Nearby, Leo scouted the cave and the changes which were being made. There were countless spiders covering the cave with more rocks to leave only an extremely small entrance. He was not sure what caused the spiders to act this way, but he knew that they were most likely preparing for something.

”If I can heal this man, maybe we can alert the human village not too far from here and we can combine our strengths to take these spiders out in a single strike?” Leo thought as he examined the man's body which was only now showing some color in his face.

This older man had a long brown beard and seemed as if he only lived to drink heavily while chopping off heads with a battle axe. This made Leo think that if this man was related to the woman he met earlier, that the village was no doubt filled with Viking type humans.

This made Leo's head hurt because he was more of a quiet and go with the flow type. So, dealing with many headstrong and battle hungry humans was not on his list of goals during this lifetime. However, he had no choice since there were just too many spiders to slay.

Theoretically speaking, Leo was more than capable of killing off all the weaker spiders within the cave, but how long would that take when thousands were living within and only a small handful would leave the cave at a time to scout and to carry back food?

”Well, this is all part of the adventure I chose to go on. If I quit here and return to the city, it would be as if I only earned the bare minimum requirement to complete this mission at the guild. I need to go back to the city carrying with me the Spider Queen's head!” thought Leo as he picked up the man yet again and fled towards the waterfall.

Back at the waterfall area, Leo examined the older man a little closer and deducted that it would take at least two days for him to wake up and possibly a full week for him to be able to move on his own. ”How long was this man trapped within that webbing for?” pondered Leo as he casually pulled out many of the books that his friends gave him before he left.

”If it is going to take that long even until I can start questioning this fellow, I should use the time properly and read all of these books.” He thought as he opened one of the books as the screen popped up yet again.

”Seriously?” caught off guard, Leo dropped the book and picked up a different book before opening it up.
