On the way ho, Long Yi was constantly delighted. In his view, the other party had helped himself a huge favour, so what if he had used up a bag of magic gemstones? Those magic gemstones were given by Uncle Morton and had been with Long Yi for a long ti, but he never found an appropriate way to use them. Now that they were given to the Lady of Darkness, they were put to good use.
The return journey, which involved climbing, not surprisingly, took longer than the trip to the City of Darkness. However, this ti, Long Yi wasn’t sleepy at all, instead, he was constantly thinking about the issue of the Crazy Demon Plane.
If initially, Long Yi was only able to listen when the elves ntioned the Crazy Demon Plane, the appearance of the vaccine now suggests that at least the plan has a substantive operational space.
Another thing that made Long Yi happy was the adjustnt of the two crystal cores. This implies that both the combat power of the battle armor and the molten beast had significantly improved. Using these two adjusted cores as blueprints, the scientists of the White Dragon Empire would soon figure out the principles and improve the manufacturing thod.
This ti, once he got ho, he might be able to get a good night’s sleep. Long Yi thought satisfactorily.
Suddenly, the worm vehicle let out a low growl, and the entire vehicle vibrated, a strange sll wafted into the vehicle.
The two Dark Clan guards who accompanied him stood up at the sa ti.
"Damn it, the worm vehicle has encountered its natural enemy!"
"Natural enemy?"
"Yes! The Insect Catching Spider! An ancient creature! How is there still an Insect Catching Spider in this underground? Aren’t they supposed to be extinct?" one of the guards shouted anxiously. At the sa ti, Long Yi felt that the previously upward moving route of the worm vehicle started moving parallel, and its speed was getting faster and faster.
"Tell at once, what’s going on!" he demanded.
It turned out that there used to be many gigantic magical beasts living on this world. Initially, the giants broke down almost all the magical beasts that posed an overwhelming threat to humans in order to create a suitable living environnt, and Insect Catching Spider was one of them. Unlike the worm vehicles that only eat mud, Insect Catching Spiders are massive, usually the length of an adult spider can reach 10 ters. They’re ferocious and didn’t have many predators. These creatures even dared to attack giants and the Dragon Clan, and there was indeed one dragon that beca its food. The Insect Catching Spider that swallowed the dragon attained the powerful energy of the Dragon Clan and miraculously, those Insect Catching Spiders managed to escape the frantic chase of the Dragon Clan and disappeared. Back then, these giant creatures were known as Dragon Hunting Spiders. However, these creatures were almost wiped out by the combined force of the giants and the Dragon Clan. Those who survived managed to escape underground. They began to prey on underground beasts, with worm vehicles being their primary source of food. From then on, Dragon Hunting Spiders were renad Insect Catching Spiders.
When the Dark Clan began to ta worm vehicles as a ans of transport, the Insect Catching Spider beca the biggest nuisance. For this reason, the Dark Clan tried every possible thod, successfully slaughtering most of the Insect Catching Spiders after the loss of nurous worm vehicles.
However, so of the Insect Catching Spiders managed to hide and changed their strategy.
Insect Catching Spiders were not initially underground creatures, they can’t move quickly underground, it’s extrely difficult for them to prey on worm vehicles. Therefore, they began to set bait using a cast-net thod. Over the years, they have evolved a series of special spider silks and spread these silks in any place they pass through. These spider silks appear as the most delicious thing to worm vehicles. Worm vehicles keep moving forward while engulfing everything in front of them. Once they swallow this kind of spider silk, they would imdiately enter a state of excitent and strive to move towards the place with spider silk. At this mont, any orders would beco ineffective.
In this regard, the Dark Clan also tried many thods, but the effects were not significant.
And now, it was that unfortunate ti.
Obviously, jumping off was the most idiotic idea. If one jumps down from here, even the Dark Clan would completely lose its way, and the surroundings here are extrely smooth, making it extrely difficult to walk normally. Most importantly, the air here is in short supply. While worm vehicles can produce air, humans or the Dark Clan certainly don’t have this function.
"So, what will happen to us, will we rush into the mouth of the Insect Catching Spider?"
Long Yi asked.
"No, the worm vehicle will fall into the lair of the Insect Catching Spider and land on its web. The Insect Catching Spider will wrap up the worm vehicle like an ordinary spider, inject the venom, and slowly enjoy it after the worm vehicle dies."
The Dark Clan guard explained.
"Oh, so we still have a chance?" Long Yi laughed.
If there were utterly no chances, Long Yi would just have to wait despairingly for a miracle to happen. However, since they had a chance, they had to struggle.
"No matter what happens later, I need both of you to stay here. Ai Lin, get ready. Bajie, Xiaoyou, stop sleeping, we’ve got so fun coming up."
Bajie and Xiaoyou had been sleeping in the worm vehicle during the ti in the City of Darkness, after all, the City of Darkness was not a place that welcod the Dragon Clan much. But now, it was finally ti for them to show their power.
