Chapter 191: The Prelude to Battle, Flamethrower Unleashed
This blood pool and the bizarre energy emitted by that heart are intertwined.
They can transform into black fog energy with magical effects, which the Spider Web Monster Lord absorbs for its own use.
It seems that this Demon's Heart is indeed overwhelmingly domineering, even the Spider Web Monster Lord doesn't dare to directly devour it.
It can only set up such an evil blood pool to assist in absorbing the power of the Demon's Heart.
It's imaginable that if such an evil ritual is ultimately completed, it will definitely turn this Spider Web Monster Lord into a truly terrifying existence!
The most urgent task now is to immediately interrupt the Spider Web Monster Lord's magical transformation, and absolutely not let it complete the transformation successfully.
A line of golden countdown floated in front of Zong Shen's eyes.
(49 minutes 36 seconds)
The attributes of this Spider Web Monster Lord also appeared before Zong Shen.
[Demonized Spider Web Monster Lord Leopold lv35 (Purple)]
[Purple Commander Level (Undergoing Demonization)]
[Race: Nirabu Spider Demon]
[Piercing Damage: 151~154]
[Life Value: 4200]
[Armor Value: 70]
[Magic Resistance: 55]
[Skills: Death Spear lv20 (Leopold throws a Calamity Battle Spear with a maximum range of 200 meters, causing 2.0 times the piercing damage to the target, with a 35% chance of causing a maiming effect, after throwing, the Calamity Battle Spear automatically flies back, cooling time 4 hours)]
Calamity Incarnation lv10 (Leopold incarnates as calamity, within 5 minutes increases the life value limit by 30%, armor value and magic resistance by 20%, attack power by 15%, movement speed by 10%, after duration ends, falls into a 10-minute weakened state, all attributes decrease by 25%, cooling time 28 hours)
Hypnosis lv10 (puts a target into a sleep state, lasting 10 seconds, any attack during this time will awaken the target, cooling time 1 hour)
Demon's Heart lv??? (fusion incomplete, effect unknown)
Passive Skills: Demonization lv18 (deep demonization state, reduced lifespan, increased attributes)]
(The deeply demonized Spider Web Monster Lord's attributes are about 40% higher than before, belonging to the peak attributes of similarly tiered Commander Level monsters, with almost no rivals among the same level and tier except for a few special races and creatures)
These attributes are definitely the most powerful monster Zong Shen has encountered so far.
It's hard to imagine what kind of terrifying thing it would become if left to complete its transformation!
The Spider Web Monster Lord is now only 49 minutes away from completing its magical transformation.
This made Zong Shen even more anxious, especially after seeing this guy's attributes, the pressure in his heart increased even more.
The entire mining hall is now densely blocked by Spider Web Monsters.
From the mine entrance to the blood pool in the mining hall, every meter is crowded with several Spider Web Monsters.
They stare at Zong Shen closely but do not attack proactively, determined to form an iron-clad formation.
Looking at the astonishingly thick Spider Web Monster swarm ahead, Zong Shen felt a bit troubled.
These Spider Web Monsters surround the entire blood pool, with open land around without any climbing spots.
The top is over a hundred meters high, the rope of the [Ejected Claw Hook] isn't long enough.
Even if Zong Shen grew wings, he probably couldn't get through the Spider Web Monster blockade.
After all, among the monster swarm, there are many Spider Weavers skilled at launching golden capture nets, their anti-air capability is formidable enough to intercept even the bombs Zong Shen throws.
In this situation, there is only one route to take, and that's to form an advancing formation, with everyone in full state to charge in directly!
Before the Spider Web Monster swarm encloses, they must fight through the monster swarm ahead and reach the blood pool directly.
The real mine hall showdown is about to begin, the battle is about to unfold!
"Aisha, summon the Holy Spirit, after summoning, immediately use the skill of the crown, magic reset, and summon the Holy Spirit again."
"Favide, after the first Holy Spirit is summoned, start chanting Fire Rain Magic, targeting 50 meters ahead. The remaining Fire Rain Magic in your magic reserve, release the timing according to your discretion while advancing."
"Madeleine, keep this arrow and act at the right moment..."
"Korby, listen to my command in a while, lead the Wolf Rider Squad One to open the path ahead, and activate the Sword Array Charge skill."
"Gun and Shield Warriors, protect the squad, do not let the Spider Web Monsters disrupt the formation."
"Pierce, Carlos, you drive the Tearer Mechas to protect the mages and shooters in the squad, and simultaneously perform disruptive attacks on surrounding enemies!"
"Everyone else, as soon as we begin the charge, immediately activate status skills and launch an all-out attack!"
Zong Shen quickly issued the operational orders because the [Spider Queen's Crown] has the magic reset skill, theoretically, after resetting the magic cooldown, it can summon the Holy Spirit again.
Aisha immediately started chanting the Holy Light spell to summon that powerful Holy Spirit.
