Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 244 Spider Woman
"Roar!"

Accompanied by strange, hoarse roars, these humanoid monsters surged forward like a tidal wave.

"Attack their hearts first!"

With a low roar, Liang Yuzhi, holding a tower shield in one hand and an enchanted entrenching tool in the other, charged straight in like a bulldozer, still wearing her ordinary clothes!
Even so, the ferocity of her attacks left Li Wei in awe.

Even a player with low health is still a player.

Zhao Xuanxuan followed closely behind, as if Liang Yuzhi had deliberately left the space behind her for Zhao Xuanxuan to fill.

At this moment, she was like a tigress, wielding two iron hammers, swinging them in an orderly and rhythmic manner, each strike hitting its mark. Moreover, she did not use too much brute force, but rather used inertia to accelerate, only making minor adjustments herself. This way, she could conserve more energy while maximizing the effectiveness of her attacks.

Of course, without Liang Yuzhi leading the way with the tower shield, Zhao Xuanxuan's rhythm would definitely have been disrupted.

Li Wei led five free men in a line, and they were responsible for piercing through them with iron spears, quickly crushing them like harvesting crops.

This was not a difficult task for Li Wei. The key was that these five free citizens could not waver in the face of their former neighbors and relatives. In fact, they were indeed affected, but it didn't matter because Li Wei was there to make up for it.

As the five free men gradually got into the zone, their iron spear thrusts becoming perfectly coordinated, their movements powerful and steady, Li Wei retreated to the back, took out his three-star war bow, casually grabbed three hardwood arrows, and prepared to fire, surveying the entire situation.

Wherever there is a mistake, fix it with one arrow.

In addition, he would also focus on helping Zhao Xuanxuan reduce pressure, no, he would create the best attack environment, which means that by actively reducing the number of monsters around her, she could make the attack environment better, and as long as it wasn't too bad, she could get three or five hits in a row.

It's as good as Photoshop.

This is Li Wei's strength and Zhao Xuanxuan's weakness, but it doesn't matter. Combat experience is just a matter of practice, familiarity, and familiarity.

Anyway, the effect was pretty good. Zhao Xuanxuan really got the hang of it. The hammer flew like lightning, making a crisp sound. She herself felt that this was not a battle, but a carefully choreographed dance. She danced gracefully to the rhythm, and the hammer in her hand was as easy to control as an extension of her arm, hitting wherever she pointed!

When the number of monster corpses decreased to a certain level, Li Wei put away his three-star war bow and seized the time to recover his stamina, only carrying a two-star wooden spear and following behind five free people to make up the numbers.

Just as the hundreds of monstrous corpses were about to be annihilated, an even louder roar came from the depths of the cave, accompanied by a huge tremor, as if a colossal creature was approaching.

With the faint light in his peripheral vision, Li Wei saw at a glance a strange giant spider, more than three meters tall and the size of a van, emerging from the depths of the cave ahead.

What's strange is that on the head of this giant spider, half of a human female body has grown out. The two are intertwined, and it's hard to say what kind of ingenious craftsmanship this is. In ancient times there were beautiful snakes, and now there are beautiful spiders.

"Spider Woman? I'm so unlucky!"

Liang Yuzhi, sitting in the front row, muttered to herself as she plunged her enchanted entrenching tool into the chest of the last monster corpse before taking a few steps back, panting heavily.

Li Wei was also quite shocked, but he was not flustered at all. Instead, he immediately stepped forward and stood in the front row with Liang Yuzhi. At this time, they could not rely on anyone else.

He strongly suspected that this was likely a five-star mutated creature.

But at that moment, the half-woman on the giant spider's head suddenly spoke, her voice clear, beautiful, and melodious.

"Sigh, I've already hidden here, why are you still pressing me so hard? This is a cave a hundred meters below the surface. When the radiation storm blows, it has little effect on me. I have no intention of hurting you. Why? Tell me why?"

What?
A mutant creature with such clear logical thinking?
Li Wei's eyes widened, but he dared not relax for a moment. The half-woman's gaze swept over Li Wei and the others, then suddenly landed on Havel, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"Haviel? Is that you? You've finally come back to see me. I've missed you so much."

"Lucia, it's you, it really is you!"

Suddenly, Javier in the back row started crying. It turned out to be an acquaintance. But the next second, Liang Yuzhi suddenly made a lightning-fast move and knocked Javier unconscious with a single slash. At this moment, blood and tears even flowed from Javier's eyes. It was unclear what attack he had been hit by.

"Stop talking nonsense. You were once human, but that's okay. We'll let you rest in peace. Li Wei, do it!"

Liang Yuzhi shouted, but almost at the same time, Li Wei also switched to the Tracker mode, because he also heard the spider woman's call—it was beautiful and melodious.

"Li Wei, is that you? You've finally come back to see me. I've missed you so much."

At that moment, Li Wei's heart suddenly ached terribly, beyond words. He even wanted to speak, as if he remembered everything he and Lucia had done in the valley town—the sweet nothings, the beautiful moments. Now, that beauty was about to reappear—

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, Li Wei felt as if he had been hit on the head with a hammer. Blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he was in a state of chaos, as if he had lost control.

But thankfully, it's very good!
Because Li Wei switched to the Tracker title. Yes, Li Wei understood immediately when Liang Yuzhi deliberately called out his name!

No, he already knew.

