Chapter 129 Finding the Weakness
"Oh!"

Gwen crashed into the fire escape staircase of the residential building, making a loud noise.

The family seemed to be still renovating their home. There were buckets of white paint on the fire escape stairs. Gwen was caught off guard and the white paint poured directly on herself.

Gwen hurriedly pushed the paint bucket away, and then heard voices coming from inside the house. Turning around, she saw that the family had already turned on the bedroom lights and were hurriedly climbing up the fire escape.

After all, Gwen did not gain the spider mutation. Although the Qi infusion she received this afternoon allowed her to master advanced internal skills that ordinary martial artists would take seven or eight years to cultivate, her physical skills did not improve much.

She doesn't know any skills like the gecko wall-climbing technique, so naturally she can't move as fast as the wind in the iron jungle like Spider-Man.

But fortunately, the most powerful thing about true qi is its ability to increase one's own strength. After all, this is the main function of true qi. Du Mu uses skills like a mage every day, which is simply because he has too much energy in his body and has nowhere to spend it.

Although Gwen cannot cling to the wall like a spider, she can throw herself far away with just a little effort and some force with her arms.

She only took two steps on the fire escape staircase and made it to the roof.

Gwen raised her hands, somewhat incredulous at her current strength.

Without the help of any machinery, just... the so-called power transmission, can the physical fitness undergo such a huge change?
Just looking at the white paint on the back of her hand, Gwen felt apologetic.

She originally wanted to take a taxi directly to find her father, but Gwen knew the community streets managed by her father, so she quickly found relevant news in the search just now.

An indescribable monster with many legs is wreaking havoc near his and Peter's school.

Since the man seemed to have lost his mind and kept wandering around the same place, the crime scene had been cordoned off and even reporters couldn't get in, let alone a taxi.

Besides, the distance was not far, and Gwen was impulsive and put on Peter's suit directly, trying to imitate Spider-Man and quickly reach the scene by swinging.

Due to the hasty situation, Gwen simply put on a white hoodie on the outside to cover her body.

Fortunately, Peter also has a slender figure. Although Gwen is shorter than Peter, her chest circumference is bigger than Peter's. Although it is not very comfortable to wear, it does not affect her movement.

At this time, the exposed parts of the spider suit were stained white, but fortunately the hoodie was also white, so it didn't look so dirty.

Gwen felt frustrated for a moment. She had just swung on the spider silk, and such a big situation had happened. Could she really help her father? Or would she just make things worse if she ran over?

She pulled out her phone from the zipper pocket of her hoodie to double-check the situation, when suddenly, a dull sound came from the distance.

"boom--!"

Gwen looked up suddenly and saw a sudden burst of flames from a high-rise building a few blocks away.

She clenched the phone in her hand, and the voice of the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle came from the news she had just opened.

"…So I can't help but ask, what does this monster that looks like a stilt-jumping spider have to do with Spider-Man?"

"Is he the true appearance of the spider monster? Even if not, doesn't he call himself a hero? Why didn't Spider-Man show up when his 'compatriots' came out to cause chaos? Wake up, New Yorkers! Spider-Man has never been your hero! It's just a way to paralyze you!"

"You should really look at the real hope for America's future. Young people like Peter who truly help the helpless! Business elites like Peter Pharmaceuticals CEO who are no less capable than men! Young people like them are the hope for America's future!"

Gwen didn't care at all about what JJ Jonathan was saying. She watched the live broadcast in panic. All the reporters' cameras saw were fire and explosions.

Even the police car was overturned, and several police officers who were carrying their teammates out of the dangerous place staggered away from the camera.

But no matter how hard Gwen looked, she couldn't find her father.

Jonathan's noisy voice is still ringing in my ears. Although he is praising Peter's pharmaceutical business, he is still slandering Spider-Man.

Gwen took a deep breath.

Her father was in danger. If she did nothing tonight and something bad happened, she would never forgive herself in her life.

Gwen gritted her teeth and put her phone back into her pocket, zipping it up to make sure it didn't fall out.

Then he stretched out his hand and shot out another spider silk, which stuck to another tall building.

Gwen took a deep breath and clenched the spider silk that solidified instantly. The silk was extremely sticky only at the end where it was launched, while the end was only slightly sticky, which allowed her to hold it without slipping.

This incident does seem like a crisis that Spider-Man would deal with in the past.

But Gwen knows clearly that the real Spider-Man is now saving ordinary people in another world.

Peter's words as he left echoed in his mind again.

'I'll just have to ask you, Gwen.'

There was a noise behind me, and the person who was woken up ran up the fire escape, following the paint footprints they had left.

There was nothing left to hesitate about.

Gwen raised her foot and jumped off the tall building.

When the Latino family discovered that their paint was spilled, they ran to the roof angrily and found a white figure jumping off the building.

