Reincarnated As a Fox With System

Chapter 1142: Chapter 1142: Sudden Danger!

These hundred spiders were also not ordinary spiders.

Their pitch-black bodies looked as if they were made from black stones.

Nevertheless, Tang Li Xue still felt extremely disgusted when she saw those black spiders, especially when so many of them were crawling down from the cave’s wall!

If anyone who had arachnophobia saw this army of disgusting black spiders, they might have already fainted on the spot as soon as they saw it.

Even Tang Li Xue, who did not have arachnophobia, had goosebumps. She also had a strong urge to turn around and run away right now.

Before Tang Li Xue could do anything, [Imperial Frost Wyrm] and Lu Xingchen had already made their moves first!

[Imperial Frost Wyrm] opened its mouth and sprayed out [Frost Dragon Breath] toward the army of black spiders!

Lu Xingchen also swung his sword and unleashed dozens of quick slashes in the blink of an eye!

[Imperial Frost Wyrm]’s [Frost Dragon Breath] froze so many black spiders into ice statues, while Lu Xingchen’s sharp sword energy slashes chopped many black spiders into small pieces!

The army of black spiders seemed to be provoked by [Imperial Frost Wyrm] and Lu Xingchen’s attacks, then they let out a loud, angry screech!

Tang Li Xue also wanted to attack the army of black spiders as soon as she saw them, but she was afraid that her attack would make the spiral cave ceiling collapse instead.

’Urgh, I should practice my power control and accuracy more later.’ Tang Li Xue complained in her heart because she could not use her power so precisely like Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen could attack the army of black spiders with rapid sword energy slashes without destroying the cave’s wall, but Tang Li Xue clearly could not do so.

If she unleashed her large-scale offensive skills, such as [Starfall], [Sun Dragon Incarnation], [Rapid Void Bullet Shots], [Crescent Moon Cleave], or [Moon Shattering Blast], she would definitely hit the cave’s wall and spiral ceiling, which might cause the cave to collapse.

In the end, Tang Li Xue decided to only use [Moonlight Flashing Edge] to attack the incoming black spiders.

[Moonlight Flashing Edge] was surely very fast and sharp, but its effect against multiple enemies was quite limited.

Each time Tang Li Xue unleashed [Moonlight Flashing Edge], she could only cut a few black spiders at best.

The army of black spiders surely would not just wait for Tang Li Xue, Lu Xingchen, and others to slay them all just like that, so they started to counterattack!

The army of black spiders spat out their spider webs toward Tang Li Xue, [Imperial Frost Wyrm], and Lu Xingchen!

Fortunately, Tang Li Xue had already set two layers of protective barriers that covered herself, [Imperial Frost Wyrm], and Little Loki beforehand.

But as soon as the spider webs touched the two layers of protective barriers created by Tang Li Xue, they made loud sizzling sounds!

The black spider webs actually had extremely corrosive properties!

It did not take long for Tang Li Xue’s two layers of protective barriers to be riddled with holes!

”This is not looking good!” Tang Li Xue muttered while frowning deeply.

Tang Li Xue turned her head to see if Lu Xingchen was caught in the corrosive spider webs.

Fortunately, Lu Xingchen controlled the sword sheath under his feet to move around very fast in a zigzag pattern, so the spider webs could not touch him yet.

However, Tang Li Xue knew that this was not looking good at all for them.

The function of spider webs was actually not to injure or kill them but to trap them.

Once these black spiders finished setting the cobwebs around this spiral ceiling, then Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen would no longer have any place to avoid them!

[Imperial Frost Wyrm] and Lu Xingchen had already used their [Frost Dragon Breath] and sword energy slashes to freeze and cut the corrosive spider webs, but they were not very effective against it.

It did not take long for the entire spiral ceiling to be covered in the corrosive cobwebs with hundreds of black spiders crawling all over it!

Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen no longer had any place to move around.

They were like two flies trapped in the middle of cobwebs.

”Uh, Miss Fox, if you still have another trump card, then this is the right time for you to use it.” Lu Xingchen said to Tang Li Xue.

Tang Li Xue adorably rolled her topaz blue eyes.

”Oh, well... It seems this is really my turn to work harder.” Tang Li Xue hesitated for a few moments before she sighed and spread her hands.

On her right palm was the Golden Sun Flames, while on her left palm was the deep blue Flame of Pride!

”Go and burn those disgusting webs for me~!” Tang Li Xue muttered as she threw the Golden Sun Flames and the deep blue Flame of Pride toward the corrosive cobwebs!

