611 Genesis Part 2 (2/2)
”I have discovered their leader!” Cuisi was exhilarated, the person was actually a high grade professional.
”Don't make any noise, Uncle Fellett, please sustain the spell.” Speaking, Saleen sat down and closed his eyes. In that concentrated white fog, a fist-sized spider prostrated on the ground. It was the witcher spider which had been modified by Saleen.
The core of the spider was now a fragment of the dragonshard. Its appearance was very normal, all the magic patterns had been concealed and magic words filled its complicated pupils.
Joey's technique had caused massive changes to the concealment ability and control method of the witcher spider. The illusory magic array was still around, but it was not an offensive installation. At the moment the witcher spider had received Saleen's order, it was using its eyes to scan the fog on behalf of Saleen.
White fog began converging the surface of the spider's body. The witcher spider, which had been engulfed by white fog, looked like any other creatures in Genesis. The naked eye would not be able to identify the differences.
The witcher spider crawled forward cautiously, the other creatures in the white fog did not attack it. The spider's eyes had been obstructed by the fog, Saleen was only relying on his perception to steer the witcher spider to the location where the leader had appeared just now.
The statue which the red bishop sought shelter at had a base measuring over two yards in height. The witcher spider crawled up along the base. When it reached the edge, it stopped advancing, it simply laid there and waited in silence.
Saleen was extremely patient. The statue's base was not small and the witcher spider was at least five yards away from the target. Launching an offensive rashly would be unfruitful. Saleen only needed to wait like an assassin.
As long as the enemy could not release a high level Magic Shield or divine spell instantly they would not be able to withstand those pincers which could tear through Sword Aura, no matter how powerful they were. A wee bit of poison was also added onto the witcher spider's pincers. Saleen had extracted this poison from the withered leaves of the Tree of Taboo.
Saleen had learned this extraction method from Eleanor, any withered plant would contain some residual toxins. The higher the plant's grade, the scarier the toxins. When the Tree of Taboo died, the poison produced by it was stored in the leaves. Even a god would sustain severe injuries when infected by the poison. A high grade professional would surely be killed.
What an elf would do was to activate such toxins, it was not some simple negative energy.
No one would expect a tiny witcher spider to contain such a horrifying substance. Joey had told Saleen before; the more neglected the enemy, the more perilous they were.
On the road from the Northtown towards Green Dragon Stone all the red dots in the compass representing soldiers had been extinguished. The grand mage told the emblem group commander helplessly, ”Sir, the targets are all dead.”
”All dead?”
”Yes, over a hundred people died at the same time, they must have committed suicide. They were bait and we were to become the next wave of targets for the enemy. Request reinforcements from Holy Rock City, we cannot deal with a trap which made an emblem group commander kill himself.”
This emblem group commander contemplated, ”Since the rescue targets are all dead, then the initial objective is no longer important. What's important is that there are such mighty enemies hiding at a location so close to Holy Rock City. This matter has to be reported to Holy Rock City.”
”Everyone, stop advancing. Mr Guderian, please send a letter to Holy Rock City.”
This team with almost five-thousand people came to a stop slowly. The emblem group commander wrote a letter, then handed it to a grade-5 mage. This grade-5 mage immediately built a teleportation portal and sent the letter back to Holy Rock City.
A one-time use teleportation portal did not require any assembly or carvings, it could send small items back to Holy Rock City's teleportation portal directly.
The mage then began drawing another one-time use teleportation portal on the spot, awaiting orders from the Holy Rock City.
In less than three minutes, a flash of light appeared. A small metal box appeared out of the teleportation portal. The metal box contained a reply from Holy Rock City. The message was simple, ”Travel to Green Dragon Stone immediately and deploy magic equipment at the periphery to destroy everything in Green Dragon Stone. Do not enter rashly and don't try to rescue County Queen Lex's envoy, all this shall wait until the manpower from Holy Rock City arrives.”
The red bishop felt anxious. The genuine Genesis could last for up to a year, there were no enemies it could not kill. This one was a simplified version. At best, it could only last until daybreak. There were insufficient souls for combustion, while the low ranking warriors from the inquisition had been used to maintain the array of this divine spell.
When the red bishop's attention was slightly deflected the witcher spider hiding at the edge of the statue's base moved. It quietly climbed up to the platform approaching the red bishop from behind.
