Chapter 36 Warrior's Spider Silk Armor and Ghost Face Round Shield
"Pfft!"
Green slurry gushed out.
"hiss--!!!"
The ghost-faced spider struggled frantically, its eight long legs flailing wildly, severing the surrounding vines like sharp scythes.
"Come on, let's get it!"
Jiang Ming gripped the sword hilt tightly, pressing his entire body against the shield as he rode on the spider's back, as if taming a mad beast.
Wang Yang rushed forward with bloodshot eyes, and slashed down hard on one of the spider's legs with his Blazing Battle Axe.
"Snap!"
The bristly leg snapped off instantly, the break carbonized by the high temperature, emitting a burnt smell.
Li Bin also displayed remarkable composure at this moment. Instead of blindly attacking the hard carapace, he went around to the spider's tail and used a sharpened golf club to forcefully stab into its spinneret.
"Go to hell!"
This blow became the final straw that broke the camel's back.
The Ghost-Faced Spider convulsed violently, and its eight legs were eventually chopped off by Wang Yang.
Jiang Ming maintained his initial suppressive stance throughout.
[Successfully defeated the Spectral Spider (Lv.5)!]
[Gained 250 experience points!]
[Collectible materials detected: 1 venom sac of a Ghost-faced Spider, 3 pieces of tough spider silk, and 1 Ghost-faced carapace.]
Jiang Ming jumped off the corpse, shook off the green blood from the blade, and gasped for breath.
This battle was far more dangerous than fighting goblins.
If it weren't for their group attacking them, and the fact that this beast underestimated them, at least two of them would have been killed.
"Help...help me..."
On the tree trunk, Zhong Chengyu's roommate, who was stuck there, had turned purple. The spider web was so tight that his face was turning purple, and he seemed to be suffocating.
Jiang Ming strode over and carefully used his longsword, stained with poisoned blood, to sever several of the main load-bearing wires.
"Th-thank you..."
The other person collapsed to the ground, his crotch soaked.
Jiang Ming ignored him and turned to walk towards the corpse of the Ghost-Faced Spider.
He crouched down and used the tip of his sword to pick out a fist-sized, slightly pulsating dark green pouch.
[The venom sac of the masked spider (material)]
Jiang Ming's gaze swept back and forth between the poison sac and the golf club in Li Bin's hand.
The panel popped up again.
[Sharpened Golf Club] + [Ghost-faced Spider Venom Sac] = [Venomous Piercer (Green - Excellent Weapon)]
[Preview Attribute: Attacks inflict neurotoxins, causing localized paralysis and continuous damage after poisoning, with additional penetration bonus against soft tissue targets.]
"Old Li, come here."
Jiang Ming waved his hand, "Your troublemaking skills need an upgrade."
Li Bin was stunned for a moment, then ran over with great joy.
A few seconds later.
Li Bin was admiring the "venomous piercer" with its eerie green luster, like a child who had just received a new toy.
He said, "Green, high-quality weapons are truly fantastic!"
Jiang Ming didn't reply. Instead, he walked to the overturned electric scooter and took off the backpack that was tied to the seat with a rope.
As the zipper was unzipped, a stench of sweat and musty leather hit me.
Wang Yang pinched his nose and took two steps back.
"Old Jiang, is there a dead rat in your bag?"
Jiang Ming ignored the fat man's complaints and reached into his bag to pull out a wrinkled leather armor covered in patches.
This thing was originally a piece of junk that was plucked from the goblin warrior last night. It had pitifully low defense, was drafty, and smelled terrible.
Before leaving home this morning, Jiang Ming casually stuffed the few pelts he had peeled off yesterday into the holes in his leather armor and used his [Synthesis] ability to make simple repairs.
Although it was barely wearable, the grayish-white rat fur paired with the green leather armor made it look like something dug out of a garbage dump.
But it's different now.
Jiang Ming gently covered the surface of the leather armor with the ball of crystal-clear [Resilient Spider Silk] he had just collected.
On the retina, the pale blue data stream surged again.
[Goblin Warrior Leather Armor (Normal Armor)] + [Tough Spider Silk] = [???]
There is no need to hesitate.
Jiang Ming pressed the spider silk into the hole in the leather armor.
[Synthesis], Start.
This time, the light was more restrained, yet more profound, than when the weapon was synthesized earlier.
The originally rough and stiff goblin warrior leather armor began to soften and reassemble in the dim light.
The white spider silk, like living parasites, frantically burrowed into the texture of the leather armor, forcibly sewing up the damaged cracks and weaving a fine white mesh on the surface.
A few seconds later, the light faded.
A piece of close-fitting soft armor, grayish-black in color with faint white patterns flowing across its surface, appeared in Jiang Ming's hands.
The nauseating goblin stench disappeared, replaced by a faint, metallic smell.
[Warrior Spider Silk Armor (Green - Excellent Armor)]
[Attribute: Defense +6. Includes the special effects "Lightness" (30% weight reduction) and "Flexibility" (20% additional damage reduction from sharp weapons).]
[Note: Wearing this, you'll be the coolest and toughest guy in the jungle.]
Without saying a word, Jiang Ming took off his blood-stained sports jacket, put on the leather armor, and then put the blood-stained sports jacket back on.
The soft armor fit snugly against the skin and was surprisingly breathable. The muscles that were tense from the battle felt much more relaxed thanks to the coolness of the leather armor.
"It's not over yet."
Jiang Ming stretched his shoulders and his gaze fell on the [Black Iron Round Shield] in his left hand.
This shield played a crucial role in the battle just now; it should be combined with that hard spider shell.
Moreover, the surface of the round shield was covered with axe marks and dents, and the edges were even curled up.
Jiang Ming walked to the corpse of the Ghost-Faced Spider and looked at the hardest piece of shell, which was covered with a hideous ghost face pattern.
The shell was over thirty centimeters thick. Although it would take some time to remove it, its hardness left a deep impression on Jiang Ming.
[Black Iron Round Shield] + [Ghost Face Shell] = [???]
synthesis.
The black iron shield emitted a metallic, twisting groan.
It looked as if it had been thrown into a furnace, turning completely crimson.
Under the pressure of some kind of rule-based force, the demon-faced shell turned into a pool of grayish-white liquid, which slowly covered the surface of the shield.
Cooling, solidification.
The once plain and unadorned black iron round shield has now undergone a complete transformation.
The shield's diameter had been enlarged, and its surface was covered with a layer of grayish-white chitinous armor. The ferocious ghost face pattern in the center was lifelike, as if it might let out a shriek at any moment.
A ring of sharp bone spikes grows from the edge of the shield, which can both defend and cause tearing damage when counterattacking.
【Ghost Face Round Shield (Green - Excellent Armor)】
[Attribute: Defense +8.]
[Special Effect 1: Fearful Gaze (The attacked person has a 20% chance of being stunned into fear for 3 seconds).]
[Special Effect 2: Reflection (When a block is successful, 15% of the physical impact force is reflected back to the attacker.)]
[Note: Don't stare at it for too long, unless you want to have nightmares after you fall asleep.]
