"You were attacked by the Beetle Blade Saint and suffered 116 points of critical slashing damage. Due to your 32 points of defense, you ultimately took 20 points of damage."

"You were attacked by the Beetle Blade Saint ×10, and you ultimately took 200 points of damage."

"Your Level 10 Healing Talent has been activated, consuming 400 points of satiety in 30 seconds, capable of restoring 200 points of life value."

"You detonated the Ninth-Grade Exotic Item Flame Crystal, and are now amidst a sea of fire, suffering 50 points of normal flame burn damage per second. However, due to your 1 point of fire poison resistance, you are immune to 10 points of flame burn damage. Thanks to your ordinary level of perfect flame resistance, you are immune to 35 points of normal flame burn damage, ultimately taking 5 points of flame burn damage per second, lasting for five seconds."

——

Amidst the blazing flames, Wang Wu finally saw the combat alert that arrived leisurely as if waking from a hangover.

Well, it's better than nothing.

Because that so-called Beetle Blade Saint and the Spider Widow on the opposite side, after a lot of fuss and various big moves, and sacrificing at least forty elite Black Spiders and thirty elite Black Beetles, only managed to inflict a little over two hundred points of damage on him.

But in fact, in a while, his life value would be almost full again.

"Thanks to my buddies for sending this exquisite feast!"

Wang Wu didn't even want to attack anymore, nor did he flee. He just stood there in the blazing fire, grabbed a roasted spider, and started munching.

The taste was a bit odd, but equally delicious.

In a few bites, it was swallowed, and the effect was immediate. This time, the information arrived especially fast.

"You consumed a gourmet food, gaining 100 points of satiety and 12 points of spiritual qi."

Excellent!

Wang Wu munched rapidly, devouring four roasted spiders. After five seconds passed, the fire extinguished, leaving food scattered all around, with a tantalizing aroma filling the air. What a delight!

His satiety was full again.

Yet, the battlefield became silent.

Both the Black Spiders and the Black Beetles looked at him with deep apprehension.

Even the previously aggressive Beetle Blade Saint, like a Little Teddy, didn't launch another stormy attack.

"Friend, are you just a traveler passing by?"

The Spider Widow suddenly spoke human words, though not fluently or clearly, it sounded very awkward.

Wang Wu did not reply. He could not reply. The only thing he did at that moment was quickly open the attribute bar, consuming 100 points of spiritual qi to increase his life value from 360 to 370 points.

Life value can never be too much.

And currently, the Basic Attributes seem to have no upper limit, so increasing the baseline values as much as possible won't affect the fixed value increments at each stage of life.

There's still a lot of room for maneuver here.

"Friend, it might have just been a misunderstanding earlier. We have no intention to be your enemy. If you're willing to state your purpose, we can pretend nothing happened."

The Spider Widow continued to speak, though her syllables were incredibly stiff, they seemed sincere.

Wang Wu finally looked up. He's not an unreasonable person; the yield was nice this time, and he hadn't forgotten his purpose. As long as a cooperative trading relationship could be established, he'd accept taking a bit of a loss, considering the other is such a prestigious local demon clan.

Perhaps in the future, he could even train a bunch of second sisters, third sisters, fourth sisters, and so on.

At that moment, he truly raised his right paw, preparing to show the other Flame Crystal hidden inside. He believed he had made his intention clear, that he was here to trade, not to intimidate.

After all, this thing is best used unexpectedly and when the opponent is unprepared. Revealing it directly, any half-witted Little Demon should understand what's going on.

But just as Wang Wu raised his right paw and before he could reveal that Flame Crystal, without any warning, a cold glint flickered from the mouth of the Spider Widow, piercing silently and unerringly through his heart.

It was a needle or a thorn. Who knows what its origins were, it was so sharp and eerie.

After all, both were at least thirty meters apart!

Moreover, Wang Wu's Level 8 Danger Perception hadn't sensed a thing in advance.

At that instant, Wang Wu only felt a chill in his chest, then half of his body lost control. He wobbled and fell with a crash, a strong dizziness overcame him, making it difficult to focus, as if he could faint at any moment.

The last scene he saw was the Spider Widow rushing forward, her several meters wide thick abdomen bustling about, wrapping him into a bundle with webs.

"Hehe, Eighth Madam, if this Daughter's Red is brewed successfully, it would at least be an Eighth Grade wine. By then, you mustn't forget my share."

Half-asleep, half-awake, Wang Wu seemed to hear a sharp, twisted voice, sounding like a eunuch but even stranger with added falsetto, quite eerie.

"That is natural. Fellow Daoist, you have helped greatly today. Our two clans support each other and advance together. How can I not see the bigger picture?"

Listening to their conversation, Wang Wu didn't even have the energy to get angry. He was too exhausted, feeling as though he could fall asleep at any moment.

The only thought he had left was to persevere. Persevere, don't sleep, don't sleep!

