Chapter 169: Chapter 164 Spider Empress Mission
In the darkness, eight colossal Blood Moons illuminated, casting a sinister crimson glow, hanging high in the sky…
No, those weren’t moons.
They were four pairs of blood-red eyes!
The gaze was indifferent, fierce, mad, furious… staring directly at the players.
In an instant, several players felt a piercing chill sweep from head to toe, their minds going blank.
“Shit!”
“Shit!”
“What the hell is that?!”
They were stunned.
Suddenly, the giant eyes moved, accompanied by a thunderous roar, a massive shadow enveloping their tiny bodies.
An overwhelming pressure descended upon them, causing several players to instinctively shiver, their movents sluggish.
They looked up, shocked at the terrifying creature before them—
A gigantic body that blocked out the sky, with sinister, tal-like spider legs gleaming coldly, and barbed, insect-like armor shining like a steel plate…
This was an Earth Cave Spider of enormous size, tens of ters tall!
In its presence, the players felt so insignificant, like ants beneath a foot in a previous life.
Even when facing Black Dragon Mairrel, they had never felt like this!
Beneath it, countless small, nurous large, and several gigantic Earth Cave Spiders began to gather.
They clustered around the colossal spider, as if guarding their master…
All the spiders stared coldly at the players.
Their movents were synchronized, their gaze icy, sending shivers down one’s spine.
“*We’ve really ssed up this ti…*”
“Run!”
Several players, shocked in their hearts, turned and fled.
As they escaped, the colossal Earth Cave Spider let out an enraged howl once more,
“Screaaah——!!!”
Its voice was filled with uncontrollable anger.
Upon closer inspection, one could see scorched marks on its carapace…
Left by the recent explosion.
Following its command, an army of countless spiders instantly chased after the players!
The colossal spider also moved its massive, slender legs, following them.
As it moved and collided, the entire mine shaft began to collapse, the ground shaking as if an earthquake had struck…
The Array drawn by the players also shattered as the shaft collapsed.
“Shit! The Array’s destroyed! Move!”
“How could there be such a giant creature? This size is so broken!”
“Stop talking, just run!”
Several players reached the Skywell and began desperately climbing up.
However, under the oppressive pressure, their speed was still too slow.
The spider army quickly caught up, overwhelming them…
“Screaaah——!!!”
The colossal spider let out another screech.
At the sa ti, all of Rivendell began to tremble.
“What’s happening? An earthquake?”
“I think I just heard sothing…”
All players exploring within Rivendell beca alert.
Then, they were shocked to find countless Earth Cave Spiders surging out from various places.
The Earth Cave Spiders, eyes bloodshot, started attacking the players frantically, as if they had lost their minds, startling them.
“What’s going on?”
“What’s driving these spiders mad?”
“No way, there are too many! Pull back outside the ruins…”
Players exploring in various relic buildings fell into chaos and began retreating under the threat of the spider swarm.
“Screaaah——!!!”
And just then, everyone heard an enraged roar once again.
Players retreated from the depths of the ruins, reaching the surface of Rivendell.
By then, the tremors in the ground had beco even more intense…
Suddenly, soone saw Hu Lu and a team mber awkwardly scrambling out of a mine shaft, fleeing frantically…
The players were montarily stunned.
As the server’s most powerful battle team, it was the first ti they had seen Hu Lu in such a sorry state.
“Hu Lu, what happened?”
The players asked curiously.
“Run! The big spider is coming!”
The Elf Warrior player fleeing with Hu Lu shouted.
Big spider?
The other players were montarily stunned.
Was it another giant spider guarding an underground cave?
“Rivendell also has a guardian spider?”
They asked.
“No, it’s even bigger!”
The Elf Warrior shouted back as he ran faster.
Bigger?
Just how big?
The players were dumbfounded.
They still wanted to ask more, but saw the ground suddenly split open, and amidst scattering rocks, a tallic spider leg several dozen ters long protruded…
“Shit!”
“Shit!!”
Upon seeing the spider leg several dozen ters long, they all instinctively exclaid with the classic Tianchao people’s phrase…
With the spider leg, countless small Earth Cave Spiders crawled out from the ground fissures.
They gathered on the ground, densely packed, their numbers quickly breaching a hundred, then a thousand in an instant…
Like… a swarm of locusts covering the sky.
They just couldn’t fly.
At the sa mont, the ground shook once more, and an awe-inspiring figure broke through the earth!
It was a gigantic Earth Cave Spider standing dozens of ters tall…
Similar in appearance to ordinary Earth Cave Spiders, but with a much larger belly, a more nacing look, and a shell that glead with a tallic sheen, its eight red eyes hung like blood moons…
Gazing at the enormous figure, the players were all stunned.
*Where was this a big spider, it was super-sized!* they thought.
*Compared to this, the spiders guarding the underground cave were nothing!*
They shivered and then sprinted off in terror.
As they ran, they continued to exclaim,
“*Is this the real BOSS? Was the underground world’s guardian just an elite monster?*”
“*Could the plans have been wrong? This difficulty doesn’t seem like it’s for the Black Iron level!*”
“*Did a player provoke it early?*”
But the spiders were even faster…
“Screaaah——!!!”
With a sharp scream, all the Earth Cave Spiders began to chase down the players!
“Not good! They’re so fast!”
“There are too many of them!”
“Ah! I’ve been caught!”
For a mont, screams (fake ones) echoed throughout Rivendell’s various locations.
The gigantic Earth Cave Spider followed too, raising its slender legs, striking the fleeing players with precision.
“*This BOSS is too powerful!*”
“*Damn… another monster that’s broken as hell! Can’t the developers make sothing a bit more normal?*”
“Hahaha! Look! Look! It’s skewering them like candy! Hahaha…”
“Stop laughing, quit staring! Run! Or you’ll be skewered too!”
The players were in chaos.
…
“*Finally drawn out, just as I thought, it really is the mother of Earth Cave Spiders!*”
Seeing the massive Earth Cave Spider before her, Eve felt a surge of joy as she switched perspectives through the players’ view.
“Roughly… a Gold Upper Peak, with about twenty thousand subordinates! But, the majority are small Earth Cave Spiders with only Apprentice-level strength.”
Through the players risking their lives, she had roughly figured out its strength.
The Golden Rank was a watershed.
Reaching the Golden Rank ant truly being a higher existence.
For demon beasts, reaching the Golden Rank also signified the beginning of wisdom!
“*This spider… I must take it! With it, I’ll have the entire community of Earth Cave Spiders! And there’s a chance of getting a Golden Rank believer!*”
Eve was tempted.
“*Additionally, if I can subdue the Earth Cave Spider Empress, I can also offer so benefits to the players… If I rember correctly, an early player has been clamoring on the forums about wanting a mount system. Hehe, I wonder if they’d like spiders?*”
Eve thought with a smile.
She glanced at the chaotic yet excited players taking screenshots, waved her hand, and issued a new task:
