Chapter 420
Chapter 420 Spider Cave
Whoosh.
Wicked winds blew wildly.
A skinny and withered figure jumped down from the canopy, only to have its head grabbed by Greem’s burning hand.
Greem took a look at the creature by the light from the flickering flames. He instantly understood the nature of the being.
It was a semi-undead!
It was a mummy that had been lying dormant within a cocoon for numerous years. Its body was desiccated and withered, its abdomen caved inwards and what hair it had left was the color of straw. Spiders climbed in and out of its empty eye sockets, nose, and mouth.
An enemy had arrived!
Tula didn’t even need to see for itself. Already, the terrifying silhouette of the Flame Fiend appeared in its mind.
These accursed adepts! They wouldn’t even give it a chance to take a breath. How dare they recklessly break into this Spider Cave that it had managed for hundreds of years.
Hmph! The Magma Hall was your home field. You burned all the cannon fodder I threw at you there. However, this Spider Cave is my territory. Since you dared to approach this place, I will let you die here!
Tula’s eight hairy spider legs shook the spiderweb beneath it with a certain rhythm as it cursed internally. Several messages were sent in every direction without any sound. The various strange creatures hiding in obscure corners of the spider den started moving.
A small tear appeared in the giant white cocoon in the corner of this hidden cave. Dana’s pretty face was visible as she let out a sorrowful and angered scream.
However, the tear on the cocoon was quickly sealed by Tula the next second.
Tula dragged its severely wounded body and walked over to the cocoon. It produced fine threads from its abdominal sac, then used its eight legs to slowly turn the cocoon and wrapped another layer of webbing on the outside of the cocoon.
“Stop resisting. The eggs have been implanted in your body. In just another seventeen hours, my newest children will hatch inside you. It is a great honor to become the food and host of my children. Then, they will simultaneously possess the innate talents of magical spiders and medusas. They will become my most reliable subordinates.”
The distinct laughter of spider-like creatures rang throughout the sinister cave. Mixed within the laughter was Dana’s muffled howls of agony.
…………
The dark shadows extended all the way forward. The narrow roads wound about here and there, and not a single trace of light shone in this place.
However, as Greem continued forward, the darkness was dispelled. The blazing fires illuminated everything.
Greem had thrown out two golem summoning cores after he entered the spider den, summoning the Roaring Monster and the Decayer. The Roaring Monster stood at the forefront; its tall stone body made it the perfect meat shield to lead the way. The Decayer followed in the rear. Its silent movement hid its presence from most other creatures.
The golems were protecting Greem and Unguja in the middle. They swiftly and unhesitatingly ventured their way toward the depths of the underground.
There were winding paths and forked roads everywhere. Without an experienced guide, a newcomer would never be able to find the correct way in this labyrinth.
Strangely enough, Greem seemed to know everything about this spider den. He made his way towards Tula’s lair picking the shortest routes without any mistakes.
This ability undoubtedly frightened Tula, who was hiding deep underground. It could only send out the mutated army of spiders it had been hiding in reserve.
“Enemies have arrived.” Greem reminded softly.
The Roaring Monster held its footsteps. It plunged both of its hands into the dirt below and quickly created a colossal stone sword for itself. The sword was large, heavy, and filled with rough and uneven stone spikes! It was the perfect weapon for an overbearing monster like itself.
The chittering sound from the other end of the tunnel hadn’t ceased. Greem threw a fireball in that direction and immediately illuminated the flood of odd spider magical creatures.
The next second, a storm of shadow arrows, acid balls, bone spikes, and spiderwebs shot at the party.
The Roaring Monster used its massive body to block over eighty percent of the attacks. It then swung its large sword and charged forward, roaring as it did so. There was no space for it to rampage in this narrow tunnel. That was why the Roaring Monster injected a significant amount of earth elementium into the stone sword in its hands every so often.
The stone sword would split apart to shoot out hundreds of stone spikes, surrounding everything in front in a barrage of stone spikes.
It didn’t matter whether the stone spikes impaled the enemies’ heads or abdomens; these attacks were lethal to all the creatures within the radius of the stone spikes. Most of the time, these mutated spider creatures weren’t even as big as the stone spikes being fired at them!
