Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1315: The Storm Is Coming

Of course, Luci didn't know where the spider pack went.

In fact, even Yami, the Spider Empress, did not know that at this time, Yami was lying on the thick back of the giant spider and sleeping with her eyes closed. Although she was the master of the spider nest, she was far from strict with the control of the spider pack. Apart from a few special arachnids that needed to be alerted, the other arachnids had their own elder arachnids to supervise and distribute. The Elder Spider was Yami's name, and those spiders were highly intelligent throughout the nest. They looked like a wolf spider with a snail's shell on its back and a bunch of fleshy beards under its jaw, making it look like a beard. Elder arachnids weren't good at fighting, and when they encountered danger, they would retreat into their shells to passively defend themselves. However, their intelligence was very high, and they were capable of sharing the general tasks for Yami.

At this moment, three kilometers east of their temporary camp, a group of servant spiders suddenly lost contact. The servant spiders were the lowest-ranking arachnids in the group. Their identities were as their names indicated, serving the entire group of arachnids. During the march, the servant spider also served as a scout. Of course, you can't expect these arachnids that have little fighting power to go into battle. They can only act as cannon fodder at best. However, there were many of them, and if they spread out around the camp, it would be a natural alert network. Once the servant spiders were attacked, they would emit a sound that only the elder spiders could hear to warn them.

Even though the Elder Spider did not receive the warning, the servant spider did not respond to his message at the scheduled time. Thus, the Elder Spider mobilized a group of arachnids to find out the reason. This group of spiders was mainly led by three throwers, plus a team of wolf spiders and sword spiders. Very quickly, the spider pack arrived at the area where the missing spider was in charge. A thrower easily found a few corpses of the spider on the pile of snow.

The spiders seemed to have been burned by the fire, and their legs were completely closed, leaving traces of burning on their bodies.

The green firefly rolled her eyes and let out a cry that only the arachnids could understand. The arachnids were about to turn around. Suddenly, a few wolf spiders let out a hissing sound. The thrower turned around and saw a fiery red exotic beast pouncing on the wolf spiders. This exotic beast's head was like a ferocious beast. Its forelimbs had humanoid arms, but its hind legs had hooves. Its head had long curved horns, and the flames on its head could not be swallowed. Its entire body emitted the aura of blazing flames.

It silently tore the spiders into pieces in the blink of an eye. Then, Python let out a provocative roar at the thrower.

The thrower opened his mouth and jaw, revealing a dense circle of nest teeth. The six green eyes on his head lit up at the same time, and the remaining wolf spiders and sword spiders beside him swarmed forward. The fiery red exotic beast pounced over without a word, its strong arms clenched tightly into fists. First, a punch landed on the head of the sword spider. Immediately, the head of the sword spider blossomed and its feet twitched. Then, he grabbed a wolf spider and tore it with his left and right hands. The spider's blood overflowed and the dead wolf spider was casually thrown to the ground.

At this moment, a few smaller sword spider jumped onto the beast's body and used their two sharp sword-like legs to pierce into the beast. The beast was immediately injured. However, it did not roar like an ordinary ferocious beast. Instead, it silently grabbed a sword spider with both of its hands and directly crushed it. Seeing that the spiders had suffered heavy casualties, the thrower opened his mouth and spat out a thread of spider silk.

The spider silk spread out in the wind and turned into a large web that landed on the exotic beast's body. Green poison dripped from the spider silk, which was corrosive from the poisonous sac in the thrower's body. Not only was the body of the exotic beast zipped by the spider silk, even the sword spiders were burned with green smoke by the poisonous silk.

The sword spider squeaked, but the exotic beast remained silent. The flames on its head suddenly surged, and the exotic beast opened its mouth and spat out a flame at the thrower. Just as the netizen was about to withdraw his net, the beast spat out a blazing flame and immediately swept the flame. The spider's body immediately burned. It let out a sharp hissing sound, ignoring the need to retract its web and smashing its head into the nearby snowdrift.

But before it crashed into the snow, the nets were burned to death, and its corpse was still crackling in the flames.

When the exotic beast broke free of the spider web, its expression became dispirited. Suddenly, two more poisonous webs landed on its body. He turned his head and saw that the last two spiders of the swarm were standing on one side of each other, constantly spitting out poisonous nets to trap them. A moment later, the exotic beast was wrapped in layers of spider webs and stopped moving. The two throwers pulled the cocoon back and reported what had happened here.

The Elder Spider personally untied the silk cocoon and saw the corpse of the exotic beast. In the end, it chose not to disturb Yami, who was sleeping soundly. Moreover, it was embarrassing to see a netizer die and a team of sword spiders and werewolf spiders kill such a wild beast. However, if the Elder Spider knew that such an exotic beast was not a creature from the Realm of the Forgotten, it would probably make the opposite judgment. So sometimes, being too smart is not necessarily a good thing.

