Chapter 172 Strange Red Light
The moment the magnificent spider silk curtain shattered, countless sharp objects shot out.
Zhong Ming was positioned off-center, outside the attack range.
A poor child was hit directly in the wound. He screamed and collapsed to the ground in agony. The wound was excruciatingly painful, and within just a few breaths, the blood festered and emitted a foul stench.
To make matters worse, they had only put cooling talismans on their feet. When they fell, they almost became sizzling hot plates. The scorching hot bluestone tiles burned them like cooked shrimp. They reflexively arched their backs and sprang up, their clothes emitting wisps of smoke and the aroma of roasting meat wafting out.
Zhong Ming reached out and caught one of them. What should have been an easy task turned into a near fall, as he was now too weak to do it and the other person fell to the ground.
He quickly examined the wound, pulled out the "hidden weapon" from the wound, and found it to be the venomous fang of a small spider.
"Hahaha, you told me to shut up? I knew it, didn't I?" One of them, surrounded by endless lightning, was the first to rush in.
Needless to say, the large spider was seriously injured and ate the small spider's body to replenish its strength.
The old soldier was completely fearless. What was so scary about a demonic spider with all eight of its golden eyes removed? He would just go in and kill it.
The next moment, he yelled, "Damn it!" and staggered out the door, raising his hand to stop the others. His large, bushy-bearded mouth spewed out a string of words as if wound up, "Be careful, there's still a pile of demonic beast corpses in that room. They must be those demonic beasts that these spiders killed after they took over the warehouse, the same ones that coveted this place. It has already devoured a huge number of demon cores and countless demonic beast flesh and blood. There are piles of white bones inside, and there's a terrifying red light flashing. It's either some kind of magical artifact powered by demonic energy, or a prepared attack spell to deal with us..."
He talked on and on for a long time, and seemed to be tired before he stopped to catch his breath. At this time, someone had already used magic to condense a shield in front of a cultivator who was covered in magical armor. The two worked together to create layers of defense. Then the man ate a pill and walked into the room.
With a loud "boom," a red light flashed, and the man turned into a pool of blood, melting away on the spot, leaving only a pile of armor scattered all over the ground.
"No, retreat, lure it out, prepare for battle."
The veterans were startled. They had fought for a long time but had never seen a fully armed cultivator killed in one blow. How come the fire refinement was getting more and more intense after a while?
"Lure it out, form a battle formation, create distance, and blast it apart with your feather arrow magic."
The commander reacted quickly, ordering his men to use vines to pull out the scattered armor pieces and examine the blood, trying to find some useful information.
Unexpectedly, the remaining spider silk suddenly exploded, covering the soldiers in the front row. The countless broken ends of the spider silk were extremely sticky, and once they were attached, they could not be removed. In an instant, cries of agony filled the air. The spider silk suddenly tightened, pulling people into the room.
"Quickly, take off your clothes."
The veteran who was captured moved extremely quickly, but the two new recruits were not so lucky. One of them was so frightened by what he had just witnessed that his legs went weak. In all the battles they had fought, there had always been back and forth, and occasionally someone would be injured or killed due to carelessness, which was just a pity. Who would have thought that the person in front of him, who had defended with all his might, would instantly turn into blood and water? He was already so frightened that his legs went weak and he couldn't move at all. He didn't even have time to react when the spider web exploded and was pulled straight in.
Zhong Ming reacted quickly, grabbing another cultivator. The immense force caused him to stumble, and he hurriedly shouted, "Quick, take off your clothes!"
"No way! This is the precious robe I bought with all my savings! I won't take it off! I won't take it off!"
The young man was like a madman, his face contorted to a horrifying degree, as if he wanted to devour Zhong Ming alive.
Zhong Ming had no strength left. With a drag from the male spider, the two of them slid inside together. Half of the man's body was already inside the room, where red light flickered and a thick aura of death began to devour life.
Originally, Zhong Ming wanted to let go, but the other person held Zhong Ming's hand tightly and couldn't break free for a while.
"Save me, save me quickly!"
"cut!"
The knife fell with a thud, and Zhong Ming's body went limp as he fell to the ground, still tightly gripping the man's hand.
A severed hand.
The supervisor, skilled in wielding dual swords, made his move, severing the man's hands in a single strike. He then grabbed Zhong Ming by the back of his neck and tossed him aside.
The rough clothes caught fire after being rubbed against the scorching hot bluestone tiles for a moment, and the bell rang and bounced on the ground like a skipping stone until it reached the exit.
Before he could say thank you, a sharp pain in his buttocks cut him off.
Turning his head, he saw that in the small room, Akame gave him a wink and pointed to what was behind her.
Zhong Ming got up and ran away.
.....
After the three people died, the group stopped moving forward and selected two aspiring cultivators to throw explosive talismans inside.
What am I afraid of at the supply depot? I have plenty of explosive talismans.
After a series of explosions, the male spider couldn't take it anymore and unleashed a massive burst of webs.
This move was different from the previous one. The spider silk that was shot out was a round ball that spun rapidly after leaving the room, like a tossing pancake, creating a large disc that instantly formed a defensive barrier.
"Behold my magical powers!"
This time, no one held back. Three people died fighting a severely injured second-rank ghost spider—a disgrace! If you dare to come out today, you'll be blasted to ashes!
Countless supernatural powers pierced through the spider web. The male spider knew that fighting at long distances was disadvantageous to it, and the spider web was just a cover. Dozens of spider silk were shot out.
Those who had just experienced the incident quickly avoided it, fearing they would be dragged into it again.
However, the spider silk that missed its target stuck to the wall, and the male spider instantly sprang out, as if to say, "If you won't come, I'll go to you."
At this moment, everyone could see clearly that the spider had long since lost its face. Previously, Zhong Ming had killed off its eight eyes and entire face. Now, its belly was swollen, indicating that it had devoured countless demonic beasts. Spider silk shot out, covering the entire hall. It could only judge the actions of the damned humans by the slightest sway of the spider silk through its eight legs.
The crimson light actually originated from the spider's back. Its face shimmered with red light, and just one glance at it made one dizzy and extremely frightening.
The experienced veterans immediately...threw all sorts of things and junk at the spider web to confuse the area, while some stood still, gathering their strength to chant incantations and make hand seals, preparing to unleash a powerful attack.
Just when everyone thought they had dodged the red light and victory was assured, a sudden change occurred.
