Chapter 208: Slaying the Spider Emperors (II)

Gradually, some of the caves were filled up. With the constant urging from those behind them, the spiders at the front either crawled out of the ground or dug out new caves.

Below the ground, where humans could not see, more giant steel-spear spiders were gradually gathering. They were only waiting to reach a critical point before climbing out of the ground.

This time, it was no longer thousands, but tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of them.

The humans were naturally also preparing for battle.

Unlike the giant steel-spear spider’s anxious state, the military engineers seemed to have an endless amount of strength as they continued to build all kinds of facilities.

Some of the civilian experts from the southern cities also rushed to the front with their teams.

Their main mission was to withstand the attacks from the warriors among the giant steel-spear spiders, as well as to continue the attack after the giant steel-spear spiders retreated. They wanted to kill as many of the spiders as possible.

Suddenly, a miserable cry echoed through the underground passages.

The barbs on the legs and the fur on the bodies of all the giant steel-spear spiders below the peak of the warrior realm stood up, and their bodies instantly stiffened.

This cry came from one of the spider emperors.

The nine spider emperors were the rulers of the catacombs. The spiders also relied on them to hunt for prey in the otherworld.

It could be said that without these nine spider emperors, the giant steel-spear spiders would not have been able to grow to such large numbers.

In the depths of the ground that humans had yet to explore, the caves dug by the giant steel-spear spiders extended to the underground area below the existing human cities around the catacombs.

The hidden danger far exceeded the expectations of the three big shots in Jiangnan City. Once the nine spider emperors reached the master realm, the entire Jiangnan province would be threatened by the giant steel-spear spiders.

When all the giant steel-spear spiders left their frozen states and listened carefully to the battle between the invader and the spider emperors, in just an instant, the entire catacombs fell silent again.

One of the strongest spider emperors had been completely defeated after letting out a miserable cry.

Run! Run! Run!

Previously, most of the giant steel-spear spiders had thought of staying far away and waiting for the spider emperors to deal with the invader before returning to their caves.

Now, they only had one thought, and that was to escape.

The spider emperor had been instantly killed. Without the need for any explanation, it meant that the invader was no longer at a level that they could deal with.

The giant steel-spear spiders dug a new underground passage and headed towards the surface.

The sounds of tunnels being dug rang out from everywhere and spread out like an earthquake.

In the human military camp.

“I felt a vibration. What happened?”

“Could there have been a sudden earthquake?”

Sensing the movement from under their feet, the soldiers were stunned.

If they really encountered a natural disaster, there might be new variables introduced to the battle. If it was serious, it might even force the military to retreat.

Immediately after. there was a loud bang.

All the soldiers were still worried about the earthquake and felt dizzy from the loud sound. Their heads buzzed and their vision turned black.

Many people fell to the ground.

From the soldiers to the officers, everyone had looks of fear on their faces. They turned towards the source of the loud sound and saw that a pit nearly a kilometer in diameter had exploded in the area of the catacombs.

No one dared to get close to see how deep the pit was.

A huge amount of soil turned into a rain of soil that shot out in all directions. Even the military camps a few kilometers away were not spared. It was clear how terrifying the scale of the explosion was.

This was not all.

From deep within the bottomless pit, a green light shot into the sky. Even though it was daytime, the light was still extremely bright and was clearly visible to the humans.

Other than that, before anyone could understand what was going on, the pit had visibly expanded.

“This… this, this, this!”

The soldiers were so shocked that they could not put their thoughts into words.

In the eyes of the soldiers, there must be a volcano hidden under the pit. Otherwise, why would it suddenly explode?

“Hey, hey, hey…”

After the officers reacted, they called the headquarters to report this sudden development.

Such a large-scale destructive power was already beyond their ability to deal with. They had to ask the higher-ups for their orders.

“Impossible!”

Even the heads of the large factions in the southern cities who had led the teams to provide support widened their eyes.

They knew the reason for their deployment. The root cause was that the masked man wanted to make a move on the spider emperors in the catacombs. Everyone was here to deal with the aftermath.

The destructive power that had appeared in front of them was definitely not something that even their sect master could achieve.

At this moment, in the underground passages, the tide of giant steel-spear spiders did not react much differently from the humans. Their bodies, which had just recovered, froze on the spot again.

The invader was fighting one against eight and started a battle with the remaining spider emperors.

There was no creature that did not fear the strong, which were labeled as deadly weapons. Even the ferocious giant steel-spear spiders were no exception.

Deep underground, near the space-travel passage.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The eight spider emperors had dozens of eyeballs that were each larger than a person. They stared fixedly at Chen Yiming, the intruder, and emitted a strong killing intent.

