On the ground above the catacombs, the dense forest was the best hunting environment for the giant steel-spear spiders. Not only did adventurers have to defend against sneak attacks from underground caves, but they also had to guard against the attacks from the bushes and trees.

At this moment, due to Chen Yiming’s invasion of the catacombs, a large number of giant steel-spear spiders had crawled out of the holes in the ground.

“Hss hss hss…”

Pairs of eyes filled with killing intent appeared all over the forest.

From afar, it looked like dense black pearls were hanging from the bushes and branches.

Those who did not know about the creatures in the catacombs could easily mistake them for some kind of strange fruit. The consequences of rashly approaching them were unimaginable.

“Bang!”

A soldier in charge of monitoring the catacombs suddenly fired a shot.

This gunshot broke the peace between the forest and the military camp.

“What’s wrong? Why are there gunshots?”

“Could it be that the creatures from the catacombs have come out?”

“Don’t panic! I don’t believe those creatures can really withstand the dense bombardment and rush out. We can have a taste of roasted spider legs later.”

The soldiers, who had been tense all this time, put down what they were doing and turned to look in the direction of the forest.

Under the gaze of more than 100 military camps, a commotion broke out in the forest, causing a chain reaction that exposed the giant steel-spear spiders inside.

Other than the spider emperor, who was at the peak of the warrior realm, having modern technological weapons were enough to give the soldiers the courage to fight against these creatures.

After all, the giant steel-spear spiders were not flying creatures. If they wanted to attack the military base, they had to withstand the bombardment from the military.

“Tsk! Oh my god, why are there so many?”

The catacombs were different from the other places where mutant beasts gathered in Jiangnan province. Not only did they live in an underground cave environment, but they could also obtain food from the otherworld that was connected through the underground space-travel passage.

Therefore, there was no accurate answer to how far this species had evolved.

At this moment, the first wave of giant steel-spear spiders were at least 3000 to 5000 strong.

This number made the soldiers, who had been full of confidence, feel half guilty that the military bases were only half-built.

Just as the soldiers were feeling shocked, the officers’ orders came through the walkie-talkies. “Everyone, shoot immediately. Fire at will.”

Clearly, not only did the soldiers realize that the situation was not looking good, but the officers also had similar thoughts. As a result, they did not even have the time to test the waters before giving the order to go all out.

In the hundreds of military bases, the square formation formed by the troops seemed to have woken up at this moment.

The machine guns were connected to magazines and the muzzles were leveled. The tanks rotated and the barrels were raised. The cannons were loaded and aimed at the target. The rocket trucks were in position and their directions adjusted.

In addition, because they were facing creatures on the ground, dozens of armed helicopters were sent over from the surrounding cities. Their propellers spun as they flew into the air.

“Bang, bang, bang…”

In an extremely short period of time, hundreds of military troops opened fire at the same time.

Metallic bullets shot out from the countless guns, falling like the rain.

There was no need to aim at a specific target at all, because the guns were only used to deal with the giant steel-spear spiders below the warrior realm.

This type of giant steel-spear spiders also formed the bulk of the group.

At the same time, countless black dots streaked across the sky and descended to the ground, enveloping the forest on the surface of the catacombs.

These were fired from the cannons and the tanks. Each of these were special armor-piercing shells that were specially designed to deal with the protective internal force of the warrior realm.

Those with powerful internal force could withstand two hits, but these would all eventually be broken by the dense barrage of armor-piercing bullets.

Finally, rockets and missiles spewing flames shot out from the rocket trucks on the ground and the helicopters in the sky.

Rockets and missiles were the conventional most powerful weapons in a military formation. With the aid of the precise targeting devices installed on them, these were aimed straight at the larger giant steel-spear spiders.

As the human military troops opened fire, the giant steel-spear spiders that had crawled out of the ground were in a dilemma.

If they moved forward, they would have to withstand the bombardment from the military to leave the area around the catacombs. If they moved back, there was another God of Death that was wreaking havoc within the maze of catacombs.

This was really a difficult situation for the giant steel-spear spiders. They had been staying quietly underground and only occasionally entered the otherworld or crawled out of the ground to hunt. After that, they would return to their caves and fall into a deep sleep.

