* Whoosh … *
An evil wind howled.
A skinny and withered figure leapt down from the top of the tree, but was caught by Grimm's flaming hand.
With the help of the flickering flames, Grimm scanned its body and was able to gauge its strength.
It was actually a semi-undead creature!
This was a terrifying corpse that had slept in a white cocoon for many years. Its originally plump body was now completely shriveled, its abdomen sunken in. The sparse hair on its head had already turned yellow, and countless small spiders crawled in and out of its empty eye sockets, nostrils, and mouth.
* Awooo … *
The corpse that was originally not a living creature now looked more like a monster that had been resurrected from hell. Its empty eye sockets suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light, and its crooked mouth was opened wide, causing its entire face to distort beyond recognition.
However, no matter how much the corpse struggled, it could not escape from Grimm's flaming hand.
[Beep. Information has been collected …]
[Corpse, Spider Undead (Low-grade), High-grade Acolyte's strength, does not fear death, possesses corpse poison. Body: Strength 1, 4, Agility 1, 1, Vitality 2, 1, Spirit 0, 4]
After receiving the A.I. Chip's notification, Grimm did not hold back any longer. The flames in his hand rose, and in an instant, the shrieking corpse was incinerated into nothingness.
The flames did not extinguish, and instead ignited the ancient tree in front of him.
The layers of white spider webs that were wrapped around the ancient tree had become the best fuel for the fire. The moment the flaming hand was placed on the tree, it only took five or six fingers to turn the 60-metre tall tree into a blazing torch.
The flames licked and raged, and the dry ancient tree crackled as it burned. Countless spiders of all sizes swarmed out from the ancient tree, and the Spider Forest that had not seen a single creature before finally lived up to its name.
It was not that there were no spiders in the Spider Forest, but they were all hiding in the ancient tree or underground. With the special spider webs covering them, it was difficult for outsiders to detect their presence.
In just a short while, three to four hundred terrifying corpses from all over the Spider Forest let out strange cries as they rushed over. They had obviously regarded Grim, who had ignited the ancient tree, as their only enemy. They pounced on him from all directions.
The Three-headed Devil Hound Angujia leaped forward and pounced on a corpse. Its sharp claws instantly crushed the corpse's chest and head. Its three heads weren't idle either. A string of wind blades, fireballs, and acid balls were shot out, shattering the dried corpses that pounced on it in the air.
For a moment, none of the corpses could get close to Grim!
As the leader of the Demonic Creatures, Angujia's strength was not to be underestimated. Although it did not have any praiseworthy performance in the battle at the Lava Hall, it was all because Grimm did not give it any chance to perform.
Now that he was facing a group of spider undeads that were weaker than him, Anguja's agility and his three elemental attacks were fast and ruthless. With Angujia leading the way, Grim could be at ease and become a master of arson. He threw fireballs as he walked, burning the surrounding ancient trees into the sky.
For safety's sake, Grimm left the Manticore at the entrance of the valley to keep a lookout. Grimm only brought Angujia with him as he charged into the Spider Forest. Without the hindrance of an outsider, Grimm became even more unbridled.
The so-called Spider Forest was just a modified black forest in the huge valley. It was only four to five miles deep. When Grimm and Angujia pushed through the endless attacks of the corpses and spiders, the entrance to a huge cave appeared in the middle of the valley.
This was actually the entrance to the Spider Lair. The Spider Forest outside was just a hunting zone that the Hunter Spider Tula had opened up!
At this point, Grimm could not see any other colors apart from white.
The trees were wrapped in white spider webs, and the ground was covered in layers of spider webs. It was as if the two of them were walking in a white ocean. Everything they saw was sticky and disgusting.
Against such a home ground for spiders, Three-Headed Devil Hound Angujia was helpless.
Either he didn't go in, or he could only endure the torture of these damned spider webs …
Even if Angujia wasn't careful, he would fall into the sticky spider webs if he fought in such an environment. Before he could break free from the spider webs, the Hunter Spider Tula would have already chopped him into pieces!
Hmph …
Grimm snorted coldly. He flicked his finger and shot a Fire Talisman into Angujia's body. He then activated the Flame Barrier without hesitation.
Although the Flame Barrier that covered an area of a hundred meters was suppressed here, its terrifying ignition effect was exceptionally effective. All the spider webs within twenty steps of Grimm were suddenly set ablaze. The sticky spider webs on the ground also gradually faded away, revealing the dark and heavy soil once again.
