291. Slaughter, eight-legged giant spider
This is very different from Hawkins's world, the scarlet lightning that swims like a sharp sword splits through the thick cotton wool clouds, and there are bursts of thrilling thunder through the cracks in the clouds, and the thunder pours out swan-like spore plants.
Dean swept across the barren land, and some normal buildings gradually appeared in his vision, one-story or two-story villas, separated from each other, in the same style as ordinary houses in Hawkins, but the interior was empty, and the furniture and electrical appliances were all full of the smell of being baptized by the rain of time.
It's like being abandoned in this wilderness for years.
"How can there be a human house in such a place, and it is very familiar, I must have seen it in Hawkins."
Dean thought of the house where Jonathan was hiding,
"There must be some intrinsic connection between the world and the town of Hawkins..."
He had a desire to explore, but it was clear that the "natives" did not welcome him as an outsider.
A dense black hole appeared in the desolate stone ground not far ahead, like a rabbit hole magnified a hundredfold, and as Dean approached, there were bursts of roars and chirping sounds from the hole.
Thundered!
The earth trembled slightly, and one after another the rift monsters came out of their burrows, their largest five or six meters tall like deformed giants, and the small ones less than half a meter high landed on all fours like hounds, all rushing madly towards Dean, looking from afar as if a dark red fungus carpet had been spread out on the ground, and the fungus carpet was embedded with steel needle-like fangs and cold-shining claws.
But no amount of Level 2 supernatural creatures could threaten Dean, and he floated at a height of 100 meters, unhurriedly letting go of God's perspective and looking into the cave.
Beneath the surface are a circle of winding tunnels forming a vast underground labyrinth, and dark brown vines wriggle in the clay of the labyrinth's walls, like frightened animals burrowing into the ground, fleeing into darkness invisible to God's perspective.
Another large group of Rip Monsters weaved through the tunnels and vines in an orderly manner.
Some of them rushed out of the burrow to join the fight, while the other remained in the tunnel and continued to be busy.
Scenes above ground and underground are connected in series.
Dean couldn't help but think of the beehive.
The rip monsters that go out are worker bees, and those that stay below are nesting bees and nursery bees.
"A strange world, where the surface is barren and dilapidated, but the underground is full of life, giving birth to a large number of flora and fauna... Well, they still seem to follow the swarm consciousness? β
Thinking about it, the tidal wave of rip monsters ran to Dean's feet and frantically threw themselves into the sky, jumping up to ten meters high, unable to reach where Dean was.
So several Rip Monsters spontaneously formed a black circle as a foundation, and the rest of the Rip Monsters stepped on the foundation, using the bodies of their kind as ladders to climb, jumping up one end after another, piling higher and higher.
It was as if a dark red tree of flesh had grown on the flat ground, and its bark was covered with large petal-like mouths, and in the blink of an eye, it had grown to a height of fifty or sixty meters.
"Almost."
Dean grabbed the long wolf's tooth knife that reflected the metallic luster, held it high above his head with both hands, his clothes were windless, his muscles bulged like red armor, and life energy gushed out from everywhere, radiating a dazzling light to the outside, and finally converged on the blade.
The vast white light of the sun hung over the gloomy sky.
Brush β
His body fell like a meteor, and the platinum long knife slashed down angrily, as if it was about to split the mountains!
The blade hit the first Rift Monster, and the boiling life energy was like a flame of tens of thousands of degrees, instantly melting it into gas.
The sharp, unforged blade continued to slice down a whistling monster as smoothly as a hot knife slicing through butter.
The Rip Monsters stacked in a row could not let out a single scream or wail, and they were all annihilated by the white light.
Dean smashed to the ground, and a pillar of platinum light more than fifty meters long appeared in the air behind him.
The ground pointed by the tip of the knife in front of him cracked into a narrow ravine, revealing the dark and staggered tunnels underneath and the terrified vines.
You have killed a ripper *67, Mastery +67, Combat lv5 (162β229/700).
Black air masses flew out of the pillars of light, representing the souls of the Death Rift Monsters, who were summoned to rush into the dark sky.
But the shadow waiting next to him moved just in time, and reached out into the air to make a move.
Ziziziββ
A ball of electricity over five meters in diameter was woven from the void.
The ball of electricity swirled and unleashed a powerful magnetic field, sucking in all the souls that tried to escape, and shattering them with dazzling lightning.
Shadow absorbs a large amount of soul essence, Shadow lv4 (1β68/500).
β¦β¦
In a second, the cracked monsters that folded into the stairs were gone, but the rest of them were undaunted, and continued to pounce on Dean with a mouth full of fangs.
Dean gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands, holding the blade horizontally in front of his chest, his muscles tensing as they spring and then suddenly loosening.
The figure flashed.
Brush β
A half-moon-shaped white light rippled from the ground, passing over the ten Rift Monsters charging at the front, splitting them in two.
