Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Mcgee turned his head and said to the little Spirit Fox, “Little Spirit Fox, let’s go!”
The little Spirit Fox nodded to indicate that she understood and immediately flew out from behind the rock pillar.
The sudden appearance of the little spirit fox immediately attracted the attention of all the spiders.
“Hiss hiss hiss!”
After seeing the little Spirit Fox, the four eyes on spiders immediately followed the spider web and quickly gathered around the little Spirit Fox.
The two huge teeth on their upper and lower jaws constantly rubbed against each other, making ear-piercing sounds.
“Be careful!”
As soon as Mcgee finished speaking, two strands of spider silk as thick as chopsticks shot rapidly toward the little Spirit Fox.
When the little Spirit Fox saw this, she nimbly jumped to the side of the rock wall and dodged the entanglement of the spider silk.
Mcgee and the little Spirit Fox looked at each other and immediately launched a counterattack.
“Red flame, get ready!”
The fiery-red fox tail behind the little Spirit Fox was raised high, and then it began to swing rapidly.
A fireball with a diameter of half a meter, about the size of a spider, instantly formed behind the little Spirit Fox.
“Attack!”
After hearing Mcgee’s order, the little Spirit Fox instantly jumped up, and the fireball on her body whizzed toward the two spiders.
After the spiders saw the fireball again, they started to crawl uneasily.
“Boom!”
The spiders moved very fast, and the fireball only grazed one of the spider’s bodies.
The flames from the explosion immediately ignited the needle-like fur on the spider’s body.
The ignited spider started to crawl quickly in the karst cave in fear.
It disappeared into the depths of the cave in an instant.
The remaining three spiders also gradually retreated.
Seeing that they were about to get their prey, how could Mcgee let them go so easily.
“Let’s chase after them!”
After the little Spirit Fox heard this, she immediately turned around on the cave walls and quickly chased after the spiders.
“Hiss, hiss, hiss!”
When the spiders saw that Mcgee and little Spirit Fox were still chasing after them, they continuously let out waves of terrified hisses.
After they were dozens of meters deep into the cave, the visibility suddenly decreased. It wasn’t easy to see the road ahead clearly.
“Little Spirit Fox, light up a small fireball!”

After the Spirit Fox heard this, she obediently nodded and said, “Yes, Master.”
Then, following Mcgee’s order, a fist-sized fireball was ignited behind him.
The light emitted by the fireball immediately lit up the surrounding rock walls.
Mcgee walked while carefully observing the state of the fireball.
Besides being used for lighting, the fireball could also detect the oxygen content in the karst cave.
After seeing that the fireball had been burning steadily, Mcgee was relieved.
This proved that the oxygen content in the cave was still very adequate.
If the oxygen content in the cave were too low, it would gradually make it difficult for people to breathe and move, and then they would gradually faint due to lack of oxygen.
When you sensed something strange, you wanted to retreat, but you found that there was no way back. Many new explorers had died in this natural trap.
Mcgee and the little Spirit Fox followed the spider silk all the way to a dark forked cave.
“Hiss hiss!”
“Hiss hiss!”
The chaotic hiss of the spiders echoed in the cave.
Mcgee looked at the unknown cave in front of him and did not dare to enter rashly.
Since the spiders had arrived before him, they must have laid an inescapable net inside.
Moreover, no one knew how many spiders were inside, waiting for him and the little Spirit Fox to walk into the net.
After thinking for a while, Mcgee prepared to give up on entering the cave.
Of course, this did not mean that Mcgee had given up on hunting the spiders.
Mcgee looked at the slightly smaller hole in front of him and turned to the little Spirit Fox.
“Little Spirit Fox, prepare the wall of fire!”
“Seal the hole with the wall of fire!”
Little Spirit Fox heard this and immediately emitted bursts of fire. Then, the space at the entrance of the cave shook.
A burning wall of fire gradually rose from the entrance of the cave.
Then, it completely blocked the exit of the cave.
The high temperature released by the wall of fire continuously grilled the spiders in the cave.
Even if it could not burn them, the intense burning of the wall of fire would rapidly deplete the oxygen in the cave.
Now, the spiders in the cave only had two choices.
They could either burn to death from the high temperature or suffocate to death due to lack of oxygen.

“Hiss hiss!”
“Zhi!”
The hisses in the cave instantly became chaotic.
Screams and wails rose and fell one after another.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the cave.
“Surrender! We surrender!”
After Mcgee heard it, he carefully thought about it. If he could really subdue these spiders, it could indeed play a very big role in the protection of his home.
Therefore, Mcgee said to the spiders, “Which one of you is the boss? I can’t control so many tamed beasts at once. If the leader comes out to surrender, the other beasts will stay in the cave as hostages!”
After hearing Mcgee’s words, the beasts inside immediately said impatiently, “Then you take down the fire first. If I come out to surrender, my children will be suffocated to death!”
Hearing this, Mcgee turned his head and said to the little Spirit Fox, “Take down the fire first.”
The little Spirit Fox was very obedient. After hearing Mcgee’s order, she immediately put down the fire.
Gradually, a giant spider with a diameter of more than one meter appeared at the entrance of the cave.
At this moment, the six eyes on its head were constantly emitting red light. Lying at the entrance of the cave, it stared at Mcgee outside like a ghost, making people’s hair stand on end.
Mcgee really could not stand its gaze, so he hurriedly said, “Don’t play tricks. Hurry up and come out to surrender, or I’ll start a fire!”
As soon as Mcgee said this, the giant spider hurriedly said, “Don’t start a fire, I’ll come out right away!”
Then, it slowly crawled out of the cave, completely exposing its body.
At this moment, it was also in a very sorry state.
The fur on its body had already become curly and burnt under the high temperature.
After seeing it come out.
Mcgee gestured for the little Spirit Fox to remain vigilant, and he slowly walked toward the spider.
After that, Mcgee bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on the head of the giant spider.
The giant spider was also very resigned to its fate and did not resist.
