The scene before him caused Gu Chen's face to change slightly, a subconscious expression of solemnity forming.
Thousands of spider eggs evoked an instinctive sense of discomfort and oppression.
He'd only seen them in guides before, and hadn't felt anything particularly profound. But now, experiencing them in person, his scalp tingled.
"That's right, these must be the eggs of the Tarsal Evil Spider."
Xu Xia gestured for everyone to retreat, then lowered his voice and said, "Keep quiet. If we make any noise here, the Tarsal Evil Spider will emerge from its eggs and attack us."
As he finished speaking, Lin Yuan and the others retreated, a chill running down their spines as they gazed at the countless spider eggs within the nest.
"The guide says there's an elite Tarsal Evil Spider near the nest. If we kill it in the cave outside, we can pass through without disturbing the eggs."
"So, we can retreat—"
Xu Xia paused mid-sentence, seeing the dense swarm of vampire spiders already charging into the cave.
He turned his head, instinctively glancing at Gu Chen, only to see his eyes gleaming with undisguised excitement.
Retreat first?
Thousands of spider eggs in the cave?
No, no, no, that's tens of thousands of experience points!
This is nature's gift.
In a matter of moments, a hundred vampire spiders filled the nest. At his command, they all exploded.
Boom!
With a deafening roar, a raging bloody flame erupted from the nest, illuminating the entire place with a blinding brilliance.
The self-detonation of a second-level vampire deals 5,000 damage, ten 50,000, and a hundred 500,000.
In this nearly airtight nest, the damage from the explosion was maximized.
The bloody flames transformed into a sea of inferno, surging throughout the nest. Countless spider eggs, numbing to the bone, were instantly engulfed in the blast, reduced to ash in the terrifying bloody flames.
"There's even such a thing?" Lin Yuan's jaw dropped in astonishment.
Although he'd known for a while that vampires could self-destruct, he'd never considered using it in this situation, let alone Gu Chen's ability to self-destruct a hundred vampires at once.
"This is terrifying! The damage is even more devastating than an elemental mage's forbidden spell!"
"No, a second-level elemental mage couldn't even cast such a terrifying forbidden spell." Xu Xia's eyes widened, completely impressed.
"It's not terrifying, it's outrageous!"
Lin Qingqing said, "Don't forget, only a hundred vampire spiders entered the nest just now. This means that Master Gu Chen could unleash another explosion of this magnitude."
"Ah, this—" Su Ran suddenly realized, her cherry lips slightly parted, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
Gu Chen was now feeling refreshed, a sense of clarity and clarity emanating from his entire body.
As the saying goes, when you're poor, you can protect yourself; when you're rich, you can blow yourself up.
He'd considered using this tactic back in the Boneyard, but the number of vampires was limited, and the damage from the self-destructions wasn't very high.
Now, not only were their numbers increased, but so was the damage.

While the experience points were small, they rose steadily, wave after wave.
Soon, the power of the explosion gradually weakened.
After the bloody flames died down, the entire lair was almost unrecognizable, the ground covered with the corpses of Tarsal Evil Spiders, piled like a mountain.
However, a small number of Tarsal Evil Spiders still survived the explosion, and even a large number of Tarsal Evil Spiders emerged from hidden corners.
Instead of fleeing, these spiders madly rushed towards Gu Chen and the others outside the lair.
"Have these aliens gone mad?" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.
Surviving the devastating blow, they bravely rushed forward again, fearlessly. This was a complete suicide attack!
"These low-level aliens probably have no thoughts, only attack instincts, trying to use their sheer numbers to wear us down," Xu Xia said nearby.
"That's perfect! The more of them come, the more experience we gain." Gu Chen was very pleased.
For the spider aliens, numbers are their advantage, but against Gu Chen, that advantage vanished.
The more spider aliens came, the faster Gu Chen leveled up.
After killing four or five hundred Tarsal Evil Spiders, Gu Chen's level rose to 21.

"Finally leveled up." Gu Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Actually, his current leveling speed is much faster than that of ordinary professionals, but because he leveled up so smoothly earlier, it's now incredibly slow for him.
Without further ado, he activated his talent.
[You have obtained: Dark Bloodline - First Generation]
First generation bloodline!
Another first generation bloodline!
Gu Chen was deeply frustrated, almost vomiting blood. So, the King Bloodline is no longer available, right?
Why is it so difficult to get a royal bloodline?
Fortunately, although this time it is a first-generation bloodline, the Nightmare Lord is already an epic five-star, which is just right for advancement to the legendary level.
Then, Gu Chen gave this first-generation bloodline to the Nightmare Lord.
