I, Yuhaka, am hungry!

"Yuyu-chan, what is that crystal?"

Regarding the javelin, Yuhaka boasted to the javelin throwers:

"This is ore from the Abyss =w=, that's why it glows~"

As Yuhaka moved, the crystal in her hand emitted a dazzling light. Seeing the crystal in Yuhaka's hand shining, Javelin and the others couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, clearly surprised by the crystal in Yuhaka's hand that could emit light like a lamp.

"With this crystal ore, we don't have to worry about the darkness at the bottom of the cave at all!"

Looking at the crystal in Yuhaka's hand, Karyl said with admiration, after all, this way they wouldn't have to worry about the dark situation below.

The only problem is that if they use this crystal ore, the monsters below will also be able to spot them, which in a sense is both a disadvantage and an advantage.

However, no matter what, Karyl would much rather fight her enemies in the light than in a dark cave.

So, when there was light, Yuhaka and the others entered the cave, searching for clues left behind by the other party, using the light emitted by the crystal ore.

=w= Sniff sniff~ Sniff sniff~ Ah, over here OwO→

Following Yuhaka's sense of smell, Yuhaka and her group ventured deep into the cave and soon spotted a passage covered in white spiderwebs.

Looking at the passageway covered in cobwebs, Karyl looked at it with disgust and said:

"Uh... is this the lair of those monsters?"

Yuhaka nodded in agreement with Karyl's question. Seeing Yuhaka nod, Karyl and the others couldn't help but twitch their lips. After all, the cave was full of spider webs, which made it difficult for Javelin and the others to enter. The reason was that the spider webs were very dirty.

Seeing that Javelin and the others looked hesitant to go in, Yhaka mistakenly assumed that they were worried that the stickiness of the spider web would interfere with their movements. So Yhaka breathed a breath of freezing air into the spider web-covered cave. With a crackling sound of ice forming, the spider web-covered cave in front of Yhaka was frozen solid.

Seeing this scene, Javelin and the others couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Oh! Oh! Oh!" Clearly, they were quite surprised to see this, and they no longer had to worry about the spider webs being dirty.

In fact, fire would be more effective for Yuhaka. Spider webs, rich in protein and oil, are basically no different from flammable materials when exposed to flames. Not to mention that these spider webs cover the entire cave passage. If a fire is set on them, the spiders inside might be roasted into roasted spiders.

Of course, if there are people inside, it's the same. Not to mention that the flames will burn away the oxygen in the cave passage. Although Yuhaka doesn't need oxygen, that doesn't mean Karyl doesn't.

Javelin and Maye, being ship girls, don't have a high demand for oxygen; at least they can hold their breath for much longer than Karyl.

Once the spider webs were frozen by Yuhaka, they would crumble into pieces with the slightest touch, just like dried leaves.

Seeing that the spider web could be easily cleared, Javelin and her team cleared a path and proceeded cautiously to avoid any possible sneak attacks from the darkness.

As Yuhaka froze the spider webs, the monster spiders inside sensed something. Several of them moved to the other side of a cave passage where a dark elf assassin squad was holding a meeting. Upon seeing the spider monsters approaching, the dark elf assassin squad stopped.

"Someone's coming, let's retreat."

Upon hearing their captain's words, the other dark elf assassin squads immediately began their retreat. After settling the spider monsters they had controlled, the dark elf assassin squads departed. During the retreat, one of the dark elf assassin squad members looked at his captain and asked:

"Captain, some of the prisoners are still alive. Shouldn't we silence them?"

Regarding his teammate's problem, the captain of the Dark Elf assassin squad explained to him:

"Forget about them. Those humans injected with venom won't live long. Don't forget there's a huge swarm of giant spiders and their webs here. If a human adventurer team or army wants to get in, they'll have to spend a lot of time dealing with the spider webs, the giant spider swarm, and the giant spider queen. Rescuing them will also take a lot of time. But the question is, how did they find us?"

The dark elf assassins present were also unsure about this, since almost no one from the human convoy they had ambushed had gone out to report the incident, and the dark elf assassins had not seen any carrier pigeons or signal flares used for intelligence communication. Therefore, they could only assume that the other party might be adventurers from who-knows-where.

After all, they have informants on every road, so they can know who comes and goes.

However, they retreated before the situation became clear, because if the other side turned out to be a tough opponent, they would be in trouble if they couldn't defeat them.

However, in reality, he was a tough opponent, and this move prevented them from being wiped out by Yhaka alone.

