Chapter 111 - The Terrifying Broodmother (1/2)

As Qin Feng was facing the bugs on the first floor alone, w.a.n.g Chen, driven by fear, had completely sealed away the safe pa.s.sage thereby blocking themselves in from the blood-thirsty monsters below. It was only after seeing the insectoids’ miraculous retreat into the distance was the entrance opened back up as he wanted to meet Qin Feng downstairs as soon as possible.

However, it was right at that moment prior to their meeting when w.a.n.g Chen discovered something that was so scary that it solidified his resolve to offer a truce with Qin Feng.

w.a.n.g Chen led Qin Feng to the window where a sniper rifle was leaning against the windowsill.

“Mr Qin, it’s in that direction!”

Qin Feng peered through the scope after confirming that he was pointing the rifle in the right direction.

The ma.s.sive black rift remained floating in the sky above Han Town from which insectoids would fall out from time to time. However, a noticeable change was that the number of bugs entering this city had grown spa.r.s.er than during the initial stage of the infestation.

The cars that once roamed the busy streets had now been exchanged with these G.o.d-forsaken bugs. Dark-red, almost black colored patches could be observed smeared across the town’s surface, on cars or on the walls to name a few places.

While they were only standing on the second floor of the building, Liu Xue’s influence and standing in Han Town earned them the strategic location that was the hotel. The window Qin Feng was standing at overlooked the once flouris.h.i.+ng street that ran through the central business district and right across the road was a ma.s.sive skysc.r.a.per that was once a trade center.

However, stuck between the two grand buildings was a ma.s.sive spider web.

Resting on the web, was a colossal spider that could easily send chills down the spine of anyone who dared to look at it.

Qin Feng froze as his eyes met the herculean arachnid.

“It’s a beast king!”

The distance between the two buildings was at least seventy to eighty meters wide. Just how was it possible that there was a spider web this big?

Looking closely, each individual spider silk had at least the thickness of a hemp rope. The gigantic eight-legged beast on the other hand, had a body that was at least three to four meters long, the size of a minivan. That was excluding eight of its legs that stretched up to more than ten meters long each.

Such a huge beast, it was the largest Qin Feng had ever seen since his rebirth!

To put the length of ten meters into perspective, if we were to compare it to the floors of your average building, a.s.suming three meters per floor, ten meters would be over three floors tall!

With the spider choosing to spin its web between these two buildings, it was hard to imagine just how devastating its effects would be if further left unchecked.

As if that was not bad enough, hanging on the spider’s web were more than ten coc.o.o.n-like sacs, each roughly around one-tenth the size of the spider.

However, Qin Feng deduced from its shape that they must be the unfortunate ones who had fallen into this beast king’s jaws.

“It’s a steel-limb broodmother!” He Ling interrupted the silence, his voice noticeably shaky. It appeared that he already knew of the spider’s existence.

“Now that it’s food supply is taken care of, the steel-limb broodmother will soon initiate its mating process. From each human body, it could produce up to three hundred steel-limb spiderlings which, only after three days would be mature enough to breed. If that were to happen, we’d be drowned in a sea of spiders!”

Qin Feng’s brows furrowed at the thought of the impending disaster.

What He Ling said was no lie.

Back on the first floor, there were indeed male steel-limb spiders. Despite their smaller size, they were not weak creatures. If not for Qin Feng, the four people standing before him would have been torn to shreds without losing too much of their own.

What this implied was that there would soon be a surge in the number of male spiders out hunting for food.

“We cannot afford to let them breed!”

Qin Feng announced in a stern tone.

“We know that! Still, we don’t have much of a choice here do we? It’s a beast king after all!”

w.a.n.g Chen felt his mouth gowing bitter.

Qin Feng nodded, realising the powerlessness of this bunch of survivors.

“We’ll strike tonight!”

As long as the Verdant Emperor Saber remained unfinished, Qin Feng could not afford to make any rash decisions.

As its name suggested, the limbs of the steel-limb broodmother was not something which could be snapped in two with bare hands.

However, Qin Feng’s announcement was taken with surprise and disbelief by these men.

“Mr Qin, are you saying that you’re gonna kill the beast king tonight?” Yu Hai asked hesitantly before adding on to his initial question, “Say, just how strong have you become now?”

He could not possibly be E-tier, right?

Qin Feng seemed to be right around seventeen, at most eighteen years of age. If he had indeed reached E-tier, then would that not make him an even greater ent.i.ty, with more potential than Liu Xue?
