A few days later, in the Underground World, in the Nightmare Forest.
Boom! Boom!
A violent explosion sounded in the forest, and the ground shook as if the earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking. Large patches of trees that had been blown to pieces flew everywhere.
In the forest, a giant spider that was five to six meters tall was rampaging. Its forelimbs were like sharp blades, and under the swing of the giant spider, all the trees that it passed by were chopped into pieces. It looked like it was full of anger. Heath, who was wearing a black cloak, was running in front of the giant spider. He looked like he was trying to avoid the pursuit. His eyes would occasionally sweep behind him to observe the movements of the giant spider and dodge its attacks in time.
A translucent figure was flying beside him. She said unhappily, “Seriously, why did you provoke this guy? Tarot Spider… This is a giant with the strength of an advanced Wizard. You are crazy!”
Heath had been staying in the Underground Gnomes’ tribe for the past few days. He was conducting experiments while entering the forest to extract materials from the surroundings. This giant spider was unfortunately provoked this morning.
At that time, Heath was chasing a Gray-Tailed Hyena. When he chased into a dense forest, he drew his bow and shot. At that time, he did not pay much attention to the situation in the forest. Who knew that there was a Tarot Spider living in this forest? One could imagine the consequences of Heath’s arrow.
Although the Gray-Tailed Hyena was killed, it also angered the Tarot Spider. The giant creature immediately rushed out of its nest and launched a series of indiscriminate bombardments on Heath, it was as if it wanted to smash Heath into ashes.
Nas
This giant spider was called the Tarot Spider. It was a demonized creature that was equivalent to an advanced-level Wizard. Although Heath’s strength had improved greatly recently, he was still quite a distance away from an advanced-level Wizard. For a moment, he could not help but be flustered by this giant creature.
At first, Heath wanted to try and see if he could kill it directly. However, after casting a few spells consecutively, only Sword Wind and Indestructible could deal a small amount of damage. Even this small amount of damage was quickly recovered in front of the Tarot Spider’s amazing recovery ability. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons for a while, Heath decided to make the first move as a sign of respect. The difference in strength was too big. Even if he won, he would suffer heavy losses. It was not worth it to fight for a meaningless battle.
Heath frowned. “Let’s not talk nonsense now. Quickly think of a way to get rid of this thing.”
It had been more than an hour since this thing had chased after them, but the monster had no intention of stopping. It had been chasing after Heath for more than an hour. It looked like it would not give up until it had a purpose.
Although Heath was full of energy and could run for a few days and nights or even longer, it was not a good idea. After all, it was very uncomfortable to be chased by such a thing.
After a pause, Heath said, “Fly up and see if there is a lake or something like that.”
Nina was puzzled. “Lake? What are you doing?” Heath said, “Didn’t your teacher teach you? Tarot Spiders hate water, and they don’t have the ability to swim. As long as we enter the lake, it won’t continue chasing.” Nina said, “Eh? There’s such a characteristic? Are you sure?”
Heath said with certainty, “I’m sure. Don’t talk nonsense. Quickly go and take a look.”
Tarot Spiders were land-based demonized creatures. Their attributes were darkness and fire. They were not familiar with water, so they would not usually go to places with water. It could be seen from their nests that they were built in the depths of a dark forest. The nests were not built by a bright lake.
“Alright!”
Nina agreed and quickly flew to the top of Heath’s head.
Nina’s range of movement was affected by both the ring and Heath. Her soul imprint was branded on the ring, so her range of movement was limited to a certain range of the ring. At the beginning, the distance was 500 meters, but with the increase of Heath’s spiritual power and the recovery of Nina’s own spiritual power, this distance had been increased several times. Now, she could easily travel within two kilometers.
Soon, Nina flew down and brought good news to Heath. “There are two lakes in the southeast, one on the left, one on the right, and one on the northwest. Which one do you want to go to?”
Heath asked, “Which one is the closest?”
