Jacob grimly watched over ten phantom spiders crawling toward him as he remembered a piece of important information about the Phantom Spiders.

They were predators who lived in colonies and also used cannibalism to sustain themselves when there was no prey. The weak Phantom Spiders would become nutrition for strong Phantom Spiders, and the vicious cycle would continue.

The Queen Phantom Spider was the same as she ate her children to make even more of them like an endless food supply.

Jacob never thought there would be a colony of Phantom Spiders in this underground passage, and they were probably here for a long time.

Now that a fresh prey like him had appeared, it would naturally draw these spiders toward him like a beckon in darkness.

Lastly, Jacob knew the Phantom Spider Queen had to be an extraordinary being, and she was probably hiding while controlling these Phantom Spiders to exhaust him before striking.

However, Jacob wasn't going to fight them head-on either since he knew those spiders might be a part of a large army, so fleeing this place was probably for the best.

Besides, a Phantom Spider had a Poison Magic Core, which had no use to him, so fighting them was even more meaningless.

So, Jacob swiftly turned around and fled toward this passage's exit. Those Phantom Spiders were quite fast but not as fast as Jacob, who was in his 2X acceleration already.

Now, he could only hope that the other passage wasn't a spider nest, or he would have no choice but to either retreat back to the hidden ladder or fight his way out of these passages.

Jacob quickly reached the split corridor, and those spiders were still quite far, so he quickly took the other passage and vanished into it without making any noises.

Although those spiders have excellent night vision and their hearing sense might be best among in rare tier. But as long as Jacob could draw some distance and then keep his tracks hidden, those spiders won't be able to tail him.

However, Jacob had only covered over a hundred meters distance when his heart churned because ahead of him were pairs of crimson eyes that were viciously staring at him.

'Just great, those damn spiders colonize both passages!' Jacob cursed in his heart, but this time he didn't stop.

With the long sword in his hand, he entered 3X acceleration. He wanted to charge his way out of this place now.

Although it would consume his energy much faster, it was far better than waiting for those spiders to overwhelm him.

He wanted to take advantage of his speed and escape this spider nest. As for why he was risking going deeper into the spider nest to escape them, it was pretty simple…

Seeing Jacob coming in their way, those spiders shot poison spry and web balls at him.

But Jacob nimbly dodges everything and swiftly passes those spiders throwing them in disarray.

However, Jacob had just entered a few meters deep into the passage when spider webs blocked his way, and many phantom spiders were eyeing him with bloodlust.

Now he was surrounded from front and back.

But Jacob suddenly smiled coldly, "A spider nest won't be a spider nest without webs. And all the webs are extremely combustible!"

The next moment, a grenade appeared in his hand, and he quickly took out the pin and threw it deep into the passage, and then instantly turned around!

Although this would cause a commotion, he knew this was the only way he could advance!

Furthermore, he was deep underground and could only hope those dark beings won't get alert by this grenade's explosion. Even if they did, they won't be able to find the location unless they could dig hundreds of meters!

As for these spiders, they would be too busy dealing with fire, and he could easily take advantage of this situation and escape their nest!

Those spiders naturally had no idea what just Jacob threw as they all chased after him to stop him from escaping.

After ten seconds…

'Boomm…'

An explosion rang in the corridor, raising dust clouding before blood-curdling shrieks started to ring in the corridor.

Jacob instantly turned around, and when he saw the passage was now lit in bright light, he knew the entire nest was probably ignited!

He ran toward it without hesitation while skillfully dodging the Spider and even cutting them if they got in his way.

Now the place was crawling with those mad phantom spiders as they rushed toward him as if they had completely lost their sanity.

Jacob had to amid these spiders were simply too many and probably here for a long time.

So, he took out another grenade and threw it backward while he entered the sea of flame as all those spiders also started to catch fire because of the hairy respecters on their legs.

Everyone was thrown into disarray as the second grenade also blasted amid those spiders chasing after him.

The spider web of phantom spiders was as thick as a rope and would be burning for a long time. The temperature of the place instantly rose, turning it into a furnace.

At this moment, a cloak suddenly appeared on Jacob, made out of steel threads and highly flame resistant.

Jacob quickly saw the end of the aflame passage, which was another cross path, but the right corridor was not ignited in a fire.

Furthermore, he noticed that those spiders, despite burning in flames, were not approaching that dark corridor.

Which made him somewhat vigilant. Still, he took that path as he wanted to get out of this burning spider nest, and he almost went deaf because of those shrills.

Jacob didn't know if he had managed to get the spider queen, but he didn't want to stay to find out.

But he was astonished when those spiders didn't follow him in this passage, so he quickly stopped the fluid acceleration and slowed down his speed.

Those spiders were avoiding something here and would rather burn than head this way. This was enough of a reason for Jacob to be even more careful.

He quickly took out a piece of meat and ate it while, with silent feet, he slowly walked deep into the corridor. The shrills of spiders were getting vague, and the burning corridor was also not turned into a small light spot.

'Just what kind of place is this?' Jacob was more curious as he walked while replenishing his energy.

Soon, he reached another turn, and now it was complete silence and dark, just like before.

Jacob decided to rest for a bit since there was no one, and he wasn't sure what would be waiting for him at the end of this passage.

After three hours, Jacob starts walking again with his torch. He could see vaguely in the dark if he heightened his senses, but it was far from night vision.

However, Jacob's eyes contracted when he saw the same gloomy light at another turn ahead, and he knew it was the light from the magic torch since it was all over the place.

'Could it be those spiders had gotten rid of all the torches in that area? Then what about this corridor?' Jacob stowed his flashlight away and equipped his sniper rifle and sword as he slowly approached the turn.

Jacob slowly peered while taking cover in the dimly lit corridor. His eyes narrowed when he saw an open space at the end of this dim corridor.

Without making any sounds, he approached the end of the corridor and stopped at the entrance while carefully examining the spacious room in front of him.

It was a 20x20 room painted in dark yellow, and in the center of this room was something that made Jacob's heart race.

A golden crown embedded in gems was mysteriously hovering in the center of a black altar. Furthermore, a stone head with soft facial features was placed right in the middle of the altar and below the Crown.

'Don't tell me…' Jacob instantly looked around, and finally, his eyes landed on the black symbols engraved on the wall straight ahead while the other walls were filled with murals, including the ceiling.

'I reached the place of another condition!' Jacob's eyes shone in ecstasy.

But his heart suddenly palpitated when his eyes landed on a figure who was almost invisible under the dim light and lying on the west corner.

It was a six-meter creature with dark-yellow scales all over its body, and its head was like a T-Rex with a pair of red horns while two red bat wings were folded over his spine and a long crocodile tail filled with sharp red spikes.

Its sharp claws were resting under its head. The eyes of this creature were closed as if it was dead, but when a powerful breath escaped its nostrils, almost turning into a low roar, it was quite evident that it was alive and only asleep.

Jacob almost forgot to breathe as a fabled creature came into his mind, 'A Wyvern?!'
