Chapter 431: I need more energy!

"Swish!"

The Spider Queen's massive body fell from the sky, hanging upside down in the air.

Its location was thousands of meters away from Li Yao.

And,

like a dragonfly skimming the water,

it stayed down for less than a second

before disappearing into heaven and earth again, pulled by the spider webs.

It delayed for the maximum time of five seconds to perform a brief landing.

"The Spider Queen is surprisingly cautious,"

Li Yao sighed softly.

Now he already knew

that one of the abilities of the Spider Swarm Domain was to cover the world with spider webs.

It could reduce the cooldown of 【Web Spinning】 to just one second.

However,

did running away have any meaning?

Or was it stalling for time?

The domain was called Spider Swarm.

Where was the swarm?

Just then,

countless black dots suddenly appeared on the distant horizon.

"The Dragon-Blood Magic Insects from the main battlefield."

"So, were you waiting for them?"

In Li Yao's perception, an extremely strong energy fluctuation surged outward.

The spider silk hidden in the heaven and earth wrapped around the Dragon-Blood Magic Insects flying over, one by one,

until

a thousand Dragon-Blood Magic Insects were all wrapped in silk threads, turning into white balls hanging in the air.

Looking at these countless white balls,

Li Yao had a bad premonition.

"Swish!"

In an instant, he appeared in front of a white ball.

It was at this very moment

that the Spider Queen, which had been hiding in the sky, suddenly appeared in front of the white ball.

"Even if it gets hurt itself, it wants to protect the Dragon-Blood Magic Insects wrapped in spider webs."

This action made Li Yao increasingly certain of his conjecture.

【Needle Cluster Shot】 Stage Three.

The Mystery Sword slashed out a phantom,

and streaks of blue rays shot directly at the Spider Queen.

The Spider Queen dared to appear here, so naturally, it had been prepared.

It blocked the spider's head with its two front legs.

However,

as a burst-type ultimate move,

how terrifying was the damage of the third stage of Needle Cluster Shot!?

It was unstoppable!

Two of its steel-hard thousand legs were directly blasted off.

With its momentum undiminished, the blue rays shot straight into the spider's head.

"Hiss, squeak!"

A shrill, ear-piercing wail rang out.

【- (Weak Point Attack/Critical Hit)】

Nearly 30 million HP evaporated instantly.

The entire spider head was carved out with a terrifying gap.

A large amount of dark green blood sprayed out like a fountain.

The warm blood splashed onto Li Yao's face,

but he felt no joy from the hit.

Even after suffering such a terrifying, grievous injury,

the Spider Queen still did not leave the side of this spider-web ball.

It was conceivable that

in the Spider Queen's eyes,

the Dragon-Blood Magic Insects wrapped in spider webs would definitely play an important role in the upcoming battle!

Li Yao's expression turned cold: "Rain of Arrows!"

The entire area was covered by purple stray bullet fire.

"Let's see how you block this!"

A thousand Dragon-Blood Magic Insects were spread out, covering a large range.

Rain of Arrows couldn't attack all the spider-web balls,

but it was enough!

He wanted to see just how important these balls were in the Spider Queen's heart!

"Ding, ding, ding!"

Countless stray bullets bombarded the Spider Queen.

Facing the stray bullets,

it didn't hesitate at all, choosing to block the balls with its own body.

Once wasn't enough;

with a 'swish' sound, it disappeared,

using the 【Web Spinning】 displacement ability to move faster than the stray bullets and protect all the spider-web balls in two areas.

【-】

【- (Critical Hit)】

Taking two hits from one Rain of Arrows attack, the Spider Queen was truly the first of its kind.

Of course,

this maneuver by the Spider Queen wasn't entirely useless;

it meant Li Yao's one Rain of Arrows only destroyed a few dozen spider-web balls.

During the time of the Rain of Arrows attack,

Li Yao wasn't idle either.

Purple stray bullets shot from his palm one by one,

and each one could blast a spider-web ball to pieces.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The sound of explosions was incessant.

The Spider Queen watched with eyes about to split.

A tyrannical aura poured out.

"Pfft!"

Pitch-black spikes appeared from within the spider-web balls,

just like the scene of the Spider Queen's birth.

In just a few breaths,

all the spider-web balls burst open.

At this moment, Li Yao knew why this domain was named 【Spider Swarm】.

All the Dragon-Blood Magic Insects that had flown here turned into spiders similar in appearance to the Spider Queen,

with wings on their backs,

flying in the air and eyeing Li Yao covetously.

"Swish!"

Hundreds of small spiders split into two teams:

one team charged horizontally toward Li Yao,

and one team flew toward the Spider Queen.

Li Yao raised both hands

and fired 【Void Ray ①】 at these hundreds of spiders.

【-】

【-】

【- (Weak Point Attack)】

Countless damage numbers popped up over their heads.

Looking at the degree of reduction in their health bars,

after assimilation, their overall strength was not much different from the previous Dragon-Blood Magic Insects.

Li Yao's expression was solemn as he pondered:

"If it's just assimilation, then it's completely meaningless."

"As the King of the Magic Insect race, the Spider Queen can drive these Dragon-Blood Magic Insects anyway!"

"What's going on with this color?"

As Li Yao continued to attack,

the first batch of small spiders was already on the verge of low health.

Little Master, there is more to this chapter, please click the next page to continue reading, it gets even more exciting!

Their bodies turned from pitch black to an unusual deep red,

and their bodies were still squirming.

The energy within them was boiling to the extreme.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar rang out.

A small spider burst open directly,

black smoke pouring out,

and a small mushroom cloud slowly emerged.

After a while,

Li Yao's figure shot out from the smoke and dust,

purple rays shooting out incessantly.

【-】

【-】

Attacking while retreating rapidly.

"Assimilating life, attacking recklessly when they have health,"

"and exploding directly when their health drops to the extreme."

"Even right before the explosion, their speed surges several times over to approach the target—the body turning deep red is the precursor to the speed surge."

"Truly an unsolvable ability!"

Li Yao recalled the power of the explosion just now.

If he didn't have the 【Chess Player】 talent,

his current 40, 00 stamina attribute wouldn't be enough to withstand the explosion of even one of these small spiders!

However,

all these abilities were futile in the face of absolute speed!

Li Yao erupted with his full speed,

fighting and retreating in the air,

and headed toward the Spider Queen's position.

"Let you experience the power of a small spider's explosion yourself."

Just then,

Li Yao suddenly sensed

that the Spider Queen's massive aura was climbing step by step at an extremely fast pace.

Li Yao looked back.

The other team of small spiders rushing toward the Spider Queen

was actually rushing into the Spider Queen's mouth without hesitation.

Every time a spider was chewed into minced meat by the Spider Queen,

a green light would cover the Spider Queen.

【+ 】

Besides health recovery,

the energy on its body would also climb a notch.

One or two wasn't obvious,

but there were hundreds of small spiders here!

"Energy... I need more energy!"

"To eat this powerful human, I need more energy!"
