Green Monster Epic

Chapter 223: Void Spider (Second Update!)

“Whoosh!!”

A siege hammer swept over Allen and Salu's heads, drawing a long arc. Taking advantage of the brief gap as the siege hammer flew past, Allen and Salu quickly scrambled up from the ground and frantically sprinted forward into the passage. Just as they ran past, the siege hammer that had drawn the arc flew back again, bringing a huge gust of wind that made Allen's back feel cold.

In the maze, not only did they have to be wary of monsters that might pop out from anywhere, but they also had to be careful of the floor beneath their feet, or the walls on both sides. Countless traps could be triggered unpredictably, delivering a fatal blow to intruders.

“Thwack!!”

A white ribbon suddenly blocked Salu's path. Salu nimbly twisted his waist, and the dagger in his hand swung out mercilessly. He thought he could easily cut open the ribbon blocking his way, but the sharp blade only stirred up a ripple on the ribbon, making a "ding" sound like plucking a stringed instrument.

“Huh?”

Surprised, Salu pressed his fingers against the ribbon to carefully examine its material.

Allen's eyesight was better than Salu's. He discovered that in the passage ahead, more of these ribbons filled the upper and lower parts of the passage, just like a giant net gradually opening.

“What is this thing? It feels so familiar?”

Don't think that Salu is a relatively experienced adventurer. This trip to the maze has also opened his eyes. Many monsters that he had never seen before charged out, and all kinds of mysterious talent abilities made Salu suffer a lot. Like now, this white ribbon material made Salu feel curious.

Allen didn't answer. His powerful wild intuition made him feel that the air was gradually becoming heavy, as if after Salu swung his sword and cut the ribbon, making that pleasant sound effect, the surrounding space became somewhat heavy.

He held the heavy sword vertically, which could be used as a shield to block the danger in front, and at the same time, he could see the attacks coming from behind through the blurred reflection on the blade.

Salu also felt the different atmosphere in the air. The curiosity in his eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by a cold and cautious killing intent. He slowly retreated into the shadows, and his figure suddenly blurred until he disappeared without a trace.

In the air, without any support, several translucent cracks suddenly appeared as if they were solid. A slender leg with fine fluff and black and white stripes popped out, gently hooking onto the stone wall not far away. The cracks became larger and larger, revealing a deep and quiet black background, and a spider with a slender body of nearly 2 meters, dragging a mismatched big belly, slowly crawled out.

Allen didn't realize at all that a 7-meter-high ceiling had an opponent that could assassinate him at any time.

“Poof!!”

The spider's large abdomen tail pointed at Allen. Before Allen could notice the movement, there was a slight puff of air. A ball of white liquid exploded above Allen's head, and as it quickly fell, it was also rapidly expanding. When the white substance was about to fall on Allen's head, a dense and complete spider web like a fishing net was cast over Allen's head.

“Dodge quickly!!!”

Salu couldn't care about his stealth effect and issued a warning to Allen from afar. But what he didn't know was that another spider had just made the same movement as the spider above Allen's head, covering Salu, who thought he was hidden in the void.

“Hey!!”

Hearing the warning, Allen not only didn't dodge but instead slashed upwards with his sword. Sensing the direction from which the attack might come, he instinctively swung a fierce sword.

A dull and soft touch came from the blade. More and more spider silk was cut into a ball, but not a single strand was cut off by Allen. However, this had already broken the source of the attack, and only then did Allen see the true face of the attacker.

On the other side, Salu stumbled out of the spider web, with several red marks left on his face by the spider web. If he hadn't activated Shadow Leap in time, and if the spider web itself didn't have the power of magic to interfere, Salu would have already become the prey in the hands of the spider above his head.

“Good家伙, this is a Void Spider, we're rich!!!”

Salu also saw the appearance of the spider behind him. After seeing the strange scene of the spider's appearance before, and seeing the real appearance of the assassin, Salu excitedly exclaimed.

“The Void Spider's two front claws can tear space. You must not let it wave them at your body. Any non-magical defense has no good effect on it.”

Although Allen heard Salu's cheers, his emotions were completely unaffected when he entered the battle state. His eyes were coldly and calmly staring at the spider above his head.

“Poof!!”

The spider condescendingly shot out a spider silk ball again. Allen stomped **** on the ground with both feet. Like the black ape he had encountered before, he shot directly to the side wall of the passage, dodging the spider web's interception. Then Allen's right leg stomped again, leaving a clear footprint on the side wall. At the same time, Allen's figure rose again, this time rushing towards the location of the Void Spider.

It was just that before Allen could shoot towards the opponent's position, the Void Spider's body was like when it appeared, as its two slender and sharp front claws slashed in the air, and the space was torn open by it, allowing it to pass through.

“Clang!!”

The heavy sword directly slashed on the empty ceiling, leaving a deep sword mark. At the same time, Allen's body also fell freely. When Allen stood up again and looked up, the Void Spider reappeared on the ceiling, and that fat tail pointed at Allen again, shooting out its seemingly endless spider silk.

Allen stepped on the wall to move and transfer. Every attack turned into a bubble under the opponent's talent ability to escape into the void. Several close-quarters battles were only because of Salu's previous reminder. He only dared to use the heavy sword in his hand to face the spider's front claws head-on, and did not dare to use his body to contain the opponent and create a chance to counter-kill.

Salu on the other side was also equally embarrassed. He had already used Shadow Leap once to escape, and just now he used it again, dodging the Void Spider's inevitable spider web cage. The spider webs that fell on the ground were also a trouble. The more spider webs fell on the ground, the more it affected Salu's footwork. Salu was stronger than Allen in agility, but the spider web had extremely strong stickiness. If he wasn't careful and stepped on it, although it couldn't directly stick Salu, it would still greatly affect Salu's footwork.

He didn't have Allen's brute force. The stickiness on the spider silk was not effective at all in front of Allen's strength, and it didn't affect Allen's repeated leaps.

This was the most frustrating battle for the two since entering the maze. The biggest means of attacking the enemy for Void Spiders was their strong spider webs and their front claws that could easily tear space. But other than that, they didn't have any strange ways to injure the enemy. They didn't have strong power or flexible footwork, so the pressure they brought to Allen and them was really small.

However, their life-saving skills could be called god-level. With Allen and Salu having no skills to tear space at all, as long as they encountered danger and drilled into the void, Allen and them could only grab at the air.
