"Little girl, my men have already checked the area. They didn't find any traces of demon creatures. The spiders that left their feces behind have already left, "Kuma said.
"That means your men aren't good enough. Have you checked the area above?" Ling Ling asked.
"Above?" Kuma was startled.
Kuma immediately went to the wall of the Rift Valley and placed her hand on it after Ling Ling's reminder.
Kuma was focused. A few minutes later, her expression changed. Her eyes were filled with shock and disbelief when she looked at Ling Ling again.
However, she did not have time to say anything. She quickly went to the campsite and yelled, "Prepare for battle!"
"Battle? There aren't any demon creatures nearby! "Tommy looked around in confusion.
"Yeah, I've already checked …"
"Keep your eyes open and look at the wall!" Kuma snapped furiously.
At this time, the mercenaries began to carefully examine the top of the stone wall.
The Rift Valley was very deep. There was not much light coming from where they were. The wall was clearly curved and uneven, making it difficult for them to see what was going on.
"It's over here, up there. Oh my Heavens, it's the Bone-Eating Spiders!" a mercenary yelled.
The mercenary was standing on the wall. He purposely tilted his head and saw a few dozen Bone-Eating Spiders crawling on both sides of the Rift Valley.
Each and every one of them had extremely fat poison glands. Their small and pointy heads were extremely similar to the ferocious faces of evil women. Their slender and soft claws could completely stick to the vertical stone walls. Furthermore, when they moved at high speed, they did not make the slightest sound of footsteps!
Most Mages used Earth Wave to sense the presence of creatures on the ground, especially when demon creatures were moving. The Earth Wave was perfect for capturing the footsteps of demon creatures. The greater the number of demon creatures, the stronger the footsteps would be. Therefore, experienced Earth Mages would not allow themselves to be surrounded by demon creatures. The footsteps of demon creatures were more obvious when they were moving in groups.
However, these Bone-Eating Spiders … they didn't make a single sound. They quietly approached, quietly peeked, so quiet that it made one's hair stand on end.
Most importantly, there were too many of them. They had only sensed such a large group of Magical Beasts when they were so close. If they had been any closer, they might have been overwhelmed by them before they could even set up any defenses!
"There's more here!" Another mercenary shouted.
"Vice Commander, we have a lot of them here, over a hundred!!"
"What are you panicking for? Kill as many as you can. These scum think we are here to feed them. We'll teach them a lesson!" Kuma yelled.
The mercenaries were indeed well-trained. They had been setting up camp randomly not long ago, but they were now in formation. A bunch of Earth Mages and Light Mages stood at the outer circle, while the destructive Mages stood at the center. Some nimble Mages attracted the attention of the demon creatures further away, while a few relatively strong Mages were free to attack!
"F * * k me, why aren't they protecting us?" Zhao Manyan cursed.
The Earth Mages and Light Mages had surrounded the members of the other nine teams, but the ninth team had been pushed to the outer circle. The Bone-Eating Spiders were smart. They would prioritize attacking the ninth team when they saw the ninth team was alone.
"It's our fault for being slow. We should've moved closer to the center when we were lining up. Now, in order to maintain the formation, we can only find a place to hide and pray for our own good," a new mercenary in the team said.
There were four other people in the ninth team. Two of them were new mercenaries, while the other two were suffering from altitude sickness, and the last one was a loafer. It could be seen that compared to the other well-organized teams, their team seemed to be at a loss.
"Let's go over there. It will give us a better view," Ai Jiangtu pointed at a spacious boulder.
"Aren't we just going to be surrounded by the spiders if we go over there? I think it's better here. There's a boulder above us, it's safer," the new mercenary said.
The others followed Ai Jiangtu's suggestion. They quickly ran toward the boulder with a spacious area. The new mercenary remained in place, not knowing what to do.
The new mercenary subconsciously lifted his head and saw four claws poking out from a gap in the boulder. More claws reached out from the gap in just a few seconds. More Bone-Eating Spiders were squeezing their way out of the gaps!
The new recruit was scared out of his wits. He immediately ran toward Mo Fan and the others.
"The Bone-Eating Spiders live in groups. They hunt in groups too. During the day, they will hide in the sand and wait for their prey to walk into their traps. At night, they will crawl back into the gaps and caves, "Ling Ling told the others.
"Can't you give us some useful information? For example, what kind of Elements they are afraid of, or their general strength!" Mofan said.
The terrain of the Rift Valley was rather complicated, especially the boulders, cracks, and slopes above them. The Bone-Eating Spiders were able to climb up the boulders perfectly. None of them were able to reach the ground …
It meant the Bone-Eating Spiders were attacking from above. They had to consider whether the boulders above them would collapse before they cast their destructive spells to prevent themselves from being buried under the Rift Valley.
…
More Bone-Eating Spiders showed up. They did not touch the ground. They were all crawling or hanging upside down on the boulders. The group had no choice but to look up.
"Fire!" Kuma gave the order. The Mages of the mercenaries took the initiative to cast the first wave of spells.
"Si si si ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"
The Bone-Eating Spiders reacted very quickly. They had been stalking their prey just a moment ago, but when the spells landed on them, they immediately withdrew into the gaps where they could hide. Their movements were quick and orderly!
The spells did not kill many of the Bone-Eating Spiders. The Bone-Eating Spiders were very patient. They continued to hang above the group and stare at the mercenaries with their green eyes.
"They are very cunning!"
"Keep going, listen to my order … attack!" Kuma repeated.
The mercenaries' formation was staggered. It did not mean they did not immediately stop casting their spells after casting the first wave of spells. Their firepower was split into two echelons. They could immediately cast the second wave of spells after the first.
