Outer Gods invade, stuff them all into your equipment inventory.

"What a pity... The vast wetlands are where the Twilight Spirits roam. I need to find the vast wetlands first."

Sean sighed.

Given his terrible sense of direction, finding the vast wetlands would be difficult even with the help of a mechanical blade demon to navigate.

I'd better not go and cause any trouble.

"These large maps are just too unfriendly to someone like me..."

Sean particularly missed the small, simple monster lairs he had experienced before.

Just keep moving forward without overthinking.

"Speaking of which, the Kurast Jungle is a permanent monster lair that anyone can enter."

Theoretically speaking, this should be a popular area frequented by adventurers.

As Sean walked through the forest, he tried to recall the limited information about the monster's lair in his mind.

"I wonder if anyone else is doing missions here right now..."

He muttered to himself, his gaze habitually sweeping across the surrounding bushes, looking for any possible traces of the brave warrior's activity.

However, he wasn't very confident about this.

Although the Kurast Jungle is a permanent monster lair, its location is too awkward.

Very few adventurers venture to the outermost area of ​​the Thirteenth Gathering Ground's territory.

Starting from the thirteenth settlement, even traveling at full speed, it would take nearly half a year to reach this place.

For ordinary brave warriors, the journey to and from the destination alone is enough to deter most people.

With that time and energy, you might as well find a few monster lairs that are closer and more convenient to farm near the settlement.

On the other hand, the third settlement is theoretically closer to the Kurast Jungle.

However, because there are more than a dozen high-risk maps in between, and because of the long distance and difficulty in resupply, few brave people would choose to come from that direction.

Over time, the Kurast jungle became a forgotten corner—

A rarely visited monster lair that is theoretically accessible to everyone, but in reality, very few people venture into it.

"In other words, there's a high probability that I'm the only one here."

He still regrets this.

After all, as someone who has no sense of direction, he's really having a headache right now.

"I can't possibly stay lost here for over a decade, can I?"

should……

impossible?

Sean felt a chill run down his spine and quickly shut his mouth.

He didn't want his words to come true.

Soon, the other scouts returned one after another, bringing him back a large number of monster corpses.

The vast majority were giant spiders, along with some small spider corpses, and a few Blade Demons even brought him some spider cocoons.

"It's definitely the Spider Forest."

"There should also be other monsters here, such as the Thornwood Demon, the Baboon Demon, and the Jungle Ghost Child."

"I just don't know why, I haven't run into you yet..."

Through a mental connection with these Blade Demons, Sean learned about the general terrain around him.

"It seems to be on the edge of the forest, where the density of monsters is not high."

From the memories of the Blade Demon, Sean discovered the entrance to a cave.

"That should be the entrance to the spider cave."

However, Sean didn't intend to waste his time going in.

His target this time is the Soul of Twilight.

There was no Twilight Spirit in the Spider Cave, so there was no need for him to deliberately invite trouble.

Even just from the game visuals, Sean knew what the Spider Cave looked like.

It was dark, damp, and cramped, with layers upon layers of spider webs and swarms of spiders swarming in from every corner.

He had no desire to experience that "classic game level" in real life.

Even those spiders can provide a lot of experience points.

"Oh, right..."

Sean suddenly stopped, as if he had remembered something.

His gaze narrowed slightly as he locked onto an ordinary mechanical blade demon beside him.

With a thought, he severed his soul connection with the mechanical blade demon without hesitation.

The once lively mechanical blade demon, the moment the soul connection was severed, its body fell apart like a puppet with its strings cut, right before his eyes, piece by piece, from head to toe.

One summoning slot has become available.

Sean turned and walked toward the giant spider corpses that the Blade Demons had brought back.

He crouched down and selected the largest spider carcass with the most intact exoskeleton.

The Blade Demon Resurrection spell was activated with the corpse as the body exploded, and a brand new summoned creature rose up.

This is a hybrid of a spider and a razor demon.

Like other Blade Demons, its upper body is wielded with a longsword and clad in knight's armor.

However, the lower body completely retains the form of a spider.

From the waist down, eight long and powerful spider legs extend out.

The eight legs were covered with hard carapaces, and sharp barbs grew from the joints.

Its toes are sharp and long like spears, piercing deeply into the soil beneath the ground.

Two distinct biological characteristics have merged into a bizarre and harmonious new form in it.

"A very interesting unit..."

Sean discovered that this Spider Blade Demon also belonged to the Knight class and possessed the Knight class's legacy.

However, compared to ordinary knights, it has achieved true man-spider fusion.

Ordinary knights and blade demons may have mounts, but the knight and the mount are ultimately two separate entities.

But the Spider Blade Demon is different.

Its upper and lower body are the same living organism.

This is a truly perfect fusion.

Especially in the complex jungle environment of the Kurast jungle,

The structural advantages of this spider-like blade demon will be amplified to the extreme.

"This is quite an unexpected bonus."

Sean examined the spider-like blade demon, becoming more and more satisfied with it.

Since he was already in the wrong place, Sean simply unsummoned all the mechanical blade demons except for those that were used to raise venomous insects, and then used all the summoning slots to summon spider blade demons.

Spider-blade demons with eight spider legs filled the open space around Sean.

They stood quietly, their eight legs firmly planted in the soil, the weapons in their hands reflecting the light and shadow, awaiting commands from their master.

Sean's gaze slowly swept over the brand-new legion, and he was quite satisfied.

To his even greater surprise, all Spider Blade Demons were set to the Knight class panel by default.

Compared to other professions, the Knight profession is undoubtedly much more powerful.

A spider monster corpse that can reliably provide knight class materials is obviously a very high-quality corpse material.

"From this moment forward, you will be the finest hunters in the Kurast jungle."

He said softly,

"Get moving and let me see how much trouble you can cause in this jungle."

At his command, dozens of spider-blade demons moved simultaneously.

The eight legs moved forward alternately, without making any disorderly sound.

There was only a uniform, low rustling sound.

Their figures quickly disappeared into the dense jungle.
