The human-faced spiders were like dumplings being dropped into a pot. They fell down from a height of over ten meters.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The moment the human-faced spiders landed, they immediately swarmed toward their 'prey'.
The students from Chongde only took a glance and felt their scalps turning numb. Their hair stood on end.
These human-faced spiders were as small as millstones and as big as calves. In addition to their densely packed long legs, they looked extremely disgusting.
Leaving aside their attacking prowess, just their appearance alone was too terrifying and disgusting.
"Ah!"
Wu Ran immediately screamed and scuttled behind Chai Yong.
"What are you doing?"
Chai Yong jumped in fright.
Wu Ran's lips trembled as she used force to clamp her butt. She was really afraid that if she relaxed, she would lose control of her bowels.
There was no solution to it. These human-faced spiders were too malevolent. Their large compound eyes, terrifying mouthparts, and the bristles on their bodies were as thick as fingers. They were like an amalgamation of fear.
Let alone timid girls, even guys would feel a little afraid of these terrifying large spiders!
The moment the human-faced spiders landed, they opened their mouthparts and started spraying.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Green venom instantly sprayed out.
"Retreat! Quickly! Retreat! "
Li Rongguang anxiously urged. Actually, there was no need for him to shout. When the group members saw the human-faced spiders rushing over, they already started to retreat.
"Maintain the formation!"
Chai Yong roared. He took his weapon and slashed at the head of a human-faced spider that was rushing over.
Sssii!
Green viscous liquid mixed with red blood spurted out.
"These spiders look terrifying, but their combat strength is ordinary. There's no need to be afraid!"
Li Rongguang shouted, trying to raise their morale.
Most of the green venom missed, but some still splashed on their bodies. Their clothes were fine, but their faces, necks, and the back of their hands were splashed, and they immediately felt a burning pain.
Ah! Ah!
The few students at the front screamed. Their expressions contorted and they subconsciously stretched out their hands to wipe. In the end, the area contaminated by the venom increased.
"Retreat! Retreat! Retreat! "
"Chai Yong, cover the rear with me."
Li Rongguang brandished his long blade and took the lead. From this point, he had the demeanor of a group leader.
The new student group from the Central Province Academy, who was over 40 meters behind, directly exploded when they saw this scene. Countless lingering fears surged in their hearts.
It was all thanks to Li Ziqi's little scheme. If not, they would be the ones being attacked.
"Thank God!"
Zhang Yaozong prayed and pulled out his weapon. "Prepare for battle!"
They couldn't retreat. If not, they would have to take a detour. That way, they would definitely not be able to obtain a high ranking. Luckily, the student group from Chongde was acting as a meat shield, giving everyone some buffer time.
"These are human-faced spiders. They got their name because the pattern on their heads resembles a human face. They can spray green venom, but because the venom sac is not big, they can only spray it three or four times at most!"
"The venom's toxicity isn't that great, so it won't kill you. However, when it touches the skin, it will burn and fester, causing paralysis in the limbs."
"Their main method of attack is to bite, because their bite strength is astonishing!"
"Their eyes and abdomen are their weak points. The other parts of their carapace are thicker, so it will be more difficult to break through."
Li Ziqi spoke very quickly, but her enunciation was very clear. She instantly reported the information about the human-faced spider.
"Eldest Senior Sister, you know a lot!"
Lu Zhiruo was envious.
"Is this the time to talk about this?"
Li Fen was very nervous. "Group leader, what should we do?"
"Wait, observe!"
Zhang Yaozong drew in a deep breath and stared ahead.
There was no lack of geniuses in any school.
Under the calmness of Li Rongguang's group of seven, the new student group from Chongde gradually calmed down from the panic. To a group of 12 to 13-year-old youths, this wasn't an easy task.
However, their good luck came to an end.
Another six human-faced spiders with big bellies scuttled out from the cracks on the stone wall. However, this time around, they didn't land on the ground. Instead, they relied on their spider silk and floated in the air. After that, they opened their mouths wide and spat out venom.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The green venom was like rain, pouring down.
"F * ck!"
Li Rongguang felt despair.
At this moment, the new student group from Chongde who had just stabilized their formation completely collapsed. All the students were frantically fleeing, wanting to escape the coverage of the venom rain.
After that, those spiders started a ferocious chase.
"Zhang Yaozong, give the order to retreat!"
Li Ziqi urged. The human-faced spiders actually knew how to use battle tactics. This meant that the broodmother had also made a move.
On the Darkness Continent, the higher the intelligence of the species, the stronger their individual combat prowess would be. For example, the human-faced spiders lived in groups. There was a broodmother with high intelligence that controlled the group.
Under normal circumstances, the broodmother wouldn't make a move. Only the male spider would go out to hunt for food.
This time around, the broodmother had made a move because many students wanted to pass through this place during the league tournament. After all, to it, these students were the fattest food.
"If we retreat now, we won't have the courage to enter again."
Zhang Yaozong roared, "Bring out your courage!"
"We mustn't fight to the death. The broodmother will definitely be there. We should think of other solutions!"
Li Ziqi was anxious. Even if they won this round, there was no hope.
"We still have to fight a round!"
Zhang Yaozong felt that it wouldn't be too late to retreat if they couldn't win. If they fled now, it would be the behavior of a coward.
