Chapter 41 Brood Mother (2/2)

”Alright!” Hearing this, many of them ordered their Familiars to increase the pace of attack.

The brood mother did not strike back. It was in a strange condition, most likely preparing to give birth to its young. But that did not matter. They would take the opportunity to strike it at its weakest.

The intervals between attacks grew shorter and shorter and the white foam covering the brood mother gradually got blown away. A few attacks managed to land on its body, causing gaping wounds that leaked a dark, yellow fluid.

Seeing the brood mother hurt, the groups of people there got excited, ordering their Familiars to continue attacking. They themselves retreated, avoiding the battlefield.

A Four-Winged Jade Devil Mantis charged forward, leaving behind an afterimage. It drew its two bladed limbs inwards, forming the figure of a cross.

Puchiii!

Even after raising the crystal film to protect its eyes, they were easily slashed apart by the jade green blades.

Shattered pieces of the crystal film scattered into the air and rained down from above.

Screeeeecch!!!

The brood mother lost its calm demeanor. Its dark yellow eyes suddenly lit up, glaring at the humans with a golden piercing gaze. Its sharp screech reverberated across the cave.

Some Monster Trainers fell to their knees, painfully clutching their ears. Blood seeped out from between their fingers.

Huuuu-

The sound of roaring wind could be heard as one of the thick spider legs suddenly pulled from the ground.

In mid-air, the Four-Winged Jade Devil Mantis desperately flapped its wings and twisted its body, barely dodging the spider leg that stabbed at it like a giant spear. The spider leg effortlessly pierced through layers of rock, as though it were cutting butter.

A deep breathing sound echoed throughout the cavern. The brood mother that was lying in a bubble of foam all along slowly got up and stretched its limbs.

Each of its limbs was over ten meters long, like long spears that stuck into the ground, causing the ground to crack and split.

The gray spider legs were also densely covered with sharp hairs that hooked upwards. Its mouthparts were as large as a table, and looked like a blooming chrysanthemum flower. They opened and closed, releasing a foul smell into the air.

Its hulking size along with is ferocious appearance gave it the look of a lethal predator.

Who said the brood mother had little combat strength?

Everyone in the cavern was silently cursing.

We've been had! This mission was a huge set-up, and we've all been had!

Captain Song finally remembered why the look in the brood mother's eyes were so familiar. They were the same eyes that the Lord of the Dark Ember had. The eyes of one being high above all else, looking down on all the low levelled Familiars!

At the bottom of the brood mother, a deformed and incomplete halo was slowly rotating. Compared to the halo of the Lord of the Dark Ember, the one that the brood mother had was only a tenth of the Lord of the Dark Ember's, and was extremely deformed.

This was a monster at the peak of the commander tier, that was in the midst of evolution!

It was evident to them that they had disrupted the evolution process of this monster. Even a fool would be able to expect the ferocity of the wrath that they had incurred.

”Run!” Liu Senlin very decisively came to such a conclusion. He immediately called for his Four-Winged Jade Devil Mantis. He rode atop his Familiar's back and fled.
