Although Tang Burou and five other peak experts were on the sides and rear of the team, they could only reduce the team's casualties at most. The five of them alone could not stop or kill all the charging Skull-Splitting Eagle Spiders.

As they drew closer, swarms of eagle-headed spiders wandering in the distance began to notice them and showed signs of gathering on both sides of the road.

"Charge!" Yi Han suddenly let out a wild laugh, and was the first to accelerate, rushing forward along the road.

Based on previous experience, as long as you follow this road and rush out of this area, these monsters will stop chasing you.

The faster they charge and the sooner they break through, the fewer casualties the team will suffer.

With Yi Han leading the way, followed closely by Li Yu and Hei Longxuan, everyone began to run, especially the remaining 12 members of the group.

Advanced spore stage.

Apart from Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang, who were deliberately protected by Li Yu, the remaining nine people did not receive such treatment, and these were the moments they feared most.

After all, let alone so many terrifying C-rank elite Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders, even ordinary C-rank Eagle-Headed Spiders could easily kill them.

It would take at least several high-level spore-stage beings working together to stop a single eagle-headed spider.

The difference in their strength is too great; it's fair to say that their survival depends entirely on luck.

As everyone ran wildly, the three fastest runners, Yi Han and his companions, soon encountered the Eagle-Headed Spider.

Faced with this group of eagle-headed spiders, Li Yu didn't even need to activate his Yin power. Yi Han and Hei Longxuan could easily kill them. They led their team and charged into the swarm of eagle-headed spiders that were gathering in front of them.

From the densely packed rock pillars, cries rang out as an even more powerful Skull-Splitter Eagle Spider leaped into the air, its fleshy short wings spread, and used gliding to glide towards the group.

Further away, on a massive pile of rocks, even more Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders are gathering.

Not counting the skull-splitting eagle spiders that might be hidden in the mist in the distance, the number of those that the people in front of them can see is at least in the hundreds.

The group charged into the swarm of eagle-headed spiders, quickly advancing thirty or forty meters along the road. Finally, the first skull-splitting eagle-headed spider appeared, heading towards Yihan.

Following closely behind were three more skull-splitting eagle spiders.

Li Yu activated the "Yin Power," and his heart began to pound violently, continuously channeling powerful Yin Power to his limbs and bones. His physical strength, power, reaction, and speed were all increasing.

To minimize casualties for the team, Yi Han did not hold back his strength. In a single exchange, he unleashed his strongest berserk power, his right arm swelling into a pillar.

Now he began to understand why Yi Han chose this white trench coat. It wasn't entirely because he liked to show off, but because the material of this white trench coat was extremely elastic, which was suitable for the expansion and enlargement of his berserk giant arm.

When he changed into other, less elastic clothing, his right arm went berserk, and the sleeve immediately burst open.

However, the white trench coat is now covered in blood and mold, and its original color is completely unrecognizable.

In a single exchange, the berserk giant fist struck fiercely, killing the first skull-splitting eagle spider that charged at it.

Following closely behind this skull-splitting eagle spider were three other skull-splitting eagle spiders.

Yi Han pounced on the second Skull-Splittering Eagle Spider.

Beside him, Li Yu and Hei Longxuan attacked simultaneously.

They all unleashed their strongest moves from the outset, and everyone shared the same thought: to break out as quickly as possible.

The surface of the Black Dragon Xuan's ice spear was covered with a large amount of frost. The ice spear gathered an endless stream of icy energy, transforming into a giant spear that was over two meters long.

With a single blow, the giant spear killed the skull-splitting eagle spider in front of it.

Faced with the icy aura emanating from the giant spear, the Skull-Splitter Eagle Spider was frozen upon contact, unable to resist, and was instantly killed.

The four fastest-charging scorpion spiders were killed almost instantly, and the group had already rushed forward fifty meters along the road.

The swarms of Skullspider spiders finally surrounded them completely. Not only were the roads ahead teeming with them, but they also began to appear on both sides of the group, and even at the rear.

Sun Haocheng, Hao Tie, Zhao Wu, Su Juan, and Tang Burou all took action to defend against the surging Skull-Splitting Eagle Spiders.

With their strength, killing a single Skullspider one-on-one wouldn't be difficult, but with swarms of Skullspiders rushing in, let alone killing them, simply being able to hold off these charging Skullspiders without being routed would be an extraordinary feat.

Even among top-tier experts, the difference in strength among them is also divided into different levels.

