Chapter 89

(Ten points of gratitude to 'Nickname I Hate You' for the tip!)

In a somewhat dim, wide stone path, a chaotic battle was currently taking place...

A large group of armored warriors, some wielding swords, some axes, and some spears, were charging forward, engaging in combat with a group of monsters.

These warriors occasionally used combat skills to inflict damage on their enemies. Those who had just used their skills waited for their battle aura to slowly recover while raising their weapons to strike the enemies from time to time.

Behind these warriors, there was a group of mages dressed in light robes. Unlike the warriors who were engaged in close combat at the front, their weapons were more uniform, almost all being staves. They did not rush forward like their comrades but instead raised their staves, muttering incantations.

After reciting a spell, these mages would launch various magic attacks—fireballs, ice spears, wind blades—bombarding their enemies from a distance and assisting the warriors at the front.

Compared to the relatively simple combat skills of the warriors, the mages' magic was diverse. When a group of mages used magic together, the scene was filled with wind, rain, lightning, and fire, all dazzling to the eye.

One might say they were in a battle, but more people would likely think this was like a grand feast.

And what were their enemies?

Stone Spiders! A group of stone spiders, each about the size of an adult human!

These oversized stone spiders did not have the clear division of labor or the variety of attacks that the warriors and mages had. They relied on their massive bodies, charging and colliding with their enemies. When they couldn't collide, they would raise their long, thin stone spider legs and swing them with great agility.

During their charges or close combat, these oversized stone spiders would occasionally open their large mouths, capable of swallowing a sheep, and shoot out a stone spear.

The battle scene was extremely chaotic. Some stone spiders were cut down, or killed with a single powerful move, while others were shattered by fireballs, ice spears, and wind blades raining from the sky.

On the side of the warriors and mages, they were not so heroic either. They also suffered casualties. On the ground, there were those who had been killed by the charging stone spiders, or impaled by their long legs. Of course, there were also some unfortunate souls who were hit by stone spears, including a mage who had been standing at the back!

Chaotic Stone Spider: (Level 50)

When they first saw this information, Wu Yan and the others were stunned, not for any other reason, but because it was simply too strong!

A Level 6 stone spider! If there were as many of these as there were of the large, medium, and small stone spiders before, would this treasure hunt even have a chance of success?

Moreover, since this chaotic stone spider was already Level 50, who could guarantee that there wouldn't be even stronger stone spiders ahead?

Like Level 7? Or Level 8?

Or even...

At this thought, Wu Yan, Chrysanthemum, and Miku couldn't help but look grave. If this were the case, then this treasure site would be incredibly dangerous.

It was no wonder that even a Level 9 powerhouse would be severely injured and eventually die after running away.

If it weren't for Wu Yan's life-saving item, he would definitely have led the women to flee. After all, no matter how precious the treasure, compared to their lives, any sensible person would know what to choose.

Although as long as Wu Yan didn't die, he could use summoning points to revive Miku and the others, he wouldn't leave the women behind to cover their retreat, even if they were just women he liked. Even a slightly chivalrous person wouldn't do that.

Wearing cloaks, Wu Yan, Miku, Chrysanthemum, Ikaros, and Lilin hid behind a dead chaotic stone spider in a corner, watching the battle.

The number of chaotic stone spiders was large, but compared to the number of the previous stone spiders, it was much less. However, there were still about a hundred chaotic stone spiders!

Faced with these hundred Level 6 chaotic stone spiders, the Level 6 warriors naturally became the main force, holding the line at the front. Some surviving Level 5 or lower warriors harassed them from the sides, giving the Level 6 main warriors the opportunity to deliver fatal blows!

With the assistance of the mages behind them, the number of chaotic stone spiders was decreasing. Initially, the number of Level 6 warriors was less than that of the chaotic stone spiders, but now, the number of chaotic stone spiders was slightly lower than that of the Level 6 warriors. If the battle continued, the large group would definitely win!

It had to be said that even with Level 6 strength, the intelligence of these chaotic stone spiders was not high. Fighting against a well-coordinated large group, they were naturally outmaneuvered.

And this outmaneuvering, the methods used, made Chrysanthemum and Miku furious!

They watched as a Level 6 warrior kicked a Level 5 warrior in front of a chaotic stone spider, making it attack. While the chaotic stone spider attacked the Level 5 warrior, the Level 6 warrior took the opportunity to use a combat skill to kill it. By then, the Level 5 warrior was already dead, his eyes wide open in disbelief.

"Damn it!" Chrysanthemum and Miku couldn't contain their anger and shouted out loud, regardless of their current hiding. If it weren't for the soundproofing effect of the cloaks, Wu Yan and the others would have been discovered.

Wu Yan wasn't as impulsive as the two women, but seeing this, a cold light flashed in his eyes as he silently watched the Level 6 warrior still in battle.

"Those guys, not only do they not help, but they also watch such a situation happen. Are they even human?" Miku looked at the back of the battle, where those dozen Level 7 individuals stood, clenching her fists in anger.

"Is this the nature of the people in the world Yan spoke of? The strong rule, the weak are preyed upon? If this world is really like this, then Yan is right, some people shouldn't be shown mercy!"

The harsh reality and the events unfolding before them were challenging their hearts. At this moment, the guild leader only felt that not being born in such a world was a lifetime of good fortune.

For Chrysanthemum, a kind person, to say such things, one could imagine how angry she was.

Wu Yan sighed and gently embraced the two women.

Chrysanthemum and Miku were taken aback, their angry faces flushing red. They tried to struggle, but Wu Yan, having already embraced them, was not about to let go so easily.

He gently blew into their ears, making their bodies tremble and their ears turn bright red. Their struggling weakened.

Seeing their reactions, Wu Yan secretly smiled, though his face remained calm, not as lecherous as his inner smile.

"Chrysanthemum, Miku, it's better if you don't watch..." At this, Wu Yan couldn't help but put away his smile and sighed.

Miku and Chrysanthemum exchanged a glance, lowered their heads, and fell silent.

After a while, Chrysanthemum raised her head, her yellow-green eyes meeting Wu Yan's without a hint of evasion. She said seriously, "No, Yan, I want to watch!"

Hearing Chrysanthemum's words, Wu Yan was a bit taken aback, but Miku, after a glance at Chrysanthemum, smiled, as if she understood the reason.

"Why?"

"For no reason..." Chrysanthemum lowered her head again and said, "We will definitely travel to more worlds in the future, not just this one, but also Miku's world and others. These worlds will certainly have their dark sides. When that time comes, you, Yan, will definitely have to deal with these dark sides. So, rather than adapt later, it's better to start now..."

"Don't look at me, I feel the same. Besides, in my world, there are such dark sides, so I need to adapt even more!" Seeing Wu Yan look at her, Miku immediately spoke up.

Wu Yan looked at Chrysanthemum and Miku seriously for a while, then sighed, pressing their heads into his chest, inhaling the scent of their hair, and said softly, "I'm sorry to put you through this..."

Chrysanthemum and Miku smiled, closing their eyes involuntarily, savoring this rare moment of tenderness...

(Seeing the pitifully few recommendations, my heart is broken... Friends, please give me a recommendation, it only takes a few seconds and won't be a bother. Please, or else, sniff sniff...)
