In the cave, a rustling sound could be heard. It was the sound of the mouthparts of the human-faced spiders rubbing against each other. Moreover, their compound eyes emitted a green light. In the darkness, it was especially terrifying.
"Then what should we do? Should he just keep wasting time like this? Wait for the spider army to gather? "
Because Zeng Gang was anxious, he spoke out of anger.
"Ziqi, what do you think?"
Zhang Yaozong asked. They definitely couldn't wait, because the Human-faced Spiders would attack sooner or later, so they didn't have much time left.
"Come, feed these herbs to them!"
As Tantai Yutang chewed on the herbs, he distributed some and instructed, "You don't have to chew them too thoroughly, but try to use more force to bite out the juices. Be careful not to swallow them yourself."
"Do you still have time to care about them at this time?"
Xu Jialiang grumbled.
He couldn't be blamed for being depressed. Other than Peng Kunqi and Wu Jitong, there were still four Chongde students who were unconscious. With so many burdens, what could he do?
Abandon them?
Xu Jialiang secretly looked around. He believed that the others also had the same idea, but no one dared to mention it because it was too inhumane.
"That's why we need to wake them up quickly!"
Tantai Yutang's tone was neither hurried nor slow.
"Junior Brother, are you not afraid of death?"
Lu Zhiruo was curious.
The sickly invalid chortled. "He will die sooner or later!"
"Can you be more auspicious?"
Zeng Gang cursed. He didn't want to die.
"What kind of people are these students of Sun Mo?"
Zhang Yaozong felt his scalp going numb.
Xuanyuan Po, Ying Baiwu, and Tantai Yutang were extremely calm. Their breathing was steady, unlike the others who were panting heavily due to nervousness.
Li Ziqi was afraid, but she could use her rationality to overcome this emotion. After that, she racked her brains to think of a solution to break out of this predicament.
As for that papaya girl, even if she was afraid, she still had the leisure to talk to Tantai Yutang and ponder over whether he was afraid or not! If she said she wasn't afraid, her little face was filled with panic.
Chu Jian took the herbs, put them in his mouth, and took a few bites before spitting them out and stuffing them into Peng Kunqi and Wu Jitong's mouths.
His methods were quite rough.
Xuanyuan Po, Zeng Gang, I'll leave the frontline to you two! "
Zhang Yaozong gritted his teeth. He was the one who gave the order, so he should be the one to clean up the mess.
"No, in this situation, whoever brings up the rear will die!"
Li Ziqi rejected.
"Let's go as many as we can!"
Zhang Yaozong didn't have a choice. "Xuanyuan Po, I'm counting on you. Quickly rush out and release the signal tube."
"I'll stay behind and bring up the rear!"
Xuanyuan Po refused.
"I … I …"
Zeng Gang also wanted to say this, but the fear in his heart made him unable to continue. The people who brought up the rear would most likely die.
"Ziqi, Zhiruo, follow me closely later!"
Ying Baiwu wouldn't care about others, but these two girls were her teacher's beloved students. Even if she died, she had to protect them.
"Junior Sister!"
Lu Zhiruo felt very vexed. She was clearly the senior martial sister, but she was so useless.
"Don't worry, there are other ways!"
Li Ziqi clenched her left fist and placed it by her mouth. She kept on biting her thumbnail as she racked her brain.
Those adventure stories that the little sunny egg had read in the past, as well as the battle achievements of the great teacher circles she had heard of, all of them rapidly flashed through her mind.
There were fifteen people in the team. Everyone's strengths and weaknesses flashed in his mind.
The living habits, hunting habits, and social characteristics of the human-faced spiders were all revealed …
All of a sudden, Li Ziqi's eyes brightened.
"Zhang Yaozong, let's go look for the broodmother of this spider horde!"
Li Ziqi spoke.
"Are you crazy?"
"Do you feel that we won't die fast enough?"
"Why do we need to look for the broodmother? Negotiate? "
The students all started talking at once. Some started scolding, some mocked, and some even foolishly asked for the reason.
"Why?"
Zhang Yaozong didn't understand the reason.
"Sickly invalid, explain it to us!"
Li Ziqi wanted to continue thinking about the concrete plan. She knew that given Tantai's intelligence, he would definitely be able to understand her battle strategy.
"Ziqi plans to use the spiritual beast control technique to enslave that broodmother. As long as she controls it, she would be able to command the entire spider horde."
Tantai Yutang explained.
Actually, after entering the cave and seeing those unlucky fellows from Chongde, Tantai Yutang already knew that something was going to happen. After that, he started to think about the dangers they might encounter and how to resolve them.
"This little sunny egg is quite impressive!"
Tantai Yutang silently praised.
"Is this a joke?"
Zeng Gang called out.
"Why haven't the spiders attacked yet? It's because they are waiting for the army to finish surrounding them. Hence, if they want to kill their way out, they would encounter many spiders. But if you think about it from another perspective, at this moment, the spiders around the broodmother should be the weakest. "
Tantai Yutang's tone was still frivolous, causing Zeng Gang to be so angry that he wanted to beat him up.
"No way!"
Zhang Yaozong rejected. "Firstly, we have no way to find the broodmother immediately. Secondly, if we want to enslave a battle pet, we need to communicate with it for a long period of time. Thirdly, even if we forcibly enslave it, the broodmother's strength is too strong, and the failure rate is too high!"
If a spirit controller wanted to recruit a spiritual beast, they could either be like Sun Mo and Little Silver, mutually acknowledging each other and having an equal relationship, or forcibly enslaving it.