The worm vehicle was still moving frantically, and everyone could clearly feel that its speed was getting faster and more exciting.
Bajie and Xiaoyou were ready, not fighting for a while made them itching for action. The two Dark City guards firmly fixated themselves inside the worm vehicle.
Out of the blue...
A strong sll ca from the front!
"We’re here!"
Suddenly, one of the Dark City guards yelled!
Then, everyone just felt that the worm vehicle vibrated violently, and instantly, they were in a state of weightlessness.
"We’re falling!"
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
After a full half minute, sothing incredibly elastic blocks the worm vehicle, slowly stopping it, and then a violent shaking begins!
The worm vehicle imdiately senses danger, and it begins to struggle violently. The Darkness Guards constantly try to soothe the worm vehicle through their equipnt, but it isn’t very effective.
Suddenly, the light inside the vehicle disappears, the worm vehicle stops struggling and begins to curl up. This indicates that the worm vehicle has entered a state of fear, instinctively preparing to conceal itself.
Clack!
With a soft sound, the chitinous vehicle detaches from the tail of the worm vehicle. This is also an instinctive survival asure of the worm vehicle. These parts serve no purpose and are only a burden, so it begins to shed the unnecessary parts of its body, planning to flee with all its might.
"Dark Vision!" Long Yi shouts out, releasing a magic spell. Previously in the City of Darkness, Long Yi used his Giant talents to see clearly even in the gloom. Now, surrounded by total darkness, he relies on the magic of Dark Vision to see.
Dark Vision is a magic that uses one’s own mana radiating outwards and then utilizes the mana that bounces back to the eyes to provide vision. As there is no light spectrum, there is no color, only basic outlines. This magic was originally invented by a blind mage, and his na was recorded in history due to this invention.
Dark Vision takes effect imdiately, instantly providing a black and white view of the surroundings.
"Xiaoyou, quickly scout the surroundings," Long Yi shouts to Xiaoyou, yanking open the vehicle door.
The dark figure of the Shadow Dragon flies silently out of the vehicle, circling around for a speedy patrol.
The Dragon Clan is naturally equipped with Dark Vision, and Xiaoyou silently hovers, surveilling all circumstances in the surroundings.
At this mont, the worm vehicle is bound by a huge spider web.
The spider web is enormous, covering the entirety of the flat surface, with each strand of spider silk thicker than a human. There is a giant hole around it, seemingly naturally ford. From the web surface to the vertical height above, it spans several kiloters. Xiaoyou did not dare to fly too high, so it could not see what was at the top. There were nurous large and small caves all around. After Xiaoyou swiftly scouted them, it found nothing inside these caves.
Xiaoyou initially planned to scout the bottom of the web as well, but at that mont, six gigantic fireballs rose from below.
No! They’re not fireballs! They’re unmistakably six giant eyes!
This ti, even Long Yi is frightened.
The six eyes, even the smallest one, are larger than Long Yi himself. Through Xiaoyou’s eyes, Long Yi finally sees the massive body hanging beneath the web.
Didn’t they say it was only ten ters?
What a load of bull!
This spider is over a hundred ters long!
Long Yi initially thought that Bajie was already sizeable in terms of volu. He never expected that this Insect Catching Spider is even larger than Bajie!
"Hey, didn’t you guys say this thing is only ten ters? What’s going on?" Long Yi, breaking out in a cold sweat, asks the two Darkness Guards.
Originally, Long Yi still planned to kill the Insect Catching Spider the mont it appeared, thereby saving everyone. But, how could you just kill this creature asuring a hundred ters and more? Especially when you see those six eyes that look like fireballs, clearly containing Dragon Power!
How should he attack?
"It... It’s not an Insect Catching Spider..." One of the guards is completely terrified.
"Then what is it?"
"It’s a Dragon Hunting Spider! It was rumored to be in hiding and was still alive. I never thought... it really exists," the other guard mutters.
Darn it!
No wonder those six big eyes are full of Dragon Power!
Why didn’t I run into such good luck when buying a lottery ticket in the past? It’s true that a few Insect Catching Spiders had ambushed and devoured a dragon in the past, gaining the imnse power of the Dragon Clan and avoiding the joint hunt of the Dragon and Giant Clans by hiding underground.
But, according to this story, that was tens of thousands of years ago – how could it possibly still be alive? Even the Dragon Clan doesn’t live that long!
Then they see the Dragon Hunting Spider moving beneath the worm vehicle. The worm vehicle, over twenty ters long, looks no more formidable than a piece of spaghetti in front of the spider. The Dragon Hunting Spider doesn’t wrap the worm vehicle in silk as described, but imdiately stretches out two gigantic pincers, about to stab the worm vehicle!
Damn it, if it gets hit, this crowd will be done for right here! (To be Continued. If you like this work, please co to qidian to vote for recomndation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian to read.)
