Chapter 368: Assassination (1/2)

Chapter 368: Assassination

The spider people were half human and half spider, but one shouldn’t think that their top half was the exact same as that of a human’s.Even ignoring the bottom spider half, the upper half was like that of a human, but they were still a completely different race from the humans.

First, they did not have mouths and had mouth holes similar to arthropods with two venomous parts sticking out, looking very fierce.The spider people also had insect eyes and a total of four eyes. Their hairs were grey white in colour and it grew very sparsely

Just describing this was enough to imagine just how ugly of a being they were.

Of course, ugly was relative.After all, appraising everything with human standards, there were going to be limits.In the eyes of Spirit Insects, weren’t humans ugly?

Of the spider people’s eight legs, six were slender just like iron blades and the front two were very thick, easily unearthing the ground.Actually the spider people were a commonly seen Spirit Insect. They were sly and ruthless, good at using traps, and often used poison. The majority of them were experience hunters.

The sounds coming from inside the storage room attracted the attention of the guards.

The few spider men came in to inspect and their knife like legs made clear sounds as they moved across the metal on the ground.Actually the legs of the spider people were special, not only could they easily unearth the ground, they could absorb spirit energy to allow them to walk on walls or even walk on the ceiling.

No matter what the terrain was, it couldn’t stop the spider people.

As well, the spider people’s legs were covered in fur.This fur was not just ornamental and it could use the spirit energy only the spider people had.This spirit energy could be sent several meters away and if they encountered any kind of vibration, it would not escape the detection of the spider people.

The spider people inspected everything and did not find anything strange.

Were they being too sensitive?

When the spider people’s minds were filled with doubt, they suddenly felt something.It was a very soft vibration, just like a sound coming from beneath their feet.

When the spider people looked down, a blue white frost quickly spread from the metal beneath them.They did not even have time to think this was bad before the frost quickly came out. The spider people did not even have time to react before they were turned into ice sculptures.

Chu Tian hit each ice sculpture with his blade and they instantly shattered to pieces.

“Make use of this time!”

The little fox was not too willing as he took out the eyeball.It spread its Divine Sense through the divine eyeball and the entire Oldman Mine, even the smallest detail could not escape his detection.

In a magnificent palace on the second floor, there was a tall and strong spider person who was currently resting in a large pile of dwarf treasures, only revealing half his body.This spider person was not the same as the others. Although he was also half spider and half human, his build was at least double that of a normal spider person!

The skin of his upper half was dark blue and he was covered in strange totems and incantations.He was wearing a beautiful armour as well as purely ornamental cloak, with an over three meter laying beside him.

That’s right.

This was surely the Spider Count, Kanun!

Kanun was sleeping soundly, but surrounding the palace was a dense web of spider silk.When the little fox’s Divine Sense entered the palace, almost all the strands of spider silk began to shake.These vibrations followed the thread into the pillar and the ground before reaching the structure surrounding Kanun’s legs.

Hu!

Kanun’s body rose from within the countless treasures and the ugly Spirit Insect face was filled with vigilance, “Divine Sense?Someone is spying on us with Divine Sense. There was a mouse that snuck in!”

When they heard the leader’s voice.

Several hundred elite spider race warriors charged in.

“Search!”Kanun angrily roared, “They should be close, have everyone gather here.Find that mouse for me!”

Almost instantly, several thousand spider people gathered together.They quickly searched high and low, quickly searching around the main hall.

The little fox put away the eyeball and gestured a few times to Chu Tian.

Vivian asked, “Did it find him?”

“It did, but it’s a bit bad.We have already been found.”

“What?How did they notice us!”

Chu Tian never would have thought that the spider race would have this kind of special ability.Not only would the spider silk tremble from normal vibrations and energy, it could even sense Divine Sense scanning.This was very rare.

“Kanun has gathered his army, it is impossible to ambush him now.The entire mine is filled with spider people searching for us, once they find our position, it will be impossible to complete our task.

Their faces all fell slightly.

Although the five of them were very strong, they could not resist being surrounded by tens of thousands of people!

Not to mention the fact that from the dwarf’s descriptions, Kanun was a True Spirit Realm expert!

They thought they could use Vivian’s spatial skills to easily assassinate them, but who would have thought this accident would occur?They had underestimated these insects!

Meng Yingying nervously asked, “What should we do?”

“This matter is a bit troublesome, but there’s no need to worry.”Chu Tian maintained his calm. It actually wasn’t all that scary, “The little fox using the divine eyeball to release its Divine Sense is directly jumping over space to investigate a spot, this is different from normally releasing one’s Divine Sense.Kanun will definitely focus on searching the surrounding area first and when that fails, he will gradually send people further. When the troops slowly spread out, we will choose that time to strike!”

“Alright!”
