Desert Bone-Eating Spiders
At the very back of the Mailong Mercenary Group, Mo Fan, who had gone ahead to scout, returned and recounted how the group had stopped.
After learning about these things, Ling Ling, who had done the investigation, told him how to deal with it. Then Mo Fan went back and told the deputy commander Kuma.
After Mo Fan repeated Ling Ling's words, she believed him. Moreover, she could see that the young men and women in this group were clearly not there to gain experience, but rather had a genuine understanding of the place. She immediately expressed her goodwill.
Then the members of the Mailong Mercenary Group began to advance. Humans are creatures that love to follow the crowd, and as the Mailong Mercenary Group made such a strong entrance, the hesitant mage groups followed behind.
The Great Rift Valley isn't just one long, winding path. Once inside, countless branches appear, and it's impossible to say which one leads to a higher altitude. After all, the Great Rift Valley is incredibly long. Being in one of the valley paths, it's impossible to judge whether the terrain is flat or rising. Moreover, rising valley paths aren't necessarily unobstructed; you might walk for several kilometers only to find yourself at a dead end.
The Great Rift Valley can be described as a labyrinth, with winding paths, branching routes, interconnected paths, and circuitous routes; sometimes you wouldn't even realize you were back on the same path...
Seeing the group stop again, Tang Miao shrugged and said, "It seems they don't know much about this place."
"Perhaps we didn't do as much homework as you guys," Ai Jiangtu said, sounding somewhat helpless.
Actually, Ling Ling did all the homework.
Of course, as for the expenses, they'll come from my own pocket...
Although Tang Miao knew the truth, he couldn't bring himself to blame the Xiao Ke Ling Ling. However, the thought of spending one or two hundred million yuan made his heart ache... He regretted going off to fool around with Asha Ruiya that day and leaving this matter to Ling Ling, and he regretted coming here and getting intimate with Apas, forgetting to stop Ling Ling...
Unfortunately, there's no going back in life...
Just as the two were chatting, the deputy commander Kuma, approached. After showing Tang Miao his respects, he asked, "Your Excellency, do you know how to proceed next?"
Tang Miao was clearly unaware of this at all, and then looked towards the two little girls. "Ling Ling, tell her how to get there."
"Follow the direction Mudstone Flow will come from," Ling Ling replied.
Upon seeing that it was such a young girl speaking, Kuma instinctively thought she was joking. But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized something, and a knowing smile appeared on his face, "That's right, the Mudstone Flow melted from the frost at higher levels; they must have arrived here along a clear path. How clever!"
At this moment, Ling Ling said in a low voice, "I advise you not to camp here. Rather than saying the cave is full of excrement, it's more accurate to say it's full of digested bones."
Kuma was stunned again...
"My men have already searched the area and found no signs of Demon Beast activity. The spiders that left behind their droppings have already left."
She was naturally aware of this, and even sent someone to investigate the surrounding area. It was only because Tang Miao's previous intimidation was so powerful that she would have definitely taught this little girl a lesson.
"That means your people aren't very good. Have you checked the higher-ups?" Ling Ling asked casually, as if she were looking at an idiot.
Kuma was stunned again...
Reminded by Ling Ling, Kuma immediately walked to a cliff face that rose high into the ravine and pressed his palm against the rock.
Within minutes, Kuma's expression changed drastically!
"Prepare for battle!!"
However, before she could say anything, a loud shout came from ahead.
Tomi, the captain of the third division who had been in charge of inquiring about the situation, was puzzled upon hearing this and asked doubtfully, "Fight back? There aren't Demon Beast nearby?"
One of his henchmen chimed in, "I specifically checked it again beforehand..."
"How did you check? Didn't you know to look up there?!" Kuma, who had returned to the front of the group, glared angrily at Tomi.
Only then did the mercenaries carefully examine the upper part of the stone wall.
"Here I am, up there, my God, it's Desert Bone-Eating Spider!" a mercenary shouted.
"They're here too!!"
"They're here too!"
"..."
In an instant, various voices of panic rang out...
Each of them possesses enormous venom glands, and their pointed heads resemble the ferocious and ruthless appearance of an evil woman. Their slender and soft claws can adhere completely to vertical stone walls, and they can move at high speeds without making a sound!
Mages' alertness mostly relies on the sound of footsteps, but these Desert Bone-Eating Spider move without making a sound. This is why this renowned mercenary group hasn't detected them for so long...
"What's the panic? Kill as many as you can! These bastards think we're here to deliver food to them. We'll show them what the Mailong Mercenary Group is all about!" Vice-Captain Kuma's voice boomed.
At her command, the troops that had just been setting up camp instantly began to form a large battle formation.
They were all mercenaries, so their reactions were quick enough, but Tang Miao and his group were in an awkward situation, completely unaware of what had happened...
Without realizing it, I was isolated from the outside world.
Actually, they weren't exactly isolated; it's just that they didn't react in time when the enemy started forming ranks...
"What should we do?" Zhao Manyan asked.
Just as Ai Jiangtu was about to speak, Tang Miao spoke first, "Take care of yourselves, leave the rest to me!"
His shins hadn't been used in a long time, and they felt a bit rusty. With so many Remnant Soul and Spirit Essence being delivered to him now, how could he possibly refuse to accept them?
Mo Fan also came to the other side. He never liked to stand on the sidelines and watch the drama unfold when it came to killing demons and obtaining their Spirit Essence.
Seeing the two step forward on either side, Nan Jue covered his head and said helplessly, "Why do these two still love fighting so much..."
Jiang Yu smiled and said, "This makes things easier for us, and it's not a bad thing at all. Sure enough, teaming up with Tang Miao and Mo Fan in the wild really means we don't have to worry about being surrounded by Demon Beast..."
"Have you noticed? These Desert Bone-Eating Spider have absolutely no intention of coming down to attack. They're right here... My God, those two beasts!!"
