After entering the mining cave, Liu Ming gradually began to find it dim.

Liu Ming walked along the passage, where he could occasionally see the skeletons of a few unknown animals.

The Ghostly Flames that appeared on the skeletons acted as a light source in the passage. At the same time, it also made the mining cave look even more terrifying.

Fortunately, Liu Ming had always been brave. Otherwise, he might be alarmed and frightened at the slightest thing, let alone explore the mine and fight the monsters. However, Liu Ming couldn’t help but curse in his head, Those damned planners. Can’t you just add a few torches or oil lamps? Must you really do this?

After casually cursing at the game planners, Liu Ming made use of the Ghostly Flames’s faint light and continued delving deeper into the mining cave.

The further he went, the darker it got.

…

After walking along the passage for a while, Liu Ming was greeted with two other passages that led to two different places.

Liu Ming looked at the entrances to the two passages, but he didn’t discover anything special about them. Hence, he casually picked the one on his extreme left and entered. However, as soon as Liu Ming entered the passage, a loud sound suddenly came from behind him.

Hearing that, Liu Ming immediately turned around and looked over, only to see that the passage’s entrance behind him had been completely obstructed. Not a single ray of light could penetrate through.

If not for the fact that there were also some specks of Ghostly Flames in the passage, it would have been pitch-dark.

Since the passage behind him had been obstructed, Liu Ming was certain that he did not choose the wrong path.

After all, even if it was a hidden mission, the novice players probably wouldn’t be killed immediately and be respawned in the novice village since they were still in the novice stage.

Even if the passage that Liu Ming chose did not lead him to his target destination, it at least wouldn’t lead him to death.

After confirming that, Liu Ming stopped thinking about what might be in the other passage. Instead, he walked towards the cave’s deeper areas without hesitation.

Before Liu Ming could even take a few steps forward, a large translucent shadow suddenly descended from the sky and slammed into him.

-28

At the instant that Liu Ming got attacked, he slashed the unknown monster ruthlessly.

Heavy Slash!

-229

Under Liu Ming’s retaliation, the monster immediately vanished.

Liu Ming did not expect the monster—which had suddenly attacked him—to be that fragile. It was immediately killed by him. In the end, Liu Ming found the name of the monster in the system’s information board.

[System Hint: Attack the Phantom Spider and gain 180 EXP]

Liu Ming could tell that the Phantom Spider had high Attacking Power from the damage that the monster had just inflicted on him.

Liu Ming’s Defense was only at 75 points, and he lost 28 HP after being attacked.

For other Level 6 players, having 40 Defense points would be enough to last them a few days. In other words, other Level 6 players would at least lose 60 HP or so after being attacked by the monster.

Losing 60 HP in one go was overwhelming, even for Liu Ming—who currently had plenty of HP—let alone other players.
