Chapter 014 Fat Bugs
"Go to the rooftop." Mo Xuanji said.
Judging from the current situation, the best solution is to lead the spiders to the roof. Moreover, the weird one must be lurking on the roof at this time. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must catch the leader first. If you kill the source, you don't need to worry about these small spiders.
"good."
The three of them changed directions in tacit agreement. Mo Xuanji raised his hand, and the green wind energy flowed in his hand, and soon a wind ball with a diameter of one meter appeared in front of him.
Precisely controlling the range of supernatural powers was a skill that was still a bit difficult for Mo Xuanji at the moment. After the wind ball was formed, its volume was a bit unstable, but fortunately, it was able to maintain a stable range in the end.
Mo Xuanji controlled the wind ball to move up the building, while Shen Liuxue and Zhu Changan were responsible for clearing the insects attacking from the back. A road briefly appeared where the wind ball passed, and the three of them rushed to the top of the building quickly using the road opened by the wind ball.
The rustling sound became more and more frequent. Zhu Changan turned his head subconsciously and his scalp went numb.
The spiders piled up one after another, surging up the stairs like a flood. A pair of big black eyes stared at him intently, constantly approaching him.
"Originally, I prefer spiders, such as the hairy black widow." Zhu Changan's face turned pale and blue.
"What do you want to say now?" Shen Liuxue casually chopped down a spider that was approaching him and made a beautiful sword flower.
"From now on I will reject all arthropods, especially those with eight legs and big eyes. When I return, I will immediately post a rebuttal to the poster. Big-eyed creatures are not necessarily 100% cute, and there are also the soul-hunting ones like the one below!"
Mo Xuanji wanted to laugh when he heard this.
Even though the situation was so tense, as soon as Zhu Changan opened his mouth, the mood involuntarily became more relaxed. Thanks to him, Mo Xuanji's psychological pressure was invisibly reduced.
As they were talking, the three of them had already run to the sixth floor.
It seemed that the property people started to get lazy after painting the sixth floor. There was not much white paint on the wall, and few spiders crawling out of it. The wind ball just rolled up and cleaned it up cleanly.
"Huh, I must investigate the so-called property carefully when I get back. Now I can be 100% sure that this white paint is related to the weirdness." Shen Liuxue recorded this scene with a mission recorder.
There is a one-meter-wide square skylight on the ceiling of the stairwell on the sixth floor, from which you can directly reach the roof. To go up, you have to step on the ladder on the wall.
It's called a ladder, but it's actually a few sections of blue steel pipes embedded in the wall. When it was first installed, in order to prevent children from climbing around, even the bottom section was not far from the ground.
Mo Xuanji threw the wind ball full of spiders behind him and added a wind wall. The strong wind blew the "front line" back a distance.
"Hurry, climb up through the skylight within ten seconds. I'll be the last one to leave you behind."
Shen Liuxue and Zhu Changan didn't waste any time and quickly rushed over. They believed in Mo Xuanji's judgment of the timing and his strength. If they hesitated and refused at this time, they would be sending their companions to death.
Fortunately, none of the three people failed in the end.
In the third second, Zhu Changan pushed open the stone slab covering the skylight.
In the seventh second, Shen Liuxue reached the top of the building.
In the ninth second, Mo Xuanji was pulled up by his two companions.
In the tenth second, a swarm of insects swarmed in, gushing out of the skylight like a fountain.
Shen Liuxue snorted coldly, and the ice power stopped suppressing them, and quickly sealed all the spiders in the ice. The spiders maintained their forward posture, stuck there, unable to move up or down. The spiders below were blocked and could not come up for a while.
Mo Xuanji squatted on the ground, his hands shaking uncontrollably. Although he was very confident in his speed, he still inevitably developed a fear of death when he was about to be drowned by the spider swarm.
"Look! What is that?" Zhu Changan pointed forward in surprise.
I saw an orange-red barrier rising from the ground below, and then slowly opened up, turning into a huge hemisphere covering the entire building, isolating it.
"This is a barrier specially used to prevent the spread of weirdness." Shen Liuxue quickly figured it out: "Senior Wang is quite fast."
As strange creatures, these spiders will also be judged as strange by defensive charms and barriers. Now there is a barrier to seal the door downstairs, the skylight is blocked by spider ice sculptures, and the doors and windows of the residents are covered with defensive charms. These spiders are stuck in the corridor, unable to go up or down, and unable to appear as a strange rescue.
The fiery clouds on the horizon are brilliant in color, leading the setting sun as it slowly sinks into a dream.
The weirdness detector on Mo Xuanji's waist suddenly turned on automatically. In just a few seconds, the weirdness index jumped back and forth, and finally stabilized at level B.
The three of them paused in their breathing, and at the same time looked in the direction where the instrument produced the reaction.