Korby led twelve Wolf Cavalry at the forefront of the squad, forming an inverted V formation, ready to launch the Sword Array Charge at any time. This is the Wolf Riders' squad skill, allowing them to quickly charge a certain distance, and inflict considerable damage on enemies along the way.
Zong Shen put away the big saber, carried the Silver Battle Shield on his back, and grabbed the [Molotov Fire Spreader], heading to the frontline.
Facing the monster swarm, the flamethrower is more effective, and the strategy had also emphasized the flamethrower's significant advantage for actions towards conquering the mine.
Seven Dragonized Spear and Shield Warriors and Luna stood in the second row, forming a small semicircle to protect the mages and archers behind them.
The gaps on both sides were filled by Goblin Rippers.
On the spot, those Spider Web Monsters remained motionless until the Spider Web Monster Lord in the Blood Pool opened its eyes and glanced over.
"Roar!"
Even though it didn't move, it let out a roar.
Zong Shen had killed two Spider Web Monster Queens, which was equivalent to killing its two consorts, an act of blood feud without exaggeration.
Trying to stop its demonization transformation at this moment was like meeting a blood foe, and the Spider Web Monster Lord would never let Zong Shen go!
After this howl, the Spider Web Monsters that tightly surrounded the Blood Pool began to move.
They swarmed towards Zong Shen's formation, making one's scalp tingle.
The frontline Wolf Cavalry was restless. Sensing the threat, the giant wolves' tails stood up, and their fur bristled as they bared their teeth at the Spider Web Monsters.
Without Zong Shen's command, they dared not attack rashly.
Most of the Spider Web Monster swarm consisted of Little Spider Web Monsters and Spider Web Monster Warriors.
Not far from them, Spider Prophets were stealthily approaching with the swarm, looking for the right casting distance to launch long-range attacks.
In this battle, Zong Shen's side had no battlefield advantage, with the numbers ratio reaching over 1 to 40.
They could only rely on individual strength, skills, and squad coordination to deliver a swift, precise, and fierce strike.
Zong Shen wielded the flamethrower, beginning to spray wildly.
The flamethrower's range could reach thirty meters. Here, without wind or rain to interfere, it was the perfect place to use the flamethrower.
A tongue of fire spread out, sweeping back and forth over the Spider Web Monster swarm, like a flaming blade repeatedly scraping over them.
Countless Spider Web Monsters ignited, with the sprayed liquid fuel landing on their bodies and starting to blaze fiercely.
The air was filled with a smell of burning stench.
Some Spider Web Monster Warriors began to spray poison in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but it was futile.
Unlike a burning bottle, the flamethrower's fire continued steadily, using the sprayed burning fuel to achieve continuous combustion.
The flames deterred the Spider Web Monsters within a thirty-meter range from approaching.
Only after a bottle of fuel was exhausted did the fire pause.
In the Spider Web Monster swarm, at least a hundred were aflame, like alien torches.
Zong Shen unscrewed the empty fuel bottle and prepared to replace it with another.
At this moment, several Spider Prophets not far away had finished chanting, and three Necromancy Arrows shot forth.
The targets were locked onto his upper body, moving too fast to dodge.
Zong Shen decisively chose to turn and lower his head, using the Silver Battle Shield on his back to block.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The three Necromancy Arrows hit the battle shield on Zong Shen's back in succession, their strong impact making him stagger several steps.
[Block]
...
The Necromancy Arrows' damage did not exceed the Silver Battle Shield's shield defense value, so they could not cause damage, only leaving three visible marks on the shield, significantly reducing its durability.
After replacing the fuel, Aisha summoned the first Holy Light Warrior, Dole!
Favide's Fire Rain had also completed its chant, starting to fall at a distance fifty meters ahead!
This location was precisely where the Spider Web Monster swarm was most densely packed.
At this moment, Spider Web Monsters from other places were also gathering around.
If not for the flamethrower's powerful area damage, these Spider Web Monsters might quickly form an encirclement.
To extinguish the flames on their bodies, the Spider Web Monsters could only keep rolling, crowding, or spraying themselves with poison.
The burning pain greatly reduced the action power of these Spider Web Monsters; their flesh was almost cooked.
"Dole, come to the front line and standby!"
"Everyone, get ready. Once the second Holy Light Warrior appears, we will charge!"
Zong Shen raised the flamethrower to continue spraying fire, while the giant wolves of the Wolf Cavalry's fur curled slightly from the proximity to the heat.
This showed the immense power of the flamethrower, undoubtedly a formidable group damage weapon.
Especially since the Spider Web Monsters lacked long-range attack capability, only the Spider Prophets, Weavers, and the Empress had such ability, they couldn't suppress Zong Shen's flamethrower.
No wonder the strategy guide emphasized finding the Goblin Merchant at the sentry camp; this flamethrower was indeed very targeted against the Spider Web Monsters!
The archers and mages in the team were not idle either, using long-range attacks to precisely shoot those Spider Web Monsters.
The entire team stood like a spiny rock, towering in the ocean formed by the Spider Web Monster swarm!
