Chapter 138 Human-Faced Demon Spider
He let out a low growl and took two steps forward without hesitation, using his mountain-like body to firmly block the truck, while also partially protecting Zhao Hai and Su Wanyue behind him.
"Dad! Stay in the car and don't come out! Lock the door!" Wang Hu's voice was like muffled thunder, carrying an undeniable determination.
Wang Changjin's face paled in the driver's seat, but his grip on the steering wheel remained unusually steady. He knew he couldn't help in this battle, and rash action would only hinder his son and Zhao Hai. He quickly pressed the door lock, his eyes fixed on the rearview mirror and the road ahead, his heart pounding, but his foot remained firmly on the accelerator, ready to press it at any moment.
The air seemed to freeze. The sound of the truck engine sounded particularly abrupt and lonely.
From the shadows came a faint rustling sound, like countless legs rapidly scraping against the concrete floor. Then, a massive outline, almost filling the backyard doorway, slowly emerged from the darkness.
It was a giant spider, its body the size of a small car, its eight long, bristly legs, their joints gleaming with a metallic black light, supporting its enormous, spindle-shaped abdomen. But what was most terrifying was not its size, but rather what should have been its head—
There were no compound eyes or mouthparts there, but instead a huge, pale, distorted human face!
The face seemed to be a painful composite of multiple faces of different ages and genders, with displaced features and an expression that mixed extreme fear, resentment, and an inhuman greed. Its "mouth" slowly opened, toothless, with only a writhing, deep purple membrane that emitted a silent hiss, yet sent a pricking pain through Zhao Hai and his companions.
Level 2 Mysterious - Human-Faced Demon Spider! It feeds on the essence of living beings and fear. Its spider silk contains mental toxins and has extremely strong stickiness and toughness. It moves swiftly and cunningly. Its human face can directly launch mental attacks and create illusions, making it an extremely troublesome predator.
This information was obtained through a sequence exchange between them and the Little Sheep Man team!
Otherwise, they wouldn't recognize this strange creature!
Despite the dizziness from its silent, human-faced shriek, Zhao Hai warned, "Watch out for its face and spider silk!"
The human-faced spider seemed to have identified its prey, and the several "eyes" on its distorted face simultaneously turned towards them. The next second, its abdomen suddenly flared up—
Chi Chi Chi!
Several nearly transparent, viscous threads shot out from its spinneret at an astonishing speed. They didn't shoot directly at the three people, but rather formed a net, precisely covering the open space in front of the truck, its sides, and the air above them. The intention was to restrict their movement and divide the battlefield! The spider silk cut through the air, bringing with it a faint whooshing sound and a sweet, cloying, and foul odor.
"Scatter! Don't get caught in the net!" Su Wanyue shouted, her figure moving like lightning as she retreated rapidly to the side and back. At the same time, her long sword was already drawn, its blade flashing like snow, precisely slashing at the spider silk that was enveloping her area.
When the blade came into contact with the spider silk, it made a muffled "thud" sound, as if it were cutting into oil-soaked beef tendon. Instead of cutting it immediately, it was stuck to the silk and pulled out a thin strand.
Instead of retreating, Wang Hu advanced. Facing the even larger spiderweb that was enveloping him and the truck, he roared and his fists glowed with an earthy yellow light as he fiercely punched forward!
The violent force of the punch created an impact that blew the first few strands of spider silk off course, but most of the silk still fell. He neither dodged nor avoided it, allowing some of the silk to stick to his body and the [Drowning Abyss Stomach Armor].
The eerie light on the surface of the stomach plate swirled rapidly. The sticky, tough spider silk, carrying a sense of spiritual erosion, seemed to be partially "swallowed" and "digested" by an invisible force the moment it touched the stomach plate area. Its stickiness and strength were greatly reduced, and it was torn off by Wang Hu's struggle.
Zhao Hai did not try to catch the spider web head-on. Instead, he slipped and narrowly escaped through the gaps in the web, while the willow wood sword in his hand trembled slightly.
"Willow Leaf - Flash Sheath!"
The sword instantly disintegrated, transforming into thirty-six thin, cicada-wing-like wooden blades with pale green edges that silently circled his body. With a thought, twelve of the blades, as if drawn by invisible threads, traced eerie arcs, bypassing the drifting spider silk in the air, and shot swiftly towards the distorted face and joints of the human-faced demon spider!
He knew that to deal with this kind of strange creature, one either had to kill it with a single blow or restrict its movements.
But it's clear that Zhao Hai doesn't have the ability to kill the Human-Faced Demon Spider with a single blow.
The human-faced spider seemed wary of the rapidly approaching blade. Its massive body moved laterally with an agility disproportionate to its size, while its pale, ashen face suddenly aimed at the flying blade—
"Sizzle—!!!"
This time, it emitted a sharp, tangible mental shriek powerful enough to tear eardrums! Visible ripples appeared in the air, and the first few willow-leaf blades to be hit instantly dimmed and their trajectories became disordered, as if they had crashed into an invisible wall and were blasted away.
Zhao Hai's head buzzed, his vision went black, and he felt a burning sensation in his nose as two streams of blood flowed down his face. This mental shock was wide-ranging and powerful!
Su Wanyue was also affected by the shriek, her movements faltering, and she almost got her ankle entangled by another strand of spider silk that followed. Wang Hu roared, the sound wave containing the savage blood energy of his giant sequence, which slightly dispersed some of the effects of the mental shock. He suddenly grabbed a broken cement slab from the ground and slammed it into the demon spider's abdomen like a cannonball.
Chi Chi Chi!
More spider silk shot out from the abdomen of the human-faced demon spider as if it were alive. This time, it was no longer a scattered web, but was condensed into several sticky "javelin" about the thickness of a finger with barbs at the front. They were shot at the three people who had just stood firm, with precision and ruthlessness, clearly showing that they had a very high combat instinct.
"Get out of the way!" Su Wanyue's eyes flashed sharply. The mental shriek from before still made her ears ring, but her instincts as a swordsman allowed her to twist her body at an angle that almost defied the laws of physics the instant the spider silk javelin was about to hit her. Her longsword swung up in the process, and a layer of incomparably sharp pale white light condensed on the blade—"Edge Breaker!"
"Thud!" The blade struck a spider silk javelin with pinpoint accuracy. This time, it wasn't a muffled thud, but rather like cutting through extremely tough rubber. The javelin snapped in two, spraying out a few drops of purplish-black, foul-smelling viscous liquid from the break. However, Su Wanyue was also pulled back half a step by the impact.
Facing the two spider silk spears aimed at him, Wang Hu neither dodged nor evaded, but crossed his fists in front of his chest to protect himself, and the 'Drowning Abyss Stomach Armor' on his body shone with a dark light. "Abyss Devour!" he roared, and took the initiative to meet the attack.
