Chapter 152: Chapter 122: GuaGua Who Likes Archery_2

Flying avian creatures or insects could easily become a sumptuous dinner for large spiders if they did not carefully observe the semi-transparent silk threads.

"Go on, I leave these kills to you," Ye Hanjun said indifferently.

"Yes."

Li Jingming nodded, tilting his ear to listen to the nearby insect languages.

Confirming that there were no emotions such as "fear" or "panic," he slowly approached the Long Spear Spider. His flickering fingers constructed a dazzling Energy Bug Net at an incredible speed.

From a distance of twenty meters, Li Jingming suddenly rose, throwing the newly-materialized net into the air.

When the Bug Net lost its propulsion and was about to fall, the area it covered was right where the Long Spear Spider was.

"Hiss!!"

The drowsy Long Spear Spider woke up in shock.

It was initially just covered by the Bug Net and could have escaped lightly.

But due to its blind and furious struggle, a few spider legs were tangled by the Energy Bug Net.

"Swoosh! Swoosh!!"

The Ghost-Faced Moth rushed out, aiming at the frantic Long Spear Spider, continuously launching ’Scare Powder’. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Although the Long Spear Spider possessed sharp Spider Spears, which could easily pierce the armor of its prey, it could not touch the Ghost-Faced Moth at all, leaving it helpless to utilize the deadly weapon.

"Hiss hiss..."

In just about twenty seconds, because its body was covered with a large amount of Scare Powder, the large spider’s six eyes were bulging round.

It no longer longed for a counterattack and just wanted to escape.

But it could not break free from the Bug Net quickly, its soul further eroded by the toxin, and it finally gave up struggling, curling up on the ground and shuddering.

"Clang!"

Li Jingming, who had slowly approached it, raised his long sword and plunged it into the head of the Long Spear Spider and gently stirred it.

The giant spider convulsed for about ten seconds, and when its eight legs stopped moving, Li Jingming finally raised his head, his gaze returning to Su Mei and Ye Hanjun.

"Clean kill, well done."

Ye Hanjun, avoiding the mud, stood back up next to Li Jingming.

The Long Spear Spider in front of him had reached the Great Completion of Clay Body, at the same rank as the Ghost-Faced Moth.

In the natural ecosystem, because it was not food and a fight with it was unrewarding, due to these two reasons wild Ghost-Faced Moths would never pick a fight with it.

But with the cooperation of the Patron, it was defeated without any harm in just a few minutes.

This was the advantage of human and Fond Spirits cooperating in battle, especially for Patrons whose Ability could assist Contracted Spirit Fond Spirits, making them even more proficient in combat.

"I can feel the accelerated flow of my Ability..." Li Jingming pondered for a while, "But I feel that there is still a long way to go before I reach the first rank bottleneck."

"That’s normal," Ye Hanjun nodded, "You’ve only been a Patron for two months, but with the Great Completion Ghost-Faced Moth, you can take the advantage in battle."

"But because you’re a ’Bug Catcher’, it’s difficult for you to resonate with your Ability while in the academy, so it’s still too early for you to breakthrough the rank."

"Yes, with Master Han’s guidance, I will try to stay in the wilderness as much as possible and try to gain experience as quickly as possible."

Li Jingming looked thoughtful, then continued:

"Master Han, the marsh is a relatively safe zone. Can I try the ’Sweet Slime’?"

"Yes," Ye Hanjun agreed, "This ability is quite interesting, and I would also like to know its strength."

"Then I’ll set the trap. I would appreciate it if Master Han and Sister Su could keep a lookout for me."

Saying this, Li Jingming began to weave the Insect Net under the watchful eyes of the others.

Once his Energy Bug Net was made, it would not dissipate immediately.

Different thicknesses, different densities, different shapes, different toughness, different stickiness... would result in thousands of strange combinations.

Using the carcass of the dead Long Spear Spider as bait, both concealed and obvious, Li Jingming made a large number of insect nets between nearby tree trunks, ferns, and rocks, forming a surrounding circle.

Then Ye Hanjun and Su Mei retreated hundreds of meters, watching as Li Jingming finished weaving and started to secrete an orange, sticky substance from his palm, slowly coating the carcass of the Long Spear Spider.

Active Ability—Sweet Slime!

The promotion of the Respecting Teacher’s Ring did not give Li Jingming any extra Passive Abilities.

But he gained one more Active Ability, which seemed to attract insect Fond Spirits. If combined with the Weaving Insect Net, it might yield exceptionally high catch rates.

"Whoosh——"

After applying the slime, Li Jingming retreated decisively through the remaining gap in the Bug Net.

Then, while calming down the slightly agitated Ghost-Faced Moth, he and Ye Hanjun, along with Su Mei, hid among the plants and waited patiently for the scent to disperse.

"Buzz buzz buzz——"

After only about five or six minutes, a group of Blood-sucking Mosquitoes at the Small Achievement of Clay Body rushed over buzzing.

They did not hesitate, going straight for the carcass of the Long Spear Spider. Even when some of their companions bumped into the bug net and lost their ability to fly, they seemed not to even notice, continuing to rush madly in.

"Gululu! Gululu!!"

Two Corrosive Snails rolled in, one was blocked by the net and struggled fiercely, the other luckily slipped through the gap and then climbed excitedly over the corpse of the Long Spear Spider.

"Boom!!"

A Big-mouthed Centipede suddenly burst out of the ground. Because there was no prepared Bug Net on the land, it was unimpeded in biting the carcass of the Long Spear Spider and coiling its long body around it, intending to enjoy this big meal all by itself.
