Chapter 2236 Caught
The building materials in the Tongyue Town mine warehouse have all undergone special treatment to prevent water, fire, acid, corrosion, and blades. The entire warehouse is also protected by several layers of arrays. Even if Commander Chen were to hack and slash with all his might, he might not be able to leave a few white marks on the inner wall of the warehouse.
This centipede demon, however, managed to corrode a large hole in the warehouse with its acidic venom. If it were to spray that venom on a person, wouldn't they be instantly reduced to ashes?
Whatever you are afraid of will come.
After the powder mist was sprayed out, it quickly spread in all directions, seemingly about to cover the entire camp.
While the Spider Queen was locked in combat with it, hundreds of soldiers were watching intently from the sidelines, so the centipede demon naturally wanted to find a way to reduce the number of its opponents. Furthermore, the spreading powdery mist could conceal its presence and also facilitate its escape in the chaos.
"Get back, everyone! This is Peach Blossom Miasma!" As the poisonous fog spread, Aunt Zhu kindly reminded everyone before continuing her fierce attack on the centipede demon. Soldiers protected by Yuan Power might not die from inhaling the Peach Blossom Miasma, but they would certainly feel unwell; this stuff also had hallucinogenic properties.
Commander Chen immediately shouted, "Raise the wind pillars!"
The Spider Fairy didn't want their help; they could just stand by and watch.
Several sorcerers behind him immediately formed hand seals and started a formation.
The array had been buried underground long ago. Once activated, it formed four wind pillars around the warehouse, each with a diameter of five feet.
The powerful suction they generated instantly drew in the mist, turning its color pink in a flash.
Commander Chen dared not use the Wind Summoning Technique. If the mist was too poisonous and dissipated over the town, who knew how many people it would kill.
There were spider webs in the field, so the guards dared not approach lightly and instead aimed their arrows at the giant centipede.
The latter's skin is extremely tough, and ordinary swords and spears will deflect it. However, the arrows that the guards replaced with are called Poison Whirl Arrows, special weapons. The arrowheads themselves are covered with poison, and when combined with the soldiers' energy, once they hit the target, they will spin continuously, trying to penetrate deeper into the wound, causing greater pain to the enemy and causing stronger secondary damage.
Its body is also covered with bristles like pig bristles, which can filter out most arrows, but the few that occasionally get stuck still make it whimper in pain.
What it found most unbearable was that the spider queen's claws emitted a pale red light, and when she hugged it, she made eight holes in it.
It knew that the spider queen's cultivation level wasn't much higher than its own, but the power attached to her body—the elemental force—made it extremely wary.
The giant centipede spoke in human language: "Why should the Queen of the Cave Spider serve these weak and foolish humans?!"
"Have you been cultivating in the cave for too long and ruined your brain?" Aunt Zhu mocked it without any politeness. "Even if you had stolen something that already belonged to someone three thousand years ago, wouldn't you have gotten a beating?"
"..." The centipede was speechless for a moment, but felt that something was wrong.
Aunt Zhu continued, "Surrender immediately, and I will spare your life!"
"Such a good thing?" the centipede demon asked skeptically. "Then why did you capture me?"
"You raided four mines and seven warehouses, stole over 3,300 jin of Xuanjing (mysterious crystals), and injured more than 200 people. Lord Cang Yan will settle this score with you!"
The centipede demon was stunned, its movements slowed by half a beat, and was stabbed in the stomach by Aunt Zhu's two claws. It squeaked in pain, and a stream of green blood splattered on the ground with a hissing sound.
"Are you crazy? I only went to four of the five warehouses. I don't know who took the other two, so you can't blame me!" It won't take the blame! "I didn't take more than three thousand jin of Xuanjing!"
Aunt Zhu persisted, "How much is it then?"
"...I can't remember!" It just came out of seclusion and only stole some Xuanjing (mystic crystals) to survive. Did it have to borrow a scale from a human and weigh it by the pound? "At most, only half!"
During the fight between the two demons, Pu Hua seized an opportunity to draw his large bow and fired three arrows in quick succession.
The centipede dodged one arrow, but another shot it right in the forehead.
The arrow missed its mark, but it brought out the centipede's ferocity. It suddenly coiled up to wrap around Aunt Zhu, but she jumped away in time. The centipede demon immediately exhaled a breath in all directions.
Unlike the previous pink mist, this breath carried an aura of extreme cold. The nearby spider silk was instantly frozen, and even ice beads formed.
Even the strongest spider silk becomes brittle when frozen like this.
The centipede broke through the nearest spider web and fled.
Even Aunt Zhu was somewhat surprised; this fellow had hidden it very well, and actually possessed an ice-cold talent!
However, before the centipede could escape two hundred feet, it saw a flash of cold light in mid-air. It nimbly dodged it, but as the light reached it, it suddenly split into more than ten beams, at least two of which pierced its body and were driven deep into the ground!
The people who caught up later realized that it was a giant axe, wider than an ordinary door panel.
Immediately afterward, the bushes parted, and a figure as large as a small mountain rushed out, lowering the giant axe in his other hand to chop down the centipede's legs.
This is a giant wearing a grass skirt, over two zhang tall, fat and strong, with a mouthful of yellow teeth, and skin cracked like tree bark, the color of which resembles gray sandstone.
Its attack was accompanied by a terrifying axe wind and the faint sound of thunder.
The centipede's tail was pinned by the axe blade. Then it suddenly struggled and the front half of its body ran away, leaving only the tail hopping around in place.
Even Aunt Zhu, who had come along, thought to herself, "Did this guy learn his skills from a gecko?"
However, just as the centipede ran into the grass, a cold glint suddenly flashed there, and the centipede's entire row of abdominal legs was severed.
There are still enemies lying in ambush?!
Sun Hongye, who was looking down from the hill, saw the grass being parted and another person emerging.
Huh?
This person looks like a giant, basically a scaled-down version of him. He is only four feet tall, and the axe he is holding is as small as a toy.
Unfortunately, this toy chopped off the great demon's legs.
Don't let his shorter stature fool you; he moves faster than a spinning top.
Aunt Zhu said irritably, "You wild giants, you're late!"
The big guy scratched the back of his head: "It's pitch black, we've taken the wrong turn."
The little savage retorted angrily, "I told you not to travel at night!"
Having said that, it jumped onto the savage and merged with it in the next instant, becoming a two-headed giant.
After seeing this, Sun Hongye could only marvel at the vastness and wonder of the world.
The centipede on the ground writhed, trying to escape, but its body was suddenly coated with a red light, making it a hundred times heavier, and it couldn't even lift its head.
This means the military formation's binding spell has taken effect. It hasn't escaped the camp's array range yet.
What happened? The last time it entered the world, its army's formations clearly couldn't have been this large!
This directly led to its misjudgment.
Seeing that it had no power to resist, Aunt Zhu leaped over and sprayed out several layers of spider webs, wrapping the large centipede directly into a white cocoon.
With the battle decided, Commander Chen ordered the sorcerers to raise the wind pillars into the sky.
The powdery fog will be dispersed by strong winds at high altitudes and will no longer endanger Tongyue Town.
Just as the sorcerers were about to stop, Aunt Zhu said, "Wait!"
It turned to the giant of Maoling and said, "You come and collect the fog."
