Chapter 39: The Consciousness of the Pendant

Yang Xu slowed down his pace and leisurely hung about seven or eight meters behind the others.

When approaching the intersection, he turned left seemingly inadvertently and stepped on a tattered spider web on the side of the road.

This scattered white spider web was everywhere in the cave, seemingly unremarkable, but only Yang Xu knew that the spider web under his feet was directly connected to a mountain spider not far away. The main web where the spider monster lived was within its direct feeding range, and kicking it was tantamount to a direct provocation to the spider monster.

His action was a testament to his skill and courage. It was mainly due to the dodging training he received last night, which made him a little more confident. In addition, he had the time stop and the backup of a scapegoat, which made him dare to take some risks.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped down, Yang Xu immediately felt the aura of the mirror ghost over there become violent.

Yang Xu hurriedly took a few steps forward and came to the open area, ready to face the attack that might come at any time.

The murderous aura of the monster in the distance rose rapidly. Yang Xu suddenly felt something beside him, rushing towards him at an extremely fast speed. He immediately turned around and took a step to the side.

A white spider web passed by him, and behind the web was a spider silk as thick as a thin rope, extending into the grass in the distance, where the mountain spider was hiding.

The spider web came towards him, but missed, brushing past Yang Xu and quickly hovering in mid-air, apparently having reached its maximum reach. After a brief pause in mid-air, it was about to fly back.

Yang Xu was waiting for this opportunity and quickly grabbed the spider silk.

The next moment, a huge rebound force came, and Yang Xu was pulled by the spider silk and rushed to the corridor on the other side.

After passing a few clumps of weeds along the way, Yang Xu finally saw the so-called mountain spider.

It is a huge spider monster, about three meters tall, with red and black fur all over its body. Its eight spider legs strongly support its body, and the ends of its long legs are sharp like hooks.

Encounter a 3-star Mirror Ghost, Mountain Spider (LV21): A large, ferocious Mirror Ghost that haunts the mountains. It possesses the ability to conceal its presence and create various webs, immobilizing creatures trapped within them. It can also remotely spit out highly elastic webs to pull prey back to its side. Commonly found in caves and wild woodlands.

This mountain spider was clinging to the rock wall behind the passage, with its two front claws raised and wriggling in an interlaced manner, quickly retracting the spider web. The mouthparts on the spider's body were wide open, ready to eat.

Yang Xu did not let go immediately, but calmed himself down and waited until the spider web brought him to within five meters of the mountain spider. When the spider's two sharp front legs were within reach, he relaxed his mind and started time stop.

Everything is still.

Yang Xu rolled over as soon as he landed, and stopped just in front of the mountain spider. He quickly chopped three times with the hatchet in his hand, and then without stopping, he immediately pulled back and ran at full speed away from the mountain spider.

The next second, the time stop was lifted and time resumed flowing, and the exclamations of several people in the distance finally came.

Zijin and the other three at the back didn't know what was happening yet. They suddenly heard a sound of breaking air behind them. When they turned around, they saw Yang Xu and a group of spider webs disappearing into the rock wall on the other side at an extremely fast speed.

It wasn't the first time for these people to deal with mountain spiders, so they quickly realized what was happening.

"not good!"

"Be careful, the mountain spider is behind!"

Lanshan and Qingke shouted almost at the same time, raising their weapons as if facing a formidable enemy to guard against sneak attacks.

"It's over, he's dead!" Beiwang Xingchen shouted.

The one who was swept away happened to be the weakest newcomer among them, a Taoist boy with a fragile constitution. Three stars against one star, two levels of star suppression, four times the damage per hit. No matter how you think about it, the result is irreversible.

And he was just a little bud, there was no way he could have an altar, and he didn't even have a chance to be resurrected... Zijin blamed herself terribly. She had advised the newcomer to hide in the back out of kindness, but she really didn't expect that the mirror ghost would take the initiative to sneak attack from behind, leaving him at the end and harming him instead.

"and many more……"

Lan Shan was staring at the distance in surprise. He had initially thought the newcomer was dead, but now, hearing the voice over there, something wasn't right...

Before he could figure it out, the next second, a figure climbed over the grass and landed on the ground, running towards them. It was the Taoist boy who had just been swept away by the spider web.

Behind him, the mountain spider soon appeared, paddling with all eight legs, supporting its huge body to chase after him.

Several people couldn't believe their eyes.

Among the four, Lanshan reacted the fastest. He had already plucked the strings before Yang Xu appeared. A visible note floated out and landed on Yang Xu.

Yang Xu suddenly felt his legs lighten, his running speed increased dramatically, and he easily got rid of the spider monster.

"Ah... hurry up, come and support!" The other three people finally woke up from their dream, and Zijin shouted hurriedly.

Bei Wang Xingchen made a gun flower with the spear in his hand and held it horizontally. He and the spear turned into a fire dragon and rushed across the distance of more than ten meters in a second. The tip of the spear accurately pierced the mountain spider.

For a moment, flames exploded, and the mountain spider's body became extremely slow as if it was stuck in a quagmire.

Zijin and Qingke also rushed up from the left and right directions respectively, surrounding the mountain spider.

When passing by Yang Xu, Qingke asked with a strange look on his face, "How did you survive?"

"Its spider web didn't trap me, it only stuck to one of my arms, and I broke free halfway." Yang Xu gave the excuse he had thought of early in the morning.

After hearing this, several people suddenly understood, but they did not doubt anything. Only this situation could explain why he was not dead.

The four of them didn't ask any more questions and hurried into the battle.

Zijin, Beiwangxingchen and Qingke, three melee fighters, surrounded and attacked the mountain spider, locking its movement direction.

Lan Shan stepped back, his left arm cradling the zither, his right hand plucking the strings. Visible musical notes drifted from the zither, landing on the three people in front of him, ultimately transforming into a radiant light of life, replenishing the life lost to the mountain spiders.

Even Yang Xu, a newbie in the mirror world, figured out the trick after taking a few glances.

These four people are worthy of being a team. Three melee fighters besieged the mountain spider from three directions, and their skills were coordinated just right. Such a big spider monster was fooled around by the three of them, and it couldn't take care of the front and the back.

Lanshan, the healer in the rear, calmly delivered each healing note to the person who needed it most at the most opportune moment, without missing a single drop or wasting a single drop. To be able to do this amidst the ever-changing chaos of battle demonstrates exceptional teamwork.

"This is what we call cooperation!" Yang Xu was deeply moved by what he saw.

He couldn't help but recall the team he formed with Wuxi Moyu and Afei yesterday. At that time, he actually thought that the four of them cooperated very well. But now, compared with other people's real fixed teams, their cooperation was as rough as a fight between elementary school students on the playground.

Yang Xu casually threw a fireball at the periphery as a gesture, then quietly retreated to the rear.

Now that the task of collecting hidden fragments has been completed, he can now relax without any burden. Moreover, instead of going forward to cause trouble, he is more interested in the two remaining "jumping spiders" in the cave.

Since these two baby spiders have star levels, they should be considered independent mirror ghosts, so if he kills them, will it be counted as his kill count?
