Shortly after the Abyssal Spider spawned 6 spiderlings, Bai Tian consumed his last Small Qi Potion, restoring 1,000 Qi.
He only had a little over 2,000 Qi left, but he wasn't worried in the slightest.
As a gaming veteran who had faced even more impossible situations, Bai Tian did not think he was doomed for a second.
'As long as I dodge all of their attacks and kill the spiderlings one by one, I will be able to slowly chip away the boss' remaining health. The only question is whether I will be able to damage these spiderlings with my normal attacks or not.'
After taking a deep breath, Bai Tian's face became serious, his gaze full of focus.
Meanwhile, the six Abyssal Spiderlings finally noticed Bai Tian and started moving towards him.
Bai Tian maneuvered around the six spiderlings so that they wouldn't surround him until he was face-to-face with one of them.
Once he saw the chance, he used Dragon Rush to slash at the spiderling's legs.
Sha!
[Critical Hit: 2,210]
Bai Tian's attack dismembered three of the spiderling's legs, causing it to collapse.
Fortunately, the spiderlings did not appear to be as tough as the mother, and they could actually be damaged by Bai Tian.
Another spiderling attacked Bai Tian afterward, but he quickly dodged it with a sidestep.
Once the cooldown for Dragon Rush was gone, he used it again to finish the crippled spiderling by striking the gap around its neck, an area that he couldn't easily reach on the mother due to its height.
<You have dealt a Fatal Blow>
<Abyssal Spiderling defeated>
The Abyssal Spider spat more black liquid at Bai Tian from a distance, but he dodged it with ease now that he's already seen such an attack before.
He would continue to attack and dodge for the next several minutes until all of the spiderlings were slain.
Once it was just him and the Abyssal Spider again, Bai Tian started to slowly chip away the spider's health by attacking its weak spots with ordinary attacks, saving what little Qi he had left for White Ghost's Maneuver.
The Abyssal Spider grew more and more frustrated, as it couldn't land a single hit on Bai Tian no matter how hard it tried.
Eventually, Bai Tian withered the Abyssal Spider's health all the way down to zero, which took over 500 precise hits.
<Abyssal Spider defeated>

"Yes."
[Mana Crystal]
[Grade: Medium]
[Description: Impure mana that requires to be purified before usage.]
The Mana Crystals dropped by the Abyssal Spider were twice as large as the ones dropped by ordinary monsters, and the reason became clear when Bai Tian saw its information.
He looked at his new title next.
[Dungeon Conqueror: Increases all damage dealt while inside a Dungeon by 50%]
Bai Tian looked at his Black Slime Sword to see its condition, expecting its durability to have lowered a lot from the boss fight alone.
[Durability: 910/1,000]
However, to his absolute surprise, it didn't even lose a hundred durability.
"I guess he's a famous blacksmith for a reason… Or is this because of the slime cores?" Bai Tian smiled.
The place suddenly started to tremble, almost as though there was an earthquake. This made Bai Tian wonder if the Dungeon was collapsing.
When the trembling stopped, Bai Tian noticed that an entrance that did not exist before had appeared at the end of the room.
Bai Tian walked to the entrance and entered it without hesitation.
On the other side, there was a small room, and inside this small room was a silver chest.
'This must be the real reward for clearing the Dungeon.' Bai Tian thought to himself as he opened it.
A second later, he found several items resting inside the chest. There was a black robe, a small bottle that contained black liquid, a scroll, a large egg, and six familiar-looking crystals.
Bai Tian looked at the black robe first.
[Abyssal Robe]
[Grade: Legendary]
[Level Requirement: 30]
[Durability: 1,000/1,000]
[Physical Defense: 750]
[Magical Defense: 250]
[Effects: +50 Endurance]
[Effects(2): +25 Resistance]
[Effects(3): Grants its wielder Poison Resistance]
"Not bad." Bai Tian immediately wore the robe after picking it up, and his HP skyrocketed by 5,000 due to the Endurance bonus from the robe, which was akin to 10 levels if he invested all of his SP into Endurance.
He looked at the bottle of black liquid next.
[Abyssal Poison]
[Grade: Epic]
[Description: Pour it on a weapon to enhance it with Abyssal Poison. Damage dealt with that weapon will inflict Abyssal Poison. Targets inflicted with Abyssal Poison will lose 1% of their maximum HP every 1 second.]
Although the poison seems powerful, Bai Tian did not use it immediately and decided to save it for later.
The next item he inspected was the large egg.
[Abyssal Spider Egg]
[Grade: Legendary]
[Description: An egg left behind by an Abyssal Spider. Hatch it to acquire a powerful familiar!]
'A familiar, huh. This is definitely interesting…' Bai Tian wondered if there was a Class that specialized in taming monsters or summoning familiars.
He looked at the next item a moment later.
[Skill Up Scroll]
[Grade: Legendary]
[Description: Increases the Rank of any Skill by 1 level.]
Bai Tian's eyes lit up after seeing the description, and as much as he was itching to use it immediately, he held his urges back and stored it inside his inventory.
The last items inside the treasure chest were the crystals.
[Return Crystal]
[Grade: Rare]
[Description: Returns the user to their last visited Safe Zone upon consumption]
'So this is what those two used, huh.' He recalled Forgot My Shield and Unlucky Warrior using this exact same crystal to teleport away.
'This will save me a lot of time getting back to the city.' Bai Tian stored the crystals and looked around the room to make sure he wasn't missing anything.
Once he was prepared, he smashed one of the Return Crystals, teleporting himself back to Red Iron City. As for the Dungeon, its entrance sealed off permanently before disappearing shortly after, almost as though it never existed.
