Sunlight penetrates the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows.

A rustling sound, the tearing of flesh, comes from the shadows under the trees.

Through the gaps in the bushes, you can see from afar that a giant spider is quickly devouring the body of a half-eaten wild deer.

Its size is as large as a horse, and its black carapace glimmers with a metallic sheen.

Eight thick legs are deeply embedded in the soil, each as thick as a man's leg, covered in sharp barbs.

The scarlet compound eyes seem soaked in blood, and the two enormous chelicerae continuously open and close, furiously tearing at the deer's body, producing the sound of bones cracking.

The mandibles split into four, revealing rows of sharp fangs, and the sound of chewing sends shivers down the spine.

Originally, Luo De was puzzled.

Why did Alya instantly recognize it as a magical beast?

Now he understood.

No ordinary creature could grow to look like this.

Luo De waved his hand, signaling everyone to retreat into the valley, leaving only the Eagle to observe from afar.

Confirmed it was a magical beast.

But to be safe, they couldn't approach it directly.

Luo De turned and pulled Vivian to the corner, whispering,

"Get your sister to check what exactly this is?"

Vivian nodded,

"Alright, Baron, my sister is already investigating."

After a moment, Vivian's eyes lit up,

"My sister found out, it's a Burrow Spider Demon."

"It's a Burrow Spider Demon, fast but not very intelligent."

"The shell is sturdy, but not as strong as a Flying Dragon's carapace."

"It's venomous, but mainly causes paralysis, a small amount isn't deadly."

"Beware of its web breath, it can spray up to eight meters, serving as its ranged attack method."

Vivian looked at Luo De with a hint of excitement, "By the way, it fears fire."

Luo De nodded slightly, "Wait... does the Burrow Spider Demon count as a magical beast?"

"Yes!"

Vivian nodded emphatically, "My sister says it's a Demonized Magical Beast, a product of mutation influenced by magic power and negative energy."

"There are also Natural Magical Beasts, mutated creatures affected by magic power and elemental energy together."

"Oh."

Luo De was lost in thought.

Not sure if this counts toward their tally.

Regardless, it must be eliminated.

This creature is too close to the mineral vein they've discovered.

"By the way, Baron."

Vivian hastily reminded,

"My sister warns to be careful, Burrow Spider Demons usually don't act alone."

"Alright, got it."

Luo De turned and went over to the group, directly instructing Gala,

"Have your Eagle thoroughly search the area to see if there are any more giant spiders like this."

"Yes, great Saint Master."

Gala immediately communicated with his Eagle, beginning the search around.

Luo De looked at the group, explaining the information about the Burrow Spider Demon, then arranged the tactics.

"White Wolf, you distract it."

"Gang Le and the Iron Guards will assist, block it, but be careful."

"Alya, the spear-throwing team, and I will launch the main attack."

"Yes, my Lord!"

The group responded in unison.

At this moment, White Wolf calmly said, "I haven't even seen what it looks like yet."

Luo De, worried that the magical beast aura on White Wolf might alert the creature, had him wait behind.

"It's just a giant black spider."

Luo De tugged at the long fur on White Wolf's neck, "You'll see it soon enough."

With the tactics arranged and orders given.

At this time, Gala also finished reconnaissance and reported: "Saint Master, there are no other large creatures around."

"But on a hill a kilometer away, there's a large cave, and traces of webs were found around it."

"Looks like that's its lair."

Luo De frowned.

"We need to be careful not to let it escape; if it burrows into the cave, it'll be hard to deal with."

"Hunting Team, go around to the back of this spider demon."

"Yes, my Lord!"

The Hunting Team captain waved and climbed over on both sides of the hill, running to the back of the forest from afar.

When the time felt right, Luo De led the group up the hill.

As expected, White Wolf wasn't even a hundred meters from the spider demon when it stopped eating and stared intently at the rock where White Wolf was hiding.

White Wolf had no choice, jumping onto the rock, making a commanding appearance, overlooking the Burrow Spider Demon.

The two magical beasts stood in a distant standoff, neither making the first move.

Until the sound of birdsong came from the forest opposite.

"White Wolf, go!"

At Luo De's command, White Wolf jumped off the rock, moving forward slowly.

Gang Le and the Frost Iron Guard quickly charged from the left side.

Their boots stepping on the fallen leaves made rustling sounds, immediately capturing the spider demon's attention.

Its massive body swayed between the two directions, uncertain which target to attack first.

"Throw the spears!"

Ten sharp spears shot out from both sides!

The spider demon showed no fear of such an attack, immediately spitting out webs to shield its body tightly!

However, the enchanted long spears were far from what it expected!

The web was instantly turned into a beehive!

And three spears pierced through the web, still shooting towards it, terrifying the spider demon, causing it to roll on the ground!

At such close range, it couldn't react in time; the three spears accurately embedded in its body!

The hard carapace made a brittle sound, pierced directly by the spears!

Black-green bodily fluids splattered!

"Hiss!"

The spider demon let out a sharp screech, hurriedly pulling out the spears with its limbs, using webs to block the wounds.

Fortunately, the spider demon's webbing was rather tough, slowing the impact of the spears on its body significantly.

The wounds weren't deep, not causing any fatal damage.

Otherwise, one round of spear throwing could have ended this Burrow Spider Demon right then and there.
