Chapter 343: Demon King Chaos Battle!

"We can go."

He Lingchuan took out his blade and cut through the spider webs sealing the door with two slashes.

Spider silk that ordinary blades couldn't deal with was nothing to Fusheng.

He even stirred the spider webs away to avoid getting stuck. Then, the two of them covered themselves with the black cloth and lay on the Demon Puppet.

Dong Rui had already used spider shells and spider legs to rub against this cloth beforehand to cover up the human scent. Now, he patted the Demon Puppet's head. "Go!"

Once it started walking, the scene other creatures saw was just that this spider's back was arched a bit high.

However, Zhu Xiuer's spider guards weren't all made from the same mold; there were some differences, so this feature didn't attract attention.

The Demon Puppet carried the two of them through the maze and ran toward the nest entrance, much faster than human legs could run.

After running less than a dozen steps, the Demon Puppet suddenly stopped. Dong Rui whispered, "There's movement ahead!"

The yellow smoke rose into the sky without triggering the spider guard alarm of the Jiana ruins.

However, not long after, dozens of small spiders jumped out of the jungle in the west, rustling toward this place.

The sound of their movement was itself an overclocked cry for help.

Unfortunately, the spiders in the Jiana ruins didn't react.

The same kind at the entrance of the Demon Nest cave did hear the anomaly and tried their best to lift their sluggish heads to turn in that direction.

Something was rushing over, shaking the earth and mountains.

Immediately following a sharp hiss, more than a dozen behemoths rushed out of the bushes, heading straight for the Demon Nest!

Steward Zhao hugged the big tree beside him, his face bloodless. As long as he was hit by any one of them, he could go see his master.

These were clearly robust wild boars, the leader being over two zhang tall; anyone would have to look up to it. When it ran wildly, it was like a huge locomotive, but it had curved tusks a zhang long, breaking trees when it met trees, tearing down houses when it met houses, not even bothering to dodge.

This group of wild boars stepped over the bonfire, sparks and lightning flying all the way, crackling and popping, with astonishing momentum.

At their speed, the Demon Nest was reached in the blink of an eye, and they immediately began arching carts and killing spiders.

Poor spiders—the medicinal effect hadn't worn off yet, so they weren't nimble enough and were bullied by these wild boars using their size advantage. A few stomps from the big pig hooves could stomp one into a pulp.

As for the merchant caravan, they slipped away to the hillside. Steward Zhao and the others only kept shivering, while Tu Zhongli led his men to take a detour, quietly touching toward the Demon Nest.

Those dozen wild boars weren't satisfied with trampling the entrance of Zhu Xiuer's door into flat ground, so they used their big teeth to lift up the burning firewood and throw it into the Demon Nest.

Most of the firewood fell into the sinkhole and was extinguished by the water, but dozens of pieces fell into the passage.

Fluorescent spores grew everywhere here, and they couldn't withstand the firewood burning piece by piece, so they soon caught fire.

The leading wild boar puffed up its long mouth to blow air downward. That mouth was like a wind tube; one blow was a fierce, fishy wind, blowing into the Demon Nest.

Everything was in chaos.

Even if Zhu Xiuer was sluggish, could it not know when others were riding on its head and acting wildly? Before long, the fire in the cave subsided.

Every distance inside the Demon Nest was separated by dense spider webs. This kind of spider web didn't stick to people, but it had a good fire- and heat-insulating effect, superior to the mountain walls in human architecture; the open fire couldn't continue once it reached here.

Of course, the reason the fire was extinguished quickly was mainly because the spiders in the nest had rushed over and started spraying spider webs to extinguish the fire.

Immediately following, a dense spider army rushed out of the cave to fight the wild boars.

These wild boars were naturally also residents of the Demon Nest Swamp. The leading Pig Demon King had always been unreasonable, arching wildly. It had been taught a lesson by Zhu Xiuer personally several times and had had several of its cubs eaten, so they had been obedient.

However, when the Emperor Flow appeared last time, a large piece of pulp fell exactly into the wild boar territory, and the whole nest got a taste of the sweetness. Those with cultivation improved, and those without cultivation had their intelligence opened, causing the strength of the Pig Demon clan to suddenly increase, and their confidence exploded along with it.

Having endured for so long, they finally came to take revenge.

The cave spiders' webs had astonishing toughness. As long as a dozen spiders sprayed together, the overwhelming spider webs could drag most creatures in place, unable to move. Some spider guards would also spray acid. Two wild boars were unfortunately hit and were sprayed blind, so painful that they ran wildly regardless of anything.

Over a hundred years ago, General Nanke of Panlong City led over a thousand men to fight Zhu Xiuer and its descendants, but in the end, they were all defeated and died with hatred. They had Yuan Power to protect their bodies and were still like this, which showed how fierce the spider demons' combat power was.

These guys were also a multi-branch cooperation, and under Zhu Xiuer's training, they had clear rules.

Although Zhu Xiuer's family was far less prosperous than before, being able to become a local tyrant in the Demon Nest Swamp naturally meant relying on strength to speak.

However, the Pig Demon King was twice as big as its other companions, with great momentum and strength. Seeing any clansman bound by spider webs, it would rush over and push, which would be effective.

Strength overcomes ten techniques; against this kind of pure strength-type player, the spider demons' abilities were a bit insufficient.

Fortunately, at this time, Zhu Xiuer finally squeezed out of the cave entrance, climbed onto the ground along the big tree by the sinkhole, and said angrily, "Fat Pig Si, are you crazy!"

The Pig Demon King had once caught a schoolteacher and, before eating him, obtained a pedantic nickname: "Siwen Wang" (Civilized King).