Nina said, “In terms of distance, the one on the northwest is the farthest, and the one on the southeast is the one on the left. It should be less than ten miles from here. What do you think?”
“This is it!”
There was nothing to say. Now was not the time to be picky. Whichever lake was the closest would be the best choice.
After making up his mind, Heath immediately rushed towards the lake Nina mentioned. At the same time he turned, the Tarot Spider behind him also followed suit. Although this thing was extremely large… Its flexibility was not bad at all.
At the instant it turned, it did not forget to attack Heath. It opened its huge mouth, and an incomparably thick and huge beam of light shot out from its mouth. This was the Tarot Spider’s usual attack method, the Disintegration Ray.
As its name suggested, the main function of this spell was to disintegrate. Everything that was hit by the light instantly melted bit by bit like a gray candle. Regardless of whether it was the ground or the trees, a hollow area appeared in the forest in the blink of an eye. It was as if this circle had been forcefully dug out by something
In front of the extremely fast light, Heath was in no hurry to avoid it. At the critical moment, the Mimicry Shield automatically appeared to help Heath block the attack. However, even the Mimicry Shield was unable to withstand the
was about to burn through the entire Mimicry Shield.
Seeing this scene, Heath could not help but exclaim, “Tsk tsk, what a powerful attack.”
His Mimicry Shield was no longer the same Apprentice-level spell as before. Over the years, Heath had put in a lot of effort towards this strongest defensive spell of his, adding most of the knowledge he had learned into it. After continuously modifying it, especially after advancing to an intermediate Wizard, Heath had improved it in all aspects, allowing its defensive capabilities to reach the level of an intermediate Wizard.
The current Mimicry Shield had already moved the peak of the intermediate Wizard level. In theory, even an all-out attack from an advanced Wizard could be blocked. However, at this moment, it was on the verge of collapsing in front of this monster’s attack. It was truly beyond Heath’s expectations.
Higgs looked back and praised, “As expected of a demonized creature of the advanced level. Its power is indeed not to be underestimated.”
Nina frowned. “Hey, hey, hey! I say, enough is enough, alright? We are running for our lives right now, yet you still have the mood to think about such nonsense? Please!”

Heath grinned. “What’s there to be afraid of? It can’t catch up to us anyway.”
The Tarot Spider was not slow, but it was still quite a distance away from Heath. Even if it tried its best, it could only make itself stick to Heath. Of course… Heath also could not shake off the monster. After all, the Tarot Spider’s speed was not too fast, but its endurance was extraordinary. It could also track scent and traces, etc. Even if he suddenly increased his speed and managed to shake off the monster, he would still be tracked by the Tarot Spider later on.
One of them chased while the other escaped. Soon, they arrived at the lake that Nina mentioned.
It was an extremely spacious lake. It looked like it was about ten miles long. Its shape was oval like a pancake. It was quietly placed in the middle of the forest. It was no different from most of the lakes in this world.
When he came to the lake, Heath did not say anything. With a leap, he dived into the lake. Then, his body rose and fell in the water a few times. Immediately, like a swordfish, he flew hundreds of meters away.
Over the years, he had lived in Golden Harbor Town. Thanks to his unique geographical advantage, Heath would go back to the sea for a swim whenever he had nothing to do. In addition, several expeditions had involved underwater operations. Because of this, he had trained his excellent swimming ability.
At this time, the value of knowledge was revealed.
Just as Heath had analyzed, after the Tarot Spider came near the lake, the monster that had been chasing after them finally stopped. It stood on the edge of the lake and kept sliding a few slender legs. It looked like it wanted to rush down, but it seemed to be very hesitant.
Seeing that he was in the water, Heath could not help but raise his eyebrows. He activated his magic to form a layer of ice on the surface of the water. Then, he climbed onto this layer of ice to let himself stand on the lake. Then, he began to provoke the Tarot Spider on the shore.
