Chapter 1007: Capture Erniang

~11 min read 2,100 words

These ancient old monsters are stubborn, they don't cry until they see the coffin. Ye Qing laughed angrily, turned his head and called: "Hou Er!" A person behind him rushed forward, grabbed a whisk from his hand, and threw it forward violently.

With a "chua" sound, the fan-shaped area in front was splashed with countless ice cones.

Under this indiscriminate, large-scale attack, the smaller spiders were nailed to the ground, and the larger ones were also injured. In less than two or three breaths, frost formed on the surface of the largest cave spider elite, unable to move.

This kind of attack using ancient magic tools is called Haoshi Ice Crystal. If it were in the hands of ancient immortals, the power would be several times greater.

But of course this couldn't help Zhu Xiuer, she shook it lightly, and the frost covering the joints shattered.

Immediately after, the second wave of spiders jumped off her body and launched a charge, each one fearless of death.

Her offspring were astonishing in number, and the rustling sound of their hooks scratching the ground covered the sound of the wind.

No matter how powerful the ancient magic tools are, how many times can these Beijia people use them? Do they really think they are immortals? If it were a war of attrition, she could exhaust all the trump cards in their hands.

However, taking advantage of the time to repel the first wave of small spiders, Ye Qing took out a black ball that was not transparent, and threw it directly into the puddle in front.

The rain was getting heavier, and there was accumulated water in the pits on the ground.

As soon as the black ball entered the pit, the water level dropped instantly, and the ball expanded rapidly—

It changed, turning into a... mud man more than a zhang and a half tall.

It turned to look at Ye Qing, who pointed at Zhu Xiuer and issued an attack order: "This is the target, go!"

The mud man immediately strode toward Zhu Xiuer.

Several spiders shot white nets at it, but could only pull a piece of mud after another from it.

Black, wet mud.

Zhu Xiuer threw a big net at it, and the back end of the net stuck to the trunk of the big tree behind with a "chi" sound.

The mud man didn't dodge or evade, and was netted in the middle.

But it wasn't trapped.

It pushed forward, and the mud all over its body squeezed out from the mesh.

Just like a net can't net water, no matter how good the stickiness of the spider web is, it can't do anything about this kind of mud.

In less than a few breaths, the mud man was safely out of trouble, leaving only a lot of silt on the mesh.

It broke the fastest record of prey escaping the net at Zhu Xiuer's place.

And then it took a few strides and jumped directly onto Zhu Xiuer.

You know, the Cave Spider Queen is full of sharp thorns, and this kind of fearless spirit surprised Zhu Xiuer.

The mud man was pierced on the spot.

But it didn't care at all, as soon as it stuck to Zhu Xiuer, it became a paste, and even the human shape couldn't be maintained, turning into real mud.

It turned out that the mud man's appearance was just a cover, and its true body was a soft mud monster! A specialty of the Demon Howl Swamp in central Beijia, one of the most peculiar demon species.

From the perspective of the crowd, Zhu Xiuer was covered in mud, and the mud was still rapidly attacking the city and occupying the land, not letting go of every small gap under the spikes.

This was the first time Zhu Xiuer encountered such an opponent.

This ghost thing definitely had bad intentions, and some small spiders rushed up to the old ancestor's shell, carrying away the mud like worker ants.

But the soft mud had extended to the bottom of the spider demon's abdomen, using itself as a plug to block the spinneret! Cave spiders spray spider webs entirely by the four pairs of spinnerets under the abdomen. The tubes inside can spray liquid, which turns into silk threads when it meets the air.

With the soft mud blocking it like this, Zhu Xiuer's most handy move was temporarily abolished.

A spider demon that cannot spray silk and weave webs has its lethality reduced by at least half.

The soft mud near the spider demon's head swam rapidly toward Zhu Xiuer's eyes, then spread its body and fiercely wrapped it! Zhu Xiuer now had nine eyes, and four were wrapped in mud.

It wrapped it like this, and the spider eyes immediately grew eight legs and fled wildly!

The soft mud monster invited by Ye Qing carried a strange bee venom, extracted from three kinds of spider wasps, each of which must be extracted from the abdominal sac of a spider wasp with more than two hundred years of cultivation.

Spider wasps feed on spiders, injecting venom into the prey's body through the tail needle, making it unable to move, and then eating or injecting insect eggs.

Even if an ordinary spider wasp stings a person, it can make the whole body spasm like being struck by lightning, and the pain is so great that one rolls and screams on the ground. And after the spider wasp becomes a demon, it further specializes this venom, making its lethality to spiders increase tenfold.

And Beijia's further refining and improvement of the bee venom made this power increase exponentially.

Zhu Xiuer's eyeballs also turned into spiders and jumped up to escape, but they spasmed after running a few steps, and light green tumor-like growths actually grew on the joints.

Bee venom is injected into the spider's body, which will catalyze the growth of flesh tumors, block nerves, and release unparalleled pain.

Immediately after, the tumor-like growths began to harden, thereby expanding to the whole body of the eyeball spider.

When they rolled off Zhu Xiuer's body, they made a "thud" sound when they landed, like a wooden carving.

As soon as the eyeball spider climbed up to give up the pit, the soft mud monster rushed into Zhu Xiuer's eye socket, stretched out bee stings from its soft feet, and stabbed in fiercely!

