The 20% suppression effect of the Abyssal Giant Spider meant that Zhang Yue could only exert 80% of his combat power when facing it!
However, even with just 80% output, Zhang Yue’s set of skills easily took down two-thirds of the Abyssal Giant Spider’s health bar!
Enraged, the Abyssal Giant Spider opened its massive mouth and spat venom at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue quickly summoned the Skeleton King, using it to block the deadly venom.
That was close.
What a narrow escape!
Following closely, the Shadow Predator charged forward with its blade.
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
A combo of S-rank skills effortlessly cleared the remaining third of the Abyssal Giant Spider’s health bar, killing it!
“Ding~ You have killed a level 56 C-rank monster, Abyssal Giant Spider, experience points +4000…”
Boom!
The massive body of the Abyssal Giant Spider crashed to the ground.
Next to its corpse, besides a scattered pile of Copper Coins, Zhang Yue picked up a card.
[C-rank Monster Guide · Abyssal Giant Spider]
[Description: A monster guide, rumored to be collected by monster merchants…]
Solo farming is really too slow.
Zhang Yue directly switched to group farming mode!
As usual, he used the Skeleton King to lure the monsters.
Before long, the Skeleton King led a large group of Abyssal Giant Spiders, charging towards him with great momentum!
Boom, boom, boom~
A herd of giant beasts thundered forward, shaking the earth and mountains.
Waiting for the targets to enter attack range.
AOE skills Hell Judgment + Necromancer Storm + Thundercloud Storm were deployed immediately.
Combined with the Apocalyptic Black Dragon’s Apocalyptic Dragon Flame and Apocalyptic Dragon Breath, they severely injured the group of Abyssal Giant Spiders.
Then, using the refreshed SSS-grade [Heavenless · Godslayer Curse], Zhang Yue and the Shadow Predator finished them off in one sweep.
In an instant, a dozen Abyssal Giant Spiders were completely annihilated!
He collected a dozen guide cards at once.
Indeed, group farming is much more efficient!
So, after waiting for a skill cooldown, Zhang Yue continued to repeat the process, starting another round of group farming!
As wave after wave of Abyssal Giant Spiders were exterminated, Zhang Yue’s collection of guide cards grew larger.
Meanwhile, Zhang Yue wandered around the island.
In the Ninth World, the monster merchants were elusive.
Perhaps Zhang Yue might encounter a high-level monster merchant on this Monster Island!
In the Ninth World, there were very few old Professionals left from previous years.
Clearly, this world didn’t have enough value to keep Professionals around.
Because the Eternal Set only had a significant effect in the Ninth World.
Outside the Ninth World, its cost-effectiveness dropped significantly, making it worthless!
Thus, on the vast island, Zhang Yue was almost the only living figure!
As Zhang Yue was alone, monotonously farming wave after wave of Abyssal Giant Spiders.
Suddenly, a voice echoed in his ear: “Where is this? It’s so dark here, Ying Ying is scared! Master, where are you?”
Zhang Yue realized: the voice was coming from the Demon Contract.
And the voice was from Cherry!
So, Zhang Yue turned the treasure ring Demon Contract on his right hand.
In the next second, a beam of silver light shot out from the ring.
Within the silver light, a girl in a red dress, with skin as white as snow, appearing like a fairy from a painting, came into view.
Since rescuing Cherry from the Night of the Ghostly Wedding dungeon in the Eighth World, she had been in a state of slumber.
Unexpectedly, she had awakened!
Her clear eyes surveyed the surroundings, seemingly filled with curiosity about this world.
Cherry cheerfully asked, “Master, where is this place?”
“The Ninth World, Monster Kingdom,” Zhang Yue replied. “We’re not far from the world where you were born. Once we reach the Fifteenth World, I’ll help you be reborn.”
Cherry nodded, happily saying, “Thank you, Master!”
Then, Cherry blinked her big eyes at Zhang Yue, pitifully saying, “Ying Ying is so bored, Master, talk to Ying Ying!”
“Hmm…” Zhang Yue cast spells with the Apocalyptic Black Dragon to clear another wave of Abyssal Giant Spiders, saying to Cherry, “Let me finish my work first, you go back to the ring for now, Ying Ying be good.”
Cherry showed a jealous little expression: “Ying Ying waited for Master for a hundred years, and now Master would rather play with these ugly big spiders than talk to Ying Ying!”
“Hmph! Ying Ying is angry, Ying Ying won’t talk to you anymore!”
With that, Cherry turned her back to Zhang Yue, squatted down, and started drawing circles on the ground with a stick.
Zhang Yue was at a loss: “Where did you see me playing with them?”
“I just saw it!” Cherry glanced back at Zhang Yue, pouting: “You did!”
After saying that, Cherry went back to drawing circles.
It wasn’t really Cherry’s fault.
After she was born, she followed Zhang Yue and signed a master-servant contract, then was settled in the Eighth World by Zhang Yue.
She hadn’t even had a chance to properly see what this world looked like.
In her eyes, or rather in her world, there was only Zhang Yue!
Just as Zhang Yue was wondering how to comfort this little jealous girl.
He suddenly sensed a chill coming from behind!
Even though Cherry was angry, her heart was always with her master Zhang Yue.
She obviously sensed the danger too, and hurriedly shouted to Zhang Yue: “Master, there’s danger behind you, be careful!”
Zhang Yue didn’t turn around, he used Teleportation to move instantly.
The next second.
“Whoosh,” a shadow swiftly passed by the spot where Zhang Yue had been just a moment ago!
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Lord-level [Abyssal Giant Spider Hatchling]!
Ordinary Abyssal Giant Spiders were black in appearance.
This Abyssal Giant Spider was red, and smaller than the usual ones!
True to its ID name: Abyssal Giant Spider Hatchling!
Though a hatchling, this creature had quite a temper!
It kept roaring at Zhang Yue.
Zhang Yue used Scouting to see its arrogant credentials: an A-rank monster!
A-rank monsters had a suppression effect as high as 60%, and the strength of a Lord monster was already high.
This made the giant spider not take Zhang Yue seriously at all!
Looking at this defiant giant spider hatchling, Zhang Yue sighed: “Grown so big, haven’t been beaten, huh?”
“Time to let you experience the ways of the world.”
With that, Zhang Yue locked onto the spider hatchling and started attacking!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
After a set of S-rank skills, the spider hatchling noticeably calmed down.
It began to focus entirely on counterattacking Zhang Yue.
The 60% suppression effect of the A-rank monster reduced Zhang Yue’s damage significantly!
However, it wasn’t too much of a problem.
Even with just 40%, dealing around 20-30 thousand damage, Zhang Yue could make the spider hatchling howl in pain.
Its 800,000 health bar soon reached the bottom!
Roar, roar~
The Abyssal Giant Spider Hatchling roared as it retreated.
It had begun to fear Zhang Yue.
But starting to fear now was clearly too late.
Zhang Yue raised his staff, ready to finish off the spider hatchling, planning to get more guide cards from it.
Just then, Cherry’s voice suddenly came from behind: “Master, it’s begging for mercy!”
Zhang Yue paused his spell, looking back at the ethereal Cherry in surprise: “How do you know?”
Cherry’s eyes were fixed on the Abyssal Giant Spider Hatchling, murmuring: “I can hear it talking…”
Almost forgot.
Cherry was a sentient celestial-grade BOSS!
She understood the language of monsters in the Otherworld, which made sense.
“Begging well!” Zhang Yue said, “But I don’t accept.”
“Wait, Master!” Cherry continued, “It says if you spare its life, it will tell you a secret…”
