Chapter 713 Giant Spider
On this vast ice field, the cold wind is like a knife, cutting every inch of exposed skin. The breath you exhale instantly condenses into frost, hangs on your lips, and drifts away with the wind. In the white night, this commander, wearing thick black armor and a stern face, stood at the front of the team, his eyes like torches, piercing the biting cold, looking directly at the towering huge iceberg in front of him. The iceberg seems to be the most ruthless sculpture of nature. It stands between heaven and earth, exuding a heart-stopping cold air. Its surface is covered with ice and snow that has not melted for thousands of years, shining with a faint blue light, like a dead palace, waiting for you. Unknown visitor.
"Soldiers," Bai Ye's voice was low and powerful, penetrating the howling wind and reaching everyone's ears, "What we are about to face is not only a test of nature, but also the limit of will and survival. This city The iceberg is the end of our journey and a new beginning. Remember, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, we cannot retreat.”
Hearing this, the soldiers straightened their backs one after another. Although their eyes were mixed with fatigue and fear, they were more determined and unyielding. They know that following Bai Ye means facing all unknowns and dangers, but it also means having the opportunity to find hope of survival in this desolate land.
"Sir Baiye, we are ready." A soldier responded loudly. Although his voice was trembling due to the cold, it was full of strength.
Bai Ye nodded slightly and didn't say much. He just raised his right hand and made a forward gesture. The team then moved slowly, each step stepping on the solid ice, making a dull sound, which was in stark contrast to the silence around them.
As we go deeper, the wind on the ice sheet becomes more and more fierce, as if it wants to devour all living creatures. The soldiers' breathing became rapid and their cheeks were red from the cold, but they still gritted their teeth and held onto the weapons and equipment in their hands, not letting the slightest waver show.
"Everyone, please pay attention to your steps. There may be cracks hidden in the ice." Bai Ye's voice sounded again, his eyes constantly scanning the front, trying to detect any possible dangers.
Suddenly, the ice under a soldier's feet made a crisp sound, and then his body began to sink. The soldiers around him reacted immediately, stepped forward quickly, and worked together to pull him out of the ice cave that was about to collapse. The soldier's face was pale, but his eyes were shining with gratitude. He gasped and said, "Thank you... everyone."
This scene made the atmosphere in the team more solemn, but also more united. They know that on this ice sheet, they can only survive by relying on each other.
As time goes by, the iceberg gradually enlarges in everyone's sight, and its huge body seems to cover the sky and the sun, making people feel awe. Bai Ye stopped and stared at the iceberg, feeling an inexplicable emotion well up in his heart. He knew that once they set foot on that iceberg, they would face more severe challenges, but they might also find what they had been looking for - whether it was resources, shelter, or secrets about this ice sheet.
"Soldiers, we are about to enter the unknown. Remember, no matter what we encounter, we must stay calm and support each other. Our destiny is in our own hands." Bai Ye's voice was firm and powerful, as if giving everyone a slap in the face. Injection cardiotonic.
The soldiers responded in unison, their voices echoing on the ice field, carrying unyielding and determination. They embarked on the journey again, heading towards the huge iceberg, every step full of determination and courage.
At the foot of the iceberg is a rugged area of ice and rock, with ice spikes like swords pointing straight into the sky. The soldiers walked carefully through it, avoiding possible harm. Bai Ye is always at the forefront, using his experience and wisdom to guide the team.
"Pay attention to those icicles, they may collapse suddenly." Bai Ye reminded, while gently tapping the ice in front with the tip of his sword to test its stability.
The team moved forward slowly, and every step on the ice seemed extremely difficult. But the soldiers did not give up. They knew that only by persisting could they see hope.
Finally, after experiencing countless challenges and tests, they arrived at the entrance of the iceberg. It was a narrow ice cave, and the entrance was covered with thick ice and snow, making it almost imperceptible. But Bai Ye knew that that was the destination of their trip.
"Soldiers, prepare to enter." Bai Ye's voice echoed in the ice cave, with a trace of unnoticeable tension.
