  Chameleon Spider, Violetwing Venomspider, and Mannequin Spiders.

  These three types of Tier 4 monsters were not considered strong and were not much of a threat to the Tier 4 players who had experience roaming the Mythical Battlefield as well. Even if there were twelve Tier 4 spiders monsters appearing at the same time in front of the seven Tier 4 experienced players, they did not seem to be a noteworthy threat.

  However, there were exceptions to everything!

  The best characteristic of these three types of spiders that were from Aricus Underground Ruins was that they had high mobility. Additionally, they had an ugly and ferocious look, which would impact the players negatively when they looked upon these creatures.

  Moreover, each of the different types of spiders had their own combat style and special abilities.

  The special ability of the Chameleon Spiders was similar to the Ambush skill of Bandit. They could blend into the surrounding environment and if they did not create much noise with fast movement speed, they could hardly be detected by people! When they were inside Aricus Underground Ruins, they were already very hard to be detected by people. Now that they were at outside, such ability was even more effective.

  Violetwing Venomspiders specialized in fast movements, poison sting attacks, and dive attacks. Inside the Aricus Underground Ruins, the attacks of the Venomspiders were often restricted due to the limited space. However, it was different outside.

  Mannequin Spiders were similar to Violetwing Venomspiders but they had higher attack speed and worst still, the combination of their ugly bodies and human faces were more affected the players more. Imagine if they leaped toward the face of a player—this would cause unimaginable terror.

  When the twelve Spiders emerged from the Twelve Frostramparts Formation, the seven Elementalists from Demon Faction were startled……

  One reason was the many Spiders that suddenly appeared. Another situation was due to what they had seen beyond the Twelve Frostramparts Formation. They saw the Cyclops Commander Galbis being stunned by the Shadowfox and Qin Ruo staring at them……

  They were deeply terrified at that moment!

  From the twelve Spiders, eight of them jumped up thirty meters to the sky and spread out swiftly. They then leaped on to the heads of the seven Elementalists from different directions.

  “Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!” The Chameleon Spiders also hastily rushed toward the seven Elementalists. Those Elementalists were already frightened right now and such action from the spiders caused them to be even more terrified……

  Behind the twelve spiders, the Green Goblin Spider and Howling Frost Bear who had defeated the summoned monsters were approaching them. This had attracted the attention of those Demon Faction players as well.

  “Damn it!”


  “Is this guy breeding spiders?”


  “Shit! There is a bear as well!”


  The group of players from Demon Faction was frustrated right now. They did not know how Qin Ruo did this. Was there some other player behind the Frostrampart or it was Qin Ruo who did all that?

  While they were wondering that, they were also shocked by Qin Ruo and they stopped their advancing thirty meters away from the Frostramparts Formation. They still need to be aware of those Violetwing Venomspiders and Mannequin Spiders above them. Although they knew that those spiders were only Tier 4 monsters, which should not pose too much of a threat, they were still unsure whether those monsters would suddenly gang up and attack one or two of the players.

  There were still invisible Chameleon Spiders lurking around……

  In addition, the huge Water-elemental Bear was approaching them! Together with the even uglier Green Goblin Spider.

  The seven Elementalists switched to defensive mode immediately.

  While the seven Elementalists were caught in a tough battle, the Electromancer who was the strongest in the party could only watch on helplessly. This was because the Electromancer together with a few warriors needed to protect the Radiant Priest from the Lizard Bandit in order to resurrect the Terramancer.

  “.……”


  Qin Ruo, who was in the Twelve Frostramparts Formation was feeling worried as well.

  The HP of the Cyclops Commander Galbis was left with only 180,000. Qin Ruo could not afford to make any mistakes right now. If he did, all the effort he put in previously would be in vain. Even he himself would have to die here as well, killed by those regular players who were not famous at all.

  How embarrassing was this?

  After the Lizard Bandit had defeated one of the seemingly strong Elementalists in the Demon Faction party, Qin Ruo immediately activated all the Sealed Mana Cores from his bag, which were given by Dinosaurcerer.

  The Sealed Mana Cores that were equivalent to 60,000 gold were used all at once!

  Although it was a little too much, this was still needed for such an important and crucial battle. What’s more, Qin Ruo still felt that this was not enough—far from enough. After Qin Ruo summoned the last of the Mannequin Spiders, he made a mental note that in future, he must receive all such gifts given by Dinosaurcerer. The more the better. If possible, he hoped that would be two more Sealed Mana Cores with Tier 4 Miniboss or higher.

  Otherwise, it was definitely insufficient for twelve Tier 4 monsters to handle seven Tier 4 Elementalists. After all, Qin Ruo only had a few seconds. After Galbis’ Stunned status disappears, he would not be able to dilute his focus anymore.

  Fortunately, there were eight Sealed Mana Cores with Flying-type monsters. This was sufficient to teach those Tier 4 players a good lesson for a few seconds!

  The first action the Howling Frost Bear took when it entered the attacking range was to use Raging Frost Roar on the two Elementalists from the Demon Faction.

