Angina would not have imagined that Zhang Chen had controlled the lava beetles with his abilities.
After all, the alliance of so many ice-element ability users had been pushed back repeatedly by the monsters. How could Zhang Chen's abilities alone be that powerful?
Moreover, no survivor had mastered an ability that could freeze living creatures from a distance.
Therefore, Gianna believed that Zhang Chen possessed a control-type skill, such as illusion, pacification, or paralysis.
"You will be a good support!"
Angina said with a smile.
"Mmm, perhaps!"
Zhang Chen replied noncommittally.
"You need to have confidence in yourself. Although the Supreme Being is powerful, he is still human. As long as he is human, he will have weaknesses!"
Angina thought Zhang Chen lacked confidence in his own strength, so she gently patted his shoulder and encouraged him softly.
"Oh..."
Zhang Chen uttered an "oh," unsure if Angina's words were directed at him or herself.
"Wuuu!~"
Another sharp cry echoed.
The spectators in the stands seemed unsatisfied with the battle.
Angina had killed three lava beetles, ending the battle prematurely when it should have been more brutal.
Thus, these people did not give those on the field any time to rest and recover, immediately commencing the third round of monster attacks.
"Keep it up! I heard there are only three rounds of monsters. If we can survive this round, we will be one step closer to seeing the Supreme Being!"
Angina smiled slightly and said.
"Okay!"
It was certainly good to see the Supreme Being sooner.
They couldn't just keep fighting endlessly here.
"Gaga... Kaka..."
Wisps of mist slowly spread from the pipeline worm's teleportation portal.
Then, a figure quickly rushed out and disappeared into the mist, leaving only the rustling sound of footsteps.
"It's bugs! It's the sound of bugs!"
"Everyone be careful, stay away from the mist and gather in the center!"
"This mist is so cold, it feels like tiny particles of ice and snow..."
"Whatever it is, it's definitely not good!"
The survivors shouted, urging the crowd to gather towards the center of the plaza.
Fortunately, the mist did not continue to spread, only enveloping the teleportation portal.
After a while, the mist gradually dispersed.
The ground and rocks were all covered with a thick layer of white frost.
"Where are the monsters? Could the monsters in this round just be mist!"
"There are definitely monsters, and they are insect-like. I heard the sound of bugs crawling!"
"But there's no sound now, it's very quiet."
Everyone, armed with their weapons, stared tensely in the direction of the teleportation portal.
The field was so quiet that one could even hear the rapid breaths of others.
"There are monsters, and many of them!"
Zhang Chen said lightly.
To the naked eye, only patches of white frost could be seen.
However, after activating Absolute Vision, Zhang Chen could clearly see clusters of energy veins crawling on the rocks and the ground.
The patterns on their bodies were very similar to the white frost, making it difficult to distinguish between frost and monster patterns at first glance.
Name: Frost Blossom Spider
Level: Mutated Type VIII Creature
Skills:
[Slow Silk]: Can create silk that is both sticky and cold, exponentially slowing down the target's movement speed, while also dealing cold damage.
[Extreme Cold Breath]: Exhales a mass of extremely cold gas, instantly freezing the opponent for food preservation. When needed, it can be thawed for consumption, or the ice block can be directly shattered to obliterate the target.
[Ice Armor]: A layer of sturdy, low-temperature ice armor covers the body's surface, reflecting energy attacks with a 30% probability, reducing physical damage by 50%, inflicting cold damage on approaching enemies, and absorbing a small amount of energy.
These spiders were of a high level!
It was a pity they didn't see a spider queen; otherwise, Mo Ran would have been very happy.
"You can see the monsters?"
Angina asked in surprise.
"I guessed!"
Zhang Chen replied casually.
If he said he could see the monsters, what if Angina asked him to point them out?
There were so many monsters, he couldn't possibly point them all out.
Furthermore, once he pointed them out, if the monsters moved and changed positions, his efforts would be in vain.
So, it was up to them. If they couldn't sense the monsters, it would be difficult for him to solve the problem, other than personally taking action to eliminate the spiders.
"Mmm, but your guess is somewhat reasonable. I can feel danger nearby; it's definitely not as calm as it looks!"
Angina nodded, then drew her bowstring to its limit and casually shot at a patch of ground.
*Dong!*
The energy arrow hit the ground, creating an indentation.
Miss!
*Swoosh!*
Another arrow!
This time, the arrow did not explode upon hitting the ground but bounced off in another direction.
*Boom!*
The energy arrow blasted the rock into fragments, which scattered down.
"These monsters can reflect energy attacks, and they are hiding in the frosty ground and rocks. Everyone be careful!"
Angina was very smart and immediately realized the monsters' characteristics, shouting loudly.
"If we can't use energy attacks, let's continue with bows and arrows, sisters, let's fire a volley!"
The women who had gathered the ice-element survivors to defeat the lava beetles once again used their bows and arrows.
*Swish, swish, swish, swish!*
Hundreds of arrows were indiscriminately fired at the ground directly in front of them in a carpet bombing fashion.
*Ding, ding! Clang!*
*Poof!*
After a series of sounds, only a few Frost Blossom Spiders were hit in the gaps between their ice armors, letting out cries of pain.
All other attacks were neutralized by the ice armor.
"Gaga, Kaka!"
The Frost Blossom Spiders realized that ambushing further was useless; the prey would not willingly come to them to die.
Suddenly, another wave of cold aura emanated from within them.
However, this time, the white mist did not spread out but moved rapidly along the ground.
"It's cold air! They are using the cold air to cover the ground with frost, which helps them hide!"
"Keep using ranged attacks to drive them back, don't let them get close!"
"Fire continuously, a volley of arrows!"
Following the command.
Countless arrows incessantly covered the surrounding ground like a storm.
A continuous series of dinging and clanging sounds arose, like raindrops hitting metal vessels.
*Haa~ Hiss~*
Suddenly, a Frost Blossom Spider lunged at a survivor, spewing cold air from its mouth that immediately froze the target into an ice sculpture with a face full of terror.
At this moment, a cheer erupted from the stands again.
"We need to find the spider queen. There are hundreds of them, and it's too troublesome to kill them one by one. We need a permanent solution!"
"But... where is the spider queen?"
Zhang Chen had scanned the arena two or three times but found no trace of the spider queen.
Logically, with such cautious and calculated combat, there must be a spider queen directing from behind, meaning it was hiding in a place where the plaza could be observed.
Could it be...
Zhang Chen tilted his head up and looked towards the stands.
