian will be crying and begging Ye Xiu for materials. It's still early now. Both the Thousand Chance Umbrella and One Thought God and Demon are only level 5.
