Yang Ling could feel the turbulent water currents surging wildly behind him, a sense of pressure constantly bearing down on his back.

At this moment, he pushed his energy circulation to the limit, quickly arriving at the exit, leaping out of the water, and sprinting away at full speed.

The commotion behind him grew louder and louder.

He stole a glance back over his shoulder. It was a spider as big as a calf.

With its eight legs spread out, it appeared even more massive and terrifying.

Tyrant Ghost Spider

Level: ???

Strength: ???

Agility: ???

Special Skill: ???

The status panel was still filled entirely with question marks.

A slight chill ran through Yang Ling's heart, and he let out a sharp, piercing whistle.

The first entrance was being guarded by Wu Xiaochen along with Chen Xu and Li Tianye.

They were the most critical; they had to seal the passage in an extremely short time.

Hearing the signal, they saw Yang Ling flash past like a gust of wind.

Immediately after, they caught sight of the true visage of the Tyrant Ghost Spider.

"Hiss!"

All three of them sucked in a sharp breath in unison, their scalps tingling with fear.

What the hell was that thing? Could it be a demon!?

"Stay calm!"

Wu Xiaochen signaled to the other two with his eyes.

Both Chen Xu and Li Tianye were feeling somewhat tense.

Just as the Tyrant Ghost Spider charged past, they immediately entered the tunnel and yanked away the pre-prepared netting.

Rubble from above began to rain down furiously.

The three of them also used their own strength to rapidly fill the gap until the passageway was completely sealed off.

"That should do it, right?"

Chen Xu looked at the other two.

Li Tianye nodded slowly. "What happens next depends on Brother Yang now."

"Brother Yang prepared fire oil, so he should be able to handle it."

Wu Xiaochen added, "But that spider just now was seriously huge, it made my scalp crawl."

"Me too."

Chen Xu and Li Tianye echoed unconsciously.

……

Seeing the path behind him was sealed, Yang Ling immediately sped up, rushing towards the other opening.

Chen Guoqing and Wang Haodong had now clearly seen the form of the Tyrant Ghost Spider. The latter was so frightened his lips were trembling, somewhat regretting today's actions.

"Don't panic. Wait for Brother Yang to get through, then we'll block this opening!"

Chen Guoqing offered a word of reassurance while pulling out an ordinary wooden bow.

This was also something Yang Ling had brought back from Green Mountain City along with the fire oil.

They would need this wooden bow to ignite the fire later.

Right at that moment, the Tyrant Ghost Spider spewed silk strands again.

But the target wasn't Yang Ling; it was the exit.

Strand after strand of spider silk shot out, embedding themselves into the rock walls near the exit.

Yang Ling inwardly cursed. This was bad.

The structure of this area had already been deliberately weakened beforehand precisely for the purpose of sealing the path quickly!

Sure enough, the rock walls began to loosen, and the next moment, they collapsed with a thunderous crash.

The entire exit was sealed shut, tight as a drum!

"I haven't gotten out yet."

Yang Ling murmured in his heart.

At this point, the plan to use fire oil to kill the Tyrant Ghost Spider had completely failed.

Unless he also wanted to become a roasted human!

Outside the exit, Chen Guoqing and Wang Haodong looked at each other.

"What do we do!?"

Wang Haodong's face was pale.

Chen Guoqing raised a hand. "Don't panic. It should be fine. Brother Yang's methods are extraordinary; he can handle this kind of unexpected situation!"

"……"

……

Yang Ling suddenly darted to the side. Another strand of spider silk landed precisely where he had been standing, piercing deep into the ground.

A realization seemed to dawn on him. Could it be that this Tyrant Ghost Spider had done this on purpose? On the surface, it seemed like he was trying to defeat the boss, but in reality, the Tyrant Ghost Spider intended to kill him right here.

Seeing its attack miss, the Tyrant Ghost Spider tirelessly launched another assault on Yang Ling.

Strand after strand of spider silk, sharp and tough as steel wire.

Yang Ling could only employ the Ethereal Steps, relying on his high Agility and perception to continuously dodge.

"This can't go on. The Vajra Bright King Technique won't hold out for much longer."

