Chapter 642: Chapter 179 Polar Undead Spiders_4
Yan Shi shook his head with a bitter smile, saying, "I do not wish to give up, but our participation will only become your burden. It is only when we truly face those powerful undead creatures that we understand how insignificant our abilities are. Without us as hindrances, your progression would probably be much easier. Rest assured, we are fine. We will stay here to guard the Array."
Yue Ji looked at Kino with a complex expression, saying, "My arrows have almost no effect on those undead creatures. Yan Shi is right, we should not participate."
Ah Dai and Xuan Yue looked at each other. They both knew that Yan Shi was right. During this first entrance into the Death Mountain Range, they indeed did not provide much help. However, seeing their spirits dampened because of their lack of strength, Ah Dai felt uncomfortable at heart but did not know how to console them.
Xuan Yue held Ah Dai’s big hand, saying, "Alright, let’s stop talking about this for now. Let’s first analyze the situation of the enemies we’ve encountered so far and discuss how to deal with them."
Olivia said, "We encountered four types of undead creatures this time. The bone birds are the weakest and can almost be ignored. As long as Xuan Yue uses some light magic, I believe they pose no threat to us. Skeleton soldiers are also easy to deal with. As long as we fly in the sky, only those flying skeleton soldiers can pose a threat. The next time we go there, if we can repel or destroy them, we’ll easily pass the second stage. The real threat of entering the Death Mountain Range began with the green toxic mist emitted from the zombies. There we consumed too much energy, so when we encountered the two-colored spiders, we simply had no extra strength to resist them. Therefore, the first problem we need to solve is how to break through the zombie stage."
Yan Shi said, "Vila is right, the corrosion of the green toxic mist is extremely strong, and it’s hard to resist. If we can go all out to break through when we encounter the green toxic mist, we might save a lot of energy." Ah Dai’s eyes lit up, "I have a solution. My limit for flying with my fighting energy is about a thousand meters. But Sheng Xie could fly up to three thousand meters. If we fly to three thousand meters after dealing with the skeletons, and then rush towards the center of the Death Mountain Range, we might not only pass the undead spider stage but also leave the spiders behind. If worse comes to worse, we only have to face one kind of spider. I guess the two types of spiders have ice and fire abilities, but their cobwebs are comprised of something other than pure ice or fire energy. They contain the breath of death. If we have a showdown, I am confident about breaking through on my own, but I am not sure about annihilating them. Moreover, we don’t know if the ice and fire spiders have the ability to regenerate. Since we are being cautious and saving our energy, we could avoid a lot of trouble."
Xuan Yue said, "This plan is feasible, let’s do it this way. Tomorrow morning, we will scout the Death Mountain Range again. We still have plenty of time now, we can try several times, there has to be a way. However, I am more worried about the creatures after the undead spiders, I do not know what surprises are waiting for us. The powerful undead creatures behind might be even harder to handle with."
Ah Dai said with a serious face, "Indeed. Let’s go, let’s go rest in the treehouse. We will depart first thing tomorrow. This time we will try to get as far as possible and not use the space magic technique casually."
The Death Mountain Range was still silent. On the mountaintop where Ah Dai and the others had used space magic to escape, several people completely shrouded in black clothes appeared. They were looking around doubtfully. One of them said in a low voice, "I wonder what the invaders’ intentions were to be able to break into this place, which is not something ordinary humans can do."
"Yeah, these invaders are very capable, and there’s someone proficient in light magic. The flock of bone birds took heavy losses, nearly half of them were completely destroyed by the holy energy through the Undead fog. What I find strange is, how did these invaders pass through the skeletons and zombies stages? The zombies and skeletons are almost undamaged! It’s simply impossible. Even if they could fly, they would not have made it here so easily. Could it be that the Pope of the Holy Church has come in person?"
"It’s possible, the Church has probably been aware of the crisis for a long time and sent people to explore the Death Mountain Range. After all, no matter how many experts they send, they all end up dead at the hands of our polar undead spiders. Even if their so-called sky god comes personally, it would still take a lot of effort to break through the twelve calamities of the undead. Let’s go, we have much more important things to do." The black fog rose, and the several black figures vanished into thin air in the fog.
At night, Ah Dai was sitting on the bank of Elf Lake with Xuan Yue in his arms. The moonlight filtered through the thick trees and fell on the clear Elf Lake, creating an indescribably beautiful scene in the water mist. In this beautiful scene, whoever was present would feel extraordinarily relaxed and peaceful.
