Chapter 422 Devouring Spider

Upon hearing the alarm, those who hadn't fallen asleep immediately got up and quickly knocked on the back door of the driver's cab. Yuanyuan opened the door and said, "Come in quickly."

Xi Yan walked to the driver's side door. A dense array of small bright spots appeared in front of him, and the magnetic field became oppressive. Xi Yan immediately turned on his communicator and asked the other vehicle, "Team leader, something's up. How's it going on your end?"

Zhuge Qianxing's voice came through the communicator: "We've already taken defensive measures. How's it going on your end?"

Xi Yan replied, "We have also made preparations for defense and are ready to fight at any time."

Zhuge Qianxing said, "Open the defenses. The ones outside are Ghost-Eating Spiders. They are extremely venomous. One bite will paralyze your whole body. If the light on their tail is destroyed, it will immediately corrode your skin. Do not attack them. You must stay in touch at all times."

Xi Yan saw that the Devouring Spider had already pressed against the glass in front of him. They could see it clearly without turning on the light. The light was not glaring. They saw the animal in front of them. It looked like a spider, but it had two pairs of wings and its mouth took up half of its body. When it opened its mouth, its teeth were densely packed, making it look very scary. If it weren't so small, it would be a very terrifying monster.

The three girls weren't scared. After getting closer, they observed each other carefully. Zhu Fanfan said, "It looks disgusting."

Yuanyuan said, "It really is disgusting."

Manman's face was full of excitement: "These things are poisonous, can we absorb the toxins?"

Zhu Fanfan said, "Try to project your spiritual energy outwards. It's close to the glass. As long as you control it, you can draw out the toxins from a distance."

Full of confidence but not much: "I'm not a mentalist, my mental strength isn't that strong."

It's true that anyone with superpowers can cultivate mental strength, but mental strength accounts for a very small proportion. She naturally knows that with strong mental strength, she can directly absorb toxins. She's afraid that with her current level of mental strength, she can only absorb one Ghost-Eating Spider, and won't be able to absorb a second one. However, there are Ghost-Eating Spiders everywhere outside, so even if she absorbs them, it will be just a drop in the ocean and won't be of any help. It would be better to just fight a battle directly.

Zhu Fanfan patted her on the shoulder: "Where there's a will, there's a way. You give it a try first."

He picked up the communicator and asked, "Grandpa Zhuge, what are the weaknesses of these poisonous spiders?"

Zhuge Qianxing said, "The most important thing about the Ghost-Eating Spider is the light on its tail. Once it's broken, it's dead. It doesn't have much combat power, but the trouble is its venom. It's not only extremely corrosive, but it also ignores supernatural abilities, so this kind of thing is the most difficult to deal with."

Nie Gao, who was behind, took the communicator and said, "Team leader, I remember that the Devouring Spider is the most important thing in refining space equipment. It is most afraid of pungent smells. Is there anything pungent in the things we brought?"

After a while, Zhuge Qianxing said, "We have the powder of withered leaf grass. It has an extremely strong smell that alien beasts will not approach. We don't know if it will work on the Ghost-Eating Spider. It's in your car, but if we want to burn this powder, someone has to go out. Have you thought about what to do? There are Ghost-Eating Spiders outside. If you go out and get contaminated, your life will be in danger."

Xi Yan replied, "I'll go out. I have fire powers, they shouldn't dare to come near me."

Zhuge Qianxing retorted, "You absolutely cannot go out. Although they live in the icy and snowy world, they are fire-type creatures. Fire is a great tonic for them. If you go out, your whole body will be covered in lice. Moreover, the Ghost-Eating Spiders will automatically break when they are startled and the lights are turned on."

Nie Gao then said, "I'm a water element user, so can I go out?"

The Ghost-Eating Spider is only recorded in ancient books; he has never seen it. The books only describe its appearance and function, but not its weaknesses. They all thought that the Ghost-Eating Spider did not exist in the world.

Zhuge Qianxing refused again: "Your superpower is a bit weak, and you'll get injured if you go out. You juniors shouldn't act rashly. I'll think of a way."

Zhu Fanfan asked, "Can we use our mental energy to change our own magnetic field so that they can't sense us, and then go out and ignite the medicinal powder?"

This car is so advanced! It's equipped with a smoke-proof system to prevent fires if someone is inside. It extinguishes any smoke. If she hadn't lived here for so many years, she would have thought she was back in the 21st century just from the features of this car.

Zhuge Qianxing waited a while before relaying the message: "It's feasible, Fanfan. Only the two of us can do this; other people with mental abilities can't do it."

Therefore, he particularly cherishes mental abilities. As long as one's mental strength is strong, in such situations, as long as one changes their own magnetic field, the spiders on the other side will not be able to detect their existence. A sneak attack is the best option. When encountering powerful monsters, mental strength can influence them to lower their guard. However, to achieve this, one needs strong mental strength. He has only felt this way with Zhu Fanfan so far.

Zhu Fanfan said, "Nie Gaoze and Brother Xi Yan have taken out the medicine powder. I'll send you a few portions. Do you have a lighter?"

Zhuge Qianxing simply said casually, "I still have fire-based abilities." The little girl didn't care about him at all.

Zhu Fanfan: ...Is now the time to be resentful?

Xi Yan said, "This is a tinderbox, made using weapon-refining techniques. It can still be lit even if the outside air freezes. Be careful outside, and come back immediately if anything seems wrong. I'll be waiting to open the door for you."

Zhuge Qianxing instructed, "When you open the door, the rest of you should use your special abilities to protect yourselves and control the Ghost-Eating Spiders that come in. Don't kill them. Fanfan, once you're ready, we'll go out."

Zhu Fanfan said, "I'm ready."

Using her mental power to alter the magnetic field, she opened and closed the door in one smooth motion. After running a short distance, she looked back at the car and was horrified. Anyone with trypophobia would faint on the spot. The Devouring Spiders were blocking the car completely, layer upon layer, like miniature light bulbs. Zhu Fanfan quickly put some of them into her spatial storage, as they were taking up too much space.

She quickly lit the powder with a tinderbox, the name of which she couldn't remember. The smoke drifted slowly because of the cold. The Ghost Spider, attracted by the smoke, simply stopped coming near her. She placed the powder on the roof of the truck, and the Ghost Spider finally left the truck, though it still lingered around.

Grandpa Zhuge's order was to stun them. It's fine if they're stunned, but they can't be killed. If one dies, the other Devouring Spiders will lose their minds and charge forward recklessly.

Zhu Fanfan could only store all the Devouring Spiders in her spatial storage, placing them in the Black Mist Green Lotus area to prevent them from escaping. She collected wave after wave, but the number of Devouring Spiders only increased. This wasn't a solution. She then saw that Grandpa Zhuge behind her was using his mental power to stun the Devouring Spiders.

Zhu Fanfan walked over and said, "Don't bother, there are more and more Ghost-Eating Spiders here. The medicine powder isn't working. Is there any other way?"

Zhuge Qianxing and Zhu Fanfan moved further away from the Devouring Spiders and saw more and more of them buzzing over, surrounding the truck so tightly that they could no longer see the truck body.
