Chapter 420 Spider Cave
Whoosh.
Wicked winds blew wildly.
A skinny and withered figure jumped down from the canopy, only to have its head grabbed by Greem’s burning hand.
Greem took a look at the creature by the light from the flickering mes. He instantly understood the nature of the being.
It was a semi-undead!
It was a mummy that had been lying dormant within a cocoon for numerous years. Its body was desated and withered, its abdomen caved inwards and what hair it had left was the color of straw. Spiders climbed in and out of its empty eye sockets, nose, and mouth.
Aoooooo.
The undead mummy was more like a monster that had been brought back to life from hell. Blinding red light suddenly shone out of its eye sockets, and its unnaturally twisted and wide open jaw caused its entire face to look wrong.
However, it didn’t matter how much the mummy tried to struggle. It would never be able to escape Greem’s zing fingers.
"Beep. Lifeform information collected.
"Withered Corpse: Spiderified Undead (Low Grade). Advanced Apprentice Level. Fearless and possesses corpse poison. Strength: 1.4 | Agility 1.1 | Physique 2.1 | Spirit 0.4"
Greem no longer needed to hold back now that he received the chip’s notification. The mes on his hand swelled and instantly reduced this howling corpse to ashes.
The mes didn’t die out immediately. Instead, they spread to the tree behind the corpse.
Layer afteryer of spider webs had wrapped around the tree. However, at this moment, all that had turned into the best fuel for the fire. Six seconds after Greem’s zing hand made contact, and the sixty-meter tall tree transformed into a giant torch.
mes licked everything around the tree as the fires danced and caused the dry tree to crackle in the ze. Innumerable spiderites of all sizes fled from the tree. The Spider Forest lived up to its name.
While Greem hadn’t seen a single lifeform when he entered, Spider Forest did have spiders. All those spiders were hiding within the trees and underground. With that bizarreyer of webbing obscuring spiritual senses, it was almost impossible for outsiders to detect their existence.
Soon, almost four hundred frightening corpses howled and hurried towards Greem from every corner of Spider Forest. They were treating Greem as the only enemy here, lunging at him from every angle.
Unguja leaped to pounce on a withered corpse, pinning the body to the ground. He then used his sharp ws to smash the corpse’s chest and head instantly. Unguja’s three heads weren’t idle either; a chain of wind des, fireballs, and acid balls shot out in session, blowing corpses to bits.
For a moment, not a single withered corpse could get near Greem!
Unguja’s power was not to be underestimated. He was a magical creature leader as well. Even though he hadn’t disyed excellent performance in the Battle of the Magma Hall, it was because Greem had never given him the chance to do anything.
Now that Unguja faced a bunch of Spiderified Undead that were far inferior to him, he demonstrated the full extent of his agility and the ferocity of his triple-elementium attacks. With Unguja opening a path in the front, Greem could focus all his attention on manipting fires. He tossed fireballs here and there, lighting up all the ancient trees along his way and turning them into torches that scraped the sky.
As a safety measure, Greem had left the manticore outside the valley to keep watch. He had stormed into Spider Forest with Unguja alone. With nobody to contest him, Greem became increasingly ferocious and reckless with his spells.
The so-called Spider Forest was only a stretch of the ck Forest that had been slightly twisted and modified by spiders. It was only about two to three kilometers deep. An entrance to a cave revealed itself to Greem and Unguja as they fought against the endless horde of withered corpses and spiders.
This ce was the entrance to Spider Cave; Spider Forest was no more than a hunting area that T had developed.
Greem could see no other color but white in this ce.
White webs wrapped the trees, and severalyers of webbing covered the ground as well. It was almost as if the two of them were walking in an baster sea. The sickly white color was everywhere.
Even the Three-Headed Demon Hound Unguja couldn’t do anything about this home territory of the spiders.
He could refuse to enter, or he could endure these torturous webs.
Even Unguja would identally run into a sticky web if he fought in an environment like this. And if that happened, T would probably be able to slice him into several pieces before he could even remove himself from the web!
Hmph.
Greem snorted coldly. He snapped his fingers as a fire rune immediately entered Unguja’s body. He then activated his Ring of Fire without any hesitation.
This environment slightly suppressed the hundred-meter-radius Ring of Fire, but it had an excellent ignition effect. All spiderwebs within twenty steps of Greem suddenly burst into mes. The sticky webs on the ground slowly vanished to reveal the ck dirt beneath.
