The situation was serious, and Lan Shengxue could no longer remain uninvolved, turning her attention to Xu Dai and the other two.
"You guys go too."
Xu Dai looked at Li Zhe and the other bodyguard, "You two go ahead, I'll stay here to protect Miss."
"I don't need your protection." The moment Lan Shengxue finished speaking, she had already flashed past Xu Dai and rushed towards the Two Star Beautiful-Faced Spider together with Yang Xiaoqiang and the others.
"Young Miss!" Xu Dai shouted urgently, then quickly chased after her.
Yang Xiaoqiang was the first to rush to Zhou Xiaoyan's side, swinging his broadsword to cut at the spider silk.
To everyone's surprise, the spider silk was incredibly resilient, deflecting the large sword off.
"Wow, amazing spider silk!"
Yang Xiaoqiang did not give up. While the others were holding back the Beautiful-Faced Spider, he continued to swing his knife and slash, trying to free Zhou Xiaoyan as soon as possible.
However, no matter how hard he tried to cut, he couldn't break the rope made of spider silk as thick as a wrist.
The knife in his hand was made of F-grade alloy, yet after so many blows, it only severed about ten spider silk threads.
"I'll do it!" Lan Shengxue ran over, holding an E-grade alloy.
Yang Xiaoqiang stepped aside to make it easier for Lan Shengxue to unleash her attack.
Lan Shengxue, wielding two swords, surged with her inner energy and cleaved down with force, finally severing the spider silk rope cleanly.
Seeing this, Yang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of an E-grade alloy! It's far superior to an F-grade alloy."
After being rescued, Zhou Xiaoyan immediately joined Xu Dai and his group, along with Yang Xiaoqiang and others, and relentlessly attacked the Beautiful-Faced Spider.
Xu Dai was Early-Stage Second-Rank Martial Artist. Among these people, he was the strongest and also the most aggressive.
Even with his full strength, he could only leave a few shallow wounds on the Beautiful-Faced Spider, failing to cause any real damage.
This is the terrifying power of demonic beast physiques. Even if humans are at the same level, their overall combat strength is completely incomparable.
After defending against one wave of attacks, the Beautiful-Faced Spider began to continuously spray spider silk.
While dodging, Zhou Xiaoyan shouted, "Don't get tangled in the spider silk that this beast spits out! It's incredibly tough; even F-grade alloy can't cut through it!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than one of his feet was entangled in spider silk.
"Holy crap! It's me again?"
He was fast and agile, and the last time he was caught off guard, but this time he was well prepared and on guard, yet he still fell for it.
That doesn't make sense! Gangzi is a big, burly man, and his speed and agility are far inferior to his, yet I've never seen spider silk get tangled around him.
Just as Zhou Xiaoyan was racking his brains, he suddenly heard a whooshing sound coming from behind him.
Before he could react to what was happening, a sharp arrow pierced the spider silk wrapped around his foot.
It's Tang Fan!
Zhou Xiaoyan turned to Jiang Fan, "Brother, thanks!"
Jiang Fan nodded without saying anything and continued with his support work.
Everyone present knew very well that without Jiang Fan's support as a sharpshooter, their current situation would be extremely difficult.
Xu Dai looked at Lan Shengxue, "Miss, should we really retreat?"
Lan Shengxue frowned slightly. "Retreat? The Mist Woods is right behind us. With such a commotion, and some of us already injured and bleeding, are you trying to attract those Nine-Mouthed Man-Eating Mosquito and get attacked from both sides?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Dai immediately abandoned the idea.
"It's just Two Star demon beast. With so many of us, what are we afraid of?" Zhou Xiaoyan said confidently.
Li Zhe complained, "I wonder who was mentally attacked just now, calling this beast a beauty?"
Mentioning this, Zhou Xiaoyan blushed and said, "Shut up!"
Mental attacks, a rare skill among demonic beasts, were something they encountered. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been in such a passive position.
"Everyone must be careful of its mental attacks! From what I can tell, its mental attacks can only be used within a specific range, and so far, it has only used them on Xiaoyan once, which means that the number of times it can use its mental attacks is also limited." Yang Xiaoqiang analyzed as he fought.
It must be said that Yang Xiaoqiang truly lives up to his reputation as the boss and captain of Xiaoqiang Studio. His practical experience and on-the-spot analytical skills far surpass those of most people present.
" Xu Dai, finish this quickly." After listening to Yang Xiaoqiang's analysis, Lan Shengxue instructed Xu Dai, then took the lead, carrying her E-grade alloy twin swords, and rushed towards the Beautiful-Faced Spider.
He circled behind it, decisively slashed down, his movements swift and clean, without any hesitation, making everyone exclaim "Beautiful!"
However--
Just as her knife was about to strike the Beautiful-Faced Spider's tail, the Beautiful-Faced Spider suddenly turned its face, opened its mouth, and emitted a strange "whimpering" sound from its dark, gaping mouth.
Lan Shengxue's face showed a dazed expression, and her body, which had leaped up, was falling downwards due to the lack of follow-through.
"Young Miss!" Xu Dai, Li Zhe, and the others shouted at the same time, rushing towards Lan Shengxue with all their might.
They moved quickly, Beautiful-Faced Spider moved even faster.
The sharp, long leg stabbed towards Lan Shengxue's forehead.
At this critical moment, a sharp arrow pierced through the spider leg that was stabbing towards Lan Shengxue with the speed of a meteor.
A shrill scream erupted from the Beautiful-Faced Spider's mouth. After recovering, it suddenly turned its head to look at Jiang Fan, who was holding a bow and arrow. Its face became ferocious and terrifying, and its large almond-shaped eyes were filled with bloodshot veins and intense hatred for Jiang Fan.
The Beautiful-Faced Spider, now Two Star demon beast, is far more intelligent than before, and at this moment, it is filled with hatred for Jiang Fan.
This human injured it again and again, shooting through its eyes and then through its legs.
Anger made its eyes even more bloodshot, so red that they seemed ready to bleed at any moment.
"Rumble, rumble, rumble--" It frantically crawled towards Jiang Fan, its speed and momentum startling Zhou Xiaoyan and Miao Xi, who were blocking its path, who quickly moved aside.
You have no choice but to dodge. Judging from the way that Beautiful-Faced Spider is charging around, if you don't dodge, you might get thrown out.
Seeing the Beautiful-Faced Spider rushing towards Jiang Fan, Yang Xiaoqiang immediately shouted.
" Tang Fan, run!"
Jiang Fan wasn't stupid; he had known all along that this beast's target was him.
He thought that if he could use his Psychic Power without restraint right now, with his E-grade alloy arrows, he should be able to kill this Two Star Beautiful-Faced Spider by himself, after all, he was now Intermediate Psychic.
Just as Jiang Fan was thinking this, Yang Xiaoqiang suddenly shouted anxiously from behind him again.
" Tang Fan, run! Run! That beast is about to use a mental attack on you!"
