Chapter 228

The battle on the city wall quickly escalated into a frenzy.

Every beastmaster fought bloodily alongside their beast companions!

As soldiers, they refused to let a single Black Gold Armor Spider enter the city.

Each Gold-rank Black Gold Armor Spider was a killing machine.

Once inside the city, they could easily slaughter hundreds of humans.

Beast companions were torn apart, beastmasters fell in battle, and countless Black Gold Armor Spiders were slain!

Su Yang, relying on his formidable defense, charged across the wall like a tank—any Black Gold Armor Spider he touched was crushed and shattered.

A Gold-rank beastmaster from Jiacheng, immersed in fierce combat, had just killed a Black Gold Armor Spider when another surged toward his flank—he felt a chill of dread.

Just as he prepared to drag the enemy into mutual destruction, he saw the Black Gold Armor Spider before him suddenly retract its sharp chelicerae and roll violently on the ground!

Without hesitation, the Gold-rank beastmaster thrust his icy, frost-laden blade straight into the spider's soft abdomen.

Was the Black Gold Armor Spider having a seizure?

But he didn't dwell on it—he ordered his beast, the Stone Colossus, to guard him and returned to battle.

He didn't notice that the corpse of the slain Black Gold Armor Spider was rapidly shriveling, as a blood-red vine slowly emerged.

Meanwhile, beastmasters fighting desperately on the wall began noticing that many Black Gold Armor Spiders suddenly lost combat capability and rolled helplessly on the ground!

At first, they paid no mind, assuming it was coincidence or accident, and simply moved in to finish them off.

Su Yang ignored this behavior—there was no time to warn them.

But when they realized this had happened to two or three Black Gold Armor Spiders, they finally caught on.

They soon noticed that the corpses of the slain spiders were rapidly sprouting blood-red plant-like beasts!

These plant-like beasts did not attack them; instead, their blood-red vines wrapped around nearby Black Gold Armor Spiders—yet the spiders' sharp chelicerae struggled to cut through the blood-red vines.

This bought countless beastmasters precious time and saved many lives!

The spores of the Hellblood Vine Flower spread with high randomness—they couldn't parasitize all the Black Gold Armor Spiders; even parasitizing half would be a miracle!

Someone shouted: "What the hell is this?"

Clearly, some suspected their comrades had caused this.

Zhu Xiaoshuang had noticed this phenomenon long ago and had been observing closely.

She shouted orders: "Don't touch those blood-red plant-like beast companions!"

A group of Gold-rank beastmasters shouted back:

"Got it!"

"I'm guarding them while I fight!"

"These guys are so cute!"

"I kinda want to fertilize them!"

"…"

Fertilize?

Better not.

Cute?

Really cute?

Su Yang smirked.

These comrades had never fought wild Hellblood Vine Flowers.

Otherwise, they'd know what hell truly meant.

On the city wall, the Gold-rank beastmasters' morale surged!

Around each of them, one or two Gold-rank Hellblood Vine Flower offshoots had taken root.

Besides their tough defense and sharp eight chelicerae, what beastmasters hated most about Black Gold Armor Spiders was their leaping ability.

With Hellblood Vine Flower offshoots nearby, whenever they tangled with a Black Gold Armor Spider for even one or two rounds, the vines would lash out and bind the damned spiders!

It was as if they'd gained a powerful control-type beast companion out of nowhere—greatly enhancing their combat power!

Soon, the entire southern wall was overrun with Hellblood Vines, blood-red vines everywhere, some hanging straight down from the wall.

Beautiful blood-red flowers swayed in the wind, their crimson powder blending into the air, leaving a sweet scent.

The surrounding air turned a pale pink.
