[Health Points 100% → 80%]

A searing pain shot through my leg, as if countless red-hot steel needles were darting wildly along my veins, burning every inch of my flesh.

But after the excruciating pain comes a slow, creeping stiffness and numbness.

"Tsk."

Cheng Yi glanced coldly at the monster that was rushing towards him at breakneck speed, then disappeared back into the shadows. The spiderweb, having lost its prey, collapsed.

The next moment, Cheng Yi emerged from the shadows and crashed onto the open ground in the distance with a "bang." The toxins had begun to seep into the nerves in his legs, making his legs somewhat unresponsive.

He didn't dare delay. His fingertips swiftly reached into his backpack, pulled out a glass bottle filled with a pale green paste, and took a sip. The paste was refreshing, like a dose of mint syrup, soothing yet not cloying, instantly suppressing the heat and pain in his body.

You have taken a dose of Kraftol.

Your health has been restored to full.

Your status: Poisoning has been cured.

The medicine took effect very quickly. As soon as Cheng Yi swallowed the elixir, he felt the burning sensation in his legs begin to subside, and the spreading numbness receded like a tide.

Cheng Yi pushed himself up and stood up, stretching his ankles.

In the distance, three Ete monsters had already rushed to the spot where he had fallen. Seeing their prey disappear, they became agitated, hissing and waving their spider legs. The silk glands on their lower abdomen bulged and sprayed spider silk everywhere, trying to find his trace.

Cheng Yi hid in the shadows not far away, watching them with a cold gaze.

To be ambushed as a wanderer is an utter disgrace.

Therefore, Cheng Yi's super intelligence reminded him to use his super power!

He slowly channeled his shadow power, his figure becoming increasingly blurred, silently adjusting his angle under the cover of the cave's shadows and spiderwebs.

An Ete monster was digging its head down, scratching the ground with its spider legs, still searching for his tracks.

Cheng Yi held his breath, gripped a willow-leaf throwing knife with his fingertips, concentrated his strength in his wrist, and took advantage of the moment when the knife raised its head and hissed, he suddenly threw the knife.

With a soft "plop," the throwing knife accurately struck its lower abdominal silk gland, and a dark green liquid gushed out instantly.

The monster let out a mournful screech, staggered back a few steps, and could no longer spit out spider silk. It could only wave its spider legs and struggle in vain.

Cheng Yi gave it no chance to catch its breath. In a flash, he appeared behind it, drew his Hundred-Forged Sword, and with a cold glint, precisely pierced the back of its neck. The monster's hissing stopped abruptly, and it fell heavily to the ground.

Aside from its cunning and poisonous net, this monster crumbles at the slightest touch!

You have defeated the Ete monster and gained 20 general experience points.

Seeing this, the other two Ete monsters immediately went berserk, howling as they pounced on Cheng Yi, spewing eerie green spider silk and venom in an attempt to trap him.

But how could Cheng Yi, who had already suffered a loss once, not be on guard?

Cheng Yi shifted his body to the side, easily dodging the oncoming spider silk and venom. He instantly appeared beside one of the Ete monsters, activating the Trickster's Hand instantly. An invisible force pressed down on its body, preventing it from moving an inch.

Cheng Yi raised his hand and threw another throwing knife, hitting its silk glands again. The Ete monster, now unable to resist, became docile. Cheng Yi took the opportunity to draw his sword and pierced its chest from behind.

Seeing its companions being killed one after another, the last Ete monster's murky eyes flashed with fear, and it turned to flee.

Seeing this, Cheng Yi gripped the last throwing knife. The continuous killing had already subtly altered his aura. A faint, chilling aura, like the cold moonlight, lingered around the throwing knife tightly held in Cheng Yi's hand.

At this moment, Cheng Yi's eyes were closed, and his Observation Haki was pushed to its limit.

A cold glint.

The monster's body suddenly went limp, and its originally sharp screech instantly broke, turning into a hissing sound.

Its hunched upper body leaned slightly forward, and a gaping hole appeared on its neck. Warm, dark green blood gushed out from the wound, flowing down its grayish-black skin and pooling on the ground.

On the rock face not far away, a willow-leaf throwing knife was firmly embedded, its blade gleaming with a cold silver light, with only half of the hilt protruding and still trembling slightly.

Your skill [Moon Goddess Flying Dagger] has been upgraded: lv1 -> lv2

Cheng Yi took a breath and turned to look into the depths of the cave.

The Phase Spider had already regained consciousness. Having lost its sight, it was completely disoriented and could only futilely blink back and forth in the narrow space. The blue teleportation aura was extremely unstable, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. The throwing knife that had hit its compound eye earlier had not only ruined its eyesight but also damaged its teleportation energy hub. At this moment, it was nothing more than a trapped beast fighting desperately.

Cheng Yi slowly stepped forward, and taking advantage of the moment when the Phase Spider was flashing, he drew his Hundred Forged Sword again, and with a cold light, it accurately pierced the softest part of its belly.

The Phase Spider's body trembled violently, its massive form convulsing a few times, but it could only let out a weak hiss. The blue aura that had surrounded it completely dissipated, and it collapsed heavily to the ground, lifeless. Azure fluid slowly seeped out from its wounds, mingling with the spider silk and blood on the ground.

Above the corpse, a bronze-colored treasure chest slowly emerged.

You have defeated 3 Ete monsters and gained 60 general experience points.

You have killed the Phase Spider and gained 50 Universal Experience.

[Dungeon clear requirements met, data being compiled]

Your assessment of this instance: A thrilling cave adventure.

You have gained an additional 300 Universal Experience points and 500 Disaster Coins based on the monsters you killed.

You have received a basic reward of 500 general experience points.

[You have received the following rewards for this dungeon run: 800 Universal Experience Points and 500 Disaster Coins]

Cheng Yi walked up to the bronze treasure chest and picked it up.

You have obtained one Phase Spider Elite Chest.

He didn't open it immediately, but casually put the treasure chest into his inventory, then turned and walked to the corpse of the Phase Spider. The materials from this Phase Spider were quite valuable; he had seen people on the online forum offering high prices for them, so naturally he wouldn't let it pass him by.

Cheng Yi took out a small dagger from his backpack, squatted down, and carefully began to dismember the body.

The sharp dagger sliced ​​through the hard spider shell, easily peeling it off completely; then the tip of the dagger precisely picked out the venom sac under its abdomen, which was filled with azure venom; finally, it cut off the tentacles that could activate teleportation, as well as a few strands of extremely tough phase spider silk—these materials would be very useful, whether sold to the forum users for Disaster Coins or used to forge equipment later.

After dismantling the materials, Cheng Yi stood up, dusted off his hands and bodily fluids, looked around the cave, and after confirming that nothing was left behind, chose to exit the instance.

The light and shadow before my eyes instantly distorted, the dampness and coldness of the cave and the smell of blood dissipated, replaced by the lingering aroma of barbecue and the slight coolness of the air conditioner in the room.

Cheng Yi sat back down in his gaming chair, looked at the experience points and disaster coins on the panel, and the materials in his backpack, and breathed a sigh of relief.
