“squeak–”
A subtle scream echoed out from beneath the soil under mountain lion’s foot. The thorny spike rapidly shrank and fled into the soil, leaving few big hole on it.
“Want to run?” Glenn lifted her eyebrows. She didn’t expect that an existence of level twenty-six would not a little bit of backbone and was ready to escape at the slightest injury. She responded quickly. She bent her body and stabbed the dagger along one of the holes on the soil.
A sudden cry echoed as if the dagger had stabbed into something but soon the sound disappeared.
“Get out!” Glenn screamed in anger. Both of her dagger stabbed onto ground as if they were rotating. They quickly dug a pit.
The other three quickly arrived. One of them who was a knight raised his spear and hit to one of the hole. The spear didn’t enter half the way when paused as if it seemed to stab something.
The other two moved closer after observing this.
Blue veins bulged from young knight’s arms as he clenched his teeth. Suddenly he raised the spear and a black thorny spike was raised along with it.
A cry echoed and with a powerful strength the spear was drawn back into ground.
The knight hesitated.
Swordsman who was beside the knight quickly turned back and screamed: “fast hide…”
From the soil behind the knight suddenly a scorpion’s tail like spike bursts out and attacked the knight.
puff!
Spike was broken as a Glenn appeared behind the knight. The daggers in her hands were dyed in green blood. She quickly put the daggers onto the strap in her leggings. Glenn grabbed the spike and began to struggle to try to pull it out.
Cold sweat oozed down his spine as he saw the spike behind him. In anger he hit the spear towards the spikes that were exposed.
Another scream echoed as four or five black thorny spikes shot out from the ground. There was almost no time for response.
Swordsman youth seemed to anticipate black weaver’s attack ahead of time as he was the first to reach and parry with his sword.
However the other youth was not so lucky. The reaction time was a bit slower so one of the black thorny spikes pierced his thigh. The flexible hunting armor didn’t play too much of resistance as it was instantly punctured. Spike went it from front of his spike and poked out from the back.
The youth screamed bitterly in horror.
He attacked with the knife but the blade was not sharp enough to cut through the black spike as the shiny black shell covering its surface was extremely tough.
The spike swang, pulling the youth’s thighs. His facial features were distorted in stress as sweat was pouring out. He attacked with the knife quite a few times but only a few white marks were left on the spike.
Dudian and Gatt were horrified as they observed the scene from the distance. Glenn seemed to cut black spikes easily.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, an arrow was shot!
Bang! It hit the black spike but skidded and deviated from it.
Dudian knew that previous archer youth made the shot from the rear. However, the black spikes were mainly oval but partially flat. Its surface were smooth and tough.
Dudian secretly thought in his heart that if some hair-sizes spikes were placed on tip of arrow it may play a great role in penetration.
Knight bounced and turned around to help the youth with the knife. He hit its joint and was able to cut it off!
However, the power of the hit by the spear passed through the black spike onto youth’s thigh. Pain of severe tearing made his body tremble. His hands were tightly holding his thigh, squeezing it out. The main reason was to avoid the blood stain his wound.
Glenn’s body shook as she was jumping right and left to avoid the black spikes while struggling to pull this part of the black spike.
From time to time, a sharp cry full of pain and anxiety echoed from soil.
In this breathtaking tug of war, dying mountain lion roared in anger and rushed towards Glenn.
Glenn and the others were caught in bitter battle with the black weaver and didn’t expect to suffer an attack from mountain lion. The swordsman was quick to swiftly use his sword to hit the mountain lion.
Mountain lion’s head violently collided with the youth sword. Bang! Although his sword move played an effect in stopping mountain lion’s attack but the difference in power between two sides was too much. The swordsman was knocked out.
He hastened to stabilize his body but didn’t have enough time to stand up. Black spikes pierced through from his exposed spine and poked out from his chest!
“No!” Knight screamed in anger. He waved the long spear and rushed past.
Glenn heard the sounds and looked back. Her face changed as her body slightly bent. Subtle changes appeared on her slender legs near her knees. Something seemed to protrude from them as her legs shape changed at the same time. Her strength was enhanced as she made more effort to pull the black spike.
However, spike began to faintly tear open from the joints.
squeeek…
The ground opened as a black giant suddenly flew out from the land.
Glenn was struggling to pull back black weaver’s body. However as if the oppenent suddenly loosened the rope, she lost power and involuntarily receded backwards. The spike which she was holding on to was one of the legs of the black giant. Instead of backing up, the black weaver rushed towards her.
More black spikes from the multi-legged black weaver outflanked her and seemed that as if it wanted to embrace Glenn.
Glenn hadn’t expected and taken into account such a situation. Moreover as she saw the swordsman killed in such a way, her heart was full of anger. She hadn’t expected that the black weaver will be so insidious. It seems that it was deliberately waiting for this moment.
As she saw the black giant flying towards her rapidly, her face changed. She twisted her body in hurry. Her feet suddenly made a maneuver and her body twisted into an incredible posture to avoid the black weaver.
Whosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! At the same time, four continues arrows were shot.
Arrows were shot onto the back of the black weaver. Huge force pushed its body a little bit and black weaver’s follow-up attack was interrupted.
