Chapter 331 Sun Mo’s Students Are Really Strong!
After killing these spiders, their travel through the tunnel ahead was smooth-sailing. There were no longer any obstructions.
The spirit qi roaming dragon floated in the air and wagged its tail. This action made it seem as though it was swimming in the lake at a very fast speed.
“What’s that?”
Zeng Gang and the others were dumbfounded.
This creature resembled a large loach, yet it could actually float in the air. What in the world were they witnessing?
Because they weren’t able to identify it, they all knew it was rare. Hence, everyone understood that this creature was surely a valuable one.
“Baiwu, you should support the rear!”
Li Ziqi gave the command.
It wasn’t that she was exceeding her bounds. Rather, Zhang Yanzong had no time to manage this.
The human-faced spiders almost pissed themselves when they saw that these humans didn’t flee but turned and headed to the broodmother’s cave instead. If the broodmother died, their tribe would be destroyed. Hence, they frantically pursued the humans.
Zhang Yanzong and a few others who were responsible for the rear felt an exceedingly great pressure on them.
Ying Baiwu didn’t hesitate. She turned and rushed over while brandishing her bow, infusing her spirit qi into it.
Bzz~
An arrow formed from spirit qi materialized.
Wing King’s Rage!
Swish
A thick arrow whistled out, directly blasting through the crowd of spiders.
Jiji
The spiders screamed. A moment later, their flesh and blood splattered as their limbs were severed.
“What archery technique is that?”
Everyone was dumbfounded. This attack by Ying Baiwu wiped out over ten large spiders and greatly impeded their speed.
The spiders were suffering a calamity. In such a narrow tunnel, they had no way to flee. Hence, every shot by the iron-headed girl achieved a huge effect.
A few minutes later, Xuanyuan Po roared loudly. “We’ve arrived!”
The tunnel ahead suddenly became broad. It was a much larger cave and after they rushed in, they found themselves in a nest that was about half the size of a soccer field.
The place where the broodmother was located would naturally be spacious and comfortable.
There were thick layers of spider silk here, so thick to the extent where they were like carpets. Luckily, they had been here for tens of years and had lost their sticky properties. If not, the students would have been like moths caught by the web.
In the cave, there was a sack made from piled-up furs, and a large spider was lying within.
Its body was as large as an all-terrain vehicle and was covered in various green-colored patterns. When its mouth opened and closed, sharp sword-like teeth could be seen. The most terrifying part was still its head. It had a multitude of compound eyes, but they didn’t glow green like the other spiders. They were malevolent red instead. Also, there was a human-faced picture on top of its head that resembled a beautiful human female in extreme agony. “You guys, block this area. Zhiruo, Tantai, Xu Dingjiang, the three of you come with me!”
Li Ziqi ran over as she stumbled, doing her best to maintain her balance.
When the broodmother saw the human invaders, it let out a ‘jiji’ screech.
“She is jeering at us!” Lu Zhiruo translated. “Xu Dingjiang, Tantai, impede it to buy time for me, please?”
After Li Ziqi spoke, she started to enter meditation and use the spiritual control technique, attempting to form a mental connection with the broodmother and communicate with it.
Rumble!
A wave of mental impact blasted over, directly causing Li Ziqi’s body to tremble. Her head was wrecked by a splitting pain.
“Eldest martial sister!”
Lu Zhiruo supported the little sunny egg. “I’m fine. You should hide at the side.”
Li Ziqi pushed the papaya girl aside and continued to ‘convince’ the broodmother.
(A tiny human actually dared to try and enslave me?) (Hmph, I’m going to drain you of your body fluids and use your skin as my bedding. Even if you die, I won’t let your soul rest in peace.)
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Xu Dingjiang’s arrows hit their targets, but it was useless as the broodmother’s chitin armor was too strong. The arrows basically weren’t able to penetrate them.
rro
“No, I can’t hurt it!”
Xu Dingjiang wanted to despair, he was really trash.
“Two more should go over and help them. Baiwu, you should be one of them!”
Zhang Yanzong found the time to glance over and immediately felt a headache. The broodmother was stronger than what he expected. What should they do?
“Group leader!”
Zeng Gang called out. Because of Ying Baiwu’s long-range suppression, the spiders had no way to surge forward en masse. But if she left, the pressure on the others would instantly spike up.
“Shut up!”
Zhang Yanzong took two steps forward and stood at the front.
At this moment, if they couldn’t handle the broodmother, everyone would die.
Tantai Yutang continued coughing. He suddenly took out a pellet the size of a chicken egg and tossed it at the broodmother.
Jiji
The broodmother laughed mockingly. (The puny human wants to kill me by tossing a stone?)
But at the next moment, it could no longer laugh. The pellet smashed into the floor before the broodmother. With a bang, it was crushed and large amounts of green vapor flowed out, engulfing it.
Bzz«
The broodmother exerted force to protect her abdomen and directly leaped up, dashing over ten meters away.
Bang!
The broodmother landed on the ground. Its abdomen softened and the skin grazed the ground. If it wasn’t for the soft spider silk webbing here, her skin would surely be broken and she would bleed.
“What did you do?”
Xu Dingjiang was astonished. He hurriedly evaded the green miasma that drifted over. “Will this thing injure us too?”
“Naturally. It’s impossible for the miasma to differentiate between friends and foe, right?”
Tantai Yutang felt joyful.
“You are grinning?”
