669. Ambush?

Just as Jiang Yu was about to speak, outside the range of the magic attack, he saw Tang Miao and Mo Fan unleash a Fire Wave, instantly killing nearly a hundred Desert Bone-Eating Spider. While Mo Fan's wave of Fire Wave didn't kill as many as Tang Miao's, the moment the lightning struck, it also instantly killed forty or fifty...

The Desert Bone-Eating Spider also began to retreat...

Originally, the humans here were unprotected, and given the sparse population, they were easy prey to hunt. But who could have imagined that these mages, who weren't within the formation, would be so ferocious...?

As for the mercenary group, although they were well-coordinated, their magical attacks were simply too limited to inflict any effective damage on the Desert Bone-Eating Spider.

Upon witnessing this, one of the team members suggested, "Let's evacuate."

After all, continuing like this will not benefit them at all.

Kuma also sensed something was off about these Desert Bone-Eating Spider, so he had his team move towards a wider path.

As soon as they moved, the Desert Bone-Eating Spider would move, making very faint crawling sounds. As the entire mercenary group moved, they would also move to a new position.

"Let's move towards the wider canyon. Once we get there, these things will only be able to climb onto the stone walls on either side of us. If they dare to follow us again, we'll wipe them all out," suggested Gavin, the group's secretary.

After seeing the mercenary group begin to move forward, the National Team also followed suit.

The mercenary group continued forward, and about five or six hundred meters away was the wide canyon, a relatively direct and large crack about three hundred meters wide. Above them was the sky, and on both sides were rocky cliffs, making it impossible for the Desert Bone-Eating Spider to hide in those jagged and strange rock crevices.

After traveling about another hundred meters, the members of the Mailong Mercenary Group began to feel alarmed.

The Desert Bone-Eating Spider behind them were no longer following, but the rocks on both sides and above them were completely covered with these Desert Bone-Eating Spider, which made the originally pure brown rock walls look terrifying and ferocious, and there were also pairs of eyes that twinkled like stars, making people shudder.

The scene before them looked almost like a carefully laid trap, making everyone feel uneasy for a moment.

Ah~!

"Uh~!!"

"..."

Just then, several people suddenly cried out in agony.

Only after the sound rang out did everyone realize that three team members were inexplicably missing!

Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to retreat again. At this moment, Tang Miao seemed to have thought of something, and in a flash, he left the spot.

The next moment, Tang Miao appeared beside the deputy commander Kuma.

"Leave here immediately and find a long, steep slope. The reason these Desert Bone-Eating Spider haven't attacked is because they're waiting for Mudstone Flow to arrive, waiting for us to be buried alive!!" Tang Miao said as soon as he arrived.

Kuma, the squad leader, and several mercenary captains were all taken aback when they heard Tang Miao's voice!

Everyone who turned around looked surprised!

Everyone here possessed considerable cultivation, yet Tang Miao managed to appear behind them silently and suddenly.

This level of cultivation is terrifying, it's quite outrageous!

However, the talk of cultivation level was clearly just an appetizer; what shocked Kuma even more was what Tang Miao said next! Hong Mudstone Flow???

"Your Excellency... are you sure?" Kuma asked.

"If you don't believe me, then you can continue to wait here," Tang Miao said, glancing at Kuma.

Kuma knew that powerful people were often arrogant. He immediately apologized and continued, "But we're having trouble even moving forward..."

"We're all in this together. I can clear a path for you. I think everyone here should be prepared to face death. Whether you die here together or charge out, the choice is yours." Tang Miao finished speaking and his figure disappeared.

Kuma wasn't given any chance to think at all...

Of course, this move once again gave them quite a shock.

They didn't even sense Tang Miao using magic, but he just vanished like that, leaving no trace of his presence!

After Tang Miao returned, he looked at the group behind him and said, "I'll lead the way; you all be careful of your surroundings."

"Be careful, these Desert Bone-Eating Spider might be only a few meters away from you, or even closer, before you can even cast a spell," Nan Jue warned.

Just then, a scorching hot flame suddenly emanated from Tang Miao's body!

After the sudden burst of flames, Nan Jue felt that her reminder had been somewhat unnecessary...

"I'll stay behind him and take care of any targets in his blind spots." Mu Ningxue quickly followed, one step ahead of the others.

As they set off, the entire Mailong Mercenary Group followed suit, maintaining a relatively fast pace.

At the same time, just as they were about to escape, the Desert Bone-Eating Spider that had been hiding on the rocks made their move.

This time, they were no longer testing the waters; they clearly knew the group was trying to escape. So, like a black rain, the spiders fell from the cliffs, rock walls, and crevices above, frantically attacking the mercenary group members who were fleeing the area.

"Sky Flame Funeral!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~!!!"

"Puff puff puff~~!!"

As the fiery rain descended from the sky, the Desert Bone-Eating Spider perched on the cliff face were instantly reduced to ashes upon contact with the flames. More importantly, their deaths weren't limited to themselves; their companions were also almost entirely melted down by the sudden arrival of the fire, leaving not even ashes.

As for the camouflaged Desert Bone-Eating Spider lurking along the way, they posed no obstacle whatsoever to Tang Miao. The moment one of them revealed itself, it was immediately met with a wave of flames...

With a single high-level fire rain, all the Desert Bone-Eating Spider within sight were instantly wiped out!

Even though the Desert Bone-Eating Spider was dead, the flames still burned, preventing the other Desert Bone-Eating Spider that wanted to chase after it from getting close!

Kuma stared blankly at the flames burning on both sides, slowing his pace slightly, and then muttered, "This... is this really high-level Fire Magic??"

"Vice... Vice Commander... where did you find these monsters?" the commander asked, somewhat shocked.

"We were probably just lucky..." Kuma said.

To be honest, if it weren't for Tang Miao and her ferocious trailblazers, who knows how many more people they would have lost along the way...
