Many children, many blessings: Taking classmates' grandmothers on a desert island survival miss

Meanwhile, the spider queen, whose leg had been wounded by Liu Wenying's arrow, had lost her mind in her rage and jumped down from the tree, baring her fangs and lunging at Liu Wenying.

Liu Wenying's eyes were icy cold; her S-level combat instincts allowed her to remain completely focused even in this critical moment.

Instead of retreating or dodging, she took a step forward to meet the onrushing spider queen.

Just as the Spider Queen landed and her forepaws were about to grab her, Liu Wenying suddenly slid low across the Spider Queen's abdomen. As she slid past her, she drew her dagger from her waist and, using the momentum of the slide, plunged the dagger upwards into the Spider Queen's most vulnerable lower abdomen, followed by a powerful slash!

"Sizzle—!"

The spider queen's abdomen was ripped open with a huge gash a meter long, from which green fluid gushed out.

The instant Liu Wenying slid out from under the spider queen's body, she braced herself with one hand, executed a graceful backflip, and landed firmly. The spider queen, her abdomen completely severed, twitched a few times on the ground before dying instantly.

In less than ten seconds.

Three extremely dangerous level 2 venomous spider queens, two dead and one injured!

The last remaining spider queen witnessed her two companions being brutally killed by these two seemingly weak humans. The fierce light in her eyes instantly turned into extreme fear.

Its eight legs thrashed about frantically, and it spat out a spider silk thread that stuck to a tree trunk in the distance, attempting to swing across and escape.

"Trying to run away?"

Jiang Che sneered, just as he was about to throw the machete in his hand like a dart.

"Whoosh!"

Another snapping sound from the bowstring.

Liu Wenying's arrow was faster than his.

The specially made metal arrow transformed into a streak of light, accurately striking the spider queen's silk-spinning gland in mid-air. The enormous impact directly carried its body, pinning it firmly to the trunk of a large tree!

The spider queen struggled frantically, but the arrow pierced deep into the wood, and she couldn't break free at all.

Jiang Che walked over slowly, swung his machete, and chopped off its head with one stroke.

The battle is over.

The two looked at each other and saw the shock and excitement in each other's eyes.

Their strength far exceeds their own imagination. On this deserted island, as long as they don't encounter those legendary epic monsters capable of moving mountains and filling seas, they already have the power to roam freely.

[Defeat 3 level 2 Poisonous Spider Queen monsters. Gain experience points.]

[Obtained: 3 Venomous Glands, 10 Resilient Spider Silk.]

Jiang Che stored the spoils on the ground into his dimensional space. These venom glands were perfect for replenishing the venom in his spike traps, while the tough spider silk was definitely a good material for making armor or traps.

Just as Jiang Che finished cleaning up the battlefield and was about to tell Liu Wenying to continue on her way...

Liu Wenying suddenly reached out and grabbed him, her eyes fixed on the back of the giant tree where the Spider Queen had been perched.

"Xiao Jiang, look what's that?"

Jiang Che followed her gaze around the giant tree.

In a hidden tree hollow behind the giant tree, a faint, alluring silver light emanated.

Jiang Che stepped forward and pushed aside the withered vines that were obscuring the view.

Deep inside the tree hollow, there lay a simple, ancient silver treasure chest with mysterious patterns carved on its surface.

Behind the treasure chest, on the stone wall, there was a large layer of rock that shimmered with a metallic luster in the dim light.

"It's a silver-level treasure chest!" Jiang Che's eyes lit up.

"Moreover, that rock face appears to be an open-pit iron ore vein!"

Liu Wenying also became excited.

This is absolutely a windfall!

However, just as Jiang Che was about to reach for the silver treasure chest.

"Boom—Rumble!"

The ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled violently without warning. Immediately afterward, a deep roar, ten times more terrifying than the three spider queens combined, echoed from the depths of the iron-rich ore vein.

The roar was mixed with a strong smell of sulfur, as if some enormous, slumbering, terrifying overlord had been awakened by the bloody smell of their battle!

"Boom—Rumble!"

The earth is shaking!

Centered on the hidden tree hollow, the ground within a hundred meters radius churned violently like waves. Soil flew everywhere, and thick, ancient trees were uprooted. An extremely strong, pungent smell of sulfur, mixed with intense heat, erupted from the depths of the earth, instantly engulfing the entire space.

"retreat!"

Jiang Che's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints. Without any hesitation, he grabbed Liu Wenying's wrist, pushed off with his feet, and sprinted backward for more than ten meters with her.

The two had just stopped when they saw the stone wall where the iron ore vein was located suddenly explode with a loud "bang"!

The flying debris shot out in all directions like cannonballs.

Immediately afterwards, a hideous head as big as a small car emerged from behind the broken stone wall!

It was an enormous mutated python! Its body was as thick as a water vat, and its entire body was covered with hard rock scales that looked like cooled dark red magma. Dark red flames flickered between the scales, radiating a suffocatingly high temperature.

Its vertical pupils, like two red lanterns, were fixed on Jiang Che and Liu Wenying. Its two-meter-long scarlet forked tongue flickered in the air, emitting a chilling hissing sound.

Above the giant python's head, a row of deep purple system text slowly appeared:

[Lava Python (Level 5 Boss Monster): A terrifying overlord that dwells year-round in underground mines. It possesses extremely high defense and can spew deadly lava fireballs. Survivors outside the current stage cannot defeat it; immediate escape is recommended!]

Level 5 boss monster!

The moment Jiang Che saw these words, his heart sank.

Although they seemed to have killed those three level 2 venomous spiders easily, it was based on Jiang Che's 150% maximum burst of power and Liu Wenying's S-level combat talent sneak attack.

The level 5 boss monster before him, with its body as thick as a water vat and covered in rocks, instilled a sense of despair. Jiang Che was certain that even if he were to dull the blade of his steel cleaver, he probably wouldn't be able to break through the monster's defenses!

"Roar—!"

The lava python let out a deafening roar, opened its blood-red maw, and a blinding red light immediately shone from deep within its throat.

"It's going to breathe fireballs! Run!"

Liu Wenying's S-level combat instincts went into overdrive, and the hairs on her body stood on end.

However, although Jiang Che was retreating, his eyes were fixed on the large iron-rich vein exposed beneath the giant python after the stone wall exploded, and the silver-grade treasure chest that was half buried by rubble!

They just left like that?

Leaving the treasure chests and iron ore untouched? That's definitely not Jiang Che's style! The Blood Moon Beast Tide is in three days, and without iron ore, his blacksmith's forge is just for show!

"Give it a shot!"