Meanwhile, Yuhaka and her group were also advancing rapidly towards this location. Although the spider web caused them a slight obstacle, it wouldn't last long, and soon they were almost at the location of the giant spider's nest.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1460 [A Preview of Main Quest Two]

"Da da da da—! OwO"

Accompanied by Yuhaka's voiceover, the heavy crossbow in Yuhaka's hand also emitted a series of gunshots like a machine gun. The glow bullets fired by the heavy crossbow seemed to be free, smashing the charging giant spiders to pieces one by one.

Seeing the incongruous scene before her, Karyl's eyes twitched involuntarily. Although it was very satisfying to see Yuhaka slaughtering those terrifying giant spiders, Karyl somehow felt like she wanted to complain but didn't know what to complain about.

Seeing Karyl's expression, Javelin misunderstood something and patted her on the shoulder, saying:

"Well, well, the passageway here is quite narrow, so it's perfect for Yuu to deal with all those spider-like monsters. Karyl doesn't need to feel ashamed about it~"

Upon hearing Javelin's words, Karyl looked at Javelin with a bewildered expression, as if she didn't understand what Javelin was talking about.

Soon, under Yhaka's onslaught, all the giant spiders died. After seeing the remaining giant spiders escape, Yhaka used ice element to freeze the spider webs in the passage and then stepped on the frozen webs to walk into the interior of the giant spider's nest. Javelin and the others behind Yhaka quickly followed.

Upon arriving at a spacious underground space, Yuhaka and her companions saw numerous interconnected cave passages. Clearly, this underground space was also a network of passages resembling a spider web, but they had no idea which way these passages led.

Soon, as if sensing something, Yuhaka said to the others:

“The big spiders are coming from all around, OwO.”

Hearing Yuhaka's words, everyone quickly looked around at the cave passages. They then saw numerous giant spiders charging towards them from all directions. Seeing this, Karyl realized something and said:

"What?! Was the retreat just a deliberate tactic to lure us in?! Yabaideshi!!"

Yuhaka, with an "OwO~" expression, stomped his little foot. As he did so, a large amount of rock rose from the ground, blocking the interconnected cave passages. The giant spiders that rushed over were dumbfounded, clearly not expecting Yuhaka to block the entrance.

Because the giant spiders aren't very good at digging, these giant spiders couldn't get into the interior of the giant spider nest for a while. Yuhaka and the others took this opportunity to attack the giant spiders in the nest. Of course, because they were in a cave, Karyl could only use her lightning ball magic; she couldn't use magic that could create large-scale explosions.

Before long, Yuhaka and her group also arrived at the cave where the Giant Spider Queen was located. The Giant Spider Queen was a giant spider with a body size about the size of a small car, much larger than those giant spiders that were about the size of dogs. Unfortunately, her large size did not bring any advantage to her and instead made her an easy target for Yuhaka.

After Yuhaka unleashed a barrage of attacks on his opponent with his heavy crossbow, the opponent was quickly riddled with holes. As the giant spider queen fell, the surrounding giant spiders fled in a panic.

Looking at the fleeing giant spiders, Karyl, with a puzzled expression, asked, "What are you wondering about?"

"Huh? They all ran away? I thought they were going to fight us to the death..."

Maya, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement with Karyl's words.

"That's right, I thought I'd still have a chance to play, but they all ran away."

Meanwhile, Javelin, standing to the side, spoke with a slightly trembling look in his eyes:

"Well, I think it's actually a good thing that they escaped. At least we don't have to keep fighting those giant spiders."

Karyl, oblivious to the slight tremor in Javelin's eyes, nodded and said:

"That's right, let's hurry and see if any of those who were taken away have survived!"

As she spoke, Karyl looked at Yuhka and said:

"Youyou, please find them."

Hearing Karyl's words, Yuhaka gave a thumbs up to indicate that there was no problem. Then, under Yuhaka's search, Yuhaka found the people who had been taken away. They were in a cave full of humanoid cocoons. Looking at the scene in front of them, Javelin and the others couldn't help but feel a chill down their spines, as if they were in a horror movie like Spider-Man.

Subsequently, through Yuhaka's perception, Yuhaka also discovered those who were still alive, but unfortunately, it seemed that only one or two people had survived.

With Yuhaka's help, the people trapped in the cocoons were also rescued. However, due to the giant spider's venom, they appeared to be under anesthesia. Yuhaka could sense that their lives were fading and they would soon die from organ failure.

Fortunately, Yuhaka had an antidote on him, which made it easy for him to remove the giant spider venom from those people. Soon, after Yuhaka gave the antidote to those people, they woke up quickly. The people who woke up were startled and suddenly sat up, which startled Javelin and the others who were standing nearby.

