Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Dangerous Caves

Before departure, according to the agreement, Li Yunxiao gave Alan and Zhang Xing two poison pills, and explained: "Don't worry, this poison will not attack immediately, as long as you eat my special antidote within two weeks, you will be fine." The two are not ambiguous, a mouthful of poison to swallow, Alan also took out a "poison pill" thrown to Li Yunxiao, but Alan which back to do what poison pill, he this is just to make a small pill similar to chocolate by memory, after all, even if the city can buy the poison is Li Yunxiao as an alchemist still can not taste out of it?

After they went with Li Yunxiao to the location of the hidden cave, walking through the mountains and forests, occasionally encountered some magical creatures Zhang Yunxiao will choose to detour, only if it is not possible to three people will go out to kill the magical creatures, after all, too much noise, then it may lead to more trouble. Alan asked, "Do you usually pick herbs in such dangerous places?" "That's a must, do you really think that alchemists are very lucrative and use all the materials to buy and then nestle at home to make pills? Although alchemists make money fast, they spend money even faster, blowing up the furnace like last time can be a loss. That's why ordinary alchemists still often pick their own herbs, and where there are herbs there are bound to be magical creatures." Li Yunxiao said with a bit of indignation, thinking that those master's disciples don't need to pick their own medicine, naturally there will be a lot of resources for them to practice, like himself this kind of wild road sometimes in order to alchemy but even his life has to be put on the line.

Chatting Li Yunxiao stopped and said, "This is the place." Pointing to the mountain wall in front of him, if it wasn't for Zhang Yunxiao saying that it was there Alan really couldn't see that there would be a cave hidden there. Li Yunxiao numbly removed the grass, vines and debris, revealing a cave about one and a half person high. Before entering the cave, Li Yunxiao reminded, "Stay alert inside, there are magical creatures guarding inside, I was almost killed by a black bear last time."

Looking in from the outside due to the light problem looks like an endless abyss, Alan as a vampire himself night vision is not bad, but Zhang Xing and Li Yunxiao can't see a thing, fortunately Alan had already asked Zhang Xing to prepare a lamp, in order to illuminate the road ahead. The cave was relatively narrow, the three of them could only move forward in a line before and after, with Zhang Xing in the front, Li Yunxiao in the center being protected, and Alan at the end. Along the way they found that some human or similar animal bones would occasionally appear on the ground, Alan would search the bones to see if there was anything useful left behind, but strangely enough, some of the bones here were intact, and there were no scratches of bear claws to be seen, it didn't look like a black bear had done it, which could only mean that more than just black bears might be inhabiting this place, and Alan always felt that there was something staring at them. As if they were their prey.

As they walked to a wider location, this uneasy feeling grew stronger, Alan could even hear sibilant sounds. "Stop, something's not right here, something's coming." Alan called out to stop the remaining two and cautiously looked around. As expected, soon a bunch of spiders started to emerge from the hole in the mountain wall slowly surrounding them. The light from the lifting lamp allowed Li Yunyao to see the spiders clearly, and also saw the pattern on their backs that resembled a ghostly face, "This is, the Ghost Face Spider! Looking at their size, they should still be young, the bigger ones should still be behind them! Everyone be careful! They are highly poisonous, and they will also spew out poisonous silk!" Li Yunyao took the lead and took out his longsword to prepare for the battle, without saying a word, Zhang Xing took out his Snake Scale Phantom Axe and swung it up to kill the spiders in front of him, Alan also took out his Red Blooded Fangs and rushed towards the spider swarms, and the ones that were dangling down from the spider silks on his head were also blown up by Alan's blood thorns, and instantly the ground was covered in the corpses of Ghost-faced Spiders.

Seeing the death of his companions, the ghost face spider seemed to be stimulated, accelerated to the direction of the three people, "This is not a solution, we will be the first to run out of stamina, let's run towards that hole!" Alan found out that there is a hole where no ghost face spider crawls out, at that moment he couldn't care less, he called on the other two to run in that direction first. After entering the hole Alan used his own blood to draw a few circles along the mountain wall around, and then manipulated the blood spikes to create a web-like barrier, the back of it is from time to time to venture out of the blood spikes to stab the spiders that come pouring in, and slowly the spiders' corpses blocked the hole, and this allowed the three of them to have a chance to catch their breath. Alan did not forget to say to Li Yunyao while catching his breath, "I didn't expect that you, a researcher in martial arts, are not weak." "Ha, alchemists like us with no background can only rely on ourselves and know some martial arts to save our lives." "Hurry up when you've rested enough, there's a bigger one waiting for us ahead." Alan's hearing as a vampire was stronger than average, he could hear the spiders behind him were already gnawing on his partner to make way, the blood he had left behind was starting to be insufficient, but there was an even bigger one waiting in front of them, without guessing wrong that would be the Ghost-faced Spider King.

The three continued to go deeper, soon the three came to the end of the cave, inside looking around is a place about the size of a basketball court, surrounded by cobwebs, a careless may be stuck by the cobwebs, in the middle of the web, a ghost-faced spider almost two meters in size quietly waiting for the three, although the ghost-faced spider does not have a human expression, but Alan feels it is talking to them: "My prey you guys have finally come."
