While everyone was still stunned, the spider boss launched a new offensive.
The spider silk it spat out began to attack the group again.
Having learned from past mistakes, people began to panic.
The worst thing is getting tangled in or touched by spider silk, which could be fatal.
No one takes chances with their life; they only cherish it more.
Upon seeing the spider silk shooting towards them, most superhumans subconsciously began to dodge, afraid of being stuck.
However, avoiding the danger only increases the risk and does not reduce the risk to one's life.
"Everyone, stay alert! Don't let a little fright get you down. Get back to your positions and be careful. If we maintain our current offensive and defensive posture, we still have hope. The more afraid you are, the more you boost the enemy's morale. Calm down, dumping the body won't solve anything, it will only get you killed."
Xiang Yuping didn't expect that he could break these people's mentality in such a short time.
He could only utter a few words to stun the crowd, then slowly encourage everyone.
His method did have some effect.
There aren't too many, after all, fear isn't something that just disappears overnight.
Cheng Shaolin didn't have time to think about anything else; he was currently working with Yu Yanbin to deal with those spider webs.
The spider silk didn't disappear or stop coming just because they were afraid.
Some people are afraid, while others are not.
There weren't many, just about twenty people.
Something is better than nothing; it can at least offer some protection.
With this buffer, the superhumans stepped forward again to fight back together.
While Cheng Shaolin and the others were dealing with the spider silk, Lu Mingzhou and another lightning-type ability user were attacking the spider boss.
The spider boss is just too big and harder to deal with.
A series of lightning bolts struck, but the damage wasn't significant.
But this only enraged it.
Upon realizing that Lu Mingzhou and his group were attacking it, the spider boss turned its attack on them.
Seeing that the attack was focused on Lu Mingzhou and his group, Cheng Shaolin quickly moved to a different position and moved to Lu Mingzhou's side as well.
Xiang Yuping knew that some people were already terrified, so he didn't make things difficult for them. He simply assigned them the task of dealing with the small spiders and the mutated spiders on the periphery.
The main force consisted of Lu Mingzhou, Cheng Shaolin, and Yu Yanbin.
Xiang Yuping knew that these people were the key to his survival.
The largest mutated spider is terrifying; it's visually intimidating from the start.
However, Lu Mingzhou led Cheng Shaolin and his men in a steady and methodical manner, from defense to interception and then to proactive attack, without ever backing down.
They were focused on dealing with the mutated giant spider, but some harbored malicious intentions.
The Mad Lion Squad remained inconspicuous in the crowd, making no significant moves.
Although they thought it was possible, they gradually became less worried because they didn't hear anything from them.
Relaxing doesn't mean you shouldn't be on guard.
It just means it received less attention.
And so, at this tense moment, the Mad Lion Squad took a risky move, reaching out to Cheng Shaolin, who was busy dealing with the mutated spiders, amidst the undercurrents.
In Zhang Kaisheng's view, Li Xiao was just a spatial ability user and had no offensive capabilities.
Throughout her collaborations with them, Li Xiao was always the one being protected by others.
Once Cheng Shaolin and his group are gone, spatial ability users will be at the mercy of others.
With this in mind, Zhang Kaisheng did not hesitate and directly attacked Cheng Shaolin.
But he had a good plan; he just overlooked other issues he hadn't paid attention to.
Just as he carefully changed his position and moved to Cheng Shaolin's side, a spider silk shot towards him.
Zhang Kaisheng thought this was a good opportunity.
Seeing that Cheng Shaolin's attention was focused on dealing with the spider silk, he subtly reached out towards Cheng Shaolin.
Just as he reached behind Cheng Shaolin, a gunshot rang out.
The distance was a bit far, and Li Xiao's wooden technique wasn't that good either; it only grazed Zhang Kaisheng's arm and hit the ground beside him.
At that moment, Zhang Kaisheng froze for a second.
At that very instant, Cheng Shaolin also noticed the movement behind him. Without hesitation, he used the moment he unleashed his supernatural power to pull Zhang Kaisheng in front of him.
The speed was extremely fast; before Zhang Kaisheng could react, he was pinned down in front of Cheng Shaolin.
At the same time, before a section of spider silk had even burned completely, the flying knife landed right in front of Cheng Shaolin, striking Zhang Kaisheng, who had just arrived at his position...
Cheng Shaolin quickly retreated, and Lu Mingzhou, who was beside him, did not stop either, retreating away from the area.
Then the scene repeats itself: a person begins to melt, accompanied by hysterical screams, until finally the sound stops and they are no longer breathing.
When the sound stops, that is when the person completely disappears from this world.
The image shows a pool of unidentified liquid left behind as final evidence.
"You! How could you do this! You pushed our captain out to block the guns, you deserve to die!"
The members of the Mad Lion Squad were shocked to see Zhang Kaisheng gone. Suddenly realizing that this could be used as a breakthrough, they turned their attention to Cheng Shaolin.
Cheng Shaolin didn't even glance at him, and threw a fireball directly at the man's head.
Everyone was shocked!
The other members of the Mad Lion Squad were just secretly pleased with that person's idea when they witnessed something so shocking.
"Kill, murder..."
Cheng Shaolin gave him a look, and instantly there was complete silence.