"Aaaaaah—! A giant spider?! Don't come any closer?! Huh???"

One of the awakened adventurers let out a scream and quickly got up, but when he saw Javelin and the others who were startled and Yuhaka with an "OwO" look on his face, he also looked puzzled, obviously not having recovered from the sudden attack by a large group of giant spiders.

Javelin looked at the awakened adventurers with a cautious expression and asked:

"Um, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Upon hearing the question about the javelin, the adventurers couldn't help but touch their bodies to see if any parts were missing. Seeing that they were unharmed, they breathed a sigh of relief and then turned to Yuhaka and the others, asking:

"Did you save us? Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, we might have become the giant spider's excrement."

Hearing the adventurers' words, Javelin quickly waved his hand and said:

"Don't be so polite. We're all adventurers, so helping each other is perfectly normal!"

Karyl, who was standing nearby, suddenly asked:

"Speaking of which, why were you suddenly attacked by giant spiders?"

Upon hearing Karyl's question, the adventurers quickly explained to Yuhaka and the others:

"Someone is controlling those giant spiders to attack us! Although we don't know who it is, there is definitely someone directing those giant spiders and the Spider Queen to attack us!"

Upon hearing the adventurers' words, Yuhaka and the others exchanged glances, clearly surprised that the adventurers had been attacked.

............................................................

In the subsequent handling, Yuhaka and her group took the surviving adventurers back to the nearest city, which was their destination. After arriving at the Adventurers' Guild, Yuhaka and her group told the Adventurers' Guild what had happened, and the rescued adventurers provided testimonies.

Upon hearing that someone was intentionally manipulating giant spiders to attack human caravans, the Adventurers' Guild took it very seriously. After all, if the caravans were attacked, it would affect road transport safety and severely impact their businesses.

This was something the city lord could not tolerate. After all, if caravans dared not come, it would affect the city's commerce and tax revenue. So the city lord commissioned the Adventurers' Guild to investigate and find out who was attacking the caravans.

If the adventurers can eliminate those troublemakers, the city's lord will reward them handsomely.

Yuhaka and his group also saw this mission request.

Volume 1 [Lazy Chapters]: Chapter 1461 [The Beginning of the Investigation]

On the Adventurers' Guild's quest bulletin board, Yuhaka and her group saw the quest requests that the guild staff had just posted. Looking at the content, Yuhaka and the others couldn't help but stroke their chins. Karyl, standing beside them, also spoke up after seeing the displayed information:

"The Adventurers' Guild is really quick on their feet. We barely reported those matters to them before they issued a quest request..."

Based on Karyl's experience, shouldn't things like this be discussed first and then investigated secretly?

Instead of conducting a secret investigation, the other party posted it so openly, as if they weren't worried about the other party discovering it. This made Karyl look puzzled. Were the high-ranking members of the adventurers' guild and the city lords all so carefree?

Karyl scratched her cat ears and looked at Yuhaka and the others, asking:

What are your thoughts on this matter?

Hearing Karyl's question, Yuhka and Javelin looked at Karyl with blank expressions, as if they didn't know what Karyl was asking. Seeing everyone's blank expressions, Karyl covered her face and sighed, saying:

"Hey you guys... don't you think this mission assignment came a bit too suddenly?"

Upon hearing Karyl's words, Javelin looked at Karyl with a puzzled expression and said:

"Huh? So suddenly? That seems really efficient!"

For ship girls like Javelin, their discussions on how to deal with the Sirens are very efficient; they can quickly formulate relevant plans, unlike the humans who drag their feet and ramble on. After all, ship girls generally don't have any conflicts of interest.

Seeing Javelin's matter-of-fact expression, Karyl couldn't help but be surprised that ship girls didn't seem to know how to scheme and plot. How did they manage to survive among ambitious humans? Of course, Karyl probably didn't know that the humans on Javelin's side were all very simple and honest.

Karyl rubbed her temples and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Alright... Rather than those, would you like to accept this mission?"

Upon hearing Karyl's question, Javelin and the others exchanged glances with Yuhaka before nodding in agreement to accept the mission.

"After all, if Yu-Yu-chan were to find this target, she would definitely find it very quickly! And with those unidentified enemies here, it would be a bit risky for us to make any mission requests, right?"

After hearing what Javelin and the others said, Karyl thought about it carefully. It was indeed as Javelin and the others said. If they didn't deal with those guys who attacked the convoy, what if they suddenly appeared and attacked them while they were on a mission? If something went wrong and the mission failed, wouldn't that be infuriating?
