"Sword Spider?" The candidate was in an uproar.

Compared with the violent spider, although the sword spider is much smaller and slightly less powerful, it is difficult to have a chance to leave alive as long as it enters their nest. Once bitten, the venom with decomposition effect will destroy the muscle tissue. Even if it can escape by chance, it will not be able to escape the bad luck of paralysis.

"It's okay... it's okay..." Kemer murmured to himself.

Although the sword spider has thick skin and thick flesh, it is not particularly difficult to deal with. With the strength of their mercenary group, it is more than enough to deal with it.

"It's time to choose. Go forward, advance to the next level. Or return to Mivera and take the exam six years later." Eric finished speaking, and the candidates' complaints also rang out.

However, no matter how much you complain, you only choose to give up. The strongest group has no one to withdraw, and more than ten people in the second and third groups have chosen to return to Mivela Town. They are all afraid of the poison of the sword spider and do not want to become a famous person, so they become disabled first.

Victor was the first to walk towards the spider monster's nest. Looking at the thinner back of an ordinary man, some bold people also took steps. One after another, most of the candidates joined the forward team.

The black spider web is easy to distinguish during the day, and everyone carefully avoids it, but even so, it still alarmed the sword spider hiding in the nest.

"It's out!"

Someone shouted, and the crowd began to panic. He didn't bother to observe the ground while running. In just a short while, several people stepped on the spider web.

"Boss!"

Saran pulled Evan hard and asked Kemer, who was not far away, for help. His legs were entangled in spider silk and could not break free.

"Two fools!" The commander cursed, took out the flint from his carry-on backpack, and gently brushed Saran's legs with a lit torch. The heat of the flame quickly eliminated the toughness of the spider silk.

"No common sense at all..." Kemer's eyes were attracted by a woman not far away, not because the woman had a shocking appearance, but because she was holding a small crossbow that could be put into her pocket of clothes, aiming at the celebrity in this exam - Victor Wood.

"bass!"

In the chaos, only the small arrows with palms ran through the air and were about to pierce into the target's back. The young mage seemed to have eyes on his back. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he held the extremely fast arrow in his hand.

Kemer was shocked by this scene.

It was not that he had never seen a strong man who had taken arrows with bare hands, but that he had seen a mage so smoothly, as if he was holding a sharp arrow that was rushing towards him, but his own staff. He grasped the time exactly and seemed very skillful.

Vina lowered her curse and quickly hid behind other candidates.

Although she was 10 meters away, she could still feel the man's cold vision, which penetrated the candidates along the way and fell on her. But beyond Vina's expectations, Victor did not fight back.

"Do you want to take action?" Eric asked his immediate boss, who is the invigilator: "After all, these sword spiders are not what we arranged..."

Buffy shook his head: "No. Although it was not arranged by the guild, it was also a test. If they were all fools that even sword spiders could not deal with, there would be no need to absorb them."

"But...the candidates are all..." Eric's words stopped Buffy's reproachful eyes.

"Some words cannot be said." Buffy also knew that the candidates who were really selected this time were mediocre qualifications, or people with no great threats. Everything was made to protect that person. If it weren't for the sudden whim to take the exam, the Shadow Guild wouldn't have been able to get the opportunity to participate.

Spider silk is afraid of fire and it will break as soon as it is burned. However, facing the newly spider silk spidered out by the sword spider, most candidates quickly fell into a dilemma of fatigue and being surrounded.

"Don't disperse everyone!" A young voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "The smaller the number, the easier it is to become the target of attack."

A group of blonde young men held a long stick with huge red gems at the tip. With a light wave, a hot flame immediately spurted out from the head of the casket carved into a drip-shaped stick, burning a sword spider trying to get close to it into a barbecue meal.

Other mages followed suit, but unfortunately they killed a few sword spiders, so they hid back into the nest and only fought back with spider silk.

As the two sides went back and forth, they soon fell into a protracted war. Someone tried to go around the back of the sword spider's nest and attack the creatures hiding inside, but the small yellow-brown mound was really strong. Even if ordinary weapons were stabbed in, they would be stuck by the spider silk covering the top layer of the nest.

The number of spider monsters has far more nests than that of mages. In a short while, the human side could not support it first.

"It's not a solution to continue like this. I can't hold on anymore." Daleid of the Kemer Mercenary Corps was the first mage to feel overdrawn in magic.

The magic of the mage is limited, and ordinary candidates will not carry too many torches or lighting equipment. Once it is burned, everyone will be finished.

"The spider monster has a strong domain and will not easily stay away from its nest. As long as it can leave this area, it will be safe. The examiner also said that as long as we "pass" this area, we will pass the level." Dalid didn't want to be buried in the spider's belly without passing the first level.

[Use Firewall.] After listening to the intern’s proposal, Victor wrote a spell name.

"Impossible, there are too many people..." Dalid almost immediately refuted the Lich's idea.

More than a hundred people, how big is the casting range?

[Did I say I want to go all together?] Victor, who lacks tension, still maintains his usual indifference even in such a critical moment.

