Doomsday: with unlimited warehouse system-Chapter 280 Devious Schemes
The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider looked at the corpse of the mutated gray wolf in front of it and then lifted its head to gaze at David. Its eye-covered head rotated constantly, sensing the danger it was in. Despite this, the creature didn't show any signs of fear; instead, it provocatively emitted a couple of chilling cries towards David. The cries were particularly eerie, resembling those of an unknown creature crawling out of hell.
Even after its cries, it started to move toward David. Sharp spikes covered its slender legs, and its powerful strength caused the ground beneath it to crack open with each step.
"Not good. The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider is in battle mode now, and it likely views everything in front of it as an enemy. Once it engages in combat, we'll probably be in trouble," Viola continued to speak about the terrifying aspects of the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider. Her eyebrows furrowed deeply. She knew David had strength; he could kill a Purple-Gold Winged Tiger.
But the creature in front of them was the fourth-ranked super exotic beast in the Forest of Beasts. Its strength surpassed that of the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger in various aspects.
Observing the fresh corpse of the gray wolf, Viola guessed that the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider had just hunted it. In other words, the aura of battle from its recent fight hadn't yet faded when they stumbled upon it.
Viola suddenly felt unlucky. A Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider at its full combat potential was terrifying, and she knew just how fearsome it was. She turned her head to look at David, but his expression remained carefree.
After thinking for a moment, Viola decided that no matter what, she had to persuade David to leave this dangerous place. The opponent they faced this time had exceeded their expectations, and she didn't want to die here.
"David, let's go. We really aren't a match for this creature," Viola hesitated and spoke these words.
Upon hearing her, David looked at her and said with a smile, "Just stand here obediently. I'll protect you. Later, you can let your subordinates have a taste of its body. It's not a bad choice." David played with the circular jade pendant in his hand, his tone relaxed.
"But this is the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider! The fourth-ranked exotic beast in the Forest of Beasts. Even the Zerg would take some time to deal with it. I don't want the base or the Dongpo pork anymore. I just hope you'll leave here quickly," Viola's expression grew more serious as she spoke.
Viola admitted that she had indeed followed David here for those two things. However, she now felt they were no longer important. Her life was what mattered most.
In other words, Viola believed that David's life was the most important. After a day and a half of being together, she had learned about the strength of this human. But even so, no one could handle these four super exotic beasts.
"I hope you can make it out alive," she said softly as a parting word.
"Make it out alive? Heh, I'll take your good wishes," David replied, then glanced at Mandy. Mandy understood his look and tightly gripped her triangular-bladed dagger before charging towards the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider. 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
At this moment, the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider saw the two of them talking, yet completely ignoring its presence. This enraged it, after all, it was a ruler of the Forest of Beasts. How could it be disregarded by mere humans and Kui tribe members? Coupled with its recent battle, its thirst for blood hadn't completely subsided. It quickly charged towards Mandy.
As it neared Mandy, it suddenly used its spiked legs to push off the ground, leaping high into the air. The sharp spikes, gleaming like freshly honed blades, emitted a cold light as it aimed to cleave Mandy's head without hesitation.
Armed with the triangular-bladed dagger, Mandy remained completely composed. Her speed increased in the blink of an eye, and she raised the dagger to slash across the abdomen of the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider as it lunged at her.
The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider, however, was particularly cunning and had already seen through Mandy's attack pattern. Just as the triangular-bladed dagger was about to touch it, the spider abruptly turned in midair, its mouth full of teeth opening wide and snapping toward Mandy's arm, emitting an excited sound as it did so.
Mandy immediately evaded, but her speed was still a bit slow, resulting in the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider inflicting a gash on her arm. Seeing the newly exposed flesh torn so quickly, Mandy grew furious. Her eyebrows knitted tightly as she clutched the triangular-bladed dagger and charged once again at the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider.
The Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider, now successful in its attack, continued to swing its legs and engage in combat with Mandy. The triple-edged dagger forged from mystic iron was incredibly tough and sharp, causing sparks to fly with every impact against its legs. She and the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider exchanged blows, relentlessly targeting each other's weak points. The debris from the shattered rocks and withered trees around them bore testament to their fierce battle.
Although David's level was related to Mandy's strength, she was still a strawman in the end. Therefore, there was still a slight gap between her abilities and David's true strength. She couldn't fully unleash his potential.
Meanwhile, the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider was relentless, slowly wearing down Mandy. As the battle continued, she sustained additional wounds.
Watching the combat scene, Viola grew even more anxious. From her perspective, the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider held an overwhelming advantage. Unlike the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger, this creature possessed a variety of attack methods and was crafty enough to discern its opponent's attack patterns. Engaging it was a highly troublesome endeavor.
Viola turned to David again and urgently said, "No, we're simply not a match for it! We should retreat now while we still can. If we wait any longer, we won't have the time."
Even if David didn't intervene, she felt the outcome was already clear. However, David remained motionless, standing there and observing Mandy attacking the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider. David had instructed Mandy to engage in combat, not with the intent to instantly defeat the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider. He knew that Mandy's current strength might only be sufficient to handle a Seven-Poison Python. She was simply not a match for the current foe.
The reason he had Mandy fight was twofold: first, he wanted her to adapt to the environment as quickly as possible, and second, he wanted to understand the Thunder-Speed Saint Hot Spider's attacking methods. Through their battle just now, he had realized that this creature was indeed as ferocious as Viola had described, and it employed cunning tactics. This indicated that it was much smarter than the Purple-Gold Winged Tiger and even surpassed 80% of other exotic beasts in intelligence. This gave David a clearer understanding.
However, David's expression remained unchanged. To him, no matter how strong a spider was, could it really compare to a human? Moreover, he had come to the wasteland world fully aware that he would face countless challenges and horrifying undead monsters. He knew he couldn't retreat. He had the strength to kill this creature on his own turf.
