Chapter 109: Green Stripe Broodmother

Kayn and the other uses the pillars to hide from the nearby monsters.

As they were moving, they keep on observing the working Ordinary Spider over the distance.

"How many exactly are there?" Gilbert is now rendered beyond belief.

"There seems to be more than tens of thousands of them. And that's just from the distance we have covered so far," Cedrick apparently counted along them along the way.

"Hundreds of thousands, probably," Roshan took a wild guess.

Fortunately, because of the numerous vines all over this place, they have plenty of other means to hide other than pillars. Albeit the pillars were still more practical. Otherwise, they would have been spotted a long time ago.

"If all of that escaped to the surface, we'd most likely be erased from 'The Bridge'!" Gilbert could finally understand now just how insane the real situation is right now. "Tell me, why do we even bother continuing with this mission? We should be returning to the Green Horn Village and report this extremely important matter to Old Chief George,"

"Calm down, Gilbert," Friedrich tapped Gilbert's shoulder. "We are just here to kill the Green Stripe Broodmother and after that, we will return back to the Green Horn Village,"

"Can you really be sure that it won't be the same as what we are looking at right now down there on the third floor?"

"Rest assured, I can guarantee that," Kayn interrupted.

"How?"

"After the arrival of the 'Tower', the behavior of spiders adapted to those of ants. They respect their queen and treat their queen very special. When it comes to the living environment of their queen, they'd make sure to only provide the best and top quality service,"

"Now look around. Do you think enlarging the cave on the third floor would serve any purpose to improve the living environment of the queen?"

"Yes! By enlarging the cave, she'd have more space to move around,"

"You're wrong! A huge empty space is not something a spider would like, especially for a queen. See this place? It's packed to the brim. And most likely the only real reason why they are expanding is that it's full. But once they solve that problem, they'd definitely stop expanding,"

Although Kayn had said that, he knew deep inside of him that not long from now the spiders would find a way up in one of those tunnels. Once they do, they'd start mass producing their numbers in order to cover the whole entire space in 'The Bridge'.

That was what Natas had informed him while they were walking as he suddenly remembered one of his brothers talking about it.

Apparently, the Green Stripe Broodmother never actually truly know that a surface world exists, because every single time one of her spiders gets out, they never go back down again for many different reasons, one of which is that they are killed by the Heroes.

However, after the Ordinary Spiders found a tunnel to the surface, and due to the current overpopulation of the Monster Lair in the Hanging Vines Cave, a continuous stream of spiders came rushing out. Even though a considerable number of them were slain, some still came back down to tell the Green Stripe Broodmother of their great discovery.

It was from then on that the disaster started.

"Let's keep up the pace if you don't want to stay here longer," Kayn reminded everyone. They've been able to slip under the radar of all these spiders present around all this time only because they were quick in moving from place to place. But that obviously won't be for long. The longer they stay here, the more dangerous it would become for all of them.

With that being said, Kayn and the others started hasting their movement.

Just like what Kayn expected, a group of spiders found them.

"This was unavoidable," Kayn muttered to everyone.

The group of spiders was made up of over fifty spiders. There were two Green Guardian Spiders, ten Green Stripe Elite Spiders, twenty Green Stripe Spiders, and the rest were Ordinary Spiders.

This was the exact reason why they were sneaking around, because the moment they get found, it wouldn't just be one spider coming for them, but a group made up of fifty spiders. Clearly, with such a huge number, things would turn messy.

"Luckily, we are already very close to the entrance of the third floor," Friedrich let out some comforting words.

Everyone could see behind the group of spiders the entrance to the third floor. Meaning, they were just very unlucky to seriously stumble upon a group of spiders at the very last minute.

"Can we not just go for the entrance of the third floor? Of course, we still kill some of them," Gilbert suggested.

"They'll follow us, and by then it would be impossible to launch a surprise attack anymore on the Green Stripe Broodmother," Cedrick explained.

"Kayn, any suggestion?" Friedrich looks at Kayn. He actually has a plan in mind, but because Kayn is the leader, he decided to hold his plan for the moment.

"Do we really need a plan?" Kayn waves his hand, quickly taking out the Molten Ice Sword from his Storage Ring. "Just fight!"

After saying that, Kayn immediately charges straight toward the group of spiders.

Similarly, the group of spiders also decided to charge at the incoming Kayn.

"He always gets me all the time," Friedrich smirks while staring at Kayn's back.