Such a bizarre mutated creature, and Liang Yuzhi had even hinted at it to him several times before.

The first thought was that this person was a spellcaster.

The second time was when she muttered that it was a spider demon.

The third time was when Javier was knocked unconscious. Yes, perhaps to others at this moment, these are nothing, just trivial details.

However, as a powerful figure who can cross boundaries, how could Liang Yuzhi possibly say something irrelevant during a battle?

Undoubtedly, when Liang Yuzhi wiped out those more than one hundred flying spiders in the town, she should have already guessed what she was about to face. The reason she didn't say it was because these mutated creatures were intelligent, and even the slightest clue could scare them away.

Li Wei also realized at that time that this might not be a mutated creature like the Rat King or the Giant Crocodile, or even the type of other superhumans.

After all, this isn't a dungeon, so why not lead your men in a charge?
The fact that they have to send them in waves is clearly a deliberate attempt to exhaust their energy.

So when the second wave of monsters appeared, Liang Yuzhi decisively used her shield to tank the damage, while Li Wei immediately retreated to the second line. It seemed that he was creating a better combat environment for Zhao Xuanxuan, but in reality, he was recovering his stamina. As for him shooting hardwood arrows with his three-star war bow, he only needed to draw the bow slightly to finish the job. It was only a distance of a dozen meters, so how much stamina could it consume?

In short, although they didn't want to admit it, Li Wei and Liang Yuzhi had indeed developed a certain tacit understanding.

As for what to do if he doesn't understand Liang Yuzhi?
What else can be done!
If the holder of the Pioneer Card dies, this Pioneer side quest fails, but she still has one last chance to kill the Spider Queen and enjoy the Universal Gold Card.

At this moment, Li Wei was kneeling on the ground. His original 300 stamina points had been reduced to only 180. In other words, even though he switched to the Tracker title and increased his perception by 3, he was still under the control of the Spider Banshee for a full 12 seconds.

As for the others?
They were fighting. Li Wei could hear Liang Yuzhi shouting and giving orders, and he could hear the spider demon's mournful screams. So its skills were similar to a BOSS's targeted attacks.

The mind of the person who is named will be manipulated, their soul will be drained, and they will become a great tonic.

So Li Wei essentially acted as a mental tank in this wave?

Not only does it interrupt the BOSS's spellcasting, it also causes the BOSS to temporarily go berserk.
Once this information surfaced in Li Wei's mind, he had basically recovered. He still had 4 points of mental energy left, enough to handle a battle!
It's worth noting that his "Tracker" title has automatically switched off, which seems to be some kind of defense mechanism?
"Oh!"

A tremendous crash resounded, accompanied by the sickening sound of metal cutting. Li Wei was finally able to see clearly.

Liang Yuzhi's tower shield was actually pierced by one of the giant spider's special segments.

What material are these arthropods made of?!
Even Liang Yuzhi's thigh was pierced with a hole.

But then she started screaming!

"Hammer! Hammer!"

Before she finished speaking, Zhao Xuanxuan appeared in a flash, leaping high into the air and wielding an iron hammer, delivering a heavy blow to the joint of the spider's leg.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the strange limb split in two, and Liang Yuzhi screamed as she was thrown away due to the continuous damage.

Almost simultaneously, the spider demon let out an even more agonizing, piercing, and eerie howl.

Santiago and another free man tried to rush over and stab it to death. They chose a good time, but the howl was something no normal person could withstand; it was like a mental shock.

In an instant, the two of them painfully threw away their iron spears, clutching their heads and rolling around on the ground.

Even Zhao Xuanxuan couldn't bear it. She threw down the hammer, covered her ears, and bled from all seven orifices, suffering excruciating pain.

Meanwhile, the giant spider began to flee rapidly into the deeper parts of the cave, as if the severed limb was extremely important to it, and that it had lost its foundation after the break.

Li Wei was a little further away and was less affected by the spider demon's howling, but even so, his mind went blank for a moment, and the 4 points of mental energy he had left were directly consumed by 1 point.

But what was left was enough. Stumbling to his feet, he changed into the title of "Dog Slayer" and chased after her, his steps uneven. For the first few seconds, he seemed drunk, but he quickly returned to normal, casually drawing his Bloodthirsty Spear and increasing his speed. Just as he was about to lock onto the spider demon, the spider demon suddenly turned around and howled at Li Wei again.

In an instant, Li Wei was in a daze, and a bit of his mental energy was depleted. But he still had 2 points left. He endured the severe headache and the nausea churning in his body. In the next second, he still completed the throwing of the Bloodthirsty Spear with the most determined and standard posture!
"puff!"

The bloodthirsty spear easily pierced the spider banshee's abdomen.

That's right, not the head, not the heart, but the abdomen, at the interface with the giant spider.

That is its second life core.

All of the above is an illusion.

As for its first life core, it is of course that very special, indestructible, and even strange segmented limb that can easily penetrate tower shields!

After throwing the spear, Li Wei was almost exhausted, having expended too much energy. In particular, the spider demon's howl was like a mental shock, extremely vicious.

Fortunately, the next second, the giant spider's corpse turned into wisps of black smoke and quickly dissipated, leaving behind a radiant, cloud-like all-purpose gold card.

The quality is slightly inferior to that five-star ability user in the underground base, because he only has two life cores.

But it’s not bad.
