Chapter 159 Body of Extreme Toughness (1/2)

When deities fight, mortals suffer.

Just the shockwaves from the fight alone were enough to destroy huge swaths of trees within the forest. The monsters hiding in the wings and waiting for a chance to grab some of the spoils of the war fled the scene after seeing the situation.

Director Chen was anxious. Why was this earthworm so petty? His aim was for this successfully promoted Lord tier earthworm to return and have a good ”talk” with the Desert Ruler so that the military could reap the spoils of their war.

It didn't matter which monster won that fight. Gaining either would be a valuable asset.

But this spider… I had no intention of you ”talking” with this spider! It is a pseud-lord that underwent a failed evolution. Its potential is practically zero. Why must you fight it out with the spider?!

Director Chen's heart ached, and he quietly watched to see how things would develop.

The earthworm had only just become a Lord tier monster, and its body was not yet fully recovered. After its initial surprise attack, it found that it had no real advantage over the spider. With a shake of its body, it used its special move to dig into the ground and escape.

A large hole suddenly appeared in the ground. The earth seemed to part as though it had life of its own, and after the Shatuoman Man-Eating Earthworm Lord escaped through the tunnel, it collapsed, the loose earth gradually closing up that hole that had appeared.

The female spider stabbed into the ground in anger and wiggled its limb around, causing the rest of the tunnel to collapse in on itself. With that, the spider lost all trace of the Shatuoman Man-Eating Earthworm Lord.

The Horrifying Violent Female Spider was left with a large number of injuries. After all, it was just a pseudo-lord and not a true lord, so it was at a disadvantage, even against a lord that was just promoted. Its grey skin was covered in scars large and small. Some of them had already healed, while others were still healing.

Gao Peng had seen during the fight that when the Shatuoman Man-Eating Earthworm Lord had bitten the leg of the Horrifying Violent Female Spider, large amounts of grey leg skin had come off. Because of that, the spider actually did not sustain any serious injuries after losing its first leg in the surprise attack; it just lost a layer of white, rubble-like material. Just like how wild boars rub rosin all over their thick fur and then roll in mud to form a sort of armored covering, the spider seemed to have a similar armored hide.

”This female spider expended a lot of energy during the fight, so it might be hungry,” said Uncle Liu, squinting his eyes.

The spider lay on the ground. It was hard to imagine a fifty-foot-long giant spider looking so gentle. Its eight eyes carefully observed the hole on the ground as it circled the tunnel that the earthworm lord escaped from. It looked rather silly.

At last, it realized that the earthworm had escaped for good, and it let out a wail of regret.

In the basin, however, there were still some earthworms left. When their leader had promoted and fled, a group of them had squeezed together in a rush, becoming stuck in a ball. Losing its target, the spider turned its head and looked coldly at the earthworms. Its mouthpiece slowly opened, revealing a set of ferocious fangs.

A swash of white appeared in its mouth, and in the next moment, it shot out a large amount of white silk. The silk spread out in the shape of a fan. Each droplet gathered into white little pearls which scattered in mid-air, forming a large and dense white web.

Feeling something land on them, the earthworms scrambled for escape. Only a few lucky ones managed to flee, but the rest were too slow and got stuck in the spider's web.

The web still had one end connected within the mouth of the Horrifying Violent Female Spider. Just like reeling in a large net, the two pedipalps began to pull the net back toward its mouth.

Gao Peng's eyes widened. To think that it used such a hardworking way to eat its prey! Then, Gao Peng's brain suddenly twitched, and he thought of eating soy bean paste noodles…
