Spider Queen
Xia Fei keenly noticed that there was a slight vibration coming from beneath the Eternal Ice Plains.
This place was over five hundred kilometers away from the Law of Ternary Spectrum. Xia Fei was a speed ability user, so this bit of distance was nothing more than a stroll in the park for him, and he could easily wander off very far if he was not careful.
Frowning, Xia Fei climbed up an iceberg on the right and hid on the slope, curiously looking at the plains below him.
"Seems like something is about to dig its way out of the ground," Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
"Could it be a spider? Didn't Oro say that Ice Spiders live ten thousand meters below the surface of the ice? "
Xia Fei shook his head. Nope. Lets wait and see.
The tremors grew stronger and stronger, and several minutes later, even the iceberg Xia Fei was on began to shake. It was as if an earthquake had suddenly broken out!
Rumble!
The huge iceberg was split into two! A canyon appeared from the bottom!
Xia Fei's body tilted, and it was a good thing that he had not been flung out by the huge jolt. He hurriedly changed his liquid war armor form and used the steel hooks that grew out of his limbs to grab onto the ice.
Furball suddenly raised his head and glared into the distance, his eyes filled with fighting spirit as if he had sensed danger.
Xia Fei pressed down on Furball's head. "I don't need you. From now on, you'll just be in charge of eating. Be a complete glutton, grow up quickly, and accumulate energy. Who knows, there might be a day when I'll need your help."
Furball pursed his lips. After spending so much time with Xia Fei, the Holy Beast Shatterstar had already developed a deep understanding of human nature. Calling him a glutton did not sound nice, and Furball seemed to be rather dissatisfied with it.
Bang!
The plains suddenly collapsed!
"Sky Pit! It's a Sky Cavern! "Spiritshadow exclaimed.
A huge black hole was revealed due to the collapse of the ice surface. It had a diameter of ten kilometers and was so deep that the bottom could not be seen!
Howl!
A strange cry rang out, causing everyone's eardrums to hurt!
Spider!
The giant white spider crawled out of the sinkhole and let out a series of heart-palpitating roars. It seemed to be in great pain.
"Such a big one! Could it be the Queen Mother of the Ice Spiders!? "Gui Ying said with a gloomy face.
Xia Fei did not say anything. What he was concerned about was not how terrifying this giant spider was, but the figure on top of it.
Mu Qiubo, that Law Emperor who had been pursuing Xia Fei, had used some sort of technique to place himself on the head of the spider, half of his body fused with the spider. It seemed to be some sort of biological fusion technique!
If Mu Qiubo really had the ability to control these spiders and used this ability to control the Queen, then all the Ice Spiders would undoubtedly listen to his commands and become Xia Fei's enemy!
Originally, the reason why Xia Fei was able to move so freely on this icy plain was because of these Ice Spiders. Not only would these Ice Spiders attack Xia Fei, but they would also attack Mu Qiubo as well. Xia Fei relied on his nimble and unpredictable agility to weave through the gaps between Mu Qiubo and the Ice Spiders like a fish in water. If Mu Qiubo wanted to kill Xia Fei, he would first need to get rid of the Ice Spiders, which would undoubtedly greatly slow him down. By the time he managed to kill his way out of the swarm of spiders, Xia Fei would already be long gone.
Now, these Ice Spiders had all become Mu Qiubo's subordinates, and that was an evil creature that numbered in the tens of thousands! It would be extremely disadvantageous for Xia Fei!
The giant spider crawled out of the sinkhole, followed closely by a swarm of spotted spiders. These fellows were small in size, but they were extremely fast, and their shells were brightly colored.
In the natural world, not only did bright colors represent beauty, but they also represented danger!
For example, poisonous tree frogs were very beautiful, but anyone who accidentally bumped into them would deeply understand why beauty could be fatal.
It was the same for these colorful spotted spiders. They were poisonous! Furthermore, they were extremely poisonous!
Black gas billowed out of their mouths. Xia Fei speculated that the spotted spiders were not only poisonous, but they could also spray venom!
Following closely behind them were some strange spiders with alternating black and white bodies. Their bodies were split into two, with one side being black and the other white.
These fellows were very large in size, and they had porcupine-like spikes on their backs. If one did not look closely, one would think that they were giant porcupines.
Following them were the normal Ice Spiders. They were the most numerous and had the lowest status. The spotted and black and white spiders would beat and scold them if they were unhappy, and the Ice Spiders did not resist at all.
"Heavens! There … There must be at least a million spiders here, right? Could that guy have brought out all the spiders on this planet?! "Phantom was shocked.
Xia Fei had no idea what Mu Qiubo had done, but he knew very well that he was at an absolute disadvantage from this point on, and he no longer had the ability to fight back.
Mu Qiubo's cultivation was already much higher than Xia Fei's, and now that he had this large army of spiders, his strength was terrifying!
'I need to get out of here!' Xia Fei thought to himself. As long as he could return to the restriction of the Law of Ternary Spectrum, no matter how powerful Mu Qiubo was or how many spiders he had, he would not be able to do anything to Xia Fei. As for the future, he could just worry about it later.
Just as Xia Fei was about to flee, Furball could not help but let out a low whimper. For some reason, Furball had disliked that giant white spider from the very beginning, treating it as an enemy, so he had inadvertently let out a whimper.
Furball's cry was not loud, but it had an unparalleled penetrating power, and it could be clearly heard even from over a hundred kilometers away.
