"What a waste!" Laisa shook her head as she stood up and said, "Itâs almost noon anyway, letâs have a feast."
"A feast?"
The two were even more puzzled.
Raine looked at the Deep Moss Spider as big as a calf; from its colorful appearance, he knew it was poisonous.
As for the Death Wolf Spider, it goes without saying.
Can this be eaten?
Laisa stepped forward, her dagger spinning twice in her hand before slicing through black arcs around the Deep Moss Spider.
"Swoosh! Swoosh!"
Accompanied by a slight whooshing sound, the eight fur-covered spider legs were severed in response!
Raine could see the smooth cut, the semi-transparent spider leg meat glowing with a faint white fluorescence.
Somehow, when Raine saw the translucent spider leg meat, his body seemed to crave it in an appetite-like manner.
With Sensitive Smell Lv2 enhancing him, Raine guessed after a slight twitch of his nose that the juicy spider leg meat was likely non-toxic.
In other words, it was safe to eat.
"You, as adventurers, know nothing of demon cuisine, really... "
"What are you waiting for, letâs go, start a bonfire at the cave entrance." Seeing Raine and the other two still dazed, as Laisa brought the eight spider legs over, she couldnât help but say speechlessly.
A few minutes later.
At the clearing near the spider cave entrance.
A bonfire was crackling and burning, and the long transparent spider leg meat skewered on redwood branches was sizzling and dripping with oil.
Laisa kept adjusting the direction of the branches piercing the spider legs to ensure even heating.
"Miss Laisa, were you an adventurer before?" Elise looked at Laisa skillfully roasting the spider legs and asked curiously.
"Of course! Not just before, but always."
"..."
Soon, the two similarly aged girls grew chatty.
Meanwhile, Raine became rather âneglectedâ and couldnât help but smile and shake his head.
This didnât bother Raine.
He could take this opportunity to check the Deep Moss Spider Bloodline.
He had killed both a male and a female Deep Moss Spider earlier, and now in his sixteen-cell backpack, two identical Deep Moss Spider icons lay quietly.
Given that Raine had acquired monster bloodlines multiple times before, he had summarized quite a few patterns.
For instance, a creature like the Deep Moss Spider, which wasnât strength-centric, likely wouldnât cause a change in his physique, already enhanced by the Wild Boar Warriorâs Brute Force.
As with the Giant Bloodsucking Bat Bloodline, it hadnât resulted in wings growing.
So, as his physique and appearance wouldnât undergo noticeable changes, Raine decided without hesitation to try and enhance them, without worrying about the two women beside him noticing anything.
He was fully aware that his four bloodline slots were currently filled: 1 Cold-Enhanced Goblin Bloodline, 1 Wild Boar Warrior Bloodline, 1 Giant Bloodsucking Bat Leader Bloodline, 1 Gray Dwarven Bloodline.
Raine thought for a moment and replaced the Cold-Enhanced Goblin Bloodline.
As the Deep Moss Spider icon lit up, an unusual feeling surged in Raineâs heart.
He sensed various slight tremors on the ground through the soles of his steeled boots, but due to their presence, the perception seemed greatly diminished, so he hesitated, then pressed his palm onto the ground.
In that instant!
Raine sensed peculiar and intricate vibrations through the finely adjusted hairs on his palmâ
âApproximately seven or eight centimeters below the ground, a worm is wriggling, and the vibration of it rubbing against the soil particles is very clear...â
âFurther away, about two meters to the left, a crustacean seems to be gnawing on plant roots, and the gnawing vibration is equally clear...â
â....â
âIs this how spiders perceive the world?â
Raine was both surprised and delighted, silently pondering while glancing at the systemâs attribute panel.
âSensitive Touch Lv2?â
âTouch?â
âThatâs right, most spiders donât have good vision and primarily rely on sensing vibrations to perceive external activities.â
Naturally, what Raine cared about most was not this, but the suddenly appearing complex 3D symbol representing the Spider Web Spell in his mind.
Spider Web Spell Lv1, Effect: You can cast a sticky, slippery, strong web with a diameter of about five meters on targets within a 30-meter range around you.
Seeing this spell-like ability, Raine felt quite excited inside.
After all, clearing the Deep Moss Spider was mainly for acquiring the Spider Web Spell.
At this moment, Raine turned to the two people beside him and said: "Iâll go inside and cut the legs off the other two spiders."
"Yes, Mr. Rein, thank you for your hard work." Elise smiled sweetly.
"Okay, I donât think these are enough for the three of us." Laisa assessed Raineâs physique and nodded.
But upon standing up, Raine suddenly felt much lighter.
Hmm?
Raine glanced again at the system panel.
It seemed he hadnât checked the Bloodline Talent column carefully before.
Now, however, he noticed something different.
âDexterity Lv2?â
Dexterity Lv2, Effect: Agility +2.
And Raineâs agility attribute at this moment was also increased from 6 (+0.8) to 6 (+2).
âNo wonder, the whole body feels much lighter, and the reaction seems to be enhanced.â
Raine felt even more delighted.
The Deep Moss Spider Bloodline was awesome! Not only contributing a useful spell âSpider Web Spellâ, but it also improved agility further.
Once inside the Deep Moss Spider Cave, Raine couldnât wait to practice his newly acquired Spider Web Spell.
"Whizz!"
As Raine raised his hand, a mass of white sticky material appeared out of thin air and swiftly flew towards a designated area.
Mid-air, the originally fist-sized white sticky mass expanded in the wind and transformed into a large web after flying several meters, adhering to the entire cave wall.
Simultaneously, a sense of weakness transmitted from his mind.
âSpiritual Power consumption is so great?â
âSeems... casting it three times is about the limit.â
âConsidering conserving some Spiritual Power to cast other spells, probably only twice.â Raine frowned slightly in thought.
In fact, as Raine acquired more and more spells, he increasingly felt short on Spiritual Power.
This was also why he had to quickly become a Classes member, and not just a simple Warrior Classes member.
Earlier back in Dorne City.
He learned in detail about the situation of Mage Apprentices advancing to Mage status, where Spiritual Power would see a significant leap, allowing new mages to meet the Spiritual Power requirements for learning higher-level spells.
After considering for a moment, Raine lifted his eyes to gaze at the white spider web.
He stepped forward, poked it with his finger, and felt it.
Immediately, a sticky, resilient sensation transmitted from his fingertips.
"Itâs surprisingly similar in strength to the web the Deep Moss Spider sprayed before."
"Thatâs not bad."
"In battle, casting this should have a good effect."
"Even if the enemy is strong, breaking through it would take one or two seconds."
And at his level, one or two seconds can often determine the outcome of a fight.
