Although the fantasy mission started not long ago, Rhodes was already deeply wary in his heart.
The sudden abnormal change disrupted Rhodes' original rhythm. He had to face the existence behind all this, which was the disciple of the King of Disease and the spider lady who spread the disease.
Following the spiders away, Rhodes soon saw something different in front of his eyes.
The nearby ground is covered with scorch marks caused by burning. A large number of spider corpses are left here, and the flames are burning on their corpses. Even so, there are still countless spiders, one after another, approaching here, trying to spread the disease in the body. to the besieged Crusaders in the centre.
Samson, the high-level swordsman who had left the house earlier, was suddenly among these crusaders.
The crusaders who were trapped here gave up the sword they were holding at this moment, picked up the burning torch, and waved it towards the ground at their feet to drive back the spiders that were approaching step by step.
Even Samson, a high-level swordsman, had to rely on the power of flames at this moment, but he did not wave the torch like other crusaders, but held the flaming sword tightly.
The flames had a good expulsion effect on these spiders. For a while, no spiders could harm the Crusaders on the field. Instead, they allowed the Crusaders to open up space for movement and display their full strength.
This discovery undoubtedly made Rhodes realize something. If flames can restrain spiders, then as long as there is a powerful caster and a wall of fire is raised, these spiders cannot get close at all.
Compared with conventional methods, spells are always the most efficient method.
As the flames burned, the situation of the Crusaders was relieved, but the nearby spiders suffered heavy casualties.
While Rhodes was observing the situation in the field, Samson shouted loudly: "We can't be trapped here! According to the patrol number, the first two teams are responsible for clearing the escape route, and the remaining people follow me to the city. Rescue.”
Perhaps the spiders that were forced back gave the high-level swordsman some confidence. Under his order, the nearby crusaders immediately took action and immediately divided into two different teams and headed in two different directions.
Noticing that the Crusaders were divided into two teams, Rhodes hesitated slightly. He could only follow one of them and had no time to care about what was happening on the other side.
After thinking about it in his mind, Rhodes made his decision. From the perspective of Ms. Spider, she will definitely not deal with the strongest high-level swordsman in the city at the beginning, but will save it for the end and clear out the high-level swordsmen's reinforcements first.
The Crusaders who stay in place and clear the passage are undoubtedly the best first choice targets. After clearing them out, Samson's power can be effectively disintegrated.
After discovering this, Rhodes stopped thinking about following Samson and his party, and instead stayed where he was, ready to see if Spider-Ms. would do what he thought.
Not long after waiting, the ground under Rhodes' feet suddenly began to tremble violently, and the nearby small stones shook and made a small crunching sound.
In the center of the Crusaders' formation, a wide gap suddenly opened in the ground. Several slender black sword blades protruded from the gap, pressing the Crusaders and their armor to the ground. For a moment, the entire Crusaders' formation All fell into chaos.
In the distance, Rhodes could clearly see the source of the abnormal change. What protruded from the crack in the ground was not a pitch-black sword blade, but a spider leg that had been enlarged countless times. The hair on it was as hard as barbs. Explained this to Rhodes.
A huge spider emerged from the center of the Crusaders' formation. Its size was several times larger than that of the Crusaders. With its rampage, the Crusaders' formation was instantly overwhelmed.
Facing the alien enemy that was several times larger, the Crusaders' daily training was completely useless. They had no idea how to face the enemy, not to mention that the threats they faced were not just from the giant spider.
Under the collision of the giant spiders, the crusaders who fell to the ground were soon covered with tiny spiders, which got in along the gaps in their armor.
Discovering something strange, the Crusader frantically scratched outside his armor, but it seemed to no avail. He couldn't take off his armor for a while, and finally fell to the ground, his life or death unknown.
Even the flames couldn't stop the giant spider's collision. Perhaps because the flame was too small, in the eyes of the giant spider, the torch held high by the Crusaders was just a small flame. For a time, the Crusaders lost all countermeasures.
Looking at the giant spider in the field, Rhodes narrowed his eyes slightly. In his perception, it should have a strength of about fifth level. If it had any special abilities, its strength could even reach sixth level.
Unfortunately, the nearby Crusaders were unable to unleash the giant spider's true capabilities, and were quickly wiped out by its collision.
Under Rhode's gaze, these Crusaders were quickly destroyed. The dark yellow viscous liquid flowed out along the gaps in their armor, and the nearby spiders sucked happily.
Even the giant spider, after destroying the nearby Crusaders, stopped its movements and lay prone on the spot, as if waiting for something.
Seeing this, Rhodes thought for a moment, then decided not to wait any longer and stepped forward.
Although Rhodes didn't know what method Ms. Spider relied on to control these tiny spiders, those tiny spiders may have informed Ms. Spider of their existence a long time ago, and there was no point in continuing to hide.
Walking out from behind, Rhodes soon came to the prone giant spider.
Being stared at by the giant spider's eight dark red eyes, Rhodes' expression remained unchanged and he asked slowly: "Are you Ms. Spider?"
"Of course it's not."
The person who answered Rhodes' question was naturally not the giant spider in front of him. The voice came from another direction.
Looking around, Rhodes saw a woman walking slowly among the large group of spiders.
She wore a long black dress and a veil around her face. Only her eyes were exposed, and her eyes were bright, like the light in the dark night.
On top of her head, there was a fat spider lying down, with eight spider legs hanging down from both sides of her cheeks, as if she was wearing a unique crown.
"Ms. Spider..." Feeling the strong aura exuding from her body, he also recognized her identity.
In addition, Rhodes also felt a familiar aura from her body, which was the aura of the King of Disease. It was exactly the same as the aura of the surrounding spiders, but it was stronger.