The soldiers quickly organized their equipment and prepared for the coming unknown. They entered the ice cave one by one, taking every step carefully for fear of disturbing the unknown creatures in the cave.
Bai Ye walked last, his eyes scanning the cave, trying to find any possible clues or dangers. As we go deeper, the temperature inside the ice cave gradually drops, making breathing extremely difficult. But the soldiers did not retreat. They knew that only by moving forward bravely can they find hope of survival.
At this moment, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave, making the entire ice cave tremble. The expressions of the soldiers changed suddenly, and they all clenched their weapons, preparing to deal with the coming danger.
Bai Ye reacted quickly. He raised his sword and shouted loudly: "Stay alert! Prepare to fight!"
However, just as they were preparing for the battle, the roar suddenly stopped. Immediately afterwards, a strong cold air surged from the depths of the cave, making everyone shiver involuntarily.
Bai Ye frowned, and he realized that this cold air was not naturally formed, but the breath of some unknown creature. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, trying to calm his inner turmoil.
"Soldiers, stay calm. We don't know what's waiting for us ahead, but we must face it bravely." Bai Ye's voice echoed in the ice cave, with a hint of unquestionable firmness.
The soldiers nodded in agreement after hearing this. They knew that no matter what kind of danger was ahead, they had to fight side by side with Bai Ye and face it together.
So they continued to move forward, and every step was full of unknowns and dangers. But their hearts were full of courage and determination, because they knew that only by persisting could they find hope for survival.
On this ice field, Bai Ye and his soldiers were writing their own legends. And the huge iceberg became the turning point of their destiny, waiting for them to explore and conquer.
As the footsteps went deeper, the light in the ice cave became dimmer and dimmer, and only the occasional blue light reflected from the ice wall added a bit of weirdness to this deep passage. There was an indescribable chill in the air, as if even breathing could freeze into ice. Bai Ye and the soldiers pressed close to the ice wall, moving forward cautiously, and every step was full of vigilance.
Suddenly, there was a low and rhythmic vibration in front, as if some huge monster was moving slowly. The soldiers' nerves were instantly tense, and they all tightened their weapons, ready to deal with the upcoming unknown challenge. Bai Ye even held the long sword tightly in front of his chest, his eyes like torches, scanning the surroundings, trying to find the source of the vibration.
At this moment, a sharp friction sound broke the silence in the cave, and then a huge shadow suddenly fell from the top of the cave and rushed towards everyone. The soldiers screamed and dodged, but the speed of the shadow was far beyond their imagination. I saw a huge ice spider, several people tall, covered with crystal clear ice armor, and eight long legs covered with sharp ice spikes waving in the air, like the sickle of the god of death, pointing directly at Bai Ye and the soldiers.
"It's an ice spider!" Bai Ye shouted in a low voice and responded quickly. He flashed and avoided the first wave of attacks from the spider. At the same time, the long sword was swung out, and a cold light cut through the air and went straight to the spider's head. However, the ice spider reacted just as quickly. It quickly adjusted its posture, blocked Bai Ye's attack with one of its long legs, and counterattacked. The ice spikes flashed with cold light and rushed straight to Bai Ye.
Seeing this, the soldiers joined the battle one after another. They swung their swords or threw javelins, trying to force the huge ice spider back. But the ice spider's defense is amazing, and its ice armor is so hard that ordinary attacks can't penetrate it at all. Moreover, its attack speed is extremely fast. Every time it swings its long legs, it can bring a gust of cold wind, making it difficult for the soldiers to get close.
The battle fell into a stalemate. Bai Ye and the soldiers kept changing their tactics, trying to find the weakness of the ice spider. However, this ice spider seemed to have endless physical strength and endurance. No matter how many attacks it received, it could quickly recover and continue to launch a fierce offensive.
"Everyone be careful, this spider has extremely strong endurance, we can't fight it head-on!" Bai Ye reminded the soldiers loudly while dodging the spider's attack. He knew that going on like this would only consume everyone's physical strength and will, and eventually fall into the spider's trap.