The ancient spider demon almost cultivated into a flawless immortal, and its whole body was seamless, and its shell was incredibly hard. If you want to penetrate Zhu Xiuer's armor, either wait for the timing of her molting like He Lingchuan did back then, or—

Start from the eye socket!

The eye socket has rich optic nerves, which are relatively fragile, and after the eyeball spider ran away, it was exposed to the enemy's attack.

With such a stab, the soft mud monster poured all the venom in.

Sharp screams seemed to come from the eye socket, and light green tumors grew out, each larger than a grapefruit.

At the same time, Zhu Xiuer's wounds also showed strange changes:

Her originally smooth and hard shell was actually plated with a layer of rough wood.

Zhu Xiuer walked a few steps, like a drunkard, her movements getting slower and slower.

If He Lingchuan were here, he would see at a glance this strange spread of toxicity, which he had witnessed twice before.

Once in the Panlong world, once in reality.

Woodification Technique! Strictly speaking, this is not a human supernatural power, but a divine technique of the Heavenly God.

Wood Transformation Art! Strictly speaking, this is not a supernatural power of the human world, but a divine art of the Heavenly Gods.

This kind of divine technique works just as well on Zhu Xiuer, because it has been carefully prepared, and the spread speed is unusually fast.

Combining spider wasp venom and Woodification Technique, they don't conflict and have bonuses, and at the same time, the original version's power must be increased tenfold to take effect quickly on a powerful ancient spider demon.

This is a special effect toxin developed for Zhu Xiuer, claiming that even the ancient spider immortal body can be delayed for up to twenty breaths.

Yu Zecheng couldn't do this.

It came from the Frost Leaf National Master! "Capture the spider demon, fast!" Ye Qing ordered urgently, leading people to rush forward.

Although the special toxin of the Frost Leaf National Master is powerful, the National Master explained in advance that ordinary people who are hit by the Woodification Technique can only wait for death, but the vitality of the ancient spider immortal is too powerful, and it is very likely that the Woodification Technique and spider wasp venom will be exhausted.

This process will not last too long.

Yu Zecheng doesn't know much about the Woodification Technique and doesn't know that it mainly devours the victim's vitality, and the vitality of the ancient spider immortal who has survived to this day is so powerful that even the annihilation divine skill of the Hundred-Battle Heavenly God cannot crush it.

Therefore, this combination punch has a maximum validity period of only twenty breaths, and it must be taken at the right time and attack the spider demon's unpreparedness. If you come again, people might have countermeasures.

They must first cross the small spider group protecting the master.

Ye Qing's subordinate Hou Er grabbed three silver needles and sprinkled them toward the spider group.

The silver needles collided, and in the dark night, two became four, four became eight, eight became sixteen... splitting growth.

By the time they rushed to the small spiders, they were already dense.

Each silver needle was quenched with highly toxic poison, and those who were hit died immediately.

Fighting many with few, you can't care about martial ethics.

They had to clear the obstacles in the shortest time and take away

They had to clear the obstacles in the shortest possible time and take away the captive, Zhu Xiuer.

The poor little spiders were swept down in large numbers in an instant.

The Beijia people also successfully rushed to Zhu Xiuer's side.

The closer they got, the more they felt how massive this monster was. If it weren't temporarily unable to move, it could turn them into human meat skewers just by lifting a leg.

If it weren't far from its nest, tonight's capture operation would definitely not have been so smooth.

A thought popped into Ye Qing's mind:

Was it too smooth? Were ancient demon immortals so easy to catch? But this thought only flashed through his mind; after all, Captain Yu had been pondering this capture for half a year, and had even sent a flying message to ask State Preceptor Shuangye for guidance before finalizing this whole set of combos. It could be said that they had grasped Zhu Xiuer's weaknesses perfectly.

With the right method, demon immortals weren't that hard to catch after all.

After all, Beijia was experienced in dealing with great demons, even more so than the ordinary human nations.

As soon as Ye Qing rushed to Zhu Xiuer's side, he took out a gourd glowing with green light, pointed the mouth of the gourd at it, and shouted: "Receive!"

Yu Zecheng had long ago designed the entire capture plan. A great demon like Zhu Xiuer had astonishing self-healing abilities; not to mention that spider-bee venom and the Wood Transformation Art couldn't trap it for long, even if all eight of its legs were removed, it could grow them back in no time.

Killing it was even less feasible; Beijia was still waiting for its confession.

Then, what method could trap it and bring it back to Beijia for trial? Conventional shackles certainly wouldn't work; once Zhu Xiuer squatted on the ground, given that tonnage, who knew what kind of carriage could pull it.

In the end, they still needed magic treasures to assist.

This Green Rainbow Treasure Mount Hulu contained a small world of its own and could collect enemies who were unable to move.

Yu Zecheng was not worried about Zhu Xiuer escaping, because the gourd world was an extremely complex maze. If the owner of the gourd did not release the trapped person, according to the rules of the small world, the unlucky ones would not be able to get out without solving the maze.

According to Yu Zecheng's knowledge, the person who solved the maze the fastest still took five months. He felt that Zhu Xiuer probably wasn't that smart.
