Ding Shiyu’s expression was slightly shocked. She did not expect Wan Zhuoyun to reveal their plan so early.

Meanwhile, Lin Xiu stood rooted to the ground in a daze, digesting the information in the other party’s words.

A moment later, he slowly raised his head and revealed a cold smile.

“I see. It seems that my prediction was correct. Even my failure to Awaken was planned by you all,” Lin Xiu said slowly. The coldness in his words almost froze the entire cave.

Looking at the killing intent in the other party’s eyes, Wan Zhuoyun’s face stiffened and he subconsciously took a few steps back.

However, he quickly realized that his actions were inappropriate. In order to hide the fear in his heart, he immediately straightened his neck and said, “Heh… So what if we did it?!”

“Very good!” Lin Xiu narrowed his eyes and looked deeply at the two people not far away. Then, he turned around and walked out of the cave.

This adventure would expose the entire scene to the Academy leaders, so it was impossible to do it openly.

Instead of wasting time with the two of them, it was better to go out and farm monsters first to increase his strength.

With this thought in mind, Lin Xiu quickened his pace and flipped out of the damp and low cave.

The space outside the cave suddenly opened up.

The surrounding rock walls were very rough, as if they had been corroded by some kind of mucus.

The entire cave was seven to eight meters wide and five meters high. Although the light was a little dim, there were many luminous stones on the surrounding rock walls, which could provide some light.

The rocks hanging upside down were extremely sharp, and the entire environment gave people a feeling of danger and nervousness.

Lin Xiu also saw a lot of dark purple mucus on the ground. Occasionally, he could also find cat-eye-sized insect eggs from the holes in the wall.

“It seems that the monsters here are mostly mollusks or insects.”

After observing his surroundings for a while, Lin Xiu quickly came to a conclusion.

He gripped the Double-Edged Battle Axe tightly and walked out of the cave step by step.

In the quiet space, he heard a series of hurried footsteps coming from behind him. Clearly, the two people had also moved out.

Regarding how they would move next, Lin Xiu did not care at all.

In any case, the teams arranged by the school were distributed independently. Whether it was an elite monster or a normal monster, the experience and items could only be enjoyed by the killer.

The two of them could not get any benefits from him!

Lin Xiu had just come out of the wide karst when two different crossroads appeared in front of him.

However, at this moment, he was still thinking about how to guard against Ding Shiyu and Wan Zhuoyun’s methods. He did not discover the danger hidden in the dark immediately!

At the top of the cave at the fork in front of them, a black spider the size of a millstone was entrenched.

The moment Lin Xiu entered the fork, the huge spider launched an attack at the other party.

The white sticky spider silk instantly arrived and rapidly spread out in midair, almost completely enveloping Lin Xiu within.

By the time Lin Xiu realized that danger was approaching, the umbrella spider silk had already shot out to a distance of one meter.

If it were anyone else, it would be impossible for them to make any effective defenses in such a short period of time.

Although Lin Xiu’s reaction speed was average, because of the speed boost from the Boots of Hermes, before the spider silk smashed down, he immediately jumped back, his figure like a phantom instantly retreating a few meters.

The white sticky spider web missed its target and smashed into the ground, creating a thick smoke and sizzling sound.

Lin Xiu’s expression was slightly shocked. He did not expect that this spider silk actually carried corrosive venom!

[Ability evaluation: This Venomweb Spider is currently in a state of hunger. If you are not confident in dealing with it, it is best to run first.]

A series of System notifications sounded in his mind, and the Venomweb Spider’s attribute panel appeared in front of him.

Lin Xiu stared ahead with a cautious expression. He saw that the spider that was originally lying on the ceiling of the cave in a very good disguise had already come to the ground at this moment. That pair of red compound eyes were looking in Lin Xiu’s direction. Its eight spider legs involuntarily swayed, as if it was very excited.

“I didn’t expect the first monster I killed to be a spider. Since we’re fated, I won’t hesitate.”

Lin Xiu shook the axe in his hand, and after muttering to himself, he immediately took a step forward and rushed towards the spider.

His speed was very fast. Even in battle, he could easily reach a speed of five meters per second.

As he continued to approach the spider, Lin Xiu even took the time to add a Blessing of Strength to himself.

Golden light kept appearing on the blade of the axe in his hand, illuminating the dim environment around him.

[Hint: You have received the blessing of the God of Strength. Your physical attack power has increased by 25%, up to 60 points.]

Lin Xiu quickly crossed a distance of more than ten meters and already arrived in front of the Venomweb Spider.

The spider, which was the size of a millstone, immediately raised its sharp and slender front legs and fiercely stabbed toward Lin Xiu.

The spider’s speed was not slow, but Lin Xiu easily dodged it. The double-edged axe in his hand descended high, and then fiercely hacked onto the spider’s body.

Psss!

The sound of fresh blood spurting sounded out. The axe blade in Lin Xiu’s hand directly pierced through the spider fur, leaving behind a terrifying wound that was so deep that one could see the bones!

-64!

A red number representing damage immediately appeared above the spider’s head.

Even his health bar was immediately reduced by a portion!

Screeech!

The Venomweb Spider was in pain and immediately let out a sharp cry. Its body kept trembling, and its two spider legs were almost cut off by Lin Xiu’s axe.

Fresh blood kept spurting out of his wounds, and he looked extremely miserable.

Even Lin Xiu himself did not expect that he could actually deal such high damage to the spider at once.

However, after he succeeded, he did not just stand there in a daze. Instead, he relied on his extremely high speed to retreat a few meters.

After ensuring his temporary safety, he immediately opened the battle log. Only then did he realize that the previous axe had actually triggered the Archer’s passive skill, Cold Arrow.

The level 2 passive skill, Cold Arrow, provided him with 1.6 times the critical damage. Coupled with the high base damage of the Warrior’s active skill, Leap Strike, after stacking the two skills, he only managed to deal more than 60 terrifying damage.
