Chapter 301 - 301 Defeating the Gray Howler, a Greater Crisis!
301 Defeating the Gray Howler, a Greater Crisis!
Not to mention, the one frozen was such a large body with the strength of an intermediate Rank 6. It might only last a dozen seconds.
Moreover, the Heart-protection Mirror’s damage immunity and freezing effect had a cooldown of 120 hours. If he missed this opportunity, he would never get another one.
Meanwhile, Lone Wolf, who had known Bald Eagle for several years, naturally knew the effects of his Epic-grade equipment. Hence, after reuniting with Bald Eagle, he did not hesitate at all.
He directly circulated the spirit energy in his body as if it was free, in order to achieve the fastest speed and the fiercest attack.
At this moment, the two of them were like gangrene attached to the bone, and they launched a fierce attack on the Gray Howler without regard for their lives.
Under the pincer attack of the two experts from the special forces, the Gray Howler, who had been in an offensive state the entire time, suddenly became flustered.
The Gray Howler’s brief confusion also gave both of them the best opportunity.
Lone Wolf directly transformed into an assassin in the game and launched a self-sacrificing attack on the Gray Howler.
He almost ignored the Gray Howler’s attack, only hoping to use his own flesh and blood in exchange for an opportunity to attack.
Fortunately, with Bald Eagle’s cooperation, Lone Wolf did not suffer much damage, and he successfully sent the Spirit Wave Sword into Gray Howler’s neck!
Under the terrifying heat wave that could instantly vaporize steel, the nearly four-meter-tall Gray Howler shriveled up in an instant.
He did not even time to scream before he died on the spot!
Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf had both paid a huge price for this.
The spirit energy in their bodies had been completely consumed. A large piece of flesh had been cut out of Lone Wolf’s left arm, and blood was flowing out.
Bald Eagle’s chest had also been grazed by the monster’s punch, and he was almost out of breath.
Ever since they entered the military, it was their first time being in such a sorry state. Fortunately, the biggest hidden danger had been removed.
The two of them were already powerless against the remaining Pit Spiders, but at least their destructive power was not as strong as the Gray Howler’s.
By now, the City Defense Army should have already gone to get help!
Bald Eagle’s face was pale as he clutched his chest. He had suffered a long-distance impact that had inevitably broken his ribs. On top of that, the current situation was bad, and getting out alive was an extravagant hope.
He looked at the life-like ice sculpture not far away, which had many cracks.
He laughed miserably, his face full of self-mockery.
“Hurry up and leave. Don’t die in this d*mn place.”
Lone Wolf bit on a bandage and used it to wrap the wound on his left arm, which was now missing a large chunk of flesh. At the same time, he spoke in a muffled voice.
Bald Eagle looked back and saw that Lone Wolf’s left arm was already dyed red with blood. He suddenly felt that he had let Lone Wolf down.
If the previous incident had not happened, if they had seen through the Gray Howler’s tricks earlier, perhaps things would not have been so bad. And he, an expert like Lone Wolf, would have likely reached the seven-star rank in the next few years.
He would not have fallen to such a state.
Bald Eagle gritted his teeth, and his grip on the Spirit Wave Sword tightened.
“Pit Spider, right? Since you’re treating us as food, then be prepared to have a few of your legs cut off.”
His eyes were fierce as he spoke, and the aura around him remained turbulent.
His expression of guilt and sorrow disappeared.
“Let’s leave this place first. We’ll make plans when we get back. Lushui County is huge. If we find a few more people, we won’t have to worry about not being able to deal with this beast!”
Seeing that Bald Eagle was ready to fight to the death, Lone Wolf immediately went forward to dissuade him.
However, just as his words fell like spider webs, the ice sculpture with countless cracks could no longer hold and completely collapsed!
“Roar!”
The Pit Spider struggled out of the hole, its heart filled with rage as it roared madly at the two humans in front of it.
They had actually killed the Gray Howler. It was undoubtedly a provocation and a trampling on its dignity.
Even though its body temperature was too low for it to run quickly, the Pit Spider had already made its plans while it was frozen.
Although beasts did not have the intelligence of humans, beasts of Rank 6 and above knew how to act according to the battle situation. They were well aware of tactics such as ambushes and sneak attacks.
Therefore, the moment it was frozen, it understood that it had fallen into that person’s trap.
Hence, it quickly thought of countless ways to kill the human, including turning him into a petri dish for its offspring.
As it roared, the Pit Spider began to shake its body.
Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf’s expressions changed drastically.
The moment they witnessed the scene, the two of them were reminded of horrible things.
Before entering the Special Forces, every soldier had to learn a lot of knowledge and gain combat experience.
The Rampaging Beast Guide was one of the manuals that one needed to know by heart.
However, after they entered the Special Forces and became captains, they gradually forgot about it.
They only remembered the beast’s weakness and appearance.
They had completely forgotten its habits.
However, the two of them had always remembered the information about the Pit Spiders.
It was just that no such thing had happened during the previous intense battle.
They had originally thought that this huge Pit Spider was a male, never considering that it was a female.
In reality, the female Pit Spider did not come in a black species, and the black spot on its surface actually consisted of small underground Pit Spiders that had just hatched and were following their mother!
The moment Bald Eagle thought of the Pit Spider’s black surface, which was made up of a dense horde of spiders, he felt a chill run down his spine!
One should know that the Pit Spider was a ferocious beast, but it was fond of feasting on rotten flesh and blood
Those newly-hatched Pit Spiders, on the other hand, did not seem to favor scavenging.
They were more willing to survive off of living animals.
If Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf were parasitized by thousands of small Pit Spiders, would that not be worse than death?
Thinking of this, Bald Eagle’s heart went numb. If it really came to that, he would rather use the Spirit Wave Sword to sever his own head.
Seeing the approaching black “waves” of creatures the size of puppies, Bald Eagle stopped hesitating. He took out the magic crystal cannon and fired a cannonball at the group of small spiders closest to him.
The energy reserves of the magic crystal cannons were limited, and they usually needed to be replaced with energy stones or recharged after 20 shots.
However, Bald Eagle could not care less about solving that problem now. He aimed at the target and fired a shot.
The violent energy fluctuations and power of the explosion cleared all the small spiders within a 10-meter radius.
The Pit Spiders not far away saw this and attacked more fiercely.
Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf’s hearts tightened. They were already like arrows at the end of their flight.
As long as the other side pulled them in a little, they would both become the Pit Spiders’ dinner due to their lack of spirit energy.
Thinking of this, Lone Wolf immediately took out the Invisibility Armor and quickly put it on.
“Run! I have the Invisibility Armor! These things can’t hurt me!” Lone Wolf shouted and immediately snatched the magic crystal cannon from Bald Eagle’s hands.
How could Bald Eagle let Lone Wolf, who had a weak leg, face such danger on his own? Moreover, if something happened to Lone Wolf, he would not be able to face their military leaders.
