After spending most of the day, the team of Bladefoot Worms finally arrived near the second exit with the Boa Worm.
From afar, Lin Huang could see the gatekeeper of the second exit through the Bladefoot Worms.
This time, the gatekeeper bug was a Ghoul Spider with ninth-rank heavenly god-level combat strength.
The Ghoul Spider was a ferocious bug beast that excelled in assassination.
Not only did it have invisibility and control-type abilities, but it also had poison in its body, so its attack speed was extremely fast.
A Ghoul Spider that had not been contaminated by Abyssal energy was already very difficult to deal with.
However, the gatekeeper this time had an even more mysterious aura, and its personality was even more twisted.
The moment the team of Bladefoot Worms appeared before him, this Ghoul Spider immediately spat out spider silk to control six Bladefoot Worms.
Lin Huang thought that his parasitic technique had been discovered, so he immediately dispersed the Leech Pods. However, he then saw the Ghoul Spider control a few Bladefoot Worms to walk up to him, then bite off half of a Bladefoot Worm's body.
In less than two minutes, the Ghoul Spider devoured all six Bladefoot Worms.
Then, he turned invisible and disappeared.
Virtuoso and the rest saw that Lin Huang had not said anything for a long time, so they did not rush him. Instead, they waited patiently for his detection results.
Lin Huang only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that his Leech Pods had not been discovered. He then relayed what he had seen.
"The gatekeeper is a ninth-rank Ghoul Spider. I'm not sure if it was being cautious or just happened to be hungry, but it attacked my team of Bladefoot Worms and ate all six of them …"
"It's not being cautious, nor is it hungry." Virtuoso, who was next to him, explained, "The Ghoul Spider is violent to begin with. It will automatically attack all living creatures that enter its territory. The Ghoul Spider that has been contaminated by Abyssal energy will only have more negative emotions. It's normal for it to behave like this. "
"So what should we do now? Go to the next exit?" Lan Ling had already controlled the Boa Worm to stop in its tracks.
"This exit is also guarded by a ninth-rank. Basically, we can confirm that our earlier guess is correct. The remaining exits should also be guarded by ninth-ranks," Virtuoso said calmly, "The next exit is no different from this one."
"Should we force our way through?" As Tu Tong spoke, he was already in combat mode.
"There's no rush. Let's try it out first." As soon as Virtuoso finished speaking, they quickly performed several hand seals with both hands.
The next instant, a silhouette identical to Virtuoso emerged from his body. As if ignoring the Boa Worm and the walls, it slowly emerged from the ground and appeared in the Labyrinth's passageway.
As soon as Virtuoso 2 steadied itself in the passageway, its body shot out abruptly, heading swiftly in the direction of the exit guarded by the Ghoul Spiders.
The moment he appeared, the invisible Ghoul Spider launched an attack.
Virtuoso 2 seemed to sense its attack. Before the attack could get close to it, it retreated immediately, turning to flee.
The Ghoul Spider chased after Virtuoso 2 for two steps but seemed to think of something very quickly. It turned around and retreated to the exit, watching Virtuoso 2's silhouette disappear into the distance. Only then did it slowly return to its invisible state again.
Everyone saw this scene clearly through Lan Ling's incantation projection.
"I failed." Saber9 was obviously rather disappointed.
Lin Huang and the rest understood that Virtuoso was trying to lure the Ghoul Spider away by using a shadow image. Unfortunately, it did not take the bait.
"Based on the Ghoul Spider's personality, it would definitely give chase under normal circumstances. However, it chose to give up right away." However, this situation seemed to be within Virtuoso's expectations. "This means that the order it received must have included not giving chase to prevent it from being lured away.
"If anyone has any other tricks up their sleeves, use them as soon as possible. This Ghoul Spider must've reported the probing earlier. " Lin Huang's gaze swept across everyone. "If I'm not mistaken, there should be many search teams heading in this direction right now. We don't have much time left. "
"I'll try again." The first to speak was still Virtuoso. As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Lan Ling. "When you hear my orders later, control the Boa Worm to rush over immediately."
Lan Ling nodded immediately.
Virtuoso's hands quickly began to perform complicated hand seals. The mask on their faces began to light up with golden sigils.
A moment later, Lin Huang and the rest saw the Ghoul Spider suddenly reveal itself, hanging upside down above the exit. However, it suddenly stopped moving.
What Lin Huang and the rest did not know was that in the Ghoul Spider's eyes, a Boa Worm had suddenly emerged from underground and was running toward the exit.
It leaped from above the exit and pierced the Boa Worm's body with its sharp claws.
However, several silhouettes suddenly emerged from the Boa Worm's body and attacked it …
"Now!" Virtuoso commanded. Lan Ling hurriedly controlled the Boa Worm to burrow toward the exit from underground.
In just a moment, the Boa Worm had arrived beneath the Ghoul Spider. There was nowhere to go, so Lan Ling could only control it to emerge from underground and continue charging toward the exit.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden spatial fluctuation nearby.
A silhouette stepped out of the Spatial Whirlpool, just in time to see the Boa Worm that was about to charge out of the exit.
It swung its claws through the air, transforming into several golden gleams that swept past the Boa Worm's body and sliced it into several pieces of flesh.
Everyone was shocked. They had not expected a ninth-rank Golden-clawed Bug to appear at the last moment and completely ruin Virtuoso's plan.
Golden-clawed Bugs were Bug Tribes beings with extremely powerful offensive abilities.
Unlike the insect legs of many Bug Tribes, they had the sharp claws of beasts, and they usually mastered the power of Order that could cut. Their attack power was no less than that of human sword or sword cultivator powerhouses of the same combat strength.
The Golden-clawed Bug's physique was even more powerful after being contaminated by Abyssal energy. The Abyssal energy within its body could even absorb the residual Rule Bending Power and sequence power, allowing its Enhanced Regeneration ability to take effect under Rule Bending Power and sequence power attacks. This made its close-range combat ability even more powerful.
As the Golden-clawed Bug's attack caused an intense energy shockwave, the Ghoul Spider's sixteen eyeballs above everyone's heads began to glow with a piercing blood-red gleam.
The Ghoul Spider had awakened!
Initially, Virtuoso had reached their limit when they pulled the Ghoul Spider into an illusion that was an entire major rank above them. In reality, even without external interference, their illusion would not last more than a few seconds on the ninth-rank heavenly god-level Ghoul Spider. Therefore, they had urged Lan Ling to control the Boa Worm and leave immediately.
However, the energy shockwave from the Golden-clawed Bug's attack immediately alerted the Ghoul Spider that something was amiss. It only struggled slightly before breaking free from the illusion. Then, it saw the Golden-clawed Bug's carcass that had been sliced into several pieces below it, as well as several silhouettes emerging from the carcass …