The latter was to use force to subdue the spiritual beast. But by doing so, the chances of the spiritual beast rebelling would be extremely high. Moreover, the higher the intelligence of the spiritual beast, the higher the failure rate of enslaving it.
Lu Zhiruo suddenly raised her hand. "I can find the broodmother!"
"How?"
Li Ziqi was also considering this problem.
The papaya girl took out an arrow from Ying Baiwu's quiver and placed it vertically on the ground. She didn't chant an incantation nor did she pray. She just released it casually.
Pak!
The arrow fell down and pointed in the 9 o 'clock direction.
"The broodmother is over there!"
Lu Zhiruo vowed.
"..."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Zhang Yaozong's countenance instantly turned black. If it wasn't for the fact that the situation wasn't right, he would have cursed Lu Zhiruo's eighteen generations of ancestors.
"What about little loachie? Can it find the broodmother? "
Li Ziqi asked in a low voice.
The spirit qi roaming dragon was extremely sensitive to spirit qi.
This sensitivity wasn't only toward ores and medicinal herbs. It also included powerful humans, ferocious beasts, insects, etc!
It was because the bodies of these experts were also filled with spirit qi.
"That's right, how could I have forgotten about it?"
Lu Zhiruo smacked her forehead. After that, she hurriedly bit her thumb and used her blood to draw a mysterious diagram on her palm. After that, she clapped her hands together and channeled spirit qi into it.
Bang!
A cloud of white fog exploded. After that, the spirit qi roaming dragon appeared before Lu Zhiruo.
This was the spiritual control technique Sun Mo had taught the papaya girl. No matter where the spiritual beast was, as long as she used it, she would be able to summon it over.
However, the further the distance, the more spirit qi would be expended.
"You actually forgot about your own spiritual beast?"
Zhang Yaozong was speechless. He felt that the papaya girl was very unreliable.
Jiji!
The moment little loachie appeared, it coiled around Lu Zhiruo's arm.
"Hehe!"
Lu Zhiruo stretched out her index finger and tapped little loachie's head. After that, she took out a handful of popcorn from her pocket and passed it to the spirit qi roaming dragon.
This was a snack that Sun Mo had made. After adding sugar and popping corn, it was very tasty!
"I say, can we feel a little nervous?"
Zhu Jian was speechless.
"Oh!"
Lu Zhiruo, who was originally laughing, immediately retracted her expression and put on a nervous one.
"..."
Zhu Jian covered his eyes. (Forget it, I won't look anymore.)
"Little loachie, can you find the broodmother?"
Li Ziqi asked. If it was an ordinary spiritual beast, it would surely not understand the little sunny egg's words. However, the spirit qi roaming dragon definitely wouldn't have a problem.
Little loachie lifted its head and paused for a few seconds. After that, it started chirping and used its tail to point to a cave.
When everyone saw this, they were speechless again. Wasn't this the direction that Lu Zhiruo had found? She had really guessed it correctly.
"Luck! It must be luck! "
Xu Dingjiang mumbled.
"Group leader, give the order!"
Li Ziqi urged. The spiders had already started to move forward.
"..."
Zhang Yaozong didn't say it out loud. If they escaped, they might be able to survive. But if they failed to enslave the broodmother, all of them would be wiped out. They wouldn't even have the time to release the signal tube.
"Hurry up, there's no more time!"
Zhu Jian urged. It was better to have a bad idea than not paying attention at all.
"Everyone, pay attention. Charge toward the broodmother's nest. Zhiruo, Tantai, Xu Jialiang, the three of you are in charge of those who are unconscious."
Li Ziqi gave the order.
Zhang Yaozong didn't agree nor reject it because this concerned the life and death of 21 people. He really couldn't make this decision.
This was human life. It was too difficult to decide life and death with a single sentence.
"Zhu Jian, Xuanyuan Po, Ying Baiwu, you guys will be the vanguard. Zeng Gang, Zhang Yaozong, the two of you will cover the rear. Alright, that's all!"
"Charge! Charge! Charge! "
Li Ziqi raised her longsword and fiercely swung it forward. "For Teacher!"
"Shouldn't it be for survival? It's good even if it's for the championship! What the hell is Teacher? How much do you worship Sun Mo? "
Zhang Yaozong ridiculed.
However, since things had come to this, there was no longer any leeway to turn back. As Li Ziqi roared, those spiders were alarmed and started to attack.
Tantai Yutang glanced at Li Ziqi. Other than raising their morale, she was also intentionally startling those spiders. This way, everyone would have no choice but to act according to her plan.
Actually, Tantai Yutang's plan was the same as Li Ziqi's. He had planned to attack those spiders and force everyone to act according to her plan.
Under such a dangerous situation, Li Ziqi could still think calmly and advance step by step. This was truly impressive!
"F * ck them to death!"
Xuanyuan Po took the lead, but Ying Baiwu's arrow had already arrived. In the darkness, the arrow shone with a translucent glow, looking extremely beautiful.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The spiders in the 9 o 'clock direction were instantly killed. Over ten of them died, and the area in front of Xuanyuan Po suddenly became empty.
Li Ziqi's guess was right. The human-faced spiders' main focus was on those tunnels that led out of the cave. The few tunnels that led to the broodmother's nest were empty.
"There are no more spiders!"
Xuanyuan Po shouted, "Where should we go?"
"Follow little loachie!"
Li Ziqi shouted.
Escape? No, the little sunny egg's goal was even greater. She wanted to be number one. Once this battle tactic succeeded, she would have a chance to make a comeback.
