Chapter 52
The team of men in black hats stood where Zhou Xiaohua and the others had left, all weighing things secretly.
On one side is Wang Xing, a space mutant carrying a huge amount of supplies, and on the other side is a sixth-level monster that has never faced a head-on confrontation. Everyone is undecided.
The taste of food is indeed tempting, but life is equally precious.
When they couldn't make up their minds, everyone looked at the man in the black hat, waiting for his instructions.
After a moment, the man in the black hat seemed to have made up his mind. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Follow them. Consider it compensation for robbing their supplies."
The meaning of this statement is very clear, which is to lend a helping hand to them in times of crisis.
The people below looked at each other and responded in unison: "Okay! We will always follow the boss."
As the team's strategist, the thief saw the boss make the decision and raised his hand along with everyone else. He also gave the team a sense of calm: "The boss's ability has long surpassed the high level. There will be no problem going this time."
With the thief's words, everyone's confidence suddenly increased.
"Yeah, with the boss here, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"So far, there hasn't been a psychic stronger than the boss, right?"
"Well, I don't think so. The strongest in the world are high-level. The boss surpassed the high-level a few years ago."
"What level is the boss?"
"That's not clear. Superpowers are only divided into low, medium and high. The ones stronger than high don't have names."
"That's right."
Everyone quickly came up with a plan, and led by the young boy in charge of gathering intelligence, they chased after Zhou Xiaohua's hunter team.
*
The mutant spider's lair was two hours away from the base. Zhou Xiaohua led the team in, and 15 minutes later the black-hatted men's team also arrived.
"This is it." The spy replied breathlessly. God knows how many times he had run back and forth today.
The man in the black hat stood at the entrance, squatted down and touched the dirt on the ground, staring sharply ahead, then pointed to the left: "They're going this way, let's go, follow them."
They had no idea about the rest of the journey and could only search step by step. While everyone was searching intensively, Zhou Xiaohua and others had already arrived at their destination.
This is a dense grove. The mutated plants are all low-level 1-2. Under the suppression of high-level monsters, they silently maintain their original plant characteristics and remain motionless, but their bright eyes are staring straight at Zhou Xiaohua and the others.
A birch tree mutated, its straight trunk becoming a rounded mound. It opened its mouth, revealing its cold, white teeth. "Hey, there's a kid out there who's not afraid of death."
Another conifer tree also cracked its mouth and echoed: "Kacha, there's something interesting to watch."
Many people did not understand the language of the mutant plants, but there was a plant-based mutant in their group. After he conveyed the conversations of these plants, the team fell into confusion.
These mutant plants are all low-level, and Zhou Xiaohua and his group are not afraid of them at all, but what worries them is the reaction of these mutant plants.
Generally speaking, if they broke into someone else's camp, both animals and plants would rise up in resistance, but the many plants in front of them were so peaceful and obedient, which was really incredible.
Zhou Xiaohua and Zhu Ke looked at each other and saw worry in each other's eyes.
He nodded twice and took a step back at the same time.
Before I could react, a loud "crunching" sound of chewing was heard, as if it was right in front of me.
Zhou Xiaohua's face suddenly darkened, and he ordered coldly, "Back off!"
As soon as the words fell, a sharp white steel wire came at them, like a snake with eyes, heading straight for the fatal points of everyone.
The surface of the steel wire is shiny, but if you look closely, you will find that it is not steel wire but sharp spider silk.
The two captains standing in the front were the first to react and used their supernatural powers to resist while retreating.
The spider silk was extremely sharp, like a freshly sharpened hob, but the weapons of the two captains were equally powerful.
Zhou Xiaohua used an ivory stick made from the ivory of a level 5 mutant elephant, and Zhu Ke used a top-quality scimitar produced by the weapon shop.
The two weapons collided with the spider silk, making a sharp "clang clang" sound, and Zhu Ke's knife even produced sparks from the friction.
Despite this, the spider silk did not break at all, and even showed signs of splitting forward.
The two captains suddenly opened their eyes wide and looked at the incredible scene in front of them. This spider silk is stronger than the fifth-level weapon. It seems that they have encountered a tough opponent this time.
The two of them instantly burst out with superpowers, and blue light radiated from the inside out, extending along their arms to their weapons.
Then he counterattacked, and the spider silk was finally repelled, and everyone saw the scene clearly.
Among the tall mutant plants, there are several huge spider webs distributed among them, which are so densely packed that people are about to suffer from claustrophobia.
In the middle of the spider web, spiders that had just returned from hunting were grabbing their prey and chewing them in big mouthfuls.
The two largest ones were of unknown rank. They had mutated into the size of an adult rhinoceros, their bodies pitch black, and one of their mouthparts was extremely sharp. They could chew a deer leg into a pulp with a few snaps, and the meat was squirming rapidly in their abdominal cavities. Blood and minced meat flowed from the corners of their mouths.
The pair of chelicerae on the front of its head were as thick as arms, and the pair of fangs at the end of the chelicerae were cold and piercing, with green venom slowly overflowing.
The slightly smaller ones are lighter in color and have all reached level 5, with a total of 10 of them.
The smaller ones seem to be still in their infancy, ranging from levels 1 to 4, with a total of more than 20.
