Chapter 1183: The Crazy Little Spider

Translator: Halcyon Translations Editor: Halcyon Translations

Fifteen players were divided into two squads, which soon left behind a trail of bodies. Remnant Dream was like a hard-working bee as she looted one body after another. She had started sweating but she never got tired.

Most of these monsters would drop something, but usually, it would be a cloth item. Occasionally, there would be a Bronze item.

Level 55 Bronze items couldn’t impress even the weakest players, as most quests would reward Steel or even Gold equipment. However, the demand for rubbish equipment hadn’t declined as more and more of them were required for Enchantments – they were needed for decomposition.

This group of mobs had dropped enough rubbish equipment to repair everyone’s equipment.

“Hey...” Remnant Dream suddenly stopped. It seemed like the item that she had just thrown into her backpack...

“It’s a recipe! I actually got the recipe!” Remnant Dream called out and jumped up and down. She was very happy, even more so than when she had found the Epic equipment.

Sure enough, it was the powerful fire resistance potion recipe!

Recipe: Powerful Fire Resistance Potion

Recipe Type: Alchemy

Requirements: Expert Alchemy (260)

Use: Teaches you how to make the Powerful Fire Resistance Potion

Powerful Fire Resistance Potion: Increases the drinker’s fire resistance by 10% for 30 minutes.

Currently, there were very few potions that could even increase your fire resistance by 5%. Most of those recipes were controlled by the major guilds, so even if an ordinary player acquired this them, the major guilds would try and get into contact with them. If they didn’t want to join the guild, they would sign a very attractive but exclusive deal with them to stop these potions from getting onto the market.

This formula was quite high-end, but it only required Alchemy 260 to learn.

Most Alchemists could only reach this level if they had been training their Trade Skill. This was why the demand for Fire Resistance was so great. You needed an Expert Alchemist to make the potions. Even if you had the money to buy the recipe, you needed to know or become a Master Alchemist. Buying potions from an Alchemist would not make any money.

“Rice Ball, you can go back and learn it. Work hard to make this fire resistance potion for us. Soon our guild will be able to farm this Instance Dungeon for equipment,” Lu Li said, assigning the recipe to Sesame Rice Ball.

Although Sesame Rice Ball accepted the recipe, he shook his head and said, “I won’t learn it. This kind of potion needs to be mass produced and I don’t have time to do that.”

“Then, you can just find someone in the guild who is reliable,” Lu Li suggested, not insisting on it.

“I don’t really need to find anyone; my apprentice will do it. This formula only requires an Expert, and she is already there. We’ll have this ready by tomorrow, and she might even become a Master by tomorrow afternoon,” Sesame Rice Ball said.

“She’s already an expert?” Lu Li was surprised.

He was also an expert, but the main reason for that was because he couldn’t be bothered pursuing alchemy. He had purely relied on making poisons to get this far.

“Yeah, she is even more talented than I am in this regard. The most important Alchemy skill is being able to withstand the loneliness. This kind of calmness is rare among girls of her age.” Sesame Rice Ball was actually younger than Cold Chill, but since he was a Master, he spoke in a master’s tone.

When Lu Li thought about it, it wasn’t a difficult thing to accept. It was no surprise that Cold Chill was talented. As for her patience, Chinese medicine practitioners needed to be so to ensure that no mistakes were made. As such, her patience was naturally better than that of an average person.

Besides, Cold Chill was Sesame Rice Ball’s apprentice and was sponsored by Lu Li. She could have any materials that she wanted, so the speed of upgrading was not completely unusual.

“I don’t really care how you do it, just make a bunch of potions as soon as possible.”

Lu Li didn’t want to interfere too much. If someone could replace Sesame Rice Ball, that would be better. As a party member of the core group, he needed to ensure that he kept up in terms of levels.

“I will definitely get you a bunch of potions by tomorrow. I will tell White Bread to prepare the materials now,” Sesame Rice Ball promised.

“Alright, everyone work hard to get rid of this wave of monsters. We will be setting off for the Boss next.”

Lu Li did not expect anything from the rest of the monsters. If they got something, that would be welcome, but otherwise, it didn’t matter.

After the last monster fell, there wasn’t another fire resistance potion recipe, but another Mage robe blueprint was dropped.

These were all assigned to March Rain. Although she didn’t need this equipment, the process of making the equipment would increase her Trade Skill EXP. March Rain’s Tailoring level was quite high, but she wasn’t a Master like Sesame Rice Ball. However, Tailoring could be upgraded at a much faster rate than Alchemy.

After clearing out the mobs, they headed onto the next area.

The number of Trolls was becoming fewer and fewer. The players could see a mesh-like object, some mucus and some residual limbs on the ground.

Judging from the wreckage, it wasn’t only the Trolls and Dwarves that were corrupted. There were some other races not found in the Blackrock Spire that were corrupted too.

Then, they finally saw the culprit – the spider.

Why were there spiders in the Blackrock Spire?

Lu Li easily knew the answer to this question. It was said that centuries ago, the Iron Dwarves drilled into the Smoulderweb spider’s nest which caused them to rush into this hall and take up the space. Since then, the spiders had stayed in this Spire and even the Iron Dwarves didn’t dare to walk through this area.

The Iron Dwarves often did this kind of thing. In fact, almost all Dwarves liked to drill underground. The fact that they would run into things like the Smoulderweb Spiders did little to stop them.

These spiders eventually became a line of defence for the Blackrock Spire. The earliest agreement between the spiders and Dwarves described a common defence, but if anyone entered the spider’s domain, even if they were an Iron Dwarf, they would meet their end.

These were small spiders. It was unclear how many there were, but it was probably not just a single one.

There were also the bigger spiders. When they first saw that spider, everyone thought it was the Boss. However, the big spider wasn’t actually that hard to skill, and a group of players could easily defeat it.

After the spider was killed, a myriad of small spiders than crawled out of its body and covered Azure Sea Breeze.

Then, they began to crawl over Wandering...

With both tanks dead, was the team now bound to get wiped?

“Lighty, Whirlwind!” Lu Li had no time to look for anyone else. Moonlight responded quickly enough and started up Whirlwind as he was the closest to these little spiders.
