Chapter 209: Otherworld (I)

“Time really flies!

The incident where I was chased by Li Daoyi from the Blue Cloud Sword Sect seemed to have happened not long ago.

But now, the nine spider emperors which are already the most difficult to deal with among those below the master realm in Jiangnan province, are running around like chicks and getting killed by me.”

Chen Yiming looked at the space-travel passage not far away and couldn’t help but sigh.

The essence from the corpses of the four spider emperors helped to reduce the Skill Points needed for his Level-3 Undying Body talent by another 200 points.

With a wave of his hand, he dispersed the illusory internal force that enveloped Ye Yisha.

The most direct effect of the illusion attribute was to reflect the result that one really wanted to see. In Ye Yisha’s eyes, the spider emperors had the advantage in numbers. The two of them fought and retreated, and finally managed to escape.

“Where are the spider emperors? We’re finally safe!”

Ye Yisha looked around and took a deep breath.

Her entire body was drenched in sweat, and her clothes clung tightly to her body, revealing the curves underneath. At this moment, she looked like a frightened cat, and her entire body was limp and weak.

“Are you alright now? Let’s go,” Chen Yiming glanced at the spatial rift and said calmly.

Why were they back at this place?

This seemed to be the spider emperor’s lair?

When she noticed the spatial rift in front of her, Ye Yisha’s eyes widened. She remembered that the two of them had clearly run far away. Due to the difference between reality and the illusion she had seen, she was not able to wrap her mind around the situation.

Chen Yiming had no intention of explaining the situation. He walked straight towards the spatial rift.

Regarding the otherworld, even after he became a true disciple of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, the information he could gather was still limited. After all, the disciples of the sect were still focused on their own cultivation at this stage.

Chen Yiming only knew that the otherworld was extremely dangerous. On the blue planet, ordinary warriors might be considered famous.

In the otherworld, he would only be an ordinary adventurer. If he was not careful, he would lose his life.

This was also the reason why he had not taken the initiative to enter the unknown otherworld through the space-travel passages.

Now that five giant steel-spear spiders had just escaped into the otherworld through the space-travel passage, it meant that it was unlikely that there were any existences there that could threaten his life.

In addition, he had Ye Yisha, his subordinate who was like a human radar, by his side.

At this moment, it was a good opportunity to enter the otherworld and explore it.

Seeing this, Ye Yisha’s forehead started to heat up again.

She was doomed!

Were they going to enter the otherworld?

How could she survive like this!

She looked towards the entrance to the pit again. It was hundreds of meters above her.

However, even if she managed to get out from there, she would only end up as food if she faced the giant steel-spear spiders alone.

In the end, Ye Yisha was forced to follow Chen Yiming obediently and walk towards the spatial rift.

…

When Chen Yiming stepped into the spatial rift, the huge aura that he had been emitting disappeared from the cave. All the giant steel-spear spiders recovered from their frozen state.

The behavior of those who were weak, not daring to move when facing those who were much more powerful, was especially obvious in mutant beasts that did not have much intelligence.

“Hss hss hss!”

This time, throughout the entire catacombs, the giant steel-spear spiders, including those that had mastered the transformation of internal force, began to dig their way out of the ground.

The sound of the three spider emperors exploding was deeply imprinted in the minds of each of the giant steel-spear spiders. The aura of the remaining five spider emperors had disappeared first, followed by the aura of the intruders.

Without a doubt, the intruders had chased them into the otherworld.

None of the giant steel-spear spiders dared to stay in their nests in the catacombs. While the invaders were gone, they only had one thought: to get as far away as possible.

In the human military bases.

“Something seems to have exploded in the pit.”

The commotion caused by Chen Yiming destroying three spider emperors with one strike caused a commotion among the soldiers and officers.

Everyone stared at the pit, trying to see what was going on.

At first, it was as if a volcano had erupted underground, and a hole had formed in the ground. Then, a green light soared into the sky, as if a powerful creature had started a fierce battle. Finally, peace had returned.

“Sigh, this timing is terrible.”

The martial arts experts who had come to provide support were pale and trembling.

They knew that if a battle of this level spread out, they were sure to meet their ends at this distance.

Just as everyone was still struggling with the problem of the pit, suddenly, all of them felt that something was amiss under their feet.

All the giant steel-spear spiders in the catacombs dug up the soil at the same time. The tremors caused by their combined efforts could not be concealed at all. It was countless times larger than the galloping of 10,000 horses.

“How many giant steel-spear spiders are there in the catacombs?”

At this moment, everyone was panicking, as though they were ants on a hot pan.

The situation had taken a sharp turn. The giant steel-spear spiders did not crawl out of the holes in the vicinity of the catacombs. Instead, they dug upwards from underground and sneaked around, avoiding the direct firepower from the human technological weapons.

“Ring! Ring!”

The special phone rang. The officer picked it up and placed it to his ear.

“Retreat 10 kilometers immediately.”

It was the latest order from the command center.

“Roger that,” the officer replied loudly.

Retreating 10 kilometers meant that the military camp that had been built would be abandoned. The humans had miscalculated the number of giant steel-spear spiders in the catacombs.

However, just as he put down the phone, before he could give the orders to the various troops,

as far as the eye could see, from the forest on the surface of the catacombs to the far end of the military encampment more than 10 kilometers away, giant steel-spear spiders broke out of the ground one after another. All of them were instantly surrounded by the spiders.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how one sneaked around underground, it would not be as fast as moving on the ground. However, if there were enough of them, the humans would have their escape routes surrounded before they could even start to evacuate.

If this scene was reduced in scale by a hundred times, it would be like a large group of crabs packed close together on the beach.

No matter how big the crabs were, humans could pick them up with one hand. As for the giant steel-spear spiders, they were already three to five meters tall at the disciple realm. When they opened their eight legs, they covered an area of about 10 meters.

“…”

Now that they were in a sea of giant steel-spear spiders, all the humans were instantly stunned and left speechless from the shock.

The humans’ original plan was to use technological weapons to kill the giant steel-spear spiders first. If the situation changed, they would retreat as they fought.

At this moment, the technological weapons had completely lost their advantage.

The machine guns could not form a dense net of fire. The tanks, cannons, and rockets could not be used to bombard the enemy at will. Only the helicopters in the air sensed that something was amiss and could fly up into the air to avoid the attacks.

In the blink of an eye, a melee battle between the humans and the giant steel-spear spiders began.

Kill!

Their strong willpower, which had been tempered by years of war, allowed the soldiers to quickly recover.

Each soldier quickly inserted bayonets into their rifles. These bayonets were made from special ores from the otherworld, and were enough to pierce through the defenses of creatures in the disciple realm.

Small teams were formed with three to five people each, and they positioned themselves with their backs to the tanks and other defensive facilities. They used the rifles with bayonets as their spears to deal with the giant steel-spear spiders that had broken out of the ground.

At the same time, the martial arts experts who had come to provide support gathered everyone in their teams.

Each person held their weapons tightly in their hands and was extremely tense as they stared at the giant steel-spear spiders that could attack at any moment.

The situation on the human side was completely out of control. They could only try their best to break out of the encirclement. No one was confident that they could survive.

Soon, the melee fights officially began.

Why were there so few adventurers heading to the catacombs?

Why were the giant steel-spear spiders called deadly weapons?

At this moment, when the two sides truly clashed, the humans felt despair.

“Bang!”

At the level of the disciple realm, the human teams that were standing in formation to confront the giant steel-spear spiders were scattered by the attacks from underground before they could really fight the spiders.

This was a technique used by creatures like the giant steel-spear spiders that could sneak about underground.
