Even though the fantasy mission started not long ago, Rhodes had already developed a deep sense of vigilance in his heart.
The sudden abnormal change disrupted Rhodes' original rhythm. He had to face the existence behind all this, which was the disciple of the King of Disease and the spider lady who spread the disease.
Following those spiders away, Rhodes soon saw something different in front of his eyes.
The nearby ground is covered with scorch marks caused by burning. A large number of spider corpses are left here, and the flames are burning on their corpses. Even so, there are still countless spiders, one after another, approaching here, trying to spread the disease in the body.
to the besieged Crusaders in the center.
Samson, the high-level swordsman who left the house earlier, was suddenly among these crusaders.
The Crusaders who were trapped here gave up the sword they were holding at this moment, picked up the burning torch, and waved it towards the ground at their feet to drive back the spiders that were approaching step by step.
Even Samson, a high-level swordsman, had to rely on the power of flames at this moment, but he did not wave the torch like other crusaders, but held the flaming sword tightly.
The flame has a good expulsion effect on these spiders. For a while, no spiders can harm the Crusaders on the scene. Instead, it allows the Crusaders to open up space for movement and display their strength.
This discovery undoubtedly made Rhodes realize something. If flames can restrain spiders, then as long as there is a powerful caster and a wall of fire is raised, these spiders will not be able to get close.
Compared with conventional methods, spells are always the most efficient method.
As the flames burned, the situation of the Crusaders was relieved, but the nearby spiders suffered heavy casualties.
Just as Rhodes was observing the situation in the field, Samson shouted: "We can't be trapped here! According to the patrol number, the first two teams are responsible for clearing the escape route, and the remaining people follow me to the city.
Rescue."
Perhaps the spiders that were forced back gave the high-level swordsman some confidence. Under his order, the nearby crusaders immediately took action and immediately divided into two different teams and headed in two different directions.<
/p>
Noticing that the Crusaders were divided into two teams, Rhodes hesitated slightly. He could only follow one of them and had no time to care about what was happening on the other side.
After thinking about it in his mind, Rhodes made his decision. From the perspective of Ms. Spider, she would definitely not deal with the strongest high-level swordsman in the city from the beginning, but would instead
Stay at the end and clear out the high-level swordsmen’s helping hands first.
The Crusaders who stay in place and clear the passage are undoubtedly the best first choice targets. After clearing them out, Samson's power can be effectively disintegrated.
After discovering this, Rhodes stopped thinking about following Samson and his party, and instead stayed where he was, preparing to see if Ms. Spider would do what he thought.
Not long after waiting, the ground under Rhodes' feet suddenly began to tremble violently, and the small stones nearby shook and made a tiny crunching sound.
In the center of the Crusaders' formation, a wide gap suddenly opened in the ground. Several slender black sword blades protruded from the gap, pressing the Crusaders and their armor to the ground. For a moment, the entire Crusaders' formation
All fell into chaos.
In the distance, Rhodes could clearly see the source of the abnormal change. What protruded from the crack in the ground was not a pitch-black sword blade, but a spider leg that had been enlarged countless times. The hair on it was as hard as barbs.
Explained this to Rhodes.
A huge spider emerged from the center of the Crusaders' formation. Its size was several times larger than that of the Crusaders. With its rampage, the Crusaders' formation was instantly overwhelmed.
Facing the alien enemy that was several times larger, the Crusaders' daily training was completely useless. They didn't know how to face the enemy at all, not to mention that the threats they faced were not just from the giant spider.
Under the collision of the giant spiders, the crusaders who fell to the ground were soon covered with tiny spiders, and the tiny spiders got in along the gaps in their armor.
The Crusader who discovered something strange was scratching frantically outside his armor, but it seemed to be of no avail. He couldn't take off his armor for a while, and finally fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.
Even the flames could not stop the collision of the giant spiders. Perhaps because the flames were too small, in the eyes of the giant spiders, the torch held high in the hands of the Crusaders was only a small flame. For a time, the Crusaders lost all counterattacks.
means of control.
Looking at the giant spider in the field, Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly. According to his perception, it should have a strength of about level five. If it has any special abilities, its strength can even reach level six.
Unfortunately, the nearby Crusaders were unable to unleash the giant spider's true capabilities, and were quickly wiped out by its collision.
Under Rhode's watch, these crusaders were quickly destroyed. The dark yellow viscous liquid flowed out along the gaps in their armor, and the nearby spiders sucked happily.
Even the giant spider, after destroying the nearby Crusaders, stopped its movements and lay prone on the spot, as if waiting for something.
Seeing this, Rhodes thought for a moment, then decided not to wait any longer and took the initiative to step forward.
Although Rhodes doesn't know what method Ms. Spider relies on to control these tiny spiders, those tiny spiders may have informed Ms. Spider of their existence a long time ago, and there is no point in continuing to hide.
Walking out from behind, Rhodes soon came to the prone giant spider.
Being stared at by the giant spider's eight dark red eyes, Rhodes' expression remained unchanged and he asked slowly: "Are you Ms. Spider?"
"Of course it's not."
The person who answered Rhodes' question was naturally not the giant spider in front of him, the voice came from another direction.
Looking around, Rhodes saw a woman walking slowly among the large group of spiders.
She wore a long black dress and a veil around her face. Only her eyes were exposed, and her eyes were bright, like the light in the dark night.
And on top of her head, there was a fat spider lying down, with eight spider legs hanging down from both sides of her cheeks, as if she was wearing a unique crown.
"Ms. Spider..." Feeling the strong aura exuding from her body, he also recognized her identity.
In addition, Rhodes also felt a familiar aura from her body, which was the aura of the King of Diseases. It was exactly the same as the aura of the surrounding spiders, but it was stronger.
