Chapter 1041: The Empress of Fear
This lake stretches for more than ten kilometers, and at first glance it seems to be endless. The surface of the lake is covered with green baths, and some strange trees rise from the water, covered with insect eggs, and the picture is definitely not pleasing to the eye.
Alan glanced around Lake Ze and then gestured, and the troops began to withdraw into the woods where they had come. This unexpected move made a pair of eyes looking at Allen in the middle of the lake flash a look of doubt.
Alan had already received information from Arkham about the Dreaded Empress, and he had already thought of a countermeasure when he arrived. Now it's time for action, and the soldiers in the unit begin to divide and work together according to Allen's orders. The Mountain King warrior felled down the giant trees and pulled them towards the position Eren had designated. The infantry soldiers hid a thick rope mixed with wire into the woods, and the inch-fire shooters spread out and looked for a commanding point of fire, all in an orderly manner.
Due to the obstruction of the trees, the eyes in the lake could not see Allen's arrangement, which made it anxious, and large and small ripples began to appear on the surface of the lake. Suddenly all the ripples disappeared as it saw Alan come out again.
There were a few cages behind Allen, each with a worm in it. Alan pulled out the Red King and said towards Zehu, "Empress of Fear, I know you're in Zehu. Come out, I ask you to release my companions. Otherwise, these things are what will happen to you. ”
He lifted one of the cages of the Red Dynasty and pointed at it, and the temperature in that cage rose sharply, spewing out large expanses of heavenly fire out of thin air. The fire in the sky was extinguished, but the insects in the cage had turned into a charred corpse.
A huge bubble suddenly floated up in the lake.
Of course, Eren noticed this bubble, and the Red King swept it, and the insects caught in the rest of the cages rose at the same time, emitting a sharp insect chirp.
At this time, an oppressive aura finally rose in the lake. Even the battle-hardened warriors of the Mountain King also changed their faces under this breath. The waters of Lake Ze began to flow, gradually forming a whirlpool. The lake bubbles up like a pot of boiling water. Suddenly, a water column exploded in the whirlpool in the center of the lake, and the water column rushed up more than ten meters before it spread out and fell, and it seemed to be a torrential rain on the surface of the lake.
The water began to rush towards the shore, and the waves were flat and the waves were rising. The splash grew louder and louder, and Eren raised his hand, and the warrior began to retreat, only he was still standing in place. He held the Red King in his hand and calmly faced Zehu. The light on Zehu Lake has become dim and cold, and something has begun to float in the whirlpool in the center of the lake.
It was hair, but each hair was as thick as a twig and wriggled like a living thing. As the hair surfaced, the lake continued to fall, and from the thick twig-like gap, there were palm-sized insects falling into the water. Then Alan saw a face, a face the size of a table. Judging from the eyebrows and appearance, this is undoubtedly a woman's face, and even judging by human aesthetics, this face is extremely beautiful.
The eyes on the face were originally closed, but after sensing Allen's gaze, it began to open. The eyelids lifted, revealing a pair of compound eyes of insects, with clear grids on them, each of which reflected Allen's figure. The face then splits from the bottom of the nose and suddenly opens into a triangular insect mouthpart. In the mouth, nest teeth were all over the place, and a long tongue full of fleshy thorns stretched out, and the end of the tongue shook sharply, and there was a sharp sound that pierced the eardrums.
Alan squinted, he ignored those high-frequency sounds, it was the monster's change from a human to an insect, and the impact of the picture really startled him.
There's no doubt that thing is the Empress of Fear. Its body was coming to the surface, and after the human face, the Empress of Fear had a perfectly proportioned female upper body. Whether it's the delicate clavicle line, or the bulging twin peaks wrapped in the hands, and a touching navel in the abdomen. From a distance, it looks like a woman's body that has been magnified countless times. It's just that this body is wrapped in a pitch-black shell, and on the dark insect shell, there are also complex and mysterious turquoise patterns. From time to time, those lines lit up with blue brilliance, like the breath of an empress.
As her upper body surfaced, the Empress unfolded her hands folded in front of her chest. The flesh on the backs of both hands bulged, and then a sharp blade pierced and stretched out from under the skin. At this moment the empress closed its monstrous mouthparts, and resumed its dignified and beautiful female face, while its body was still floating, and the lower half of its body, which emerged from the lake, was a spider body woven with blue markings.
Its bulging belly squirmed, squirting out a slime-laden piece of spider silk. The spider silk was webbed, the empress swiped her limbs, and the mountain-like body unexpectedly landed lightly on the spider web. It looked at Eren with unreserved anger in its gaze, and it was clear that Eren had succeeded in provoking the wrath of the insect man by burning it to death. Ignoring her angry gaze, Eren made a throat-slitting motion, then turned and ran regardless of whether it understood it or not.
As soon as he ran, the Empress of Fear followed suit. When it reached out, the six arthropods under the spider's abdomen slid alternately, and then quickly pressed towards the shore of the lake on the spider's web, like a female spider hunting. Despite the empress's sheer size, she moved quickly and silently. Alan had barely reached the edge of the treeline, and the Empress had already come ashore. Eren glanced back, then sped into the woods.
The Empress of Dread opened her mouth and screamed, roaring past the shore of the lake like a land chariot, crashing into the woods in a moment. It locked onto Allen's figure, mouthparts open, and a long tongue popped out. A cross slit appeared at the end of the tongue, and a cloud of blue spider silk erupted from the cleft. The spider silk spread out in midair, forming a green spider web covering Allen. Alan didn't turn his head back, moving sideways to avoid it.
A cobweb's web landed on a tree, and the ancient tree made a noise. The body of the tree was eroded by the cobwebs, which showed that the cobwebs had some kind of strong acid. This is different from the white spider silk that the Empress of Dread spews out of her tail, and these green spider silks are a killing weapon in their own right!
"Rope up!" After Eren avoided the cobwebs, he screamed.
The Empress of Fear was still in pursuit, and the ancient tree that was holding on to her was cut off by the sharp blades on her hands, and it could not stop it at all. At this time, the fallen leaves on the ground suddenly bounced up, and a thick cord under the leaves was stretched straight. The Empress of Fear was momentarily unaware of the collision, and her arthrops were stopped by a thick rope, and her body immediately lost its balance and fell forward. However, the force of its impact was more than a thousand catties, and the warriors who were pulling on both sides of the thick rope immediately flew up, and then fell heavily to the ground, and did not get up for a while.
Seeing the empress fall, before it could get up, thick ropes with hooks and claws were thrown on its body, hooking all parts of its body. After completing this operation, the warrior quickly tied the thick rope to a nearby ancient tree to secure the long rope. At this time, the Empress finally understood that she had fallen into a trap set by humans.
