The weird soft light produced by the radiation of the earth's veins filled the entire cave, twisting into a vortex shape and extending towards the cave wall.

The shadows cast by the jagged stone pillars are constantly dancing, and the stone walls are dotted with weird decorations.

Silver spiderwebs woven with thick spider silk are hung everywhere. Under the strange breeze, countless spider silks vibrate like strings, making a creepy and sharp whistle.

"The Singing Spider's Web."

A Rose priest wearing a dark red robe whispered, with strong awe in his scarlet eyes, "Listen to the voice of the Spider Queen."

The priestess knelt on the ground, raising her snake-head whip with one hand. Five red and black venomous snakes swayed their heads, revealing their terrifying fangs.

Just when she was about to devoutly sing a hymn in praise of Rose, she suddenly jerked up, the sharp sword pierced her slender body, and the bloody sword tip emerged from her chest.

The priestess turned around with difficulty before she died, staring at the deadly hunter with an unbelievable look in her eyes.

"Target is dead!"

"Soul energy is being extracted..."

"Gain experience points: 700 points!"

…

——"Lightning Pull!" [Powerful]

Brian drew out his sword, and a whip with blue electric light instantly appeared in his left hand, and it accurately wrapped around the throat of another priestess who reacted and was about to perform a magical spell.

The crackling electric sparks on the lightning whip flickered on and off, leaving shocking scorch marks on the thin skin and tender flesh of the neck.

Waves of lightning surged out along Brian's palm.

The priestess's harsh lips trembled, her hair stood on end, twisting like the snakes on Medusa's head, and her slender body trembled convulsively.

This is a zero-ring trick, and it is also Brian's favorite spell in battle.

In addition to the relatively touching damage, the consumption and release speed are almost non-existent.

However, the damage is low. As a battle mage, Brian's own professional characteristics "Spell Sharpening" and "Sharpening Strengthening" can completely make up for it.

The former increases the spell's extra damage based on the intelligence attribute, while the latter increases the overall damage by 20%.

With the blessing of the metamagic specialty "Spell Empowerment", the damage is almost comparable to the damage of a second-level spell.

After controlling the priestess, Brian's right hand holding the sword hilt threw out a series of brilliant sword lights like lightning, forcing the oncoming drow soldiers to retreat step by step.

As a battle mage who has practiced swordsmanship for nearly twenty years, his swordsmanship skills are not inferior to most of the drow warriors in ancient Orens City.

If he wasn't worried about other opponents around him, he could kill this drow warrior with a challenge level of up to 5 in the blink of an eye.

"Clang!"

At this time, the last soldier to react drew out his machete and tried to flank the enemy with his companions.

——"Mind Stab!"

Brian's highly concentrated spirit allowed him to transmit the surging spiritual energy to the depths of the soldiers' minds without hesitation.

"ah!!!"

The shrill screams echoed in the empty cave. The drow soldier dropped the scimitar in his hand with a clang, and collapsed on the ground, holding his head in his hands, sweating like rain, and shivering.

Brian's left hand holding the whip suddenly shook, and together with the whip made of magical energy, he threw the dead priestess in front of the entangled drow soldiers.

The drow soldier looked shocked, and his sword, which he had no time to take away, instantly pierced the body of the priestess.

Brian took advantage of the opportunity for the opponent to draw his sword, handed the long sword to his left hand, and made a quick and precise backhand slash that ripped open the air and cut open his exposed throat.

"Pfft!"

Blood spurted out like a bolt of blood, and the drow soldier fell to the ground on his back, lifeless.

With the death of the drow soldiers, the last soldier just recovered from the mental shock and immediately instinctively fumbled for his lost scimitar.

But it was too late.

By the time he reached for the weapon, Brian had already attacked and swung his sword at the same time.

The soldier's pupils widened, he held his neck with both hands and fell at his feet.

"Target is dead!"

"Soul energy is being extracted..."

"Gain experience points: 500 points!"

…

After finishing four opponents cleanly, Brian did not dare to waste time and immediately walked along the curved wall.

This was a cave used by the ancient city of Orens to raise spiders. If he failed to leave in time and was surrounded by a swarm of spiders, his fate could be imagined.

at this time.

A huge spider sprang out from a cave full of spider symbols where he was hiding.

Being well prepared, he suddenly bent over, dodged the spider's venom spit, and smoothly got into the spider's abdomen. Then he raised his foot and gave its soft abdomen a heavy kick, and inserted his sword deeply into it.

Spherical patterned body.

Then, Brian rolled over, drew his sword and retreated, just in time to avoid the gush of disgusting mucus.

"Target is dead!"

"Soul energy is being extracted..."

"Gain experience points: 300 points!"

…

The spider trembled a few times and lay lifeless on the ground.

As the first spider died, countless creepy rustling sounds came from all directions.

Brian looked shocked and immediately ran away along a dense tunnel filled with cobwebs.

In fact, he had a teleportation scroll in his hand that Santila had prepared for him. He could teleport to the streets of ancient Orens city instantly just by tearing it open.

But he didn't intend to use it, because the drow were all treacherous guys, and they would lose their lives or fall into the trap of others if they were not careful.

Perhaps Santila had no ill intentions towards him, but she did not make this scroll herself.

Therefore, it would be better for him not to use this kind of teleportation scroll whose whereabouts are unknown.

Wouldn't it be terrible to finally escape and then fall into another trap?

Besides, he has a faster way to escape.

If successful, he can even return directly to the surface.

However, he does not plan to do so for the time being, because there are ruins of a floating city that fell here during the Netheril Empire in the Underdark.

In addition to a lost Nese scroll, there is also a piece of equipment of legendary quality.

Thinking of this, Brian had to be thankful that his unintentional move of letting the halfling servants help him spread a message played a major role.

If he really escapes this time and obtains a valuable treasure, if he has the chance, he will definitely complete the commission of Elton, the halfling from Greentown.

After all, he still has a bit of the character of repaying kindness.

Brian hurried along the path he came in from.

The tunnel is full of nearly vertical hidden pits and rolling loose gravel. Every step he takes will face a severe test.

Most of the deep pits spread out into tunnels as dense as spider webs, twisting and turning deep into the darkness underground.

There was a putrid smell emanating from the depths of the dark pit, as well as a faint squeaking sound as if insects were scratching at it, making him really unwilling to guess how many terrifying things were lurking under his feet.

thing.

Fortunately, as a half-elf, he has a high agility attribute, and the magic elf boots allow him to easily step or jump in tunnels.

As a spell caster, if the intelligence attribute represents a person's spell learning speed and power, then his agility attribute determines the spell release speed and reaction ability.

Otherwise, what is the difference between it and a heavy fort?

Therefore, practicing swordsmanship for many years has made his own reaction speed and hand speed comparable to that of a rogue or ranger with similar strength to himself.

Half an hour later.

Brian finally got out of the hole as big as the ogre's arms.

Although annoying clicking sounds continued to come from inside, he knew that these captive spiders would never leave the cave easily.

In other words, he is safe for the time being.

“It feels so good to be free!”
