Chapter: 129
Blue was covered in curtains of silk since it was in the lead, It’s head was completely wrapped. Taking the silk assault head-on, Blue collected most of the silk since it was in the lead – though Blue’s upgraded strength made it seem like it wasn’t affected by it at all. With a few rakes of it’s claws, Blue scraped large clumps of silk off it’s skeletal body, adding it to the ball inside Red’s rib cage.
Jay shook his head with a smile, humored by his skeletons but also a little annoyed by the dungeon so far. The silk was frustrating, and the tension build-up while waiting for the spiders to sneak attack was irritating too.
Though it wasn’t physically hard, It was more of a psychological drain from the tension that the dungeons atmosphere created. However, Jay still preferred this dungeon over the stink-rat marsh. Being covered in silk was much better than being covered in the stinking marsh gunk. The trade-off was that the spiders would ambush them.
Walking over to the spider corpse, Jay looted the body.
[Ghost Silk]x3
– Rare crafting material.
“Ghost silk huh? No poison sack, or fangs?” He expected to get something completely different from the spider corpse, while being a little disappointed since the soap-rat’s gave a lot more variety of loot for their corpses: teeth, bones and fur scraps.
Scratching his chin, he remembered that he still has to get the teeth off the skeletons.
“Boys, where’s my teeth?”
The skeletons walked over to Jay, holding out their boney hands, each of them only had two teeth each.
“What the? Where’s all the other teeth…?”
One of the teeth then fell off the skeleton’s bone hands.
“Ohh, right.” he tilted his head to the side, thinking he had been a bit short-sighted “Probably hard to carry anything small with your bone hands. I should’ve given you guys a bag or something.” he scratched his chin with a humorous smile as he imaged them surrounding a pile of teeth trying to pick them all up.
Collecting the teeth of each skeleton, he had gained 6 stink-rat teeth; a much smaller amount than he was expecting.
“Oh well, we can only keep going. We’ve only got about 30 minutes till I should head back. Let’s make this quick boys.”
Continuing, he walked deeper into the forest without any fear.
“They won’t sneak attack me with my triangle formation. Naturally, they would attack one on the outside, so I should be pretty safe.” he reasoned as he looked up and thought “And I’ll be able to feel when we enter more spider territory because the air will feel thicker.”
With a spring in his step, Jay continued deeper into the woods.
Walking through the forest dungeon, Jay and his party were sneak-attacked three more times, though the spiders were quickly dealt with.
The ethereal spiders were having a bad day. Each of them failed to deal any damage to the undead since their main attack was poison, having no effect on the undead.
The spider’s fangs were made of chitin, a material similar to finger nails – it was no match for the silt wolf bones they were trying to pierce down on; It was like using straw to stab someone.
Since Jay was level seven in a level one dungeon, it was effortless to him – like a walk in the park. Though this park was gloomy, eerily quiet and had no leaves. He was feeling increasingly relaxed as he casually walked through the dungeon, giving him time to think.
“It won’t always be this easy…” Jay’s smile was slowly replaced with a stern expression.
“If someone finds out about my class, I’ll be hunted down to the ends of the earth…”