The exotic beast that was killed was naturally the Fire Horned Demon.

Bai Xicheng was two days away from the arachnids. Normally speaking, Hillon's connection with the Firehorn Demon could not be maintained that far. However, Hillon organized them into teams, each responsible for a designated area. When the team left the contact area, they had the Firehorn Demon send a message with a shout.

Not long after the Fire Horned Demon was taken away by the netizen, two other Fire Horned Demons appeared at the battle site. They walked around the battlefield, and then one of the Fire Horned Demons let out a dull roar. A moment later, another roar sounded from the snow two kilometers away. Then, the roar continued, quickly sending the news back to Bai Xicheng.

Bai Xicheng, who had been standing on the city walls of Hillon for several days and nights like a statue, received the news and two red lights shone under his helmet. Then, the monarch pulled out the giant sword that was stabbed into the ground and strode down the city wall towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, Trisley finally saw Alan.

Alan and Bai were having dinner, and their tables were piled with mountains of food. Alan hadn't eaten anything since he locked himself up in his room, and so had Bai. Now the two of them were eating much faster and faster. When Trish came in, there was already a pile of empty dishes on the table. Laura smiled helplessly and reminded Alan that Trish was here after the food was high up in the hill.

Alan stood up, his mouth bulging, and he didn't know how many things were stuffed into it. "Trish, tell me what happened when I heard that Graytown was attacked?" He said vaguely.

"Yes, Master." "Why don't I wait for you to finish?" Trisley stroked her forehead.

"No need." Alan swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a tissue beside him, patted his stomach and smiled, "I'm done. Tell me."

Trisley nodded and relayed the news she had heard from the refugees in Graytown. She then reminded them, "Those refugees also mentioned spiders, and there are quite a few of them. This is what I care about the most. Luci has no habit of keeping spiders, let alone bringing out a large army of spiders."

"Spider " Allen said, "doesn't sound like a pleasant thing."

At this moment, heavy footsteps came from outside the door, and Hillon pushed the door open. The monarch knelt on one knee. The giant sword lay flat on the ground and lowered its head to Alan. "Your Highness, I just received news that an army is coming towards us from the snowy plains to the west."

"It must be Luci!" Trisley said.

Alan looked at Hillon and said, "Take back the Horned Fiend, Hillon. We need to get ready for battle."

"I'll do it now."

After Hillon left, Allen asked, "What is Luci capable of?"

Tracy narrowed her eyes and pondered for a moment. "As far as I know, Luci has made a pitiful number of moves. In fact, big shots like Luci rarely participated directly in battles in the Great Wastelands. They were more accustomed to using the army and their subordinates to solve the problem. If they couldn't solve it, they would move the battlefield to the negotiating table. For example, a few years ago, Luci and the Berserkers attacked Blood Eye's territory, which was already a special case. But even so, Luci still didn't make a move. "

"My knowledge of Luci is limited. I only know that Luci has an ability called the White Realm, which is a domain-oriented ability. However, this ability is only used to clean up miscellaneous weapons. It is useless for experts above Level 30."

Alan shrugged and said, "Well, it seems that we can't gather any information. Let's wait for him to deliver it to us. We'll know when the time comes."

Seeing Alan's relaxed expression, Tracy couldn't help but warn, "Master, don't think of Luci as a match for Blood Eye. Luci's combat strength is definitely above Azes's. Although she hasn't seen it with her own eyes, many rumors have pointed out that Luci's true abilities are very powerful and terrifying."

"I didn't bring it up, Trisley." Alan smiled and said, "It's just that Luci will be surprised if he uses my battle with Azes as a reference."

"Since you've already said that " Tracy nodded. "Then I'll go down and make some preparations. I can't deal with Luci, but I can share the burden of his subordinates."

For the next two days, people in Bai Xicheng could feel the pressure of the storm. Hillon gathered the scattered troops, and groups of Firehorn Demons gathered under the city gate. When they gathered together, there seemed to be a sea of fire burning beneath the city. On the evening of the following day, some bird's cry sounded in the sky above Bai Xicheng. When people raised their heads, they could see some fiery red shadows circling over the city.

That's the newly produced flying unit of Mitinus, the Fire Falcon.

Fire falcons can fly at altitudes of more than a thousand meters, which ensures that they will not be easily hit by attacks from the ground, and even ordinary experts will find it difficult to hit them. Fire falcons weren't purely combat creatures. They were mostly used for scouting, but that didn't mean they didn't have combat capabilities. The Fire Falcon's wings were pure flames. They could flap out of the wind and shake off the flaming feathers, but their power was limited.
