Zhou Wen heard that the sound came from the backyard, but it was already covered in beads of silk like a snow cave.
Truth Listener's ability allowed Zhou Wen to see the situation inside. Zhong Ziya was fighting a horde of spiders, and in the yard, there was something that looked like a well. A horde of spiders rushed out from it. Clearly, that was the problem.
"I'll be right there." As Zhou Wen spoke, he rushed over and circled to the backyard. Indeed, he saw Zhong Ziya fighting a horde of spiders.
He didn't have any spider silk on him, and his strength clearly couldn't restrain the spider silk like Zhou Wen. However, his movement technique was extremely strange. He was like a boneless snake swimming on the spider silk. The spider silk couldn't stick to him.
Zhou Wen took a careful look and realized that when Zhong Ziya's body touched the spider silk, he would land on the non-sticky spider silk. The spiders couldn't do a thing to him.
However, Zhong Ziya's situation wasn't good either. Although ordinary spiders couldn't do a thing to him, there was an extremely strange spider that put Zhong Ziya in danger.
The spider was also snow-white, but on its back, there was a unique blood-red pattern. The pattern was like a human face, making it stand out among the snow-white spiders.
The blood-patterned spider constantly swam through the spider horde to avoid being attacked by Zhong Ziya. Zhong Ziya kept chasing it, but there was something that left Zhou Wen puzzled.
When the blood-patterned spider burrowed into the spider horde, Zhong Ziya lost his target. When he saw it again, he couldn't recognize it at first glance.
"Ziya, what's the situation now?" Hui Haifeng also noticed that something was amiss and hurriedly asked.
"That spider is the problem. Quickly kill it," Zhong Ziya said.
"Is that so? But why does it look like you don't want to kill it?" Hui Haifeng said as he rushed over.
"If I could recognize it, I would have killed it long ago. It's very cunning. It always burrows into the spider horde and mingles with the other spiders. It takes a while to tell which one it is," Zhong Ziya said.
"No way. Can't you see such a huge blood-colored pattern on its back?" Hui Haifeng asked in puzzlement.
"I have red blindness. I can't see red." Zhong Ziya's answer nearly made Zhou Wen and Hui Haifeng's jaws drop to the ground. If it wasn't for this critical juncture, they wouldn't have believed that such a strange illness existed in the world.
Hui Haifeng directly rushed up and punched the blood-patterned spider. The blood-patterned spider's six claws moved very fast and easily dodged Hui Haifeng's attack. Hui Haifeng's speed was not his strong point. Now that he was wrapped in spider silk, he became even more clumsy. He could not catch up with the blood-patterned spider, but he killed several ordinary spiders.
Without a word, Zhou Wen used Ghost Steps and charged forward as though he had teleported. He sliced the blood-patterned spider into two with the Bamboo Blade.
Unlike other spiders, the Blood-patterned Spider did not turn into dust after it died. It turned out to be a real body of flesh and blood.
What's going on? Zhou Wen was somewhat surprised. He imagined that all the spiders were puppets, but this one was clearly not.
The moment the blood-patterned spider died, the well on the ground exploded and spewed out large amounts of white liquid. Then, no more spiders crawled out.
The spiders that had crawled out were all killed by the trio. Zhou Wen walked into the well and took a look. He realized that it was only a few meters deep. It was like a huge pot, and he had no idea how so many spiders had crawled out.
The army fired crazily from outside to kill the spiders that crawled out, but the effects were getting worse. Many soldiers were hung up by the spider silk, and some even had their bodies snapped by the spider silk.
Just as the defense line was about to collapse, the number of spiders crawling out of the Duke of Zhou Temple seemed to decrease significantly, allowing them to gradually stabilize the situation.
"They succeeded!" The officer in charge was pleasantly surprised. He ordered the soldiers to increase their firepower and destroy all the spiders as soon as possible.
By the time Zhou Wen and company came out, the spiders outside had mostly been killed by the army and the other students who had rushed over to provide reinforcements.
"Students, thank you for everything you have done …" The officer was about to say something when he suddenly received an urgent notification. Another spot in the city where spiders gathered had been discovered. The army there was requesting reinforcements.
"Students, if possible, can I invite you to make another trip?" the officer said in embarrassment.
"How troublesome. Where is it?" Zhong Ziya asked.
Therefore, Zhou Wen and company became an emergency rescue team. They constantly shuttled through the city and were in charge of clearing the spots that constantly produced spiders.
There were more than ten such spots in Luoyang City. Furthermore, they had been discovered. It was unknown how many of them hadn't been discovered in the suburbs.
The three of them were supposed to head to different spots, but Hui Haifeng couldn't catch up to the blood-patterned spiders. Zhong Ziya had red blindness, so they had no choice but to rush over together.
Thankfully, with the two of them opening the way, Zhou Wen only needed to focus on killing the blood-patterned spiders. The effects were greatly improved.
After killing a few blood-patterned spiders, he found a Companion Egg in one of them. Zhou Wen used his mysterious phone to take a look.
Heavenly Spider Larva: Legendary (Larva)
Life Providence: Son of the Sky
Strength: 19
Speed: 20
Constitution: 17
Primordial Energy: 20
Talent Skill: Sky Spider Silk, Sky Spider Blood Poison
Companion Form: Sky Spider Glove
When Zhou Wen saw the description of a larva, he knew what was going on. Typical Companion Beasts didn't have any room for growth. The Legendary stage was the Legendary stage, so it was impossible for them to evolve further.
However, with the label of a larva, it meant that it still had room for growth. As for what level it could advance to after becoming an adult, it would depend on its bloodline.
Since it was a larva of a Sky Spider, it would probably grow into an existence like the Sky Spider in the sky in the future.
The three of them constantly moved around and helped the military kill the Sky Spider larvae. Many officers recognized them, but they didn't know their names.
Zhou Wen and company killed another Sky Spider larva. Just as they were rushing to the next spot, they suddenly saw the entire sky light up.
It was already daytime, but the light was even more dazzling than the sun.
The three of them couldn't help but look up. They saw a resplendent sword beam streak across the sky as though it had traversed the entire sky. It killed the gigantic Sky Spider along with its spider web.
The Sky Spider that had been sliced into two fell from the sky. It was unknown where it landed, but it caused the entire city to tremble as though there was an earthquake.
Zhou Wen stared at the sky. At the spot where the sword beam vanished, a man wearing an officer's uniform and a trench coat stood in midair like a god of war.
An Tianzuo? Although he couldn't see his face clearly due to the distance, his figure immediately reminded Zhou Wen of An Tianzuo.