Everyone stood not far below the spider web, looking up cautiously at the movements of the mutant spiders. The two big spiders just raised their heads from the food, and their eight huge compound eyes stared straight at the people on the ground, as if they were thinking about how to eat these ants.
An invisible fear condensed in the air, giving everyone goosebumps.
Being stared at by these two spiders of unknown rank, a chill spread from the spine to every limb. Some people began to breathe rapidly, as if an invisible hand was tightly strangling their throats.
What’s worse, my legs and feet started to feel weak and I walked forward uncontrollably.
Xiao Yihong is a person with healing abilities, and her resistance is hundreds of times greater than that of anyone else.
As her head became more and more dizzy, she pulled out a thin needle from her clothes and pricked her fingertip. The pain finally brought her to consciousness.
Xiao Yihong instantly activated her supernatural power, and holy light flowed out from her hands continuously, enveloping everyone like starlight.
With the help of the healing power, everyone woke up from their predicament and the fear in their hearts mostly dissipated.
Zhou Xiaohua stared at the green venom left on the edge of the fangs at the end of the mutant spider's chelicerae, his eyes gloomy. He didn't expect that this spider was so powerful that the venom could evaporate and penetrate the protection of the protective helmet and be inhaled into the human mouth and nose.
After everyone recovered, Xiao Yihong put away his special powers.
Inside the transparent helmet, cold sweat streamed down her forehead. This time, she had consumed too much of her supernatural power and she couldn't bear it for a moment.
Zhou Xiaohua gave her a worried look and raised his hand to signal her to step back: "You and Wang Xing are both support types, step back to the middle of the team."
In the few seconds that everyone was unconscious, the spiders had surrounded the team in a circle, and now they had no way to retreat.
Everyone is an experienced hunting team that has been in the dangerous forest for decades and is very familiar with mutant beasts. Now, these two mutant spiders of unknown level are like two mountains standing in everyone's mind.
This battle is likely to be disastrous.
The standoff was finally broken, and this time, all the spiders attacked.
Countless spider silks came from all directions, like strands of silk, trying to wrap everyone into a cocoon.
If they can't escape, they will either be eaten by spiders or be entangled in spider silk and minced into pieces.
Everyone activated their special powers and fought tenaciously. Zhou Xiaohua and Zhu Ke fought against two giant spiders respectively, and the others fought against low- and medium-level mutant beasts.
The opponents are all stronger than me, and this resistance is very difficult.
"The spider has poor eyesight, so we need to move quickly to blur its vision!"
At this time, the plant-based mutant spoke. Thanks to his previous research, he provided some ideas to everyone in trouble.
When everyone heard this, they immediately activated their special abilities and moved quickly.
Sure enough, the spider's attack was much slower, hitting either the stones or the birch trees. The birch and pine trees screamed in pain several times.
Once, twice... After several failures, the mutant spider began to get angry.
They opened their huge mouthparts and roared as they climbed down the tree. They flexibly shuttled among the branches, jumping continuously with the help of fine threads, and reached the ground in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Xiaohua and Zhu Ke were in sync, each leading one of the snakes to scatter.
It was far away before, but now that it is standing right in front of me, I realize how huge it is.
Its three pairs of giant legs controlled its direction, and its front pair of chelicerae swung left and right as it attacked the group. Its power was so great that Zhou Xiaohua almost lost his grip several times.
Looking at the huge pit on the ground, and then taking a quick glance at his teammates who were about to fall below, Zhou Xiaohua's heart suddenly skipped a beat. If he didn't fight quickly, he would be the only one to suffer.
When the large mutant spider attacked again, Zhou Xiaohua jumped nimbly, flipped in the air and landed on the spider's back. He pulled out the sharp knife from his waist and inserted it into the mutant spider's abdomen with all his strength.
But unexpectedly, there was a layer of hard scales on the spider's abdomen, and it was impossible to penetrate it for a while. Zhou Xiaohua's eyes darkened, and he raised the sharp knife again and stabbed it continuously, this time with a powerful supernatural power.
Zhou Xiaohua did not dare to slack off at all. He stabbed the knife again and again, and finally the sharp knife stabbed in. Disgusting black mucus began to flow out.
The mutant spider felt pain in its abdomen, and its several pairs of legs crawled faster. It jumped up and down, trying to throw the thing off its shoulder.
Zhou Xiaohua grabbed its back tightly, and even though his hands were bleeding, he did not dare to relax even a little.
Zhu Ke was already defeated, but he didn't dare to run away because his teammates were right next to him. If he didn't step forward to block them, several of his teammates might die.
The mutant spider waved its claws and attacked one after another. Zhu Ke struggled to hold the scimitar, but was overwhelmed.
He barely managed to take the first move, the second was a bit risky, but his palm began to feel numb, the third move sent him back in shock, the fourth move sent him plummeting to the ground with a slap, the next one was right in front of him, and he had no time to block it.
At the critical moment, Li Meng appeared in front of Zhu Ke. She made a ball of fire in her palm and threw it at the mutant spider. The mutant spider was caught off guard by the fire attack and began to retreat. Li Meng took the opportunity to take Zhu Ke and quickly retreat to the side.
She handed Zhu Ke to Xiao Yihong and said weakly, "Save him!"
