Chapter 398 The Terrifying Human-Faced Corpse Spider
"ah--!"
A heart-wrenching scream rang out.
Han Shuo quickly turned around and looked, and there he saw!
A thin spider silk emerged from the sea of fire on the right side of the rear. After sticking to the arm of an ordinary survivor in the crowd, the silk instantly straightened, pulling the survivor straight into the sea of fire.
From the moment the spider silk appeared to the moment the survivor disappeared, it all happened in an instant; the soldiers firing nearby didn't even have time to react.
"ah--!"
Another scream rang out from the other side of the sea of fire. After the sound, a pair of purple eyes flashed briefly at the gap in the fire before disappearing again.
Han Shuo knew that the moment the face-shaped corpse spider reappeared, the first victim appeared!
...
The fat man happened to witness the spider silk retracting, and to be honest, the scene just now really frightened him.
"Holy crap, what the hell is this thing? Isn't its spider silk fireproof?"
Han Shuo frowned and did not respond to him; this was not the time to consider this issue.
He felt that this human-faced corpse spider, like an assassin, was treating everyone here as a game of hunting.
This kind of fighting style was truly the first time he had ever encountered it...
At this moment, a flash of anger crossed Qingyu's face. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and ran back.
He couldn't bear to see his people die one after another at the hands of the human-faced corpse spider.
However, the moment he set off, the spider silk reappeared, and this time, a soldier was pulled into the sea of fire.
"ah--!"
Screams rang out again, and in less than five seconds, two people had died.
"asshole!"
Qingyu roared, left a sentence behind, and disappeared into the crowd.
"Han Shuo, you come and help me out!"
...
At the same time, Han Shuo glanced back in the direction Qing Yu had left, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and chased after her.
He knew that at this moment, he could no longer hide his strength; apart from Feng, the two of them were the strongest fighters here.
Qingyu can protect some people, but he is only one person after all. In this situation, it is indeed necessary for him to go and help out.
Because they were all crammed onto this narrow path, the battle lines in front and behind were quite long.
If the faceless spiders are allowed to continue their rampage, the main force's combat strength will eventually be weakened to the point where it cannot withstand the swarm of zombie spiders from the rear.
By then, if their rear is breached, they will be in an even more dangerous situation.
Because the swarm of necromancy spiders ahead obviously cannot be cleared away in a short time.
The next second, Han Shuo also disappeared from the sight of the fat man and the others.
"Wind, please take care of them for me!"
...
Just as Han Shuo was running towards the center, several more survivors were pulled into the sea of fire by the spider silk.
At this moment, panicked and fearful voices rang out from the crowd.
This kind of enemy, hidden deep inside and unseen, has indeed terrified many people.
Soon, Qingyu arrived at the rear of the main force, while Han Shuo also arrived in the middle.
Two highly skilled fighters were stationed at two different points, so that when the face-shaped spiders attacked again, they could lend a helping hand to the soldiers around them.
Just then, a spider silk emerged from the sea of fire again, its target being Yu Qing, who was not far from Han Shuo!
As expected, before she could even react, the spider silk had already stuck to her arm.
brush!
In the critical moment, Han Shuo quickly moved two steps to the side, decisively wielding his Tang sword and severing the spider silk with a single strike, saving Yu Qing.
...
"Th-thank you!"
Yu Qing was clearly quite startled. She nodded to Han Shuo and expressed her gratitude.
"Sister-in-law, please step back a bit so that everyone can gather together."
Han Shuo immediately blocked Yu Qing behind him and said quickly without turning his head.
"clear!"
Yu Qing was also a decisive person. After hearing Han Shuo's reminder, she quickly made adjustments.
From that last strike, she already knew that Han Shuo was capable of reacting to the spider silk attack.
Such a person would not be easily dragged into the sea of fire by the human-faced corpse spider.
What she needed to do at that moment was to keep Han Shuo from getting distracted and to lead everyone in protecting herself.
"Brothers, retreat a bit!"
Yu Qing waved her hand, ordering all the soldiers beside her to retreat to a distance of two meters behind them.
Immediately afterwards, they stood close together, in a formation that meant that even if they didn't have time to dodge the spider silk attacks, they could still reach out and pull out someone next to them who was stuck in the silk at the last moment.
...
At the same time, whether it was bad luck or something else, the face-shaped corpse spiders launched two consecutive attacks, both of which were aimed at him.
This time, the spider silk shot directly towards his chest.
"So fast!"
When Han Shuo faced the attack of the human-faced corpse spider head-on, he realized just how fast the spider silk was.
Even with his skill, he only had time to shift to the side and dodge by a small step.
The next second, the spider silk wrapped around his left arm, and then he felt a huge, strange force pulling at his body.
In the critical moment, Han Shuo steadied himself and slashed down with his right hand, severing the spider silk once again.
Only then did he notice a red mark about half a centimeter long on his left arm.
"No wonder it can drag people over directly; up close, this spider silk is actually quite thick."
He muttered to himself, then quickly and disgustedly shook off the spider silk from his arm.
Because he felt that the spider silk had a cool, sticky sensation when it touched his body.
It is precisely because of this sticky, cool liquid clinging to the spider silk that it is not burned by the flames when it bursts out of the fire.
...
After its two consecutive attacks failed, the face-shaped corpse spider seemed to realize that Han Shuo was a tough nut to crack.
It didn't persist, quickly changed direction, moved to the back of the crowd, and launched an attack on Qingyu.
Whoosh!
In the instant Qingyu turned his head, a spider silk appeared before his eyes.
He reacted a step slower than Han Shuo and had no time to dodge, so he could only use the shovel to block in front of him.
Subsequently, the shovel became stuck with spider silk.
The next moment, he felt the same strange force in his hands. To his surprise, even with all his strength, he was no match for the strength of the human-faced corpse spider.
Left with no other choice, he had to abandon the military shovel in his hand and let the spider silk pull him into the sea of fire.
Perhaps because its three attacks failed to drag the person over, the face-shaped corpse spider became much angrier.
And there it was!
The spider silk reappeared, but this time, it did not attack anyone. Instead, it stuck its silk to a dead tree across the street that had not yet started to burn.
Then, the spider silk taut, and the human-faced corpse spider appeared in mid-air, dragging its body straight towards the other side of the crowd.
When Qingyu saw this scene, her heart trembled.
"broken!"
