Chapter 140 The Gap Between Devious Weapons!
Although the battle just lasted only a little over a minute, Wang Changjin had already driven the truck quite a distance in that short time.
Seeing that Wang Changjin had already walked far away, Zhao Hai also spoke up to remind the two of them:
"Hurry up! Brother Tiger, Uncle Wang has already gone quite a distance. We are no match for this thing, hurry up!" Zhao Hai's hoarse voice carried a hint of urging, forcibly suppressing the taste of blood in his throat.
Su Wanyue and Wang Hu had just escaped the entanglement of the human-faced spider, and upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, they retreated towards the truck without hesitation.
"Go!" Without the slightest hesitation, Su Wanyue swung her longsword in a sharp arc, not to attack the enemy, but to sever several sticky spider silk threads that were trying to wrap around her from the side, clearing space for herself and Wang Hu to retreat. Her movements were swift and decisive, carrying the unique resolve of a swordsman, and her figure had already drifted away in the direction where the truck had disappeared.
Wang Hu was even more direct. He roared and stopped trying to attack or block, instead channeling all the power of the Giant Sequence into the defense of his legs and back.
"Lithification!"
With a low growl, Wang Hu's already imposing body seemed to grow even heavier, the rocky sheen on his skin becoming more pronounced. The eerie glow of the [Drowning Abyss Stomach Armor] was mainly concentrated on his back, preparing to withstand any possible attacks that might come his way.
Like a chariot starting up, he strode forward in the direction Su Wanyue had retreated, each step making a dull thud on the ground, and his speed was surprisingly fast. At the same time, he used his massive body to provide cover for Su Wanyue and Zhao Hai, who was further away.
The human-faced spider clearly hadn't expected its prey to so decisively abandon the fight and turn to flee. Its twisted face, contorted with greed and rage, writhed violently, emitting a sharp, rapid hiss, as if cursing.
Its massive body suddenly lunged forward, its eight long legs moving rapidly at an astonishing speed. At the same time, its abdominal spinnerets continuously sprayed out several strands of spider silk, which shot towards the three fleeing people like deadly nooses, especially Wang Hu, who was the last and the largest in size!
"Tiger, watch out!" Zhao Hai, who had already run some distance, glanced back and shouted a warning. At the same time, he had a thought and manipulated several willow-leaf blades that had been scattered and had not yet been retracted to attack the spider's head from the side, trying to disrupt its aim.
Without turning his head, as if he had eyes in the back of his head, Wang Hu, just as the spider silk was about to reach him, suddenly rolled to the side in a clumsy but effective manner, narrowly avoiding the most fatal blows. However, a sticky strand of spider silk still stuck to his left calf with a "snap." A powerful pulling force and a chilling numbness instantly followed!
"Roar!" Wang Hu's eyes turned bloodshot, his left leg muscles bulged, and an earthy yellow light flashed. He actually used his brute strength and the [Drowning Abyss Stomach Armor] to "digest" the part of the energy attached to it, and forcefully offset most of the pulling force. At the same time, he grabbed the spider silk stuck to his leg with his right hand, roared, and pulled hard!
Boom!
He ripped the tough spider silk with tremendous force, but the sticky residue at the break still clung firmly to his trouser leg, emitting a corrosive fumes and a sweet, fishy smell. Wang Hu didn't care. Using the momentum of his forward sprint and roll, he used both hands and feet to get up and continue running wildly. With each step, he felt a burning pain and numbness in his left leg, but his speed did not decrease but increased.
Su Wanyue had caught up with Zhao Hai, and the two of them ran side by side toward the taillights of the truck.
Wang Hu followed closely behind the two.
Seeing that the three had already run some distance, the Man-Faced Demon Spider was about to give chase when the little potato that the old man had made appeared in front of it at some unknown time.
The human-faced spider paused slightly in its forward momentum, and the chaotic features on its distorted face seemed to show a moment of "doubt".
But soon, it let out an impatient hiss, and a long leg with a sharp, sickle-like tip swung forward casually, trying to sweep the annoying little thing aside, or even slice it to pieces.
However, "Little Potato" showed no intention of dodging this blow that could have severed steel bars. A previously inconspicuous crack in the middle of its small body suddenly glowed with a blinding, unstable orange-red light! A rapid, shrill hum of energy seemed to emanate from within, as if some fragile balance was being shattered.
Then--
Boom! ...
A deafening explosion rang out, and a blazing fireball suddenly burst forth from beneath the human-faced spider's abdomen, the violent shockwave sending all the surrounding rubble flying.
However, this human-faced spider is a genuine level 2 anomaly. Although Little Potato's self-destruction was quite powerful, it caused very limited damage to the human-faced spider.
However, that's enough.
During the short period of time that Little Potato self-destructed, Zhao Hai and his two companions caught up with Wang Changjin's truck and got into the driver's seat.
Although the cab only has three seats, four people can still squeeze in.
Moreover, Su Wanyue and Zhao Hai didn't take up much space, since Su Wanyue was sitting directly on Zhao Hai's lap.
Wang Changjin and Wang Hu already knew about the relationship between Zhao Hai and Su Wanyue, so they were not surprised at all!
Seeing that Zhao Hai and the others had already gone far away, the Human-Faced Demon Spider gave up the idea of giving chase and instead began to attack the ordinary survivors not far away...
When Wang Changjin drove the truck to the village entrance, Xu Wenchu was already waiting for them!
After Zhao Hai and the other two got into the truck, Su Wanyue used a loudspeaker to tell Xu Wenchu what had just happened. So, as soon as Xu Wenchu saw the truck drive out of the village, he immediately led the convoy away.
Although they encountered a Level 2 anomaly this time, Wang Hu and Su Wanyue may not have gained much, but Zhao Hai gained a lot!
Putting everything else aside, this level 2 bizarre strength alone allowed Zhao Hai to witness the power gap between a level 2 bizarre being and a Sequence 2 superhuman.
Although the three of them managed to injure the human-faced spider by working together, they themselves were also in bad shape. The mental attacks from the human-faced spider alone were enough to hurt them.
If the fight continues, there is no doubt that they will be the ones to lose!
However, this willow wood sword is indeed the weakest of the strange weapons in the system. It's fine when dealing with level 1 strange creatures, but it's clearly struggling against level 2 strange creatures.
On the contrary, the Abyss Stomach Armor that Wang Hu wore played a very important role in dealing with the human-faced demon spider.
This Abyss Armor has blocked countless attacks for Wang Hu; otherwise, with Wang Hu's fighting style, he would have been seriously injured long ago!
As expected, the difference between the artifacts made from two strange materials and those made from one strange material is still quite significant!
