Although the mirage mission began not long ago, rod had already been in his heart and had a deep vigilance.
The sudden abnormal change disrupted rod's original rhythm. He had to face the existence of manipulating all this behind him, that is, the believer of the king of disease, the spider lady who spread the disease.
Follow those spiders away, and soon something different appears in front of rod's eyes.
The ground nearby is covered with scorch marks produced by burning. A large number of dead spiders are left here, and flames are burning on their bodies. Even so, there are still countless spiders moving towards here one after another, trying to spread the disease in their bodies to the besieged Crusaders in the center.
Samson, a high-level swordsman who had previously left the house, was also among the Crusaders.
Trapped here, the Crusaders gave up their swords at this moment, picked up the burning torch and waved it to the ground at their feet, in order to push back the spiders.
Even Samson, a high-level swordsman, had to rely on the power of fire at the moment, but he did not wave the torch like other Crusaders, but grasped the blade of fire.
Flame has a good expelling effect on these spiders. For a moment, no spider can hurt the Crusaders in the field. On the contrary, it opens up the space for the Crusaders to move and display their strength.
This discovery undoubtedly made rod realize something. If fire can restrain spiders, then as long as there are powerful casters and fire walls made of fire, these spiders can't get close at all.
Magic is always the most efficient means than the conventional way.
As the fire burned, the Crusader's condition was relieved. On the contrary, the nearby spiders were seriously injured.
Just as rod was observing the situation in the field, Samson said in a high voice: "we can't be trapped here! According to the number of the patrol, the first two teams are responsible for clearing out the escape route, and the rest follow me to the city for rescue. "
Maybe the spiders who were forced to retreat gave the high-level swordsman some confidence. Under his command, the nearby Crusaders immediately took action and divided into two different teams and went to two different directions.
Noting that the Crusaders were divided into two groups, rod hesitated a little. He could only follow one of them and had no time to take care of what happened on the other side.
After thinking about it in his heart, rod made his own decision. From the perspective of spider lady, she will not deal with the strongest high-level swordsman in the city in the first place. Instead, she will leave him in the last place and clean up the help of the high-level swordsman first.
The Crusaders who stay where they are and clear the way are undoubtedly the best first choice. After clearing them, they can effectively disintegrate the forces belonging to Samson.
After discovering this, rod stopped following the idea of Samson and his party, and turned to stay where he was, ready to see if Ms. spider would do as she thought.
After waiting for a while, the ground under rod's feet suddenly vibrated violently, and the small stones nearby made a sound of crumbling.
In the center of the Crusader formation, the ground suddenly split a wide gap, and several slender dark blades protruded from the gap, pressing the Crusader with his armor on the ground. For a moment, the whole Crusader formation fell into chaos.
In the distance, rod saw the source of the abnormal changes. What he saw out of the cracks in the ground was not a dark blade, but a spider leg that was magnified by many times. The fur on it was as hard as a barb, which also explained this to rod.
A huge spider came out from the center of the Crusader formation. Its size was several times larger than that of the Crusader. Under the collision, the Crusader formation was instantly destroyed.
In the face of the enemy, the Crusader's daily training was completely useless. They didn't know how to meet the enemy, let alone the threat they faced, which was not just from the giant spider.
Under the collision of giant spiders, Crusaders fell on the ground and soon covered with small spiders. The small spiders drilled in along the cracks of their armor.
The crusader who found something strange was frantically scratching outside his armor, but it didn't help. He couldn't take off his armor for a while and a half, and finally fell to the ground. His life and death were unknown.
Even fire can't stop giant spiders from crashing. Maybe it's because the flame is too small. In the eyes of giant spiders, the torch held high by the Crusaders is just a small flame. For a time, the Crusaders lost all the means to counter.
Looking at the giant spider in the field, rod's eyes narrowed slightly. In his perception, it should have five levels of strength. If it has any special ability, its strength can even reach six levels.
Unfortunately, the nearby Crusaders could not force out the real ability of the giant spider, but they were quickly wiped out under its collision.
Under rod's gaze, the Crusaders were soon destroyed. The dark yellow viscous liquid flowed along the cracks of their armor, and the nearby spiders were sucking happily.
Even the giant spider, after destroying the nearby Crusaders, also stopped its own action, and bent down in place, as if waiting for something.
Seeing this, rod thought a little, then decided not to wait any longer and took the initiative to step forward.
Although rod doesn't know what method Ms. spider relies on to control these tiny spiders, those tiny spiders may have told Ms. spider of their existence for a long time. Even if they continue to hide, it's meaningless.
From the rear out, and soon, rod came to the giant spider prone.
Being watched by the giant spider's eight dark red eyes, rod's expression remained unchanged and asked slowly, "are you spider lady?"
"Of course not."
The answer to rod's question was not the giant spider in front of him, but the voice came from another direction.
Along the way, in the pack of spiders, rod saw a woman walking slowly.
She was wearing a long black dress with a veil on her face. Only her eyes were exposed. Her eyes were bright, like the light in the night.
On top of her head, there is a big spider lying on her stomach. Eight spider legs fall from both sides of her cheek, like wearing a unique crown for her.
"Spider lady..." feeling her strong momentum, also recognized her identity.
Besides, Rhodes felt as like as two peas of her own familiar breath, which is the same breath of the king of the disease as the smell of the spider's body.
