Qin Li and Xu Fang got up early and took a car to the meeting point.

Several buses were already waiting there, and the students peered out the windows, looking at the two with a mixture of curiosity and trepidation.

Qin Li didn't want to sit in the car and chat with the school leaders about pointless nonsense, so he volunteered to ride the bus with the students.

Xu Fang didn't care at all.

After boarding, the bus headed towards Qingshi Mountain.

"Mr. Zhang, what level of mage are you?"

"Are you a teacher or a student at Pearl Academy?"

"Hey Zhang, do you have a girlfriend?"

Young people are always quick to build rapport, and Xu Fang seemed quite amiable, so soon many students mustered up the courage to ask him questions.

Xu Fang smiled and addressed a few unimportant questions.

High school students always have a special longing for college life, so Xu Fang started telling stories at just the right time.

The stories of poor boys diligently cultivating their skills and being favored by a noble lady, and Cinderella falling into a love triangle between a cute younger male student and a kind-hearted older male student, captivated these high school students.

—Among them, Zhao Manyan's womanizing and stamp collecting actually received unanimous praise, truly showing how morally corrupt the world has become.

Zhou Jiayi tried to speak several times, but as soon as she opened her mouth, the other students instinctively shut up, making the atmosphere very awkward.

"Say something!" Zhou Jiayi snapped angrily.

"I...I...you should say it." The boy, whose question was asked, shrank his neck and forced out a forced smile that looked more like a grimace.

"You!" Zhou Jiayi was so angry that she stopped talking.

Soon, the bus drove out of the city, and the landscape first turned into vast farmlands, then into deserted wastelands, and finally into lush jungles.

The atmosphere on the bus gradually became tense. Many students were sweating nervously and tried to swallow to relax, only to find that their mouths were already dry.

"Brother Zhang, could you tell us about the precautions for the training?" a female student asked.

Xu Fang chewed on a corn stick given to him by another girl and said, "There's nothing particularly important to note. Just show your strengths."

"But I don't have any special features," the girl pouted. "I'm just a light-elemental mage..."

"What's wrong with light magic? Radiant Light, if used well, is a divine skill. It all depends on whether you can seize the right moment." Xu Fang laughed, "There are no useless spells, only useless mages. Work hard, Pearl Academy's School of Light welcomes you."

"Can I?" The girl was a little touched. This was the first time someone had encouraged her like this since she awakened. "Brother Zhang, you're a good person!"

Ugh, I've been friend-zoned again.

Upon arriving at the training location, the students, led by their teachers, met with the local military mages to arrange their specific training tasks.

Xu Fang and Qin Li strolled around the market at the entrance to Anjie.

Qin Li said, "What we are looking for is a warrior-level demon called the Golden-Veined Demon Spider. This demon has eight long legs, is resistant to high temperatures, friction, and has good ductility, making it an ideal material."

In short, it's a biological version of carbon fiber.

"Look at this one, it's clearly not up to standard."

Qin Li picked up a spider leg from a stall.

The spider's legs, with straight golden stripes, were a full two meters long. The only flaw was the numerous mottled brown wounds on them, resembling corn stalks afflicted with brown spot disease.

The stall owner, already in a bad mood from not making a single sale all day, retorted angrily after Qin Li's comment: "Everything on my stall is genuine; you can't touch anything unless you're buying!"

"Can't people even say something is wrong with the product?"

Qin Li said, "The Golden-Striped Demon Spider has a habit: when faced with the threat of death, it will spray spider silk from multiple nozzles on its body, which then attaches to itself. This spider silk can harden the Golden-Striped Demon Spider's limbs and has a special corrosive property."

"It is precisely this corrosiveness that renders an entire spider leg unusable, just like this one. Therefore, there are very few qualified Golden-Striped Demon Spider legs on the market."

Whether it's a special survival mechanism or not, many demons' counterattacks when they are about to die will damage their bones and essence, causing blacksmiths and hunters a lot of trouble.

Just like how the Tiger King can easily slaughter soldiers, but can't stop them from taking the backup hidden energy and self-destructing.

The stall owner's face turned green. None of his family members understood what was going on; he'd run into a troublemaker while setting up his stall today!

After all that rambling, are you here to buy something or to explore a new restaurant?!

After searching around, I couldn't find a single suitable spider leg, so I had to venture deep into the Qing Shi Mountain forest to search for one myself.

"We must catch them off guard and kill them with lightning speed," Qin Li instructed. "When we encounter the target, you watch from the sidelines; I'll handle everything!"

Xu Fang nodded and followed behind him.

In addition to being fresh, the air in Qingshi Mountain is also very humid. The towering trees stretch out their branches, cutting the sunlight into fine fragments.

Xu Fang tossed out a cluster of small will-o'-the-wisps; the transparent flames dispersed and went off on their own to find a target.

