Chapter 116 - God of Evil’s Servants! Spiderhumans!
East of Dragon City, No Retreat Army’s base.
The sky was starting to light up on the horizon, but this large area seemed to have been torn apart into a separate space.
The sky here was extremely dark, looking like paper dipped in black ink.
A pressure that caused people to feel depressed and restless rippled in the air faintly!
Constant screams and a certain type of insect’s shouts also resounded through the darkened streets, rendering it like a ghost domain.
Unfallen City had interacted with No Retreat Army before, so both sides knew the location of each other’s base.
Additionally, Link had also fought together with the No Retreat Army in his previous life. He led Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei to this area very quickly.
But they saw an extremely tragic scene when they had only just reached the place. They could see huge cocoons and dense cobwebs everywhere on the streets.
Five men and women were chased by three monsters that had human bodies but twisted and terrifying heads.
These monsters had six eyes on their heads—which glowed with a faint light—and their wide-open mouths were full of fangs. What’s more, eight long limbs had grown out from the side of the human bodies, causing them to be very fast.
A sound of something cutting through the wind could be heard, and a woman’s head was directly pierced by the monster’s spear-like limb and burst open.
The monster—which was somewhat similar to a spider—retracted its limb, licked the brain matter that remained on it, and uttered hissing and hoarse words. “Delicious… food. I want more food!”
At the same time, another man’s chest was also pierced through by a monster climbing a building!
The monster slowly dragged the man—whose blood was flowing out of his mouth—closer. Its huge mouth then opened like petals, and it directly bit off the man’s head.
After that, the monster pierced the man’s stomach with the sharp bulge that grew from its tail.
The man’s stomach quickly swelled and gave off a green shimmer. It seemed like spider eggs were being injected into the man’s stomach.
A large number of sticky cobwebs flew out from the monster’s mouth, quickly wrapping the man’s body into a giant cocoon. The monster then stuck the giant cocoon to the surface of a building.
The remaining humans—two men and one woman—were scared out of their wits by such a sight.
Another similar monster had also blocked off the path in front of them. Six pairs of terrifying eyes—all glowing with a dim light—stared at them intensely!
The monster’s sharp limbs stabbed at the remaining three humans fiercely!
The three humans’ legs went soft, and they almost fell to the ground, their faces filled with despair!
“No!”
“Ah! I don’t want to die!”
…
Upon seeing this, Link, Luo Xingyao, and Qiao Ruowei didn’t have time to hesitate and think. They instantly reacted.
Golden sword energy suddenly cut through the air, illuminating the street!
Luo Xingyao also raised her bow and arrow. As she raised her slender hand slightly, several arrows whizzed toward the monster with a sharp sound of wind being cut through!
Boom!
Most of the monster’s body and the few limbs—which were extending toward their targets—were directly pulverized by the golden sword energy.
The monster fell to the ground as green liquid gushed out from the broken body. There were many squirming lumps within the green pool of liquid.
These squirming lumps were small spiders crawling in all directions.
The several arrows shot by Luo Xingyao also turned into streams of light that struck another monster’s black-haired body, creating several pits in its body.
The remaining two monsters screamed and gave up on the three humans in front of them. They turned around and pounced at Link and his group!
At the same time, a piece of information entered Link and company’s minds.
[Spiderhuman]
Race: Lower Servant
Level: Stage Three, Level 6
Introduction: Servant of the spider god, Atlas Nakya. They are brutal and cold-blooded and will cause spiritual pollution to people with weak mentalities. They can also induce madness and degeneration.
…
The monsters’ horrible neighs filled their ears, full of distortion and corruption.
After seeing these distorted monsters up close, Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei’s bodies both felt uncomfortable. It was as if their internal organs were also going to distort.
Link’s countenance was still indifferent, and he contacted Yuna with his thoughts.
In the air, Yuna waved her staff quickly.
Accompanied by a soft shout, a holy halo of light suddenly bloomed in this place! “Light, drive away the evil in front of you!”
The golden light was vast and dazzling like a golden ocean as it swept toward the two Spiderhumans.
Both monsters burned with golden holy flames, screamed tragically, and were quickly burned to ashes.
[Ding! Congratulations on killing the God of Evil’s Stage Three servant. Obtained 50,000 EXP!]
[Ding! Congratulations on killing the God of Evil’s Stage Three servant. Obtained 50,000 EXP!]
…
Accompanied by the notification sounds in their ears, Link and his subordinates walked to the three humans’ vicinity.
The three humans consisted of a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and a young man.
The pair of middle-aged humans supported each other, their expressions slightly sluggish. They obviously hadn’t recovered from the fear that they had just received.
After calming down a bit, the two of them let out a sigh of relief. Their faces were full of the joy of escaping an ordeal.
“Thank you! Thank you all!”
The remaining young man seemed to be insane. Seeing Link and the two girls approaching, he crawled backward with his hands and feet as if he saw a nightmare approaching.
The man covered his head with his hands, his body trembling unceasingly. “Don’t come here… Stay away! I don’t want to die! Don’t eat me!”
…
Link noticed something was wrong and immediately ordered, “Yuna, purify them.”
“Yes, Master.” Yuna did not hesitate. She instantly waved her staff, and golden light streamed out.
Upon being touched by the holy light, the young man actually burned with holy flames. His face distorted to an extreme extent as he shouted in pain.
His mouth opened like petals, and many small, green spiders suddenly spurted out like a dense swarm of locusts!
But under the holy light, these spiders were burned to ashes before they even touched Link and the others!
Luo Xingyao and Qiao Ruowei felt chills in their hearts when they saw this scene.
“He has been parasitized, and his body has undergone an irreversible change. Even the holy light’s purifying effects can’t restore him to him normal,” stated Yuna solemnly.
Link nodded slightly and then asked the middle-aged couple, who were supporting each other, about the No Retreat Army’s situation.
The middle-aged couple was very grateful to hear that Link’s group was here to rescue them.
The two hurriedly said, “This place is close to falling to the monsters completely. Earlier, Chief Zhao was still leading the team to fight the monsters and covering everyone so that they could evacuate.”
Under the middle-aged couple’s guidance, Link’s group approached the remnants of the No Retreat Army.
The scene here was even more tragic than the earlier one!
The original defense lines and barriers—built with various materials—had been broken by the Undead army.
The Undead creatures with gleaming green light in their eyes stepped through the breach in the city wall and trampled on human corpses and blood, brandishing their claws and weapons!
The ground was full of limb stumps and pieces of meat. There were also [Doomsday Online] players—whose limbs were severed but had yet to die—shouting in pain in the ruins.
A man, who lost his lower body, was still hugging on to an Evil Bone Beast’s huge foot even to his death. Several meters of his bloody intestines had been dragged out of his body.
Behind them, spider-like monsters covered in black hair were waving about their spear-like limbs.
A cold light flashed, and some people had their heads cut off, while some people’s chests were pierced through.
These spider monsters then devoured the humans’ flesh and blood with their huge mouthparts, or injected their tail bulges into the corpses, laid eggs in them, and wrapped them in spider silk!
The sight was too tragic to view!
