Find a Troubled Girl after leaving the Guild-Chapter 349 - 202: Whiteflower Wasp

The webs of the Soul devouring Spider were layered with a hint of crystal glow, the gray nets blended with the rocks in the dimness, and the brilliance created by the thick layers of webs formed a scene of a starry night sky.

These webs could count as a kind of material, stacking them results in something light yet sturdy in parts, but the spectacle brought not a feeling of admiration for beauty, but rather triggered a blood-deep, instinctual revulsion.

Because right next to the webs were dried, hardened spider heads, aligned and cut neatly, hung across all the webs like trophies on display, the dense crystalline eyes of the spider heads were enough to make all bodily senses surge.

Li Ang caught the unstable Andasu, steadying her against the wall, while Zoe and Dorothy, expressionless, braced themselves for battle, having stopped all thinking.

Even ALulu, with her skin-like milk, formed fine goosebumps, seeing her comrades’ condition, she knew she had to defend them, preparing defenses at the front.

Their condition was not suited for high-pressure combat, and Li Ang understood that this intimidation was exactly the effect that the Demon ahead desired, its intelligence far exceeding ordinary creatures.

The webs began vibrating layer by layer, the spider heads on them swayed like waves, and even from a dozen meters away, one’s entire skin felt as if fine hairs and sharp thorns were plowing through.

Andasu immediately gagged, trembling as she crouched against the wall.

The intertwined webs were forcefully parted by two sharp insect claws, as a large mutated insect species Demon, about four to five meters long, emerged halfway out.

This was its lair, composed of countless Soul devouring Spider webs that died within the cave, it was long familiar with how to launch surprise attacks from its nest.

As its translucent membrane wings withdrew from the webs, they began vibrating at high speed, forming a blurry phantom, the wind they stirred caused the surface of the nest’s spider heads to surge once more, and its entire body swiftly ascended to the cave’s ceiling.

The group could barely catch its silhouette, noticing a body structure similar to a hornet’s, but with an overall black and white pattern, likely naming it as such.

During its rapid movements, only the dark glow on its sharp tail sting was consistently visible, whether due to the high concentration of venom or its constant direction towards the group.

This creature’s true form was now revealed, justifying the system’s flagging of this as a "high-risk area."

The Whiteflower Wasp was as swift as a phantom, still looking for a gap in the group’s defenses, its claws and mandibles created a piercing screech as they rubbed together, and large Soul devouring Spiders began to emerge from corners.

These Soul devouring Spiders were fully mature, presumably selected by the Whiteflower Wasp to specifically protect it.

Li Ang raised a ball of flame to fully illuminate the cave, revealing the densely packed spider eggs behind the spiders, both a reserve food supply for the Whiteflower Wasp and potential minions.

Accompanying the Soul devouring Spiders were countless small spiders, swarming towards the group like a carpet.

Zoe, her face filled with horror, entered the Celestial Maiden Stance, her Wind Breath Sword swinging out with all her might as she floated, wrapped in floating ribbons.

The Light of the Star Soul from the Thunderstorm Feathered Serpent unleashed bolts of lightning, cracking the little spiders, temporarily halting the advance of the larger ones.

Behind Dorothy, Flower Vines grew wildly, quickly twisting into thick bundles, with the Dragon Vine entwining the Dragon Sealing Staff and Star Crystal Vine coiling around the Golden Sand Staff, she wielded her Arcane Staff, unleashing Dragon Lightning, Golden Sand Mist, and Arcane Missiles, the light of magic enveloping the incoming enemies.

The two of them unleashed relentless attacks, not wanting the spiders to get any closer.

ALulu, with shield in one hand and Great Sword in the other, swept the spiders back.

Seeing their coordinated efforts, Li Ang manipulated Earth Rock to enclose the truly immobilized Andasu in fear, protecting her from the rearward-approaching spiders, while he concentrated on facing off against the Whiteflower Wasp.

This creature could also be tamed by him.

An egg sac or larvae, perhaps deep within its lair they could be found. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

If neither Salamander nor Fairy Dragon sparked much interest in Li Ang, the Whiteflower Wasp was quite the opposite.

Such a creature, in terms of its size, is ideal for carrying one or two people in flight, and as a Mutated Insect Species Demon akin to bees, it possesses the ability for aerial hovering and vertical flight direction changes.

This trait is extremely useful, far surpassing just flight speed.

This ability allows for unexpected directional changes in combat, enabling surprises.

Comparatively, it’s like how Wendes executes the Storm Cavalry Assault in tandem with a Griffin and wind attribute equipment; due to the Griffin’s directional angle limitations, its attacks inevitably have blind spots.