BWOOOSH—!

As soon as the Golden Sun Flames and the deep blue Flame of Pride touched the corrosive cobwebs, they immediately burned the corrosive cobwebs and spread around very fast!

Lu Xingchen’s eyes were shining in delight, and he commented: ”Wow~! You actually have two kinds of high-ranking spirit flames?! Why didn’t you use them earlier?”

”Because you do not ask me to use them?” Tang Li Xue replied playfully to Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen: ”.....”

Tang Li Xue giggled in amusement when she saw that Lu Xingchen became so speechless.

After Tang Li Xue’s Golden Sun Flames and the deep blue Flame of Pride burned down the corrosive cobwebs, Lu Xingchen and [Imperial Frost Wyrm] continued to slaughter the black spiders.

As for Little Loki, its job was still the same as before.

Little Loki had already secretly told Tang Li Xue that the black spiders should also have the shiny gemstones inside their bodies, but with different attributes.

Tang Li Xue also gave Little Loki the same order as before.

’Secretly retrieve the shiny gemstones from the black spider bodies without being noticed by Lu Xingchen.’

When Lu Xingchen and [Imperial Frost Wyrm] were busily slaughtering the army of black spiders, Little Loki secretly moved around swiftly with its [Instant Teleportation] and grabbed the shiny gemstones from inside the slaughtered black spiders.

This battle might look much easier than the previous stone creatures, but Tang Li Xue knew that it would not be that easy.

”Do not let your guard down yet. I sense an even greater threat up there.” Tang Li Xue warned Lu Xingchen and [Imperial Frost Wyrm].

But right after Tang Li Xue finished her word, she suddenly sensed an extreme danger with her [Extrasensory Perception]!

A spear suddenly flew downward from the top of the spiral ceiling toward her at extremely high speed!

It was already too late for Tang Li Xue to dodge it, so she decided to use [Stellar Banishment] to banish herself to the empty starry sky space, but before she could do it...

Lu Xingchen suddenly stood right in front of her!

CLANG—!

Lu Xingchen swung his sword to parry the spear!

Both Tang Li Xue and Lu Xingchen thought the spear was parried successfully, but the tip of the spear suddenly curved and changed direction!

PUFF—!

The spear actually pierced Lu Xingchen’s left chest!

Lu Xingchen’s expression was filled with disbelief as he coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood.

”Lu Xingchen—!” Tang Li Xue exclaimed in shock.

Tang Li Xue hastily caught Lu Xingchen’s body before he fell down.

When Tang Li Xue wanted to pull out the spear from Lu Xingchen’s left chest, she noticed that the spear was actually woven from the corrosive spider webs!

There was also a thin spider thread connected to the spear’s butt, which should be the reason why the spear could suddenly change direction and turn in mid-air!

PUFF—!

The spear flew out from Lu Xingchen’s left chest and charged toward Tang Li Xue again!

The spear’s speed was still very fast, like a flash of thunder!

Tang Li Xue no longer dared to carelessly touch or block the spear, so she decided to unleash her Golden Sun Flames and the deep blue Flame of Pride to try to burn the spear instead!

Surprisingly, the corrosive spider webs woven to make the spear seemed to be much more resilient than the spider webs created by the army of black spiders!

The web spear passed through the wall of flames created by Tang Li Xue and flew toward Tang Li Xue’s face!

Just when Tang Li Xue wanted to use [Shadow Flash] to avoid the web spear, Little Loki suddenly appeared right in front of Tang Li Xue and swallowed the web spear into its tiny mouth!

Little Loki puffed out its chest and put on a smug look.

”Good job, Little Loki! There should be more web spears coming at us soon. I can only count on you to block them, Little Loki.” Tang Li Xue said while patting Little Loki’s soft, furry head.

Then Tang Li Xue hastily checked Lu Xingchen’s condition.

To be honest, Lu Xingchen’s current condition was not looking good.

Lu Xingchen was quite lucky that the web spear did not pierce right into his heart, but the corrosiveness of the web spear had already spread around Lu Xingchen’s wound.

If Tang Li Xue did not use Spiritual Healing Water to clean Lu Xingchen’s corroded wound and heal his wound, then there was a very high chance that Lu Xingchen might not be able to survive.

Tang Li Xue hesitated for a while on whether she should save Lu Xingchen or not.

After all, Lu Xingchen had already tried to kill her a few times before.

But Lu Xingchen got stabbed by the web spear because she tried to protect her just now.