Honestly, that was exactly what he was planning on doing. What's there to fear when they are obviously stronger than a mere group of spiders?

The only thing that Gilbert and the others are worrying about is obviously the possibility of more spiders coming to them. They've forgotten that as long as they actually solve this problem quickly, they wouldn't have to face such a problem.

In the next moment, Friedrich took out his sword and charged alongside Kayn.

Seeing this, Cedrick, Roshan, Kimberly, and Gilbert decided to immediately follow suit.

Whoosh!

Kayn releases a Molten Ice Slash to the incoming Ordinary Spiders.

Boom!

The Molten Ice Slash waved through the group of Ordinary Spiders, instantly killing everything it passes through.

Sword Dance!

Both Kayn and Friedrich activated at the same time.

Since he already used a Molten Ice Slash just now, Kayn also uses the Temperature Reset skill to reset the cooldown of the Molten Ice Slash.

With tacit understanding, Kayn and Friedrich shoot out their respective sword wave in the direction of the twenty Green Stripe Spiders.

Because the two sword waves were almost made out of identical properties, except only for their element, they slowly merged together as they made their way to their target.

Ssshhh!

The two sword waves merge together.

Whaashhh!

With the combined strength of the two sword waves, it split all twenty Green Stripe Spiders in half and cut one of the legs of a Green Guardian Spider before dissipating into thin air.

As simple as that, there are only the two Green Guardian Spiders and the ten Green Stripe Elite Spiders remaining in the initial fifty spider group.

"Let's leave it to them," Friedrich suggested as he briefly glimpses at Cedrick, Roshan, Kimberly, and Gilbert that are currently far behind.

"I agree," Kayn agrees.

With that in mind, Kayn and Friedrich open a path for Cedrick and the others to pass through.

Cedrick and Kimberly both stop, letting Roshan and Gilbert continue onward.

Shield Bash!

Boom!

The two Green Guardian Spiders were forcefully halted by Roshan and sent retreating a few meters.

Shield Dash!

Whoosh!

Roshan pushes the two Green Guardian Spiders a few more meters so that they'll be a lot closer to the ten Green Stripe Elite Spiders.

Over at the back line, Kimberly finished casting a Chain Lightning spell and is now trying to aim at a good spot on the clustering spiders.

To make sure that Kimberly's attack would be effective, Gilbert prevented any spiders from escaping the cluster by throwing countless daggers at them.

Shadow Daggers!

Whoosh!

Numerous daggers shot out from the palm of Gilbert's hand.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

A fence-like structure was instantly created.

"Magic Power Enhance!" Cedrick cast onto Kimberly.

"Here it goes!"

Pzzzshhh!

A ray of lightning shoots out from Kimberly's palm and straight above the clustering spiders.

Zzzshhh!

Upon reaching the heads of the clustering spiders, the ray of lightning exploded into numerous chains that rained down and traveled toward their respective targets.

Buzzz!

All spiders began dropping to the ground one by one while occasionally letting out an electric wave from their bodies.

"Begin the clean up!" Kayn informs everyone.

Evidently, all the spiders were only paralyzed. They weren't dead yet.

Because all the spiders could no longer move, Kayn and the others no longer need to pull off fancy moves to kill them. They simply grabbed a dagger from their respective Storage Rings, approached them fearlessly, and soon they began stabbing the vital spots of a spider.

Everything happened very quickly, hence no other spiders nearby were alerted. Moreover, because Kimberly only uses the Chain Lightning spell, barely any sounds were produced from her magic spell.

Once they were done killing all the spiders, Gilbert quickly stored their bodies in a separate Storage Ring, thus leaving no traces behind.

After doing so, they finally entered the entrance of the third floor.

Unlike the first floor and second floor, they don't have to use any vines in order to reach the ground on the third floor. Albeit there were still countless vines around, staying true to the name Hanging Vines Cave.

This time, there was simply a slope leading deeper and deeper underground.

The space inside the third floor was still huge though, but it wasn't as ridiculously huge as on the first floor and second floor.

Kayn and the others followed the slope since there was no other way around. But they made sure to stick closely to the wall so that they only have to pay attention to three different directions.

Along the way, they strangely didn't spot a single spider around. However, there were countless of what seemed to be spider eggs all around them.

Just to be cautious, no one touched any of the spider eggs.

Continuing to travel for a few hundred meters underground, they eventually reached a huge open space at the very end of the third floor.

At the center of the open space, they finally found their target — the Green Stripe Broodmother.
