Many people, when faced with a crisis, unleash an infinite potential driven by their survival instincts.
Ye Huan was no exception. As he climbed up the steep hillside, using both hands and feet, his speed noticeably increased. He even managed to advance to a position parallel to Weiyang, creating some distance from the Black-Bellied Bear Spider. It was only then that he had time to glance upward, and to his surprise, a figure was hurtling down toward him…
The heavens can be unpredictable, and fortunes can change in an instant. Perhaps it was a cruel joke from fate; in this moment of crisis, the little princess seemed somewhat flustered. As she continued her ascent toward the peak, she had completely forgotten that she was still wearing a split cheongsam.
With her movements becoming more vigorous, the hem of her cheongsam swayed in the wind. Finally, in a moment of carelessness, the skirt snagged on a pile of dead wood. Losing her balance, the little princess fell backward, landing directly above Ye Huan…
“Holy crap!”
Noticing the little princess's round backside aimed right at his head, Ye Huan shouted and leaped aside without caring that a Fifth-Level Magical Beast, the Black-Bellied Bear Spider, was still pursuing them. He even reached out to pull Weiyang along.
Caught off guard by Ye Huan's sudden tug, Weiyang stumbled and fell face-first into the ground, dazed and confused about why Ye Huan had pulled him. Before he could lift his head to ask, plop! The little princess landed squarely on top of him.
“Little Princess, are you alright?” At that moment, having narrowly escaped disaster, Ye Huan lifted the little princess with his left hand and asked. His right hand gripped the handle of his M4A1 assault rifle tightly, keeping its dark muzzle aimed behind them.
Meanwhile, the Black-Bellied Bear Spider, which had lagged behind Ye Huan and Weiyang by some distance, had now closed in to within three meters of them.
Once again, Ye Huan pulled the trigger. The crisp sound of the M4A1 startled the little princess so much that she covered her ears tightly; it was clear she was terrified of this weapon from the Twenty-First Century.
However, perhaps due to its intelligence or experience from being shot multiple times, the Black-Bellied Bear Spider learned to block. It used its octopus-like limbs to shield its central body…
Ye Huan's marksmanship was already not very good. After the Black-Bellied Bear Spider began to defend itself, his M4A1 could barely pose any threat to it. Occasionally, a couple of stray bullets hit its powerful limbs but only caused it to bleed a few drops of deep green blood.
After emptying his magazine, Ye Huan realized this approach wouldn't work. With a swift motion, he made his M4A1 vanish from his hands and summoned a brand new one from thin air.
Continuing to fire at the Black-Bellied Bear Spider, Ye Huan kicked Weiyang—who was lying on the ground pretending to be dead—and shouted loudly: “Weiyang! Hurry! Take the little princess and get out of here! I’ll hold it off for a bit…”
With that said, Ye Huan released his grip on the little princess and summoned another M4A1 assault rifle. Holding it with both hands, he began shooting at the Black-Bellied Bear Spider. His stance resembled that of a futuristic warrior from a Twenty-First Century movie; all he lacked was a pair of sunglasses.
Hearing Ye Huan’s command, Weiyang lifted his face from the rubble at the mountaintop. Ignoring the bloodstains from where rocks had scraped him, he shook his head and grabbed the little princess before continuing their climb up the mountain. He didn’t forget to call back to Ye Huan: “Be careful!”
Gradually, as Weiyang and the little princess distanced themselves from him, Ye Huan continued repeating his earlier actions: shooting and summoning weapons in an endless cycle. It was clear he had made up his mind to wear down this Fifth-Level Magical Beast—the Black-Bellied Bear Spider—by sheer force of ammunition.
Was the Fifth-Level Magical Beast really that ordinary?
After enduring countless hits, the Black-Bellied Bear Spider slowly opened its strong limbs and mouth. From within, a yellowish orb emitted a faint wave of earth-type magic, causing an unusual reaction in the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy that made Ye Huan sense something was off.
Suppressing the unease rising within him, Ye Huan took a cautious step back toward the mountain peak, still holding his M4A1 assault rifle aimed at the Black-Bellied Bear Spider.
As Ye Huan retreated over ten meters, the magical wave from the yellow orb intensified, and its shape began to transform from a sphere into that of a spear. This powerful magical energy even reached Weiyang, who was carrying the little princess away.
Turning back in surprise, Weiyang shouted to Ye Huan, "Ye Huan, be careful! That's a Fourth-Level Mage's Earth Spear!"
