Chapter 1569: Chapter 179: 2-Pole Undead Spider_3
Ah Dai sighed softly and said to Xuan Yue, "Activate the space positioning. Let’s go back first." As he spoke, he withdrew Sheng Xie into the Dragon’s Blood. With a flash of white light, as the blue spider web floated down, everyone had disappeared from the same spot. Several red spiders eager for honor were caught right under the blue web. A thick mist rose, and under the ice web composed of the combined energy of thousands of Blue Spiders, they were completely frozen into ice blocks. The rest of the red spiders quickly retreated, leaving the mountaintop like lightning, while the Blue Spiders pounced on the previously frozen red spiders, instantly consuming their bodies and the ice blocks completely. Not a single trace was left, and only then did they spread their wings again and flew off the mountaintop. The mountaintop returned to a desolate calm, with no sound at all, as if the previous slaughter had never happened.
With a flash of light, under the surprised gaze of the Elf Queen, they returned to the Elf ancient tree and sat down in the center of the magic array, breathing heavily.
The Elf Queen quickly scanned everyone, relieved to see no one was missing, and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Is it very dangerous in the Death Mountain Range?"
Olivia said with lingering fear, "Fortunately, the positioning array was successfully activated; otherwise, we might have become lunch for those Undead Spiders."
Ah Dai said, "Auntie Queen, we are all greatly exhausted; let’s rest a bit before telling you about the situation inside the Death Mountain Range."
The Elf Queen said, "Alright. You all rest first, as long as no one is hurt." The group didn’t leave the Elf ancient tree, but sat down around the magic array to begin their recovery training. The most exhausted was Xuan Yue, who not only had to maintain the connection with the magic array but also was the main force against the Undead creatures. It took her half a day, almost until nightfall, to recover.
The group ate the fruits prepared by the Elf Queen, with heavy hearts and somber expressions. Although they were safe, their spirits hadn’t recovered from the successive dangers of the Mountain Range of Undead. Audi exchanged a glance with the Elf Queen and said to Ah Dai, "What’s the situation? Did you find the cave I hid in back then? Why did you come back so quickly?"
Ah Dai sighed and described in detail everything they encountered during the trip. Hearing his account, Audi was lost in thought for a moment and then said, "What you described differs from what I encountered back then. At that time, I rushed over ten miles into the Mountain Range of Undead before facing ambushes, but various Undead creatures were mixed together like the bone birds, skeletons, zombies, and Undead Knights you saw, which are considered relatively low-level Undead creatures. As for the two-colored spiders you saw at the end, I never encountered those before; they must be more powerful Undead creatures. These developments are likely due to the Church of the Dark Saint changing the circumstances inside the Death Mountain Range. If Ah Dai’s judgment is correct and twelve types of Undead creatures dominate the Death Mountain Range, it will be tough to handle. Even the fourth layer forced you back, indicating the following Undead creatures will be unbelievably strong. If that’s the case, it’s impossible for you to complete the mission here!"
Ah Dai shook his head and said, "I think the main reason for our failure during the first entry into the Death Mountain Range is because our method was wrong. We shouldn’t have tangled too much with those Undead creatures. If we charged forward at maximum speed, even if caught by those two types of spiders, we should have had the ability to counterattack. Next time, we’ll directly charge ahead to see what’s inside. Also, this time wasn’t a complete failure either; I discovered that the Undead creatures inside the Death Mountain Range have an advantage against enemies invading from the ground because they can combine aerial and ground forces. But if it’s only aerial forces, we can reduce resistance by half, so next time, we’ll just attack directly from the air."
Yan Shi sighed and said, "Ah Dai, before you woke up earlier, I already discussed with everyone; next time we go to the Death Mountain Range, Yan Li, Yue Ji, Zhuo Yun, and I will not participate."
Ah Dai’s heart tightened, "Why? Big Brother, I know you won’t back down, why are you giving up?"
Yan Shi smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don’t want to give up, but our participation only burdens you. It’s only when facing those powerful Undead creatures that we realize how insignificant our abilities are. Without us being a burden, your progress would be a bit easier. Rest assured, we’re fine, we’ll stay here to guard the array."
Yue Ji gave Kino a complicated look and said, "My bow and arrows are almost ineffective against those Undead creatures. Yan Shi is right; we shouldn’t participate."
Ah Dai and Xuan Yue exchanged glances, knowing Yan Shi was right; they had indeed not contributed much during the first entry into the Death Mountain Range. However, looking at their gloom from insufficient strength, Ah Dai felt uncomfortable yet didn’t know how to comfort them.
