Chapter 85

The arrival of a new week also means that the category recommendations have been taken down. From now on, it can only rely on the bare essentials. Wailing, friends, at this moment, if you don't help me, who will? Therefore, I have to ask for recommendations, collections, clicks, rewards, and reviews. Please support~~~

Beside the pile of corpses, the stones that were previously ignored by Wuyan and others, and considered ordinary, began to tremble at this moment.

At this moment, Wuyan and others also noticed that the strange 'cracking' sound was coming from the stones!

More and more stones began to tremble. The seemingly ordinary stones, after a series of 'cracking' sounds, actually cracked on the surface!

Wuyan retreated a few steps with the women, tightly staring at the stones on the ground. The Zhidezhena in his hand had already been pulled out a little.

At a certain moment, the 'cracking' sound from the stones suddenly stopped, and the stones behind them also gradually calmed down, but Wuyan and others did not think that nothing had happened.

The sound from the stones indeed stopped, but the stones were still trembling...

Mikoto, standing behind Wuyan, had a bad premonition. But as this premonition appeared, Mikoto became calm instead. She immediately spoke up.

"Something is coming!"

As her voice fell, a muffled sound suddenly rang out, and Wuyan and others saw...

A spider!

A spider made entirely of stone, taller than a child!

The trembling stones on the ground exploded with a muffled sound, and a stone spider wobbled and timidly crawled out from the exploded stones!

When it raised its grotesque face, Chrysanthemum and Mikoto swallowed their saliva in unison. If they hadn't seen monsters in the demon cave that were ten times messier, they would have screamed.

Continuous muffled sounds began to ring out, like someone setting off firecrackers, 'popping' non-stop. With each muffled sound, a stone would explode, and a similar spider would crawl out from the stone.

Small Stone Spider: (Level 30)

Stone Spider: (Level 35)

Large Stone Spider: (Level 40)

An army of stone spiders was chaotically arranged on the ground!

Some were relatively small but still several times larger than ordinary spiders, these were the small stone spiders that came out of the small stones. Some were several times larger than the small stone spiders, these were the stone spiders that crawled out of the larger stones. A few were even larger than children, these were the large stone spiders that came out of the largest stones!

"These are the factors that caused those people's deaths..." Seeing the appearance of the stone spiders, Chrysanthemum and Mikoto were no longer afraid. That was natural; the unknown is what's truly terrifying. When the unknown factor appears, the fear in one's heart actually decreases.

And Chrysanthemum and Mikoto, who had seen the army of demons, naturally wouldn't be scared by mere spiders. Although girls are often afraid of insects, Mikoto and Chrysanthemum were among them, but when truly faced with them, they just felt a bit disgusted.

Without waiting for Wuyan to respond, Ikaros, standing behind Wuyan, stepped forward first.

Deep red pupils appeared in Ikaros's eyes at some point. Ikaros looked at all the stone spiders and spoke softly.

"Unknown life form detected, hostility confirmed, strength level D, danger level C, determined to be capable of harming the master, initiating elimination!"

"Variable wing restriction解除!"

"Queen of the Sky mode! On!"

The powerful Queen of the Sky, Ikaros, appeared before Wuyan and others again. Blue light wings unfolded, Ikaros faced the stone spiders, her back to Wuyan and others, her voice calm and collected.

"Master, Ikaros is about to attack. Please retreat to a safe area, Master!"

Hearing Ikaros's words, Wuyan was taken aback, then he smiled, a mysterious smile.

Wuyan did not retreat as Ikaros suggested but stood beside Ikaros. In Ikaros's slightly puzzled gaze, he touched Ikaros's fluffy hair in the Queen of the Sky mode.

"Ikaros, I am not just your master..."

Ignoring the stunned Ikaros, Wuyan walked in front of Ikaros, slightly raising the Zhidezhena, and said with a light laugh, "I am not a weak, ordinary person. I can also fight. Ikaros, I hope you remember, I am not just your master, but also your comrade in life and death!"

"Since we are comrades in life and death, how can I be left out of the battle? How can I let a girl like you charge into battle alone?"

Ikaros's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at her master's back, her head slightly lowered.

"Understanding, impossible..."

"Understanding is not important. Ikaros, just remember what I said today. One day, you will understand!"

Wuyan repeated his words in his mind twice, and Ikaros softly said, "Yes, Master..."

"Don't forget about us!" Chrysanthemum and Mikoto, who had been relegated to the background, couldn't help but shout loudly, asserting their presence. Mikoto took a step forward to Wuyan's side, her expression slightly displeased.

"You say we should fight together as comrades in life and death, but you still forgot about us!"

Wuyan's face turned awkward, and he said evasively, "Well, well, don't mind the details..."

"So our existence is just a detail!" As she said this, electric sparks began to appear around Mikoto.

"Stop fooling around, they seem to be coming over!" Seeing Wuyan and Mikoto playing around, Chrysanthemum gave them a glare and quickly reminded them.

While they were talking, the stone spiders had already started approaching Wuyan and others with their thin, long legs. However, they seemed to sense that Wuyan and others were not as easy to bully as the previous group they had killed, so their approach was very slow.

"Chrysanthemum, don't stay too far away, take care of the little girl! And Mikoto, don't charge forward, stay with Chrysanthemum and the others to support them!"

Chrysanthemum and Mikoto nodded silently, indicating that they understood.

Seeing that Wuyan and others were not making any moves, the not very intelligent stone spiders became a bit impatient.

Thus, the stone spiders opened their mouths and spat out stone spikes at Wuyan and others' position!

"Aegis (Absolute Defense Circle)!!!"

Ikaros instantly appeared in front of Wuyan and others. Facing the overwhelming stone spikes, Ikaros lightly opened her lips, and as her voice fell, a blue, round, transparent shield formed in front of her.

The stone spikes all hit Ikaros's Absolute Defense Circle but failed to cause even a ripple, let alone break it. After a series of crisp sounds, all the stone spikes were blocked by the Absolute Defense Circle.

From this alone, Wuyan could see that, as C-grade equipment, Ikaros's Absolute Defense Circle was even more defensive than his Nianlong Armor!

However, the true advantage of the Nianlong Armor was its completely autonomous defense, not requiring Wuyan to control it. Even if Wuyan himself didn't react in time, the Nianlong Armor would automatically activate, unlike the Absolute Defense Circle, which required Ikaros to use it. Each had its own advantages.

"Artemis (Permanent Tracking Missile)!!!"

The shield was instantly retracted by Ikaros, and almost simultaneously, the tracking missiles were launched, shattering the front line of the stone spiders' charge.