So, Bai Ye began to look for opportunities to try to lure the ice spider to reveal its flaws. He deliberately slowed down the rhythm of his attack to lure the spider closer, then suddenly accelerated, using his body skills to dodge the spider's attack, and took the opportunity to leave a few shallow sword marks on its body. Although these sword marks were insignificant to the ice spider, they allowed Bai Ye to discover one of its weaknesses - the ice armor on its abdomen was relatively thin and had no ice spikes to protect it.
"Attack its abdomen!" Bai Ye shouted loudly, and at the same time, his figure flashed and he launched a fierce attack on the ice spider again. Upon hearing this, the soldiers adjusted their attack directions and concentrated their firepower to attack the spider's abdomen. For a time, sword lights woven like weaving, javelins rained like rain, and fell on the abdomen of the ice spider.
The ice spider was obviously aware of its weakness. It let out bursts of harsh roars and waved its long legs frantically, trying to repel the approaching soldiers. But at this time, Bai Ye and the soldiers had already given up. They charged forward desperately, vowing to defeat the huge ice spider.
Finally, after countless attacks, a hole was finally broken in the abdomen of the ice spider. Streams of cold liquid gushed out of the wound and instantly condensed into ice in the ice cave. The ice spider wailed and its body began to tremble violently. Seeing this, Bai Ye seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and swung his long sword, piercing the spider's heart.
With a deafening roar, the huge body of the ice spider fell to the ground, splashing a piece of ice and snow. Bai Ye and the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed to the ground, and gasped. They knew that they had just experienced a life-and-death battle, and the victory of this battle was exchanged for their courage and wisdom.
"Lord Bai Ye...we...won..." A soldier said panting, his face filled with the joy and exhaustion of victory.
Bai Ye nodded, looking deeply at the fallen ice spider. He knew that this was just one of the many challenges they encountered on this ice field. But no matter how many difficulties and dangers awaited them in the future, they would move forward bravely, because they were warriors, warriors fighting for survival and hope.
"Yes... we won..." Bai Ye whispered, his voice full of firmness and determination. He stood up and looked at the unknown darkness deep in the ice cave. He knew that there were more secrets and challenges waiting for them to explore and conquer. But no matter how difficult and dangerous the road ahead was, he would lead the soldiers to continue moving forward until they found their place of survival and the light of hope.
Next to the huge body of the ice spider, Bai Ye and the soldiers took a short break and gathered again, their eyes falling on the ground under the spider's body. There, there was an imperceptible depression hidden. As the ice spider fell, some crystal clear spheres slowly appeared - those were the spider's eggs.
"Look, these are spider eggs." Bai Ye squatted down and gently pushed away the thin ice covering the eggs with a long sword, his tone revealing a bit of solemnity. He knew that if these eggs were hatched, they would bring more equally ferocious ice spiders, posing a greater threat to the team.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers gathered around, their eyes full of curiosity and vigilance. They had never seen such a strange sight, but they knew more clearly the danger these eggs represented.
"We must destroy them," a soldier suggested, his voice full of unquestionable determination.
Bai Ye nodded in agreement, then looked around for something that could start a fire. In this cold cave, fire is undoubtedly one of the scarcest resources, but burning these spider eggs is undoubtedly the most direct and effective way.
After searching for a while, Bai Ye finally found some dry moss and branches in a corner of the cave. He quickly collected these flammable materials and piled them around the spider eggs. At the same time, he ordered the soldiers to stay alert to prevent sudden attacks from the same kind of ice spider or other unknown creatures.
"Are you ready?" Bai Ye asked the soldiers, taking out a flint from his waist and preparing to light the fire.
The soldiers nodded, holding their weapons tightly, and were ready to fight. They knew that the next move was crucial. Once the fire got out of control, the entire cave might collapse and bury them under the ice field.
Bai Ye took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and then struck the iron sheet violently with a flint, sparks flew everywhere, and the dry moss was instantly ignited. The flames spread quickly, devouring the surrounding branches and ice chips, making crackling sounds.
