Versatile Mage: I was reborn as Mo Fan

Chapter 524. The Patient Hunter

More desert bone-eating spiders appeared. They did not touch the ground, but were all crawling or hanging upside down, forcing everyone to look up.

"Fire!" Kuma gave an order, and the mages of the mercenary group took the initiative to launch the first round of attack.

"Hisssssssss~~~!!!"

These beasts reacted very quickly. They looked like they were closing in on their prey just now, but when the magic flew towards them, they all shrank back into the crevices of the rocks where they could hide. Their movements were quick and coordinated!
After a magical sweep, few desert bone-eating spiders were killed. These desert bone-eating spiders seemed very patient. They kept hanging above everyone, staring at the mercenaries with their emerald green eyes.

In this situation, everyone actually felt uneasy.

"These guys seem to have a keen sense of smell," said Gavin, the regiment commander.

"Hmph, just a little trick." Deputy Captain Kuma said disdainfully.

After waiting quietly for a while, until the fallen rocks had completely settled, the desert bone-eating spiders remained very cautious.

This is indeed somewhat different from many social demons. Once most of the social demons see humans, they will basically pounce on them wildly. Their rushing posture is often easily caught by a well-trained team of magicians.

These desert bone-eating spiders were completely different. They were clearly lurking above the canyon and there were a lot of them, but few of them would impulsively jump down and pounce on people. They also used the terrain above the canyon to dodge the mercenary group's two magical attacks in a row!

"Are they going to keep fighting us like this?" Captain Tommy of the Third Division said impatiently.

"Why don't we leave here first?" someone suggested.

Kuma also felt that there was something wrong with these desert bone-eating spiders, so he asked the team members to move towards a wider road.

As soon as they moved, the Desert Bone-Eating Spiders took action. They made very subtle crawling sounds, and as the entire mercenary group moved, they also followed suit and moved their positions.

These things are always climbing and hanging above our heads, peeping, looking down, and waiting for an opportunity to strike. They really give people an extremely irritating feeling of pressure.

No one likes the feeling of being stared at by hundreds of spiders, and you have to keep your head up and watch to see if there is a spider lying quietly on the nearby rock wall, pouncing on them when they are not paying attention!
"Move towards Kuoxia. Once we get there, these creatures will have no choice but to climb on the stone walls on both sides of us. If they dare to follow us again, we will catch them all in one fell swoop," said Gavin, the regimental steward.

The mercenary group continued to move forward. About five or six hundred meters away was the wide gorge, which was a relatively direct large crack, about three hundred meters wide. There was the sky above their heads and rocky cliffs on both sides. The desert bone-eating spiders could not hide in the crevices of those rugged and strange rocks.

After walking about another hundred meters, the people of the Mailon Mercenary Group began to get frightened.

The desert bone-eating spiders behind them were no longer following, but the rocks on both sides of their way and above their heads were all crawling with these desert bone-eating spiders, making the originally pure brown rock walls look horrible and hideous, and there were pairs of eyes that sparkled like stars and made people shudder.

"How can there be so many?" Captain Tommy said in shock.

The other mercenaries began to panic. The number of these desert bone-eating spiders was more than they had imagined. What was even more disturbing was that they remained quietly guarding and did not take the initiative to attack.

“Damn, they are not planning to hunt. They are probably waiting for the impact of the flood to take us away in one wave!” Mo Fan suddenly thought of something and said immediately.

Soon, Mo Fan rushed to tell them.

We must find a long reverse slope within half an hour, otherwise everyone will be buried by the flood!!!
"What!!"

"The flood will rush here in about half an hour. Damn it, damn it, why does it have to rush here at this time!!"

"These desert bone-eating spiders must have killed a lot of prey using this method. Otherwise, why would they reproduce so much in such a barren place?"

Deputy Captain Kuma's eyebrows were furrowed even more. They had noticed the reverse long slope, which was about 1 kilometer away from the original return route. But now they couldn't even move forward four or five hundred meters. How could they retreat this 1 kilometer? How many desert bone-eating spiders were lying on this one-kilometer road, waiting for their prey to fall into their trap?
But everyone knows that if you don't retreat, you will die.
"There is no other way, quickly retreat to the long slope of the reverse!" "The ninth squad, go to the front to open the way. All other squads follow immediately!" Deputy Captain Kuma ordered.

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

When Zhao Manyan heard this order, he immediately got furious.

“Fuck! Why do you ask us to be searchlights? Everyone knows that there are desert bone-eating spiders all around here???” Zhao Manyan cursed.

"I'm in front, you guys follow me." Ai Jiangtu said.

“Be careful. These desert bone-eating spiders may be only a few meters away from you or even closer. You won’t even have time to cast magic.” Nanjue said.

"It's okay, I reacted quickly enough." Ai Jiangtu said confidently.

"I'm behind him, helping him deal with the targets in his blind spot." Mu Ningxue said.

Ai Jiangtu and Mu Ningxue led the way, and the others quickly followed them.

As soon as the 9th Division set off, all the members of the Mailon Mercenary Group followed, and everyone maintained a relatively fast pace.

"sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss~~~"

"."

Just when this group of people were about to escape from here, the desert bone-eating spiders that had been hiding on the rocks took action.

However, these little Karami are not worth mentioning at all to them.

On the way back, something began to wriggle on the stone walls on both sides. If you didn't look carefully, you would think it was just a layer of mud and water on the rock. But in the next second, they would use their front claws, which were carrying terrible poison, to grab the running wizard fiercely and poke him directly from the shoulders!
Apparently, they just hadn't moved before, they were very patient!

A very cunning demon tribe!
They just wanted to wait for these humans to be buried. How could they let them leave safely now?

"Ai Jiangtu, stop for a moment." Mu Ningxue said.

Ai Jiangtu, who was leading the way, was about to turn into the narrow rock passage ahead, but he stopped immediately when he heard Mu Ningxue's voice.

"Moon Ice Flash!"

Mu Ningxue stood at the entrance of the rock tunnel. She raised her right arm in a knife-hand gesture. Moon-white frost quickly condensed on her slender fingers, extending from her fingertips to the crook of her right arm. It looked like a moon-lit thorn had appeared.

Mu Ningxue swung out the Moonlight Frost Ice, and a frost crescent with a diameter of about ten meters could be seen flying towards the dim rock tunnel. The Moonlight Frost Light gave the tunnel a slightly cold glow. As this ray of Moonlight flashed like a wild goose passing by, starting from the entrance of the tunnel, hidden figures emerged one after another.

"Creak, creak, creak~~~"

The desert bone-eating spiders lying on the wall of the corridor had nowhere to hide in the moon's ice flash. Their bodies turned into ice and none of them escaped.

Ai Jiangtu was stunned. Before entering the rock tunnel, he had predicted that there would be many desert bone-eating spiders inside, but he didn't expect that the number would be three or four times more than he imagined.
