Chapter 187: Spider Web Monster Weaver, Acid Bomb
The limbs and debris flying through the air with the explosion smoke have an unusual aesthetic.
The entire mine hall in the office area and the right passage we came through trembled violently under this explosion.
The goblin bomb does 1.5 times extra damage to terrain and buildings, causing the sturdy mine walls around to shatter quite a bit in the explosion.
This thing truly deserves to be a major weapon on the battlefield; its mass destruction capability is indeed outstanding.
The sound of explosions echoed in the mines, making the Spider Web Monsters shudder.
"Lord, mighty!"
"Mighty!"
...
The morale on Zong Shen's side skyrocketed, cheers erupted, and they began a more ferocious counterattack against the Spider Web Monsters.
The sound of the goblin bomb's explosion is the enemy's death knell, and our battle drum.
The indiscriminate 300-point explosion damage is far more exhilarating than the Fierce Sweetheart.
Even the Spider Web Monster Queen, hiding behind the flesh wall of the Spider Web Monster Warriors, was affected, taking more than two hundred damage as metal fragments and shock waves pushed it back several meters.
Especially the metal fragments under the impact of the explosion, sweeping out like flying knives, creating numerous breaches on the light armor of the Spider Web Monster Queen.
"Damn humans..."
"I will suck you dry alive!"
The Spider Web Monster Queen mouthed human words, much like the Spider Prophet, possessing some human-like wisdom, capable of mastering human language and even having magic talent to perform magic.
For it to involuntarily speak human words, it indicates Zong Shen has indeed enraged it.
Zong Shen had no intention of paying it any mind, his only response was to take out another goblin bomb.
He still had a dozen or so of these, he wouldn't feel the sting of throwing a few more!
The Fire Rain Magic continued to fall, but compared to the force of the goblin bomb, the Fire Rain Magic was eclipsed.
Zong Shen raised another goblin bomb, aiming at the Spider Web Monster Queen.
This time it flinched directly, its abdominal limbs began to tread frantically, trying to retreat.
The other Spider Web Monsters felt the same, absolutely not wanting to suffer a second hit after the first!
Zong Shen turned around and walked toward the front row, aiming at the front row of Spider Web Monsters.
Unexpectedly, those Spider Web Monsters also showed signs of fear.
"This bomb is really useful, but it's a pity to have brought too few of them!"
"I don't even know where Thistle Teeth City is; when I get the chance, I'll definitely overturn the dens of those goblin merchants!"
"And capture a few goblin engineers and alchemists, have them make mechas and make bombs every day."
Zong Shen mused in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the Spider Prophets in the front row.
A golden auxiliary mark appeared, and without a word, he threw it directly.
"Boom!"
Another loud explosion came, the strong currents blew back, most of them blocked by the Gun and Shield Warrior's heavy shields.
"Snap!"
A section of the Spider Prophet's arm landed beside Zong Shen.
The limbs were the fireworks of the explosion!
The Spider Web Monsters on both sides were each hit by a goblin bomb, leaving them disoriented.
A portion of the low-health Spider Web Monsters directly went airborne; even those in the back row who hadn't yet joined the fight were also unlucky, many having their limbs blown off, their combat capabilities plummeting.
Zong Shen returned to the back row, and the Spider Web Monster Queen's counterattack also began.
From the gaps in the Spider Web Monster Warriors, it unleashed a wave of Foul Bee Swarm toward the front row.
A mass of foul, incomplete bees sprayed out from its mouth, sweeping over the five soldiers in the front row.
Leaving behind stinking, filthy traces and over a hundred damage!
Its skill level isn't low, so the damage from the Foul Bee Swarm is also high.
"Take another hit from me!"
Zong Shen directly threw another goblin bomb!
He had already tasted the sweetness of bombs, now transformed into a human mortar, madly throwing bombs manually.
"Weaver, throw the net!"
This time the Spider Web Monster Queen had a countermeasure, lightly shouting.
In the Spider Web Monster swarm, the Spider Web Monster Weavers with golden stripes on their abdominal section turned their abdomens, spraying the golden capture nets toward the airborne goblin bomb.
These Spider Web Monster Weavers are the Spider Web Monster Race's air defense force, their golden capture nets are especially effective for restraining aerial targets.
Indeed, the golden capture nets enveloped the goblin bomb, changing its ejection trajectory and causing it to fall straight down.
If the goblin bomb falls at this location, the explosion's range will affect Zong Shen's side.
Zong Shen's expression has already changed. He raised his shield and immediately activated the Silver Guardian skill of the Silver Battle Shield.
A white barrier appeared, quickly extending to a range of ten meters around.
This barrier has a Solid Value of 500, and it belongs to the group protective skills of the Silver Battle Shield.
Withstanding a goblin bomb on the front line won't result in a deadly strike, but it may cause limb fractures and tearing for the Wolf Cavary's weak armor.
Therefore, Zong Shen must actively stand up to protect his soldiers. After blocking with a Solid Value of 500, there won't be any overflow damage. Initially, he wanted to save more skills to deal with the Spider Queen, but the current situation is urgent and he can't afford to save them!
