The Middle-Aged Man's Vicious Taunts
"It's a behemoth unit!" Lin Xu gasped, immediately sensing the urgency of the situation.
Even the lowest-tier behemoth template provides a 10x bonus to health and mana, and its massive size poses a significant threat to ordinary targets.
Just then, seemingly sensing Lin Xu's gaze, the Giant Weird Spider's back raised his head, revealing a ferocious grin in his direction. "Screw you, pretty boy! What are you looking at? You think you can just run away after you've had your fun? I'm catching up, and I'm going to kill you today, you idiot!"
Lin Xu frowned. He could sense that just as the Giant Weird Spider opened its mouth to speak, a strange spiritual force crossed space and came through an inexplicable connection.
With a thought, the spirit lamp in his hand shone brightly, its Glazed Fire sweeping away the dark mental fluctuations that had surfaced in his sea of consciousness.
The inexplicable irritation that had risen in my heart was instantly dispelled, but then I sensed an uneasy commotion coming from the Evil Eye in the sky.
"Keep your mind focused and ignite your consciousness with your spiritual power!"
Lin Xu spoke up to remind them, and the Evil Eye immediately came to their senses. The Lamp Kindling Magic Power circulated, igniting and burning the dim spiritual energy.
Within a few breaths, the previously agitated emotions calmed down again.
The Evil Eye retaliated swiftly, unleashing a series of Mind Shock Blast like bombs.
"Boom~"
The tangible Mind Blast exploded on the Giant Weird Spider, but it emerged unscathed as if nothing had happened.
"Immune to mind magic!" Lin Xu's heart sank. This strange resistance to mind magic was astonishing; the attacks from the Evil Eye were completely ineffective!
With a thought, he dispersed the Evil Eye horde to guard the surrounding area, lest the fierce battle attract other dangers.
At this moment, the soldiers who had received the warning had already lined up and quickly ran towards the entrance of the earthen fort.
At this time, there were still a large number of NPC villagers inside the earthen fortress. These people were almost powerless against the strange mental attacks, so Lin Xu planned to set up the battlefield outside the fortress.
The fastest of them all were the Red-Robed Ghosts. Yan Jingshu led the group of ghosts through the thick walls of the earthen fortress, rushing towards the Giant Weird Spider that was attacking them like a gust of wind.
The Giant Weird Spider's enormous head turned towards the approaching Ghost Bride, and the middle-aged man's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Did you bleach your face three times?! In broad daylight, you look like frozen meat in a morgue, with a nauseatingly pale color!"
The Ghost Bride, who was trying to escape, suddenly shifted her figure and increased her speed by a factor of three!
Lin Xu frowned slightly. "Jingshu, concentrate! Don't let your emotions get in the way!"
The Ghost Bride remained silent, and the group of Red-Robed Ghost suddenly scattered, with red threads descending from the sky and coiling towards the Giant Weird Spider.
"Look at your mouth, it's smeared with blood-red paint like you just finished gnawing on a dead rat, and you can fit two walnuts in that gap when you grin. Your smile is more creepy than crying! I've never felt this much pain when a steel bar pierced my foot on a construction site, but just looking at you makes me want to gouge my eyes out and stomp on them!"
The Giant Weird Spider showed no mercy, and without hesitation, it launched a vicious taunt at the approaching Red-Robed Ghosts.
"Die!" The Ghost Bride roared in fury. Her indifferent expression vanished instantly. She flashed forward and thrust the blood-red hairpin in her hand fiercely towards the middle-aged man's head, aiming straight for his vicious mouth!
"Whoosh~"
A spider leg sliced through the air, lashing out fiercely at the approaching Ghost Bride.
Yan Jingshu swayed, dodging the attacking spider legs, and continued to stab at the Giant Weird Spider.
Ah~
The blood-stained hairpin pierced her lips, and dark red blood quietly spread from the tiny wound, extending the curse to a wider area.
