Chapter 20: Distress (part 2/10)
"Although he killed more than a dozen spiders at one time just now, it should be a lot of physical loss, maybe a few more times so he will have no strength, so it's not that he doesn't want to save us, but he can't help it."
Li Li's heart was like a mirror, and she suddenly understood Xiao Ling's thoughts.
In the middle of the two houses, seven or eight spiders appeared, and what was even more terrifying was that the surrounding houses were also covered with spiders, and they would volley in and attack, and they could not be prevented.
Xiao Ling didn't say a word, brandished the Zimu knife, and rushed into the middle of the two houses, the Zimu knife swung out one after another, and the three spiders in front of him were killed by his Zimu knife.
Immediately behind him were Zhang Xiu, Yi Shujuan, Li Li, Wang Pengcheng, Ma Wei, and Wang Shoujun fell behind.
Wang Shoujun was injured in the back of the neck, and was stabbed into it by the blood-red spikes of the spider, although it was not fatal, but the injury was not light, and he felt severe pain with every step, which made him unable to keep up with the speed of the crowd, and he was soon thrown two meters behind.
Zhang Xiu turned around and saw Wang Shoujun behind, and even saw two spiders rushing up from behind, his lips opened, wanting to remind Wang Shoujun, but in the end he didn't say anything.
He understood that Wang Shoujun would not survive.
Xiao Ling in front of him let out a low roar, and slaughtered into the oncoming swarm of spiders, and the Zimu knife waved to form a knife flower, drawing white lines in the air.
One by one, the spiders were slashed and rolled backwards, and he made a bloody way and rushed out between the two houses.
Behind him, Wang Shoujun let out a miserable scream.
Xiao Ling heard Wang Shoujun's voice sound from seven or eight meters behind, and frowned, but he didn't look back, only sighed in his heart.
He knew he couldn't save him.
If he turns around and rushes out seven or eight meters to save Wang Shoujun now, the oncoming swarms of spiders will surround him again, and if he has worked hard before, he will also be attacked, and the gains outweigh the losses.
The only option at the moment is to give up Wang Shoujun.
Ma Wei heard Wang Shoujun's screams, and couldn't help but turn around, and then saw Wang Shoujun being caught by two spiders and dragged to the ground.
He bit his lip and didn't dare to look at it anymore, just grabbed the hammer in his hand, and was in a cold sweat all over, desperately chasing Xiao Ling in front of him.
Now everyone understands that whoever falls at the back of the line is the next to die.
Soon everyone rushed forward more than ten meters, Wang Shoujun was thrown far behind, his screams were high and low, very poignant and piercing, everyone's hearts were terrified, and they were cold.
In the end, Wang Shoujun's screams could no longer be heard, and countless spiders drowned the rear, and Wang Shoujun was silent.
Those who are still alive have become six.
Xiao Ling's palms and forehead oozed cold sweat, if he wanted to kill a bloody path from this group of cockroaches, he could only use the powerful Zimu Knife, although he put away the Zimu Sword and reduced the weight, but the Zimu Knife still weighed one hundred and sixty-two catties, and after using it for a long time, he began to feel that his arm was sore, and his physical strength was seriously consumed.
"This time it's troublesome, at that time, I asked Lao Zhou to build a weapon for me, and the main consideration was the power of the weapon, the more powerful it is, the better, but I didn't consider the problem of needing to use it for a long time if I fell into the current predicament."
Xiao Ling's brows tightened together, understanding that the creation of this weapon was more about the dangers he encountered during the previous scientific expedition, and with the help of many companions, it was impossible for him to fight alone for a long time, so he didn't think too much about how long his physical strength would last.
After all, if he was required to fight for a long time, and even his strength was exhausted with such abundant physical strength, other ordinary people would have been unable to support their lives for a long time, and the scientific expedition team would be equivalent to the entire army being ambushed.
Although the sub-sword is lightweight, it is not powerful enough, suitable for one-on-one combat or surprise attacks, and in the face of this kind of attack by swarms of spiders, the power is not enough, and it is difficult to effectively kill the spiders.
Xiao Ling led everyone and rushed forward again to kill ten meters, he saw that in front of him were a patch of houses, between the houses, all of them were spiders, and in the distance was a darkness, even with his eyesight, he couldn't see clearly.
At this sight, a trace of despair welled up in his heart.
Not to mention escaping with other people, I'm afraid that even I may not be able to escape before my physical strength is exhausted.
On the house on one side, a spider suddenly came out and pounced on Xiao Ling and everyone below.
Xiao Ling swept the knife upwards and cut a swooping cockroach in half.
The juice poured all over him, and the dissected corpses of the spiders fell on either side of his body.
Zhang Xiu and Wang Pengcheng were also attacked.
"Fight these monsters—" Zhang Xiu let out an angry roar, and the iron axe in his hand slashed out.
The five of them were cornered and had to fight desperately.
Zhang Xiu's iron axe has just been cut on the back of a spider, although the iron axe made by this dwarf is light, but it is very sharp, under the axe, the fish scales on the back of this spider were immediately cut apart, although there is no power of the knife, it is cut in half, but that is only Zhang Xiu's strength is insufficient.
Successfully slashed a spider, Zhang Xiu didn't have time to get excited, and suddenly had a sharp pain in his chest, but he was pointed into his chest by the blood-red spikes sticking out of the spider's mouth.
He let out a wild roar, fought back desperately, and slashed with his axe again.
Not only Zhang Xiu was in distress, but Wang Pengcheng, Ma Wei, Yi Shujuan and Li Li were in danger one after another, and they were not opponents of these spiders, not to mention that they sometimes encountered several spider attacks at the same time.
Xiao Ling slashed the spider that attacked him, and when he heard the screams of everyone in his ears, his heart sank, his body turned around, and the Zimu knife pushed out horizontally.
A spider that was about to hit Li Li was cut horizontally through the middle by the Zimu knife, and he rushed to Wang Pengcheng's side again, flew up with a kick, and kicked a spider that was holding down Wang Pengcheng and flew out.
Although he successfully rescued Li Li and Wang Pengcheng in succession, Zhang Xiu had already been pounced on by the two spiders behind him, and the blood-red spikes pierced into his back, and his claws were linked, dragging him far away.
Zhang Xiu roared miserably, twisting and struggling all over the ground.
"Zhang Xiu—" Yi Shujuan screamed, her face full of tears, and she turned to flee towards Zhang Xiu, when suddenly a spider fell in the air and pounced on her.
"Get out!" Xiao Ling caught up, his face was flushed with anger, and the Zimu knife slashed out diagonally, cutting the volley of the spider in half, and wanted to save Zhang Xiu again, but suddenly found that more than a dozen spiders in the rear rushed up, and Zhang Xiu had been dragged to the rear, and a group of spiders surrounded him.
Xiao Ling stopped, knowing that Zhang Xiu was hopeless.
Even if he rushes over now, he is afraid that Zhang Xiu will already have more than a dozen holes on his body, and he will already be a dead man when he is rescued.
