429 Arachnoid Anarchy 1 (1/2)

Zero concentrated the flow of qi into his hands and condensed it together like how he was taught and held the pressure within his palm. With enough energy circulating, it started to glow and Zero opened his eyes to look at the lighted cave.

Thousands of red eyes stared back at him and Zero shuddered. Each creature had eight hairy legs, eight red eyes and they were all looking at him hostilely. Anyone with arachnophobia would have died on the spot and even for those who didn't, they would have faltered and become weak-kneed.

Zero gulped. This was a lot of spiders and Zero wondered how an army of them gathered without him realising.

”Appraisal!”

Ability:

- Motherhood Brood: Allows the monster to share skills from the mother when their siblings have gathered together

Zero shuddered. The skill that interfered with Zero's minimap was Motherhood Brood. These guys alone would be no match for Zero but together, they easily made a few hundred in numbers. Zero didn't know if purely physical attacks and absorption would work with so many enemies. As of now, they didn't seem like they wanted to move from their spot which made Zero more worried. The boss of this dungeon had to be the mother arachnid who was controlling these smaller spiders. It didn't seem to be a regular monster either and displayed higher intelligence.

”What can I do to break free from their formation?” Zero asked. If he reached the mother spider, all these spiders would be no threat. There was also a high chance that the dungeon boss was the mother spider but Zero couldn't be sure.

Lily suggested a targeted spot to attack and breakthrough before running but Wii had a better plan.