"Let's go, I can sense that Tula is in the lair …"
Grimm strode forward without hesitation and led the way into the Spider Lair. Angujia shuddered and hurriedly shouted, "Master, wait for me!" Then, he chased after Grimm with all his might.
A burning sea of fire began to spread into the depths of the Spider Lair!
… …
The Spider Lair.
This was a dark, lightless underground cave.
In the deathly stillness of the darkness, strange green rays of light suddenly lit up.
When these balls of strange green light flickered twice, people were astonished to discover that they were actually the complex compound eyes of some enormous creature.
The Hunter Spider Tula squirmed its body uneasily, silently sensing the violent vibrations coming from the spider webs below it.
Enemies are coming!
There was no need for Tula to go out and investigate. The image of a tall and terrifying Balrog naturally appeared in its mind.
These damned human Magi didn't even give it a chance to catch its breath. They attacked without the slightest scruple and entered the Spider Lair that it had been managing for hundreds of years.
Hmph, that Lava Hall is your home ground. You even incinerated the cannon fodder I brought. However, this Spider Lair is my home ground. Since you dared to come, I'll let you die here!
As Tula thought hatefully, its eight hairy spider legs rhythmically shook the spider webs below it. Noiselessly, messages were transmitted in all directions. The strange creatures that were hiding in the various hidden corners of the Spider Lair also made their moves.
In a corner of this hidden cave, a large white sticky cocoon was torn open. Medusa's pretty little face was revealed, pursing her lips and emitting a mournful and angry shriek.
However, in the next second, the tear on the cocoon was covered by the white sticky liquid that Tula spat out.
Tula dragged his body riddled with scars, arriving in front of the cocoon with zheng zheng noises. He spat out fine threads from the enormous abdomen sac behind him, and then his eight limbs gently moved the cocoon, wrapping it in a layer of spider webs.
"Don't resist … The spider eggs have already been implanted in your body. In another 17 hours, my newest batch of children will hatch from within. Being able to become my children's food and host is your greatest honor. When that time comes, they will possess the innate abilities of Demon Spiders and Medusas. They will definitely become my most capable assistants … "
As the Demon Hunter Spider Tula's petal-shaped mouth opened and closed, the eerie and terrifying cave was filled with the peculiar laughter of spiders. It was accompanied by Dana's deep and hoarse cries of pain!
… …
A pitch-black shadow extended in front of them. The narrow and narrow passageway twisted and turned without the slightest bit of light.
However, as Grimm continued to advance, the darkness was dispelled, and everything was covered in raging flames.
After entering the Spider Lair, Grimm tossed out two Demon Puppet Crystals and summoned the Roarer and the Decayed One. The Roarer was in front, and its tall stone body was suitable as a meat shield. The Decayed One was at the back, and its silent stealth made many people unaware of its existence.
Grimm and Anguja were protected in the middle, and they advanced quickly and firmly into the depths of the underground.
The passageway leading underground was rugged and full of winding paths and forks. Without a guide who was familiar with the way, it would be difficult for newcomers to find the correct path in the labyrinthine underground.
However, it was strange that Grimm, who had come here for the first time, seemed to be very familiar with the Spider Lair. He followed the nearest path without any deviation and headed straight for the Demon Hunter Spider Tula's lair.
This undoubtedly made Tula, who was hiding in the depths of the underground, anxious. It could only frantically send out the mutated spider army that it had been keeping for a long time.
"Enemies are coming!" Grimm warned softly.
The Roarer, who was walking at the front, stopped in its tracks. It dug its hands into the ground and quickly created a huge stone sword for itself. The sword was thick and heavy, and it was covered in rough rock spikes. It was quite suitable for a powerful 'beast' like it!
Strange rustling sounds came from the end of the passageway. Grimm threw a Witchcraft Fireball over, and it immediately illuminated a dense group of strange spider monsters in a dark corner.
In the next second, an overwhelming number of Shadow Arrows, Acid Balls, Bone Spikes, and Spider Webs were shot at it.
The Roarer relied on its huge body to block almost eighty percent of the attacks. It then waved its giant sword and roared as it charged forward. In such a narrow passageway, there was no space for it to swing its sword. Therefore, every time it charged forward, it would inject a large amount of Earth Element into the stone sword in its hand.
Then, following the explosion of the stone sword, hundreds of oddly shaped stone spikes shot out, covering the area within ten to twenty meters in front of him.
