Chapter 362 - 291: Entering the Nest, Blocking the Corpse Refining Sect Members! (Double - )
More and more Spider Demons emerged from underground, seemingly having dwelled deep below for many years.
No wonder that despite the extensive search over thousands of miles of Spirit Crystal Veins, this Spider Demon nest was never discovered.
Spider Demons that can burrow underground and stay hidden truly are unexpected.
Now, after repeated failures to seize the crystal veins, this swarm of Spider Demons has chosen to come out in full force.
The number of Spider Demons following these three ancient ancestors ranges in the thousands!
In this barren wilderness, given the scale and power of this Spider Demon swarm, ruling over this entire forested area and deterring other Demon Races from invading would likely pose no significant issue.
"Have these Demon Races completely abandoned everything for those Spirit Crystal Veins?" Song Changming felt somewhat puzzled.
Within the borders of the Ancient Abyss Country, countless Demon Races thrive, inheriting their Demon Blood over thousands of years, focusing on the continuation of their species.
Though a single Spirit Crystal Vein is tempting, it shouldn’t provoke such madness, exhausting all resources to compete with the Human Race Army within human territories.
"Or perhaps my understanding of the Demon Race is still too shallow..."
Song Changming silently pondered, though his hands and feet moved swiftly, following Fu Yuan into the battle.
Regardless of whether it was a Half-Demon form or Demon Beast in their true form, they were slaughtered without hesitation.
Throughout over a year, the two fought together countless times, forming a team with quite a bit of tacit understanding and cooperation.
Song Changming greatly appreciated Fu Yuan.
Whether on the battlefield or in private, he was reliable and trustworthy.
It was understandable why Xing Tiexin relied heavily on Fu Yuan.
However, gradually, as Song Changming pressed on killing Spider Demons, Fu Yuan began rescuing people.
This was something Fu Yuan often did.
Seeing soldiers in imminent danger on the battlefield, he couldn’t bear it at times and would intervene without losing the strategic advantage.
Many soldiers in the army owed their lives to Fu Yuan, to the point where Song Changming was accustomed to it, calmly continuing the demon slaughter.
Unconsciously, Song Changming had fought his way near the vicinity of the three large underground pit holes.
Some Spider Demons surrounding him seemed hesitant to approach.
They were scared by Song Changming’s relentless slaughter, knowing rushing forward would result in their demise.
Song Changming stood at the edge of the pit holes, allowing his senses to spread and probe inside.
He also noticed that other generals had slaughtered their way through the demon swarm to the vicinity of the pit holes, not just him.
Even a few generals attempted to fly into the pit holes but were beset by the Spider Demon swarm, forced to retreat.
Suddenly, Song Changming’s eyes narrowed; he moved and entered one of the pit holes.
The pit was extremely deep, filled with soil and rubble below.
Occasionally, Spider Demon Beasts crawled out from within, climbing out of the pit to the surface.
Thunder Light flashed around Song Changming; he stomped heavily, causing the Thunder Light to rush through, vibrating the soil and rubble to float and rise.
The next moment, he noticed at the pit’s bottom, beneath the soil and rubble, it resembled a cut-open beehive.
There were pathways that appeared before him, from which these Spider Demon Beasts emerged.
Song Changming squinted slightly, following his senses, directly entering a cave on the pit wall side.
These cave entrances for the Spider Demon Beasts were relatively spacious and not cramped.
However, perhaps due to the three Spider Ancient Ancestors hurriedly burrowing out, many cave paths were damaged, collapsing and buried.
Song Changming entered, risking being buried alive underground.
Within the cave, as he proceeded, he saw many broken bodies of Spider Demon Beasts, filling the cave with a stench.
Thud!
A hefty figure over two meters tall lifted the severely injured Spider Demon slowly.
"No..." The Spider Demon pleaded painfully.
But the next moment, the hefty figure tore the Spider Demon into two with bare hands, violently!
A damp breeze blew, knocking off the hood of the hefty figure, revealing a face full of stitches.
Its eyes showed an eerie green glow, emitting a lifeless aura from its body.
"Should be just ahead." Nearby, several hooded figures in black cloaks stood, with one seemingly muttering.
Their voice echoed in the tunnel, deep and somber.
"Speed up."
The entire tunnel shook due to the battle above, threatening to collapse, hastening their pace.
They quickly approached a broad wetland with the moist air ahead.
Sunlight penetrated through cracks above, brightening the place.
A large, icy cold pond lay within.
Careful observation revealed thin streams of water trickling in from cracked rock crevices, forming the pond.
Apart from the pond, thick webs covered the rock walls, with clusters of spider eggs hanging like grapes, tangled amidst webs, resembling the Silk Cave.
The remaining Spider Demon Beasts shrank fearfully, watching the intruding figures.
Their clan had already launched a full assault against the Human Race Army; those left in the cave were old, weak, and unable to resist the Human Race Martial Artists.
"Look what we have here!" One figure removed their hood, stepped forward two paces, showing greed in their eyes, gazing at a pile of glittering items in a corner behind the web.