Li Yu entered the strongest state of Yin Power and Super Capture, wielding the Heavenly Wolf Blade in his right hand and the Death Mushroom Umbrella in his left. He could be said to have pushed his strength to the limit, completely overwhelming the Skull-Splitting Eagle Spider in both power and speed.

Every time they made a move, a Skull-Splitter Eagle Spider would inevitably fall.

Yi Han and Hei Longxuan's performances were equally stunning. The three of them were like a sharp knife, piercing through the swarm of Skull-Splitting Eagle Spiders blocking their way.

One by one, the skull-splitting eagle spiders were thrown out amidst their screams and cries.

Although these skull-splitting eagle spiders possess the fungal technique of "exploding fungal sacs," which can launch fungal sacs from the red fungal crevices under their abdomen, creating an explosive effect, this is considered an area-of-effect attack.

However, there were too many of them, and they were crowded together. The spiders in the back were blocked by those in the front, so they could not use their fungal sacs to attack Li Yu and his companions. Instead, they were more likely to accidentally injure their own companions.

The skull-splitting eagle spider in front was killed by the three before it could even fire.

Lin Muying continuously activated "Fountain of Light" and "Fountain of Swiftness" to assist the three people in front. These two abilities not only enhance their speed and strength but also have powerful healing effects.

The power they are unleashing is constantly damaging their bodies, while these two abilities are precisely what are constantly repairing them, allowing them to endure longer.

The three charged out at such a fast speed that they quickly advanced more than a hundred meters along the road. On both sides and behind the group, five more peak experts joined forces with the top experts to resist them.

Their goal was not to kill the charging Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders, but simply to stop them; that would be considered a victory.

In a short time, Li Yu and his two companions led the group forward for over a hundred meters, and surprisingly, no one in the group died.

Then, at two hundred meters, Li Yu felt the power within his body flowing continuously from his heart to his internal organs and limbs. He could even see the Yin within his heart emitting a sky full of light, transforming it into energy.

Looking up ahead, the number of Skull-Splittering Eagle Spiders gathering from the front and all around was increasing. Although they didn't know how many they had killed along the way, the number appearing in their field of vision was decreasing rather than increasing.

Li Yu understood that countless fungal beasts were lurking in the surrounding black mist. If they couldn't rush away from this area as quickly as possible, the end result would be that everyone would exhaust themselves and die here.

Fortunately, he could vaguely see that the number of both skull-splitting eagle spiders and eagle-headed spiders had decreased significantly in the distance ahead of the road, and the rock pillars on both sides had also become sparse.

Judging from the distance, it was about a hundred meters away, which meant that if they continued to rush forward for another hundred meters, they could escape this area and shake off these skull-splitting eagle spiders.

Suddenly, a scream rang out from the right side of the formation.

Li Yu recognized the voice vaguely and felt a jolt in his heart. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the right side of the group.

The two peak experts guarding the right side of the group were Sun Haocheng and Hao Tie. Li Yu turned his head and saw Sun Haocheng's body flying backward in mid-air, blood gushing from his chest, crashing heavily backward like a kite with a broken string.

That scream came from Sun Haocheng's mouth.

At this moment, a giant eagle spider appeared before him, even larger than the skull-splitting eagle spider. Its eagle head was completely mutated, with most of its skull covered by a giant crown-shaped fungus cap, leaving only its beak, split into four pieces, exposed.

Its eyes have become hollows from which a constant flow of fungal sap extends. From these hollows, a large number of fine, hair-like mycelia extend, as if it is using these mycelia to perceive everything around it.

Its back is covered by a fungal carapace that spreads across its entire body. Its eight spider legs are as thick as tree trunks, with giant barbs growing from them. When its legs take root in the ground, radiating gray-green mycelium grows from the ground.

It was perched there, its massive size resembling a small car. Just now, it had swung its thick, tree-trunk-like spider legs, slashing through the air to knock the black-lined broadsword from Sun Haofei's hand.

With another thrust of its other spider leg, the barbs on it pierced Sun Haofei's chest, tearing him open and sending him flying through the air.

Sun Haofei's screams shook everyone around him.

Hao Tie, who was not far from him, roared and raised his heavy shield, wanting to rush over to help. Suddenly, he saw the giant monster raise one of its spider legs again, as fast as lightning, leaving a blur in the air.

With a "whoosh," the spider's leg pierced Sun Haocheng's head as he flew backward.

This mighty peak expert's head instantly exploded like a watermelon.

When Hao Tie saw this, he was shocked and his face showed a look of horror.

How could this monster be so terrifyingly powerful?

Such strength completely surpasses the scope of peak experts.