"When I can no longer circulate energy, my Agility will drop to only 50 points. By then, I probably won't be able to dodge its attacks."

Yang Ling's mind raced.

With all his current bonuses, his Agility could reach a terrifying 80 points.

If not for that, he wouldn't have had the confidence to face the Tyrant Ghost Spider at all.

But this was, after all, external power.

His base Agility was only 20 points.

At this moment, the Tyrant Ghost Spider, seeing its silk strands were ineffective against its opponent, suddenly moved.

Its eight legs swung wildly as it charged straight at Yang Ling like a ferocious beast.

Its speed wasn't as fast as Yang Ling's, but it wasn't slow either.

Fortunately, Yang Ling still had the Ethereal Steps, making his movements exceptionally nimble.

While dodging and weaving, he drew his Official Saber and slashed fiercely at the Tyrant Ghost Spider.

Clang—

A shower of sparks erupted, and the Official Saber broke into two pieces.

"To hell with this!"

Yang Ling threw away the hilt and drew the Vermilion Gold Pickaxe.

Dodging another razor-sharp spider leg, he unleashed a barrage of attacks on the Tyrant Ghost Spider!

[Frenzied Ten-Strike Combo]

Clang clang clang!

Sparks flew wildly!

"No good! Its surface is too hard. My current weapon can't even pierce its defense!"

Yang Ling slipped away again, evading the Tyrant Ghost Spider's onslaught.

His brain was working at high speed.

If he couldn't think of a way to counter this, it wouldn't be long before he became the creature's meal.

"I worked so hard to achieve what I have today, finally gaining a bit of a foothold in the Divine Realm."

"I can't just die at the hands of this thing!"

Right then, the Tyrant Ghost Spider's speed suddenly skyrocketed!

As if it had activated some kind of skill.

Its speed instantly increased to a level surpassing Yang Ling's!

"Could this be its special skill!?"

Yang Ling's expression changed drastically.

He only had time to cross his arms in front of him in a defensive block before he was violently sent flying. With a thunderous crash, he smashed into the stone wall!

A piercing pain shot through Yang Ling's arms.

Simultaneously, he felt his internal organs churning, a nauseating sensation rising.

His back, his entire body—everything hurt!

Yang Ling glanced at his HP.

Out of his original 510 HP, only around 200 remained.

"One hit took half my life!"

Yang Ling's expression grew stern.

At that moment, the Tyrant Ghost Spider activated its skill again, charging towards him.

Suddenly, Yang Ling thought of something, his gaze falling on the Tyrant Ghost Spider's abdomen.

That area looked soft. If he could strike there, he might be able to injure it!

The Tyrant Ghost Spider suddenly leaped into the air, its eight spider legs poised like eight steel needles, aiming to impale Yang Ling!

This was an opportunity!

An idea flashed through Yang Ling's mind!

Without a second thought, he pushed his cultivation technique to the absolute limit, executing a small-scale evasive maneuver!

He dodged the eight spider legs, but he couldn't dodge the Tyrant Ghost Spider itself.

He saw the Tyrant Ghost Spider's eight legs sink deep into the stone wall.

Its abdomen was now face-to-face with Yang Ling, mere half a meter apart!

"Success or failure hinges on this moment."

Yang Ling became exceptionally calm, brandishing the Vermilion Gold Pickaxe, blood-red Vital Qi already enveloping it.

[Frenzied Ten-Strike Combo!]

His current Strength wasn't low either. The Vermilion Gold Pickaxe added 10 points of Strength.

The Vajra Bright King Technique added 30 points of Strength.

His Strength reached a massive 51 points!

Thud thud thud!

Holes were being gouged into the Tyrant Ghost Spider's abdomen!

Foul-smelling substances continuously sprayed out, splattering all over Yang Ling's face, but he had no time to feel disgusted now!

Like a tireless machine, he frantically executed [Frenzied Ten-Strike Combo]!

The Tyrant Ghost Spider finally sensed the danger, trying to pull its spider legs free, but its own strength was too great, and its legs were embedded too deeply.

For the moment, it couldn't break free in time!
