The black spiders are numerous, but their attack power is not as high as that of the tentacles, and they have no additional skills; they can only bite.
However, the brown spider warriors among them could perform leaping attacks and were considered elite spiders, which surprised Liu Nian.
Although they have many brothers, Liu Nian has even more summoned creatures.
With 2,000 health points, they have an advantage in attributes, but they attack haphazardly without any strategy.
On the other hand, Liu Nian's side can form a battle formation and slowly advance. Once they are separated, they are still no match for Liu Nian's summoned creatures.
Moreover, Liu Nian could revive the small black spiders within them for his own use, and in critical moments, he could use the Spirit Gathering Technique to replenish his troops, so Liu Nian's army grew larger and larger with each battle.
With a light source, Liu Nian could confidently and boldly unleash his summoned creatures into battle.
Under Liu Nian's powerful magical offensive, he firmly believed that this chaotic battle would ultimately end in his victory.
However, Liu Nian underestimated the spiders' ability to hold grudges; after beating the younger ones, the older ones came.
The first boss slowly appeared in front of Liu Nian from the depths of the swamp.
This is a huge spider, about three meters tall. Its body is encased in a white spider nest, and its four pairs of black and white sharp claws are firmly embedded in the swamp.
What is most unforgettable is its head, with countless white compound eyes in its black skull, vertically split mouthparts, two rows of canine teeth in its mouth, and corrosive mucus that occasionally oozes from its mouth.
When Liu Nian spotted it, it was attacking the abyssal tentacles it encountered along the way. Its forelimbs were raised high, and its sharp claws flashed with a cold light before it stabbed at the tentacles that hadn't been able to retract after the attack.
The abyssal tentacles have a very obvious weakness: after each attack, they burrow back underground and then emerge again to attack.
The Spider Queen's forelimbs sliced open the abyss tentacles as easily as cutting tofu; the barbs on the tentacles were useless against it, not causing it the slightest harm.
This attack severely damaged the tentacle, instantly depleting its health points. After trembling for a moment, it limply collapsed to the ground.
The Spider Queen trampled the summoned creatures blocking her path with her enormous body and headed straight for Liu Nian.
Skeleton warriors and ghouls were no match for it, and both fell to its claws.
Seeing its rampaging figure, the Dread Knight decided to go and meet this opponent.
After severing the abyssal tentacles that seemed oblivious to its own mortality with a single strike, it turned its horse around and charged towards the Spider Queen, its blood-red saber radiating an eerie glow.
Unlike the terrifying knights who charged diagonally past, the equally tall and mighty Abominations blocked the Spider Queen's path.
The little spiders around it fell one after another to its plague. After the little spiders around it were corroded by the plague, it reached out and grabbed at the Spider Queen.
At that time, the Spider Queen was being entangled by several plagues called Lamas, whose stone-like appearance allowed them to endure the Spider Queen's claws.
The cursed and weakened queen can only deal minimal damage, and combined with Lamassu's high defense, their health drops very slowly.
Not to mention the wailing of the underworld spirits that occasionally lash out at them, healing them while also weakening the Spider Queen's health.
With this shift in power, even the Spider Queen, with her high HP and defense, cannot withstand the damage caused by Lamasu reducing her maximum HP.
Just as it was focused on getting rid of Lamasu's entanglement, a pair of merciless iron hands silently arrived. The Spider Queen, unaware of what was happening, was instantly pierced through by these iron hands and then forced to be pulled in the direction of the Abomination.
The Spider Queen struggled desperately to writhe her massive body, trying to break free from the Abomination's grasp. However, the Abomination had pierced her very deep, and despite her best efforts, she failed to break free, causing the wound to tear and bleed.
If that were all, it wouldn't have been so bad. But by sheer coincidence, the Dread Knight was charging at her with his saber, and unfortunately, he struck the Spider Queen directly in the rear.
The slash sent blood splattering everywhere, and the Spider Queen trembled uncontrollably in pain. Her vulnerable spot was injured, and the Spider Queen turned her head to glare fiercely at the Terror Knight, as if she wanted to skin him alive and tear him apart.
The terrifying knight, who had severely wounded it, still had cold eyes, like an emotionless robot, and drew his weapon to charge again.
The Spider Queen, in pain and with no other option, could only lay spider warriors along the way to protect herself.
Countless tiny spiders emerged from its abdomen, sprinkling their way along the Dread Knight's path, attempting to delay its arrival.
That last strike must have left the Spider Queen traumatized.
The little spiders, the spider warriors, and the spider queen were of one mind; they all blocked the Dread Knight's path, trying to stop its charge.
In particular, the spider warriors, seeing the approaching force, leaped directly in front of the Dread Knight. If hit by their leaping attacks, there would be a brief moment of stun, and the crisis would naturally be resolved.
Unfortunately for them, their opponent was the Dread Knight, who didn't even glance at the flying spiders. With a flash of dazzling light, the spider warriors were sent flying by the sword just as they were about to get close.
The spider warriors, who had been swatted away, flipped themselves over and tried to stop the Dread Knight again, but then darkness fell over them as several enormous sphinxes drew ever closer.
With no hope of escape, they were pinned down by Lamassu. With a creak, like a burst balloon, the spider warriors were crushed to death by Lamassu.
Discovering that the combined power of the Abomination and the Dread Knight could stop the Spider Queen, Liu Nian cast a debuff spell on the Spider Queen and then looked away.
Without the Spider Queen's interference, the remaining summoned creatures overwhelmingly defeated their opponents. To prevent any remaining spiders from escaping from the spider nests in the swamp, Liu Nian ordered them to destroy the spider nests.
The spider's nest has 1,000 health points. Since it has no defenses, it shouldn't be too difficult to destroy if it can be destroyed.
This source of light must be firmly under our control to avoid obstacles when we return to harvest the fluorescent fruit. Eliminating the threat in its infancy is the ideal approach.
As expected, the spider's lair could be attacked and destroyed, and the destroyed lair dropped a pile of cards and crowns.
With the threat of the lair gone, vengeful spirits and vampires joined the battle to hunt down the Spider Queen.
The Spider Queen's only skill is to lay spiders, which is far inferior to the previous Broodmother Spider. The baby spiders she lays are killed by the surrounding summons before they even hit the ground, and the baby spiders she lays are simply not fast enough to be killed by the summons.
Moreover, it leaves a few seconds of vulnerability after giving birth to spiders, and under the onslaught of its summoned creatures, even the Spider Queen with 25,000 HP can only fall down unwillingly.
The ravens were diligently counting the spoils of the battle, and where Big Black stood, a large pile of trophies awaited Liu Nian's visit.
I'm a little hungry, so I'll take this opportunity to take stock of my spoils during this rest period.
