Ye Zi shouted and stood in front of Hao Yun, shield in hand.
Sizzle!
The spider's venom landed on the shield, instantly causing a puff of green smoke to rise.
You don't need to test it to know it's toxic; it's definitely potent. If you get bitten or sprayed on yourself, you're in big trouble.
"Everyone be careful and avoid getting the venom on you. If you are poisoned, take the antidote immediately and stand with your back against the wall to prepare for battle!"
Since there was no way to retreat, Hao Yun had no intention of retreating either; he would fight to the death!
A spider descended from above, its web dangling down, and spat a mouthful of venom onto Hao Yun.
"Damn it!"
Hao Yun's blood volume began to drop, with ten drops of blood per breath. At this rate, without an antidote, Hao Yun wouldn't last three minutes.
Hao Yun took out a bottle of antidote and immediately swallowed it. Then he took out a healing pill and put it in his mouth.
The battle began, and the five of them displayed their unique abilities. Ye Zi held up a shield to defend herself, adding a protective barrier to everyone, and began to use her Punishment skill to clear out the spiders.
Six-Wa and Time Machine worked together, with Six-Wa responsible for weakening the spider to low health and Time Machine responsible for finishing it off.
Sun Wukong, who was at the forefront, was in a terrible state. He was covered in green venom and had been sprayed with poison countless times.
Chapter 203 The Fourth Level of the Ruins
"What a nasty spider!"
Sun Wukong, who was at the front, was constantly blocked by spider webs, and at the same time, many spiders kept spitting venom at him.
"The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked!"
With a roar, Sun Wukong leaped high into the air and crashed into the swarm of spiders.
Boom!
Pebbles flew everywhere, and dozens of spiders were smashed to pieces.
Hao Yun, a member of the team, quickly filled the gap left by Sun Wukong, focusing on clearing out the spiders falling from above.
Hao Yun's Frenzy skill has now stacked over a hundred times, more than doubling his attack power.
Cutting down spiders is basically a one-hit kill. Even if you don't kill them in one hit, the passive skill Sword Aura will trigger and finish them off.
"I feel like there are more and more spiders!"
Time Machine, whose mana bar was depleted, squatted in the center of the team, drank a mana potion, and looked around to observe the battle situation.
"I think so too, there's no way we can kill all these spiders?"
Even while Liuwa was changing crossbow bolts, he couldn't help but complain.
"Don't panic. Concentrate your firepower on the left side and try to create an opening so we can retreat."
While killing monsters, Hao Yun constantly observed the battle situation, looking for an opportunity to escape.
Sun Wukong, displaying his might amidst the swarm of spiders, is yelling as he unleashes his ultimate attack to clear out the monsters.
"The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked!"
Boom!
Another loud bang was heard, and a crack appeared in the ground, which continued to spread.
The battle was fierce, and no one noticed the crack in the ground. Everyone was desperately killing spiders, and no one had time to care about anything else.
Hao Yun slashed a spider that was descending vertically from above, then glanced at the entrance to the second floor. He couldn't help but mutter to himself that if the fight continued, the five of them would eventually be worn down by the spiders.
These spiders are troublesome and difficult to deal with, as they both spit venom and spin silk, and there are many of them.
"The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked!"
Sun Wukong used his skill again, and this time, the ground suddenly broke, and the five people fell down instantly.
The sudden fall caught the five people off guard, and they were immediately buried by the rubble.
About ten seconds later, the pile of rubble shook, and Hao Yun emerged from it.
"Ptooey, ptooey!"
Spitting out the sand and gravel from his mouth, Hao Yun shook his head, looked at the pitch-black surroundings, and hurriedly lit a torch.
Looking around, there were no spiders nearby. Looking up, the opening above was completely blocked by rubble, preventing the spiders from getting down.
With no worries about the future, Hao Yun began searching for his teammates.
"Time Machine, Sixth Brother, Leaf, Sun Wukong! Respond if you hear me."
