Chapter 111 of "Player Reload" starts with dramatic events: Spider Monsters were raining down like a torrential downpour.Li Cheng moved swiftly, his Mantis Arm... Discover what happens!
Spider Monsters were raining down like a torrential downpour.
Li Cheng moved swiftly, his Mantis Arm Bone Blade cutting in succession, slaying each Spider Monster that approached.
Stamping the ground, he leapt up, kicking forcefully against the roof of an exhibition electric car, and sprang onto the second floor.
The corridor before and behind him was blocked by Spider Monsters, and all he could hear were the sounds of their advancing footsteps, crunching, and the clatter of mouthparts colliding with limbs.
Whoosh!
A chilly wind swept over from behind.
Li Cheng dodged to the side, eluding a sneak attack from a Spider Monster, then stepped forward and crushed it.
Green, smelly fluid splashed in all directions, bursting onto expensive jackets in the nearby Armani store.
Another Spider Monster lunged towards him.
He extended ant needles from underneath his skin and gripped the Spider Monster’s head with one hand, pressing it against the metal railing.
Grinding it forward, he scraped and flattened it completely.
He hacked his way forward to the middle of the corridor, stepping on the handrails to leap out of the floor.
In mid-air, he used the Bone Blade to hook onto the side of the escalator and reached the third level.
As before, he proceeded to flip to the fourth and fifth floors.
Most spiders in nature spin webs to catch prey, but a few are exceptions.
Take jumping spiders, for example, specialized in stealth, pursuit, and leaping.
The three-pronged flower spider changes its body color to match the surroundings, scouting for pests branch by branch, leaf by leaf, blossom by blossom on cotton plants.
Wolf spiders are apex predators among spiders of the same size.
There are burrowing wolf spiders like Barr’s wolf spider and hunters like the Bear Spider, as well as those capable of walking on water like the Water Wolf Spider and the smaller Wolf Spider.
Possessing active hunting skills, they do not need to weave sticky spider webs and lay in wait for their prey.
The same goes for the Ink Spider.
Being a top predator, the web at the top of its nest had little stickiness, more like a steel mesh, making it particularly firm to step on.
We meet again.
The Ink Spider raised its abdomen, and colors slowly rippled across its body, once again activating its ability to pollute information.
Li Cheng abruptly shut his eyes and slightly lifted his shoulders.
The Long Spear Rhinoceros Beetle perched on his shoulder received the command and immediately flipped its elytra and buzzed into flight.
The newborn Rhino Beetle, which had hatched after absorbing two pieces of the Insect Lord Blood Amber, had explosive power and agility far beyond all other species in its Coleoptera order.
It performed barrel rolls in the air, easily avoiding the small Spider Monsters that lunged at it, ultimately crashing onto the back of the Ink Spider.
Like the human brain and surveillance cameras, the Long Spear Rhino Beetle was also susceptible to the Ink Spider’s information pollution ability.
In its Perception, the Ink Spider did not exist – there was only air ahead.
Therefore, Li Cheng did not command it to attack the Ink Spider but directed it towards a wounded area on the Ink Spider’s back, covered in spider silk.
The Long Spear Rhino Beetle is native to places like Guadeloupe Island and Dominica in Latin America, typically found in trees, and feeds on tender leaves, fruit, and tree sap.
During evolution, males developed exaggerated horn-like protrusions and powerful, clawed legs with backward spines to win over competitors during the mating season.
At this moment, the beetle’s horns and legs got entangled in the spider silk, held tightly, unable to shake off.
That’s enough.
The subtle connection with the Rhino Beetle allowed Li Cheng to sense its position.
He cracked open his eyes, his gaze unfocused, neither looking at nor thinking about anything related to the Ink Spider, with only one thought in his mind.
Attack in that direction.
With his thighs bent, muscles tense, he launched off powerfully like an arrow leaving the bow, flying toward the front, and landed at the entrance of the cinema on the sixth floor.
The latest Marvel film was being screened in the real-world cinema.
On the exterior wall was a standard, clichéd giant promotional poster featuring waist-up shots of a bunch of nameless superheroes.
Under the poster was a stylishly dressed group of men and women, holding 3D glasses and laughing as they walked into the corridor in
That Mr.
Daisaichi did save me twice, after all.
Once at school, once on the highway.
I can’t just leave him here.”
Yuan Zhixia gripped her gun with both hands, stood up from the ground with a small stature but filled with strong will and determination, and her gaze cold and steady, “Therefore, within my power, I will offer help.”
“I understand.”
Ye Jiaying took a deep breath.
She actually did not understand the specifics of the situation here, nor why “Daisaichi” suddenly turned back, and why Yuan Zhixia stayed.
However, her gaze swept across the nearby Spider Monster-faced Yang Ling, and she felt she could not just walk away.
Ye Jiaying grabbed the drone controller, flicked the joystick, and the drone slowly ascended, flying into the mall through the passageway.
The controller’s display screen immediately broadcasted the scene inside the mall—Li Cheng slashing and dodging like a madman, sometimes at empty space.
The Spider Monsters in the nest seemed to recognize that the drone was an external object and leaped at it aggressively.
Ye Jiaying maneuvered the joystick, controlling the drone to drift left and right, narrowly dodging the Spider Monster’s attacks.
Meanwhile, the pre-set heat tracking program automatically adjusted the drone’s attitude, aiming the camera at the most significant heat source on-site.
And the laser pointer stuck under the camera with tape also cast a green laser, illuminating that direction.
