Chapter 46 The Whisperer - The Spider Queen
Chapter 46 The Whisperer - The Spider Queen
At this moment, Duan Yu's mind was filled with the obsession to complete Mission Two.
In the previous [Parasite Apocalypse] instance, he was too weak to fight the parasitic monsters, causing him to miss out on the reward for Mission 2, the [Body Modification Pill].
He later heard from his surviving friend that the magical pill could grant the user a special constitution, which made him so jealous that he couldn't sleep at night.
So he can't let this opportunity pass.
With a "snap," Duan Yu put down the binoculars, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
He had just clearly seen the woman's figure moving among the spiders.
That superhuman agility is definitely proof that he has taken body-modifying pills!
"This guy is strong, much stronger than those useless guys who were with him before..." Duan Yu muttered to himself, his fingers unconsciously tapping the binoculars.
"Her talent is amazing, and her combat ability is strong. If I could cooperate with her..." Duan Yu's thoughts had already drifted to the scene of receiving rewards after completing the mission, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
Thinking of the players who had followed him before, Duan Yu smiled regretfully.
"Weakness is the original sin. Don't blame me. It's just that in this world, it's survival of the fittest."
Duan Yu continued to observe.
When Duan Yu saw Su Jinjin's sharp gaze lock onto his location, he knew that she had discovered him.
Instead of hiding, he stood up and walked downstairs.
They quickly arrived around Su Jinjin.
Su Jinjin was also wary of Duan Yu's sudden appearance.
The Resume Eye has been activated.
Name: Duan Yu
[Level: lv1] (Level description added)
Gender: Male
[Professional Skill: Talent: Metallization: Allows the body to become metallic]
Weakness: Eyes
Su Jinjin's gaze swept quickly over Duan Yu, and the Eye of the Resume displayed the other party's information.
This undoubtedly confirms his player identity.
What's even more concerning is that just a few hours ago she clearly saw Duan Yu with several other players, but now he's all alone.
With a warm smile on his face, Duan Yu took a few steps closer to Su Jinjin: "Friend, it's too hard to fight alone. Why don't we cooperate?"
He pointed to the giant spider that Su Jinjin had just killed, "If the two of us work together, we can clear out these insects much faster."
Su Jinjin took a half step back without making a sound, maintaining a safe distance from the other party.
Her mind raced: her original plan was to slowly hunt down the spiders while searching for the Power Apple Tree.
Cooperating with this stranger would allow us to complete Task Two more quickly, but it would also expose our true intentions.
Moreover, something as valuable as the Power Apple Tree will definitely attract the covetous eyes of others.
so...
"No need," she refused directly. "I can handle it on my own."
Duan Yu's smile froze on his face, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his warm demeanor: "Don't be so formal! How long do you think you'll be able to kill your way through all this on your own?"
Su Jinjin was on guard.
This person is overly enthusiastic, and abnormally so.
Moreover, she clearly remembered that when Duan Yu was first teleported into the instance, at least four or five players followed him out.
Where have those people gone now?
Why is he the only one left?
Just as Su Jinjin was pondering, a violent tremor suddenly came from the ground, as if some enormous creature was approaching.
From the center of the garden in the distance, a suffocating pressure surged in like a tide, and the surrounding air became viscous.
Su Jinjin and Duan Yu turned their heads at the same time, their pupils suddenly contracting.
A bizarre half-human, half-spider monster is charging toward them at an astonishing speed!
The monster's upper body was that of a pale, corpse-like woman with long, loose silver hair, while its lower body was the abdomen of a giant, blood-red spider. Each time its eight spider legs, covered in barbs, landed, they produced a dull thud.
Upon seeing this suddenly appearing monster.
"What the hell is this thing?!" Duan Yu's face turned ashen, and his voice trembled.
Su Jinjin stared intently at the monster, the information she had previously obtained from Cheng Cheng flashing through her mind.
[The Insect Whisperer]
The product of the fusion of human and insect genes.
She quickly checked the other party's information:
Name: Spider Queen
[Gender: Female]
[Specialized Skills: Control of spider silk, carrion silk, venomous fangs, and destructive force]
Weakness: Fear of fire
Although the information looked simple, the overwhelming sense of oppression made Su Jinjin's hair stand on end.
This monster was not only powerful itself, but even more terrifying was the massive army of spiders that followed it, each one baring its fangs and claws, its compound eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.
Su Jinjin turned her head stiffly and gave Duan Yu a smile that looked more like a grimace: "Well... it's really tough going it alone. I agreed to your invitation earlier! Let's cooperate!"
Duan Yu: "..."
What a joke!
His expression at that moment was absolutely priceless.
First came shock, then fear, then anger, and finally deep contempt: "You've decided to cooperate now?!"
He pointed at the approaching swarm of spiders, his voice trembling: "Cooperate with whomever you want, I'm not going to play along!"
After saying that, he quickly ran away.
At this moment, Su Jinjin no longer cared about the power of the apple tree; she was lucky to have survived the overwhelming swarm of spiders and the terrifying spider queen.
But as long as she gets the chance, she will still get her hands on those fruits and vegetables.
Her sixth sense was right; this Duan Yu was indeed no pushover.
As the two raced through the narrow alley, Su Jinjin, thanks to the speed enhancement from the [Body Modification Pill], was far ahead.
Seeing that he couldn't catch up with her, a sinister glint flashed in Duan Yu's eyes.
He made up his mind: as long as he could outrun Su Jinjin and let the spider swarm deal with her first, he could take the opportunity to escape.
This was precisely the trick he used to kill those players.
He has experienced two more dungeons than other players, so he is much more experienced.
Therefore, if you understand that danger is approaching, you can increase your chances of safety by running faster than others.
"Go to hell!"
Duan Yu suddenly roared, his skin instantly turning metallic, and he crashed into Su Jinjin's back like an out-of-control truck.
But Su Jinjin was already wary of Duan Yu!
A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips. At the critical moment, she deftly sidestepped, not only perfectly avoiding the insidious impact but also blowing a pinkish "sweet fragrance" towards Duan Yu's face.
"What the hell?!"
Although Duan Yu was surprised, a smug grin appeared on his metallic face. "Useless! My defense is invincible!"
However, his expression froze the next second.
Su Jinjin's sweet fragrance doesn't work through skin contact; it acts directly on the respiratory system!
Even though his entire body is metalized, as long as he still needs to breathe, he cannot escape the control of this ability!
Duan Yu was unsurprisingly controlled by Su Jinjin.
"Turn around and fight the Spider Queen to the death," Su Jinjin coldly ordered.
Since she had attacked herself, she had no reason to let the other party off the hook.
Duan Yu's eyes were dazed. He turned around and charged towards the spider swarm and the spider queen, his entire body turning metallic.
