Chapter 210: Otherworld (II)
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The human team reacted and launched their counterattack against the giant steel-spear spiders.
However, it seemed as if a single giant steel-spear spider had taken the initiative to allow itself to be surrounded by the team. Swords, machetes, and bayonets struck the giant steel-spear spider’s body.
At the same level, its eight steel spear-like legs wrapped around its body and turned into a layer of protective armor. It was not affected at all by the weak attacks.
Immediately after, taking advantage of the gap in its opponents’ attacks, it opened up its body. Its eight spear-like legs and two poisonous fangs stabbed towards one member of the human team.
The team members at the side wanted to help, but they were instantly attacked by the other giant steel spear spiders.
In the blink of an eye, the human team was separated, and each person had to face several giant steel-spear spiders of the same level.
At the same time, at the warrior realm, the giant steel-spear spiders who had mastered the transformation of internal force could unleash their terrifying lethality.
During the gaps between the attacks of their eight spear-like legs, poisonous internal force could be shot out from its fangs. Patches of green fog spread out, melting the humans at the disciple realm upon contact.
For human experts of the same level, it was already dangerous enough for them to block the eight spear-like legs that were strengthened with internal force when fighting one on one. They could not take care of the other team members at all.
The martial arts experts on the human side could only suppress their anger and hold back the giant steel-spear spiders as much as they could.
However, soon, more giant steel-spear spiders of the same level participated in the siege. From one on one, it gradually became one against many.
The battle had only lasted for a few minutes, but many human teams had already been wiped out. It seemed like it was impossible to break out of the encirclement.
“Beast, you’re courting death!”
A shout suddenly came from the horizon.
The voice was like rolling thunder, instantly making all the giant steel-spear spiders stop as though someone had pressed the pause button on them.
The human reinforcements at the peak of the warrior realm had arrived.
The person who had arrived was a city guardian who had received the news that the masked man and the spider emperors had started a war. He had been temporarily mobilized from a large city in the south by one of the three big shots of Jiangnan city.
Unfortunately, he did not expect the spider emperors to be so weak. He had arrived a little too late to fight with them.
“Hss hss hss!”
Without the spider emperors holding down the fort, the giant steel-spear spiders naturally did not dare to make an enemy out of someone of this level. They dug through the soil and hid underground again.
The sea of spiders that had covered more than 10 kilometers disappeared in the blink of an eye.
These giant steel-spear spiders had originally meant to escape. The humans’ military troops just happened to be blocking their escape route, so they were attacked.
The humans had also miscalculated the number of giant steel-spear spiders in the catacombs. In just a few minutes, more than half of them had died. If the reinforcements had been a few minutes later, no one would have survived the attack from the sea of spiders.
Soon, the news that the humans had suffered heavy losses was passed on.
A total of more than 10,000 people had died, and countless military supplies had been destroyed. This shocked the three big shots of Jiangnan city.
However, the problem with the catacombs was far from over.
Without a source of food from the otherworld across the space-travel passage, the giant steel-spear spiders naturally would not gather again. Instead, they spread to the entire southern city.
Due to the high cost of fighter jets in the sky, humans were at a complete disadvantage when fighting against flying creatures. As for the area under the ground, humans had never tried to conquer it.
The giant steel-spear spiders, which could move underground, were about to start a war that would sweep through the southern cities of Jiangnan province in order to obtain food.
…
Chen Yiming and Ye Yisha stepped into the spatial rift and the space around them changed.
In the next moment, they felt as if their feet were back on solid ground, and their bodies had become 10 times their original weight.
Chen Yiming only felt a little uncomfortable and his strong body easily withstood the additional pressure. However, Ye Yisha’s lower limbs went limp and she fell to the ground.
In the otherworld, the gravity that living creatures felt was completely different from on the blue planet. It was about 10 times stronger.
Here, those in the disciple realm were no different from the ordinary people on the blue planet. They were at the bottom of the food chain and were the food for all the other powerful creatures.
This was his first time stepping into the otherworld, so Chen Yiming tensed up to deal with any possible attacks.
As far as the eye could see, there was a forest formed by towering trees. These trees were all more than 100 meters tall.
Around him was a pile of rocks. Rocks more than 10 to 20 meters tall could be seen everywhere, completely hiding the spatial rift.
Through the gaps in the forest, one could vaguely make out a lake several kilometers away. However, the lake was so large that one could barely see the edge.
If not for the fact that there was a huge mountain on the other side, Chen Yiming would have mistaken it for the sea.
In the distant sky, a few flying creatures were circling around. As they were too far away, Chen Yiming couldn’t determine their exact size.
After confirming that there was no ambush waiting for them, Chen Yiming finally checked on Ye Yisha.
“It hurts!”
After Chen Yiming pulled Ye Yisha up, she patted the dust off her bottom and suddenly gritted her teeth.
Chen Yiming glanced at the bouncing action before looking away again.
“I think I pulled a muscle down there,”
Ye Yisha whispered with a red face.
The disciple realm could only barely withstand the additional burden of 10 times the gravity, and this required special training.
She had made too big of a movement just now, and she had pulled a muscle in her bottom.
“Try applying the special dew from the sea of flowers.”
Chen Yiming had the Level-2 Undying Body talent and had never thought about how to deal with injuries. Hence, he gave a random suggestion.
“It feels warm. It seems to be effective.”
Soon, Ye Yisha, who had a wet patch on her bottom, turned her front towards Chen Yiming to hide her embarrassment.
Chen Yiming wasn’t concerned. His attention was completely focused on the changes in his body.
After a short while, he discovered that the speed at which he accumulated Skill Points had doubled. From about 100 Skill Points per month on the blue planet, it increased to about 300 to 500 Skill Points per month.
As for how much it could increase, he still needed to test it himself. At the moment, he could only get a rough idea.
This meant that the effectiveness of cultivating martial arts in the otherworld would also increase exponentially. This was because the increase in Skill Points was dependent on his cultivation over time.
In other words, as long as he cultivated in the otherworld for a month, he would be able to accumulate more Skill Points than what he needed for his Level-3 swordsmanship talent.
“Try listening and see what you can hear,” Chen Yiming asked.
Ye Yisha knew that the other party had brought her along for a reason, so she quickly put aside her embarrassment and carefully listened.
She was also very curious about whether her special ability was any different from that on the blue planet.
As her long elf-like ears trembled, the vibrations that ordinary people could not understand were received by her ears and converted into information that Ye Yisha could understand.
This time, the listening state lasted for about a minute, much longer than usual.
“I can only hear the vibrations up to 10 kilometers away. Any further and there is an unknown disturbance,” Ye Yisha took a deep breath and stammered.
On the blue planet, she could hear abnormal vibrations from hundreds of kilometers away. In the otherworld, the distance was greatly shortened, and her special ability instantly became useless.
Hearing this, Chen Yiming was a little disappointed.
However, it was understandable. He felt that in the otherworld, unlike on the blue planet, there was not as much life between the sky and the earth. At the same time, there was a kind of pressure on them.
For example, mobilizing internal force was more difficult than on the blue planet, but this additional burden would in turn make the tempering of the body more effective.
In addition, the power of his internal force was also suppressed. Even though Chen Yiming hadn’t tested it himself, he could still sense that the range of damage was reduced by at least 10 times at the same level.
When he thought about how human technological weapons could not be used in the otherworld, it could be seen that the rules of the otherworld were definitely different from those on the blue planet.
On the other hand, Ye Yisha was only at the disciple realm, so it was not surprising that her special ability was greatly suppressed.