It felt this nickname was great, so it equipped it.

But Zhu Xiuer looked down on it and always scolded it as a fat pig when it opened its mouth.

Siwen Wang flicked its small curly tail toward the bonfire. "Zhu Xiuer, you caught my descendants to feed to humans. Today, we settle old and new scores together!"

Zhu Xiuer divided one eye to look at the bonfire. Sure enough, half a roast suckling pig was still on the fire, charred yellow and oily. Tsk...

Of course, this wasn't the point. Siwen Wang never needed a reason to fight.

It scraped the ground, lowered its head, and rushed toward Zhu Xiuer.

The momentum was extremely fierce, but just as it pounced in front of Zhu Xiuer, the opponent suddenly flew up out of thin air.

Yes, Zhu Xiuer sprayed a spider silk toward the big tree above and hung itself up directly. This was a spider's innate skill. Don't look at its huge size; it was extremely nimble going up and down.

Siwen Wang braked sharply. If its grip hadn't been very good, it would have almost plunged into the sinkhole headfirst.

Taking advantage of this pause, Zhu Xiuer, located directly above, plummeted and crashed directly into the Pig Demon King!

The two behemoths rolled on the ground, shaking the earth and mountains.

Other creatures couldn't intervene at all.

Siwen Wang wanted to rely on its size and weight to press Zhu Xiuer to the ground, while the latter was nimble and could always quickly flip to the top, but finding an opportunity to bite wasn't that easy either.

Although Zhu Xiuer's venom was fierce, Siwen Wang's pig skin was too thick. For the spider's mouthparts to break through this layer of defense, it would take some time.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiuer wasn't panicked at all. While rolling, it was also spraying spider silk, wanting to wrap Siwen Wang layer by layer.

Its spider silk's stickiness and toughness were the best in the swamp. Siwen Wang also knew very well that once it was wrapped into a cocoon, it would be a dead end. Zhu Xiuer would definitely inject venom into its body; spiders had always treated prey this way.

Therefore, Siwen Wang used all its strength to bulge outward. Hundreds of long bristles on its body suddenly stood straight like steel needles, and with a "swoosh," they shot out.

This scene was like a lengthened version of the Rain of Pears Blossom Needles pressing the trigger to launch, after all, the length of the pig bristles when they stood up exceeded a foot. Zhu Xiuer was pressing on it; how could it dodge at close range?

It hissed long and hard, its whole body covered in pig bristles, just like a person hit by many steel nails, and even a few small legs were pierced through.

That feeling certainly wasn't good.

Taking advantage of Zhu Xiuer's loosening, Siwen Wang shrank violently, its body suddenly shrinking by a whole circle, actually squeezing out of the spider silk cocoon that was just about to form! Not to mention the other spiders being startled, Zhu Xiuer was also very surprised; it had always had great confidence in its silk web.

However, looking closely, Siwen Wang had actually left its outer shell in the silk web cocoon.

It had been rolling in the swamp mud for who knows how many years, and its whole body had long since formed a layer of thick mud shell, and with the addition of demon arts, it had become armor harder than diamond rock.

No matter how powerful Zhu Xiuer's spider silk was, it was only stuck to this layer of mud shell. Siwen Wang could discard this layer of shell, thus regaining its freedom.

In the previous few fights, it hadn't used this move; it was meant to be used at the critical moment.

However, it also suddenly stripped itself into a bare pig, and in the next battle, it would face the awkward situation of greatly reduced defense.

In terms of combat power, Siwen Wang knew very well that it was no match for Zhu Xiuer, so it immediately let out a roar that shattered eardrums, meaning:

Bastards, help quickly!

There was a rustle in the jungle behind, and a giant python rushed out of the dark tree shadows, biting Zhu Xiuer in one mouthful! It had hidden extremely well before, and even the two great demon beasts in the battle hadn't discovered it. This pounce was as fast as lightning, and all creatures felt the world go dark before the giant python, Lord Boshan, had already joined the battlefield.

The two giant wild boars blocking the way were even knocked flying by it.

Zhu Xiuer also hadn't reacted before it was bitten in the belly. Lord Boshan had specifically ambushed from the rear to avoid its sharp mouthparts.

Having succeeded in one strike, Lord Boshan immediately coiled up, wanting to strangle Zhu Xiuer's abdominal segments and several legs, causing it to lose its ability to move.

At the same time, Siwen Wang also became spirited, rushing over to bite Zhu Xiuer's head, and arching its pair of curved-blade-like tusks into its body. This was different from ordinary pig teeth; the tips had long been sharpened by Siwen Wang, and one poke was a big bloody hole.

The two behemoths worked together, as if they had forced Zhu Xiuer into a dead end in one go.

The little brothers brought by the three parties weren't idle either.

This was Zhu Xiuer's territory, and the number of spiders was the largest. Seeing the Old Ancestor trapped, the spider army immediately launched an attack on the two great demon kings. Steward Zhao on the hillside could see them densely crawling all over Lord Boshan and Siwen Wang, to the point where even their original body colors couldn't be seen.

Although the spider demons' mouthparts weren't as hard as the Old Ancestor's, they couldn't withstand the large number. Hundreds of them pierced into the skin and flesh together and injected venom, which was also hard to endure. Lord Boshan was fine, as its body was covered with hard scales that weren't easily broken, but Siwen Wang's mud armor had just been shed, and its protective power was greatly reduced. A few spider guards over a hundred years old just happened to be able to pierce its outer skin, immediately making Siwen Wang grunt in pain.