Just as Weiyang's warning left his lips, the earth-type spear shot out from the Black-Bellied Bear Spider's mouth with a fierce wind, reaching Ye Huan in an instant—too fast for him to react.
Boom! The deafening sound echoed as the Fourth-Level Mage's Earth Spear slammed into Ye Huan's chest, propelling him toward the mountain peak. Fortunately, Ye Huan was still wearing Dragon Scale Armor; the Earth Spear did not penetrate its formidable defense. However, the violent impact forced Ye Huan to spit out a mouthful of blood mid-air.
Like a brilliant meteor streaking across the sky, Ye Huan flew past Weiyang and the little princess, crashing directly into Zhang Ren, who was running ahead. The force knocked Zhang Ren flat against the ground, leaving him bewildered and confused about why he had become an unwitting victim of this disaster.
Luckily for Ye Huan, Zhang Ren acted as a cushion; otherwise, he might have been more seriously injured. The Fourth-Level Earth Spear dissipated into thin air after its impact.
Coughing up more blood, Ye Huan struggled to stand up and looked down at the Black-Bellied Bear Spider. Instead of showing any signs of despair, he coldly smiled and revealed two M67 fragmentation grenades in his hands.
Earlier, when he had been too close to the Fifth-Level Magical Beast Black-Bellied Bear Spider, those grenades hadn't been very useful. But now that he was at a safe distance of twenty or thirty meters—where their lethality posed no threat to him—he decided to use them without hesitation.
Skillfully pulling the safety pins from the grenades, Ye Huan hurled them around the Black-Bellied Bear Spider. He wanted to see whether Hell Serpent's defenses were stronger or if this Fifth-Level Magical Beast had tougher skin!
Feeling that two M67 fragmentation grenades might not be enough, Ye Huan angrily summoned his 2012 Arms Compendium. Grenade after grenade emerged from it as he continued throwing them toward the Black-Bellied Bear Spider.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The continuous explosions filled the mountainside with smoke and chaos. Debris scattered everywhere; some plants were reduced to charred remains. As for the Black-Bellied Bear Spider caught at the center of the explosions, it was riddled with bloody holes from shrapnel like a beehive, green blood oozing from its wounds.
As the smoke gradually cleared and Ye Huan assessed the situation before him, he collapsed against the mountainside in an X shape, gasping for breath as the 2012 Arms Compendium vanished from sight.
He won! Facing a Fourth-Level Mage Black-Bellied Bear Spider, Ye Huan never imagined he would emerge victorious!
That said, if there was anyone to blame, it could only be the unfortunate Black-Bellied Bear Spider. Of all the spells it could have used, it chose to attack Ye Huan—equipped with Twenty-First Century high-tech gear—with an Earth Spear, a spell that focused its attack on a single point. This gave Ye Huan the opportunity he needed.
Moreover, Ye Huan had not come out unscathed. Although his body bore only a few superficial wounds, he was acutely aware that his internal organs had sustained significant impact. The two consecutive coughs of blood left his face pale.
"Hey, Weiyang, what are you doing?"
Just as Ye Huan was gasping for air through the pain, the voice of the little princess suddenly rang out. Turning his head, Ye Huan caught sight of Weiyang running toward the Black-Bellied Bear Spider with his plump backside wiggling. Midway, he even summoned a blade of wind.
When Weiyang reached the corpse of the Black-Bellied Bear Spider, he seemed oblivious to the deep green blood pooling around him. Controlling the wind blade, he made a cut in the spider's abdomen and reached inside, seemingly searching for something.
Before long, Weiyang appeared to find what he was looking for. A smile crept onto his face as he pulled his hand out, causing a torrent of deep green blood to splatter everywhere—some even hitting Weiyang's face. The scene was as disgusting as it could get, making Ye Huan feel nauseous.
Turning away in disgust, Ye Huan decided not to look at Weiyang anymore. He wanted to rest quietly for a moment. However, at that moment, Weiyang came running toward him. As he passed by the little princess, she was so startled that she jumped aside, clearing a path for him.
Weiyang quickly reached Ye Huan's side and patted him on the shoulder. Slowly extending his hand toward Ye Huan, deep green blood continued to drip from Weiyang's fingers. In the palm of his hand lay a bead that glimmered with a sickly green light.
"Eat it..."
Weiyang smiled at Ye Huan and gestured with his mouth while wearing an expression that seemed to convey concern. Yet to Ye Huan, there was always something sinister about Weiyang's smile...
