Chapter 1114: The Attack Begins
Fang Bai and his three companions were originally only a dozen yards away from Han Xingyu and the others, close enough to support each other, but now they were separated by dozens of Scarlet Poison Spiders. It was as if they were separated by an insurmountable chasm. Seeing this, the couple Hu Ren and his wife felt even more desperate.The bodies of the Scarlet Poison Spiders naturally emitted an invisible toxin. At the moment, countless Scarlet Poison Spiders gathered together, and the invisible toxin they emitted spread through the air. Some of the weaker Heaven Level Martial Artists had already started to experience dizziness, incessant vomiting, and other symptoms.
Other Martial Artists began to circulate their True Yuan and formed Defense Qi Shields around their bodies to prevent the surrounding toxins from invading.
However, at this rate, their True Yuan would eventually be depleted. At that time, the Scarlet Poison Spiders wouldn’t even need to attack; the Martial Artists would be trapped to death.
Everyone at the scene, apart from Fang Bai, was silently bemoaning their fate.
"That Spider Queen must be nearly a thousand years old; it’s almost a High Rank Spirit Beast..." Tsk, tsk, if I could get its Spirit Core, I could exchange it for a lot of Cultivation Resources!"he Nine Revolutions Rebirth Pill because of his son’s injury. Now, he was financially embarrassed, left without a single medium-grade elixir.
"Brother Bai, given the current situation, it’s very unlikely that the three of us will be able to leave alive, while you might have a chance. So... please take the elixirs back. We don’t want to waste them. For the kindness you have shown my son Yi’er, I can only repay you in the next life."
Hu Ren looked around at the Scarlet Poison Spiders, his face filled with sorrow as he attempted to return the elixirs to Fang Bai.
Fang Bai chuckled and said, "Just a bunch of Poisonous Spiders can’t take our lives! Keep the elixirs and do as I just told you!"
He paused, then flipped his hand and took out a jade pendant, hanging it around Hu Yi’s neck. He turned to a puzzled Hu Ren and said, "This jade pendant is a Spiritual Artifact. It contains several killing intents, and it can protect your son’s life at critical moments!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a shrill, agonizing scream was heard not far away.
Looking intently, it turned out to be an Individual Cultivation Martial Artist at the Heaven Level Realm who had been suddenly struck by a Scarlet Poison Spider’s venomous silk, breaking through his Protective True Essence and landing on his left forearm. The venomous silk was extraordinarily toxic. In just a few breaths, it corroded the Martial Artist’s left forearm and the poison quickly spread upwards. Seeing this, a companion next to the injured Martial Artist had no choice but to cut off his entire right arm with a swing of a sword.
At the same time, several more screams were heard from other Martial Artists who had also been wounded by the poisonous spiders’ venomous silk.
Clearly, the Scarlet Poison Spiders had begun their attack, intending to turn these dozens of human Martial Artists into their feast.
True Yuan surged, sword light flashed, and shouts of fury filled the air as the counterattack from the dozens of Martial Artists officially began.
Though more than half of the surrounded Martial Artists were Desolate Level Martial Artists, and there were even Vast Level Martial Artists like Han Xingyu, every single Scarlet Poison Spider possessed the attack strength equivalent to an early-stage Desolate Level Martial Artist and had an absolute advantage in numbers. Thus, after a brief exchange, casualties among the Martial Artists started to occur, and the others were gradually forced into an even smaller area.
Among the human Martial Artists, there were a few who wielded Spiritual Artifacts as well—though low-grade, these weapons were extremely sharp, easily piercing the sturdy exoskeleton of the Scarlet Poison Spiders, cleaving them in two, and bringing them to their demise.
The deaths of their kin incited an even more ferocious attack from the Scarlet Poison Spiders, their venomous silk, toxic liquids, and eight knife-sharp long limbs all becoming deadly weapons in their assault.
Over by Fang Bai’s side, the Scarlet Poison Spiders also began their assault.
