Chapter 680 - Strange Spiders
GDK 680: Strange Spiders
The Demon Mountain eerily resembled a malevolent demon from a distance – identical to the descriptions recorded on Akley’s scroll. As long as the divine essence mine was inside the Demon Mountain, Han Shuo believed that metal elite zombie would be able to locate it and extract all its precious crystals.
After getting Han Shuo’s approval, earth elite zombie and metal elite zombie proceeded further. It was now metal elite zombie’s turn to pave the way. The hard rock above their heads would turn as loose as sand, posing not the slightest resistance to the duo, allowing them a gradual ascent up the Demon Mountain.
Metal elite zombie’s body sparkled with glorious golden rays as soon as he entered the Demon Mountain. They were like golden threads that spread in all directions before disappearing into the solid rock.
Soon enough, metal elite zombie reported back to Han Shuo, “Father, there are all kinds of ores in this mountain. Which type are you looking for?”
Han Shuo first praised metal elite zombie before describing to him, “The ores that I want contain energy similar to those on Little Water and Little Fire. Carefully sense your surrounding and see if there’s any.”
Divine essence mines were extremely unique. Although there were divine essences containing divine energies of all assortments in divine essence mines, they were undetectable to the probing using the soul. Not even mighty gods could detect anything from the outside. This, however, would not be a problem to metal elite zombie. As long as there were ores, metal elite zombie would be able to find and detect the energy contained within.
“Father, I did not sense any ore that contains energy similar to Little Water and Little Fire. There isn’t a piece of ore of that kind inside the mountain!” metal elite zombie kept silent for some time before he reported to Han Shuo.
“Not one?” Han Shuo was stunned. He was thinking if they got the wrong location or perhaps someone else had extracted the ores.
Han Shuo turned pale with fright. In fact, through the mystical demons on metal elite zombie’s body, he saw the thing that made Cauldron Spirit so alarmed.
At the center of the mountain was a very spacious cave which took about a quarter of the mountain’s volume. An enormous spider web occupied the cave. On top of the spider web was an enormous spider with a body of thirty meters in length and sharp legs that stretched ten meters. The spider had a human face of a beautiful female. Its long eyelashes were gently fluttering as though it was waking up from a sweet dream.
Right below her was a relatively large black colored divine essence deposit. She seemed to be absorbing the divine energy of darkness contained within and therefore did not give off any aura.
As her eyelashes moved, up and down, a gush of extremely terrifying energy of darkness emanated from her body. Even though separated by such a distance, Han Shuo could feel the terrifying pressure from outside the mountain range!
Meanwhile, at this moment, metal elite zombie had his eyes fixed on the darkness divine essence deposit under her. He was preparing to collect it for Han Shuo and seemed to be unaware that he was facing a terrifying creature that was awakening.
“Return! Quickly return!” Han Shuo commanded metal elite zombie, yelling vigorously. Perhaps he was too shocked – as he transmitted the message with his consciousness, he was shouting out loud with his mouth.
“Bryan, what’s wrong?” Akley questioned.
“Father, there’s one last piece. Let me take that before leaving!” metal elite zombie wished to complete the task Han Shuo assigned to him to perfection.
“Ignore that goddamn divine essence, come back here! Immediately! “ Han Shuo shouted. It was so loud that it jolted Akley again.
“Bryan, are you mad? Have you forgotten what we are here for?” Akley stepped forward as though thinking that Han Shuo wasn’t in his right mind and wanting to help him recover.
“Fuck off!” But before Akley could get close, Han Shuo threw a kick and sent Akley crashing onto the wall behind him.
“The hell are you doing?” Akley was enraged. He stood up while resisting the pain and shouted at Han Shuo, “Do you intend to keep all the spoils to yourself?”
Han Shuo had no time for Akley and placed all his attention on metal elite zombie. After hearing Han Shuo’s command, metal elite zombie recognized how pressing Han Shuo was. He took one last look at the black divine essence deposit before immediately retreating to the path he came from.
Soon after metal elite zombie started returning, that enormous spider with a human face was finally fully awake from her slumber. A wave of terrifying energy of darkness suddenly burst out from her body. It passed through the spider web beneath her and spread throughout the mountain.
“Brazen creature, how dare you steal from me, Rose!” the piercing voice of the enormous human-faced spider spread far and wide and reverberated through most of the mountain range.
“Ah!!! “ metal elite zombie, who had yet to exit the Demon Mountain, cried out loudly when a wave of divine energy of darkness struck him.
“Tell him to ignore everything and return as quickly as possible! I will sacrifice a few demon generals to protect him!” Cauldron Spirit hastily transmitted.
“It’s Rose! The spider goddess Rose! It’s actually her!” Han Shuo, who heard the human-faced spider’s furious shriek, mumbled to himself in astonishment.
