Chapter 1304 - Chapter 1304 Chapter 1304 The Lower Level

Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: The Lower Level Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: The Lower Level Losing the chance to advance to a race-level attribute was something Li Yao absolutely didn’t want to see. He had no idea how much time and effort it would take to complete such a true leader promotion again, and there was no guarantee he would reach it.

In the real world, it’s said that players cannot obtain attributes as powerful as NPCs, even if they rank the same and are of the same grade, the disparity in attributes is huge.

So, returning to the ancient gods, it means that new soldiers have the talent to grow quickly and evolve into strong people as well as the ability to resurrect. What would normally take decades, or even a century to achieve in terms of grades, new soldiers could reach in a very short time.

However, this method of growth also has its flaws; there exists an inherent deficiency. Even with the same rank and grade, the difference in attributes between leaders who slowly comprehend and grow is vast.

Moreover, several camps cannot change this reality, just like Li Yao. After becoming the true inheritor of the queen, the camp would try everything possible to compensate him if it were possible, but even the camp has no solution.

Li Yao hadn’t expected to acquire a proper leader promotion at this time; he had intended to slowly make up for it after reaching the sixth order.

Now that he accidentally became a leader with attributes not far off from an NPC, he was not willing to die just like that.

So, Li Yao didn’t act rashly, because he heard what the Spider Queen said, intending to throw him into the lower strata of the Cavern of a Thousand Spiders and many Toxins. That was a place even the Priestess feared, but as long as there was hope, he wouldn’t give up. Besides, his mission wasn’t complete yet; he didn’t even know the geographical location here. How could he go back empty-handed, and how could he have the face to leave behind the Star Bow?

Dozens of shadows surrounded Li Yao, pulling him away with chains. As Li Yao passed by the Priestess, he saw the greedy look in her eyes when she looked at him, which made him shiver.

He also felt fortunate; thank goodness for the Spider Queen’s orders, otherwise he feared tonight would have been dreadful. These Priestesses were too much–a bunch of them, each with who knew how many male consorts. He definitely didn’t want to become one of them.

“You’re quite handsome, and your strength has reached the race level–now that’s more like it. You better come back alive from the lower levels. I will come to fetch you in the morning; don’t disappoint me,” the Priestess said with a light laugh.

Li Yao’s face immediately turned pale. He was single and, although he didn’t mind getting involved with NPCs beyond a friendship–after all, it was just data, and in the ancient gods as in reality, a little relaxation was fine. In fact, many people in the ancient gods had their own virtual lovers.

But Li Yao definitely didn’t want anything to happen with the Priestess. Despite the Priestess’s unmatched Charm, Li Yao had no such thoughts in his mind.

Li Yao quickly walked away, sighing heavily in his heart, but his resolution was set–even if he had to give up this promotion, he could not betray himself; it was simply too…

After passing through many passages, Li Yao was brought to an underground city.

The city was bustling, and although the shadows had also covered Li Yao with a dark garment, making his figure blurred, they hadn’t given Li Yao a mask this time. He could see the situation of the city.

The city was vast. In the middle, Li Yao could see the central temple emanating a soft radiance, and a spider avatar casting its gentle glow illuminating the whole city.

Li Yao even saw many players moving about, which was a real surprise to him–he hadn’t expected there to be players here.

A group of shadows; anyone who saw them would automatically clear the way. Soon Li Yao was brought to the palace beside the temple, and only inside the palace did he realize there was a hidden, massive cavern.

Through the green light inside the cavern, Li Yao could see various spiders living there. Although these spiders were not considered monsters, Li Yao also saw the first batch of Witherbarks, high elves, who had been thrown in there, turning green, foaming at the mouth as they lay on the ground with colorful spiders crawling all over them, causing Li Yao to get goosebumps all over.

“Heh, you’re scared now? This is only the first layer; it’s nothing but enduring endless biting and the corrosion of Toxin. It won’t kill you. But you, you’re going to the lower levels; I doubt even your remains will be left by tomorrow,” one shadow remarked.

Another shadow sneered, “You think too highly of him. There’s no need to wait for tomorrow, I reckon he’ll be devoured within a quarter of an hour.”

Li Yao cleared his throat, “Excuse me, gentlemen, would you mind informing me about the specific situation in the lower level?”

“All will be clear once you go down.” The shadow opened a portal glowing with a dim light, and before Li Yao could continue asking, he was promptly kicked through.

Li Yao was sent flying out, and he realized there was nothing behind the Black Door–he was falling straight down.

“Damn it, you’ll pay for this.”

The only response to Li Yao were the closing portals behind him.

Thump…

Li Yao landed directly onto a spider web, where he was stuck fast.

His eyes turned blue, and only then could he see the cave’s interior clearly.

Looking down, Li Yao saw countless large and small spider eggs, many of which were already cracking, clearly hatching at a rapid pace.

Just then, an abrupt voice entered Li Yao’s ears, “How interesting. Even at a time like this, you still have the luxury to remain calm, unaware of your impending death. How pitiful.”

Li Yao’s expression changed, and he suddenly looked up to see a hazy figure of a woman sitting on a platform.

Her face was indistinct, but an air of nobility was unmistakable. She was a fallen elf, yet not wearing a Priest robe, instead clad in a gorgeous gown that accentuated her stunning figure.

At that moment, she was holding a goblet of wine, watching Li Yao with interest. Li Yao’s color drained; when he dispelled the Titan’s Eye, he couldn’t see the figure at all, but upon activating it again, the figure reappeared before his eyes.

“Oh? So you can see me. Impressive divine eyes. Now, I’m even more intrigued by you,” the woman sipped her crimson, fragrant wine before continuing, “Since you have some strength, I’ll let you in on the situation here. This is the lower level of the ‘Thousand Spiders, Myriad Toxins Nest.'”

Li Yao was ready to listen, but he spat blood in frustration, “I know this is the lower level.”

The woman smiled elegantly, “You don’t fully understand. To put it simply, this is where the temple and the goddess cultivate warriors and the God’s Guard. Look around; these endless spider eggs will hatch into various spiders. Guess what happens next.”

Li Yao’s expression darkened, “You mean this is the trial ground for the God’s Guard, damn it, which means, countless spiders will hatch and will have to fight each other until only one can become the God’s Guard.”

The woman showed a surprised expression, “Little guy, you’re quite knowledgeable. I’m growing more interested in you. Here’s how it goes: there are five caves, each housing millions of spider eggs. When only a million remain in each cave, they will be interconnected for another round of slaughter, eventually competing to birth a Spider King. Oh, and, I forgot to remind you, the trial began the moment you entered, and you’re still bound, also stuck by the Spider King’s web. Look, some of the little ones that have hatched are already noticing you.”

Li Yao immediately looked down. Indeed, some of the spider eggs had already cracked open, and numerous spiders were swiftly crawling in his direction, evidently considering him as their first prey.

“Damn it…”
