Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Power Apple Tree, Spirit Mutation Spider Silk

Seraphina Sullivan wasn’t doing too well.

Every inch of her body ached, from her head to her stomach.

The stomachache? That was purely from overexertion and hunger.

She quickly pulled some compressed biscuits from her Space and stuffed them into her mouth.

She quickly cleared the battlefield, letting the system collect the corpses of the giant spiders that had killed each other.

[Ding! Successfully collected Giant Spider x24]

[Current Progress: 271/100]

Seraphina glanced at the system notification, seeing she had far exceeded the collection quota.

She realized she had already killed over a hundred giant spiders.

The haul was substantial, but she decided to hunt for other types of Insectoid Monsters to complete her collection quest.

"I wonder what the final reward for Quest Two is. I’m so excited! It’s a shame I can’t get it now—it’ll only be revealed after I get back."

However, Seraphina turned her gaze back toward the center of the garden.

"Power Apple, here I come!"

Fighting through the pain in her ribs, Seraphina also collected the precious [Insect Speaker] corpse of the Spider Queen into the system.

As she approached the hideous corpse, she suddenly recalled the emerald scythe in Cheryl Chase’s hand, which had been crafted from a mantis’s forelimb.

Seraphina pensively sized up the Spider Queen’s corpse, a shrewd glint in her eyes.

’Maybe this thing has some good materials on it, too...’

She deliberately avoided looking at the Spider Queen’s upper body, which was far too human-like.

Its pale human face and seminude female torso made her inexplicably uncomfortable.

Instead, she focused her attention on its lower half: the massive, red spider body.

’Poisonous Fangs...’ Seraphina’s eyes lit up. She instantly recalled from her Eye of Resume’s data that the Spider Queen possessed the [Poisonous Fang] Skill.

Seraphina carefully used her Silver Needle Sword to pry open the Spider Queen’s vicious mouthparts and, just as she expected, found a pair of enormous Poisonous Fangs glowing with an eerie green light.

"This is a real find!" She put on protective gloves and, with some effort, managed to extract the two nearly thirty-centimeter-long Poisonous Fangs intact.

She then used the [Item Identification] function on her Analysis Glasses to view the details.

[Spider Queen Poison Fang]

[Trait: Highly Poisonous, Corrosion]

The joy of acquiring her spoils momentarily overshadowed the pain in her body.

Seraphina carefully put the Poisonous Fangs away, then turned and hurried toward the center of the garden.

Because Seraphina had already dealt with the spider swarm, the path ahead was surprisingly safe.

After passing through the last web-covered thicket, the sight before her made Seraphina hold her breath.

A massive, pale green apple tree stood in the center of the garden. Its trunk and branches were densely wound with silvery-white spider silk, which gleamed eerily under the blood-red sky.

The silks writhed slowly as if alive, cocooning the entire tree to form a massive nest.

Even more strikingly, over a dozen apples hung from its branches, glowing with a faint green light. Each was the size of a fist, its skin covered in a web of red lines.

’Is this... the Power Apple Tree?’ Seraphina approached cautiously.

She came to stand beneath the apple tree, which shimmered with a soft green light.

The area was silent, save for the soft rustle of leaves in the breeze.

After confirming it was safe, she began to pick the precious fruits without hesitation.

"One, two, three..."

With every Power Apple Seraphina picked, she could feel a warm thrumming in her palm, as if the fruit had a life of its own.

In the end, all 17 ripe, green apples on the tree were safely stored in her Space.

She activated her Analysis Glasses’ Item Identification function.

[Power Apple]

[Effect: Permanently increases the Strength Attribute by a sliver. A very small chance to acquire a Special Ability.]
