Chapter 293: Mutation Under the Moon
"It's kind of interesting. Richard pulled out the magnetic gun and was about to take aim, but he thought about it and put it down.
The guy in his hand can even break through the exaggerated defense of a dragon, and he knows that the power must be redundant without trying, and it can't play any role in testing.
"If this had happened before, I don't think it would have been possible for Chief Setos and the other Tiger Spirits not to remind me. โ
"Maybe it's a new variety. Gunther was eager to take a tomahawk.
No matter how rich the harvest is, slaughtering the unthreatening sand spiders is a dull mental torture. It's easy to see some variables, and the first reaction is not nervousness but excitement.
"Don't be careless, beware of capsizing in the gutter. Seeing that the distance was enough, Richard waved his hand and opened the prelude to the whole battle.
"Shoot the arrows!"
The bowstrings shook in unison, and the arrows rained down.
After Richard watched the round of shooting, he already knew it.
If you say, the sand spider is a crappy monster that ordinary farmers can kill with a nail rake. That kind of black spider is at least not inferior to a fully armed elite regular soldier.
The Ripper Corps uses an exaggerated number of longbow pounds, and when combined with heavy annihilation arrows, the penetration is the best of the best. But even so, occasionally some black spiders can resist two or three arrows before dying, and their vitality is tenacious to the extreme!
The heaviest part of that swarthy carapace was comparable to plate armor, and even the lightest part was at least not weaker than chain mail.
Moreover, when the black spider is seriously injured and dying, it will make a very sharp chirp, which is completely different from the mute sand spider.
The spider tide had come close to a few dozen yards away.
"Infantry, go up. โ
And so the battle of tomahawks, steel swords, arthropods, and mouthparts began!
The sand spider's performance was still so lame, except that it could consume a little of the opponent's physical strength with its physical body, it was almost useless, and it was quickly cut into a mountain of corpses.
But the black spider is much more powerful, whether it is arthropods or mouthparts, it can leave obvious traces on the steel, which is not the same grade as ordinary sand spiders at all!
Richard personally killed one head, and the amount of experience that jumped out of his vision was six or seven times that of an ordinary sand spider. The observations were also validated from the side.
Although they occupy at most one-fiftieth of the spider colony, they bring a qualitative change to the whole!
There is never a shortage of spider colonies, and the real limiting factor is that the quality is too low. And the existence of the black spider just makes up for this big shortcoming.
There are ordinary sand spiders as cannon fodder to consume the opponent's physical strength, and there are also black spiders as elites to launch deadly attacks, just like an army with a clear division of labor, of course, better than stragglers.
To be honest, if it were the Ripper Legion two full moon nights, it would have been really exhausting to face a swarm of spiders of this level. At that time, there were too many recruits, and I was inexperienced in dealing with the spider tide.
But two full moon nights, a full two months. It's good that the spider tide has changed, and the mountain castle is not idle here, and their transformation is even greater!
With the exception of the bottomless black hole that devours experience, such as the Troll Warrior, first-order recruits can generally grow to at least the third order or higher!
For these high-ranking soldiers who are themselves from a strong fighting race, even a stronger black spider is no longer enough to see.
With one finger down, it doesn't matter if the ant is strong or not. Just as when the sharp blade slashes everywhere and the precise arrow does not stop for a moment, it doesn't matter whether the sand spider or the black spider is black at all, they can only turn into corpses!
The archers' arrows roared like a call from the depths of the River Styx, and the barbarian warriors became the cruel Grim Reaper who harvested life!
And the trolls have long since abandoned the one-handed hammer in favor of a more efficient weapon - the feet. They stomped, like gophers, and their legs took turns to raise and trample one spider after another!
In front of the ugly spiders, they are as majestic as the legendary heavenly warriors! No matter how many monsters collide with them, they will only end up in pieces!
"Call Typhon, call Typhon. "Your Excellency even has the leisure to use the Communication Magic Stone to communicate information with the other side.
"Everything is normal with Typhon, the situation is stable, it's over. Seedorf's voice came from the magic stone, he had replaced Dracula as Commander of Typhon.
"No black spiders found, over. Richard slashed his spear with one hand, smashing the connection between the belly and body of a black spider.
Losing the drag of a bloated belly, the first half of the spider body became very agile, and it ran out a long way in one go. But after all, it is water without a source and a tree without roots, and the remaining vitality is quickly gone.
"No, it's over. โ
"Let Higuain bring Dracula over, over. โ
"Roger, done. โ
"Hung up. Richard threw the scrapped stone into the spider tide, and the bed crossbow pierced several heads one after another, which was considered his most brilliant achievement in throwing.
Typhon's Gap is not infested with black spiders.
It wasn't until the last time he came to the New World that he remembered that he could bring some communication magic stones to facilitate communication. Due to the limited number, only one pilot was conducted between Goliath and Typhon. There are no gaps in the guards of the other indigenous tiger spirits, and they cannot be contacted for the time being.
However, Richard speculated that there were probably and only new varieties of Goliath Gap.
After all, if the tiger spirit has been guarded for thousands of years, it has never seen a black spider, which is enough to show that this thing is not ordinary.
"Nehru, point the bucket!"
............
After a few rounds, it was again full of pits and valleys of spider remains.
The lord also arranged a new tactic for Higuain, asking the dragon Osiris to swoop and throw it with a canister of fire oil, and then make up for the dragon's breath when he was about to rise in the spider tide.
The results can only be described as exceptional.
The black spider doesn't seem to be very afraid of fire, but the surrounding sand spiders are really fierce when they burn.
So it didn't take long for the spider tide to retreat, leaving behind countless bones of the same kind.
"I've been waiting for a month, and it's over so soon?" Gunther took off his helmet and shook his neck in disgust, "I haven't even warmed up yet." โ
"Not true. Hurt frowned and shook his head.
The receding spider tide did not disappear into the desert as usual, but returned to the Goliath Gap to continue to entrench. Soon, they began to gather and stack in the middle, like a hill rising out of thin air.
At first glance, it looks like a lake with slight ripples under the action of the wind. But it wasn't a lake, it was a dense crowd of terrifying spiders!
Under the moonlight, everyone could clearly see that countless spiders stepped out of their arthropods and stepped on the bodies of their own kind to climb desperately upward, trying to increase the height of the "Spider Mountain" little by little.
The goosebumps on Richard's arms had explodedโit was definitely the most penetrating scene he had ever seen in his life, and there was no one!
