Chapter One
Mu Yun Shen, Qian Sheng Li, Yue Zhong Mian – one after another, they pounced to attack. Each was breaking out in a cold sweat, their mice feeling slippery in their hands. But there was no time to wipe their palms. They could only stare, afraid to be even slightly careless.

The situation stabilized again. None of the four, afraid to be distracted, had time to savor what had just happened. The Spider Lord's health continued to drop under their continuous attacks. From one-third to one-quarter, to one-fifth…

"It's about to go into red health. Everyone, be careful," Ye Xiu warned.

"What happens when it goes into red health?" Tian Qi asked. Hidden Bosses inevitably had an enraged state when they hit red health. He had read the guides. After the Spider Lord's health turned red, it would enter a super armor state, where it couldn't be stunned.

"Force kill!" Ye Xiu said.

Hearing these two words, the four weren't nervous, but excited. They had been maintaining one set of actions for too long. They were willing to die just to switch to a different set of actions for a change.

"It's red!" Tian Qi shouted.

"Mu Yun Shen, step on a small spider," Ye Xiu called out.

"Huh?" Mu Yun Shen was thoroughly confused by this instruction, but while puzzled, he instinctively greeted a small spider pouncing towards him. It looked like it was specially prepared for him.

The little spider bit Mu Yun Shen, instantly immobilizing him. The Spider Lord twisted its body, opening its disgusting mouth to bite him as well, scaring Mu Yun Shen into screaming.

But…

But nothing happened.

The little spider locked Mu Yun Shen in a three-second imprisonment, but he was also invincible during this time. Even the Spider Lord couldn't hurt him in the slightest. Ye Xiu was using this to buy everyone three seconds to attack the Spider Lord.

The Spider Lord continued to spew webs and lay eggs like crazy. Ye Xiu continued to focus on clearing the newly spawned small spiders, carefully observing their movements and avoiding the ones biting Mu Yun Shen. Mu Yun Shen also seemed to understand, actively seeking out small spiders to be bitten. Though they weren't experts, they were experienced players and understood the tactical intent of this step.

Because the four had been focusing on killing the Spider Lord, they had built up a lot of aggro. Mu Yun Shen had the highest attack power among the four, so he had the most aggro. Ye Xiu's command was using this to allow the small spiders spawned by the Spider Lord, originally meant to disrupt the players' coordination, to become the safest shield.

This tactic couldn't be used in the early and mid-stages because only at the end would Mu Yun Shen's accumulated aggro be stable enough. Moreover, the Spider Lord only reached its limit of reproduction at this stage, spawning enough small spiders. Mu Yun Shen was bitten by them in a line, remaining invincible throughout.

The little spiders did a bit of damage when they bit, but not much. Lord Grim would also find opportunities to give him a heal every now and then, so there was no problem at all.

The Spider Lord spat webs and sprayed poison, using every usable organ in its body, but nothing worked. However, in this continuous attack, someone's aggro finally exceeded Mu Yun Shen's.

The Spider Lord switched its attack target, but the next in aggro, Yue Zhong Mian, had already learned from Mu Yun Shen, finding a small spider to bite him. Lord Grim, who was responsible for clearing the small spiders, seemed to have foreseen this step, leaving behind a small spider heading straight for Yue Zhong Mian.

The most dangerous Boss red health fight had completely turned into a game. Everyone laughed and bullied the Spider Lord, finally killing the strongest creature in the Spider Cave.

First, the system notification popped up.

Lord Grim, Tian Qi, Mu Yun Shen, Qian Sheng Li, Yue Zhong Mian completed the first kill of the Spider Cave hidden Boss, the Spider Lord.

"Awesome!!!" Tian Qi and the others shouted excitedly. If they could, they would lift Lord Grim up and throw him into the sky. They were certain that they could not have completed this battle without him. They were already under a lot of pressure with the infinite stun of the Spider Lord, but killing the small spiders was even more difficult.

What was even more terrifying was his mid-fight save, his accurate control of the small spiders after seeing the aggro, and the design of the entire strategy...

No words could describe it.

Tian Qi and the others couldn't find the words to describe it. They had never seen or even imagined such a great character in their time playing Glory.

"Expert bro, four Strong Spider Webs dropped," Tian Qi went to check the items dropped by the Spider Lord, reported to Ye Xiu, and readily chose to give them up.

The others didn't say a word either, keeping their promise not to touch them.

"Thanks," Ye Xiu said and went over to pick up the four Strong Spider Webs into his inventory.

"You guys take the rest!" Ye Xiu kept his word.

"You take them all, you take them all!!" The rare moment of humility in the game after items dropped occurred without hesitation because of their complete admiration for Ye Xiu.

Besides the Strong Spider Webs, the Spider Lord also dropped two Spider Venom, a pair of Level 15 Chestnut Boots, blue light armor, +3 Strength. In addition, a purple weapon actually dropped.

Peach Wood Katana, Level 15.

Weight 2.6 kg, Attack Speed 8.

Physical Attack 165; Magic Attack 178.

Strength +10, Intelligence +14.

The katana belonged to the sword category, used by Swordsmen. Its attack power was more biased towards magic. In Glory, weapons had a bias towards either physical or magic, while the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella had both equally high. It was obviously a self-made silver weapon.

In comparison, this Peach Wood Katana had the same stats as the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. A Level 15 purple weapon was equivalent to a Level 5 silver weapon. However, this Peach Wood Katana had additional stats, and its attack speed was one level higher than the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella. In terms of stats alone, it was better than the Myriad Manifestations Umbrella.

Ye Xiu praised their good luck today when he saw this katana. Blue equipment was guaranteed to drop from Bosses, and hidden materials were guaranteed to drop from hidden Bosses. But the skill book from before and this purple weapon were things that only appeared with great luck.

Even if low-level equipment was quickly replaced, having a purple weapon like this would make them much more powerful than the average person from Level 15 to 20. And because it was a purple weapon, it could be used until Level 25. Just for this katana, it would be worth it for players who didn't plan on playing Swordsman during their unspecialized period to switch to Swordsman to level up first.

The four swallowed their saliva, especially Mu Yun Shen and Yue Zhong Mian, who were already playing Swordsman. This weapon was perfect for them.

"Hehe, this katana is useless. Whoever wants it can take it!" Ye Xiu looked at it and decisively chose to give it up. He didn't choose the Spider Venom or the Chestnut Boots either, truly doing exactly as he had said before.

"Expert bro, you should take them all!" Tian Qi was very sincere. "If you hadn't led us, we wouldn't have seen these things!"

"Hehe, if I didn't have you guys in my party, it would have been difficult for me to kill the Spider Lord!" Ye Xiu said.

The four were stunned.

Did you hear that? He didn't say he couldn't kill it, just that it would be difficult.
