Farming Games are All About Grinding-Chapter 282 - 274: Frosty Spider Fuzz

[Frostbite Giant Spider]

[Level: 60]

[Attack Methods: Whip Strike, Ice Web, Stab, Wrap]

[Description: Exceptional close combat skills]

The Frostbite Giant Spider was over 5 meters long, exuding an intimidating aura, its body glazed with a layer of icy crystals. As it spotted Han Qiwu dodging, it launched a stream of icy spider silk in his direction.

This icy spider silk could freeze the victim upon contact, boasting extremely strong restrictiveness.

"Whoosh!"

Already prepared, Han Qiwu sharply sidestepped at a right angle, slashing with the Soft Blade to sever the silk, and shouted, "Little Spark, aerial suppression!"

"Chirp chirp!"

Little Spark in midair squeezed out a bolt of lightning with full force, striking downwards while darting away erratically to evade the spider’s retaliatory leg strikes.

Little Spark: "I’m exhausted!"

Han Qiwu took two steps back and raised his right hand, starting to charge up the explosive skill of his Flame Ring.

The air in front of him gradually became agitated, emanating a faint burnt smell.

Seconds later, Han Qiwu seized the opportunity, called Little Spark to retreat, and hurled a fireball with all his strength, immediately equipping the Paralysis Thorn in front of him for defense.

Little Spark, seeing the situation, quickly flew to Han Qiwu’s side and hid behind him.

"Boom boom boom!"

Countless shards of ice splintered in the air, blending with flames as they rained down on the ground, significantly increasing the humidity in the environment.

After some time, Han Qiwu cautiously tossed Little Spark out and instructed, "Check the scene. If there’s no major danger, chirp twice to confirm."

"Chirp chirp!"

Little Spark chirped twice helplessly.

Han Qiwu put away the Paralysis Thorn, picked up his ice club, and stepped forward to inspect the surroundings.

At this point, the Frostbite Giant Spider was in a miserable state, more than half of its eight legs gone, its body marred with burns, and blood dripping continuously from its wounds.

Han Qiwu wasn’t about to show mercy. Leaping into the air with his ice club, he smashed it hard against the spider’s skull.

As the strike connected, utilizing the recoil, Han Qiwu spun midair, landing on a nearby rock wall and narrowly dodging the spider’s final, desperate counterattack.

Soon, the Frostbite Giant Spider disintegrated into white light, leaving behind its loot.

[Ice Web]

[Frostbite Spider Leg]

[Rune Blessing—Extra Drop: Frostbite Spider Fur]

"Another extra drop?"

[Frostbite Spider Fur]

[Usage: Fertilizer]

[Effect—Fertility: Frostbite Spider Fur can enhance the fertility of snowy environments]

[Note: Simply bury it in the snow, but watch your step to avoid getting pricked]

"Fertilizer? This thing is fertilizer?" Han Qiwu looked at the irregularly sized pile of icy blue spider fur before him, confused.

Oh well, whatever it is.

Bury it and be done with it.

Just perfect for fertilizing the Ice Mushrooms.

The first drop, the Ice Web, could also be used to expand Snow Paradise.

The Frostbite Giant Spider was truly a treasure trove.

Feeling a bit greedy, Han Qiwu mined away while intentionally making noise, hoping to attract a few more.

Unfortunately...

By the time he had dug out a staircase leading to the next level, no second Frostbite Giant Spider had appeared.

Ah, it seems fate wasn’t on his side.

Checking the time, Han Qiwu decided to wrap up this mining trip.

The haul was already decent; time to head home and make use of it.

Time to scram.

[You have arrived at Mine Level 65]

[Cable Car Level Recorded]

Before his vision even cleared, Han Qiwu first heard the sound of water flowing in an underground ice river.

"Time to fish for some Ice River Whitefish again."

Once his vision returned, Han Qiwu prepared to approach the riverbank when a small black object suddenly entered his sight.

The small object was an irregular multi-faceted shape, about the size of a milk carton, hopping away from Han Qiwu towards the distance.

"What the heck is that? Black as coal," Han Qiwu muttered curiously. It was his first time seeing a living creature at a cable car record level.

Could it be that the rules for these layers had changed?

Forget it, first catch it and check it out.

Slipping on sandals, Han Qiwu gave chase.

After running for about ten seconds, he realized the small creature was faster than him.

He couldn’t keep up.

"Little Spark! Block its path up ahead!" Han Qiwu released Little Spark and resumed his pursuit.

For now, he wasn’t planning to use his Mystic Crossbow Arrow.

What if it wasn’t a monster? Killing it outright would be a pity.

Besides, there was no chance of losing track of it.

He wasn’t sure what this small black object was, but it left a trail of black smudges wherever it bounced, making it easy to follow.

In a combined effort of encirclement by Han Qiwu and Little Spark, the little black creature was cornered in a dead end and nervously charged towards Han Qiwu.

Since the creature’s movement involved landing and then dashing diagonally, it managed to hit Han Qiwu before he could block.

"Hiss—"

Han Qiwu felt a sharp pain in his shoulder, and a large black stain immediately appeared on his clothes.

[Coal Spirit]

[Level: 50]

[Attack Methods: Collision, Corruption]

[Note: Only high-quality coal can transform into a Coal Spirit]

Han Qiwu glanced at its stats, patted his clothes a couple of times, and found that the stain couldn’t be wiped off.

"So it is a small fry monster, huh? Coal Spirit? What a dirty fighting style!"

Gripping his ice club, Han Qiwu swung it down hard onto the Coal Spirit.

"Clang!"

To his surprise, the Coal Spirit shattered on impact, scattering pieces all over the ground.

"Seriously???"

"Not even a white light???" freewёbnoνel-com

"Could it be some kind of freebie mob?"

Han Qiwu bent down to pick up the fragments from the ground and was amazed to find that every piece was actual coal.

One Coal Spirit dropped a total of six pieces of coal.

"Now that’s interesting." Han Qiwu grew intrigued, slipping back into his sandals and following the trail of black smudges on the ground to search for more.

Half an hour later, Han Qiwu’s inventory held 32 pieces of coal.

"If there’s a Coal Spirit, could there also be Copper Spirits or Iron Spirits?" Han Qiwu mused as he made his way toward the riverbank.

Unfortunately, these creatures were living beings and couldn’t be located using the Snowman Miner’s resource detection feature; he’d have to rely on luck.

Refocusing, Han Qiwu searched the riverbank for a while but found no mineable areas.

However, he discovered a fracture in the ice over the river, perfect for fishing Ice River Whitefish for a while.

He took out Red Dawn, aimed, and cast his fishing line with force.

"Splash."

The hook plunged into the water, ripples spreading outward.

Twenty minutes later, staring at a massive ice block slowly drifting toward him, Han Qiwu sighed and reeled in Red Dawn.

Can’t I fish in peace for once?

Once I get stronger, I’m going to shatter every single one of these damn ice blocks!

With upgraded Lightning Skills and Red Dawn, fishing for Ice River Whitefish had become much easier. In twenty minutes, Han Qiwu managed to catch seven of them, a decent haul.

Turning around, Han Qiwu decided to take the cable car back.

Just then, dozens of pale yellow lights flickered across the opposite riverbank, gracefully skimming over the water like something out of a dream.

"Could they be fireflies? But with it this cold, they can’t be ordinary fireflies." Eyeing their landing spot, Han Qiwu ran ahead to intercept them.

Time to camp by the river for some bugs!
