Chapter 50: The Abyss of Despair

The students of the warrior department roared and charged, forging a line of flesh and blood against the black spiders crawling out of the cracks; The Assassin students used their speed to move between spiders, slashing their sharp blades into their fragile joints; The ranged classmates did their best to smash their psionic energy into every target in front of them under the cover of close combat.

The bloody battle began.

At this time, the students who were fighting with the spiders in close proximity saw the burrowing spiders for the first time. They are covered in black scales, and each of their eight long legs has sharp bone blades that dig through the soil and cut through rock. The barbed mouthparts have been completely mutated, full of sharp fangs, and two long tongues protruding from the mouth, the tips of which are full of barbs, which can pierce prey like a halberd or whip a target. Behind it is a row of retractable bone spurs, stronger than steel, which are used to raid prey underground.

Playing against these spiders, if you are not careful, you will get a wound on your body, and if you are stabbed by a long tongue, you will even be pulled directly into your mouth and cut into pieces by your fangs.

Yang Ming swung his sword in his right hand and swung the bone blade of a digging spider, but he didn't prevent its long tongue from piercing from the side. In a hurry, Yang Ming had no choice but to reluctantly use his left-handed sword to cut off the long tongue, but unexpectedly, a barb suddenly stretched out from the long tongue, directly jamming Yang Ming's blade. As soon as the long tongue was pulled, Yang Ming was caught off guard and was directly dragged towards the fangs of the digging spider. The assassin who cooperated with him reacted a little slowly, grabbed the air with one hand, failed to hold Yang Ming, and saw that the fangs cut towards Yang Ming's erect neck.

With a click, purple light flashed, and Wang Hao's dragon crystal armor directly smashed the fangs of the digging spider. As soon as the dragon's claws tightened, the burrowing spider's head immediately exploded into a puddle of slurry.

"Be careful." Wang Hao flashed by, and did not look back, but rushed to the next opponent.

Under the reciprocating rescue of Wang Hao and others, the students finally managed to maintain the balance of power.

Half an hour after the start of the battle, the ground exploded, and suddenly a huge ground piercing more than several meters long burst out of the ground, and the two students could not react, and they were directly pierced by the ground stab, and blood was splashed all over the ground on the spot, screaming and dying. The ground was uplifted, the soil and rocks cracked, and a huge digging spider with a height of three meters crawled out of the ground, and the coercion instantly covered a radius of more than ten meters.

"Shaping the Spirit Realm!" Some students screamed, this was the first time that a student had been killed since the start of the war, and it was also the first time that an elder-level burrowing spider in the Spirit Shaping Realm had appeared. Fear spread like a plague, and many students were affected by the fear, and when they were a little sluggish, they were seized by the burrowing spider who was fighting against them, and they were seriously injured with one blow, and the casualty rate increased rapidly at this time.

Zhang Lan, who was closest to the place where the incident occurred, gritted her teeth and raised her shield to charge, she was the only Shaping Spirit Realm nearby, and she had to withstand the attack of this elder-level burrowing spider.

The bone blade swung and slammed into Zhang Lan's shield, causing her legs to sink into the ground in an instant, and its power could be imagined.

The long tongue as thick as a human leg struck from the side at the same time as the bone blade slapped, Zhang Lan held a shield against the bone blade in his left hand, and swung his sword with his right hand to meet the long tongue. The barbs on the long tongue opened, a string of sparks lit up in the darkness, and the piercing sound of metal cutting shook the eardrums. Zhang Lan tried his best, but he still couldn't cut off his long tongue with one blow. At this time, another long tongue struck from the left side, and seeing that Zhang Lan couldn't move, he was about to be hit by the long tongue.

A dark shadow flashed, and with the sound of tinkling metal, Su Yue appeared on Zhang Lan's left side, and instantly stabbed more than a dozen times, and forcefully opened the attack of the long tongue.

