Chapter 272 The Red Spider's Attack
"Holy crap, where did all these mutated beasts and mutated insects come from? They even know how to ambush us!"
Chen Tao swung the dagger he had conjured, and said with lingering fear.
"Don't get distracted. I reckon our arrival has drawn them all out."
These are all mutated, and they might even carry some kind of deadly poison, so everyone be careful! Don't get hurt by them!
Han Xiao looked grave, never expecting that they would be besieged by these mutated insects and mutated beasts.
But she didn't have time to think about it. With a wave of her hand, a huge wall of fire appeared in front of her, blocking the path of the mutated spider.
However, at that moment, a mutated red spider of enormous size dangled down from the tree.
Its body is covered with legs; if someone with trypophobia saw it, they would probably faint from fright.
Moreover, each of the red spider's legs was covered with sharp little thorns, and it was not afraid of Han Xiao's wall of fire.
As it approached the wall of fire, it quickly spit out long, thin strands of spider silk.
The spiders, carrying a sticky, fishy stench, shot through the wall of fire and towards the people behind it.
Seeing this, Gu Xinyan swung her spirit sword and cut off the spider silk that was shooting at her. The situation was different from when they encountered the mutated rat swarm earlier.
They were able to handle things with ease just now, but now they dared not stray too far from Han Xiao and his companions. After all, there were too many mutated creatures coming, and who knew if any of them were highly poisonous.
Although Han Xiao and his two companions were all powerful individuals with supernatural abilities, they were still afraid of the worst-case scenario. If they weren't careful and were bitten by a mutated creature carrying a deadly poison, they would be done for.
So with her and Gu Xinya here, it can at least provide some protection for Han Xiao and the other two, right?
The cutting of the spider silk did not discourage the mutated red spider; instead, it sped up its silk-spinning speed once again.
Those densely packed silk threads, passing through the wall of fire, actually managed to split the wall of fire into two pieces.
The onlookers who witnessed this scene were speechless.
This is truly a mutated spider! It's definitely the king of spiders, practically a fighter jet among spiders.
As the fire wall was split, the spider minions that had been staying in place started marching towards them on the other side of the fire wall with indifferent steps.
Han Xiao: ""
After giving a thorough dressing-down, Han Xiao then withdrew the wall of fire.
After all, maintaining the fire wall also requires expending the body's supernatural energy, so if it can be withstood, then it's not a big deal.
But this would be pointless; it's better to take it back and save the ability for the upcoming battle.
"This spider looks unusual! It's not afraid of fire! And its silk... I bet it's evolved!" Gu Xinya couldn't help but complain.
"This looks like a good item; it might even be a great material for refining weapons! Let's go, let's take it!"
Yan Xiyun stared intently at the red spider with bright eyes. This was even more exciting than killing zombies. With that, she brandished her sword and charged forward.
Seeing this, Gu Xinya and Gu Xinyan, who were standing nearby, quickly followed.
Meanwhile, Han Xiao and his two companions, seeing that Gu Xinyan and the others were already fighting with the red spider, thought for a moment and quickly moved closer to help defend against the attacks from other mutated creatures.
And so, a fierce battle broke out. This was already this intense before they even reached the location of the mutated deer herd. It was unimaginable what they would encounter if they went any further in.
However, the six of them had no time to think about anything else at this moment. They continuously bombarded the red spider with their spiritual energy and supernatural abilities. Unlike Han Xiao and his two companions, who would occasionally launch sneak attacks, Gu Xinyan and her two companions faced the attack head-on.
All three had protective shields, so the red spider's venom could not harm them. Han Xiao and the others were far away, so they were not affected by the venom.
However, the mutated beasts and mutated insects that were nearby were not so lucky; they all got some of the venom on them.
A hissing sound rang out continuously, accompanied by the shrill cries of the mutated beasts and insects, and the ground was also corroded with large holes.
"That's really toxic!" Gu Xinya couldn't help but exclaim in shock at the horrific scene.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement; it was indeed ruthless! But without such ruthlessness, he probably wouldn't have been able to sit on the Spider King's throne!
After all, judging from the red spider and the way the other spiders treated it, you could tell it was no ordinary creature.
Just as the fight was getting intense, the red spider seemed to realize that things were going to get very bad for it.
Suddenly, a thicker stream of venom with a pungent odor was sprayed into the air.
The venom was black, and it exploded in the air the moment it was sprayed out, causing the air to hiss as if it were being corroded.
As soon as the venom appeared, the mutated beasts and mutated insects that were just jumping around suddenly foamed at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.
The crowd was stunned by this scene:
Is this red spider a bit dim-witted? How can it not distinguish friend from foe? And how come they're unharmed? The venom looks extraordinary.
"Our protective shield can block anything that could harm us when it senses danger."
So as long as the three of you aren't too far from us, the protective shield will cover you. Therefore, the venom is only slightly unpleasant to us; the shield blocks all other harm!
Seeing the bewildered looks on Han Xiao and the other two's faces, Gu Xinyan spoke up to explain to them.
This protective shield is an all-purpose shield produced by the main system, capable of protecting the bound host and shop staff, ensuring their safety in this other world.
Normally it is barely noticeable, but the protective shield will be automatically activated when it detects that they are in danger.
Anything that is detected as a threat to their lives will be blocked, regardless of what it is.
Upon hearing this, Han Xiao and the other two were speechless.
Hmm! Another day of envying those big shots. That protective shield is simply their dream!
So, those envious glances made Gu Xinyan and the other two unable to help but chuckle.
Meanwhile, Red Spider, who was ignored by the six of them, is now questioning his existence.
Red Spider: "
