Chapter 321 - Careless Morrie
The old woman’s face on the ghost-face poisonous tarantula was furious at this point. In a flash of green light, a large amount of green poison shot out from its body. Although it could not avoid the spirit wolves attack, those spirit wolves did not have a good time as well. Despite being highly resilient to poison, they would still take a big hit since the ghost-face poisonous tarantula’s poison was some of the densest ones out there.
After the ghost-face poisonous tarantula was struck by the spirit wolves’ claws, it’s body began to fall as it was twitching in mid-air. The poison in its body continued to scatter. Although the 4 spirit wolves down below already began to flash, they were still hit with the pouring poison before they got the chance to disappear.
“Bastard!” Lady Marian and Lady Muriel yelled with a broken heart. Those spirit wolves were their summons.
The moment the tarantula landed on the ground, it knew it was not safe. But, before it even got the chance to climb back up the tree, the poison creepers were already well prepared underground.
6 Poison Creepers grabbed hold of the ghost-face poisonous tarantula. Almost in an instant, they were all filled with green. Since they all liked playing with poison, now they were injecting each other with their strongest dose.
“Volcano explosion!” Lady Carrie yelled.
Abel quickly retrieved his Poison Creeper with his power of the will, and the other ladies did the same, leaving only Lady Carrie’s Poison Creeper to play with the ghost-face poisonous tarantula.
Lady Carrie’s Poison Creeper was the highest level out of the bunch, and it was immune to Lady Carrie’s spells. The others were not the same, so the reason she had yelled was to remind everyone to retrieve their Poison Creepers.
The ground underneath the ghost-face poisonous tarantula began to crack, and ocean amounts of lava rushed towards it. The ghost-face poisonous tarantula was screaming and twitching in agony. The old woman’s face on its body was burned crisp as it appeared and disappeared amongst the lava. Finally, the scream faded into the sizzling sound of lava.
The spell slowly faded, the lava disappeared into thin air like how it appeared out of nowhere. Other than the Poison Creeper, the patch of grass in that area was fully blackened.
It seemed like the tarantula was still alive since it continued to twitch on top of the Poison Creeper. Just when Lady Carrie was preparing for a second spell, Black Wind’s shadow had already flashed to the side of the ghost-face poisonous tarantula, and Abel directly penetrated its skull with the Jade Tan Do.
Almost at an instant, the skull of the ghost-face poisonous tarantula turned green. Since it was already exhausted trying to escape from the Poison Creeper, it’s life force had now completely faded.
“Bennett, you just stole our beast!” Lady Morrie jumped off Lady Carrie’s dire wolf and said with her arms on her waist.
“Morrie, Bennett did the right thing! If I unleashed another spell, maybe all of our rewards would’ve burned up.” Said Lady Carrie smiling strength Lady Morrie.
A powerful spell could not only damage a beast’s body, but it could also damage their crystal core, so it was best to avoid killing it this way.
“I’ll forgive you!” Lady Morrie gazed at Abel and excitedly ran to the side of the ghost-face poisonous tarantula. She took out a blade, ready to take out her reward.
“Careful!” Abel suddenly felt something wrong. Black Wind immediately dashed out, and Abel grabbed Lady Morrie on the waist. At that exact moment, the dead body of that ghost-face poisonous tarantula began to crack, and a large amount of green blood and flesh flew out. Under the gaze of all the other ladies, Black Wind turned into a black strike of lighting, and in a split of a second, it was already hundreds of meters away with Abel holding Lady Morrie.
Abel held Lady Morrie tightly in his arms, shielding her from the green flesh of the ghost-face poisonous tarantula. Before he even had the chance to unleash his combat with armor, he could already feel countless little poisonous chunks of meat striking his back. Afterward, a huge shockwave knocked him on the ground, but Lady Morrie was perfectly protected during this entire process.
Luckily Abel’s body was extremely strong. Even though he was knocked to the ground, nothing could penetrate his body other than some extremely sharp objects. In regards to the poison, he was totally immune to it with the Jade Tan Do in his hand. He just felt a little disgusted by it at most.
Even without the Jade Tan Do, Abel’s body could deal with poison quite well. He was poisoned and still survived. Now with the 0% maximum poison resistance and 95% anti-poison attribute of the Jade Tan To, Abel was basically totally immune to all kinds of poison.
Abel slowly let go of Lady Morrie. By this point, her face was fully red. As soon as Abel let go, she ran back towards Lady Carrie.
“Bennett, quickly eat some poison antidote. And all of you, quickly get some water to wash the poison off him. Don’t let the poison penetrate his skin!” Lady Carrie commanded.
The ladies quickly rushed up to Abel and splashed the water in their portal bag on Abel’s body; the scene was chaotic. Abel did not eat any poison antidote. Instead, he just took out a large tube filled with clean from his portal bracelet and dived in. Almost immediately, all the poison on his body was washed off.
“Portal bracelet?” By this point, Abel’s portal bracelet had attracted the attention of the ladies. How big of a portal bracelet must it be to store such a big tube?
“My friend gave it to me. You know, I have quite a lot of friends as a Master Alchemist!” Abel said carelessly. Since he had prepared a large amount of stuff for this adventure, he already expected them to ask about his portal bracelet.
“Those suborn dwarfs will only let people who they call brothers use their portal bracelets. They said they would not sell it no matter what!” By this point, even the shy Lady Jenny had spoken up.
“Bennett, do you have many tubes of water?” Unlike the others, Lady Carrie knew Abel was a Blacksmith Master, so it was not surprising he got one of those portal bracelets from the dwarfs. She was much more interested in his tube of water.
“Yeah, so I got something to use even though we are out of water!” Abel replied awkwardly. He was not sure why Lady Carrie would ask this question.
“Yeah, Bennett, why didn’t you tell us you have so much water earlier!” Lady Marian gazed at Abel with dissatisfaction.
“Do you have 5 more tubes?” Lady Muriel then asked in excitement.
“Yes, I do!” Abel replied with a nod, but he didn’t know why those ladies were so excited.
“Amazing! We can take showers!” Yelled Lady Morrie as she stuck her head out of the back of Lady Carrie. By this point, the redness on her face had faded, but when she saw Abel looking at her, she started blushing and immediately hid behind Lady Carrie again.
“Morrie, you won’t be this lucky every time. I told you to be careful many times, and you are still this careless!” Lady Carrie turned around and said to Lady Morrie with a straight face.
Lady Morrie carefully glimpsed at Lady Carrie’s gaze. Lady Carrie was actually angry this time, so she said with her head looking down, “Sorry captain. I will remember to be careful next time!”
“Bennett had just saved your life, should you thank him?” Lady Carrie proceeded to ask.
After a bit of dawdle, Lady Morrie gathered up her courage and said with a bow, “Thank you, Bennett!”
“No worries. I’m a part of the defense; it’s my duty!” Said Abel looking at Lady Carrie with a funny look. How come this weird elf had suddenly turned into a shy blushing elf.
“Captain, let’s find a place to rest now!” Since the ladies realized they could take a shower, they all lost their motivation to move forward.
