Chapter 33: Equipment Item Levels: Spider Nest!

As expected!
Seeing its prey trying to escape, the black-green great serpent, with its limited intelligence, clearly couldn't tell this was a deliberate act.
The black-green great serpent reared back, its upper body coiling like a spring before it shot forward to bite at Tang Zheng.
An opportunity!
Tang Zheng's eyes lit up; this was the exact move he had been waiting for.
He swung the iron sword in his hand, gripping it in a reverse hold. Like a javelin, he aimed for the great serpent's open mouth and threw it with all his might.
Thud!
The astonishing force behind the iron sword's impact exploded in the air.
The iron sword accurately pierced through the black-green great serpent's mouth, spewing a large amount of white mucus and red blood, mixed with bits of flesh that splattered all over the ground.
"Hiss! Roar!"
The black-green great serpent's body fell from mid-air, twisting and writhing as it let out painful hisses.
Thump! Thump!
Its thick tail thrashed about from the intense pain, randomly striking the surrounding trees and creating loud, booming sounds.
Watching the black-green great serpent twitch in agony with its head pierced through, a grin touched Tang Zheng's lips, and he took a few steps back.
He silently waited for the black-green great serpent to die.
Since its scales were hard and slippery, the only way was to attack from its soft interior.
It struggled for about two or three minutes.
The black-green great serpent, which had been writhing on the ground, gradually stopped moving and lay motionless.
[Obtained 150 experience points]
Current experience: 421/1000.
"Not bad."
A smile appeared on Tang Zheng's face. He then got up and walked toward the black-green great serpent. With the experience notification, there was no need to worry about it playing dead.
Finding the iron sword on the ground, covered in mucus and blood, Tang Zheng's eyes showed a hint of disgust.
From his item box, he retrieved the yellowed, stiff paper he had previously created with a magic scroll. After wiping the sword clean, he picked it up again.
"The scales of this black-green great serpent should be good for crafting armor."
Tang Zheng scanned the six-meter-long serpent. Aside from the severe damage to its head, its body was relatively well-preserved.
However, Tang Zheng had little interest in crafting armor.
With the craftsmanship mastered by humans in this otherworld, the best armor they could produce would only reach the [High Class] level.
Instead of that, Tang Zheng might as well put in some effort to see if he could acquire the legacy of the Eight Greed Kings or the Six Great Gods.
In the game YGGDRASIL, equipment and items were divided into ten levels.
[Lowest Grade] Level 1-10
[Low Class] Level 11-20
[Middle Class] Level 21-30
[High Class] Level 31-40
[Top Class] Level 41-50
[Legacy Class] Level 51-60
[Relic Class] Level 61-70
[Legendary Class] Level 71-80
[Divine Class] Level 81-90
[Guild Weapon] Level 91-100
Of course, above these ten levels, there were also items that exceeded normal specifications called "World Items," which were in a category of their own.
To contend with the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Tang Zheng would need at least one piece of Divine-class equipment.
"Selling it should fetch a good price."
Tang Zheng reached out and touched the black-green great serpent's corpse. With a thought, he stored it in his item box.
He had made a lot of noise.
However, this area was the black-green great serpent's territory, so it was unlikely to attract other magical beasts right away.
Tang Zheng continued eastward.
The Great Forest of Tob surrounded the Angelicisia Mountain Range, forming a massive, "U"-shaped primeval jungle 120km long and about 40km wide.
Carne Village was located somewhere near the center. Given the forest's pervasive obstacles and the constant threat of attack, Tang Zheng felt it would take him some time to reach the troll territory.
Before he knew it, it was midday.
Tang Zheng took a pocket watch and a map from his item box, checked the time and his general location, then put them back.
"I've covered about a third of the way. A bit slower than expected. I need to pick up the pace."
Tang Zheng let out a breath, having no intention of stopping. He took out some black bread, stuffing it into his mouth as he continued to advance.
A whole morning had passed.
Aside from killing the black-green great serpent, his item box now also contained three wild boar carcasses and five giant pythons, each about five meters long.
Of course, there were also some small snakes, beasts, and poisonous insects. Since they were merely wild animals, the experience they gave was low, and Tang Zheng didn't bother storing them.
After all, they had no value as food, nor would they sell for much.
As for the two corpses of the Eight Fingers members, Tang Zheng had thrown them somewhere in the jungle not long after entering the forest.
By now, the corpses should have been almost completely eaten by wild beasts.
He glanced at the dense jungle ahead.
Tang Zheng deliberately increased his pace, creating a greater commotion as he moved through the forest.
He wondered if it was this bold behavior that made some beasts more wary. The hidden animals in the woods showed no signs of attacking him.
This came as a surprise to Tang Zheng.
He realized he shouldn't have been so cautious from the start. After all, the wild beasts were no match for him, and the experience they yielded was extremely low. To him, they were worthless.
Swish!
Tang Zheng swung his iron sword, hacking through the foliage and shrubs in front of him to clear a path.
Overhead, the dense leaves of the towering trees intertwined, and the forest's gloomy environment created a subtle sense of oppression.
Suddenly!
A faint sound came from his left.
Tang Zheng's ears twitched. He halted his advance and retreated to evade.
Whoosh!
A white strand of spider silk, as thick as a little finger, shot past him and stuck to a nearby tree.
"A spider?" Tang Zheng quickly looked to his left, toward the source of the silk.
On a branch where leaves intertwined!
A spider the size of a washbasin was hanging upside down. It was an earthy gray color, with purple markings on its abdomen and eight sharp, nimble legs.
The white silk had come from it.
"A Gallows Spider?" Tang Zheng's expression changed slightly when he saw the gray spider.
He had bought information about the Great Forest of Tob from the Adventurer's Guild, which specifically mentioned this type of spider.
It was a creature that even a gold-rank adventurer team would find extremely troublesome!
It wasn't that the monster spider itself was particularly strong, but its appearance meant that a large number of Gallows Spiders were nearby.
Rustle! Rustle!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Almost as soon as the thought formed, a continuous rustling sound came from the dense leaves all around, followed by strands of white silk shooting toward Tang Zheng from all directions!
Tang Zheng dodged the incoming silk and broke into a run.
These spiders clearly had no intention of letting him go!
Using the silk they spat, the spiders slid rapidly along the strands on their sharp legs, one after another giving chase.
In the blink of an eye, a large, dense swarm gathered behind him, exuding a creepy and terrifying aura.
Tang Zheng glanced behind him, his eye twitching!
