Chapter 214: Insanely strong spiders! (1/2)
Some of the words of Wisp were doubtful to him. Like for example when it mentioned that the scout bee was sucking its Life Force. He wondered if a ghost type creature had it. It prolly meant Essence of Existence.
Though, it was a insignificant matter compared to the current situation. Three big worms with big beaks and a pair of transparent wings were flying in haste towards them.
”Mister, hurry up! Release me!” The wisp screamed. ”Holy, they evolved to such an extent!” The wisp added.
Yman's ears picked the words of the wisp. He guessed that these worms weren't like that when the wisp fought one of them.
He squinted his eyes and guessed that the reason for their evolution must be because of the magical plants and herbs they devoured.
The only thing that wonders him was their reason for entering the cave? It's not like there were magical plants inside.
”Could it be they came here because of the bees?” He spoke aloud the words in his mind.
”They came here for the Heavenly Cauldron!” The wisp responded upon hearing him.
”What? Heavenly Cauldron?” Yman didn't know whether he heard it right or wrong as he could not see a cauldron around.
But when his eyes landed on the mug-like stone, he realised and believed that it meant about it.
A second later, he noticed the other bees noisily buzzing their wings in synchronization with the weird flapping sounds of transparent wings from the enemies. Probably, they were bothered.
The wisp tried to struggle when it noticed the person did nothing and just stood there. Perhaps he was scared. Then it stopped when suddenly struggling when two black spiders on the ceiling shot their webs to the three approaching enemies.
”Eh?!” The wisp was surprised to see it.
The webs constricted the giant worms immediately crashed on the ground after their wings had stopped flapping.
He didn't waste anymore seconds and went for the kill.
Three fortified stones shot like bullets and penetrated the body of the giant worms.
Muddy dark blood splattered from the wounds and stained the ground. He noticed that their health points did not empty on the spot. A little amount of its health points remained, but it didn't last long and the blood continued dripping until the health points turned zero percent.
The wisp went silent for a couple of seconds before it said skeptically, ”Y-you're strong, Mister!”
The wisp remembered its fight against one of the worms. It was a hard fought battle. And it took longer to finish. Yet this person in front was easily dispatching the worms.
Aside from that, those spiders on the ceiling were having the same colors at the creature the wisp currently possessing.
”Mister, are those spiders your creation also!”
Yman nodded before he canceled the transmission and walked towards the dead monsters. Perhaps he could gain some points by looting their bodies.
Sistela said her assessment.
'Yeah, but… we can least store some in the storage,' Yman decided to cut each pair of the wings and stored them inside his storage. Aside from the wings. He took the beaks. In any case, he can throw them anytime if it turns out invaluable.
He took a glove and tried to poke the body of the worms. Yman learned that it was made of a hard shell.
From his back, the wisp came closer to them. ”Mister, thanks for letting me have this body, but what are you doing?” It asked him.
”No, nothing… just taking some samples.”
”Samples? I see. However, Mister, what are you planning to do about the cauldron?” Asked the wisp. Because this man wqs covering the mouth of the mug-like stone with a black silk or black web, and he seemingly took it as possession.
”Oh, right…” he stood and took off the gloves then stored it inside his storage. ”Do you mean… inside that stone is a cauldron?” He asked. After hearing the wisp calling the mug-like stone as a cauldron, he got to believe that the real cauldron was buried inside it. Regardless, it was surprising to learn that the wisp was able to converse without transmitting with it.
It could send its own transmission to communicate with him without getting overcome by his control.
”Yes, Mister!” Nodded the wisp.
”Will it cause a problem if I took it with me?”
After Yman asked it, he noticed one of the bees came closer to the wisp. It was buzzing near it. Looking at them, it seemed like the bee was whispering to the wisp. Then he heard the wisp saying, ”Yes, Mister. It will create a big impact on the whole mountain. Especially to the magical plants, herbs, and other life forms who are getting benefits from it,” replied the wisp.
”Do you mean, the water from it was the source of energy that most of the life forms in here are depending on?” He asked.
”Yes, Mister. But something happened the past few days…” said the wisp with an ounce of sadness within its voice.
”What do you mean?” Yman and Sistela suddenly felt curious about what the wisp was saying.
”According to my friends, a mysterious person came here and sealed the cauldron. Because of it, the water that was supposed to overflow and gush towards the near lake outside this cave had stopped functioning.
