Traveling through the game world

Drifting Cave, the ruins of the Spider Kingdom, is the starting point for players in the Drifting Cave dungeon in the game, and it is also the starting point for Lian Yang's adventure in Dark City.

The group of five, along with the tiny Holy Qilin of Light, stood at the entrance to the Spider Kingdom ruins. The bard Alice had already gone back; well, she simply couldn't bear Lian Yang's scorching gaze and her pounding heart, so she chose to return.

Taking a deep breath, Spider Prince Nicholas shouted, "Let's go! Let's end this farce from hundreds of years ago!" With that, Spider Prince Nicholas led the way into the dark, drifting cave.

Lian Yang and his three companions nodded to each other and calmly entered the dark drifting cave. For them, the battle was about to begin.

Upon entering the Spider Kingdom ruins, the Spider Prince Nicholas began to emit some strange hissing sounds, somewhat like bats, but still within the range that humans could tolerate.

Before long, the giant spiders that were originally scattered in twos and threes suddenly appeared endlessly in front of Lian Yang and the others. After a quick glance, they estimated that there were several thousand spider troops.

After a while, Spider Prince Nicholas finally stopped chirping and turned to Lian Yang, saying, "Look, these are my personal guards. Each one of them is very powerful. My father had about this many subordinates to balance the power between my sister and me."

Lian Yang was somewhat shocked, yet also somewhat expectant. In the game, Spider Prince Nicholas's personal guard consisted of only a handful of soldiers, which seemed unrealistic. However, the sight of a guard numbering in the thousands made Lian Yang wonder if the Spider Kingdom at its peak must have been incredibly powerful.

Because Nicholas was merely a prince, not an emperor, and the armies of major medieval European powers were roughly the same size. However, in the former Spider Kingdom, these were simply the prince's personal guards.

Of course, Lian Yang didn't want to say much. After all, it was a battle between siblings, and it was better for him, an outsider, to keep quiet. Seeing that the army had finished assembling, he simply nodded solemnly to the Spider Prince Nicholas.

Perhaps it was related to arthropods, or perhaps something else, but in any case, the large force of several thousand moved rapidly westward towards the ruins of the Spider Kingdom, almost without making a sound the entire way. This surprised Lian Yang and David.

Of course, the spider prince Nicholas's hiss not only summoned his troops, but also the spider princess Angelina in the far west, who also promptly summoned her personal guard after hearing the call to arms.

In the less than two years that Yang had been in Arad, he had encountered battles where he fought his way through hundreds or even thousands of enemies, but battles involving thousands of enemies still shook him to his core.

Whether they were the personal guards of Spider Prince Nicholas or Spider Princess Angelina, each spider warrior was on average the size of two adults. And there were tens of thousands of such units combined.

"Go for it! Blood Blade!" Since we're all here, let's not stand idly by. Lian Yang led the way and raised his hand to deliver a Blood Blade to the Spider Princess Angelina's personal guards.

The powerful blood energy mixed with sharp sword energy easily blasted the princess's guards in front of her to pieces, while the prince's guards behind her took the opportunity to swarm forward.

Lian Yang joined the battle with a flourish, and Baron, naturally not to be outdone, was one of only two swordsmen in the team. Baron often found himself competing with Lian Yang. [Love↑Go△Novel↓Net wqu] Despite the surging monster attacks around him, and with the powerful protection of his automatic potion-consuming function, Baron unleashed his Bloodthirsty Demon-Sealing Slash right in the middle of the crowd. A large number of monsters were firmly controlled by him, and then easily killed by the prince's guards who caught up.

Alice's situation was much simpler. She stood in the middle of her guards, and various cannonballs and laser beams were unleashed at them as if they were free, creating one vacuum zone after another.

As for Paladin Arthur, he was probably the most terrifying. Although he didn't directly participate in the battle, he constantly moved through the ranks of the prince's guards, casting a blessing of honor every time he moved a certain distance. Sensing this immense power, the prince's guards became even more frenzied in their slaughter of the princess's guards before them.

It must be said that although the guards were indeed powerful, the Lianyang quartet, armed to the teeth, was actually more terrifying. However, in a battlefield with thousands or tens of thousands of people, the Lianyang quartet could only ensure that each of them was an arrow leading the charge. The imagined scene of slaughtering thousands of people was not possible.

Even so, the two originally evenly matched forces began to suffer vastly different casualties. From being evenly matched at the beginning, they gradually fell behind, and then signs of defeat became apparent.

Behind them, Spider Prince Nicholas commanded with a cold, composed expression, while in front, the four-man Lianyang group, along with a Radiant Holy Kirin, led the charge. In a short time, the princess's guard was almost completely routed.

Victory seemed within reach, but Nicholas, the Spider Prince, commanding the army at the rear, was clearly unhappy. His brow was furrowed, his face cold, as if deep in thought. He numbly directed his troops, seemingly indifferent even to the impending victory.

The battle continued, but it was no longer filled with the shouts of killing as it had at the beginning. Instead, Lian Yang and his four companions, along with several thousand troops behind them, were exploring westward—well, exploring. Because the fighting had almost completely ceased.

Finally, at the westernmost part of the Spider Kingdom ruins in the drifting cave, a magnificent hall appeared before everyone, and a wild yet incredibly sexy woman appeared before Lian Yang and the others. Of course, it would be better if the eight huge spider claws on her back were ignored.

Unlike her brother's elegant and handsome demeanor, Angelina, the Spider Princess, despite having eight enormous spider claws resembling wings on her back, is still a rare beauty in terms of both physique and appearance. Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to consider her a Seraphim; the only difference is that angels have wings, while she has claws. Same thing.

The Spider Prince Nicholas, still silent, looked at his sister before him. Although it was hundreds of years later, it felt like only yesterday to him. He chuckled and recalled, "Wow, Angelina, you've grown so much! You're such a beauty. I seem to remember you running to play with me with a runny nose just yesterday."

Princess Angelina's expression stiffened at Prince Nicholas's opening remarks, and she snarled, "My brother died just as you were plotting to usurp my throne!"

Ignoring Angelina's roar, Prince Nicholas continued, "To be honest, I was really stupid. I've spoiled you and indulged you since you were little, but when I actually tried to fight for something with you, I ended up destroying everything."

"Then give up!" Spider Princess Angelina continued her frantic roar. "Let me rule this country, let the Spider Kingdom conquer the world. You've always spoiled me and indulged me, so give me the throne, and then you can kill yourself!"

Spider Princess Angelina was still roaring madly, seemingly greatly shocked by the deaths and escapes of her guards, or perhaps something else; in any case, she was no longer able to deal with anything rationally.

Looking intently at the Spider Princess Angelina, the Spider Prince Nicholas said calmly, "Our kingdom perished hundreds of years ago, because of our conflict."

"Hahahaha..." Spider Princess Angelina laughed maniacally, "Nicholas, are you crazy? Can't you see how powerful our country is now? Even the dwarves and dark elves in the distance are trying to befriend us. And you actually say that it has been extinct for hundreds of years?"

“I think I’m crazy too.” Shaking his head, Spider Prince Nicholas said helplessly, “But the truth is, I’m not crazy, and neither are you. The world has changed. Our country is now nothing but ruins.”

"Die!" Spider Princess Angelina finally couldn't take it anymore and raised her hand to unleash an energy blast, swiftly attacking Spider Prince Nicholas.

Seeing Spider Princess Angelina make her move, Spider Prince Nicholas waved his hand and said, "This is a battle between siblings, and I don't want you to interfere. You understand."
