Chapter 300 - 300 Using All of His Trump Cards
300 Using All of His Trump Cards
The giant spider was called a Pit Spider, and it was one of the more powerful demonic spider-type beasts.
The strength of each spider in the group was also different. Most of them ranged from the peak of Rank 5 to early Rank 7.
The giant Pit Spider in front of them was an intermediate Rank 6, which was considered the average strength in the group.
However, a rank that both of them would not be afraid of on normal days was the last straw that broke the camel’s back at this moment.
They already had trouble dealing with the Gray Howler, which was at the peak of Rank 6. At this point, even a single Rank 5 beast would be enough to throw them into a mess.
Not to mention, the Pit Spider in front of them had already reached intermediate Rank 6. It was comparable to a peak six-star human cultivator.
“I didn’t expect there to be a Rank 6 beast among the demonic beasts that appeared from the spatial crack this time. This is going to be a little tricky…”
Lone Wolf frowned slightly and did not know what to do.
Bald Eagle finally understood the reason why the Gray Howler had fled the moment it saw the two of them. It was to lure them to a location farther away from Lushui County.
After the Pit Spider came out of the pit, the Gray Howler had swiftly escaped to the bottom. To avoid detection, they could no longer move.
The two of them had fallen into the Gray Howler’s trap precisely because they had been too eager to kill it.
They did not expect that a beast with low spirit intelligence would come up with such a strategy. Besides, the two of them walked right into it, which really made them feel ashamed.
As captains of the special forces, they had been through hundreds of battles and destroyed many rebel organizations, finding many spies.
However, due to their carelessness, they had fallen into the beast’s trap, making the already bad situation worse.
Just as Bald Eagle was thinking about how to deal with the current situation, Lone Wolf suddenly spoke.
“I have a phobia of insects. You deal with the big spider, and I’ll deal with the Gray Howler.”
Lone Wolf’s face was heavy as he ordered in a low voice.
What a joke. How could Lone Wolf, who had killed countless enemies and criminals, be afraid of insects?
Bald Eagle did not need to think to know what Lone Wolf’s goal was. He wanted him to deal with the weaker enemies.
However, with the Gray Howler’s strength, it would be impossible for Lone Wolf to match it even if he was at his peak, much less now that his leg was injured and the spirit energy in his body was seriously depleted. Even self-protection was a problem.
He hesitated and was just about to say that the two of them should work together, but by then, the Gray Howler and Pit Spider already charged over to kill them.
The two of them immediately spread out without hesitation.
The monsters’ huge fists and steel blade-like claws instantly destroyed the ground into a mess.
Immediately after, a life-and-death chase was staged on the plain.
Although the two of them tried to work together many times, they were quickly separated by the Gray Howler and the Pit Spider. After a few times, not only did the two of them consume their spirit energy, but they also did not have the slightest success.
In contrast, the attacks of the two fierce beasts became more and more intense. The two of them were gradually overwhelmed and were now in danger.
Helpless, Bald Eagle had no choice but to follow Lone Wolf’s previous request. He began to focus on dealing with the Pit Spider.
Although he could not win easily now, he still had the ability to fight with the Spirit Wave Sword.
However, it was difficult for Lone Wolf to find an opportunity to attack the lightning-fast Gray Howler by relying on the Spirit Wave Sword, which had an attack range of less than two meters.
After all, he could not trade injury for injury with the fierce beast. If he used the Spirit Wave Sword to counterattack, he would at most cut off one of his enemy’s arms, but the follow-up attack would be enough to kill him.
Even though they were at the peak of physical fitness as humans, compared to those ferocious beasts, they did not have any advantage.
Even an ordinary Rank 5 monster’s muscles and bones were tougher than theirs.
Therefore, in the face of the beast’s offense, the two could not find a good opportunity to attack and could only retreat.
Bang!
Bald Eagle’s figure flashed as he flew into the air, relying on the temporary upward force to avoid the Pit Spider’s attack. He turned his cannon’s muzzle and directly fired at the pursuing beast on the ground.
The explosion of the energy bomb brought about a violent explosion. The surrounding trees kept shaking, and a few of them even broke.
The enormous power and momentum sent the Pit Spider flying a few meters away, but it did not cause any obvious damage.
A translucent spirit energy shield kept rippling around the Pit Spider.
It easily blocked Bald Eagle’s attack. It was only in a sorry state, but it did not suffer any injuries.
In terms of defensive ability, the Pit Spider’s spirit energy shield was not inferior to the Silver Soul-chasing Wolf’s, so it was obviously impossible to kill the spider from a long distance.
The Magic Crystal Cannon did not work. In fact, Bald Eagle had already expected it. After all, not all weapons were as powerful as the Spirit Wave Sword.
Putting away the Magic Crystal Cannon, Bald Eagle began to counterattack with the Spirit Wave Sword.
It was a pity that the Pit Spider’s eight legs were fast, and it was difficult for him to attack it in a head-on situation.
However, the beast’s legs, which were as sharp as blades, kept stabbing at Bald Eagle, forcing him to move. The battle gradually intensified.
No, the current situation was clearly in favor of the two ferocious beasts. Neither Bald Eagle nor Lone Wolf could escape their attackers.
“I can’t wait any longer!”
Bald Eagle quickly retreated and barely dodged a spider silk attack. His breathing was rapid, and the spirit energy in his body was almost exhausted.
Seeing that he was about to lose the chance to counterattack, Bald Eagle could only place himself in danger and hope that he could use his last trump card to break the stalemate and buy time for the two of them.
Seeing the Pit Spider charge at him once again, Bald Eagle did not dodge. Instead, he charged straight at its blade-like claws.
When the Pit Spider saw this, it immediately let out a sharp screech and charged forward, full of excitement. It raised its sharp black claws, ready to pierce the chest of the slippery human before it.
On the other side, Lone Wolf had seemingly sensed something. He immediately forced the Gray Howler back and took the time to look around.
Seeing that Bald Eagle’s body was about to be pierced by the Pit Spider’s claws, Lone Wolf’s pupils shrank!
Ding! Ding!
The sound of metal clashing rang out. The Pit Spider’s claws pierced through Bald Eagle’s military uniform, but they could not penetrate it in the slightest. It was as if Bald Eagle’s chest was not made of flesh and blood but made of tungsten steel.
Just as the Pit Spider’s multiple eyes revealed its surprise, a bone-piercing chill suddenly emerged from Bald Eagle’s chest.
The sharp drop in temperature and the white cold current flowed along the spider’s black claws at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning the huge Pit Spider into an ice sculpture.
The Gray Howler, which was not far away, also sensed the sudden change. For a moment, it delayed its attack, giving Lone Wolf, who could not take it any longer, a chance to catch his breath.
Bald Eagle noticed that the menacing Pit Spider had already turned into an ice sculpture. He immediately used his spirit energy and rushed toward Lone Wolf like lightning.
This was because he knew that the Epic-grade Heart-protecting Ice Mirror on his chest would grant him a few seconds of damage immunity upon receiving a fatal attack, and the freezing ability that produced a cold current would not last long.