Soon, a panoramic map was fed back into Xu Fang's mental world, including the real-time location of nearby demons.

"Shh!"

From the bushes, a black snake demon suddenly darted out, moving so fast it left a blur, and lunged straight at Xu Fang's neck.

The fangs oozed a dark green venom, leaving no room for doubt that if you were bitten by this thing, you could pack your bags and report to the Dark King tonight.

—However, while the shadowy figure was still in mid-air, a burst of intense light suddenly exploded out.

Light, which is inherently formless and colorless, now acts like a heavy hammer, slamming the black snake demon to the ground, leaving it only able to scream and flick its tongue.

Crimson Fire Array!

Wisps of black smoke rose from the black snake demon, only to be assimilated and absorbed by the light.

Although the energy provided by the servant-level demons is negligible to Xu Fang now, even a small fly is still meat.

"coming."

Qin Li said in a low voice.

Xu Fang looked in the direction he was looking and saw two huge spiders returning from their hunt. The prey in their mouthparts was not quite dead, hanging there bloody and struggling.

Chapter 117 Pretending to be a goddess to fool simps

Qin Li was completely focused, like Runtu hunting hedgehogs in a melon patch; magic was the steel fork he held high.

The carefree "cha" was completely unaware of the impending danger. Its eight compound eyes surveyed its surroundings, and its sharp forelimbs forcefully pierced its prey's body.

It's now!

"Kun's Forest Prison!"

Qin Li instantly activated a mid-level spell, and countless black vines grew wildly, engulfing the two golden-striped demon spiders in this green wave.

The strange flower bloomed, stealing the oxygen from its center. Qin Li planned to suffocate his prey inside so that he could obtain the best quality materials.

"hiss!"

"Squeak..."

Soon, the prison fell silent again. The vines untied one by one, and Xu Fang inexplicably felt like he was drawing cards in a game.

Let's start the double draw right away!

I got it! I got it! Golden-veined Demon Spider... Rusty exterior?

"This shouldn't be... I was so fast." Qin Li was a little frustrated. Both golden-striped demon spiders had sprayed out their silk, ruining the excellent materials.

"Perhaps your magical fluctuations were too strong, and the Golden-Striped Spider had no will to resist, immediately starting to spit silk," Xu Fang analyzed. "We should give it the illusion that it's easy to deal with."

"That makes sense," Qin Li agreed.

"Also, we'd better split up; that would be more efficient." Xu Fang glanced at the time: "Let's set a one-week limit. See you at the entrance in a week."

Qingshi Mountain does not belong to any demon empire, has no particularly strong demons, and does not form a clan like the Nanling Demon Wolf clan.

With Xu Fang's strength, he was more than capable of dealing with the local demons.

Qin Li nodded: "Okay, see you in a week."

······

With Qin Li no longer by his side, Xu Fang suddenly increased his speed.

Ignoring the terrain, the ice and snow chains carried him as he swung between towering trees, while the will-o'-the-wisp map kept refreshing.

Whoosh!

The star was held in his hand, its orbit flashing by, and the faint magical fluctuations did not attract the attention of any demons.

Bang!

One shot blew the head off a Golden-Striped Demon Spider. Before the creature could even react, its torso was flipped over by the immense force of the Sunfire Bullet, its eight legs flailing wildly in mid-air.

Gradually, his limbs stiffened.

Xu Fang walked over, stuck the ring on his finger, and the Golden-Patterned Spider disappeared—the ring was also approved by Dean Xiao and belonged to public resources.

Using the same method, Xu Fang took care of two more.

"Wow, this time it's a big one." Perched on the tree, Xu Fang could clearly see three male golden-striped spiders facing each other, emitting hoarse and unpleasant sounds.

Not far away, a female golden-striped spider, noticeably larger than the others, lay by a small river, wetting her hairy claws with the water and grooming her hairy head.

Whoever wins will gain the right to mate with it.

If we fire, the other three startled golden spiders will most likely spit out spider silk, which would be a real shame.

Xu Fang had other plans.

The three male spiders quickly determined a winner, with the weakest one being kicked out and limping away.

"Hiss~ Hiss~!!!"

The golden-striped spider cried out in resentment as it moved toward the riverbank, attempting to bypass its opponent and directly attract the goddess.

But the female golden-striped spider ignored her completely, continuing to slowly groom her fur.

The male spider walked away dejectedly, looking back every step of the way, until he could no longer see the female spider on the riverbank—wait a minute!

The male spider's eight compound eyes opened wide at the same time. The enormous figure standing in front of it was none other than its goddess.

Before he could even ponder when the goddess had learned the teleportation ability, the male spider rushed forward, raising his pair of forelegs—a mating signal from the Golden-striped Spider.

To its utter astonishment, the goddess actually responded!
