YM778.TV Chapter 163 Rotten Spider
"Young man, I advise you to be sensible. Ruining my plan, not even a deity can save you!" The old man\'s demeanor suddenly turned extremely malicious, abandoning his previous kind and gentle attitude.
Seeing the old man reveal his true nature, David decisively activated his Void Blades, judging from the aura. He felt that this old man was not someone to be trifled with, probably at a similar level to him, around level seven. However, the stench of decay emanating from him sent shivers down one\'s spine.
Without uttering a word, David turned his head to look at Sally and Arnold, only to find them still expressionless, stepping in place just like before.
"Charles, find a way to break his hypnosis!" David said to Charles beside him. He didn\'t know how harmful the old man\'s hypnosis was to the human mind. If it caused mental intrusion, it would be troublesome.
Charles nodded and began to trace the origin of the old man\'s ability, attempting to find any trace or clue.
Meanwhile, the old man, still hunched over, stared fixedly at David. It seemed that David was an unforgivable sinner in his eyes.
"It seems that you are truly an ignorant fellow! Since that\'s the case, I\'ll make you regret appearing here!" With those words, a peculiar sound suddenly emanated from the old man\'s throat. The next moment, his mouth opened extraordinarily wide, the muscles at the corners of his mouth tearing apart, revealing crimson flesh.
Then, a horrifying scene unfolded before David\'s eyes. Countless spiders with strange patterns crawled out of the old man\'s mouth like a tide. Each spider was covered in a disgusting layer of mucus, and some even appeared rotten.
Quickly, around a hundred spiders gathered at the old man\'s feet, constantly wiping their sharp teeth and scrutinizing David and the others.
Seeing this, David couldn\'t help but feel a chill run down his spine. He finally understood why the old man emitted that strange stench of decay. It turned out that his body was infested with so many rotten spiders.
At the same time, David recalled the slight movement of the old man covering his mouth while coughing earlier. Presumably, he was afraid of revealing the presence of the parasitic spiders in his body, which would ruin his plan.
"This old man is truly sinister!" Duke looked at the densely packed rotten spiders on the ground, and his body hair stood on end.
"These are spiders in an extremely advanced stage of decay. They have strong venom and are adept at parasitizing the human body, reproducing by consuming the organs." Sophie looked at the decaying spiders and immediately spoke.
David nodded, then looked at the old man again. Now that his scheme had been exposed, David was no longer prepared to give him a chance to live. He stepped out of the void space, holding his Void Blades and Alloy Dagger, and charged towards the old man.
"Hahaha! I\'m an immortal survivor. Let my spiders have some fun with you first!" The old man\'s mouth dripped with blood as he looked at David with a ferocious expression. Then, the rotten spiders under his feet made a piercing sound and swarmed towards David.
David knew that to deal with the old man, he had to first deal with this group of decaying spiders. During his charge, he grabbed a high-explosive grenade from the warehouse. After pulling the pin, he threw high-explosive directly at the decaying spiders.
"Boom!" A loud explosion suddenly rang out, and the dust on the ground rose more than ten meters high. Using the Spatial Gate, David instantly appeared on a giant rock, observing the situation beneath the dust. As the dust dispersed slowly under the blowing wind, the scene before David made him furrow his brows.
He noticed that some of the decayed spiders, after being blown in half by the high-explosive grenade, actually regenerated into two separate spiders! The original hundred-plus decayed spiders instantly multiplied by more than twice. The expression on the old man\'s face became even more twisted, and the blood dripping from the corners of his mouth had stained the ground beneath him. With a smirk of amusement, he stared at David, lightly snapping his fingers in the air like a claw.
"Let my spiders indulge in slaughter!" Upon receiving the old man\'s command, the swarm of spiders once again surged towards David, their momentum stronger than before. The air was filled with a highly oppressive force.
Instead of evading, David plunged into the swarm of spiders and began the slaughter. The Space Blade and Alloy Dagger in his hands continuously carved arcs in the air, each accompanied by the sound of "crack" as the spiders shattered and the stench of their putrid blood. Numerous decayed spiders were cleaved in half by David\'s blades, only to painfully struggle on the ground for a moment before splitting into two complete entities and charging at David once more.
In that instant, David understood that a frontal assault wasn\'t a viable strategy; it would only lead to more and more decayed spiders. He looked towards the old man standing behind the swarm of spiders and deduced from what had transpired earlier that the old man possessed the ability to release the decaying spiders parasitically within his body. However, he lacked any offensive or defensive capabilities himself. Otherwise, he wouldn\'t have continuously maneuvered himself alongside the swarm of spiders to maintain a safe position. The best course of action was to eliminate this instigator, the old man himself, as doing so would naturally disperse the decayed spiders.
With this thought in mind, David shouted to Duke, "Deal with these spiders. I\'ll go meet that old man! Remember not to kill them, lure them into the ruins!"
Duke nodded in response and drew a combat knife he had prepared for such training, charging directly into the swarm of spiders. His extensive combat training allowed him to possess formidable close-quarters combat skills.
At the same time, David glanced at Charles, who was still tracing the origins of the hypnotic technique. He then swiftly entered the Spatial Gate and headed straight for the old man. When the old man saw David approaching, a flicker of fear flashed across his eyes. He opened his mouth again, and another wave of decayed spiders crawled out.
David hadn\'t expected that this man\'s body harbored so many decayed spiders. He put away his dual blades and picked up a wooden stick from the rubble nearby, rushing forward. The wooden stick whirled fiercely in David\'s hands, every strike precisely hitting the decayed spiders and sending them flying dozens of meters away with tremendous force. This not only denied the spiders the opportunity to divide but also cleared a path between him and the old man.
As David closed in, the old man realized the danger approaching. He hastily took two steps back and, with a malicious tone, said to David, "Lay a finger on me, and you will regret it! My daughter will be here soon, and none of you will survive!"
