NOVEL NEXT Chapter 186: Explosion Is Art!
At this moment, if you look down from the top of the hall, you can see Zong Shen's team blocked in the passage.
On both sides were black Spider Web Monsters, like a black bread sandwich.
And the Spider Web Monsters on both sides were continuously receiving reinforcements, this time they were indeed coming out in full force, vowing to thoroughly leave Zong Shen and the others here.
This Spider Queen looked completely different from the one Zong Shen had eliminated.
She wasn't wearing a crown but a silver-white helmet.
The magic staff in her hand was a bit mottled, emitting a dim black light, with a black Treasure Pearl at the top.
She was wearing a full body armor, even the weak abdominal pouch was covered with light armor, resembling the Elf Light Armor on Luna, perhaps this group of Spider Web Monsters found it in the ruins inside the mine.
Her gaze was cold and unemotional, hiding in the back following the Spider Web Monster Swarm's advance.
As the Spider Web Monsters poured out of the passage, their distance was gradually closing.
This Spider Queen was much more cautious than the last one.
She never gave Zong Shen a chance for a decapitation action.
Zong Shen focused his gaze, and her attributes appeared in front of him immediately.

(A high-level figure in the Spider Web Monster Race, serving the hatching task as the Queen of the tribe, one of the Spider Web Monster Lords' spouses, she has learned from Noviya's lesson, becoming very cautious and careful)
This creature's skills are more advanced than that of Noviya whom Zong Shen previously dealt with, and is also in a demonized state; however, she does not have the Passive skill Evil Aura but gained an extra skill called Slaughter Charging.
This skill is very interesting, the more you kill, the more points you accumulate. By consuming points, you can summon creatures that can exist permanently.
In reality, accumulating enough points is not easy.
Even during the past few days of the Burrow Challenge, Zong Shen's territory resolves only about three to four thousand Burrow Monsters per day, which is the result of all team members acting together, along with kills from defense buildings.
Considering this, it's actually not easy to accumulate enough Slaughter Points as a single person.
But even so, this skill can still be considered a Divine Skill in some respects.
Zong Shen has already considered the weapon of this Spider Queen Aphra as his trophy.
However, the immediate priority is to deal with these Spider Web Monsters in front of him.
Although Zong Shen is confident enough to eradicate them, he doesn't want to delay too long.
If it turns into a war of attrition, giving those Spider Prophets and Spider Queens enough opportunities to strike, it will inevitably cause casualties to his subordinates, and solving them without any injuries is what Zong Shen is pursuing.
He came to the back, standing beside the Goblin Ripper, beginning to deploy tactics.
The defense at the rear was noticeably inferior to the front; the defense line here was formed by Goblin Rippers and Wolf Cavalry. In terms of defensive capability, they couldn't compare to the Gun and Shield Warriors.
"Favide, fire another Fire Rain at the back passage exit."
"Milani, use Elemental Summoning, then chant Water Arrow and time it right to give the back members a Shield of Condensed Water!"
"Tasuya, summon Three-headed Spider Web Warriors immediately and use the Foul Bee Swarm skill against the rear Spider Web Monster Swarm. Look for a chance to disrupt the Spider Queen with a Double Death Spirit Arrow!"
Zong Shen assigned tasks to several mages.
As for himself, he flipped his hand to take out a Fierce Sweetheart.
A glass bottle filled with pink liquid, the size of an ordinary apple.
Besides the Fierce Sweetheart, Zong Shen also had a Goblin Bomb, Acid Bomb, and Goblin Detonator.
However, compared to the Fierce Sweetheart, these bombs were all considered large.
Zong Shen swung his arm around, throwing it toward the Spider Web Monster Swarm in front of him.
At this point, Zong Shen had excellent control over his strength; the Fierce Sweetheart drew a parabolic arc in the air, landing precisely in front of the Spider Queen, blocked by a Spider Web Monster Warrior.
The glass bottle shattered on the Spider Web Monster Warrior's body, and the pink liquid flowed out.
Upon contact with the air, sparks erupted immediately, rapidly burning.
"Boom!"
In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, and the sound of explosions echoed throughout the mine.