A silk scarf-like red splashed in midair, and ten heads tumbled to the ground, and the stumps ran forward with inertia for some distance, falling to the ground, hot blood gushing out of the flat and smooth incision in the neck.
β¦β¦
Dean rampaged through the black-pressed beasts, like no man's land.
The speed and reflexes of the Rip Monsters were so slow that they could only see a vague shadow flickering, and they couldn't touch a single hair of Dean at all, and the fangs and claws that easily tore through flesh and blood couldn't leave a white mark on his skin.
The sword light in Dean's hand shifted back and forth, left and right, and the flesh was torn apart, and the splattered blood hissed and turned into steam, leaving a path of blood and platinum flames pouring on the ground.
The shadows in the sky move at the same time.
Powerful telekinesis manipulated the heat in the space at will, condensing ten fireballs the size of an orange bed around them, and brewing thrilling destructive power in the extremely compressed flames.
As Shadow pushed out his right hand, he slammed into a burrow of beasts with a scorching wind.
Bang!
The ground shook as the explosion shook, sparks flew along with the burning corpses, rubble and dust rose up, and several Rip Monsters were blown apart by the flames in an instant.
Beneath the cave, the vines in the tunnel were swept by the explosion, and they immediately screamed and screamed in horror like a scalded mad dog.
Bang!
The second fireball landed, the third... A series of fireballs rained from the sky without stopping, like a crimson fire dragon connected from end to end, spewing the flames of death into the caverns that poured out of the monsters.
The earth cracked open under the scorching heat, and black plumes of smoke emerged, and the mournful howls of the beasts came from the mist.
But Shadow has no mercy for these monsters.
Rare opportunity to harvest soul essence wantonly, he continued to increase his killing speed, and stretched out his left hand towards the monsters,
Zizizi...
A silver-white electric current the thickness of a bucket shot out from the void in front of his palm, instantly hitting several rift monsters running wildly on the ground.
Billions of tiny arcs of electricity were entangled, and the cracks bloomed like flowers, and the blood gushed out from the mouth, and the dazzling electric light gushed out from the mouth, and then turned into flames under the effect of heat.
Zizizi...
The electric snakes that fell from high in the sky continued to strike the ground, and the lasers relentlessly swept the beasts back and forth, shattering them to pieces, and plowing blackened ravines in the ground.
This withered shadow hovering high in the sky from the world is like a bomber with an endless supply of ammunition, ruthlessly harvesting evil lives and souls.
And Dean on the ground silently wielded his blade in the roar of fireballs, earthquake-like explosions, and the sound of electric electricity, smashing flesh and composing a death music.
β¦β¦
Heaven and earth cooperated with each other, and the Rip Monsters seemed to be scrambling to jump into the crusher on their own initiative, killing more than 400 heads in just two minutes.
A massive amount of proficiency and soul essence filled Dean and Shadow's empty bodies.
Fighting LV5 (229β430/700),
Shadow Lv4 (68β368/500)
Inadequate!
Far from enough!
With each kill, the supernatural hunters draw spiritual power and life energy for them, continuing to be in perfect combat condition.
As long as the monsters keep flowing, their offensive will never end until the last one falls!
β¦β¦
But their unrestrained slaughter caused an unexpected change.
Brush β
Dean leaped forward, slashing the three side-by-side rip monsters in half, and the blood gushing out of the corpse stained his eyes red, falling to the ground, and splashing into the air with the vibration.
Well, an earthquake?
Dean's temples were pounding, and his heart was filled with extreme unease, and he couldn't help but fly into the sky to merge with the shadow.
And the group of suicide attack rift monsters at their feet raised their heads to the sky and howled, retreating into the ground like a low tide.
Then, the already dark light in the space diminished further, and the devastated ground shook violently, and rocks, charred corpses, and even low mountains soared uncontrollably into the air.
The surrounding magnetic and gravitational fields seem to have suddenly changed radically.
Bang!
A vast stream of lightning fell from the clouds, sweeping from top to bottom across the far horizon, like a blood-colored coral tree that pierced the heavens and the earth, reflecting the whole world in bright red.
In the writhing lightning, the earth under Dean's feet cracked a terrifying deep groove with a click, spreading vertically all the way to the end of the earth, and there was no edge in sight.
Its depth is immeasurable, and the 200-meter range of Dean's God's perspective is not even one hundredth.
The rift was like a scar on the surface of the planet, flashing as red as the blood of lava in the center of the earth.
Plop plop...
The red light flickered on and off with the sound of the heartbeat, and the whole earth and sky pulsated in the heartbeat.
Thump!
The behemoth threw out an unusually long black arthropod from the crack, whirring through the sky.
The arthropod was at least three hundred meters long, and its texture was not flesh in the traditional sense, but a black mist, which swirled and absorbed everything around it, like a fast-growing tornado.