Old-style residential buildings like this usually have a separate small utility room on the flat roof. Now, it is wrapped in layers of spider silk, like a cocoon.
The sounds of "clacking" and sharp objects hitting the concrete floor continued to come from inside.
"Bang!" "Bang!" The collision sounds became more and more rapid.
"Wait! Aren't spiders usually active at night? It's not even night yet!"
"Our friend probably didn't sleep well and woke up early." Shen Liuxue gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and joked.
Mo Xuanji stood up silently.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time for all three of them to face the weird.
The thumping sounds inside the cocoon became more and more intense, and then a crack appeared on the cocoon. Several long, thin limbs stretched out from it.
The crack became bigger and bigger, and a dark figure emerged from it. Its eight slender legs moved rhythmically on the cocoon, but the most eye-catching thing was its eight huge eyes, which were dark and made people feel creepy.
This thing looked exactly like the common house ghost spider, except that it was filled with a strange and unique black aura, and its size was thousands of times larger. At least it looked much taller than the three people present.
So plump... No, what is he thinking? He is not hungry now, why is he drooling at the sight of insects?
Mo Xuanji had no expression on his face and rushed forward decisively.
Unlike those "little soldiers", this spider brother can spit out silk. Mo Xuanji's speed is extremely fast. Spider brother shoots a lot of spider silk behind him like a machine gun, and he doesn't even touch the corner of Mo Xuanji's clothes.
Brother Spider was furious, his long thin legs became extremely hard, and he chased after Mo Xuanji with a cold light.
While Brother Spider's attention was on Mo Xuanji, Zhu Changan and Shen Liuxue looked at each other and rushed forward quickly.
The spider seemed to notice them, but was too busy harassing Mo Xuanji to respond.
Zhu Changan turned over and rode on Spider Brother's back. The furry touch made him feel a little scared, but he still gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and smashed down hard.
"Today, I came here only after having a full meal!" Zhu Changan roared and punched the spider again and again. As he swung his fists, a light khaki color covered his body.
The spider's back was hit hard and several large holes were left on it.
Shen Liuxue attached the ice power to the sword, and every move was aimed at Brother Spider's abdomen.
According to common sense, there is a crystal in the abdomen of the strange, which can be regarded as their life gate. As long as this crystal can be destroyed, the strange will die completely and there will be no possibility of resurrection.
It was just like a team battle dungeon. The squishy Mo Xuanji relied on his extraordinary speed and stable aggro to make the boss run all over the field, while the swordsman Shen Liuxue and the tank Zhu Changan followed behind the boss and dealt damage.
Although this is our first collaboration, we surprisingly have a rapport.
It seemed that it finally realized the danger. The moment Shen Liuxue cut off one of its legs, Brother Spider exploded.
At the same time, Wilde downstairs suddenly discovered that the group of small spiders that were originally trapped and struggling in the corridor had disappeared.
Black gas exploded from Brother Spider's body and rushed in all directions.
Zhu Changan was blown away, and after rolling on the ground for a few times, he got up. The khaki light on his hands was still there, and Zhu Changan immediately understood.
"Rock Blade!" The ground spike suddenly pierced out from under Spider Brother. Although it failed to injure the vital parts, it fixed it firmly in place.
Mo Xuanji summoned dense wind blades while retreating. The wind blades whizzed towards Brother Spider, and the blue supernatural power was mixed with the sword light belonging to Shen Liuxue.
The crystal shattered, killing him in one blow.
Brother Spider's body froze in place, then turned into ashes and disappeared under the moonlight.
"It's over."
The three of them then realized that it was already dark.
Mo Xuanji sat on the ground panting, his physical energy consumption was too great. He was in a state of excitement just now and didn't feel anything, but after the enemy was eliminated, the effect of adrenaline gradually faded, and he realized belatedly that he was already in a state of fatigue.
Fortunately, compared with this month's devilish training, this is nothing.
The wind was a bit loud, and Mo Xuanji was a bit confused. He suddenly realized that the surroundings were a bit too quiet. Originally there were three people breathing, but now there was only his own breathing.
He raised his head and his pupils suddenly contracted.
The sky was shattered at some point, and a scarlet space appeared from the cracks.
There was no moon in the sky, and he was not on the roof of the Happy Community. He was kneeling in the ruins, with charred human corpses beside him.
Mo Xuanji's heart was about to jump out of his chest: "System!"
There was no response. Just now during the battle, the system would occasionally complain about his lack of combat awareness, but now it was as if it had never happened.
Mo Xuanji covered his chest and tried to calm himself down. However, under the stimulation of the smell of the same corpse, the feeling of fear was always like a lump in his throat.
The clothes on the corpse seemed familiar. Although Mo Xuanji had always had a good memory, she couldn't remember who it was at this moment.
