Chapter: 132
“Cut it open, NOW!” Jay yelled at Blue..
Blue responded instantaneously, even before Jay could finish his sentence. Cutting open the hole again, it made short work of the part the wall again. The part of the wall that the spiders were trying to patch up was far weaker.
He didn’t bother to loot the corpses as he jumped through the hole.
Stepping out of the nest, Jay took a deep breath in, feeling like he could finally breathe again. His skeletons followed after him.
“Phew.” Jay panted with his hands on his knees for a moment. “Close call.”
Having some time to think and room to breathe, he watched his skeletons exit the hole one by one. It was a tight squeeze for a human – much more so for a large spider with its eight legs. He had
A devilish grin appeared on Jay’s face, as he had a glorious idea.
“A natural chokepoint..” his skeletons form a circle around the hole.
Shortly after, the silk wall bulged a little and a spider started to squeeze through the hole – only to be pierced in its head by three swords before even half of its body could get out.
“Modern problems require modern solutions I guess.” Jay smiled in amusement, happy to see that his plan was working.
The dead spider was then dragged back inside the hole – probably to be eaten by its brothers.
Since the ossein swords did 8 damage each, three strikes was more than enough to end the 17 HP spiders.
Like flies to fruit, more spiders sprawled out of the opening, seemingly raving from the scent of fresh blood. The first few were pulled back in after they died, but as the hole got bigger, the spiders chose to rush out.
Another spider went down with three swords through its head, as more trampled over their siblings lifeless bodies. Jay had to periodically help in the event that one of his minions missed a sword strike. Things would get bad quickly if just one spiders managed to use its clasp skill on one of the skeletons.
Eighteen spiders were dead now, and the corpses were piling up around the hole, making it harder and harder for the skeletons to coordinate their attacks. Their bodies were causing a barricade of sorts for the rest of the spiders.
Jay levelled up from all the experience, but had to focus on the battle, so he could only wait to spend his skill point. He did get attribute points too, but he was most excited about making his skills stronger.
As the battle went on, the hole was also getting wider. The tear was ripping open more and more as each spider pushed through. Almost two spiders could leave at once if they squeezed, while one could charge straight out.
Realizing things were getting more dangerous, Jay had to make a decision. Spiders were pouring faster through the wall, tearing more of the hole open each time.
He first looted the corpses, gaining 54 ghost silk. He then quickly backed up from the nest until he was about twenty meters away.
Taking out six unstable teeth, he began to charge all of them simultaneously. The size teeth started hovering in his palm and shivering as they were being filled with mana.
In a short series of commands, Jay simultaneously had his skeletons run back from the hole as he discharged all of the floating teeth into it.
Jay and the skeletons ran back up the forest path without looking back. Six explosions sounded behind them, and Jay didn’t need to know that he just killed enough of them to temporarily plug the hole with their bodies, injuring them enough to slow them down.

A small feast was happening on the other side of the wall, some of the first spiders who started to eat the others were even ripped apart in the feeding frenzy. Being covered in fresh blood was a dangerous thing. Some of the spiders coming out of the hole now were even trying to escape the others, as they were covered in blood which made them a target.
Jay’s guess was correct as he received the experience notifications, encouraged by his spell attack levelling up – though he didn’t have time to read the details so he ignored it for now.