Tornado-like arthropods?
Dean's pupils contracted, his figure flashed, and he teleported a kilometer away without hesitation, turning on his skills to find unstable space nodes and prepare to run away.
Bang!
Thunder and lightning.
The arthropod shuddered, and in a very soft gesture, seven more misty arthropods popped around.
The eight legs were propped up between heaven and earth, and the spinning toes made contact with the earth, immediately sucking the earth and vibrating.
The red light from the clouds and cracks in the ground illuminated its massive body of twisted black mist, and Dean finally saw it in its entiretyβan eight-legged spider.
The body reaches the top of the sky from the ground, and with its eight evenly spread feet, it covers the whole world like a cage.
It was giganser than any monster Dean had ever seen before, like a god and demon devouring the world, and its eight arthropods were covered in its cobweb hunting grounds.
Its head is spindle-shaped, with the narrow back of its head pushing up into the dark clouds, and its slightly shorter jaw has no facial features, only a black mist.
But Dean clearly felt that the big spider was staring at him from a distance of a kilometer.
This unknown being, thousands of times larger than himself, is calling to him.
Come on...
Accept me with all your heart...
Join us...
It lowered its palace-like black head towards Dean, and in an instant, slender tentacles erupted from the black mist, spinning forward and leaning towards Dean.
Familiar faces protrude from the tentacles, Lena, Catherine, Paqui, Jane... They called out in unison.
Straight into the mind, endless echoes.
Come on, Dean, receive us... All as one...
The almost irresistible hypnotic sound caused Dean to fall into a momentary state of distraction, and something was extracted from his mind, but his strong will and mirror shield expertise made him stunned for only half a second, and his pupils returned to clarity.
At this time, several black tentacles were already less than five meters away from him, wriggling like parasites, trying to burrow into his seven orifices!
Lightning reflexes!
Phantom Abyss!
The call of the underworld!
Dean unleashed countless skills in an instant, revealing a spatial rift in front of him, and hundreds of skeleton chains stretched out with a sigh of relief, enveloping one of the indescribable tentacles.
The black light of the abyss covered another tentacle, freezing it in the illusion, boiling with blinding firelight that provoked bursts of human wails and screams.
The last few tentacles of mist crossed the rift and wrapped around Dean as he drew his bow.
Woohoo β
The bowstring vibrates.
In the sound of breaking through the air, five star arrows with dazzling light hit all the tentacles, and the majestic starlight gushed out, creating five black hole-like black vortices in mid-air, instantly devouring the mist tentacles and plundering a small part of the limbs of this god-like spider forever.
Immediately after that, Dean pulled away from a node behind him at the speed of light, and then jumped in.
Brush.
Heaven and earth change color.
The dark, dead silence of the spider monster that obscured the world and the sky disappeared, and Dean returned to the sunny and snow-covered forest outside Hawkins, and immediately reached out to pull the node.
The rapidly closing crack finally revealed a devastating roar, and a terrifying black enveloped in a large fog that was frantically chasing.
But everything was sealed behind the rift.
Call... Suck...
Dean wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, gasped and leaned against a cedar, shaking his head with palpitations,
"I beat the small ones and the old ones, but this reaction is a bit too radical."
"The Rift Monster is only level 2, and this big spider is at least level 6 Natural Disaster, and it can destroy a city with a flip of the hand. But he broke through the earth and came out against me, can he do it? Shouldn't you send out a level 4 or 5 thug first? β
"What the hell is it? The 'queen bee' of the rift monster, or from the gods of the world? β
It's incredibly powerful.
Dean shot five starry arrows and only slightly injured it.
Its body was so large that the damage dealt by its tiny star arrows was limited, and it was impossible to deal with it unless there were tens of thousands.
And Dean reckoned that a nuclear bomb wouldn't be able to destroy it.
And it has other unknown abilities that have not been revealed.
"It's not something I can handle right now."
Dean sighed, this trip from the world, proficiency and soul essence brushed a lot, the illusion abyss reached lv0 (100/100), and the supernatural materials filled the space.
After meeting the spider, the progress of "Missing Jonathan" skyrocketed to 40 percent.
But he couldn't save Jonathan.
Dean took out a bottle of water from the space and drank it all in one gulp,
"That big spider is 100% eyeing me, and it wants to enslave me? I must not rush back, I have to think of a safe way to disguise, by the way, clarify the relationship between these monsters and the world, and dig out the secrets of the world. β
"Great master, you're finally back!" Not far away, behind a pine tree, a brass-colored badge flew in like a streamer, and asked curiously, "How is it, is it safe inside?" β
"More dangerous than the inside of the volcano... Do you know what this thing is? β
Dean pulled out a pen and paper, sketched out the shape of the big spider, and began to ask for advice.