Xu Dingjiang shivered despite not being cold. He felt that this sickly invalid was a mad man. He actually used a poisonous miasma in this enclosed space.
Bang!
The sickly invalid tossed another over and struck the broodmother.
arc
The broodmother got up shakily. This time around, it no longer had the strength to leap and could only crawl away rapidly. Because the miasma emitted by the pellet had numbed its nerves, its body was devoid of strength.
Jiji!
The broodmother screeched. It lifted its head and opened its mouth. Chi-Chi-Chi
Twelve shots of green-colored venom blasted out like shots from a crossbow. However, Tantai Yutang was given ‘special’ care.
Pu!
The venom rapidly melted the spider silk upon coming in contact with the ground. After that, poisonous gas rose, emitting sizzling sounds as the spider silk carpet was corroded.
“Are you not done yet?”
Xu Dingjiang gulped down a mouthful of saliva.
“Don’t disturb her!”
Tantai Yutang warned.
Pu!
Li Ziqi coughed up a mouthful of blood as her face paled.
This type of forceful enslavery would cause a mental backlash to the spellcaster once it failed.
“Group leader, think of other solutions!”
Chu Jian turned his head back and glanced. He wasn’t surprised at such a result.
Broodmothers were intelligent creatures, and their combat and mental strength were both higher than a body-refinement expert like Li Ziqi. How would she be able to enslave a broodmother?
One could say that the Central Province Academy had lost this bet and failed. After failing three times, Li Ziqi gritted her teeth and took out a treasured pearl from her pocket. She bit the tip of her tongue and spat a mouthful of blood on the pearl! Bzz!
The pearl shone with a golden light.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Another blast of venom shot over.
Li Ziqi hurriedly evaded and she started to mutter the spell words. She mustn’t be distracted. If her reading was cut off half-way, this would end in a failure.
“Careful!”
Tantai Yutang suddenly shouted, but it was too late.
Although the broodmother lunged toward Tantai Yutang, this was just a diversion. Spider silk shot out of its butt and landed on Li Ziqi’s robes. The broodmother then began to withdraw the spider silk, reeling its target in.
Swish
Li Ziqi was pulled toward the broodmother.
The broodmother turned and opened its mouth, preparing to bite this human who dared to attempt to enslave it.
At the decisive moment, Tantai Yutang suddenly rushed over with a dagger and quickly cut the spider silk. After that, he heavily slammed into Li Ziqi’s body.
Bang!
Li Ziqi fell and rolled away.
“Tantai?”
Li Ziqi screamed in fear.
The broodmother’s opened mouth turned to the sickly invalid. Its sharp fangs glistened and began piercing toward him.
“Stop screaming. I, Tantai, will not die in such a place!”
Tantai Yutang still hadn’t given up. Just when the mouth of the broodmother was about to bite off his head, it suddenly stiffened as though it was petrified.
The spiders who were rushing over also suddenly stopped.
“What’s going on?”
Chu Jian turned his head. “Could it be that the broodmother discovered its consciousness and decided to spare us?”
“Maybe it’s a vegetarian?”
Xuanyuan Po, who had always been paying attention to the battle, also felt somewhat curious now.
The others weren’t idle enough to give wild guesses. All of them were panting heavily as though their mortal enemy had just arrived.
“Has it been enslaved?”
Li Ziqi had an astonished look on her face as she looked at Lu Zhiruo.
She didn’t consider the papaya girl to have any combat strength. Yet, she actually managed to enslave the broodmother?
One couldn’t help but say that Lu Zhiruo’s luck was really good. The position she was standing in was an overlooked area. Besides, her body was weak and small, causing the broodmother to treat her as a salted fish with zero threat. This was why the papaya girl had time to use the spiritual control technique.
But no one expected that she had succeeded on her first try.
“How did you do it?”
Li Ziqi was curious. Only after trying it herself did she realize how difficult it was to enslave a lifeform with high intelligence.
The backlash had caused a mental impact that almost reduced her to an idiot.
“I did what Teacher taught us and mumbled the spell words when facing it!”
Lu Zhiruo explained.
“Are you sure you have enslaved it?”
Zhang Yanzong questioned.
“Sit!”
The papaya girl gave an order. Putong
The broodmother lay down.
“Eh!”
Lu Zhiruo sweated, thinking that she failed. However, everyone else heaved a sigh of relief and slumped onto the ground limply.
This time, it was really a close brush with death!
“Luckily, the terrain of the cave made the spiders unable to rush us en masse. If not, we wouldn’t be able to delay things to the point where Lu Zhiruo successfully enslaved the broodmother!”
Xu Jialiang felt a lingering fear.
Naturally, the main point was that Xuanyuan Po was truly strong. He stood there with his silver spear and exuded an aura of one man blocking a pass against 10,000 enemies. The performances of Ying Baiwu, Li Ziqi, and even Tantai Yutang also shocked everyone.
Oh right, there was also Lu Zhiruo who had turned the despairing situation around.
In this rescue operation, the performances of others weren’t bad, but when compared to them, they were clearly much inferior. “The students of Sun Mo are all very impressive!”
Zhang Yanzong sighed ruefully. His confident and arrogant heart was impacted.
“What should we do next?”
Lu Zhiruo asked.
“It’s naturally time for us to return in triumph!”
Tantai Yutang chortled.
After enslaving the broodmother, they now had the chance to get first place in this competition. Most probably, those people who looked down on the Central Province Academy would jump in fright, right?
