The Spider Queen adjusted her position and stared at the man in front of her.
The powerful attack hadn't rendered him immobile; he continued walking towards them unhurriedly.
After realizing that the man was not someone to be trifled with, the Spider Queen seemed to want to bypass him and attack the other mercenaries.
Zhao Tianba, wielding his longsword, unleashed a deadly whirlwind that slashed at the Queen Spider's hind legs. Sensing the threat of this attack, the Spider Queen was forced to turn around and confront Zhao Tianba.
Seeing that their leader could handle the Spider Queen, Sun Ming and Qian Liang turned to deal with the smaller spiders, nicknamed Old Cat.
Having learned from the previous experience of killing the spider, this kill did not result in serious casualties.
The shields were far apart, and thirty seconds was only enough time for them to run to another shield.
Originally, the spider queen was the center, with two smaller spiders on each side. Now, the spiders on the left wing have been killed, leaving only the two spiders on the right wing.
The bad news was that after casting spells continuously, Qian Liang said he needed to rest and recover his mana.
After finding a place to sit down, Qian Liang activated the elementalist's exclusive skill: Meditation.
Meditation: Accelerates mana recovery.
With Sun Ming joining the fight, the Spiders on the right flank, who had been held back, were quickly killed.
Except for one small spider that caused a loss of player due to excessive aggro, all other spiders were killed without taking damage.
As the mercenary group's advantage snowballed, Liu Nian, who had written three filler chapters, realized that he was the protagonist and hurriedly made his presence known.
The mercenaries seemed to have the victory in the bag, and Liu Nian, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but feel nervous.
As soon as the mercenaries caught up with her, Liu Nian hid in the clothing store, hoping to provoke a fight between the mercenaries and the Spider Queen so that she could reap the benefits.
This idea would put him under tremendous pressure, and he was constantly on edge.
Only after seeing the mercenaries enter did Liu Nian secretly take the Deception Mist Potion from the shadows.
After drinking the potion, the world before Liu Nian's eyes became blurry. He watched as his body turned transparent until it disappeared.
This change felt novel to him. Realizing that time was limited, Liu Nian tiptoed into the warehouse after the medicine took effect.
The Spider Queen and her minions, who were wandering around the warehouse, suddenly stared intently in Liu Nian's direction.
Now, standing by the door, surrounded by spiders from all sides, Liu Nian walked toward the spider eggs, holding his breath and not daring to utter a sound.
As you get closer, you can even see the fine hairs on the spider's body.
"Seeing that the spiders still surrounded us, it seems the plan has failed." Liu Nian instinctively wanted to use the Dark Space.
Just then, the sound of mercenaries' footsteps rang out. The Queen and the others were drawn to the mercenaries who were pushing open the door, and their eyes turned to look at the mercenaries in front of the door.
Just as the Queen Spider and her guards left the warehouse, the effects of Liu Nian's potion wore off.
The battle that followed unfolded exactly as Liu Nian had planned.
"Thirty-two against one, Queen, I believe in you! You must hold on." Liu Nian prayed silently in her heart.
He watched as the mercenaries surrounded him, slowly tightening the encirclement.
With the smaller spiders gone, the Spider Queen, no longer hesitant to act, smirked and spat out a mouthful of venom.
It was as if a fan-shaped rain of venom had fallen, enveloping the more crowded side on its left.
Unexpectedly, the Queen launched a sudden attack, and the mercenaries who were unable to dodge were all caught in the crossfire.
In less than five seconds, the mercenaries covered in venom turned into puddles of mud, corroding in the venom-filled swamp.
The asphalt road to the left of the Queen was corroded into a mud pit, demonstrating the power of the venom.
Zhao Tianba was greatly surprised that he had never seen the Spider Queen use this move after fighting for so long.
I have some inexplicable unease in my heart.
He couldn't figure it out for a moment, but he still mustered his spirits to face the Spider Queen.
Just then, a fireball exploded on the powerful spider, and in pain, the spider spat out spider silk from the direction from which the fireball came, shooting it at the surrounding mercenaries.
Qian Liang had just replenished his mana after meditating when he saw the Queen attacking, so he quickly cast a fireball to save the day.
Unexpectedly, right after the Queen unleashed an area-of-effect damage skill, she was immediately followed by another area-of-effect control skill, binding her tightly in spider silk.
The walls on both sides of the street also acted as the queen's accomplices, restricting the mercenaries' movement, and several mercenaries were trapped by spider silk.
Spider silk is very strong; blunt weapons and spears cannot break it.
Mercenaries with sharp weapons are few and far between. Sometimes, even after several attempts, it's impossible to cut the spider silk on their bodies, and one must also be careful not to injure their comrades.
Only Sun Ming's katana could sever the spider silk on his companion with a single strike. After a flash of cold light, Sun Ming pulled Qian Liang out of the spider silk.
The other mercenaries, who were tightly wrapped in spider silk, were not so lucky. After being trapped for a long time without breathing oxygen, they struggled violently for a few moments before collapsing to the ground and becoming still.
"A dual-area attack skill." Liu Nian saw that the Spider Queen was still fierce even without her support minions. "Fight, fight, fight! The best outcome is a draw."
The rest of the mercenaries were busy rescuing people. Despite such heavy casualties, Zhao Tianba still firmly controlled the Queen's hatred and focused it on himself.
Seeing that the remaining dozen or so mercenaries, including the other two professionals, were still unharmed.
After letting Sun Ming take over, Zhao Tianba withdrew from the encirclement, took out a bottle of stamina potion from his pocket, and drank it in one gulp.
Sun Ming's combat experience was clearly not as rich as Zhao Tianba's, so he could only rely on his own attributes to support him.
It seems the encirclement has been broken, but it also seems that the venom and spider silk attacks had a time limit.
The Spider Queen is now only using her mandibles and claws to attack the mercenaries in front of her.
Feeling that his strength had recovered somewhat, Zhao Tianba didn't waste much time. Sun Ming was in grave danger, while the Spider Queen remained full of energy.
After tearing off the annoying spider silk from his body, Qian Liang also began to cast spells to assist Zhao Tianba.
After several successful uses of Fireball, Qian Liang was the first to leave the battle due to running out of mana.
The queen was in a terrible state, with large areas of her body burned and some slashing injuries beneath her.
Feeling that she had suffered too much damage, the Spider Queen let out two strange cries and then jabbed a rash mercenary with her front leg.
The long leg shoved into the unfortunate man's mouth, pinning him to the ground in the street.
He then swung his long legs repeatedly, forcing the surrounding mercenaries back.
Only Zhao Tianba remained unmoved, thrusting his right shield forward to block the Spider Queen's attack.
He pressed himself against it and then slashed his longsword across the spider's compound eye.
Unable to dodge due to her massive size, the queen's compound eyes were slashed out, and she screamed in agony.
Seeing that the situation was tilting in favor of the mercenary team again, Liu Nian pulled the pin on the stun grenade in the mall.
