The group retreated to their original spot, but none of them were able to calm down.
They were surrounded by rocks, and there was not enough light. If the Bone-Eating Spiders really had the ability to camouflage themselves, they could easily find a Bone-Eating Spider anywhere they went!
The mercenaries felt their hair stand on end. Previously, they only needed to look up and observe the area above them to prevent the Bone-Eating Spiders from pouncing on them. Now, they had to keep an eye on their surroundings. A Bone-Eating Spider could be lurking in any blind spot that their eyes could not see!
The Bone-Eating Spiders were found in other deserts, but they had never heard of them having the ability to camouflage themselves. It was hard to tell if the Bone-Eating Spiders on Tianshan Mountain had evolved in the harsh environment, or if they had inherited some ancient lineage. Everyone shivered in fear.
Every bush and tree looked like an enemy ambush. The canyon fell silent. The Bone-Eating Spiders did not make any noise, nor could they hear their footsteps. However, the heavy breathing of the mercenaries made the atmosphere even more tense.
"Nan Jue, can't you hear where they are either?" Guan Yu asked.
Nan Jue shook his head.
The footsteps of these Bone-Eating Spiders are too light. The sound they make when they move might not even be as loud as the sound of a fly flapping its wings. The reason why humans can hear the buzzing of a fly is because of its high frequency.
The Bone-Eating Spiders were extremely cunning. They moved their claws slowly and cautiously. Nanyu's Sound Element was not very useful, unless the Bone-Eating Spider took the initiative to attack them, or started climbing the ground at a faster pace.
"My Darkness Invasion didn't work either. They aren't moving at all," Mo Fan said helplessly.
"If there's no other choice, we'll just drag it out with them. If they don't move, we won't move either," Zhao Manyan said.
The group did not dare to go anywhere they had not checked carefully. They had no idea if there was a Bone-Eating Spiders right beside them or under their feet. Luckily, the Bone-Eating Spiders were not completely invisible. They could still see strange patterns on the walls and rocks when they moved!
The Mailong Private Military Group did not come up with a better plan. The Bone-Eating Spiders were still not attacking. They would occasionally kill a few careless ones, but it did not make any difference.
…
"Dong dong dong dong dong ~ ~ ~ ~"
From afar, a strange vibrating sound could be heard. Nan Jue, who had a strong sense of hearing, stood still and listened attentively.
"Far away …" Nan Jue muttered to herself.
After listening for a few minutes, Nan Jue spoke again. She frowned and said, "Is it a beast tide?"
"What are you talking about?" Mofan asked, puzzled.
"Something majestic is coming from afar," Nan Jue said.
"How far is it?" Mofan asked.
"Seven or eight kilometers away," Nan Jue said.
"Sigh, seven or eight kilometers away. What does that have to do with us? Maybe a Hunter Group provoked a pack of Giant Desolate Beasts and is being chased by them right now," Zhao Manyan said.
"It doesn't look like it …" Nan Jue shook her head.
Nan Jue felt uneasy and continued to listen.
Around ten minutes later, Nan Jue's face darkened.
"I think I know what the Bone-Eating Spiders are waiting for," Nan Jue said.
"Does that mean they have other companions?"
"Ai Jiangtu, you have to tell the Vice Leader that we have to find a slope in the opposite direction in half an hour. Otherwise, we are all going to be buried by the landslide … these Bone-Eating Spiders are waiting for us to be buried alive so they can dig us out and eat us!" Nan Jue said.
The Great Rift Valley of Tianshan Mountain was connected to higher altitudes. When the flood came down like a torrent, it would fill up most of the crevices, valleys, slopes, and tunnels. As for the caves and grottoes that did not have a solid mountain to rely on, there was a high chance that they would collapse and collapse.
Therefore, only by finding a long slope or high slope in the opposite direction of the mudslide would they be able to slightly slow down the destructive power of the mudslide!
The Bone-Eating Spiders were native to the area. They were familiar with the pattern of the landslide. They did not attack the mercenaries because there was a simpler way for them to wipe them out. They could simply guard the mercenaries in the path of the landslide!
The Bone-Eating Spiders could dodge the landslide, but the humans could not!
…
"What!?"
"The landslide is going to reach us in half an hour. Damn it, damn it, why did it have to happen now!? "
"These Bone-Eating Spiders must have killed a lot of their prey with the same method. Otherwise, why would there be so many of them in such a barren place?"
Kuma frowned. She had been keeping an eye out for the reverse slope. It was around a kilometer away from where they had come from, but they could not even travel four to five hundred meters. How were they going to return to a kilometer away? How many Bone-Eating Spiders were lying in wait for their prey to fall into their trap?
"There's no other choice. We have to retreat to the slope at once!"
"The ninth team, go ahead and clear a path. The other teams, follow us! "Kuma ordered.
"Affirmative!"
"Affirmative!"
Zhao Manyan was enraged when he heard the order.
"F * * k me, why are you asking us to be the spotlights? Everyone knows this place is crawling with Bone-Eating Spiders!" Zhao Manyan cursed.
"I'll lead the way, follow me," Ai Jiangtu said.
"Be careful, the Bone-Eating Spiders are only a few meters away from you. You won't even have time to cast your spells," Nan Jue warned him.
"Don't worry, I have quick reflexes," Ai Jiangtu said confidently.
"I'll stay behind him and take out the targets in his blind spot," Mu Ningxue said.
Ai Jiangtu and Mu Ningxue led the way. The others quickly followed behind them.
The people of the Mailong Private Military Group followed the ninth team as soon as they set out. They were all moving at a fast pace.
Pss! Pss! Pss! Pss! Pss!
However, just as they were about to escape, the Bone-Eating Spiders that had been hiding on top of the rocks all this time moved.
This time, the spiders were no longer probing. Obviously, they knew that the mercenaries were trying to escape. Thus, the spiders fell from the cliffs, stone walls, and cracks above like black rain, crazily biting the mercenaries who were trying to escape.
"I'll take care of them. You all keep moving!" Mofan knew the spiders would not stay and observe them. He had already fired Air Arrows around him.