"You..."
Li Ziqi was so angry that she didn't know what to say.
...
At the back, the observer was observing the students' every action. As for the teachers of the two teams, they had anxious looks on their faces.
"Sun Mo, what do you think?"
Fan Yao asked. In his eyes, Sun Mo was more reliable compared to Song Ren and Gu Xiuxun. This was because Sun Mo had used his strength to prove this.
Naturally, one couldn't say that Song Ren and Gu Xiuxun were inferior. It was just that when compared, Sun Mo appeared more outstanding.
"Very bad!"
Sun Mo's brows were furrowed so tightly that he could squeeze a crab to death.
If he was the one leading the group, he wouldn't have brought his group into the human-faced canyon at all after seeing the group that had retreated.
"Actually, the first few groups that entered were the safest. Right now, most probably all the spiders in the canyon have been alarmed. Even if they managed to pass through this part of the path, it wouldn't be easy for them to continue on."
Gu Xiuxun's expression was heavy.
More importantly, this section of the road was wrong to begin with. Any casualties here were worthless.
Just when the four of them were conversing, the new student group from the Central Province Academy encountered an attack from a group of human-faced spiders. This caused Fan Yao's expression to turn even more unsightly.
"Prepare to rescue them!"
Fan Yao sighed. From his point of view, it was almost certain that they would fail in the league tournament this year.
Sigh, there was basically no hope for the Central Province Academy to rise!
"Teacher Fan, you should believe in them!"
Sun Mo was very unhappy with Fan Yao's attitude. He had given up too quickly.
"Things will eventually sort themselves out. Since the students aren't panicking yet, there's no need for you to feel discouraged!"
Priceless Advice was activated.
Fan Yao, who was sighing in despair, was shone upon by the golden light. His spirit was instantly stirred.
"Teacher Sun is right, I've misspoken."
Fan Yao apologized.
The observer who was observing the situation involuntarily turned to survey Sun Mo when he saw this. After that, he recorded this in his notebook.
...
In the canyon, the new student group from the Central Province Academy.
"F * ck them to death!"
Zhang Yaozong's roar was filled with tyranny.
"Haha, good timing. My silver spear is already unable to endure the thirst!"
Xuanyuan Po licked his lips and brandished his spear, staring at the human-faced spider that was rushing over. However, an arrow suddenly shot out and pierced through the spider's eye.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ying Baiwu fired rapidly. After five consecutive shots, three spiders were killed. The other two slowed down and the spiders that were rushing over couldn't dodge in time and collided with them.
Xu Dingjiang's archery skills weren't bad either. Out of the three arrows, two of them hit their target. However, there was no effect at all. This caused him to frown. Amidst awkwardness, he looked at Ying Baiwu in puzzlement.
(Why is the killing power of the arrows you shoot so strong?)
Because these arrows were shot using the Wind King Divine Art, it could be said that each arrow was an archery technique and wasn't just a simple arrow damage.
The so-called arrow damage was purely kinetic damage.
One couldn't help but say that having a few gutsy members in the group was beneficial to the morale of the group.
There was no need to say anything more about Zhang Yaozong. He was proud and confident. Right now, he definitely had the demeanor of a group leader who would take the lead. As for Ying Baiwu and Xuanyuan Po, one was iron-headed while the other was a combat addict. They basically didn't know what fear was.
Li Ziqi felt a little nervous, but no one could tell from her expression.
There was also Chu Jian, Xu Jialiang...
More than half of the students were calm and steady.
"Are you not afraid?"
Li Fen trembled a little and glanced at Lu Zhiruo who was beside her.
"There's no solution to it even if I'm afraid!"
Lu Zhiruo spoke in a childish voice. She held onto her longsword. "Life can't possibly stop here, right?"
"Well said!"
Zhang Yaozong praised.
He had thought that the group would collapse and had thought of many words to boost their morale. In the end, he had worried too much. Leaving aside their strength, their guts were truly great.
Even that sickly invalid Tantai was looking at the human-faced spiders rushing over. His expression was as calm as if he was looking at a group of monkeys!
He had thought that they had entered the student group because of their background. But from the looks of it now, they really had some capabilities.
Zhang Yaozong suddenly felt a little fortunate. Without Li Ziqi and Tantai Yutang, the group would have suffered a few losses.
The guys were hot-blooded and were originally afraid. But after seeing how calm Li Ziqi was, they gritted their teeth and steadied themselves.
(I can't possibly be inferior to a girl, right?)
Zeng Gang mumbled and stared at those spiders, preparing to start a massacre.
The human-faced spiders that were rushing over couldn't help but slow down. Other than because of Ying Baiwu and Xu Dingjiang's long-range attacks, they could also sense the killing intent of these humans.
As insects, they were still very sensitive to such auras.
As the saying went, pick the softest persimmons to pinch. When ferocious beasts and insects hunted, they would also pick the old, weak, sick, and disabled as their prey.
If these human-faced spiders could speak, they would surely grumble. (Why do you want me to hold up the rear?)
"Xuanyuan Po, Zeng Gang, Shi Qiao, follow me. Ying Baiwu, Xu Dingjiang, support them. Kill!"
Zhang Yaozong rushed out, his morale soaring!
