Don't Mess with That Dragon

Chapter 98: Spider Leader


As the view in front expanded, the dark blue light illuminated the entire space, revealing translucent crystals scattered at the end of the huge cavern, emitting this dark blue light, like crystallized air or enlarged snowflakes.

However, at this moment, the group of Beastmen had no intention to pay attention to these magical crystal ice formations, because as they entered the space, they saw huge shadows flickering between the magic crystals.

Hiss, hiss!

As soon as everyone appeared, they heard hisses from the darkness. Giant spiders leapt out from all corners, agilely extending their massive poisonous claws toward the group.

The enormous figures, each as tall as a Beastman, had fangs flashing with ominous light under the glowing illumination, sending gusts of dizzying, nauseating wind.

"Kill!"

Several guarding Beastmen immediately responded, forming a circle with them, brandishing their sharp long spears to pierce the darkness with precision.

Several large spiders collided directly with the sharp spearheads, getting pierced instantly, with their foul-smelling green blood splattering out. However, more large spiders followed closely behind, seemingly aiming to shred the group to pieces.

Bam bam bam!

In a critical moment, the Dragon Vein Attendants took action, swinging their stone shields loudly like walls, smashing several large spiders flat and sending them flying.

The Dragon Vein Attendants participating in this action had learned the Dark Elf Breathing Technique. Though the duration was short, they showed improved strength, wielding their heavy stone shields with ease.

Forming the core, the Dragon Vein Attendants blocked the front, while the Dragon's Nest Beastmen attacked from behind, stabbing with long spears, forming an impenetrable defense line against the onrushing large spiders.

One by one, the large spiders leapt from the shadows, only to hit the sharp defensive line and suffer a head-smashing defeat.

Concurrently, the Dark Elves also drew their bows, firing arrows swiftly. The arrowheads gleamed faintly, coated with a thin layer of Fighting Qi, cutting through like sharp swords. An arrow pierced one large spider, continued its momentum, piercing the two spiders behind it before finally embedding in the rock layer.

At the same time, the Fox-faced Man Quik also raised his scepter, attempting to cast a Flame Burst Technique.

But Austin stopped him. Though Quik's demonic artifacts could automatically recover Magic Power, it took time, and for now the Beastmen could hold their ground, saving the spells for strategic moments.

With the Beastmen forming a killing formation, along with the Dark Elves stealthily shooting from the side, the large spider swarm suffered heavy losses, their corpses piling up like a mountain.

"Could it really be just a group of mutated spiders occupying here without a ruling Lord?"

Seeing this scene, Austin felt a surge of doubt in his heart.

The attacking large spiders, though aggressive, were swiftly killed by the combined forces of the Dragon Vein Beastmen and ordinary Beastmen.

Moreover, so far, there was no sign of any superior Magic Beast appearing beyond the spiders.

"Could it really be that I'm overthinking?"

Seeing this scene, Austin felt a sense of suspicion rising within him.

Just as the spiders' assault seemed to wane, looking like only a few remained.

Suddenly, an abrupt change occurred.

The remaining few large spiders emitted a green glow, their chest and abdomen inflating like balloons, and under tremendous jumping power, they leapt towards the Beastmen.

Watch out!

Austin felt a sudden rush of unease.

"Retreat quickly!"

However, before he finished speaking, those mutated spiders were already close, the Beastmen's long spears were thrust out.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The long spears thrust out, but didn't pierce the spiders as before. As the spears touched the mutated spiders, they exploded, releasing a terrifying forceful shockwave.

The Beastmen in front were immediately blown away by the impact, only a few Dragon Vein Beastmen barely maintained their stance.

Yet, the worst was the poisonous green liquid erupting, splashing onto the Beastmen's skin. Immediately, cries of pain echoed as they rolled on the ground, moaning loudly.

The Dragon Vein Beastmen fared better, at least having stone shields to block, but the liquid still seeped into their skin, causing a large swollen bruise.

Ordinary Beastmen fared worse; where the poison touched, blue veins spread like a spider web, burning like magma. Some hit directly by the green poison had their whole bodies turn blue-purple, gradually stiffening, seemingly dying.

"Damn it!"

Austin was furious but had no time to spare.

Because at this moment, a huge shadow descended from above, hanging by a silk thread and crashing to the ground, stirring a cloud of dust.

The massive shadow, even bigger than Austin's body, stood three meters tall, with limbs resembling the claws of a Demon God, menacing and terrifying.

"Hiss!!!"

A hiss that more resembled a mighty roar.

The entire cave roared with tidal waves, sending visible shockwaves rolling through.

The severely injured Beastman Clan gathered together despite their pain, clutching their wooden spears tightly.

"Fall back, leave the rest to me."

Austin stepped forward, shoving the Beastmen behind him, focusing his gaze on the towering creature.

It was an even larger spider, its armor glistening with a dark hue, on its shell, a face as fierce as a demon was etched, vivid and fierce, spreading its massive venomous fangs, roaring continuously at Austin.

"Dragon Vein Attendants, take everyone back, Adinlek, and Quik, be ready to support me."

Even just standing opposite it, a fierce aura hit Austin, realizing this Spider Leader's power reached at least Silver level, with potentially toxic Talent Magic, making all actions risky for the Dragon Vein Attendants.

However, Silver or not, death is certain!

Roar!!!

A loud dragon roar, Austin unfurled his wings, electric snakes danced wildly in the sky, his massive body lunging at the shadow before him.