"Do you have any good suggestions?" asked a polite question by the blonde young man who was in the same group as Victor.

[Yes, yes, but I don't think it will be successful.] The affirmative tone made the people around me unable to help asking why.

[This plan requires the cooperation of everyone. Since the proportion of mages accounts for a very small number of total numbers, people have to be taken out of the area where spider monsters are occupied twice. This will lead to new problems. Everyone does not want to stay for the second batch, because they are worried that they will be abandoned, and they are afraid that the mage's magic will not be maintained for the second escort.]

The red font slowly dissipated in the air, and no one refuted Victor's words, because that was exactly what they were worried about.

"I'll stay, the second group will go." The blonde young man spoke calmly, and his companion Sarach immediately shouted.

"No, you can't..." Soon, the rebuttal voice disappeared under sharp gaze.

[I also stayed, and protecting the remaining people needed a mage. It was enough to escort the first group of people who left, and there was no shortage of me.] Victor was not righteous and wanted to save people. There was a more important reason for his choice to stay because he believed that this was not a measure of "physical constitution" at all, but a test of teamwork ability.

Eric and the goatee-bearded invigilator were still watching from a distance, leaving their sight, and perhaps the credit for "command and cooperation" would be snatched away.

The negotiation was completed quickly, and the three groups with poor strength left first, and the first and second groups remained.

Daleid and two other mages who could still support stood in a triangle, chanting the flame spell loudly, and the fire walls of fire surrounded the first group of people.

Although the speed of traveling was slow, this trick really worked. The spider silk spider spurted out by the sword spider had no advantage when it encountered the fire wall gathered by the high-hot spider spell. The candidates passed through the dense nest area of ​​spider monsters without any danger, and walked further and further towards the east of Davao Village.

Buffy looked at the fire wall slowly advancing towards Davao Village with a smile, and his tone was praised: "Although the qualifications of the candidates this time are very mediocre, after all, we can still find a few capable ones. Let's wait and see how many surprises they will bring."

※※※※※※※※※※※※

After leaving the spider monster area, the outline of a small building gradually appeared on the horizon. After getting closer, the candidates discovered that the so-called village was actually dilapidated and looked like it had been abandoned.

Vina stood among the crowd, her eyes staring at the village were a little complicated.

Although Davao is less than half a day away from Mivela, she rarely returns to this poor birthplace.

A hundred years ago, Davao was just a temporary residence for miners who mine crystals. At its peak, the number of miners here even exceeded the population of Mivela Town. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The mine tunnel dug down finally penetrated the ancient crypts, and the spider monsters swarmed out to drag the miners who had no ability to resist into the caves deep into the ground. At that time, the owner of the crystal mine invited many mercenaries and adventurers. Not only could he not eradicate the spider monsters, but also angered these creatures who had lived underground since ancient times. Hunting all the remaining miners like a massacre, and the mining of the crystal mines also stagnated. In order to ensure the safety of Mivela Town, the troops stationed in Mivela had to blow up the mine tunnels to ensure the safety of the town.

In order to prevent some profit-seeking merchants from continuing to mine crystal mines, the army claimed that the resources of the crystal mine had been exhausted. Without the only source of economic resources, Davao Village gradually lost its original liveliness, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled miners who did not want to move.

Although it has been abandoned, the underground mines have never lacked visitors. For example, adventurers who like to run around like to dive into well-connected underground networks to find treasures that do not exist.

Having had enough poverty, Vina left Davao Village at the age of sixteen. In Mivela town, she hired a job as a receptionist for the Adventure Guild with her pretty appearance. As she grew older, Vina gradually realized that it was not enough to just be an ordinary employee to get out of poverty.

After meeting Emma, ​​a doctor at the Alchemist, two women who were not young began to make plans for the future. Taking advantage of their position in the Adventure Guild, Vina also took over half-elf Feli. She has dark elf blood and is not popular anywhere, and she lives a wandering life all year round.

The little clever Vina uses Feli's bloodline to pretend to be the third-ranked killer of Taran. The frost wolf's reputation and the appearance of the dark elf have earned a salary that could not be saved in just a few months. At this time, simple tasks can no longer satisfy Vina, who is increasingly greedy, and she turns her attention to assassinating politicians and wealthy businessmen.

Victor Wood happened to receive the first major commission in the name of Frost Wolf, and the reward was 5,000 tarantini, and the additional requirement was to cut off the target's tongue.

Emma, ​​who is in the Alchemy Academy, secretly put a potion with a demon-sealing effect in Wood's diet. Because the dosage is very small, it is not easy to detect before it takes effect, so Wood did not understand when he was using the magic seal until his death. Next, Vina asked Fely to go to Buch Village and forced the village chief to write the emergency letter. When Wood was about to go to Jingyao, he tricked him back to the village.

After calculating the time when the potion occurred, everything was designed seamlessly without the disturbance of the villagers. Vina never expected that this assassination, which was perfect from planning to implementation, would eventually evolve into the current situation.
