Chapter 289 A Miracle Returns

Hmm?

Zhang Chen sensed a hint of danger.

But he couldn't pinpoint the source of this aura for the moment.

Regardless, with the Spider Queen's strength, it was impossible for her to be hit so easily by [Energy Strike]. This chapter is from kanshū.la.

Zhang Chen's move was originally a feint; he had already planned a series of subsequent attacks.

It was like playing chess, where a move might seem meaningless, but it actually determined the outcome of the entire game.

But who could have imagined that after this insignificant move, the opponent would surrender!

This made no sense!

What conspiracy did this Spider Queen have?!

Watching the Spider Queen's body vaporize bit by bit, disappearing.

As her body was about to vanish completely.

Suddenly, Zhang Chen's vision went black, and his breath caught!

A sticky black substance suddenly blocked his nose and mouth.

Then, it instantly burrowed into his body.

At the same time, the remaining, not completely destroyed, parts of the Spider Queen's body surged into Zhang Chen's body as if summoned.

Cough cough... cough cough...

Zhang Chen clutched his throat, trying to spit it out, but it was no use.

Worse still, the scenery before his eyes began to blur.

The world grew darker and darker, until all light was lost.

[Soul Burn] effect expired...

Zhang Chen knelt on the ground, motionless, his hands hanging down, his head bowed as if in penance.

After a while, he stood up, stretched his body, and moved his head.

Heh, so it was an early-stage evolution stage three. What a pity, just a little bit short!

If you were a mid-stage evolution, even just stage one, with my current weakened state, I wouldn't have been able to possess you!

It's just a shame you were only one level short. Now this body is mine!

I wonder how I can gather all the members of your number one organization in this world.

If I devour them all, it should hasten the awakening of my masterpiece!

The Spider Queen spoke through Zhang Chen's body, talking to herself.

Her voice had also changed to Zhang Chen's.

Otherwise...

The Spider Queen suddenly turned around, looking at Xiao Bai, who was in a coma.

And Er Pang, who was growling beside him.

Let's start with you two... my lovely fertilizer~

With that, she slowly walked towards Er Pang.

After only a few steps, the Spider Queen's expression froze, and she stiffened in place.

You... How could you have this thing... This... this is impossible...

The Spider Queen, with all her might, managed to utter this sentence hoarsely.

Then, Zhang Chen's skin began to writhe uncontrollably, as if something were trying to break out from within.

Guwa!

Zhang Chen straightened his body and threw his head back, opening his mouth wide.

A mass of black liquid suddenly shot out of Zhang Chen's mouth.

However, an invisible energy seemed to ignite her body.

Colorless flames rapidly consumed the Spider Queen's flesh and blood.

Watching her body vaporize bit by bit, disappearing...

Finally, the Spider Queen exploded in mid-air, about a dozen meters above the ground.

Her fragments turned into wisps of white mist and vanished into the air.

Thump!

A palm-sized, dark red egg fell from the sky, landing on the muddy ground.

Zhang Chen, standing nearby, blinked and regained control of his body.

A line of prompts appeared beside his body:

[The berserk energy contained within the Meteor Core can only be wielded by someone who has merged with the meteorite's energy. Unauthorized contact will result in a backlash and engulfment by the berserk power!]

So it was the meteorite core's energy!

It made sense, considering meteorites were the primary cause of this world's changes.

Everything in this world was essentially a derivative of meteorite energy.

Therefore, any life form originally existing in this world did not possess the ability to control the meteorite core!

But if that's the case... how did he merge with the meteorite?

Did the suppression of mutated creatures and the world environment during the first stage also exert some pressure on the meteorite core's energy?!

Zhang Chen drew a large question mark in his mind.

Suddenly, streams of dark red energy flowed from the center of Pingze City like a tide, flooding into Zhang Chen's body, darkening the sky...

At the same time...

A fierce battle was erupting in Pingze City.

As Zhang Chen ignited the foggy area, the pregnant women's bodies had also exploded prematurely.

Countless palm-sized ghost-faced spiders crawled out from within them and scattered.

These newborn ghost-faced spiders were only palm-sized, ran fast, and could hide in corners of rooms, gaps in furniture, and other hard-to-find places.

Then, when survivors weren't paying attention, they would suddenly drop onto their heads, clothes, or crawl into their mouths while they were sleeping.

They fed on the survivors' flesh and energy.

This kind of attack was far more difficult to defend against than facing the ghost-faced spiders head-on.

Many survivors were ambushed by the small ghost-faced spiders, their flesh and blood drained, turning them into horrifying mummified corpses.

As the small ghost-faced spiders grew, the number of ghost-faced spiders also increased.

A large number of ghost-faced spiders engaged in close combat with the survivors.

The leaders of several survivor camps, controlled by the brain spiders, also began to issue reckless orders, sending their members to their deaths.

For a time, the ghost-faced spider army's strength greatly increased!

Zhang Wenwen's reinforcements and Xiao Guanghan's team, cooperating with the major camp leaders, barely held off the ghost-faced spiders' offensive with their exquisite combat command and powerful individual fighting strength.

The main problem was the controlled camp leaders being so incompetent.

The ghost-faced spiders absorbed the survivors' energy, and their numbers grew.

Meanwhile, the survivors dwindled. As one side grew stronger, the other weakened.

If this continued, their annihilation was only a matter of time.

This is bad! All of our survivors are now divided into several groups by the ghost-faced spiders!

It seems they plan to divide and conquer us, concentrating their superior forces to defeat us one by one!

Xiao Guanghan stood on the rooftop, speaking with a troubled expression.

His team, along with the scattered survivors they had gathered, numbered only a little over fifty people.

And the sides of the building were covered in ghost-faced spiders.

On the rooftop on the other side, Zhang Wenwen's situation was also not optimistic.

The True God Cult fought bravely, killing the most enemies, but also suffered the heaviest casualties.

She had brought 300 elites from the True God Cult, but over seventy had died and nearly a hundred were injured.

The battle had suffered a huge loss.

Everyone, pull yourselves together! This is a test from the True God. As long as we pull ourselves together, we will definitely defeat the enemy!

Under the protection of the True God, these monsters are no match for us!

Zhang Wenwen, covered in dark red spider blood, stood at the edge of the rooftop and shouted with all her might.

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the gaps between the buildings.

It happened to paint her body in a golden-red hue...

The next second, the ghost-faced spiders covering the mountains and plains began to dismember, vaporize, and their dark red energy was instantly drawn away, flying towards the direction of the park...