Unexpectedly, on this day, many of their fellow creatures had been suddenly killed by the powerful invader. They had just crawled out of the ground to avoid the invaders’ attacks when they were attacked by human technological weapons.

However, it was precisely this hesitation that caused the spiders to block each other’s paths when they wanted to retreat, causing the giant steel-spear spiders to fall into a situation where they had lost the initiative.

“Rumble…”

Countless flames exploded in the forest, raising an endless amount of soil into the air and causing thick smoke to envelope the entire area.

Scorching flames, sharp metal fragments, and the shockwaves caused by the explosions swept through the entire forest. Countless giant steel-spear spiders let out incomprehensible screams.

Each of their eight steel spear-like legs could cover their entire body and protect them from most attacks.

However, this kind of dense artillery attack was completely impossible for them. As long as there was a slight gap, they would be injured.

In particular, even adventurers rarely went to the catacombs, and they had not interacted with the human military for a long time. Most of the giant steel-spear spiders had not encountered any technological weapons before, so they did not know how to deal with such an attack.

“It’s settled!”

Seeing that the giant steel-spear spiders in the forest could not retreat back to the holes in the ground for the moment, the officers smiled.

Perhaps those at the warrior realm would be difficult to completely kill with one round of fire, but most of them were at the disciple realm and would definitely not be able to survive.

They could already imagine that under the second and third round of attacks, most of the giant steel-spear spiders would be wiped out.

Kill! Kill! Kill!

The soldiers who were firing continuously saw that they were about to win, and their morale was immediately boosted.

At this moment, the barrels of the guns and cannons were heating up, and they did not even bother to wipe the sweat off their bodies. All the soldiers were immersed in the thrill of killing the giant steel-spear spiders.

This was a form of fanaticism that came with being in a favorable situation. It allowed one to temporarily forget their fatigue and chase away the fear in their hearts.

And the situation turned out exactly like that.

The giant steel-spear spiders at the warrior realm were much fewer than those at the disciple realm.

As for the giant steel-spear spiders in the disciple realm, they still needed to rely on their bodies to withstand the bombardment of bullets and rockets.

Countless limbs were blown away. There were eight-legged steel spears, sharp poisonous fangs, body parts, and organs that produced the venom everywhere.

Although the venom was highly toxic, its level was ultimately too low. It would either burn to ashes in the sparks or splash onto the surrounding soil.

Only the giant steel-spear spiders which had mastered the transformation of their internal force could use their poison-based internal force to kill a large number of human military troops.

The human troops took advantage of the situation and attacked. After two more rounds of bombardment, the forest on the surface of the catacombs fell completely silent.

The surviving giant steel-spear spiders had all retreated into the holes in the ground. The forest had been completely destroyed, revealing the broken limbs of the giant steel-spear spiders all over the ground.

“We won!”

The cheers of countless soldiers erupted from various military camps.

The soldiers rarely encountered creatures like the giant steel-spear spiders that were unfamiliar with the attack methods of the human military.

If it was any other mutant beast gathering place, due to the constant conflict with humans, the creatures would definitely not have foolishly gathered together and waited for the bombardment.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

“Report. The giant steel-spear spiders that crawled out of the ground have been destroyed.”

The officers also reported the results of the battle to the command center at the back.

“Stay in formation and be on alert!”

Soon, the command center sent back an order not to spare any giant steel-spear spiders that still wanted to escape.

In order to deal with the giant steel-spear spiders in the catacombs, other than the cities around the sea of flowers and a few cities in the north, the three big shots in Jiangnan City had almost mobilized all the forces they could bring in from more than half of Jiangnan province.

Next, an endless stream of troops would arrive from all over. There would also be civilian martial arts experts in charge of the killing operation.

At this moment, from the situation with the first wave from the catacombs, not only did the soldiers believe that they would win, but the officers also believed it. Those at the command center also firmly believed it.

Everyone was unprecedentedly excited. The war at the catacombs was already leaning towards the human side.

Just as both sides turned peaceful again,

there was an endless stream of giant steel-spear spiders scurrying about in the catacombs. Due to the strong threat posed by Chen Yiming, they were crawling out from the underground passages to the caves near the surface.