But this feeling was so hard to endure, as if the entire world, all his memories, including himself, were pale, monotonous, and flat. His consciousness seemed like a wandering ghost, observing irrelevant things.

He endured this agony for who knows how long, unable to hear the conversation outside or know where he was, whether dead or alive.

Only then did a few lines of information lazily float before his eyes, appearing quite perfunctory.

"You have been hit by Lady Spider's Ninth-Grade Demon Artifact Soul-Devouring Poison Needle, receiving 150 points of piercing damage. With your 32 points of defense, you ultimately suffered 54 points of damage."

"You have been eroded by the Ninth-Grade Bone-Dissolving Poison. Because of the Ninth-Grade Soul-Devouring Poison Needle's enhancement and its direct hit on your heart meridian, you suffered 500 points of critical bone-dissolving damage, with the bone-dissolving poison spreading twice as fast."

"Due to your current beneficial status, you evaded 250 points of critical bone-dissolving damage. Also, due to the Flame Crystal's suppression of the bone-dissolving poison, the poison spread rate is reduced by half."

"With your ordinary-level perfect spider poison resistance, you evaded 15 points of bone-dissolving poison damage."

"You ultimately suffered 235 points of critical bone-dissolving damage."

"Your Level 10 Healing Talent is activating..."

"Due to your Level 10 Healing Talent, your body slightly adapts to the characteristics of the bone-dissolving poison, gaining 1 point of bone-dissolving poison resistance, currently at (1/25)."

"Your ordinary-level perfect spider poison resistance is upgrading to bone-dissolving poison resistance. With its pre-sequence intact, the upgraded poison resistance is stronger, with 1 point of bone-dissolving poison resistance neutralizing 10 points of bone-dissolving poison damage."

——

In his dazed state, Wang Wu seemed relieved, unable to endure the terrible drowsiness any longer, and drifted into a sweet sleep.

When he awoke, the feeling was entirely different, as if he had been reborn, about to be transformed, refreshed, and comfortable. It's as if ascending to immortality felt this good.

"Maybe, in this life, I truly have an unsolvable affinity with spiders, encountering such situations twice. Alas, even saying more would be boasting!"

Thinking about all aspects, Wang Wu couldn't help but chuckle, honestly.

Moreover, the Flame Crystal is indeed valuable, capable of restraining bone-dissolving poison. If he hadn't rashly consumed the Flame Crystal earlier, he'd be dead, no doubt.

"In this strange and unpredictable Cultivation Realm, one could die with a moment's carelessness! I thought I already had the ability to protect myself."

Wang Wu silently admonished himself. He had been too flamboyant lately, actually believing that as long as he didn't enter the territory of the North Mountain King and the South Mountain King, he could walk freely, almost getting overturned by that sly old foe's trap!

Thinking this, he checked the Flame Crystal hidden in his right claw, and yes, it was still there. This time was truly dangerous. He hadn't revealed it yet, and the other side had already attacked; otherwise, he might not have kept it.

But that's also because that Lady Spider is sinister and venomous, never intending goodwill, launching a despicable surprise attack as he raised his right claw. Indeed, a demon acts with such malice!

At this moment, he decisively stuffed the Flame Crystal into his mouth, just in case Lady Spider attacks him again, it would at least save his life.

"Just, it doesn't seem quite right either. The Flame Crystal's damage is also significant!"

The next second, Wang Wu promptly spat out the Flame Crystal. The severe consequences from the last time he consumed this thing were still vivid in his memory.

"No, I must escape. Can't use the same trick again, it would be fatal!"

Wang Wu felt a strong sense of urgency. He extended his claws and tried cutting through the external spider web. As expected, the web's toughness and solidity were several levels higher than before. Without daring to make too much commotion, it was impossible to cut through.

Furthermore, the spider web personally wrapped and tied by Lady Spider was clearly more skillful. There was much adhesive inside, sticking tightly to him and fashionably binding him, preventing Wang Wu from making overly intense movements.

This is a really troublesome opponent!

Wang Wu mentally lamented. While pondering whether to attempt a violent breakthrough, he heard the rustling of leaves and the creaking sound of branches unable to bear weight.

Instantly, the image of that giant Lady Spider, comparable to the size of a farm three-wheeler, flashed in his mind.

"Bad!"

Instinctively, Wang Wu felt something was wrong. This Lady Spider was at least at the level of a senior Mountain Patrol Demon Soldier, not easy to fool. If she discovered he managed to luckily survive the bone-dissolving poison, she would never give him a second chance.

The chances of bluffing through were almost zero.

As for swallowing the Flame Crystal to counter the bone-dissolving poison, that was even more inadvisable.

So, directly unleash a big move! I'm done playing; let's all flip the table together!

Grinding his teeth, Wang Wu directly crushed the Flame Crystal within the spider web.

He simply didn't believe that this spider web, no matter how firm or resilient, could withstand this fierce fire.
