Chapter 399 Fierce Battle Against the Human-Faced Corpse Spider
As the face-shaped corpse spider leaped to the other side of the crowd, it immediately launched another attack.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
It sprayed spider silk continuously from its mouth; this time, it sprayed out three strands of spider silk in succession.
The three spider silk threads stuck to the three soldiers respectively. Even with the help of their companions, they were no match for its monstrous strength. In an instant, the three soldiers were dragged into the sea of fire.
Only then did Han Shuo realize that the Human-Faced Corpse Spider had not been using its full strength.
...
"Oh shit!"
As Qingyu watched his three brothers disappear before his eyes, he could no longer hold back and cursed loudly.
His eyes were filled with anger. He casually pulled out a military shovel from the waist of a soldier next to him, then quickly jumped over the crowd and ran to the other side of the road.
Han Shuo, who was not far away, also followed closely behind.
The two of them stared intently at the sea of fire ahead.
Unfortunately, the faceless spider seemed to have become smarter; its silk no longer shot towards the people next to the two, but instead targeted the soldiers who were a little further away.
Whenever the spider silk appeared, Han Shuo and Qing Yu would instantly move their positions, and each time they were just a little bit off from catching up.
And so, one soldier after another, one survivor after another, disappeared before their very eyes.
The situation is becoming increasingly dire!
...
"Whoosh~whoosh~whoosh..."
At the same time, Qingyu was slightly out of breath. He knew that this couldn't go on, so he quickly shouted and made emergency adjustments.
"All survivors, grab onto the clothes of the soldiers in front, stay connected, and don't let go!"
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone present began to move.
He grabbed him, he grabbed her, and she grabbed him...
In a short time, the survivors in the crowd were connected as if by a rope.
Behind almost every soldier, there were no fewer than 10 people lined up, reaching out to grab him.
Sure enough, this move worked wonders.
When the spider silk stuck to one of the soldiers again, the human-faced corpse spider pulled hard, preventing the soldier from being dragged into the sea of fire once more.
Left with no other choice, it had to cut the spider silk on the other side of the sea of fire and abandon its prey.
Although it is very strong, it has its limits. The combined strength of more than a dozen people, even if they are not genetically modified humans, is still not to be underestimated.
Upon witnessing this scene, Qingyu felt a rare surge of joy.
"Alright, alright, alright! Everyone, keep your formation and don't let go!"
...
However, after two unsuccessful attempts to shoot silk, the face-shaped corpse spider finally launched its next attack.
It crouched on the tree trunk, leaped, and appeared directly in front of everyone after leaping over the sea of fire.
It's about to launch a melee attack!
"Ah! Run! That's scary!"
"Too, too terrifying, too terrifying..."
"No, no!"
...
In an instant, when the survivors saw the enormous creature up close, they were completely terrified.
The human-faced corpse spider is already two meters long, and when it stands upright with its eight legs outstretched, its height even exceeds four meters.
When such a huge, ferocious-looking monster appears before everyone, how can one not feel fear?
The next second, it launched its attack, raising a long, thin, and sharp foreleg that pierced the skull of a soldier in front of it.
"ah--!"
A scream rang out, and after the sound subsided, the soldier collapsed into a pool of blood, showing no signs of life whatsoever.
...
On the other side, the moment Han Shuo and Qing Yu saw the human-faced corpse spider appear, they grabbed their weapons and rushed over without hesitation.
The next moment, the close-quarters battle between the two men and the spider officially began.
brush!
Han Shuo took the lead, wielding his Tang sword and slashing horizontally at one of the legs of the human-faced corpse spider on its left front.
"bite!"
After the strange noise, he felt his right arm go numb from the shock, and the impact of the Tang sword also caused the human-faced corpse spider to stagger a few steps to the side.
However, the leg he cut off was not broken; the Tang sword only left a few millimeters of notch on it.
"So hard! Just like iron!"
Han Shuo frowned and muttered to himself. After his attack failed, he quickly took two steps back.
At this moment, Qingyu from behind also launched an attack.
He leaped forward, gripping the military shovel tightly with both hands, aiming the bladed end directly at the face of the human-faced corpse spider.
He wanted to see if the monster's face was still as hard as its long legs.
"Damn it, die!"
With a shout choked with gritted teeth, the military shovel struck the target directly.
...
"Sizzle—!"
Suddenly, the human-faced corpse spider seemed to be in extreme pain and let out a scream.
Half of its face was smashed by Qingyu's military shovel, and even its purple eyes became much dimmer.
Indeed, its human face is its weakness.
Unfortunately, this attack did not kill it outright. By the time it realized what was happening, it quickly spat out a ball of spider silk from its mouth in a counterattack.
"snort!"
Qingyu snorted coldly. He was prepared and kicked the faceless spider on the forehead the moment it opened its mouth. The force of the kick not only helped him dodge the spider silk attack but also sent him back to safety.
Humans who have undergone Level 5 evolution and whose computing power has been enhanced also possess their own advantages.
...
Then, Han Shuo and Qing Yu nodded to each other and launched a second round of attacks together.
Just now, their attack was somewhat of a sneak attack. After the face-shaped corpse spider targeted them, it became much more difficult for Han Shuo and his companion to strike its face.
Fortunately, both of them were extremely skilled, so they were not in any immediate danger.
And so, the two sides began to fight.
After a prolonged battle, Han Shuo finally realized how terrifying the human-faced corpse spider was.
It turns out that its eight long legs are its main weapons for close-range attacks.
As the saying goes, two fists can't beat four hands. Although he was fighting alongside Qingyu, the two of them could only play a restraining role in the face of the attack of eight long legs. After all, those long legs covered in spikes would poke at their foreheads from time to time.
If the two want to kill the enemy, the first thing they need to do is protect themselves.
...
Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, the sea of fire had already set the withered trees behind them ablaze.
The temperature around us was rising, and the air was filled with a scorching heat.
Qingyu's forehead was already covered in sweat. He knew that he could not delay any longer, otherwise, if the sea of fire continued to burn, they would be burned to death here sooner or later.
However, just as he was about to bravely withstand the attack of the human-faced corpse spider and risk his life.
Suddenly, there was movement at the very front of the line.