The green glow was formed by the internal force of the poison attribute. Under the enhancement of the internal force fusion, the combined strength of the eight spider emperors melted all the soil around them in just a few seconds, forming a pit hundreds of meters deep.

At this moment, not far behind the eight spider emperors, the space was flickering, and a spatial rift appeared, emitting an indescribable aura.

“A space-travel passage?”

Seeing this, Chen Yiming instantly understood why the catacomb could produce nine spider emperors.

Coincidentally, as he swept through the gathering place of the mutant beasts to reduce the Skill Point requirements for upgrading his talents, he could also resolve this huge hidden problem.

“…”

In contrast to Chen Yiming who was calm and unbothered by the revelation, Ye Yisha, who was standing at the side, was about to foam at the mouth.

Compared to the spider emperors, who were at the peak of the warrior realm, a human at the disciple realm was like an ant facing an elephant.

In front of her, there were spider emperors that were comparable to skyscrapers and were considered to be alien creatures. Furthermore, eight of them were staring at her at once.

Even with the person beside her protecting her, her world was spinning. Her entire body felt weak and powerless, and she could only lean against Chen Yiming to barely hold on.

“This temperature?”

Chen Yiming felt the weakness in Ye Yisha’s body and knew that the upcoming battle with the eight spider emperors might leave a trauma in her heart.

This was a problem that was often encountered when passing down martial arts.

The best solution was to not let her see too many situations that exceeded her level.

Therefore, he released a wave of illusory internal force to cover Ye Yisha, preventing her from seeing anything.

While Chen Yiming was distracted, “Swish, swish, swish!”

The green light on the eight spider emperors’ bodies glowed brightly, and a huge amount of poisonous internal force transformed into spider fur that shot towards Chen Yiming like a storm of needles.

The spider emperor’s poison-based internal force could even melt internal force of the same level. The combined attack from eight of them was even more terrifying. In the outside world, this round of attacks could completely destroy an ordinary city.

However, when it hit Chen Yiming’s protective internal force, it made a sizzling sound and only melted a little of his protection before it was instantly repaired.

Other than increasing the size of the pit, there was no other effect.

“It’s my turn to attack.”

Ye Yisha’s vision was already blocked, so Chen Yiming went all out and used his strongest finishing move.

Under the enhancement of the 12 different types of internal force, the strength of the 100-meter-long sword formed by the strength-based internal force instantly exceeded that of any single spider emperor.

Next, the huge sword that was glowing with a strange light slashed out without any fancy moves.

In the enclosed environment of the pit, it was naturally not easy to dodge in a short period of time. Only five spider emperors successfully jumped up and dodged the huge sword before sticking to the rock walls.

As for the remaining three spider emperors, the protective internal force of the first spider emperor was instantly broken, and its body was blown up in the air. Then, the huge sword carrying its remains collided with the second and third spider emperors.

The strength-based internal force was originally good at suppressing others with strength. Coupled with the difference in the strength of the internal forces, it naturally made the battle very simple. The weaker side would only be crushed if they faced it head-on.

In the end, he destroyed three of the spider emperors with one slash of the huge sword, which then crashed into the wall of the pit that had just been created. This caused the people in the military position to feel another earthquake just as they regained their footing and caught their breaths.

The people watching the pit saw cracks appear on the ground. The damaged rock layers turned into countless irregular pieces of rock that fell to the bottom of the pit.

“What exactly is going on down there?”

This was beyond everyone’s imagination. It was not something that someone at the level of a sect master could do.

This was the truth. If the sect master of a large sect dared to challenge the nine spider emperors alone, he would be torn to pieces in no time.

If it was that easy to deal with, the three big shots of Jiangnan City would have long resolved the issue of the danger hidden in the catacombs.

Taking advantage of the fact that Chen Yiming’s huge sword had struck the rock wall and the falling rocks had caused a certain amount of interference, the remaining five spider emperors unleashed their strongest finishing move.

Five poisonous spears shot towards Chen Yiming from different directions.

The poison spear was formed by condensing and compressing the spider emperor’s internal force to the maximum. It had internal forces of the spinning attribute and tough attribute, which combined with the melting effect of the poison internal force.

The three internal force attributes were all made to increase the lethality, and the fusion of these internal forces was even more terrifying.

Even the sect masters of large sects had to avoid the attacks from the spears, let alone five times the number of poison spears. No one dared to test and see if their protective internal force could withstand the attacks.

However, the strongest finishing move of the five spider emperors was not intended to kill the intruder in front of them.

When Chen Yiming used his internal force to withstand the five poisonous spears, he was only held back for a moment. However, the five spider emperors in front of him had already rushed into the space-travel passage and disappeared from his sight.
