With My System, I Can Even Tame Gods

Chapter 614 A strange gem

?The cave was dark, but it wasn't a problem for Lin Fan with his eyes.

His eyes could easily see through this darkness and even the mist that filled the air.

In fact, now that he was aware of it, he could also see the strands of web that were all around him.

He couldn't see them exactly, but he could see the pop ups that appeared when his Appraisal Eyes were pointed at these webs. So that way he knew that he was still surrounded by the Blood Spider webs.

But there was a specific direction that he was moving in.

As he went forward, he would stop from time to time to help free some things that were caught in the webs.

These were the puppets that he had sent earlier to scout out the cave.

As he had expected, they had been caught in the webs after entering the cave.

So Lin Fan was just following Greeny and the Control Toad's directions as they led him from puppet to puppet.

But Lin Fan couldn't help knitting his brows after freeing the tenth puppet.

Why weren't the Blood Spiders coming?

He had taken his time freeing the puppets and made as much noise as he could while walking on the webs, so the Blood Spiders should have known that he was here.

They should have already come out charging at him, but there wasn't a single Blood Spider to be seen.

He didn't believe that it was all of the Blood Spiders that came out to deal with him, so he didn't understand why they didn't come to deal with the intruders. It was almost as if they didn't care that he was here.

Still, he didn't hesitate to keep going further into the cave.

He had already committed to this and there was something that he wanted in the cave, so he couldn't back down now.

But Lin Fan started moving faster.

Lin Fan had been moving slowly since he wanted to bait all of the Blood Spiders out to attack him at the same time. That way, he would be able to capture them all in one fell swoop and not worry about them escaping.

However, it would only be a matter of time before Lin Li Zi woke up.

It wasn't as if he had an infinite amount of time, so he couldn't keep waiting any longer.

It seemed that he would have to just make do with what he could get.

He would capture the ones that he could and if some escaped, then that was that.

So Lin Fan was pushing deep into the cave with this.

It didn't take him long to reach his destination like this.

But Lin Fan found something surprising when he found it.

There was a large wall of web in front of him. It was as if the Blood Spiders had formed a wall of defensive webs that were meant to keep out anyone that wanted to invade their home.

Seeing this, Lin Fan realized what was happening.

The Blood Spiders knew that once they lost contact with the ones outside, something bad must have happened.

So instead of chasing after him, they decided to hole themselves up in this place and use this wall to keep themselves safe.

They decided that instead of offense, they would rely on defense.

Lin Fan stood in front of the web and he couldn't help touching it with one hand.

As he touched it, he couldn't help admiring how firm it was.

It didn't feel like a spider web, but rather like a thread that was made of steel.

With this web, it really would have been an effective defense against a normal person.

But in front of Lin Fan…

The one thing that he wouldn't use at this point was fire. Once fire was used, then everything would go to hell.

After all, fire didn't discriminate against what was placed in front of it and would burn down everything that was in its path. But he couldn't allow that to happen since the Blood Lingzhi that he needed were still inside of this cave.

So he had to avoid using fire.

The sharpest thing that he could think of was…water.

So together with Hayase, they created a water cutter.

It wasn't a water cutter in the same sense of his past life, but rather a water cutter that was made by controlling water.

Hayase was the one that gathered the water and created the flow while Lin Fan was the one that concentrated the water into a sharp blade.

The water that came from the flow was forced into a single area by Lin Fan and that concentrated it to the point where it became a water pressure cutter.

With this water pressure cutter, there was no resistance at all as they cut right through the web.

Lin Fan did it in a circular fashion where he cut a hole right in the center of the web.

But he didn't finish the last cut just yet as he had his pets take position.

Only when they were in position did he make that last cut.

When he made that last cut and the web fell down, there were spikes of blood that suddenly came out of the hole.

But this was all expected which was why Lin Fan had waited to make that last cut.

The Blood Spiders inside would certainly be able to see the web being cut, so they would be prepared to attack the moment that the pathway was opened. That was why all of these blood spikes had suddenly come out at them.

Lin Fan's pets just simply used a few attacks and shattered the blood spikes that came out.

Without hesitation, Lin Fan said, "Go and take care of them. But make sure to capture them alive."

The pets gave nods before jumping forward into the cave to take down the Blood Spiders.

It wasn't a fight at all, it was a one sided slaughter.

Though it wasn't a slaughter since the pets never actually killed any of the Blood Spiders.

They followed Lin Fan's orders and just captured them all, throwing them into a bubble of water that Hayase created in the center of the room.

Seeing all of these Blood Spiders in the bubble of water, Lin Fan focused his eyes to look at them. He was using his Appraisal Eyes on them to check something.

After a while, he revealed a satisfied look since he had confirmed with the Appraisal Eyes that all of them had the same mutation as the ones he had captured before. All of them had the ability to manipulate blood.

So he didn't hesitate to let Greeny and the Control Toad take control of these Blood Spiders.

During this, he started looking around this small cave to see what was so important that the Blood Spider would entrench themselves here.

He could see on the ground that there were a few blood red orbs that were scattered around. These should be the eggs of the Blood Spiders.

At the same time, he could also see a few blood red mushrooms that were scattered around on the ground, which was the Blood Lingzhi.

These things should be important enough to the Blood Spiders, but he didn't feel that they were important enough that they would act this way.

So he kept looking around.

That was until he found something that was at the very center of the room.

Lin Fan had missed this at first since it was so small, but he soon found it since it was different from everything else in this room. It was a small pink gem that was placed right in the very center of this room.

As he looked at this thing, he could sense that there was a strange energy coming from it.

Then when he tried to approach it…

"HISS!"

Even though the Blood Spiders were trapped and being turned into puppets, they still reacted the moment that he approached the gem on the ground. They all hissed at him as if he was doing something terrible to them and some even wanted to smash their bodies against the bubble of water.

But Hayase stopped them with a few well placed slaps of water.

Seeing this reaction from them, Lin Fan was certain that this must be the thing that they were protecting.

Essence of the Asura

That was what the name of this thing was according to his Appraisal Eyes.

But what followed was…

???

Not a single thing could be found about this thing.

However, Lin Fan didn't find that strange since he finally recognized what this strange energy was.

It was divine energy.

He had felt it before when he had encountered Aphrodite's artifact and when he encountered those immortal fragments.

He knew that this gem definitely wasn't a normal thing.

If he had to guess, it was most likely this gem that had caused the Blood Spiders to mutate all of a sudden.

So why was such a thing in a place like this?

He had no idea, but he wasn't above taking it.

Since he found it, he would take it for himself.

That was the rule of this dog eat dog world, so he didn't hesitate as he helped himself to it.

After taking the gem, Lin Fan quickly collected a few Blood Lingzhi as well and some of the Blood Spider eggs before seeing how Greeny and the Control Toad were doing.

They had finished creating puppets out of the Blood Spiders, so there was no reason for him to stay here any longer.