He took out an arrow from his dimensional pocket and shot a few arrows at the Tarot Spider. Then, he activated his magic to release a few fireballs at the Tarot Spider. The inside of his mouth was even more arrogant as he began to provoke the Tarot Spider.
“Hey, big guy, aren’t you good at this? Come on! Why aren’t you chasing after me?”
“Trash, is that all you can do? A beast is indeed a beast.”
The Tarot Spider was a half-intelligent demonized creature. It would definitely be able to understand Heath’s language. Even if it could not completely understand the meaning of human language, it would definitely be able to recognize the provocation inside.
Looking at the Tarot Spider’s subsequent reaction, it could be seen that after Heath’s series of suicidal actions, the Tarot Spider suddenly became furious. It opened its mouth wide and shot out over a dozen Disintegrating Rays into the lake. This caused a large amount of water to splash on the lake surface.
“Trash, you can’t even use your attacks. If you’re not trash, then what are you?”
“Come on, bring it on! Come and kill me!”
However, in the face of this terrifying attack, Heath still acted as if nothing had happened. He continued to provoke the Tarot Spider, as if he wanted to seek death.
Beside him, Nina’s mouth was wide open. She said in disbelief, “Hey, are you crazy? We managed to shake it off with great difficulty, and you’re still looking for trouble? Aren’t you afraid that it will really charge over? When that time comes, we’ll be in big trouble!”
Unexpectedly, Heath still did not repent after hearing Nina’s words.
He said, “That would be the best!”
Nina was cold. “The best?”
She turned her head to look at the enraged Tarot Spider on the shore, then looked at Heath, who was still jumping around to provoke the Tarot Spider. She seemed to suddenly understand something.
She said in surprise, “Could it be that you did it on purpose? You provoked it on purpose?”
Nina was right. Heath had done it on purpose. He wanted to lure the Tarot Spider into the water for a battle.
Heath had never slaughtered a demonized creature at the level of an advanced-level Wizard. If he had the chance to kill one, it would be the best.
Moreover, how many attributes could a demonized creature at the level of an advanced-level Wizard extract with the system? Just thinking about it made people envious, not to mention the huge value of a demonized creature at the level of an advanced-level Wizard.
Demonized creatures at this level were really full of treasures. Any advanced-level demonized creature could easily be sold at the market for millions or even tens of millions of Magic Stones. With so many benefits, it was impossible for Heath not to be greedy.
If he was on the shore, he was certainly not a match for the Tarot Spider. Unless he risked his life and used all means to fight to the death, there was only a small chance of winning. Such a battle was definitely not worth it.
However, if he could lure the Tarot Spider into the water, it would not be familiar with the water. Heath would be able to gain the upper hand. Then, with the advantage of fighting in the water, it would be much easier to defeat it.
Unfortunately, the Tarot Spider’s reaction did not allow him to get what he wanted. Although it was extremely angry at Heath, in the face of its instinctive sense of danger, this instinct still had the upper hand. Therefore, after hesitating for a long time on the shore, the Tarot Spider did not go down the lake to chase after Heath. Instead, its eyes gradually calmed down and it finally glared at Heath gloomily. Then, it retreated into the forest behind.
Heath, who was in the lake, said in disappointment, “It’s really a pity. I didn’t expect this beast to be so smart.”
Nina rolled her eyes. “It’s just a normal person, okay?”
Heath said, “Is that so?”
Nina said in a speechless manner, “Yes, alright. It’s gone. Let’s go ashore.” Heath shook his head. “Let’s wait a little longer. This thing isn’t that easy to deal with. It might even ambush me by the shore.”
Nina said, “I’ll fly up and take a look.”
Heath stopped her. “It has an advanced invisibility spell. You won’t be able to see it.”
The Tarot Spider had a very advanced invisibility spell. It was able to completely blend itself with the surrounding environment. Even an advanced Wizard might not be able to discover it, let alone a spirit like Nina.
And it was precisely because of this that Heath didn’t notice it in the forest earlier, which was why he accidentally injured it…
