With a clang, a cylindrical object was thrown out of the shop and rolled to the Spider Queen's feet.
Fearing it would explode in his hands, Liu Nian pulled the safety pin and threw it away.
Perhaps because it was in an open area, the stun grenades did not exert their full power.
Caught off guard, the mercenaries were all affected to varying degrees, and a large number of them fell instantly.
Liu Nian didn't understand why the item he ate from Lin Long last time was a game item card, and its effectiveness was naturally reduced when facing mercenaries wearing equipment.
Because of the starting area, modern weapons still have a place; once you get more advanced equipment, these firearms will play a negligible role.
As the stun grenades on the ground exploded, the mercenaries suffered varying degrees of blindness and hearing loss.
The Spider Queen seemed completely unaffected. Taking advantage of a brief lull, she bypassed Zhao Tianba, who was holding up his shield, and began slaughtering the other mercenaries struggling on the ground.
With several snapping sounds, the spider's long legs pierced through the unarmored mercenary's body on the ground.
Blood gushed from the mercenary's abdomen instantly, and after convulsing a few times, he collapsed to the ground and never got up again.
Liu Nian then threw the remaining two grenades at the mercenaries, and after the explosions, he commanded his summoned creatures to attack.
Although Liu Nian was somewhat emotionally affected by the massacre of his fellow humans alongside these aliens, the thought that he would likely have died at their hands even without the spiders blocking his way made him cold-blooded.
Mage units are always a priority to protect, whether in games or in real life.
In order to eliminate the two mercenaries guarding him first, Liu Nian did not hesitate to use Magic Fang on the guard who was covering his eyes.
Two loud thuds of heavy objects falling to the ground followed, and while he was still wiping his eyes, his head was smashed by teeth.
The ground was quickly stained red with blood. Taking advantage of the situation, Tiffany unleashed her poisonous magic directly on Qian Liang.
Qian Liang was rolling on the ground, covering his eyes, when four ghouls had already attacked him.
Speed is of the essence in war. Under the dual attack of ghouls and poison magic, the mana-starved elementalist was sent to his death in no time.
Four ghouls grabbed his limbs and pulled him in four different directions.
After a bloodcurdling scream, Qian Liang was torn to pieces by the ghouls, leaving only scattered red and white remains on the ground.
Even a Great Immortal couldn't save someone from being torn apart by four ghosts.
The incident happened very quickly, and within seconds the mercenaries suffered heavy casualties.
After being hit by another round of grenades, the Spider Queen harvested the wounded mercenaries even faster, and many of the mercenaries injured by the grenades were immediately pierced by her claws.
Only Zhao Tianba and Sun Ming remain alive among the mercenaries.
On the other side, the Spider Queen was chasing after the still-alive Sun Ming. Liu Nian watched as Sun Ming clutched his severed right arm and desperately dodged the spiders, knowing that it was only a matter of time before he was caught.
After creating some distance, Liu Nian commanded his summoned creatures to surround and attack Zhao Tianba, who was left alone at the end.
Zhao Tianba's vision returned to normal at this moment. After wiping his face, he looked at the summoned creatures that surrounded him without changing his expression.
"Looks like I'm going to fail here." He gave a bitter smile.
"I must say, you're very capable. It wouldn't be a shame to die at your hands."
He had run out of tricks up his sleeve. The prolonged defense against the Spider Queen's attacks had left his arms weak, and the armor he wore made it hard for him to breathe.
At this moment, Sun Ming, who was being chased by the spider, also let out a scream. Zhao Tianba turned his head and saw that Sun Ming had been swallowed by the Spider Queen, with only his feet left outside.
Then the spider opened and closed its huge mouth, and Sun Ming disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Tianba threw down his longsword and pulled out a crushed pack of cigarettes from his pocket.
He was surprised to find the sunlight so dazzling, and with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, he looked up at the clear blue sky.
"Hey, it's not too much to smoke a cigarette before you die, is it?"
No one knows what tricks he's up to, but the Spider Queen behind him is already rushing over, and he's surrounded by his summoned creatures, so he probably won't be able to escape.
Liu Nian nodded slowly.
He clumsily lit a cigarette in his mouth, took a few deep drags, and in the blink of an eye, the cigarette was finished. He greedily exhaled the last puff of smoke.
Zhao Tianba stretched lazily and said to Liu Nian, "It's a perfect day to close your eyes. Who would have thought the arrogant Zhao Tianba would have a day like this? Congratulations, stranger!"
After finishing his sentence, Zhao Tianba walked towards the Spider Queen without looking back.
We do not ask to be born on the same day, month, and year, but we ask to die on the same day, month, and year.
The mercenaries' oaths seemed like they were just yesterday, and memories of the things we had experienced together flashed through my mind like a revolving lantern.
"Green hills everywhere bury loyal bones, why need a horsehide to wrap the corpse and return home?"
Ultimately, he chose the wrong path; after gaining power, he truly became arrogant.
Zhao Tianba glanced at the group members around him one last time, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
Talent: Self-destruct.
Self-Destruct: Detonates the user's remaining health, dealing damage to enemies equal to ten times their base health.
Note: Do not use a hidden dragon!
"Hahahaha, come on, little spider! Your grandpa's here!" Zhao Tianba launched his final attack as he looked at the Spider Queen with her mouth wide open.
At that moment, he was swallowed into the Spider Queen's mouth. His body swelled up as if inflated, and then burst open instantly.
The skill exploded in the Spider Queen's mouth, severing its entire lower jaw. Poisonous blood flowed uncontrollably, and the immense pain caused it to kneel on the ground.
Liu Nian was initially puzzled by his congratulations, but she never expected that he meant it that way.
Shouldn't he have taken his own life with him before he died? What a bizarre person!
But it would be foolish not to take advantage of a good deal. Seeing the Spider Queen's miserable state, Liu Nian commanded his summoned creatures to beat the drowning dog to a pulp.
The fastest ghoul was the first to climb onto the Spider Queen's back, frantically scratching at her frail body until she cried out in pain.
The not-so-flexible skeleton beneath it also raised its weapon and swung it at its battered limbs.
The queen had just been severely injured, and now, besieged by numerous summoned creatures, her life was finally coming to an end.
After struggling a few times in despair, it collapsed to the ground and couldn't get up.

Congratulations to player Liu Nian for successfully leveling up to level 7!
A series of system notification sounds rang out.
It's a regional boss! No wonder it has so much health.
If I had rashly provoked it back then, I might be the one lying on the ground now.
Never mind all that, the cards dropped by the Spider Queen are waiting for me.
First, there were game coins—a large amount of them—packed in a cloth bag, which the system had thoughtfully tied with a rope.
Liu Nian couldn't quite gauge its weight; it was rather heavy.
I readily accepted it!
Then he turned his gaze to the three cards on the ground.