The temperature of the air dropped suddenly, and Li Lin's cold ice followed, freezing the two long tongues of the Elder Digging Spider.

Ouyang Xue took the opportunity to break in head-on, and a cold light flickered on a pair of wrist blades, directly cutting at the junction of the spider elder's head.

There was a popper, and the slurry splashed, but the wristblade still couldn't cut the connection.

The Elder of the Digging Spider suffered a heavy blow, screaming and detonating all over his body in severe pain, and the violent waves of qi slammed out, knocking the surrounding students to the ground one after another, and the Digging Spider Legion took the opportunity to make up for the knife, and for a while the flesh and blood splashed, screaming again and again.

"Die!" Ouyang Xue also turned red at this time, contrary to her usual cold attitude. The power that had already reached the Spirit Shaping Realm erupted like a new star, and a large silver-white bird appeared behind her, roaring in the sky, feather-like armor slices stretching along her arms until they covered her fingertips. A pair of blades turned into claws, slashing down with a sonic boom that tore through the air.

The Elder of the Digging Spider let out a wail, his head fell in response, and his huge body struggled and waved the bone blade of his leg a few times before dying, and then completely lost the breath of life. The students' morale was greatly boosted, and they all moved forward more courageously, and for a moment they even suppressed the attack of the digging spiders.

Ouyang Xue's face did not relax a little because of this short-lived victory, on the contrary, the worry on her face became even stronger. Spiritual Sculptors can attach certain physical traits of Natal Spirits to themselves, thus making themselves stronger, but this strength is time-limited. She had originally planned to save this ability for the Beastmaster, but now she had to do her best just to face the Elder Digging Spider, which was definitely not good news. You must know that Ouyang Xue is ranked third in the grade, second only to Qin Peng in strength, and everyone present excludes Wang Hao, an outlier, only Su Yue can be compared to her. This is not the only one of the Elders of the Burgering Spiders, and when they attack at the same time, who can resist them? Not to mention the beast groups that are approaching at a rapid speed on the periphery, each beast group will have at least one elder-level spirit beast in charge.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Suddenly, a continuous roar of beasts rang out around the battlefield. There are countless behemoths that appear at the edge of the students' field of vision. Immediately after, smoke and dust rose everywhere, the earth roared, and countless herds of beasts swarmed in. With the appearance of the beast herd, more than a dozen huge bulges appeared on the ground of the battlefield, and the giant ground thorns two or three meters high roared out from the ground with the force of shattering earth and rocks, and no less than ten students were pierced to death on the spot because they couldn't dodge, and a strong smell of blood diffused.

The cold wind blew, and the night sky became colder and colder, and under the cover of the moonlight, more than a dozen elder-level burrowing spiders who were black, hard as rocks, and cold as steel, slowly burst out of the ground, and they climbed very slowly, as if they were not worried about the sudden attack of the students. This self-confidence and majesty further brewed an emotion that was far more terrible than fear, that is, despair. The coercion that belonged to the Shaping Spirit Realm swept across the battlefield, and the freshmen showed desperate expressions one after another. The freshmen, who had never experienced real life and death, looked terrified at this time, and some of them were weak-willed, and their hands were trembling, and they couldn't even hold their weapons.

The largest in the audience, the five-meter-tall Digging Spider Elder shook his huge head, as if to express contempt for the weakness of the students, it raised one of its long legs, stabbed the bone blade deep into the abdomen of a fallen student, pulled out all his organs, and then picked the flesh into his mouth, and chewed it as if no one else was around.

The sound of human bones being crushed by hard mouthparts in such a scene tormented everyone's hearts like a terrifying nightmare that could not be awakened.

Blood trickled down the Elder Digging Spider's fangs, reflecting the suppressed and terrified faces of the freshmen on its smooth and cold fangs like lenses.

An atmosphere of unspeakable fear spread across the battlefield, dragging everyone's hearts into a bottomless abyss of despair.