They were frightened, it was just spilled paint, not serious, right?
Just as they were getting closer, the next moment, a white figure rose into the sky at an extremely fast speed!

The child stared blankly at the figure in the distance, and suddenly said excitedly, "It's Spider-Man! Spider-Man spilled our paint! I must show it off to my classmates tomorrow!"

Gwen felt the strong wind blowing against her body. Although she was wearing Spider-Man's uniform, it was not close fitting due to the size. Therefore, her clothes were rustling in the air current.

For a moment, Gwen felt dizzy and frightened by the extremely fast acceleration of the swing.

But the next moment, the powerful stimulation brought by adrenaline made her immersed in it in an instant.

It was just the first time that Gwen really swung, and she felt a thrill and excitement she had never experienced before.

So much so that she boldly let go of the spider silk in her hand after swinging to the highest point, and shot the spider silk again towards the building she thought was suitable!
It wasn't until she successfully replaced the spider silk that Gwen realized how dangerous her actions had just been.

If you are not careful and fail to hold on firmly, or the spider silk does not stick to the target, you will fall straight onto the concrete floor from a height of 100 meters and turn into a pool of meat.

But because of this... because of this extremely high risk, Gwen's adrenaline was secreted wildly. She could almost hear her heart beating and her blood pumping.

“Ooooooooooooo!”

Gwen finally couldn't help herself and made a sound as excited as if she was riding a roller coaster.

Fortunately, she knew her purpose and was not too immersed in it. It took her less than fifteen swings to reach her destination.

But the next question is...how to stop?
The Qi in Gwen's body was running at a high speed, and the adrenaline made her reactions extremely quick. Although the time she swung in the air was not long, it was enough for her to receive the general information of the entire battlefield in an instant.

Moreover, she also saw the target of her trip…George Stacy!

He was hiding under a store that had not yet been completed for renovation. In front of him was a thin layer of shopping mall billboards that seemed to have fallen from the roof.

And that monster, right at the central intersection of the block, kept throwing out all kinds of things, even police cars!

The explosion he had seen earlier was caused by a police car being thrown into a barbecue restaurant.

Most of Gwen's attention was on her father. The time she stayed in the air was only enough for her to sort out the location information of the enemy and her father, and she had no time to observe carefully.

She was about to reach the highest point of the swing, and then in that moment of suspension in the air, Gwen had to make a choice.

She needed to land, but if she dropped the spider silk directly, she would just fall to her death. If she continued to hold the spider silk, she would swing back in the direction she came from, and it might take several rounds to completely stop... This would waste at least half a minute.

At this time, Gwen noticed that the monster had several limbs that could move freely. One of them directly picked up the mailbox on the ground and threw it to the side and rear of itself.

But it was exactly the direction where George Stacey hid!

The billboard was suddenly bent, and George cried out in pain. The monster in the center heard the noise and slowly turned around.

There is no time to hesitate.

Gwen had reached the highest point at this time. She shot out spider silk again and stuck it to the building behind the monster, keeping herself and the monster in a straight line. Then, all her true energy was circulated in the bones and joints of her legs, like a sickle waving from bottom to top, and her whole body stabbed straight at the monster!

The monster paused slightly when he heard the sound of wind, and raised his head, only to see a pair of shoe soles.

"Bam—!!"

The huge impact force made Gwen unable to help but bend her knees, as if she was squatting on the ground, trying to unload the kinetic energy transferred to her body.

The next moment, the monster, which had borne almost all of Gwen's potential energy due to gravity, was blown away!

Even the ground that his robotic arm was firmly grasping was torn off in an instant, causing his robotic arm to fly out with a handful of asphalt and bricks.

Even so, Gwen rushed forward a few more meters before finally landing on the ground with a thud.

Since all the true energy was concentrated in her legs, Gwen fell so hard that she was dizzy and couldn't stand up for a while because of the pain.

But as she struggled, she noticed a flashing figure standing at the end of the surrounding road.

The lenses on Spider-Man's mask prevented Gwen from seeing the faces of those people clearly, and she could only notice the flashes of fire.

This also reminded Gwen that what she was playing now was not herself, not a delicate little girl, not a beauty who needed others to rescue her... She put on Peter's battle suit, Spider-Man's battle suit.

Then I must act as strong as Spider-Man.

Gwen gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, turned over and stood up from the side. The next moment, a fire hydrant fell directly on the spot where Gwen had just been lying.

This made Gwen break out in a cold sweat.

If I had been a little later... I would have been crushed to death, right?
Gwen slowly turned her head, and now she finally had time to take a closer look at the monster.

Her first impression was that it was tall, too tall, but not like a giant or a behemoth. Instead, it was like an octopus, with several long and narrow tentacles firmly grasping the ground to maintain the main body shape.

And at the end of the tentacles... is a terrifying creature with a body covered with green keratin, eyes with vertical pupils like cold-blooded animals, sharp teeth, and drooling.

Is this... a lizard?

