Traveling through the game world

Although Lasodia is enormous, its combat power is not particularly high. However, it is quite strange that it appeared in the ruins of the Spider Kingdom, which has been under the jurisdiction of Dark City for a long time.

After rescuing Biora, Lian Yang said with a hint of sarcasm, "I remember this monster is called Rasodia, it doesn't seem like it should be here."

"Hmph!" Piola didn't reply, but snorted coldly and launched a fierce attack on the huge Rasodia in front of her.

Speaking of which, people often talk about Cheng Yaojin's three-strike technique; Rasodia's moves are essentially the same: he fiercely smashes his target with his massive wooden club, then leaps high into the air and lands heavily for a jumping attack. Finally, he stuns his enemy with a deafening roar.

Each of these moves was powerful and incredibly sharp; however, Rasodia only had these three moves. After two rounds, even Piora could easily outmaneuver the enormous Rasodia.

Of course, Lian Yang was definitely just going through the motions. If it weren't for the fact that it would make things easier for him to adventure in Dark City later, Lian Yang would have killed Piola long ago because of his arrogant attitude.

Even though he was all talk and no action, the incredibly strong but stupid Lasodia still fell to Lian Yang's sword. There was no way around it; the difference in strength was too great, and it wasn't so easy for him to hold back.

After defeating Rasodia, Piora, with an extremely solemn expression, said sternly, "...Adventurers, I must go ahead and report. Please don't wander around aimlessly any longer; you must return directly to Dark City!" Without waiting for a reply from Lian Yang and the others, she activated her skill and vanished at lightning speed.

Feeling that Piola had gone far away, Baron breathed a sigh of relief and lay down on the ground, saying, "Finally gone! I had to pretend to be mute, I was so frustrated!"

Arthur chuckled as he fiddled with the Doomsday Scythe: "Who told us the situation in Dark City to be so complicated right now? If we make too obvious a move, we'll be targeted. What's the point of taking any risks?"

"But these dark elves aren't even as good as the Revolutionary Army," Alice remarked. "That dark elf with the dark skin just now, her strength wasn't much, and her arrogance was more impressive than Hyde's."

Before embarking on their adventure in the drifting cave, Lian Yang had already given everyone a brief overview of what had happened and what was about to happen, and everyone was already aware of the dark elves' suspicious and arrogant nature.

To avoid further unnecessary trouble, the four decided to let Lian Yang speak only if it wasn't absolutely necessary. There's a saying that the more you say, the more mistakes you make; they were just trying to help the dark elves solve their problem, but if their slight precognitive abilities led to misunderstandings, the four would be dumbfounded.

After resting for a moment, Lian Yang said softly, "Let's go. We'll head east. Judging from the current situation, the Spider Kingdom's timeline probably overlaps with ours now. Let's go check on how badly the Spider Prince Nicholas has been corrupted by the Black Nightmare."

The Spider Kingdom was an ancient kingdom near Dark City. After the death of the last emperor, Babu, his son and daughter fought a bloody civil war for the throne, which directly led to the kingdom's demise.

Under the influence of the Destruction Era, it is evident that the Spider Kingdom ruins in the drifting cave have reverted to the time of the civil war between Spider Prince Nicholas and Spider Princess Angelina.

In the game, players need to choose whether to support Spider Prince Nicholas or Spider Princess Angelina. However, Lian Yang really disliked the Spider Princess Angelina, who resembled a giant spider in the game, so the gentlemanly Spider Prince Nicholas became his first choice.

The group of four continued eastward, encountering monsters along the way that were not limited to spiders. They killed several of the powerful Rasodia and the others, and even some floating vengeful spirits that had been groaning in pain for hundreds of years.

The saying goes, "You have to be good at what you're good at." While physical professions like Lian Yang could certainly defeat vengeful spirits, it would be quite time-consuming. However, Paladin Arthur could easily send these groaning, tormented souls to the afterlife with just a few beams of holy light. This made Lian Yang wonder if the rituals performed by Taoist priests, monks, and cultivators on Earth, often just to swindle money, were truly effective.