"The Mother of Fungal Spiders!"

Someone screamed in terror.

Li Yu heard this and his heart trembled violently.

The booklet from Xiao Gang recorded nearly a hundred kinds of fungal beasts. Apart from those unknown species that had no pictures but only simple descriptions, the remaining dozens of species were divided into six categories.

They are classified into three categories: Category D and Category C.

The most powerful of these is undoubtedly the C-grade rare class.

The entire booklet only introduces five types of C-grade rare fungal beasts.

The mother of the fungal spider is one of these five.

Along the way, Li Yu didn't know how many C-level elite beasts he had killed, but this was the first time he had seen a C-level rare beast.

A C-grade rare species, according to the description, it possesses strength surpassing the peak of the spore stage. When this Mother of Fungi Spiders appeared, it killed a peak expert with just a few of its spider legs.

Everyone was stunned.

Hao Tie, who was about to charge forward, suddenly stopped, a look of shock on his face.

The next instant, two screams rang out.

The mother spider moved all eight legs in unison, with two of them springing out so fast that they created phantoms in the air.

The two top experts didn't even have time to react, and were struck by the two spider legs before they could even scream.

One of them was hit in the head and suffered the same fate as Sun Haocheng. The head that was hit exploded instantly, with blood, flesh and white brain matter splattering everywhere.

Another was hit in the abdomen, the terrifying force ejecting a huge, transparent blood hole from his belly. His body spun and flew out, crashing into another advanced spore-stage cultivator.

The mother spider kept moving, her eight legs constantly paddling forward as she charged into the ranks.

The team, which had been sprinting forward at full speed, was thrown into chaos.

The Mother Spider arrived too quickly; in the blink of an eye, three more people were thrown out, covered in blood and spinning around. It rushed behind Lin Muying, Qian Lili, Zhou Xigang, and the others.

Li Yu knew something was wrong. Although he knew the other party was extremely dangerous, he still turned around without hesitation and rushed back.

His heart pounded violently, and he unleashed all his strength to the limit. With a wave of his left hand, the Death Mushroom Umbrella opened, transforming into a gigantic death mushroom that flew through the air, passing over Lin Muying's head and crashing down towards the Mother of Fungi Spiders.

"Get out of the way!"

Li Yu roared at Lin Muying and the other two.

Hei Longxuan was shocked to see Sun Haofei dead.

He had a good relationship with Sun Haofei, who had always respected him and considered him a loyal partner. He never imagined that Sun Haofei, who was already a top expert, would die here.

His already cold face turned even paler. Black Dragon Xuan pushed off with both feet, turned around and pounced, his hands gripping the giant spear. Even though his opponent was a rare C-rank beast, rumored to possess strength surpassing that of a peak expert, he was not afraid at all.

Everything happened so fast. From the appearance of the Mother Spider and her killing of Sun Haocheng, to her intrusion into the group and the resulting chaos, to her killing several people and rushing to the front of the group, appearing behind Lin Muying and the others, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Tang Burou and Zhao Wu, witnessing this, were extremely shocked, but still rushed towards the Mother of the Fungal Spiders without hesitation.

They understood that this terrifying Class C rare beast, a being beyond the pinnacle, could not be killed by any one person alone; they had to unite to kill it.

Otherwise, everyone would die here today, and there would be no way to escape.

After all, the Mother Spider might be faster than them.

With a loud "boom," the two spider legs of the Mother of Fungi Spider, which were originally about to sweep across Lin Muying, now moved upwards and collided with the giant death mushroom that was crashing down on them.

This giant death mushroom had been enhanced three times and now contained Yin power, enough to easily shatter a wall. However, it was struck by two spider legs and, with a loud bang, the mushroom cap was sent flying, unable to harm the mother of the fungus spider.

Li Yu saw this and was shocked.

The power of this mother fungus spider exceeded his imagination.

Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and the others finally realized what was happening and, reminded by Li Yu, rushed to the side as if their lives depended on it.

Li Yu rushed forward almost simultaneously. Under the "super-capture" effect, his speed was terrifying. His right hand, the Heavenly Wolf Blade, slashed down from the air, and a dark blue light shone through the blade, slashing towards the Mother of Fungi Spiders.

With a "clang," the Mother of Fungi Spiders raised one of her spider legs again and flicked it upwards, striking the descending Sirius Blade.

The Heavenly Wolf Blade couldn't cut through its spider legs, which were as thick as tree trunks; instead, it was bounced up and flew violently.

Li Yu's right arm jolted, and he was lifted into the air by this immense force.