The excruciating pain made the middle-aged man with the Giant Weird Spider grimace, "What are you pretending to be a ghost for? You can only scare those softies who've never seen blood. When I was carrying bricks on the construction site, you were still in your mother's womb! Get lost, don't get in my way. Just looking at your face makes me want to throw up my dinner from last night!"
Yan Jingshu immediately panicked. "You, you----"
The red light trembled, its defenses breached by the damned venomous mouth. It dodged the attacking spider legs, its body suddenly transforming into a red lightning bolt, spinning rapidly around the Giant Weird Spider's head.
The blood-stained hairpins spared no other spots, but instead pierced the middle-aged man's lips one by one. The dark red curse spread, and his lips immediately began to fester.
Lin Xu frowned as he looked at the battlefield. The first group of Red-Robed Ghosts used their numerical advantage to weave a net that trapped the Giant Weird Spider.
The eerie power was corroded and corrupted by the blood, and red spots appeared on the Giant Weird Spider's body, which were traces of the Ghost Bride's magic.
But this damage was negligible to the Giant Weird Spider, and the demons posed almost no threat to it.
Instead, Yan Jingshu's attack pierced the Giant Weird Spider's mouth, finally shutting up the middle-aged man's incessant chatter. His lips were swollen and looked like a giant blood sausage.
Looking down, I saw that the soldiers had just come out of the earthen fortress and still had several miles to travel to get to the battlefield.
"Jingshu, calm down!" Lin Xu reminded her telepathically, but at this moment the Ghost Bride had already been provoked by the monster and was relentlessly poking at the middle-aged man's rotten mouth.
The Giant Weird Spider's enormous legs swung wildly, trying to force the Ghost Bride away, but the red light was extremely fast, skillfully dodging the spider legs' sweeping attacks while continuing to strike.
The eerie giant spider, howling in pain, spun and ran erratically across the farmland, firmly restrained by the Ghost Bride, and did not continue its attack on the earthen fortress in the center of the village.
But the crisis was not over. A Wedding Procession Ghost flying in the sky slowly landed and, under the corrosive influence of a strange evil force, quietly twisted and transformed into a Weird Spider formed from a twisted human body!
Wow~
Accompanied by a shrill scream, the Weird Spider, Giant Weird Spider its control, rapidly climbed up its massive legs and lunged at the middle-aged man's festering lips.
Blood and flesh dripped down like melted wax, and the originally dark red lips healed slightly and quickly.
Meanwhile, the Red-Robed Ghosts floating in the sky were teetering on the edge, and one by one they drifted toward the ground.
"This thing can even distort life forms!" Lin Xu's heart tightened, and he quickly used his Dharma Seed to awaken the Ghost Bride, "Jingshu, calm your mind!"
The shout startled Yan Jingshu awake. The red light faded, and the figure of the Ghost Bride appeared in mid-air. She Spirit Calming and looked inward, only to realize that a large amount of dark spiritual energy was floating in her sea of consciousness, and it was rapidly infecting and spreading among the Wedding Procession Ghosts.
"Phew~"
A crimson-gold flame ignited, burning and purifying a large amount of spiritual energy within his consciousness, quickly calming his anger.
At this moment, wisps of black smoke appeared on the gradually mutated Red-Robed Ghosts, and their twisted limbs quickly returned to normal, floating up again one by one.
"Look at you! You're disgusting! Huh?! Did you have your face done at some damn plastic surgery clinic? Your skin is so smooth and shiny, like a freshly peeled egg, it looks so tender it makes you want to smash it!"
Seemingly feeling a bit better, the middle-aged man spoke freely, but this time his target was Lin Xu.
Lin Xu was in a daze, and along with the vicious words, a strange spiritual force quietly attacked, trying to disrupt his consciousness.
"Get out of here!"
A sudden surge of anger arose in his heart, which was then ignited and burned by the Glazed Fire, purifying the strange mental energy.