After overcoming numerous obstacles, at the easternmost end of the drifting cave, a handsome young man floated in mid-air, looking at the four-person group and said calmly, "If you don't want to be trapped in a spider web and turn into a dried corpse, I suggest you go back immediately."

"Uh!" With that familiar opening line, Lian Yang couldn't help but marvel at how easy the Spider Prince was to talk to. He shook his head and said, "Actually, I came here specifically to find you."

The Spider Prince Nicholas was clearly bewildered. He, Nicholas, was no saint; in the human realm, he was synonymous with evil. Why would anyone specifically seek him out? He snapped in disbelief, "Do you know where you are? And you've come all this way to find me? Don't you want to live?!"

He waved his hand and said, "It's not that I don't know where this place is, it's that you don't know."

"This is the Spider Kingdom, my homeland! How could I not know!" Spider Prince Nicholas said with absolute certainty.

"Hehe..." Lian Yang chuckled and said casually, "You really don't know, this place is now called the ruins of the Spider Kingdom."

"How dare you!" Before Lian Yang could finish speaking, Spider Prince Nicholas angrily interrupted, "Although my father has just passed away, and the kingdom is in turmoil because of my sister and me, our Spider Kingdom is still a powerful nation!"

"So!" Lian Yang continued calmly, "This place is several hundred years in the future."

"You bastard who's spouting nonsense! You can die now!" Spider Prince Nicholas felt that Lian Yang was toying with him, and that he was talking incoherently.

Spider Prince Nicholas raised his hand and unleashed a Dark Soul Wave, a sharp attack aimed at Lian Yang.

"Bang!" Lian Yang casually shattered Spider Prince Nicholas's skills with a sword strike, and said helplessly, "I knew you wouldn't believe me, but do you think I would need to play tricks on you with my strength?"

An expert's skill is immediately apparent. Although it was only a brief exchange, Spider Prince Nicholas was certain that Lian Yang's strength was no less than his own.

After softening his expression, Spider Prince Nicholas coldly said, "You are very strong, and your friends behind you must be quite powerful as well. But what do you mean, 'this is hundreds of years in the future'? That's unbelievable!"

Indeed, strength gives you a voice, and that applies everywhere. Even in a simple exchange, Spider Prince Nicholas has begun to reconsider Lian Yang's words.

Seizing the opportunity, Lian Yang continued, "The history of the Spider Kingdom in the book says that after the death of the great Emperor Babu, the Spider Prince Nicholas and the Spider Princess Angelina fought a fierce civil war for the throne, which directly led to the destruction of the Spider Kingdom."

Seeing that the Spider Prince Nicholas was deep in thought, Lian Yang continued, "Of course, I'm a human adventurer. The history of the Spider Kingdom is mainly known in Dark City. I only know that several hundred years have passed since the Spider Kingdom's destruction. If you don't believe me, you can come with us to the surface world and see for yourself."

"The surface world?" Spider Prince Nicholas asked in confusion, "Isn't Dark City also an underground world? When did it become the surface world?" Clearly, having just been resurrected, Spider Prince Nicholas had almost no information reception from the outside world.

Arthur, who had been silent, spoke, his face filled with sorrow: "The continent of Arad suffered a terrible disaster. A horrific black nightmare swept across the entire continent, and the survivors named it the Age of Destruction. Under the influence of the Age of Destruction, the capital of the Dark Elf Kingdom, Dark City, which was originally buried deep underground, emerged from the ground, and the caves surrounding Dark City also rose to the surface and floated around Dark City."

Lian Yang picked up where he left off and continued, "And the place we are in now is one of the drifting caves near Dark City, which the Dark Elves have named the Spider Kingdom Ruins."

Seeing how logically and confidently Lian Yang and the others spoke, Spider Prince Nicholas couldn't help but become suspicious. He carefully considered Lian Yang's words, remaining silent.

Seeing the expression on Spider Prince Nicholas's face, Lian Yang knew there was hope, and continued, "Besides, Nicholas, you probably know the strength of the four of us. Actually, we were just here to explore, and we're also very curious about you from hundreds of years ago."
