However, because there were thousands of mummies and skeleton soldiers accompanying them this time, they were very afraid of fire, so Levi also paid a little attention to avoid affecting them.

This is not a problem that is difficult to solve. Whether it is Sefa's ice magic or the low-level magic - Fire Protection Belt, it can be done perfectly.

So soon they were walking through the fire and successfully attracted the enemy's attention.

Spiders of various sizes, ranging from dozens to hundreds, were swarming towards them, jumping, rolling, waving their claws.

Not to mention, their combat effectiveness is not yet clear, but their appearance is indeed a bit disgusting + scary. Sally and others in the team all showed obvious disgust.

Even Mortred was obviously a little uneasy, and Levi couldn't help but feel a little amused. This phantom assassin, who was so brave that he had killed countless demons, was actually afraid of spiders?

As if noticing Levi's gaze, Mortred blushed slightly. Even though she had done a lot of targeted training, once she actually encountered a spider, she would inevitably have some special reactions.

"Sorry, Lord Levi"

Levi waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, I can completely understand. After all, you are a girl, and don't forget, you are not alone."

At this time, the advantages of the mummies were revealed. Under the orders of the two priestesses, they stood at the forefront and were responsible for resisting the attack of the spider swarm.

No matter it was the spider's claws or venom, they had no reaction at all.

Levi also asked Cindy and other spellcasters to release some auxiliary and protective magic for them to improve their survivability.

Unfortunately, as we continued deeper into Spider Web Mountain, the strength and number of various spiders steadily increased, and many mummies and skeleton soldiers inevitably suffered casualties.

Even though they were protected by the Egyptian gods, they were no longer alive after all, and it was difficult for conventional healing spells to be effective on them.

In addition to using special potions, scrolls, etc., they can basically only use their unique Nehekhara spells for treatment, or rely on time to heal themselves.

On the other hand, those warriors from the Scorpion Goddess Church performed very well.

In addition to their significantly stronger combat power, they seem to be able to use the spider's toxins to restore their lives.

Because Levi had seen it more than once, when a tomb warrior was knocked down by a spider and was about to inject poison, neither he nor his companions would attack immediately.

Instead, they wait until the spiders have finished injecting the poison before killing each other.

But it's not incomprehensible. After all, he is the younger brother of the Poisonous Scorpion Goddess. Anyone who knows how to poison can't detoxify him.

On the way, they would occasionally find traces of other races, but basically all that was left were some bones, horns, fur, or weapons and armor that were riddled with holes and corroded by venom.

Due to the desire for various giant spider eggs and the relics of the people who died here before, although Spider Web Mountain is extremely dangerous, adventurers have never stopped, but most of them eventually became a part of this place.

Thinking like this, Luna suddenly reported to Levi with some surprise: "Sir, I found a surviving halfling chef!"

Levi raised his eyebrows immediately. The halfling's hometown is thousands of miles away from here. The forces nearby tend to be lawful or good, either the Tomb Kings who don't need to eat or drink at all, or the extremely xenophobic Wood Elves.

Why is he a cook here? Could it be that he wants to eat spider eggs?

"Is the opponent a hero chosen by God or an aborigine?"

"They are Aboriginal people."

Levi pondered for a moment: "Bring him here, and you all should be careful."

Saying this, Li Wei also secretly gave a few instructions to Cindy, Elegy, Penthesilea and others.

If it is a conspiracy, it is unlikely to be revealed immediately, but it must be guarded against.

A few minutes later, a halfling chef carrying an iron basin and a spoon and wearing a white hat, who looked very typical and was extremely frightened, appeared in everyone's sight.

When he saw those mummies, he seemed to be frightened again.

But when he saw Li Wei and others, his face was full of surprise, and he rushed over at a trot, expressing his gratitude hurriedly.

Levi also asked a little bit, and it turned out that the other party came with an adventure team. The other party wanted to steal some spider eggs to sell for money, while he wanted to try a new recipe.

For example, grilled spider eggs, braised spider legs, stewed spider eggs with beets, etc.

After hearing this, Mortred felt as if she was getting goosebumps all over her body, but Levi seemed very interested.

"I never thought spiders could be eaten. Have you ever eaten a spider? What does it taste like?"

"Well, I haven't tried it a few times. I just make some barbecue occasionally. It tastes a bit like chicken and is crunchy."

The halfling was talking and gesticulating. He seemed to be a very ordinary halfling.

Levi smiled and seemed to be more interested: "Oh, is that so? I happen to be short of a chef in my team. Are you willing to join? Remuneration and so on, everything is negotiable."

When the halfling heard this, he immediately showed obvious hesitation, and then he asked tentatively: "I want to return to the nearest town first, and can I wait for you there?"

"What, don't you want to try some new recipes?"

