Venomous Spider
The only words that could describe them were these three. They had evolved from Zombies into beasts, their Human-Faced Spider faces still present but hidden beneath long strands of hair, their entire bodies resembling tangled balls of thread.
Despite this, Zheng Yifan showed no intention of observing them; in fact, he was on high alert. His lethality had been significantly reduced. He was suited for close combat as the Avatar of the Believers, and although he still had strength, facing a spider with potent venom would be a real challenge.
Just like now, there was no immediate reaction; this spider had already demonstrated its formidable abilities. The toxins on the ground had vanished, yet an eerie atmosphere lingered in the air.
After Li Ning dispelled its toxic attack, he charged forward with urgency. He needed to eliminate this Zombie as quickly as possible; otherwise, they might find themselves in trouble.
The form of this Zombie made Li Ning feel a sense of danger. This Zombie could truly be considered a Spider Zombie. But who knew if this Fellow was just a subordinate? There was still a leader above it.
It was important to note that the Zombie they faced now could only be regarded as a minor threat. Even so, it possessed the strength of a Sixth Tier.
And now, this spider still held Sixth Tier power, but its lethality had sharply increased due to its venom.
A strange scent filled the air, followed by purple light emerging from the ground.
Now its toxin began to transform, making the poisonous mist more delicate, as if light enveloped the surroundings.
When Zheng Yifan sensed this toxin, his expression changed immediately. He recoiled sharply and pulled Li Ning behind the wall for cover.
He noticed that the walls around them seemed to melt away like ice cream, slowly dissolving.
This was terrifying; the toxin had transformed into something radiant. It became increasingly difficult for Li Ning to gather these toxins.
Although the lethality had been significantly reduced, the insidiousness of the situation was akin to boiling a frog in warm water. Just moments ago, there had been a chance to fight back, but now they truly found themselves helpless.
In desperation, Zheng Yifan could no longer afford to worry about the brothers trapped inside. If they didn’t launch a powerful attack, those brothers were doomed, and the people outside might also end up sacrificing themselves.
“Attention all personnel outside, retreat immediately to the city outskirts! If you encounter Venomous Spiders or any Zombies, evade them swiftly. No active engagement is permitted!” Zheng Yifan commanded without hesitation. These creatures were terrifying; anyone who came into contact with them was certain to die.
“Yes! Leader!” The warriors outside received the order and began their retreat at once. They understood that there was little they could do in this battle; their main task was to wait for the Primordial Pearl to stabilize before reaping its benefits. Then they would harness the power of the Primordial Pearl to start attacking the Zombies.
They could even hold their ground here and gradually expand their defensive perimeter.
This was humanity’s forte: defending a city.
Compared to Zombies and beasts, humanity's greatest advantage lay in fortification. Building cities and defending them was the strongest method in everyone’s mind and the only way humanity had survived thus far.
Even if they were merely hanging on, they were utilizing the advantages of terrain, and building a city was clearly the ultimate use of that terrain.
Creating a landscape suited to themselves was an unbeatable strategy against Zombies and beasts. More importantly, it minimized attacks from behind, reducing the chances of being caught in a pincer movement.
Now they began their retreat. Zheng Yifan also started gathering the Power of Faith, as his Silver Spear began to absorb energy frantically. The Adamantium Shield merged once again with the Silver Spear, or perhaps it was just an ornament on the Silver Spear.
Regardless, it seemed somewhat nonsensical; however, the Power of Faith began to coalesce. The strength of the Silver Spear gathered while the Adamantium Shield started amplifying it. These two weapons complemented each other perfectly.
At that moment, Zheng Yifan suddenly charged forward.
During this time, the Venomous Spider had begun to slowly release a strange toxin from the ground. The purple gas spread across the surface, corroding everything in its path.
Especially at the gap in the ground, a hole had already started to form due to the corrosive effects.
Below, a swarm of spiders could be seen slowly crawling out. They seemed unafraid of the toxin, as if it were a powerful elixir. Their bodies radiated a purple glow, moving with increased speed and strength.
Well, perhaps for them, that purple Venom was indeed a tonic.
"Die!" Zheng Yifan shouted angrily, his Silver Spear breaking through the half-centimeter thick wall behind him that had been corroded. He charged forward, aiming directly at the Venomous Spider.
In an instant, he moved at what seemed to be light speed; this was the fastest pace and strongest attack Zheng Yifan could muster.
It was also his most powerful strike within a short range.
With a hum, it felt as if the air had been completely torn apart, creating a powerful vibration in midair, and then the entire building began to collapse.
The immense force was enough to devastate this ordinary reinforced concrete structure with just a slight dispersion of energy.
Moreover, this place had already been nearly destroyed by the Venomous Spider. The load-bearing walls were almost entirely corroded away.
Zheng Yifan's power coalesced forcefully; there were no fancy names or techniques involved. It was simply the most ferocious and concentrated thrust of his spear.
This time, he wasn't using any flashy methods; against the spider before him, he needed to unleash his strongest attack.
He could sense that this thing possessed formidable resistance to impact, capable of countering sharp weapons and even possibly turning them against their wielder. If he didn't use his strongest attack, the chances of returning empty-handed were quite high.
The sudden surge of momentum infected Li Ning, who had already retreated outside.
Then, it was as if a bomb had exploded. A yellow light radiated from the entire building, followed by an unexpected explosion.
At that moment, Zheng Yifan was already suspended in mid-air, having left the City Hall building, though his face was pale.
After his attack, he had intended to leave City Hall immediately. However, he soon realized that the ground beneath him began to tremble. The building appeared to melt in a bizarre manner, resembling ice cream.
His attack had merely reduced the structure to rubble.
Though his power was immense, it lacked the ferocity of that overwhelming force.
In that instant, a sharp sense of alarm surged within him, prompting him to retreat hastily.
Now looking back, a purple glow surged amidst the ruins, and on the ground began to emerge billions or perhaps tens of billions of Human-Faced Spiders, appearing like a torrent.
Li Ning hurriedly fled from the scene. (To be continued)
