Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 926: Chapter 120: Reaching the Hell Pit Cave · Finally Encountering the Night Wanderer Corpse

After receiving the Book of Prayer, Su Li swiftly organized the team and continued advancing towards the monster lair.

This Anaric Giant Spider lair is a complex network, impossible for Su Li to complete the investigation so quickly.

The achievement of the Godslayer wasn’t that easy to attain either; it was unlikely that casually picking up several giant spider corpses by the roadside would cause the goblins to be terrified.

Therefore, he moved quickly, continuing to march inside along the direction of the cave.

However, it wasn’t long before the cave started to branch off, making it inefficient to continue advancing as a single army.

Thus, at a crossroads, Su Li decisively ordered the division of forces, saying to everyone: ”Hilude, you lead a troop to explore the east side. Demster, take the dwarves to search the west side. Dietrich will come with me, continuing straight ahead. I don’t believe there’s anything in this underground lair that could threaten our Divine Chosen level presence.”

”If there’s any significant danger, retreat and regroup. Each of our teams will leave markers on the path using swords.”

Hilude was accustomed to commanding troops in battle.

However, Demster, since entering the Hesse Territory, had seldom commanded such elite forces, and immediately exclaimed with excitement: ”No problem, my Lord, how many people will you give me? I will definitely be the first to find the hidden Spider Empress!”

Su Li looked at him skeptically and asked: ”Can I trust this behavior? Maybe I should let Dietrich lead a team instead!”

Demster panicked at once: ”No, my Lord. You are the supreme master of the territory, how can you easily go back on your word? I promise, however many people you give me, I will safely bring them all back! I will lead fearlessly, charge at the front, and guard the rear at the last.”

”Alright then.” Su Li also didn’t want to dampen his enthusiasm, saying to Griffin Knight Edwin: ”Take a squadron to follow him, and help him stay calm.”

Edwin smiled calmly and said: ”Rest assured, my Lord, I will certainly assist Demster Divine Chosen and swiftly clear out the lair.”

With Edwin’s assurance, Su Li felt relieved, swiftly dividing the forces and advancing.

It turned out that this dark and desolate world was much more vast than Su Li had anticipated. He led the troops through the underground caves for half the night without seeing any traces left by the other two teams.

This underground cavern was practically a massive underground city, full of terrifying monsters, including twisted corpse demons, skeletons, scorpions hiding in the corners, spiders, as well as hordes of green skins and goblins.

By midnight, the entire troop was fighting bloody battles, their heavy armor soaked with blood, and everyone’s bodies splattered with blood!

The terrifying Anaric Giant Spiders had been cleared out, four of them, under Su Li’s leadership, pierced through their heads by the champion knight’s lance amidst countless goblins and goblins.

In the eyes of countless fleeing and disbanding goblins, this scene was truly terrifying; some deranged goblin shamans completely broke down mentally, unable to accept that the Anaric Giant Spiders they revered as divine spirits were slaughtered like stray dogs by the knights.

This caused a large number of goblins and goblins to flee in utter terror.

The cavern’s complex terrain made it difficult for Hesse Territory’s army to launch extensive pursuits, resulting in many goblins regrouping around another Anaric Giant Spider after fleeing, witnessing their revered spiders being killed by humans multiple times.

The goblins and goblins were familiar with the death of giant spiders; on a battlefield, two or three giant spiders were rare and required offerings from the goblins to summon them from the underground lair, equip them with war machinery, and join the battle.

Even when surrounded by countless goblins and goblins, if their morale did collapse, the giant spiders could trample their way out, while the dense Green Tide behind them helped defend against pursuing enemies. When two or three giant spiders died in a war, it was a significant loss, usually due to concentrated enemy firearm attacks.

Before dying, these giant spiders typically killed many frontline human swordsmen, long spear soldiers, or long halberd soldiers. These armed attendants-level provincial army, even one or two squadrons, would suffer dozens of casualties to one massive spider, leading to a collapse of courage and retreat.

But now, humans seized the weakness of the Anaric Giant Spiders, resolutely delving into their lair before they could equip war machinery and gather a massive number (not less than 2000) of goblins and goblins, bringing an elite army for decapitation.

One giant spider after another fell, leaving the goblins stunned and their faith shattered.

The humans, on the other hand, amassed substantial gains; along their march, they harvested large quantities of extraordinary spider silk from the giant spiders and finally found noteworthy spoils of war.

Many of these were supplies left behind by adventurer remnants, those who had ventured deep into the cave before, laden with collected wealth, and perished in the cave’s depths. Their spoils and equipment ultimately became Su Li’s possessions.
