Chapter 80 The Great Hunt 1 (1/2)

*Swish*

*Puchi*

Another giant, white spider fell on the ground with an arrow pierced right in the middle of its eyes.

Around the corpse of this spider, there was another seven more, that were killed earlier by the same method, a single arrow in its weak spot.

This giant spider had more than one meter of height, they are very nimble and have a deadly poison in their fangs.

But against the silent and stealthy killer, they were unable to even flee.

John left from his hiding place that was above the spider's nest and approached the body.

”Another nest...” John retrieved the arrows from the spider's bodies and helplessly sighed.

He had been in the Ceremonial Hunting Cavern for one full day by now.

He had been traveling forward in full speed, searching for the prey that he had to hunt.

Even after one day inside the cavern, he was unable to see a single Floran hunter.

[They should be a lot deeper than where I'm currently...] He frowned as he thought until there. All the hunters were one day ahead of him, he needed to hurry up.

His journey would have been smooth if it wasn't for the uncountable White Demon Spider's nests that kept appearing to block his way forward.

These creatures had a complete section just for them in the Universal Bestiary Codex.

In the Codex they are categorized as a creature of Tier 2 of danger. But their poison was more than enough to kill a person in less than seconds if it got inside the bloodstream.

Basically the best strategy that the Codex give is to kill the creature before it got the chance to approach.

The catch was that in the Codex the White Demon Spider was written to only reach about one meter of height, and not the two meters that John was killing.

Sometimes such information errors happen, mainly because such creatures can also suffer from mutation, adapt to their environment, and thus the changes in physiology.

But from the first moment John entered in the cavern he was able to feel that this place was a lot different from any other that he ever entered before.

He wasn't able to explain how different it was, but he was able to feel it.

The place was able to bring a peace of mind for John, one that he never felt after the destruction of Earth.

The longer he stayed in the cavern he was able to feel his senses, and body strengthening.

It was a strange sensation. After every battle he could feel his body becoming stronger.

It felt like he had always been shackled and then when he got inside the cavern he was finally free from the limitations, and shackles of the world.

[That's probably why they would make their young Floran hunters enter in this place for training.] John finally came to an understanding as to why the Florans would make the Great Hunt always in this exact place.

After he finished taking and cleaning the arrows, he resumed his journey.

The deeper he went in the cavern, the darker it gets.

The place around him were almost illuminated by luminescent mushrooms in the wall and glowing ores.

John wasn't using flashlight because some creatures would be attracted by the light. And he was neither using night vision because the energy that keep it running also attract creatures.
