As Lin Jie advanced with the team, he was thinking of how to recruit Bi Yueshuang. If he could recruit Bi Yueshuang, the beautiful Druid, to Savage Blade, it would definitely be a great boon. Though it was unknown whether the information that Bi Yueshuang was inside the Spider Den was reliable or not. Also, even if he met her, it was still uncertain if she was willing to join Savage Blade.

 However, no matter what, the main mission now was to find the Mutated Spiderweb. As for Bi Yueshuang, he would settle it according to the situation then.

 With Breeze Wind's intentional command, Lin Jie went and controlled all the spiders that the team met along the way. There were at least two spiders as a pair in the den, and at most, five would be a team. However, no matter how many there were, Lin Jie would always be able to deal with them perfectly and steadily control the whole situation, allowing the team to clear all the spiders safely.

 Along the way, there were no accidents at all, and many people in the team started to secretly admire Lin Jie.

 The only thing that was hard to deal with would be the Rare spider that was randomly spawned, named “Spider Broodmother”, which could lay eggs. The health points of the small spiders that were hatched from the eggs were low, but their numbers were huge with high damage. It was inconvenient to control them all.

 However, Breeze Wind also knew when to stop, of course, she would not insist for Lin Jie to control all the monsters in such a situation. She arranged the Fire Mage to burn all the spider eggs in time.

 As the team steadily advanced, they reached the first intersection. There were a total of 20 passageways in front of them, the structure and monsters in each branch line were all different.

 “Let's go here.” Breeze Wind randomly pointed to a passageway.

 “Hey, team leader, you know where to go?” shouted Lin Jie.

 “I don't know, but since we're here, it's all relying on luck,” replied Breeze Wind. “The branch lines in the Spider Den are random and will be refreshed every day, so there's completely no pattern to follow. However, when we enter a branch passageway that has the Hidden Boss, then we will have a certain chance to obtain the system prompt message. If there is a prompt message, then it means we have encountered the Hidden Boss.”

 Don't Sweep Fallen Flowers added, “However, only when we are close to the Spider Prophet will there be a system prompt message. In the case of the Spider Overlord and Spider Lurker, even if we had entered the correct passageway, there would be no hints.”

 Lin Jie took a step forward and pointed to one of the passageways behind him. “I think it would be more reliable to go this way,” he said.

 Breeze Wind took a look at that passageway. It looked exactly the same as the other passageways, there was nothing special about it as they were all deep and gloomy without any light at all.

 'How did this guy determine which passageway to enter? But according to his general performance, this guy is definitely an expert, so maybe, he really has some special methods. I'll temporarily trust him once,' thought Breeze Wind as she sized up Lin Jie.

 “Then we'll enter the passageway you mentioned,” said Breeze Wind. Since it was pure luck as to which passageway they entered, there was almost no difference in where they went.

 Lin Jie agreed and brought everyone into the passageway. Just as they stepped inside, everyone heard the system prompt message.

 —'You have stepped into the resting grounds of the Spider Prophet, accept your death, intruders!'

 “Hidden Boss! Haha, we really encountered it!” shouted Don't Sweep Fallen Flowers in surprise.

 “Yes.” Lin Jie's tone was extremely calm as if it was natural to meet the Hidden Boss.

 Afterward, Lin Jie walked beside Breeze Wind and said, “Leader, I want to ask something of you.”

 Breeze Wind was still shocked due to encountering the Hidden Boss. They had entered the Spider Den tens of times already and had not even met the Hidden Boss, so who was he to have the Boss spawn when he just came? Was this the extreme good luck in the legends?

 She stared at Lin Jie for a long time, as if she wanted to figure something out form his face. Only when she heard Lin Jie's request did she subconsciously reply, “Why? What?”

 “That, the Mutated Spiderweb… Could you give it to me?” asked Lin Jie.

 “Erm…” Breeze Wind pondered for a while and said, “That is a rare material where only the Hidden Bosses will drop, the market price is quite high. However, it's not impossible if you want it. You have to give the team members gold coins to distribute amongst them according to the market price, how's that?”

 Lin Jie agreed immediately. “Of course! So it's decided.”

 Then, they continued advancing.

 'Wait, something seems to be amiss?' Breeze Wind suddenly felt as if she had missed something important. She had this feeling that something was wrong but was unable to pinpoint exactly what the problem was.

 Everyone moved in preparation for encountering the Hidden Boss. Breeze Wind shook her head and threw away those cluttered thoughts, then she calmed herself down and followed the team.

 This time, everyone walked exceptionally carefully. The Spider Prophet was a Hidden Boss, although its grade was simply Gold, there was map enhancement from being within the den, so there would be a great adjustment and increase in its attributes and others.

 Also, the most important thing was that the Spider Prophet had a skill that was extremely hard to deal with—[Parasitic].

 From when the player entered this passageway, they would have to be especially cautious when facing each monster. The Spider Prophet might crawl out from within the Normal monsters anytime while the players were battling. That was the effect of the Boss' skill, it could parasitize any spider and could appear anytime to attack.

 Also, the Spider Prophet would absorb attributes from the players when it appeared to attack after it parasitized the monsters. This portion of attributes would be increased by 10 times before being enhanced on the Spider Prophet.