This time, the spiders were in an uproar. The cry of a Holy Beast was no trifling matter. Though these spiders were not of the same species as Furball and were not afraid of him, they could not help but feel somewhat nervous. Even Mu Qiubo had heard the cry and was staring at Xia Fei from afar.
With a cold laugh, Mu Qiubo waved his arm, and the tens of thousands of spiders suddenly moved, lunging toward Xia Fei on the iceberg!
The spiders that covered the entire mountain were like a massive army!
Having no time to reprimand Furball, Xia Fei took to his heels. Furball's actions were completely instinctive. The desire to kill a powerful foe had naturally filled him with fighting spirit.
Though the spotted spiders were fast, they were still a long way from catching up to Xia Fei. The greatest threat came from those black and white spiders!
They were crawling on the ground, and the sharp spikes on their backs were suddenly shot into the air like a torrential downpour.
"Long-range attacks! These spiders can actually attack from long range?! " Xia Fei was very surprised. He suddenly made a sharp turn and accelerated diagonally, shaking off those sharp spikes.
The huge white Ice Spider Empress let out a shrill cry, and the surface of the ice instantly turned viscous like glue, submerging half of Xia Fei's leg!
"Not good! This monster has a special ability! It can control ice! "Phantom yelled.
The change in the ice greatly reduced Xia Fei's speed. Despite using all his strength, he could only reach a tenth of his original speed, leaving him with only 3000 meters per second!
Speed was Xia Fei's weapon, and it was also the foundation to ensure his safety. The disadvantage of having his speed greatly reduced was self-evident.
On the other hand, though the speed of the spiders behind him had also decreased, it was not as obvious as Xia Fei's. This was because they had eight legs, each of which was slender and sharp, allowing them to maintain a relatively high speed even if they were submerged in the viscous liquid.
The situation was not looking good. Not only did Xia Fei have to face his pursuers, he also had to deal with the spikes that could fall from the sky at any time!
Soon, those agile spotted spiders caught up to Xia Fei. Their bodies were light, and their legs were covered in fine fur, allowing them to float on the liquid ice and advance at high speed!
* Whoosh whoosh! *
As they got closer, the spotted spiders spat out a large cloud of black mist, trying to poison Xia Fei to death!
"Chain! River Blockade! "
These spiders were highly venomous. Though Xia Fei had the protection of his liquid war armor, Silver Desert, he was not willing to fight them head-on. In a situation where the venom was unknown, keeping his distance was the wisest choice.
Five hurricanes appeared!
It was as if a tropical storm was sweeping behind Xia Fei!
Not only did the black mist fail to get close to Xia Fei, it was even blown back!
The spotted spiders could not withstand the powerful spatial tear, and their bodies were torn into several pieces!
Large amounts of venom and the poisonous mist caused the sky to turn gray! The surface of the ice became strange, like cinders being scattered in a heavy snowfall.
Xia Fei's Iron Blockade was like a hurricane, carrying the large amounts of venom left behind by the spotted spiders as he continued forward. The black and white long-range spiders behind him did not have the same resistance to venom as the spotted spiders. The moment they came into contact with the venom, their bodies would immediately rot as if they were being corroded by acid!
"So it's corrosive venom!" Xia Fei was alarmed. He secretly made up his mind to not let those terrifying spotted spiders get close to him.
Relying on his ingenious counterattack, Xia Fei managed to shake off the spiders by several dozen kilometers, and he could already see that dazzling Law of Ternary Spectrum restriction in the distance.
As long as he could escape into the restriction, no amount of spiders could do anything to him.
"Not good! We've been surrounded! "Phantom yelled.
All he saw was a sea of spiders surrounding the restriction. It turned out that these guys had split into two groups, and one of them had already blocked off Xia Fei's escape route!
Without the advantage of speed, trying to break through such a large group of spiders was easier said than done!
The white Spider Empress had been left far behind. Perhaps it was because it had used its ability to control the ice plains, so it did not have the extra physical strength to run. Mu Qiubo did not use any teleportation techniques to close the distance between him and Xia Fei, for his body had already become one with the Spider Empress, so teleporting away would not be easy.
The strongest Spider Empress and Mu Qiubo were not around, which was Xia Fei's advantage. The disadvantage was that he had to face millions of low-level spiders!
Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei circled around the spiders in front of him and retreated northwest, hoping to find a weak point.
Two fists were no match for four hands. Xia Fei was not afraid of these Ice Spiders, but there was no way he could deal with a million-strong spider army! Retreating was the only way out!
There were simply too many Ice Spiders, and they had completely surrounded the restricted area. Xia Fei charged left and right among the spiders, but he was still unable to get close. Instead, he accidentally inhaled two mouthfuls of poisonous gas! Those cunning spotted spiders were using poisonous gas to surround the restriction, so it would be very difficult for Xia Fei to break through even if he wanted to.
Xia Fei felt a slight pain in his lungs. The air filtration system had filtered out most of the poisonous gas, so the amount that Xia Fei actually inhaled was only a small portion. A little bit was fine, but Xia Fei would not be able to handle it if he inhaled too much. His body's heart and blood flow would accelerate under high speed circulation, and the poisonous gas would be quickly absorbed by his body. Xia Fei had some medical knowledge, so he understood this very well.
Raising his eyebrows, Xia Fei decided to give up on returning to the restriction and sprinted west!
No matter how strong his ability was, he could not control an entire planet. As long as Xia Fei could put some distance between himself and the Spider Empress, he would definitely be able to break free and find another opportunity to fight!
