Chapter 26 Whispers of the Gods, The Hunt!
"hiss--"
The Phantom Spider let out an angry shriek.
It never expected that its proud mental shielding and optical cloaking would be so easily seen through!
After suffering a small loss, it became even more cunning.
The enormous body instantly became ethereal, as if merging into the air, and disappeared from everyone's sight once again.
At the same time, an even more powerful mental shock, like an invisible tide,
It swept towards everyone present!
"what!"
"My head! It hurts so much!"
The new recruits on the training field collapsed instantly, clutching their heads and writhing in pain on the ground.
Even Qin Bing felt dizzy and her vision began to distort and blur.
She saw that the walls of the base were twisted and deformed like melting candles.
On the ground, countless pale arms burst forth from the earth, reaching out to grab her.
Even more terrifying, she saw that Elder Long was bound by countless spider silks, hanging in mid-air, and painfully begging her for help!
"Elder Long!"
Qin Bingxin was shocked, even though she knew it might be an illusion.
But concern clouded her judgment, and she instinctively raised the knife, intending to rush over.
"It's all fake! Don't be fooled!"
Just as she was about to be completely consumed by the hallucination, Su Chen's cold and clear voice exploded in her mind like a thunderclap!
"It's five meters behind you! On the ceiling light! Get ready to spray venom!"
This voice seemed to carry a power that could dispel all illusions.
The illusion before Qin Bing's eyes shattered instantly, like glass!
She turned around abruptly and, sure enough, saw a blurry black shadow wriggling in the shadow of the ceiling chandelier.
A barbed mouthpart was already aimed at her back, gathering a glob of disgusting, dark purple liquid!
Cold sweat instantly soaked her back.
If it weren't for Su Chen's reminder, she would have been seriously injured, if not killed, just now!
"Damn it!"
Qin Bing cursed angrily, no longer daring to be careless in the slightest.
She abandoned all her judgment and thought, surrendering her entire being to the man's voice in her earpiece.
From this moment on, she was no longer "Ice Phoenix," she was just a blade, the sharpest and most obedient blade!
And Su Chen is the one who wields the knife!
"Roll to the right!"
Without hesitation, Qin Bing rolled to the right. A jet of deep purple venom grazed her scalp, corroding the ground where she had just stood, leaving a sizzling mark.
Hole.
"Stand up! Face the three o'clock direction and release the ice wall at a thirty-degree angle!"
Qin Bing stood up, and a burst of cold air erupted, causing a huge ice wall to rise from the ground.
The Illusionary Brain Spider, which had just become invisible again, crashed headfirst into the ice wall with a muffled thud, revealing itself once more.
"Lin Xue! Don't stop!"
"Use your ice to freeze all the ground around it! Restrict its movement!"
Su Chen's calm voice reached Lin Xue's ears.
Although the girl was still afraid, under Su Chen's command, she found that her terrifying power was not so difficult to control.
She gritted her teeth and kept releasing the cold energy from her body, turning the area around the Illusionary Brain Spider into a slippery ice rink.
The Phantom Spider was completely on the defensive.
Its pride in stealth and speed became meaningless under Su Chen's omniscient and omnipotent "prophetic eye".
Su Chen anticipated every move it made and every attack it launched.
Qin Bing, on the other hand, has completely transformed into a highly precise killing machine.
Su Chen's instructions were her nerves.
"Charge forward five steps, leap up, blade pointing downwards!"
"Move half a meter to the left, then slash horizontally! The target is its second leg on the left!"
"Retreat! Three consecutive ice spikes! Block off the space above it!"
The entire training ground became a stage for Qin Bing and Lin Xue to perform.
Under Su Chen's command, the two executed an incredible, almost artistic, teamwork.
Qin Bing's combat skills are ruthless and precise, but her speed and reaction when gathering power are slightly lacking.
Lin Xue's S-class "Frost" ability is powerful but lacks control.
Under Su Chen's command, the two forces were perfectly integrated!
"Lin Xue! Make three ice spikes the size of a human head! Smash them at its head!"
"Qin Bing! Use your blade to guide those three ice spikes! Change their trajectory! Attack the Demon Spider from the top, left, and right!"
This is simply a fantasy!
Using a knife to guide a high-speed flying ice spike?
What terrifying computing power and control would that require?
But Qin Bing did it!
Under Su Chen's precise instructions, "Shift three centimeters to the left" and "Press the blade down five degrees,"...
Her blade seemed to possess magic, like the most precise instrument; with three delicate collisions, it changed the direction of the three raging ice spikes.
Like three precision-guided missiles, they sealed off all of the Phantom Spider's escape routes!
"Hiss!"
The Phantom Spider let out a desperate screech as it was struck by three ice spikes simultaneously. Its massive body was blasted backward, covered in frost.
"Now!"
Su Chen's voice suddenly turned sharp!
"Its core is below its abdomen! There's a section of its carapace that's the lightest in color there! It's exposed for half a second every three seconds due to breathing!"
"Follow my command!"
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
"prick!"
The instant the word "stab" was uttered, Qin Bing's body transformed into a white lightning bolt!
Her person and her sword seemed to be one!
All the strength and all the beliefs were concentrated on this final blow!
puff!
A dull thud as a sharp weapon pierced flesh!
Qin Bing's longsword pierced precisely into the core of the constantly shifting abdomen of the Illusionary Brain Spider!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
The massive body of the Phantom Spider froze in place, then crashed to the ground, never to be heard again.
The battle is over.
The entire training ground was deathly silent.
Lin Xue stared blankly at her hands, then at the huge monster's corpse on the ground, her face filled with disbelief.
I...I actually...defeated such a terrifying monster?
An unprecedented sense of confidence and power welled up from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Bing, on the other hand, was kneeling on one knee, breathing heavily.
Leaning on her knife, she slowly raised her head, looking over the spider's corpse towards the observation room on the second floor.
Her eyes no longer held only the admiration and trust they once had.
It was a deep reverence, like a mortal looking up to a god, and a strange emotion that she herself was unaware of.
This man...
He really can see the future!
