Chapter 817 Blackwood Forest
They continued walking, entering deep into Blackwood Forest.
A few of them had lingering fears and were hesitating about whether they should continue.
"Zena, can we defeat the enemy if we go in?"
"I'm not sure, but evil beasts are usually stronger than normal."
"Most importantly, a creature of that caliber will be very aggressive."
"Even if it were much weaker than us, it would still risk its life to exchange for the enemy's life!"
"In short, it's not a beast that can be easily dealt with."
"You should know that no one has ever dared to enter this Blackwood Forest in the history of Black Rock City!"
Zena explained their predicament firmly.
Han Xuefei looked at the two of them and replied calmly and confidently, "With the two of us here, let's just go in and take a look."
Zena and Helen looked at Lu Yu and Han Xuefei, nodding at them.
"Alright, let's go in and see what's inside!" Zena clenched her fists and decided.
Afterward, the group of nearly ten continued into Blackwood Forest.
The deeper they went, the more eerie their surroundings became.
Gradually, a layer of white mist rose around them.
The surrounding trees also turned completely black.
A gloomy and oppressive atmosphere enveloped them, making them feel a little uneasy.
Lu Yu held his Star Piercing Demonic Sword tightly, but he was not afraid of his surroundings.
As he continued to walk forward, Lu Yu saw that there seemed to be increasing amounts of spider webs around him.
The silk threads of these spider webs were not thin; they were about the same thickness as the threads used to knit sweaters.
The dense spider silk wrapped around the tree trunks, turning the entire tree into a web of threads.
More and more spider silk gathered around everyone.
"It seems that the evil creature here is a spider!"
Lu Yu saw the corpses of wild beasts hanging on the trees around him.
There was a bull that had been half eaten, and the other half was still swaying under the spider silk.
It was getting darker ahead, and this was making everyone nervous.
"Why don't I burn the spider silk around us?" Helen suggested, as she could not stand the dense spider silk around her.
"No, once we set fire to it, the entire forest will be set ablaze into a sea of fire. Not only will we be unable to kill the enemy, but we will also scare it away!" Zena warned Helen.
Helen nodded helplessly and continued to follow behind Lu Yu.
At that moment, Lu Yu suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, Zena started to get anxious.
"Lu Yu, did you discover something?"
Lu Yu nodded slightly. "Look ahead. A row of eyes appeared."
In the darkness, two rows of blood-red eyes were glowing with a faint red light.
Two rows of eyeballs, a total of eight eyes, stared straight at Lu Yu and the others.
"Prepare for battle!"
Lu Yu gripped his demonic sword tightly, ready to attack at any moment.
The next moment, a colossal figure suddenly rushed out of the darkness.
The beast that rushed out was a giant spider about the size of a truck. Its eight legs were moving quickly, and it rushed in front of them in the blink of an eye.
Swoosh!
Thin, long spider silk shot out at them.
Everyone quickly dodged the incoming spider silk.
The shot of spider silk missed and hit a rock.
The rock exploded; the spider silk actually shattered the rock!
Such brutal and piercing spider silk shocked everyone.
"There's a spider tooth at the head of the spider silk; that's why it's so sharp!" Han Xuefei quickly spoke up.
Looking over, Lu Yu and the others saw the sharp tooth.
"This is the Nether Poison Queen. She lives in the Blackwood Forest and is its ruler. No one can defeat her, as she is the overlord of this forest that controls everything."
At that moment, the Nether Poison Queen aimed her head at Lu Yu and shot a bulb of venom at him!
Lu Yu quickly raised his right arm and blocked the attack with his Golden Sacred Shield.
The Golden Sacred Shield easily deflected the shot of venom.
The venom fell to the ground and made a sizzling sound with green smoke.
This venom was corrosive. If he were to come into contact with it, he would either die or get severely injured!
"Helen, use water element to deal with it. The water element can resist the venom's corrosion and weaken the spider silk's stickiness!"
Helen quickly raised her staff to that advice.
The next moment, a series of venomous bulbs shot toward them like a rifle.
A concentrated splash of venom rained down on them.
Seeing this, Helen quickly gripped her staff.
A wall of water appeared out of thin air, transforming into a vast bubble that enveloped them all.
The venom splashed and merged with the veil of water, and it was instantly diluted and decomposed.
"We need to counterattack. Continuing to defend is not going to be good for us!"
Zena spoke up with urgency.
At that moment, the Nether Poison Queen stuck out her giant belly and extended the end of her body.
Spider silks shot out toward the team, covering the sky like a flock of feathers.
The spider silk that filled the sky fell like a heavy snowfall!
If they continued to stay in this rain of spider silk, their movements would be quickly restricted.
Gradually, they would be entangled by the spider silk until they were wrapped and eaten up.
Helen swung her staff and shook off the barrier of water around them.
Han Xuefei raised her staff as soon as the barrier fell, and countless icicles appeared around her.
Helen was surprised to see the huge number of icicles.
She did not expect Han Xuefei, who was following Lu Yu, to be so powerful.
When Han Xuefei made her move, Helen could feel that Han Xuefei was much stronger than her!
Swoosh!
The swarm of icicles shot out.
The Nether Poison Queen raised her two forelimbs, sweeping them forward like two large scimitars.
Swoosh!
With a sweep, it swept away all the icicles that came at it, breaking them into pieces and clearing them cleanly!
Seeing this, Han Xuefei immediately knew that the strength of the beast before her was not simple.
"I'm going to use my Artic Domain. We have to get rid of this spider as soon as possible, or else it'll be dangerous."
Han Xuefei spoke calmly.
Her Arctic Domain would turn her surroundings into a land of cold, changing the environment so that she could better wield her ice element to deal with the enemy.
Although this would consume a large portion of her mana, she had to do it regardless.
Otherwise, their movements would be heavily restricted when the spider silk covered their entire bodies.
Lu Yu picked up his Star Piercing Demonic Sword and said, "There's no need. Leave it to me. This spider's strength is clearly a little strong. If I don't call out my battle pet, I think fighting it will also be difficult for me."
Han Xuefei looked at Lu Yu and replied, "I can support you. We can definitely kill this spider by working together."
Lu Yu nodded at that.
The next moment, Han Xuefei released her Arctic Domain!
Swoosh!
With Han Xuefei at its center, a terrifying icy aura was released in all directions.
Whoom!
In an instant, the surrounding black woods were covered in frost, and all the spider silks were frozen into ice, shattering at the slightest touch.
The surrounding ground was also covered in frost, and the temperature plummeted like winter.
As for the Nether Poison Queen, her speed was clearly much slower than before.