"Boom!"
The goblin bomb fell into the middle of the Spider Web Monster Swarm, more than ten meters away, covered by the golden capture net, and exploded violently!
The intense shock wave blew away the Spider Web Monsters at the landing spot.
The explosive airflow swept over, crossing the front line between the two sides, and collided with Zong Shen's Silver Guardian.
Flames, impact, and debris were all blocked by the barrier.
Especially those fragments that hit the barrier like raindrops, stirring up ripples one after another.
The whole white barrier trembled and instantly became much dimmer.
The explosive attack was also completely blocked by the barrier.
The Spider Web Monster Queen isn't foolish. After suffering from the bombs several times, she quickly devised a counter-strategy, knowing that these Spider Web Monster Weavers can easily intercept the goblin bombs she throws.
After all, Spider Web Monster Weavers are specifically designed against flying enemies within the Spider Web Monster Race.
Once intercepted, the goblin bomb can't reach a proper landing spot, resulting in a strategy of harming the enemy by a thousand while self-damaging by eight hundred, which is very unwise.
Faced with this monster swarm where enemies outnumber them, if large-scale weapons can't be used, then the only options are a decapitation operation or a war of attrition.
However, Zong Shen still has his plans. The many gadgets he obtained from the goblin merchants are now all useful!
Zong Shen quickly thought through his mind and soon had a result.
"Madeleine, this arrow is for you. Listen to my orders, aim at the Spider Web Monster Queen, and shoot the arrow."
"Now, your target is that Spider Web Monster Queen. Don't rush, first use ordinary arrows for precision attacks, try to hit her vital spots, or disrupt her spellcasting."
He called the Dragon-kin Ranger Madeleine over and handed her a [Cruel Blood-Burning Arrow]. This thing is much more cost-effective when shot with a bow. Last time Zong Shen manually used it for piercing, directly consuming one-third of its durability.
Madeleine took the Blood-Burning Arrow, looked at the complex demon runes on it thoughtfully, then tucked it into the gap of her boot for easy access.
Not far away, the Spider Web Monster Queen saw this arrow and instinctively shivered.
This thing made her feel a threat of death, a fear from the depths of her soul.
She adjusted her posture and hid her body better.
The hollow area in the front row was once again filled by the Spider Web Monsters.
The two sides collided again.
The mine was filled with the sounds of blade legs striking metal mechas and the slashing of skin being cut.
The Wolf Cavalry, as Tier Two Soldiers, indeed aren't as resilient as Tier Three Soldiers, but fortunately, the high defense and thick health of their Giant Wolves can share a lot of damage.
As cavalry, the Wolf Cavalry should form small teams to roam the vast prairie, not serve as front-line meat shields to bear damage.
Now the Spider Web Monster Queen has retreated, cunningly starting to secretly chant magic.
The powerfully destructive Chaos Undead Arrow, entwined with green arcs, shot directly at Pierce's Tearer Mecha, punching a hole in the thick mecha.
The internal sparks flickered, the Tearer Mecha's Solid Value lost one-third, and its Durability dropped by about 20 points. After one successful hit, the Spider Web Monster Queen began chanting for the second shot.
Madeleine attempted to shoot arrows to interrupt the spellcasting, yet each time was blocked by the Spider Web Monster Warriors, and the situation began to turn passive.
Zong Shen immediately started executing his combat plan.
He took out the [Ejected Claw Hook (Blue)], and looked at the rock wall beside the mine.
The Ejected Claw Hook has a rope length of 20 meters. As long as the position is chosen well, it can completely climb to the back of the Spider Web Monster Queen for tactical air drop.
The Ejected Claw Hook is a cylindrical object. Zong Shen held it in his hand and fired it at the rock wall on one side.
A huge arrowhead shot out from the top of the cylinder, expanding claw blades in the air and viciously embedding into the rock wall. The claw blades penetrated the rock, anchoring onto it, while the rope in the middle still connected with the cylinder in Zong Shen's hand.
Zong Shen took out a larger bomb, the Rare Level [Acid Bomb], unscrewed the triggered fuse, and held it in his arms. One hand grabbed the cylinder, stepping back two steps, letting the rope take some amplitude.
Then he pushed hard with his legs, grabbed the rope, and swung towards the Spider Web Monster Swarm.
Like Tarzan, when he swung to the highest point of the arc, he threw the Acid Bomb in his hand fiercely at the rear of the Spider Web Monster Swarm.
This series of operations went smoothly, and because of the swing angle, it equates to a direct end-point drop. Those Spider Web Monster Weavers didn't have time to spray gold capture nets for interception, only watching helplessly as Zong Shen successfully dropped the Acid Bomb.
As soon as the bomb touched down and exploded, the rope rebounded, bringing Zong Shen swinging back.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The massive explosion roar made the whole mine tremble.
This time the explosion was far more impressive than before.
Amidst the spraying dust, the mine's domed roof partially collapsed, and dropping rocks injured many Spider Web Monsters again!
