Liu Nian had no idea that the people from the World Society had already arrived in City A. At the moment, he was busy figuring out how to deal with these annoying spiders.
These spiders were unlike any enemy he had ever encountered before. They outnumbered him, attacked from a distance, and were equipped with binding and poisonous properties. Moreover, they had a speed boost when moving inside their webs.
Ultimately, he decided to try the bait tactic. After spending a long time choosing from the summoned creatures, he decided that the high-defense, high-health zombies were the best choice for bait.
After watching them move to the designated location, the ravens in the sky sent word that a spider army was surging towards them.
Six zombies were completely unaware that they had been wrapped tightly in spider silk.
Seeing the zombies trapped and unable to move, the spider swarm abandoned their web-spinning attacks and began to attack the zombies along the path laid out by their webs. Their fangs and claws were the best weapons against the zombies.
When Liu Nian, who was hiding in the distance, noticed that the spider swarm had stopped spinning silk and was moving towards the zombie, he secretly cheered. The first step of the plan was ready.
They frantically ganged up on the zombies that were being used as punching bags, and in no time, the six zombies were strangled to death by the combined efforts of the spiders.
Liu Nian did not intervene in the process, but instead used information gathering to examine their information.
Previously, I was only focused on escaping and didn't check their information.
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle; the importance of information is self-evident.
Information searches revealed that this group of spiders can be divided into three types.
Small spiders, medium spiders, and large spiders.
Small spiders range in size from the size of a fingernail to the size of a fist. Their size gives them an advantage, allowing them to squeeze into the gaps in their shells and seduce their prey without them even realizing it. In certain situations, they can be more threatening than other types of spiders.
Fortunately, they have the least amount of health, meaning they can be eliminated with a single Death Wave.
Medium-sized spiders are about the size of an adult. They are not numerous and can attack by biting at close range or by spinning webs at a distance. They have 150 health points and are considered a mainstay of the defense.
Large spiders are the rarest, but they surpass other spiders in both attributes and size. Their silk-spitting attacks have the longest range and are also the most venomous.
After gathering this intelligence, Liu Nian emerged from the shadows.
His goal was clear: to prioritize eliminating the smaller spiders.
Once the small spiders are killed, he can use corpse explosion to gradually eliminate the medium-sized spiders.
After completing the plan, Liu Nian began summoning zombies again.
The unfortunate zombie, unaware of its tragic fate, began to walk towards the place where its companion had just died.
As expected, the zombie invasion angered the outer spider forces.
They attacked the zombie once again, and in an instant, a vast expanse of spider webs of all sizes covered the poor zombie completely.
Fortunately, the undead units have high poison resistance, so the toxins contained in the spider silk did not affect them.
Otherwise, let alone acting as bait, they wouldn't even be able to save their own lives.
Seeing the spiders begin attacking the zombies again, Liu Nian, who was hiding in the shadows, revealed himself and began to unleash Death Ripple.
Liu Nian's spellcasting from a distance alerted the large spiders on the perimeter, who then unleashed their silk-spinning abilities at him.
Unfortunately, Liu Nian had the advantage of going first, and the Death Ripple launched the first attack, spreading outwards from the zombie as the origin.
Those small, delicate spiders were no match for the amplified death ripples and fell in droves in an instant.
Then, it was tightly bound by several spider webs.
As a series of experience point notifications filled his mind, Liu Nian, wrapped in a spider web, immediately activated Corpse Explosion, using the Corpse Explosion magic to launch an indiscriminate attack.
The medium-sized spider was instantly killed by the corpse explosion, while the larger spiders that followed were entangled by the vampires.
They were later killed by the arriving Black Knight and the ranged skeleton archers.
After losing six zombies, they finally killed all the spiders that came to guard the area.
However, they could not press their advantage and had to stop there.
Because Liu Nian had just finished drinking the last bottle of antidote, it was a pity that her journey home could only end in this way.
I can only wait until I've stockpiled a few more bottles of antidote before I come back to deal with these spiders.
Using the large black spiders to bring back the spoils, this group of spiders brought him over a thousand experience points and several new material cards, while the rest of the resource cards were negligible.
[Spider Glands] (Materials Card)
One of the raw materials for synthesizing antidotes.
Note: Do not touch the glands with bare hands!!!
【Tough Spider Silk】(Materials Card)
Wide range of uses
Note: Be careful, it's sticky!
[Timber Pile] (Building Materials Card)
Three piles of wood
Great stuff! Building the Soul Summoning Tower requires five pieces of wood and five pieces of stone. With this, we're one step closer to building the Soul Summoning Tower.
Unfortunately, the drop rate for building material cards was too low; even after killing countless infected, I still couldn't collect all the building materials.
In fact, Liu Nian's drop rate was already quite high. Those city lords had plenty of manpower, but they could only build the Adventurer's Hall. They still lacked building material cards for the other facilities.
Needless to say, it's an alchemist's material; I wouldn't need it even if you gave it to me.
Speaking of alchemists, Liu Nian immediately thought of Sun Buhuan, whom he had met a few times, and wondered where he was now.
"I will come back again!"
After tossing the unused cards into his spatial storage, Liu Nian looked at the street before him and left unwillingly.
...
Meanwhile, outside the city gate of City A.
After the group of leaders finished their discussions, they each selected several elite members to participate in the operation to defeat Hellfire.
They also knew that the longer the situation dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be for them.
After gathering a large number of elite troops, the Hellfires at the city gate were defeated one after another.
After the NPCs in the Adventurers' Hall detected that the road ahead was clear, they all boarded vehicles and headed towards the inner city.
The group continued to escort the customer service representative to the designated location.
After traveling and stopping frequently, clearing out the infected along the way, the members of the Adventurers' Hall finally set up camp next to the city center square.
After settling the rewards for the adventurers, they began to systematically set up camp in one place.
If an adventurer inquires about a quest at this time, they will only receive the same reply: "The Adventurer's Hall is under construction, and the opening time will be announced later."
Soon everyone's attention was drawn to the teleportation portal not far away, and some people were secretly amazed as they looked at the Hell Chariot in the center of the square.
With no missions to complete, everyone started choosing a place to set up camp, and it became quite lively.
Some people couldn't stand the loneliness and started killing scattered infected people in twos and threes to earn event points.
The thrill of earning points made them forget the danger and wander further and further away.
After eliminating another small group of infected, an archer pointed to a spot and said, "Look, what's that?"
The place he pointed to was shrouded in smoke, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Ignorance breeds fearlessness, and curiosity drove them to head in that direction.
As they got closer, they realized it was a cloud of white mist that was spreading outwards.
A sense of crisis welled up in their hearts, and they ran frantically in the direction they were heading back.
The white mist moved very quickly and soon enveloped them.
They gradually lost sight of their surroundings, and the team members gradually drifted apart.
The archer had sharp eyesight and saw a figure moving in the mist. Thinking it was one of his teammates, he quickly ran towards the figure.
When they could finally make out the figures, their eyes met, and the archer was terrified.
When he regained consciousness, the creatures over there had already begun their attack on him.
A few moments later, several shrill screams echoed from within the thick fog.
