So I had to carefully roam around the swamp and ambush just a few monsters at a time and after a while of hunting, I found a bunch of hidden loot in a cave that was insanely high level and there were even some artifacts.
I continued to hunt but this time it was a bit easier since I was able to use some accessories and armour that improved my stats by a lot and I also got four artifacts that were mid-level.
Usually artifacts are rarely found from bosses and dungeons and it was just at low-level but I found four artifacts at mid-level without doing anything.
The first artifact I found was a consumable artifact and it was a potion that was created by using the strongest poisons combined with the strongest healing potions and strengthening potions, when I drank it all my stats got a +10.
Then the second artifact was an artifact that was immediately bounded to me when I got it and I was able to attach it to all the equipment that I had and it boosted the equipment by 100% and added the poison attributed on it and I put it on my sword.
The next artifact was useless for me so I decided to seel it when I got out, it was a whip artifact that absorbs poisons and whenever it hits something it uses the poison that it absorbed with the power multiplied by three.
The last artifact was an artifact that could only be used by the poison king and I wasn't even able to see the description on it even with God's Eye, it probably only allowed for the poison king to see it.
So with the first two artifacts and a few of the equipment and accessories that I found, I was able to hunt more efficiently and I was able to level up by quite a lot and when I checked the level leaderboard, I was ranked 15th.
I was getting stronger pretty fast, then I remembered that the shield wasn't counted as a living being and it was counted as an equipment so I tried summoning it and it worked, I fed it loads of stat points for it to become even stronger.
I felt a bit more safe now because my weapon was now boosted by the second artifact, my shield was now here and even more stronger than before and my stats were boosted by quite a bit.
And I continued to fight off a load of poison attributed monsters until I found a giant cave, I thought there would be loot just like in the last cave I found but there were just loads of cobwebs.
After a while of walking I found that there were now spiders coming just like the dungeon me and Ari were supposed to face but now they were now incomparable to the ones me and Ari faced before.
I knew there gad to be something in here if there were monsters guarding it so I continued to explore the cave and I was able to level up a lot by killing loads of the spiders and after a while I found the main part of the nest.
And I saw that there was a giant spider in the middle I assumed it was the boss and I saw that it was also creating more spiders so I had to quickly defeat it or else it might become a real hassle fighting it.
So after that I went in and started fighting, after a while of fighting it, I realized that my strength only matched his so I used continuous blessings and boosted my strength by a lot.
And now I was able to start overpowering it but it suddenly started to shriek and saw it was calling for reinforcements so I quickly tried to take care of it and I had the shield to try and atleast block the entrance for a bit.
After a while of slashing the poison damage started to take a huge affect on it, I didn't think that poison would be affective against this boss since it was poison attributes but it wasn't immune to poisons like me.
Thanks to the poison immunity that me and Ari got before the boss fight became a little easier because even if I got hit, I wouldn't get inflicted by poison anymore so this was really good.
Then after a while the boss was finally defeated and I quickly went to kill the spiders that were trying to come through the entrance because the shield's durability was already extremely low so I added more stat points to it for it now to break.
I leveled up loads in that amount of time and I was nearly back in the top ten in the level leaderboards, and after that I checked for loot and I found a high-level artifact, an orb, and a Queen Spider egg.
I was really excited about the spider egg and the artifact because now I could get a poison attributes monster and I also had a high-level artifact that only less than 8 people had and now I was the seventh.
I checked out the orb because it didn't have any special name or anything attached to it but it said it was consumable so I tried using it and a bright light shined again like last time.