The halfling shook his head hurriedly: "I still cherish my life more."

Li Wei snorted and waved his hand domineeringly: "Follow us and your life, recipes, and even gold coins will all be in your hands!"

Without waiting for the other party to react, Li Wei turned around and ordered: "Elegy, give him 100 gold coins first, and it will be regarded as my advance payment!"

When Elegy's name was called, her heart suddenly moved. Although everyone had space rings and money, she was not usually responsible for managing logistics.

Moreover, Li Wei has never behaved so domineering before, coupled with the few words he just warned in advance

Although he was thinking a lot in his heart, Elegy remained calm on the surface. He just laughed, took out the gold coins and handed them over, and even patted the other party's little head carelessly.

"Don't worry, if you follow us, you will definitely be able to save your life. We might as well tell you that we are here today just for the Reproductive Queen!"

The halfling suddenly trembled: "What?"

Levi coughed lightly: "Elegy, don't scare him."

"No, no, no, I wasn't scared by this beautiful lady. It's just that the adventure team I joined before was massacred by the Fertility Queen, and I managed to escape!"

Speaking of the latter part, the halfling's voice sounded a little crying.

Levi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then you must know where it is?"

The halfling hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth: "Yes, I know. If you can help me get revenge, I can not only show you the way, but I can also help you cook for three months!"

"Haha, okay, deal, let's lead the way!"

The halfling nodded vigorously, and then really led the way.

Seeing this, Levi, Elegy, Donna and others exchanged quick glances, and they all felt that things were going much smoother than they imagined.

No matter what the other party's true identity is, he is definitely not as simple as he appears!

I was scared to death just now, but now I have nothing to fear?

On the contrary, Penthesilea only realized after seeing Li Wei's actions. Although she is a queen, she is not good at using her brain.

She just felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put it into words.

But it doesn’t matter, brother Li Wei has noticed it anyway, so leave it to him. She is only responsible for killing the so-called reproductive queen!

Ah no, she is just an ordinary soldier now, Li Wei's personal bodyguard, she can't do that at all.

Just like that, with the halfling leading the way, their goal became extremely clear.

However, Li Wei did not let everyone give up their original actions. They still walked and burned all the way.

During this process, various large spiders continued to attack, and eventually they all turned into corpses.

As the strength of the spiders increased, King Kong and Mountain Giants, etc., were gradually affected by their toxins.

Levi took a special look and found that the poison effect of some high-level spiders can be accumulated. It doesn't matter if it doesn't take effect once. If you bite it a few times, you can break through a certain threshold and cause damage to them.

Of course, for Levi, who is the mystic master of the heaven, this is a problem that can be solved with a little bit of money.

But out of some consideration, he did not show this and just let the other priests in the team perform the purification.

It's just that it's a little difficult for them to deal with it, and it often takes several spells to completely eliminate the hidden dangers.

After killing these big spiders, there are also some trophies from time to time, including spider silk, fangs, and magic items from the unlucky people who have been swallowed by them.

Yes, when their size reaches their level, they are no longer satisfied with simply sucking body fluids, and some even eat meat directly.

There are even spider eggs that are constantly being acquired, and with a little processing by druids and others, they can become good combat effectiveness.

Levi also tentatively asked the halfling chef, but the halfling said with great regret that they were not the most suitable.

He wanted to go to the other party's lair with his own hands to select the freshest ingredients.

Moreover, Levi is so powerful and has saved his life. If he wanted to eat it, he would naturally have to eat the eggs of the most powerful Arachnari giant spider!

Li Wei naturally laughed to express his understanding and strive for excellence, but in fact, the other party would never guess what he really thought.

As they burned, the poisonous mist in the mountains gradually became lighter. In this way, the air force such as Carilian and others, who had already left long ago, could also play a reconnaissance role.

After burning at least ten miles of mountain road and killing four to five thousand giant spiders, the halfling finally slowed down.

"Across this mountain col, there is a valley in front of you. The reproductive queen and her nest are in it, but the spiders there are also the most numerous and the most ferocious."

After a slight pause, he looked at Levi pleadingly: "Can I not go? Can I stay at the back?"

Levi was a little funny: "This is Spider Web Mountain, and there are big spiders everywhere. Is it really safe back there?"

Without waiting for a reply, he waved his hand again: "Well, just stay with me. As the leader of the army, I am definitely the safest here. These mountain giants and King Kong are the best proof."

Cindy next to her also continued: "That's right, let alone ordinary big spiders, even the reproductive queen will definitely not be able to match their brute force!"

Levi also laughed and nodded: "That's right, and even though I'm a mage, I'm also the strongest in the team, an archmage who's over level 15!"

The halfling's eyes suddenly lit up, and he no longer hesitated, but nodded slightly excitedly:
Chapter completed!
