Chapter 433 Unexpected Enemy
Noctor and Cecily's spirits continued to exchange energy, and they both roared almost simultaneously, constantly pouring energy into their spirits.
The warriors on both sides stood up in unison, looking at the two enormous spirits in the sky and the energy waves spreading out like waves, silently cheering for their own side.
Just as the two were focused on their battle, a red crack suddenly appeared in the sky, from which a large number of jet-black spiders poured out. Although there were no webs, these spiders seemed to be able to walk in the air, rapidly spreading out from the crack.
Sitross was the first to see this and immediately said, "Lady Marina, they're here!" Marina looked in the direction he pointed and immediately activated her battle form, shouting, "Prepare for battle! Engage the Void Spiders!" She immediately took to the air and began fighting the jet-black spiders.
Boss, Heynckes, Keltiland, Babar, and others followed closely behind, taking to the air to fight the spiders. Sitros, the only one who couldn't fly, retrieved a large-caliber rifle from the ground and began firing into the sky.
Roddick, Sera, and Lena, who had been intently watching the match, quickly spotted the spiders. They exchanged a glance, each seeing the grim expression on the other's face. Roddick sighed and said, "I didn't expect them to be so fast, already reaching this remote planet. For now, we have no choice but to halt the Interstellar Martial Arts Tournament. We'll discuss our next steps after we've eliminated these spiders."
Nocto, who was engaged in battle, also noticed the approaching spiders. He immediately withdrew his momentum, jumped into the air, and fired two shots, blowing out the two eyeballs of one of the spiders. Cecily was about to give chase when Cynthia stopped her: "Miss Cecily, please wait a moment. We should eliminate our common enemy first."
Li Chenglong looked at Teacher Lena with some puzzlement, only to see her instantly appear in the center of the arena and say, "Everyone, the Interstellar Martial Arts Tournament is temporarily suspended. We need to defeat the spider swarm first, and I will explain later. Also, members at level 10 and below, evacuate this area immediately."
Cynthia shouted, "Warriors of the Royal Guard, prepare for battle!" A flash of light appeared in the hands of the female elven warriors of Roland, followed by long spears taller than their heads, and they plunged into the battle.
Seeing the crowd's reaction, Li Chenglong realized that these black spiders were definitely enemies. He said to the people behind him, "Everyone, let's start fighting. Be careful!" After saying that, he flashed into the sky and began fighting against tens of thousands of spiders.
Then, Zhao Wuji, Nangong Yanran, Yun Lan, and Erica, who possessed the ability to fly, also took to the skies and joined the battle. Smith, Henry, Syndra, and other non-flying warriors fought against the spiders that had already descended to the ground.
These spiders were the size of a regular car, entirely black without a single blemish. Their tails could release blood-red webs, and their mouths could spray green liquid. A level 10 Bozan alien was trapped in the web, instantly paralyzed, unable to move, and torn to pieces by the swarming spiders. Another level 10 Dane alien, after being sprayed with the green liquid, immediately let out a painful scream and dissolved into a pool of pus and blood in less than ten seconds.
After killing several spiders, Li Chenglong noticed a few attempting to ambush Yun Lan, who was focused on fighting. He immediately flashed behind Yun Lan and shouted, "Dimensional Slash!" A blue sword aura slashed horizontally, cutting the charging spiders in two, which fell to the ground.
Just as Yun Lan was about to say something, Li Chenglong addressed everyone present in a loud voice, "These spiders are at least level 11 dual-elemental strong. Everyone be careful." After speaking, Li Chenglong whispered to Yun Lan, "Don't think that just because you have super regenerative abilities, you can always put yourself in danger. If you get injured, I won't let you off the hook." With that, Li Chenglong disappeared from his spot and reappeared among the spider swarm.
Although criticized by Li Chenglong, Yunlan was still very happy. However, after being told that, Yunlan became much more cautious in the subsequent battles.
After Roddick slayed a Void Spider with a single strike, he looked at the red rift in the sky and said to Rena beside him, "If we don't close the dimensional rift, these spiders will keep crawling out of it. Even if we work ourselves to death, we still won't be able to kill all these insects. What do you think we should do?"
Lena swung a ball of light with her right hand, blasting several spiders to pieces: "None of us have the ability to close the dimensional rift. Wait, I remember now, yes, he can do it."
Thinking of this, Lena threw out another ball of light, killing a few more spiders, and then said, "Rodick, you hold them off for now, I have something to take care of."
Li Chenglong was already at full power; in his Level 2 Holy Dragon Blood state, each of his sword strikes could slay dozens of Void Spiders. Lena appeared beside him, saying anxiously, "Li Chenglong, quickly use your ability to control dimensional space to close the rift in the sky. Only then can we win today."
Li Chenglong nodded, and after several instantaneous teleportations, he appeared directly below the rift. He fired a golden and a red beam of energy from each eye, injecting them into the rift. Then, with a gentle wave of his right hand, the rift in the air slowly closed. However, although he seemed to close the rift very easily, only he knew that simply closing this dimensional rift had consumed 30% of his spiritual energy.
Li Chenglong, panting, said, "Closing this dimensional rift is much more tiring than using dimensional travel twice in a row." He took a deep breath and then joined the others in the battle again.
Two hours later, after everyone's all-out battle, they finally eliminated all the spiders. To Li Chenglong and the others' surprise, after being killed, the spiders turned into liquid in a very short time and then gradually disappeared.
Zhao Wuji, unusually flustered, slumped into a chair and said with a wry smile, "I'm so tired. If there were any more spiders, I feel like I wouldn't be able to hold on." Zhao Liying's hair was soaked with sweat and the spider's fluids, sticking to her head and clothes. She awkwardly tidied herself up, then looked at Han Xiaoling, who looked like a little kitten, and burst out laughing.
Han Xiaoling took out a mirror from her storage space, looked at herself and couldn't help but say, "I really want to take a shower. I can't stand it anymore, no, I can't stand it for another second."
Li Chenglong took out some bottled honey grapefruit tea made from black orchid honey from his spiritual energy space and gave one bottle to everyone: "Everyone, drink some first to recover your strength. It's almost 5 pm now, so I guess the martial arts competition won't start again. We'll go back and take a good shower and have a good meal later."
As expected, Cynthia came over after a while and said, "Warriors, today's Interstellar Martial Arts Tournament is temporarily canceled. As for whether it will be held tomorrow, we will notify you separately. You can go back and rest now. Because my subordinates all participated in the battle today, I really didn't have the time or energy to prepare dinner for everyone. Please take care of yourselves. I'm really sorry."
Cynthia bowed slightly at the end to express her apology. Yunlan quickly said, "Not at all. If it weren't for your personal guards today, who knows what would have happened. We should be thanking you. We'll take our leave now and talk about today's events tomorrow morning."
After a brief exchange, Li Chenglong left with the others. Along the way, Li Chenglong questioned Princess Erica and Cecily, trying to learn more about the black spider. However, both women said they had never heard of any spider and this was the first time they had ever seen one. They did, however, say they would contact the fleet that night to ask if they knew anything.