There were many pebbles, and Hao Yun searched for a long time but couldn't find a single person.
"They weren't all crushed to death, were they?!"
With this in mind, Hao Yun quickened his pace, completely disregarding his worn nails and blood-stained fingers.
"Is everyone still alive? If so, please reply!"
Clang!
The rolling pebbles hit the iron, making a crisp sound. Hao Yun hurriedly turned his head to look and saw an iron rod sticking out from the pebbles not far away.
"Cough cough, it almost killed me, Old Sun. This dilapidated ruin is far too flimsy."
A monkey's head emerged from the pile of rubble; it was Sun Wukong, whom they had dug out from under the rubble.
"Sun Wukong, have you seen anyone else?!"
Hao Yun quickly dug out Sun Wukong and asked if he had seen the other three.
"No, it's pitch black down there. I dug straight up, but I didn't see anyone. Haven't they come out yet?"
After brushing off the dust and pebbles, Sun Wukong looked around in confusion.
"He didn't come out."
After replying to Sun Wukong, Hao Yun squatted down and continued digging.
"I'll help too."
Sun Wukong squatted down next to Hao Yun and started digging too.
The two of them digging together were much faster than Hao Yun digging alone.
After digging for about ten minutes, Hao Yun finally found the three people.
As she fell from above, Leaf instinctively raised the heavy shield above her head, protecting both the Time Machine and Six-Wa.
It seemed the three of them were out of luck; a huge rock pressed down on them, rendering them unable to move.
"help!"
Hao Yun shouted, bent down and crawled into the pile of rubble, barely managing to kneel on the ground to help Ye Zi carry the shield.
"Ye Zi, are you alright?"
The leaf, unable to straighten its back and struggling to breathe, lifted its dark face, grinned, and revealed a set of white teeth.
"It's okay, I can handle it."
The crisis was not over yet, and Hao Yun didn't have time to ask any more questions.
"Wukong, come here for a second and drag the time machine and Sixth Brother out."
These two unlucky creatures were stunned when they fell; if it weren't for the leaves, they would probably have been smashed into mincemeat.
Helping Ye Zi carry the shield, Hao Yun grabbed one of the time machine's legs and, with a whoosh, threw it out.
Sixth Brother was soon thrown out as well. Sun Wukong dragged the two of them to a safe place and peered out to ask them questions.
How did you get out?
Hao Yun glanced at Ye Zi and then observed the surrounding environment.
"Ye Zi, you go out first, then throw Sun Wukong's iron rod in."
"Why don't you go out first?"
As the two were arguing about who should go out first, the large rock pressing down on their heads suddenly shook, and the pile of rubble also swayed, as if a second landslide was about to occur.
"Ye Zi, hurry up and get out of here, don't waste time."
Hao used his back to prop up the shield and grabbed Ye Zi's shoulders to push her outwards.
"Stop dawdling and come out here!"
Sun Wukong had no concept of chivalry; he grabbed Ye Zi by the foot and dragged her away.
"Stick, throw the stick in quickly."
Seeing that a landslide was about to occur, Hao Yun became a little anxious. If a second landslide occurred, he would be buried alive. There would be no need to build a grave; a tombstone would suffice.
"for you!"
Sun Wukong was always decisive and efficient; he grabbed his staff and threw it in.
Hao Yun picked up the iron rod, used it to brace against the shield, took a deep breath, and flipped over to crawl out.
Boom!
The rubble collapsed, and the shockwave swept out, extinguishing the torches.
"Is everyone alright?"
Hao Yun took out a torch, lit it, and looked around.
"Phew! You scared me to death."
Ye Zi plopped down on the ground; she had just thought Hao Yun had been buried alive.
The three of them quickly bandaged their wounds and drank the antidote before they had time to deal with the Time Machine and Sixth Brother.
"Quickly, give them the antidote!"
You wouldn't believe it until you see it; it's truly astonishing.
