Chapter 115: The Poison Spider
Chapter 115: The Poison Spider
"You probably don't know how high the death rate of night watchmen is." Yang Qing kindly reminded.
"I know, but I worked as a night watchman and earned some money. My sister's disease can still be cured, and I am not doomed to die.
But if I don’t take this step, my sister will be completely hopeless.
No matter what, I have to live up to her calling me brother."
The young man said this calmly.
"Then I wish you good luck, and hope you can get through the next few days safely."
After hearing this, Yang Qing didn't know what to say.
"Next, please go and give a tip-off. A night watchman has just been sacrificed here, and his flesh and blood has been made into a flag. The specific identity needs to be verified by the higher-ups. The perpetrator has also been killed by me. He should be a follower of the Pantheon.
You will take this information out and lead the follow-up Night Watchmen to come over."
"Yes, Xin Zhuo complies with your order."
The young man named Xin Zhuo listened carefully, looked around, saluted to Yang Qing, and then turned and ran in the direction he came from.
At the same time, on the outskirts of the south city, a portly night watchman rushed out from a cave entrance. With a wave of his finger, he cut a first-level evil spirit in half. Then, the sword energy continued, and in a few breaths, all the evil spirits around the cave entrance were killed.
"Damn it, after all this fuss for most of the night, it turns out this is the entrance to the tunnel! This is incredible."
The night watchman looked around the cave entrance, and then a message firework was released from his hand.
In a tunnel more than ten kilometers away from him, the mantis-shaped shikigami named Mushikama had his head smashed by a huge hammer from a burly night watchman.
In another tunnel, the ghost monkey was like a puddle of mud, and was picked up by a night watchman with a spear. Then a ball of red light burst out from the tip of the spear, completely blowing through the ghost monkey's body.
As for the fellow named Graybeard, he was stuck tightly by three Night Watchmen in the tunnel. He only relied on his unexpected digging skills to keep a certain distance from the Night Watchmen behind him.
But among the several Night Watchmen who were tracking him, there was also one who was good at earth-based hand seals. He had one hand using the Mountain Moving Seal and the other hand using the Sand River Seal. Together, they could turn rocks into quicksand and move them away in an instant, hardly affecting their pursuit.
Combined with the methods of the other two, it is only a matter of time to kill the Shikigami named Huixu.
At this point, except for the leader Kondo Yugi, the rest of the Kondo Seven can be said to have been completely wiped out.
As time goes by, this underground raid is gradually coming to an end.
Of course, this is just what the Night's Watch leaders think.
In a large naturally formed cave somewhere, white spider cocoons were hanging upside down in the air like sacks.
If someone were to roughly count them right now, there would be at least hundreds of such spider cocoons.
Many spider cocoons still tremble from time to time, as if the lives contained inside are still alive.
At the same time, the cave is covered with floc-like spider silk, and one can vaguely see the originally simple houses, walkways, and various stone objects under the spider silk.
Who could have imagined that the largest underground ghost market in Hengzhou Prefecture would actually become like Hell.
The once bustling places had long been slaughtered. Those who did not have time to escape were either killed and devoured by evil spirits, or turned into cocoons by these spider webs, waiting to be slaughtered.
A human-faced spider as big as a millstone is entwined at the top of the cave. Any life that enters this forbidden area will become its prey.
Kondo Yugi, the leader of the Kondo Seven, is proficient in Akita Yin-Yang magic and Ronin swordsmanship, and his shikigami is named: Jigumo.
Different from the shikigami under his command who were all ordinary mountain spirits and monsters, his shikigami, the poisonous spider, was a real evil spirit.
It was the contract he signed with the native evil spirit of the Demon Realm when he went deep into the cracks of the Demon Realm to participate in the trial on Akita Island.
blah blah blah!
A stone was accidentally kicked aside amid the sound of footsteps, and a group of three night watchmen accidentally broke into the ruins of the ghost market.
The person leading the group immediately spotted a giant spider with a human face - the poisonous spider - hovering in mid-air.
The footsteps of several people also startled the other party, and a millstone-sized poisonous spider swung its spider silk and pounced towards them.
"Liuli asks for fire, Zhuxia becomes flames, burning with thousands of rays of light, all evil disappears. Burn!"
The night watchman who was in the lead formed seals with his hands and used the Glazed Fire Seal. The thick flames hit the poisonous spider that was rushing towards him.
The poisonous spider let out a scream, then curled up into a ball with a burnt brown smell all over its body, rolled to the side, and after landing, hurriedly fled into the depths of the ghost market.
"Evil spirits are evil spirits. They have no idea what attribute restraint is. My Glazed Fire Seal can just restrain these evil insects.
"Wang Xingyi, there are still things moving in these spider cocoons. Check carefully. If they are humans and still alive, rescue them. I will deal with the evil spiders."
"Okay, then you should be careful. I don't think the evil spirit that can cause such a big scene is simple."
"Don't worry, I'm the best at killing spiders. It's been burned by my Liuli Fire Seal. I'll be able to kill it in a moment."
"Okay! Then go quickly and come back quickly. This will be your first credit."
"Hey, alright!"
After saying that, the night watchman chased in the direction the poisonous spider escaped, leaving Wang Xingyi and another night watchman to rescue the creature trapped in the spider cocoon.
Tear!
Wang Xingyi chopped at one of the still "struggling" spider cocoons with his sword. His superb swordsmanship just created a crack in it without damaging anything inside.
Through the open gap, a pale face and some night watchman's clothes were revealed.
"Brother Ye! But it's Brother Ye Jikai!"
Wang Xingyi never expected that the first spider cocoon he rescued turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Yes... yes, it's me."
A weak reply came from the open cocoon, and the voice was extremely feeble.
"Okay, okay, Brother Ye, wait a moment, I'll rescue you right away.
Brother Bai Qi, it seems that the cocoons are filled with civilians or colleagues who have been captured by the evil spirits. There are too many of them. Let's split up. I'll take care of this part, and you'll rescue the other part."
"it is good!"
The night watchman Bai Qi responded and rushed towards the spider cocoons hanging upside down in the distance.
Wang Xingyi swung the sword in his hand, and a stream of sword energy cut the spider silk hanging the cocoon. Then he took a step forward and caught the falling cocoon with both hands.
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Ye, I, Wang Xingyi, am here to save you."
Just as he hugged the spider cocoon, the night watchman Wang Xingyi felt a pain in his abdomen and his eyes unconsciously looked downwards.
A skeleton arm emerged from the cocoon and pierced through his abdomen.
And inside the spider cocoon, his good friend "Ye Jikai" was staring at him with a pair of spider-like compound eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
Then the skeleton arm slowly retracted, and in its palm, it was holding Wang Xingyi's heart.
"Cough! Cough!"
Wang Xingyi was filled with remorse at this moment. He wanted to remind his colleague Bai Qi, but he could no longer speak. He turned around and saw Bai Qi approaching a spider cocoon with a happy expression on his face.
After a while, a spider as big as a millstone returned to the cave, holding a corpse in black in its jaws. After a while, the entire ghost market site returned to peace again.
And in the cave, there were three more spider cocoons, which shook from time to time.
