Conquering OtherWorld Starts With a Game Chapter 28: Underground

The spider-like creature being chased by the players was a "dreamweaver," a low-level monster. Despite appearing weak and easily beaten up by players wielding nothing but sticks and shovels, this creature was truly a monster.

Its seeming vulnerability stemmed from the fact that the greatest threat posed by the dreamweaver wasn't its physical attacks but the densely packed venomous spines on its thirteen tentacle legs. A mere slight touch from these tentacles, or even a tiny brush against the skin, would instantly inject the neurotoxin into any living organism.

Once afflicted by this sinister neurotoxin, even someone like Hal, who was built like a bull, would only last a few seconds before paralysis kicked in. Within half a minute, one's consciousness would blur, and the victim would enter a dreamlike state, unknowingly becoming a feast for the dreamweaver.

Stealthy and capable of moving across any terrain with ease, the dreamweaver, with its thirteen two-meter-long tentacles that formed an attack range without blind spots, was a predator among low-level monsters. Even normal close-combat experts like Hal Maxwell, Charlie Rex, or Finley would face a fierce battle if they went up against it.

Unfortunately, players, despite their crazed actions, incessant chatter, and lively movements, couldn't really be considered living creatures. No matter how much neurotoxin the dreamweaver injected into them, the venom would simply flow through their bone crevices.

With players immune to the deadliest poison, fast due to having 40% of a normal person's weight, it didn't take long for the group to catch up, considering that the dreamweaver was only skilled in stealth attacks and lacked agility.

Next, this unfortunate dreamweaver was subjected to the players' annoying tactics: throwing rocks and lumps of mud, grabbing its tentacles, and poking its vulnerable abdomen with broken sticks. This was a pitiful beating that exploited its weakness, leaving it lying defeated on the ground.