"Come on. I can sense T inside the cave."
Greem strode forward without any hesitation and entered the cave ahead of Unguja. A shiver ran down Unguja’s spine, and he quickly shouted, "Wait for me, master!" He then chased after Greem with all he had.
A zing sea of fire slowly spread towards the depths of Spider Cave!
............
Spider Cave.
This pitch-ck underground cave didn’t show a single ray of light.
Several strange green lights shone in this deathly silence.
It was only when these strange lights shed that one would, to their surprise, discover that they were thepound eyes of some massive creature.
Demon-Hunting Spider T moved its body anxiously. It silently sensed for the intense vibrations transmitted through the web underneath it.
An enemy had arrived!
T didn’t even need to see for itself. Already, the terrifying silhouette of the me Fiend appeared in its mind.
These ursed adepts! They wouldn’t even give it a chance to take a breath. How dare they recklessly break into this Spider Cave that it had managed for hundreds of years.
Hmph! The Magma Hall was your home field. You burned all the cannon fodder I threw at you there. However, this Spider Cave is my territory. Since you dared to approach this ce, I will let you die here!
T’s eight hairy spider legs shook the spiderweb beneath it with a certain rhythm as it cursed internally. Several messages were sent in every direction without any sound. The various strange creatures hiding in obscure corners of the spider den started moving.
A small tear appeared in the giant white cocoon in the corner of this hidden cave. Dana’s pretty face was visible as she let out a sorrowful and angered scream.
However, the tear on the cocoon was quickly sealed by T the next second.
T dragged its severely wounded body and walked over to the cocoon. It produced fine threads from its abdominal sac, then used its eight legs to slowly turn the cocoon and wrapped anotheryer of webbing on the outside of the cocoon.
"Stop resisting. The eggs have been imnted in your body. In just another seventeen hours, my newest children will hatch inside you. It is a great honor to be the food and host of my children. Then, they will simultaneously possess the innate talents of magical spiders and medusas. They will be my most reliable subordinates."
The distinctughter of spider-like creatures rang throughout the sinister cave. Mixed within theughter was Dana’s muffled howls of agony.
............
The dark shadows extended all the way forward. The narrow roads wound about here and there, and not a single trace of light shone in this ce.
However, as Greem continued forward, the darkness was dispelled. The zing fires illuminated everything.
Greem had thrown out two golem summoning cores after he entered the spider den, summoning the Roaring Monster and the Decayer. The Roaring Monster stood at the forefront; its tall stone body made it the perfect meat shield to lead the way. The Decayer followed in the rear. Its silent movement hid its presence from most other creatures.
The golems were protecting Greem and Unguja in the middle. They swiftly and unhesitatingly ventured their way toward the depths of the underground.
There were winding paths and forked roads everywhere. Without an experienced guide, a neer would never be able to find the correct way in thisbyrinth.
Strangely enough, Greem seemed to know everything about this spider den. He made his way towards T’sir picking the shortest routes without any mistakes.
This ability undoubtedly frightened T, who was hiding deep underground. It could only send out the mutated army of spiders it had been hiding in reserve.
"Enemies have arrived." Greem reminded softly.
The Roaring Monster held its footsteps. It plunged both of its hands into the dirt below and quickly created a colossal stone sword for itself. The sword wasrge, heavy, and filled with rough and uneven stone spikes! It was the perfect weapon for an overbearing monster like itself.
The chittering sound from the other end of the tunnel hadn’t ceased. Greem threw a fireball in that direction and immediately illuminated the flood of odd spider magical creatures.
The next second, a storm of shadow arrows, acid balls, bone spikes, and spiderwebs shot at the party.
The Roaring Monster used its massive body to block over eighty percent of the attacks. It then swung itsrge sword and charged forward, roaring as it did so. There was no space for it to rampage in this narrow tunnel. That was why the Roaring Monster injected a significant amount of earth elementium into the stone sword in its hands every so often.
The stone sword would split apart to shoot out hundreds of stone spikes, surrounding everything in front in a barrage of stone spikes.
It didn’t matter whether the stone spikes impaled the enemies’ heads or abdomens; these attacks were lethal to all the creatures within the radius of the stone spikes. Most of the time, these mutated spider creatures weren’t even as big as the stone spikes being fired at them!
