Chapter 1978 - Shaking Off the Enemy (2/2)

Ai Jiangtu had a good temper, and actually tolerated it. He knew it was meaningless to argue among themselves when their lives were at stake.

The ninth team was at the back of the group again. The Bone-Eating Spiders that were appearing from the cracks and walls were trying to keep them busy.

They no longer had to rely on Nanyu’s hearing, as the entire Rift Valley was shaking now. The Mailong Private Military Group was under a lot of pressure. They wondered if the oncoming flood was going to be upon them in the next second!

The Mailong Private Military Group worked even harder to eliminate the Bone-Eating Spiders. The blood of the spiders was pouring down the slope like a stream and formed a pool of gore at the lower ground. Their remains rolled down the slope and piled up at the bottom.

Overall, the Mailong Private Military Group was quite strong. The Bone-Eating Spiders found them unstoppable. The low-level Bone-Eating Spiders had no chance of even slowing them. They were already eighty meters above the lowest ground.

They stood on the slope and looked back at the canyon and the valley. They thought the landslide would be similar to a river flowing into the canyon. It would follow the structure of the canyon, but the flood’s momentum was crazier than everyone had imagined. It was like a steel magic dragon ramming into the walls and leaving the area in ruins. The canyon was now twice as big!

The mudslide was getting closer. Luckily, the ninth team made a final push and claimed a higher location, or someone might have been caught by the destructive landslide.

Everyone felt like they had temporarily lost their hearing beneath the deafening noise the mudslide was producing.

The flash flood swept past like a terrifying dark brown dragon, and everyone witnessed the utter destruction it brought. They were relieved they had reached the slope and cleared a path forcibly in time.

“How terrifying!” Jiang Shaoxu exclaimed.

She had thought the mudslide would just be an ordinary occurrence before, but after witnessing its destruction, she realized how minuscule she was. Even those with outstanding cultivation had no chance of surviving it.

“These Bone-Eating Spiders are very cunning. They retreated immediately when they figured out the mudslide wasn’t going to bury us. They left quicker than a falling tide!” Zhao Manyan noticed.

“They know how to abuse their advantages and avoid unfavorable situations. They chose to wait for their next prey patiently when they weren’t confident enough to take us down. The spiders just need to rebuild their spiderwebs when a powerful creature runs through them. They just need to be patient,” Lingling said.

The threat posed by the Bone-Eating Spiders had been beyond everyone’s expectations.

After doing a quick headcount, the Mailong Private Military Group had lost around ten people. They had remained in formation while they were clearing a path on the slope, which minimized the losses. Their main losses were in the valley where the Camouflage Bone-Eating Spiders dragged some of their members into the ground.

There was nothing they could do about it. If it weren’t for the mudslide, they could still have saved their comrades. They would not abandon anyone if they were still alive, but they were left with no choice with the terrifying flash flood coming right at them!

“We’ve encountered so many obstacles, and we are only at the barren layer. Won’t the situation and demon creatures at the higher altitude be a lot worse?” Guan Yu spoke up. “The Mailong Private Military Group is quite impressive. If it was some other group with a weak mentality, the Bone-Eating Spiders might actually have dragged the battle out until we were all buried under the ground.”