 As for how to be on guard against the Boss' ambush when clearing monsters was the first thing to do to kill this Boss.

 There was another wave of monsters in front of them, a total of six of them, and they were all Spider Warriors. Their attributes were higher than Normal Elites at the peripheral by 20%. Normally, it would cause much trouble for the team, but don't forget that the team had Lin Jie now.

 The Spider Warriors' weight and size did not change, it was only their attributes that increased. Hence, before Lin Jie's abnormally strong controlling skills, the Spider Warriors were nothing. At most, it would increase the time everyone spent to kill the spider by a little.

 Lin Jie charged to one of the Spider Warriors skillfully, and with a Shield Cut, he swung his blade and knocked the spider into the air. Afterward, with an elegant and clean turn of his body, the other Spider Warrior also followed the same fate and flew into the air a second later, banging against the first monster.

 Next was the dazzling performance of the Spider Warriors' collisions.

 “Six of them, and it is still not his limit?” Breeze Wind was astonished. She planted Life Seeds for Lin Jie. That was the only common instant healing skill that Healer Druids had, they would plant Life Seeds into the target. She could explode it after 10 seconds, recovering 700 heath points for the target instantly, and she could at most plant three of them.

 Breeze Wind saw that there were many monsters, and their attributes were also strengthened, so she had prepared beforehand just in case. After planting the Life Seed, Breeze Wind stared at Lin Jie intensively, ready to support Lin Jie once he became tired, or that the monsters made any strange movements.

 However, the next moment she was stunned. The six spiders rolled left and right, and flew up and down. The instant before, they would be in the air, waving their legs all around crazily, but in the next instant, they would be stunned by landing on the ground, banging onto the wall or other spiders. Then when they finally regained their consciousness, they would be hit by something again and be stunned.

 Such a sight made Breeze Wind remember a scene of when she was a child. She loved to watch those clowns with long noses at the amusement park, the clowns would juggle four to five pins with both hands in turn.

 Originally, she thought that this Berserker was already powerful enough from using an unknown four-consecutive-strike technique to knock away each monster, but she never thought that he would take the initiative to decrease his health points by half. He had actually split a skill into four, and his strength was even increased by two times, directly lifting four monsters into the air! How proficient must he be in his skill to be able to do so?

 The spider monsters were confused and disorientated from being controlled by Lin Jie. When they finally regained their conscience, they would attack Lin Jie by scratching him with their claws for a few times, but they only dealt negligible damage before returning to their state of being thrown up and down.

 The other members weren't lazing around while they exclaimed at Lin Jie's strength and admired his performance-type execution—they attacked with all their might. The damage output of all members was quite the amount, so the health bar of the Spider Warriors started to decrease rapidly.

 As this wave of monsters was about to be killed, just at that moment, the situation took a 180-degrees turn!

 “Be careful, it's Parasitic! The Boss is here!” shouted Breeze Wind loudly. She was the first to discover the Boss as she was on guard the whole time.

 One could only see that the stomach of the Spider Warrior, which was in the sky due to the Floating Combo, suddenly exploded. Then an old spider, which was extremely hideous and covered with white fur, emerged out from within.

 It was the Boss! Spider Prophet!

 The Spider Prophet spat out a sticky energy spiderweb. The spiderweb landed in front of Lin Jie, and 5 small spiders were hatched. Then with a loud sound, they exploded.

 -683!

-625!

-555!

 MISS!

 MISS!

“Life Seed, explode!” Breeze Wind panicked, and she hurriedly exploded the Life Seeds to recover health for Lin Jie. However, in the next moment, she suddenly realized the Damage Dealt was staggeringly low!

 'Wait… Where did those two MISS appear from?'

 “Come out!” Just when Breeze Wind was still trying to figure out Lin Jie's damage situation, a roar could suddenly be heard from where Lin Jie was. He quickly pulled out a sword with a broken blade from the sword sheath behind him, using his left hand backhandedly. The surface of the sword suddenly started burning with blazing flames and emitted a blinding light from the flames.

 Suddenly, that Berserker's right hand swelled up tens of times and transformed into a pair of huge pitch-black hands, grabbing the Spider Prophet's head. He swung his hand and slashed towards that Spider Warrior, which was parasitized by the Spider Prophet.

 His Broken Blade flashed past, and the body of the Spider Warrior disappeared from being directly instakilled by the Flame Boost! The Critical Hit, which dealt as high as 8,000+ points of damage, was instantly flooded by the sea of fire, but nothing escaped Breeze Wind's eyes.

 The light from the fire flashed past, and Lin Jie's Broken Blade had been stuffed back into the sword sheath long ago. His actions were simply too fast, and there was even the afterimage left on the original spot, which did not disappear. In the eyes of Don't Sweep Fallen Flowers and the others, they could only see the flash of light from the fire and the Spider Prophet that had emerged from the monster's stomach. Afterward, it fell to the ground after being hit by everyone's various attacks.

 Lin Jie thrust his blade and accurately pierced into the Spider Prophet's head. It directly penetrated its head, and with a swing, the Spider Prophet was knocked into the air!

 'It's him?' Breeze Wind covered her mouth, her eyes full of surprise.
