Chapter 819 Spoils of War
With a clean slash, the Nether Poison Queen was killed.
Its colossal body collapsed with a loud bang and lay on the ground.
Zena and the others quickly gathered around, looking excitedly at the spider's corpse.
"What decisive swordsmanship. It's just so powerful."
"The Blackwood Forest has existed for a long time, but no one dares to enter this forest."
"In the past, a few teams were bold enough to do so and thought that wealth came from danger. However, after entering, they've gone missing."
"All along, in our eyes, this place has always been a forbidden land. I didn't expect you to break that taboo."
Zena smiled excitedly.
The Nether Poison Queen was so mighty that defeating her was near impossible. The treasures hidden behind such a ferocious beast must be incomparably precious.
Lu Yu swung his Star Piercing Demonic Sword and split the Nether Poison Queen's body into two.
They saw a pearl that was shining with a strange luster.
It was a purple orb made of a glass-like material that contained a mysterious force inside it.
After picking up the pearl, Lu Yu weighed it in his hand. The pearl was average in weight, but he could feel the pool of energy contained in it.
"I will take this. You guys can split the remaining."
The remaining parts of the Nether Poison Queen's body were of no use to Lu Yu.
On the other hand, this orb might have a special effect.
"Where do you think the treasure in the Blackwood Forest is?" Lu Yu asked Zena.
Zena rubbed her chin and pondered momentarily before replying, "The spoils of war here must be more than these, and those treasures should be stored in the Nether Poison Queen's nest. Let's go take a look."
The greatest threat in the Blackwood Forest had been eliminated, making them much more at ease. They no longer had the fear and trepidation they had when they first entered the forest.
"Alright, let's find this spider's nest!"
After that, Zena and the others divided up the Nether Poison Queen's body and harvested all the materials they could.
After keeping them nicely, their faces revealed excited expressions. After all, they would not have the opportunity to obtain such precious materials under normal circumstances.
Without Lu Yu and Han Xuefei, they would not be a match for these spiders here. They probably would not even dare enter this forest, to begin with.
They continued to move forward.
The death of the Nether Poison Queen gave them reassurance as they strode deeper into the forest.
There might still be a few spiders around, but since the queen was dead, they did not dare attack the group of humans.
After walking for some distance, they saw a deep cave in the gray fog.
"Looking at the size of the cave, it should be the Nether Poison Queen's nest."
Seeing such a deep and dark cave, some team members could not help but swallow their throats with their hearts pumping.
Their instincts rejected the very notion of entering this cave from the bottom of their hearts, although they knew that the owner of this cave was already dead.
Lu Yu took the lead and walked into the cave.
Zena and the others followed closely behind.
After a few steps, Lu Yu's feet became sticky, as spider webs were everywhere.
Some spider eggs were hanging on the wall that had yet to hatch.
Helen quickly used her staff and released light to illuminate their surroundings.
The light shone into the depths of the cave and soon lit up the entire place.
They could vaguely make out the outline of tiny spiders in the surrounding spider eggs. Gray spider silk was everywhere, covering the cave.
Soon, Lu Yu saw a huge black treasure chest ahead.
They hurriedly ran over.
The treasure chest was about the size of a suitcase. It lay quietly in the corner and had never been opened.
Lu Yu walked to the treasure chest and looked at it carefully.
"It seems that this treasure chest is our spoils of war. It's something that the Nether Poison Queen is guarding."
As Lu Yu spoke, he soon saw a bowl-shaped depression in the treasure chest.
The size of this opening was about the same as the pearl he had just obtained.
"This groove should be the key to opening the treasure chest." Helen pointed at the treasure chest and said.
"This groove should be used to put this thing in."
Lu Yu took out the pearl he had just obtained and inserted it into the groove.
"Perfect fit, as expected!" Zena exclaimed with surprise.
Swoosh!
They soon saw that the energy in the orb was quickly absorbed into the treasure chest.
Soon, the pearl's luster dimmed, and it turned into an ordinary glass pearl.
Bang!
The treasure chest's lid bounced up; it seemed that the treasure chest had been unlocked.
"Well... it should be able to be opened now."
As Lu Yu spoke, he lifted the lid of the treasure chest.
At that moment, they all gathered around and looked into the box.
The box was empty except for a dark blue object lying quietly at the bottom.
Lu Yu took a closer look and realized it looked like a scale.
He quickly picked it up.
"This is a dragon scale!" Lu Yu frowned as he realized what it was.
"Eh... why is there a dragon scale here?"
Lu Yu was not surprised. Since there was the Death Spirit Dragon around, it was not impossible for a different dragon to be here.
After picking up the scale, Lu Yu quickly used his Eye of the Dragon God to scan the item in his hand.
[ Dark Poison Dragon Battle Pet Contract ]
[ With this item, you can tame the Dark Poison Dragon. ]
This dragon scale was an item to form a battle pet contract.
A battle pet contract was a symbol of taming a battle pet.
He had tamed the Water Spirit Dragon and the Fire Spirit Dragon, so he had obtained two battle pet contracts, which were the two spiritual pearls.
He had not tamed the Dark Poison Dragon, yet he had obtained the battle pet contract first.
In that case, no one else would have the chance to tame the Dark Poison Dragon; only he would have the opportunity.
However, where was the Dark Poison Dragon?
"What is this thing?" Han Xuefei asked Lu Yu.
"This thing is going to be useful to me. It's related to another dragon!"
Han Xuefei's beautiful eyes widened. "So this is indeed a dragon scale!"
"That's right. It's just that we don't know where the dragon is, except for the fact that it's definitely in this secret realm."
Boom!
Suddenly, a rumbling sound echoed. All the team members froze as they heard it.
Rumble!
A deafening, earthquake-like sound was heard, causing them to panic.
The ground shook, and cracks appeared. Ear-piercing noises were soon constantly ringing out.
As it swayed, it made them unable to stand steadily.
"Is there an earthquake? Let's quickly escape from this place!"
Zena shouted and ran toward the cave entrance.
The rest of them followed closely behind Zena.
At that moment, the spider eggs on the wall were all torn apart. The newly hatched little spiders were awakened with mucus all over their bodies.
After waking up, they surrounded everyone like a tidal wave.
Boom!
Another loud bang came from deep inside the cave, and more cracks quickly spread throughout the caves. A few boulders fell from the top of the cave, smashing into the ground.
