Gao Fei nodded in agreement with his girlfriend's suggestion. Taking advantage of the fact that the "flying skills" blessed by everyone had not yet expired, they collectively jumped into the air and flew to the top of the funnel pit before the spiders attacked.
Everyone was suspended in the abyss shrouded in darkness. With the help of the bright light emitted by the twilight sword in Jiang Feng's hand, they could see densely packed poisonous spiders below, climbing up the pit walls and spider webs, tracking them like a rising tide.
The insect tide was also mixed with a small number of huge spiders, which were transformed by Ares using the giant insect scepter.
While in the air, temporarily free from the risk of being bitten by spiders, the clever scarecrow started thinking, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Miss Mage! Use the 'Fireball Technique' quickly to burn the cobwebs below. This will prevent the spiders from approaching us along the cobwebs!"
Ma Yun also thought this was a good idea, and quickly fired a "Fireball Technique" at the cobwebs. At the same time, she controlled the magic pet Toto and used the "Spell Clockwork" to release the "Fireball Technique", burning the cobwebs and killing them all together.
Big spider on the web.
After some indiscriminate bombardment, the cobwebs were burned to pieces.
The large and small spiders that emerged from the bottom of the pit could only climb along the steep pit wall.
The surrounding pit walls were far away from the area where everyone was suspended in the air. The spiders jumped with all their strength, but they couldn't reach Gao Fei and others. They dragged their silk threads in vain and fell back into the pit.
Seeing this scene, everyone breathed a sigh of relief
However, as soon as the tense nerves relaxed, everyone discovered a strange scene.
The large and small spiders that were originally gathered in a dense mass on the wall of the pit disappeared collectively in an instant, decomposed into disordered magic power, and dissipated into the void.
"What's going on...all the spiders are gone?!"
The tigress Janet exclaimed in surprise.
The Scarecrow scratched his head and muttered to himself: "It's really strange that Ares took the initiative to cancel the spellcasting concentration of 'Flying Insects and Beasts'. Why is this?"
As soon as the concentration of the spell ends, the summoned spiders will automatically disintegrate - including the 12 that were enlarged by the "giant insect spell".
"Ares gave up the insect swarm, wouldn't it be a waste of magic power?" The Tin Woodman couldn't figure it out.
"He can't waste it even if he doesn't want to!" The lion laughed loudly, "Ares, that black-skinned fool, summoned a group of spiders. They can only crawl against the wall and cannot fly. They cannot threaten us at all. Continue to maintain
It’s meaningless, it’s better to give up as soon as possible to save yourself the trouble and effort!”
What Dimitri said makes sense, but the question is, will Ares give up chasing the enemy so easily?
Just when everyone was on tenterhooks, a scalp-numbing roar came from the dark pit.
It sounded like the chirp of a mosquito, amplified a thousand times!
"I'll wipe it! Could it really be..."
The "Spell Thief"'s night vision ability is comparable to that of the devil, allowing Gao Fei to be the first to see clearly the buzzing swarm of insects.
Yes, it was indeed a group of poisonous mosquitoes eager to suck blood, like turbid clouds floating in the night sky, including 12 giant mosquitoes, each one as big as a helicopter!
Seeing a swarm of giant mosquitoes flying over, Xiao Ma also lost his composure on his face.
"Alas! I'm so stupid... I should have thought a long time ago that in addition to summoning spiders, the 'Flying Insect Beast' can also summon flying insects, and the 'Giant Insect Technique' is effective on all types of insects!"
Fortunately, Ares lacks the experience of living in the surface world, otherwise he should have summoned a wasp that is more ferocious and stronger than a mosquito. After applying the "giant insect spell", the giant bee transformed into a giant bee is even taller than the giant mosquito.
1 challenge level.
"Xiaoyun! Summon the flying monkeys quickly!" Jiang Feng reminded Ma Yun hurriedly.
After her reminder, Xiao Ma quickly took off her golden witch hat, recited a spell, summoned a group of flying monkeys, and ordered them to destroy the giant mosquitoes flying below.
The monkey king followed the hostess's order and led the flying monkeys to attack the giant mosquito, and the two sides fought fiercely in mid-air.
At least 8 flying monkeys can fight against a giant mosquito with challenge level 4.
The bites and scratches of flying monkeys are difficult to penetrate the hard chitinous exoskeleton of giant mosquitoes; on the contrary, the sharp spear-like mouthparts of giant mosquitoes can easily pierce the body of flying monkeys.
The fierce battle lasted for three minutes. In the end, the flying monkey swarm relied on their numerical advantage to tear all 12 ferocious giant mosquitoes into pieces, but they also paid a heavy price.
Nearly half of the flying monkeys died in the fierce battle, and their bodies fell into the deep pit like fallen leaves, decomposing into invisible magic power before they even touched the ground.
On the other hand, along with the attack of the giant mosquito corps, there is also a large group of tiny poisonous mosquitoes.
A swarm of these bloodthirsty insects surrounded Gao Fei and others and bit them crazily.
Fortunately, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng, Ma Yun, Dimitri and Janet have all been blessed with the "Stone Skin Technique". It is almost impossible for the mouthparts of ordinary mosquitoes to penetrate skin as hard as granite.
As for the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, the Sand Golem and the Mechanical Dog, they are all constructed creatures with built-in damage-reducing armor. Even if their defenses are broken by poisonous mosquitoes, they will have no blood to feed on, and they will not be infected by the germs carried by the mosquitoes.
As the battle in the air came to an end, a familiar roar came from below the pit again, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
As Gao Fei and others watched, another group of giant mosquitoes flew up from below, no more, no less, still 12!
Obviously, Ares repeated his old tricks and used the magic power of the giant insect scepter to create a new army.
"There is no way to continue fighting like this!"
Jiang Feng looked at the flying monkeys in the sky, almost all of them injured, with an ugly look on his face.
"The remaining flying monkeys will never be able to stop the new giant mosquitoes. We must make a decision quickly whether to escape from the cobweb pit!"
The combat effectiveness of a swarm of creatures mainly depends on the size of the swarm. When more than half of the flying monkey swarm is lost in battle, its on-paper combat effectiveness is not only reduced by half, but by 3/4 or even 7/8!
After leaving the flying monkey cluster behind, Gao Fei and Ma Yun jointly used "Any Door" to lead their teammates to a safe area. This was indeed the safest choice.
"As the saying goes, keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood. Run away before it's too late!" Jiang Feng said.
"If we escape from the cobweb pit, will the main mission of this chapter fail and we have to load and restart?" Ma Yun asked unwillingly.
Jiang Feng was stunned for a moment and said nothing.
She was also not sure whether escaping from the battlefield would cause the mission to fail.
Gao Fei looked at the swarm of giant mosquitoes approaching quickly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of another possibility.
"The richest man, I have a question!" Gao Fei looked at Ma Yun, "Can a teleportation spell like 'any door' bypass the protective shield of the 'refuge hut' and set the teleportation point directly inside the hut?"