The damage values hovered within a ten-meter radius centered on the explosion point.
Every Spider Web Monster was left covered in soot, with burn marks from the explosion everywhere.
Putting aside the power, at least the explosion was immensely satisfying.
At the back of the mine, at the exit of the right-side passage, the Fire Rain Magic Array formed and began pouring down fireballs.
Milan also summoned two lv10 Stone Elements based on the surrounding environment, both with high armor value and life value, making them the perfect choice for front-line tanks.
With the addition of the Stone Elements, the rear defensive formation was temporarily stabilized.
At this moment, the Spider Web Monster Swarm at the back also trudged through the Fire Rain and clashed with the opposing side.
The blade wheels of the two Goblin Rippers sliced rapidly, cutting through the Spider Web Monsters. At worst, they left a gash; at best, they chopped off limbs.
Despite the numerous legs of the Spider Web Monsters, they couldn't withstand several cuts from the blade wheels, which often led to limb severing effects.
After the newbie stage, limbs would disconnect or become crippled once they sustained enough cumulative damage.
These injuries are almost irreversible, with only a few ways to restore them.
Once limbs are severed or crippled, one becomes disabled, impacting attributes to some extent.
Not far away, after being hit by one of Zong Shen's Fierce Sweetheart shots, the expression on the Spider Queen's face became even colder.
Due to its heavy armor, it didn't suffer significant damage but felt insulted.
This is what they call minor damage with high insult.
As the second-in-command of the Spider Web Monster Race, it also had its pride.
It glared at Zong Shen, about to raise its Magic Staff and begin chanting magic to launch a counterattack on Zong Shen, when its eyebrows suddenly twitched.
Zong Shen, with a swift movement, pulled out an even larger bomb...
This bomb was as thick as a thigh, about fifty centimeters long, and judging by its appearance, its power was definitely much greater than the previous small pink thing.
[Type II Goblin Bomb], explosion range of thirty meters, base explosion damage of 300 points!
Zong Shen grinned, unscrewing the end protection cover to reveal the trigger point.
With both hands holding the Goblin Bomb above his head, the human bomber officially went online.
"Wow! The Lord is so handsome!"
"I remember this wasn't meant to be equipped on small goblin flying devices?"
"Isn't the Lord going to collapse the mine?"
"Shut up, Pierce! We must believe in the Lord's strength!"
...
Two goblins beside, while controlling the Tearer Mecha and dueling with Spider Web Monster Warriors, started chattering away.
Zong Shen paid no mind to their chatter, locking his target in the distance as golden distance markers appeared before him, allowing him to accurately estimate the throwing distance to the landing point.
Ensuring it wouldn't affect allies, the golden markers also showed the durability value of the mine passage.
These passages had been reinforced with rune magic to withstand collapses and other geological hazards, and wouldn't easily be brought down by a single goblin bomb.
Thus, Zong Shen felt extremely confident, with the little assistant at hand, claiming the world.
He raised the Goblin Bomb above his head, slightly leaning back to charge, then directly threw it out.
The central landing point was chosen a few meters behind the Spider Queen.
This position covered most of the Spider Web Monsters in the explosion range while avoiding harm to his own side.
Once the target was set, Zong Shen hurled the Goblin Bomb he held.
"Blow you all up!"
The Goblin Bomb was thrown, tracing a parabolic arc towards the vicinity of the landing point.
In Zong Shen's vision, the golden marker constantly shifted, indicating the final point of impact, slightly deviating from his expectations, but almost similar.
Not far away, the Spider Queen watched the bomb descend, letting out a piercing screech, curling into a ball, and hiding beneath the meat shield formed by the Spider Web Warrior.
Zong Shen's side saw the two Goblin Ripper drivers particularly excited.
"Yo-hoo! Explosions are art!"
"Blow up these filthy Burrow Creatures!"
...
"Boom!"
The Goblin Bomb landed, and a violent explosion and flames instantly swept out!
Powerful shockwaves and metal fragments from the bomb body shot out, creating a bloody storm.
The nearby Little Spider Web Monsters and Spider Web Monster Warriors were directly blown away by the explosion, along with weak armored limbs sliced away by fragments...
