Blue-eyed Spider
The three players from Tyrant Guild followed behind Su Jin and entered the Blackwater Cave. Tyrant Knight received the news from them.
He led his guild members to harvest the farm, but he was a little absent-minded.
Tyrant Knight immediately snapped out of his deep thought and tapped open the message when he heard the notification alert sound. After reading it, he felt both fortunate and afraid at the same time. Then, he heaved a sigh of relief.
When the vice president of Tyrant Guild saw that he asked curiously, "President, what's wrong?"
"I have good news. It is great news, actually. Gather 30 trusted guild members and follow me later. Be careful and make sure no one notices us, especially those women from Rosette Guild. Find a few smart guild members to pay close attention to them."
"No problem. Can you tell me why?" The vice president nodded and asked curiously.
Tyrant Knight hesitated for a moment and decided not to keep it a secret, "It is nothing serious. It happened when you didn't go to Novice Village with me. I met a solo player there. He was purchasing 200 wild boar tusks. I think he knows about some hidden quest."
"I have given him a deal. So did Rosette Guild's president. But that gut doesn't seem to care. But he looks like he has some agreement with Rosette Guild and seems like he wants to communicate further with him."
"I've threatened him. So, we are now enemies. I thought he was an ordinary player, but he can kill even a Level 10 NPC Bot. Do you think I will stand aside and let that happen?"
"It would be bad if he joins the Rosette Guild and revenge on us, wouldn't it?"
"We have to get all his equipment and make his level lower when he is still a solo player. That will assure our guild's future, and we can have his equipment. It will make our guild stronger."
The vice president of the Tyrant Guild pondered, then he nodded, "Yes, president. Your decision sounds great. Well, a potential enemy is not something we fear. The guilds have been bullying solo players. It's normal."
"However, we should suppress solo players who are too powerful. But, can't you recruit him into our guild instead?"
The vice president thought of a better aspect. Instead of just showing the solo player who was in power, they might as well make him their member.
They might gain a powerful player if they recruited him to the Tyrant Guild. It would be beneficial to them. The solo player's equipment will be public equipment to the guild too.
Even if the solo player hid some top-secret information, he would have to reveal it sooner or later. The secret would remain with the Tyrant Guild even if the solo player didn't want to share it with them. Other guilds would not be able to get anything out of him!
Tyrant Knight shook his heart, "I know what you're thinking. That player won't agree."
"Moreover, he will definitely choose the Rosette Guild instead of us. Just gather our men and slay him."
The vice president stopped persuading the president and contacted their members.
"President, I've contacted thirty members with the best combat effectiveness and asked another two to cover for us. Other guilds will no doubt we are up to something at all. They will be waiting for us in the jungle. Are we going to go to him now?"
"Yes, we set off now. That guy has good equipment. Otherwise, he won't be able to fight against a Level-10 bot so easily."
Tyrant Knight led the vice president and left discreetly. He had arranged another administrator to be in charge of the guild while he and the vice president was on a quest.
The members of the guild did not ask where their leader was heading.
The other guilds wouldn't always spy on the other guilds either. After all, they were still in the novice village and were still in the development stage. They didn't have a grudge against each other, so none of them would start a war unless they were on a quest of slaying NPCs.
Meanwhile, Su Jin kept his guard up when he entered the Blackwater Cave.
Su Jin was focusing on the hidden quest at the moment. He had no idea that the Tyrant Guild was coming for him now with 30 players because he bought the wild boar tusks.
The Blackwater Cave was very humid. The sound of dripping water echoed inside. It was distinctive because of the dead silence in the cave.
Su Jin had been walking for a while and had not discovered any NPC Bots yet.
Those demonic spiders seemed to appear only in the outer layer of the Blackwater Cave.
Wearing his demonic boots, Su Jin stepped on the wet soil. He held his sword and walked step by step, deeper into the cave as he observed the situation around him.
According to the village chief, there should be a powerful monster here. However, the light was dim, and the situation was unclear. So, Su Jin decided to be more careful.
Su Jin didn't want his plan to go wrong.
The three players, who were members of the Tyrant Guild, sneaked up to him. They kept themselves hidden and communicated by typing.
"This doesn't look like a place to fight NPCs. I don't see any monsters."
"Yeah! That guy came here all of a sudden."
"That means that this is our chance. He is doomed. I've given our president his location. Maybe we can get something from this guy today."
The three of them quickly typed and communicated before moving closer to Su Jin silently.
Another two minutes passed.
Su Jin had already arrived at the deepest part of the Blackwater Cave. An enormous blue-eyed spider was resting on the spider web.
It had a body length of five to six meters and eight spider legs of three meters long. The attack range of this monster was vast. Moreover, there were black hairs on the spider legs. Those hairs were poisonous.
The eight blue spider eyes tensed up the atmosphere, giving out a domineering aura.
Su Jin sneaked closer and tapped on the Blue-eyed Spider's attribute panel.

Description: The Blue-eyed Spider is the lord of the Blackwater Cave. It has absorbed the dark energy and dominated the surrounding area.
The Blue-eyed Spider was a monster tough to defeat.
The Blue-eyed Spider had 3,150,000 points, about three times the Wild Boar King's HP. Although its attack power was not strong, it was poisonous, and its defense was high. The defense skill of 120 was not easy for anyone to penetrate through it, except for Su Jin. Only Su Jin could defeat it.
Moreover, its last two skills, Spiderweb and Rapid Reproduction were range damage and summoning damage. Not only that, Su Jin would have to face the eight spider legs if he wanted to fight in a close combat mode.
The Blue-eyed Spider's close combat skill, ranged attack skill, and coverage ability was powerful, leaving no chance for players to defeat it.
Su Jin pondered, thinking of a way to defeat the monster.
If he kept activating his talent and using his skills, he had a chance to slay it. However, he needed to restore his health in the middle of the fight, but he would not have time to do so.
The Blue-eyed monster might slay Su Jin easily if he fought it the hard way.
Losing experience was a small matter after being slain. It would be terrible if Su Jin lost his equipment. The New World Game had a small rate probability of drawing good equipment. It was already lucky for Su Jin to get that few pieces of equipment he owned.
"What should I do? The best way is to make someone my shield. But who will do that for me?"
Su Jin did not want to go near the Blue-eyed Spider recklessly. He stood in the distance and muttered to himself. Names ran through his mind, and he realized no one could do that for him.
He might have to sacrifice something if he asked the help of the people he knew. The last thing he wanted was to share the rewards he got with others.