Moreover, it is a lizard with four tentacles on its back. The combination of these different animals and humans creates an extremely unnatural and distorted feeling that still makes people feel their scalp tingling.

The two footprints on his face slightly ruined the monster look. The fangs in his mouth were also shaky, and it was obvious that several of them had fallen out. The saliva that flowed out was mixed with blood...

The monster shook its head, obviously having been kicked hard by Gwen just now.

When he gasped and raised his head again, his sharp eyes stabbed Gwen like a knife.

"hiss--!"

The lizard octopus made a sound almost like a venomous snake spitting out its tongue, and one of its mechanical tentacles reached straight towards the other.

Gwen was horrified and rolled and crawled away.

With a bang, the mechanical tentacles smashed the ground where Gwen was standing.

But the opponent had more than one tentacle... The other tentacle, as if cooperating with Gwen, took advantage of the gap when Gwen dodged and grabbed him from another angle.

Gwen dodged even more miserably, rolling over to avoid the attack with a hair's breadth.

But the first tentacle grabbed Gwen's leg again. Gwen pulled her leg back and curled up, unable to avoid the second tentacle's tearing.

With a "swish", the lower half of Gwen's hoodie was torn off, leaving only the shoulders, arm sleeves and the hood.

The hoodie also helped Gwen escape. She finally found an opportunity and used her hands and feet to crawl out of the attack range of the octopus lizard.

It’s too dangerous, too dangerous... Is Peter fighting such enemies every day?

If Peter were here, he would definitely deny it, because he had never encountered an enemy of this level in the past.

Originally Connors should have been the first one, but he had already developed a perfect repair potion and cured his disability, so it was impossible for him to turn into a lizard man again.

After Gwen crawled a distance away, she noticed George Stacy's astonished gaze not far away. She also noticed the indecent nature of her actions, so she quickly stood up and turned to look at the octopus lizard vigilantly.

The octopus lizard seemed to be planning to chase her, but there seemed to be some malfunction in its tentacles. A few sparks flew, and the octopus lizard actually began to roar at its own tentacles, as if it was losing its temper.

Gwen finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense heart finally settled down a little.

Only then did she hear her own heavy breathing as if her lungs were exploding and her heartbeat as violently as a drum.

It turns out that not everyone can take on the job of a superhero.

Fortunately... Fortunately, this guy has lost his mind and is just a pure beast, not that smart.

Otherwise, given the situation just now, just by thinking about it, there are many ways to catch or even kill me directly...

A layman, a beast that has lost his mind, maybe... there is a chance of fighting?

"boom!"

Suddenly, a pool of blood appeared on the forehead of the octopus lizard.

Gwen was stunned and looked in the direction of the blood splattering. Sure enough, the NYPD (New York Police) had sent reinforcements. It was the sniper's shot.

Just when she thought the matter was finally settled and breathed a sigh of relief, under Gwen's horrified gaze, the octopus lizard's originally tilted head slowly straightened up again.

A copper bullet fell to the ground with a clang, and the flesh and blood on the octopus lizard's forehead slowly recovered.

It was at this time that Gwen discovered that the wound that she had kicked at the beginning seemed to have healed on its own.

This effect...

How come this effect looks so much like the high-concentration repair medicine that the company customizes for high-end people?

Gwen felt increasingly heavy in her heart. The kick she had just thrown was the strongest attack she could make due to the effect of gravitational potential energy.

Even such heavy force is useless against this guy. How should I defeat him?
Just then, Gwen's cell phone rang from inside her torn coat.

The ringing of the cell phone attracted the attention of the octopus lizard. Gwen narrowed her eyes and immediately scanned the information of the entire battlefield, collecting the parts that she could use.

The gradually approaching New York police, the mechanical tentacles emitting electric sparks, and... the fire hydrant destroyed by the enemy not far away.

Although the opponent's body is a mutated lizard-like monster, its tentacles are made of mechanical materials and are not tightly packed, as if they are only half developed.

The presence of sparks means that the live parts inside have been exposed to the air.

Although there is no way to cause damage to the main body, you can try to destroy the enemy's troublesome tentacles first!

Gwen immediately shouted to George Stacy who was not far away: "Call! Call the fire department! His tentacles may be able to use water to create a short circuit!"

George Stacy was stunned when he heard Spider-Man's voice suddenly become a woman's.

Not only that…why does this voice sound familiar?

But now is not the time to think about these things. George Stacy sat on the ground as firmly as possible. Only then did Gwen realize that the reason he was hiding here was because one of his feet was pressed under the billboard.

And behind the father, there was a shivering little boy.

Gwen really wanted to go over and help her father lift up the billboard, but as soon as she took a step, the octopus lizard suddenly turned its head and threw several bricks held in its mechanical arm at Gwen!

Although Gwen's dodging action was awkward, she was ecstatic in her heart.

Found your weakness!
