The Master of Beasts Chapter 333 - 15: Duel to the Death? No, It’s an Escape!

As the only three people in the Third Zone capable of matching the power of a grand Insect General, they had spent almost every day living on the city walls.

"Here they co! They’re here!" a figure leaped from the foremost watchtower, quickly approaching the city wall while emitting panicked cries.

Belis looked at the little insect hopping before her, sowhat displeased. "So noisy."

In an instant, a strand of spider silk crossed the void and landed on the reporting Cultivator’s back. SWOOSH! He was sucked into Belis’s mouth.

The speed was so overwhelming that the three of them couldn’t react in ti.

Jin Bing stared blankly at Belis slowly approaching from not far away, stuttering, "Our opponent is this giant spider? Are you joking? This is already True King-level strength!"

Shi Xiaojun’s forehead also began to sweat. His green hair was wet and matted, his pupils continuously shrinking. He said helplessly, "Not yet, but close. If your Myriad Beasts Sect can’t stop this giant spider, death is just a matter of ti."

Hearing their words, Chen Jiuge felt utterly helpless. Just one look at this thing, and I know I’m completely outmatched.

"Don’t be afraid. The strategists and I will join forces to stop the Insect Nest Queen," Chen Yan said firmly.

"That’s good, that’s good."

「 」

"Still, the flesh and blood of Human Clan Cultivators is the most tantalizing—sour and appetizing," Belis said with a wide, delighted grin, yet the bloodstains at the corners of her mouth sent chills down one’s spine.

"My Empress, allow to present you with the victory of the first battle," said Oliver, who had arrived earlier, his eyes frenzied.

The giant spider’s head tilted to glance at him. Belis said with a touch of emotion, "Ah, Oliver."

"Rather than watch you fight, I’d prefer to experience the joy of battle myself."

As her last word fell, a colossal figure appeared below the city wall, its seemingly fragile legs stabbing rapidly downward.

The city wall erupted with countless, dense Runes—these were all Arrays inscribed upon it.

CRACK!

A deep gash appeared on the surface of the city wall. Although insignificant compared to the wall as a whole, the giant spider before them was rely attacking casually.

"This won’t do. We have to test its strength."

Chen Jiuge drew the large bow before him, aid at the giant spider, and a silver arrow slowly condensed on the bowstring—his Divine Skill, Galaxy Nine Heavens.

WHOOSH!

The silver arrow left a long trail in the void, shooting straight at Belis’s head.

CLANG!

Belis casually knocked the arrow away, turned her head towards Chen Jiuge, and with an enormous grin, said, "I am Belis, the Insect Nest Queen. Humans, co out and surrender to , and I might consider not devouring you completely."

After speaking, Belis even licked her lips, as if savoring the taste of the Cultivator from earlier.

Chen Yan’s face turned livid. "Attack as much as possible from the city wall! The current defense line has gathered the resources of the entire Third Zone. Even if it’s a True King, it should hold for a while!"

"Then let try."

A Magic Artifact resembling a double-barreled shotgun appeared in Jin Bing’s hands. He muttered, "This was a treasure my mother gave before I left the family for the Third Zone. It’s a Heaven and Earth Holy Weapon that was forcefully reforged into this shape, sacrificing all other functions to retain only the purest offensive power."

The two barrels began to rapidly charge, and Chen Jiuge could clearly feel Jin Bing’s Mana being consud at an alarming rate.

"Let show you what I’m capable of!"

"Water and Fire Tribulation!"

Two beams of light, one red and one blue, quickly rged. The front end ford a pattern reminiscent of a Taiji symbol from a past life, and it fiercely shot towards Belis.

SQUELCH!

Belis spat out a large glob of viscous spider silk. It accurately enveloped the light beam. Despite the beam’s continuous efforts to break through, it was diminished to a re tenth of its original size before striking Belis’s forehead.

Looking at Belis, who had no damage whatsoever on her forehead, Jin Bing said in despair, "How are we supposed to fight this?"

"Do you have any other moves? Use them quickly, or you won’t get the chance later," Jin Bing said dejectedly to Shi Xiaojun.

Shi Xiaojun crossed his arms. "I don’t have any long-range attacks."

"Looks like you’ll be the first to die," Jin Bing said with pity.

Shi Xiaojun exploded in anger, "You’ll be the one!"

"Alright, enough arguing. The city wall can still hold for a while longer, and this Belis doesn’t seem to have ordered the rest of the Insect Clan to launch a full assault. Attack her as much as possible," Chen Yan said gravely.

「 」

Chen Jiuge sat on the ground, feeling completely drained. Smiling bitterly at the minuscule Mana left within him, he said, "My Galaxy Nine Heavens is almost at Minor Mastery, and yet this creature doesn’t have a scratch on it. How absurd is this!"

Jin Bing tossed his cherished double-barreled shotgun on the ground. "I’m the one who’s completely drained. Really, not a single drop left."

Shi Xiaojun, who had been rely observing until now, said coldly, "This is a True King. The strength of this giant spider might not reach True King level, but its defense and speed obviously do. And so far, this creature hasn’t used a single Divine Skill."

A giant leg swept before their eyes. Even though they knew Belis hadn’t completely broken through the Array yet, their hearts still wouldn’t stop trembling—it was terrifying.

"This gap is even bigger than the difference between ordinary people and those at the Mahayana stage," Chen Jiuge complained.

"Only the gap to a True Immortal is this imnse. It gets a bit better when one reaches the Heavenly Immortal realm, and the disparity narrows further at the Golden Immortal realm," Jin Bing consoled.

"Quick, look!" a Cultivator suddenly shouted.

The giant leg appeared again, but this ti, a faint purple glow emanated from it.

CRACK!

The leg pierced through the Array, skewering a stunned Cultivator, and quickly retracted.
