There was nothing but silence in the spider's cave.
Lola looked at Ma Wen in shock. "Why did you pinch my face?"
Ma Wen turned around and ignored her. He simply stared at where the red spider left.
"She retreated for now," Old Tuck said solemnly.
Old Tuck said solemnly, "As I said earlier, this female spider is very cunning. I tried to kill her several times, but it was impossible for me to do it on my own."
"You can if you count me in," Ma Wen said confidently.
Old Tuck looked at Ma Wen in surprise. He hesitated for a moment and eventually nodded.
He could sense that Ma Wen had combat ability that did not match his level.
The next second, the agile halfling began to run into the depths of the cave!
"Remember to follow closely!"
Marvin pulled Lola to her feet and followed them.
He knew that Old Tuck was tracking the enemy with the traces left by the red spider.
This was a very rare skill.
Only the advanced class of Rogues, [Tracker], had such a talent.
Marvin's Night Tracking required him to obtain something related to the target before he could use those clues to continue his night tracking. However, the red spider did not leave anything except for the fire it spewed.
Such a tracking could only be done with a decent Tracker like Old Tuck!
Old Tuck led the way, and Ma Wen followed him. Lola grabbed the halfling in panic and said in a low voice, "You have to protect me!"
The halfling blushed. He rarely had any contact with girls, not to mention that Lola was such a beautiful girl.
He gripped the dagger in his hand tightly and nodded his head vigorously.
Lola smiled in satisfaction and suddenly pushed the halfling. "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"
"What if we lose them?"
"Ah, it's all your fault. I can't even see Ma Wen and the rest of them!"
…
Deep inside the cave, Old Tuck slowed down warily.
The red spider had a unique way of walking, which he had studied for a long time.
The unique way of walking would allow her to leave unique traces. That was exactly how Old Tuck tracked them.
Ma Wen, who was following behind him, also gripped his sabers tightly.
Although he mostly worked alone, he had played with high-leveled teammates before. Between experts, there was no need for words. A simple action was enough to determine what the other party wanted to convey.
It's nearby.
The caves here became even more complicated.
The main path was still a deep underground cave, but holes began to appear above it. On the left and right sides of the cave, a large number of scattered white bones could be seen.
These bones were the remains of adventurers.
The discovery of the remains of the adventurers meant that Gem Bay was not far away.
This was because these adventurers had entered the Spider Crypt from the entrance of Gem Bay.
Most adventurers wouldn't be able to go far before they became food for the red spiders or black spiders.
"Up there." Old Tuck made a gesture without a sound. He pointed to one of the caves above and said.
Ma Wen nodded.
Then, he leaned to the side and activated Hide. Old Tuck also successfully entered stealth mode.
[Summon Crow]!
[Shadow Doppelganger]!
In an instant, Ma Wen used both skills. The Shadow Doppelganger also activated Hide.
The crow, on the other hand, flew up to the cave like a wisp of smoke.
After summoning the Dark Crow, Marvin's vision was completely different.
He could switch back and forth between his vision and the Crow's vision.
The Crow also had Night Vision, so it could see everything clearly in the pitch-black tunnel.
Some red spots gradually appeared in the cave.
Ma Wen knew that these were the traces left behind by the red spiders spitting poisonous flames over a long period of time. Every spot contained intense fire poison.
Once infected by the fire poison of the red spiders, a normal person would die instantly!
This was the scary thing about the female spider. Compared to the red spiders, the other black spiders were much milder.
"The red spiders can spit poisonous flames three times a day. I've already used it once. If I want to kill her, I'll have to trick her twice more!
The most important thing now is to lure her out of her lair! "
With an idea in mind, Ma Wen controlled the Crow to pounce at the red spiders.
The commotion was so loud that the red spiders, who were lying on the ground, noticed it immediately!
She pounced at Kieran with her claws and fangs bared.
She had wandered in the long and dark underground cave for a long time and possessed wisdom that surpassed that of monsters, but she was still very unfamiliar with creatures like crows.
She had never seen such a thing before, which piqued her curiosity.
However, the Crow's flight was very tricky. It descended and fled to the tunnel below as if it were running for its life.
The red spiders immediately climbed down.
…
Here's my chance!
Ma Wen stayed still in the dark. He could not see Old Tuck, but he knew that the old man was a Rogue. He would not make a move unless it was a fatal move.
The key was to rely on himself.
It was not easy for Old Tuck to find the red spiders' cave for him. In fact, this was the main function of a Rogue in a team.
A Rogue's frontal combat ability was very weak. Not to mention Old Tuck's advanced Tracer, even the stronger Phantom Assassins could only use one or two bursts of power. After that, they would either die or be killed.
After all, the red spiders were tricky to deal with for three reasons. First, they were intelligent. Second, they could spit venomous fire. Third, they were elusive.
Ma Wen was already satisfied that Old Tuck could solve the third problem for him.
The Crow flapped its wings and flew out. Then, a huge spider crawled down with exaggerated steps.
The red spider, Elizabeth, was an extreme mutation of the black spiders. Like other black spiders, she could not spin silk and mainly relied on crawling.
Ma Wen intentionally asked the Crow to slow down. But the red spider grabbed it and sent it into its mouth!
In the next second, a figure suddenly burst forth and pounced right at the front of the red tarantula!
The red spider suddenly opened its mouth, and a terrifying stream of flames shot out in an instant, directly hitting the figure.
Puff, puff …
The figure turned into a shadow and dissipated on the ground.
Shadow clones were meant to be delivered!
Ma Wen had made up his mind a long time ago. His attack was not bad, and he did not lack Shadow Clones. The most important thing about this skill was that he could use a substitute to protect himself.
I've tricked him a second time.
Ma Wen counted in his heart.
However, at this moment, the red spider seemed to have sensed something. She suddenly retracted her feet, as if she was about to retreat into her cave!
"I can't let her escape!"
Ma Wen gritted his teeth and was about to take action, when a figure suddenly appeared on the ceiling!
Old Tuck!
Ma Wen watched in astonishment as the halfling jumped down from the ceiling of the tunnel. Just now, the halfling seemed to be walking upside down on the tunnel.
It was such a rare move that Ma Wen had only seen from vampires!
Old Tuck was much more agile than Ma Wen!
He landed lightly on Red Tarantula's body and stabbed his two dark green daggers into Red Tarantula's head!
Sizzle!
An unpleasant scream was heard. The red spider's legs went soft, and she fell from the sky and crashed on the ground.
The cautious Old Tuck, on the other hand, flipped over and slipped away from the Red Spider's back. Then, with another Vanish skill, he disappeared from Marvin's sight!
"No wonder this guy has lived for so long. He's so careful.
"The daggers are coated with poison, but … the red spider's poison resistance and HP are both very high.
"This pair of daggers can't kill her!"
Ma Wen looked at the red spider, who struggled on the ground for a while and tried to climb up again. He took a deep breath and suddenly stopped hiding!
A dart accurately hit the red spider's head!
The red spider flew into a rage and spat out a mouthful of poisonous fire.
"Sh * t!" Old Tuck, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked.
He did not expect Ma Wen to be so reckless!
However, in the next second, Ma Wen's body suddenly moved to the right!
Burst!
Shadow Cut!
Then … he leaped onto roofs and vaulted over walls!
The terrifying poisonous flame brushed past Marvin's ear. He walked diagonally across the tunnel for a while, steadily dodging the Red Tarantula's attack.
Hiss! Hiss!
The red spider bared its fangs and brandished its claws.
Ma Wen stepped on the hard tunnel floor and quickly descended. He swung his double sabers consecutively! Clang!
Clang! Clang!
The red spider resisted with its front limbs!
Ma Wen's strength was average, but the frequency of his attacks was too fast.
In four breaths, he had slashed more than 20 times!
The 21st slash!
A small mark was left on the red spider's front limbs!
The 22nd slash!
The red spider's left front limb was cut off, and she lost her balance.
The powerful attribute bonus of the double saber ronin was brought into full play. Ma Wen's consecutive saber skills dealt terrifying damage and chopped the red spider's front limbs into pieces!
"Ha!"
In the end, Ma Wen jumped high. Without the protection of her front limbs, the red spider could only try to stab Ma Wen with her mouth in vain.
However, Ma Wen dodged it easily and jumped onto the red spider's back.
He turned around and crossed his sabers. With the bonus of the double saber ronin's strength attribute, he cut with a backhand!
The red spider's head fell to the ground!
Puff! Puff! The red spider took a few steps back and finally fell to the ground with a thud.
Ma Wen walked down from her body in satisfaction.
Old Tuck also walked out of stealth with a surprised look on his face. "Even a drow warrior doesn't have such exquisite saber skills like yours!"
Before he finished, a small figure suddenly appeared from the back of the tunnel.
Little Tuck!
"Oh no!" Little Tuck said anxiously. "That big sister was caught by a black spider!"
Lola!
Ma Wen's mind went blank. He almost forgot about a black spider!
"Where is she?" he asked while grabbing Little Tuck.
"She was caught and taken to the cave above." The little halfling's face turned red and he stomped his feet in anger. "It's all my fault. I didn't protect her well."
Ma Wen quickly ran back. In an instant, he activated [Night Tracking]!
He had Lola's things on him. He should be able to track her!
"I have to catch up!"
For the first time, Ma Wen felt anxious!