  After all, a Level 50 monster should still be able to cause some threat to Tier 4 experienced players! If the attacking range is near, the threat could be deadly as well.

  Once again, the Howling Frost Bear became arrogant. It successfully attracted the attention of the two players.

  Under Qin Ruo’s command, two Mannequin Spiders descended from the sky and at the same time, they cast Darkmist to hide. This helped them to get rid of the target lock of the Elementalists.

  The Blind effect caused by Raging Frost Roar just disappeared, but the four Violetwing Venomspiders immediately descended from the sky.

  Shoop! Shoop!

  Rows of venomous needles were shot toward the two Elementalists who were already being taunted by the Howling Frost Bear.

  After a round of attacks, the Spiders kept themselves thirty meters away from the Elementalists. They got themselves into a safe position before the Elementalists counterattacked them.

  Some panicked voices rang, indicating that the defenses of the two Elementalist had dropped a lot.

  At the same time, two terrifying Mannequin Spiders leaped out from the Darkmist, each of them holding two pure Elemental Guns and shot at the same target mercilessly.

  Bang! Bang!

  Obviously, the attacks from the Mannequin Spiders were stronger.

  However, because of they had descended too near to the ground, they triggered a counterattack from the Elementalists of Demon Faction. A few Elementalists shot their long channeled spells to those two unlucky spiders.

  Two Mannequin Spiders handled the attacks of seven spells……

  Not so deadly!

  Those players from Demon Faction instantly felt the disadvantage of attacking blindly without order and in a group.

  Several Chameleon Spiders came from different directions rushed into their attacking range and activated their attacks immediately! Quick Strike! The distance of twenty meters had been pulled in close to zero just within two seconds.

  At the same time, the Howling Frost Bear, Green Goblin Spider, Violetwing Venomspiders, and Mannequin Spiders from different directions focused their attack power and attacked those two injured Elementalists.

  Especially for the Howling Frost Bear, it roared and rushed swiftly into the attacking range of the Elementalists. At the same time, it threw a few snowballs toward its enemies. The expression and actions of the Frost Bear reflected its pride!

  “Damn it!”


  “Dodge!”


  The trapped attacks formed by Qin Ruo this time consisted of Physical Attacks and long-ranged Magic Attacks. Moreover, it comprised of land and air attacks whereby the attacks could be from different directions. The momentum of the spiders drove the Elementalists to desperation. Compared to the initial moment when they cast the Magic Scrolls, this time their morale had dropped a lot when facing the Spiders and Frost Bear.

  At this moment, the advantages of the fourteen monsters versus seven Elementalists had emerged!

  Although the Elementalists from Demon Faction had blocked certain attacks already, both the Mannequin Spiders and Chameleon Spiders got near to two people from the party and successfully destroyed the defensive barriers of the two Elementalists!

  Finally, victims appeared!

  The Chameleon Spiders as well as Mannequin Spiders defeated the two Elementalists and trampled on them cruelly……

  From seven, they were now five people. Although the Spiders were damaged as well, the injuries were not critical. They could still cause high damage. The remaining Elementalists felt the pressure upon them had increased several times!

  Mental and defensive pressures plus the existing Howling Frost Bear—all these circumstances exhausted the remaining Elementalists tremendously……

  “Shit! Bunch of morons!”


  Obviously, the Electromancer did not have much experience commanding a party on the battlefield. Most of the time, it was the Terramancer who commanded the team. Nevertheless, when facing the chaotic attacks from the land and air, it would also be difficult to have a good strategic plan.

  The only option now was to hope that the Terramancer could be resurrected before the five Elementalists were complete wiped out. Maybe they could still win the battle after the Terramancer resurrected!

  Unfortunately……

  The invisible Lizard Bandit and the speedy Twin-headed Lizard rushed into the range of the Electromancer’s Elemental Perception.

  While the Electromancer was still trying to figure out why both the Lizard Bandit and the Twin Head Lizard rushed into the suicidal range, the Twin-headed Lizard opened its mouth and attacked the Radiant Priest, who was almost done casting Ressurection……

  An Earth Thorn suddenly thrust up from the ground and attacked the defenseless Radiant Priest!

  With an agonizing howl, the pitiful Radiant Priest fell to the ground, followed by three rays of Frost Bullets!

  The attack damage of the Level 50 Twin-headed Lizard was quite astounding.

  There were four magic attacks similar to the power of Tier 3 spell that killed the party’s only Radiant Priest in a second……

  What made the Electromancer most frustrated was that the Twin-head Lizard successfully assassinated its target and was able to flee effectively as well!

  At the same time, a Demon Faction Elementalist who was shouldering the attacks from numerous spiders monsters and the Howling Frost Bear, suddenly felt something pass behind him……

  The remaining defensive barrier and shield collapsed at the same time!

  A huge sticky net was thrown over……

  The hopeless survival of the five Elementalists finally came to an end!

  In the Demon Faction party were only thirteen players. Right now, eight Elementalists, one Bowmaster, and one Radiant Priest had died. The remaining were the Electromancer and the other two warriors. They then fled in a panic under the threat of the groups of monsters and a Tier 5 Bandit.
