Chapter 189 Discovery and Cooperation

"Li Yi, the battle is over, take a break." Lin Yue came over, panting slightly. She patted Li Yi on the shoulder and said, "How are you? Are you not injured?"

Li Yi's pupils lit up, his boiling blood still not calmed down, he frowned and said: "Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Lin Yue asked.

Li Yi said: "Although there are many spider monsters, none of them thought of running away during the fight with us. This is unreasonable. I have encountered spider monsters in the danger zone before. At that time, a cultivator named Brother Tao led us. Brother Tao found a spider man in an abandoned building and fought with it. In the end, the spider man was injured and escaped."

"This shows that these spider monsters are intelligent and know how to be afraid. They don't just rush in and kill without thinking."

"That's right. With the strength we have shown, these monsters will most likely avoid us and flee in all directions if they know they can't defeat us. Every creature has the instinct to survive." Lin Yue also frowned and thought: "Li Yi, do you mean that there is another reason why these spider monsters are so fearless and rushing towards us?"

"Yes, I guess these spider monsters are rushing towards us recklessly because they received some order. And there is only one reason why the spider monsters are worth their efforts."

Li Yi's eyes moved slightly and looked towards the end of the street.

"The mother of that spider monster is nearby."

At the end of the street, there was silence. There was no trace of the spider monster, only lifeless buildings.

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Your guess is very likely. If it is to protect the mother, those spider monsters will fight desperately, just like an ant colony. The queen ant is the most important, because without the queen ant, the ant colony will not be able to reproduce and grow, and will soon decline and die."

"Engineer Zheng, abandon the vehicle and follow me deeper into the old city. I feel that today is an opportunity. If we are lucky, we can hunt down the mother spider." Li Yi said later.

"Now? If I don't take a break, all the bullets in my sniper rifle will be used up, and Yuan Mingjin still has two bullets in his hand." Engineer Zheng said.

Li Yi turned his hand and interrupted him: "These Spider-Men are just risking their lives to delay us and waste our time. If we rest, it will be impossible for us to find the trace of the mother spider again. Engineer Zheng, didn't you ask me to give it a try? Now is the chance."

"Okay, since that's what you said, let's keep moving forward. Two bullets are enough. If we seize the opportunity to fire the key shot, we can successfully complete this support mission." Engineer Zheng nodded immediately.

Li Yi immediately returned to the car, then took out another bottle of golden nutrient solution and drank it all.

After a fierce battle, he was hungry again.

However, after drinking a bottle of nutrient solution, the practitioner's powerful absorption ability came into play, his physical strength was recovering rapidly, and the qi and blood consumed when punching before were also continuously replenished.

"Walk."

Li Yi did not hesitate and continued to move forward.

Seeing this, everyone did not waste time and immediately continued on their journey.

They crossed the spider-strewn street and continued along the dead highway.

Strange to say.

Apart from that section of road with the spider monster, the rest of the road was surprisingly safe. There was no danger nearby and no trace of the spider monster was seen. This was very unreasonable.

"It seems that the fight just now has attracted all the spider monsters nearby. Now that we have cleared them out, this old city area has completely regained its former safety." Lin Yue's eyes moved slightly. She paid attention to the movements around her because she was a master of spiritual perception and was the most perceptive.

But even so, she didn't sense any danger.

"The more this happens, the more abnormal it becomes. And judging from the route Spider-Man took just now, if we just keep moving forward, we might be able to make some discoveries," said Li Yi.

Yuan Mingjin held the sniper rifle and whispered, "Li Yi, I only have two bullets. If the mission is not over after two shots, then I will be useless."

"I understand. Don't worry, just follow my instructions. If it doesn't work, I will retreat." Li Yi gestured and said.

Yuan Mingjin nodded and said no more.

It's not that he was afraid, but he had to explain his own situation to Li Yi in time to avoid misjudging the team's combat effectiveness and causing unnecessary losses.

We moved forward a little further.

At this time, Li Yi saw a bloody scene at the intersection of a street. There were some broken bodies scattered on the ground. It seemed that a battle had taken place here not long ago, and someone had met with misfortune and died here.

But at this time.

Lin Yue suddenly grabbed Li Yi and stopped. She looked very serious and signaled everyone to keep quiet.

Everyone stopped.

Li Yi looked at Lin Yue.

Lin Yue didn't say anything, but just pointed to the roof of a residential building in front.

At this moment everyone looked over.

However, I saw a pale arm hanging down from the roof of the not-so-tall residential building. It seemed to be a part of a spider monster, but the arm was too huge. If the owner of this arm was also a spider monster, then its size must be amazing.

However, due to the angle, they could only see one arm, but what was certain was that the monster seemed to be lying on the roof to rest and did not notice their arrival.

"It's the white mother spider." Engineer Zheng became a little excited.

Yuan Mingjin also took a deep breath, immediately pulled the bolt to load the gun, and subconsciously aimed forward.

Li Yi waved his hand and stopped Yuan Mingjin. "Shooting at this angle can only break one of the opponent's arms, but it won't cause fatal injuries. Zheng Gongni and Yuan Mingjin go to a nearby building to find a sniper position. Be quick. Lin Yue and I will work together to try to stop that thing and give you a chance to shoot."

"It's too dangerous for you to do this. A spider monster of that size is no different from a supernatural creature." Yuan Mingjin whispered.

"It would be fine if we haven't encountered it, but if we do, how can we not try it? You just need to be responsible for shooting. If two bullets fail to kill this thing, retreat immediately. It is not a good choice to fight head-on with a supernatural creature of this size." Li Yi said.

"Okay, then you guys be careful." Yuan Mingjin nodded, and then took Zheng Gong and rushed quickly towards the tallest building nearby.

They must occupy the commanding heights as quickly as possible and find sniper points.

Li Yi and Lin Yue also took action. They moved towards the location of the mother spider. They were very careful along the way, trying not to make any noise so as not to alert the monster and let it run away again.

The terrain of the old city is complex. Although this monster is big, it is still very difficult to find it if it really hides.

But just when the few people's plans were going on normally.

Another group of people appeared in Li Yi's sight. The leader was Gu Mengping and several unfamiliar foreign combatants. They were covered in blood, some from monsters and some from their own. They seemed to have experienced a fight with a group of Spider-Men, and the losses were quite serious. Because Li Yi did not see any investigators in the team, it meant that their investigators had died in the previous attack.

"Li Yi?" Gu Mengping also saw Li Yi and Lin Yue. He wanted to say hello, but soon realized something was wrong.

He immediately looked in the direction Li Yi and others were heading.

Then his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Obviously, Gu Mengping also saw the figure of the huge Spider-man lying on the roof.

At this moment, Gu Mengping showed a look of surprise.

In order to complete the task and eliminate the spider monsters in the old city, his team had been fighting here for five days. Unexpectedly, they were lucky today and found the mother spider. If they could kill it successfully, then this difficult task would be accomplished, and by then it would be a sure thing for him to get a place in the Golden Academy.

But then Gu Mengping looked at Li Yi and Lin Yue again.

They were the first to discover the mother spider, so it would be a bad idea for them to take action at this time.

Li Yi and Lin Yue were also staring at Gu Mengping at this moment. Obviously, the two did not expect that other foreign combatants would suddenly appear at this critical moment when they were about to take action. Although everyone was a colleague, now that the Investigation Bureau had released the quota for the Golden Academy, they were in competition with each other.

After a fierce battle, they finally found the mother spider, so of course they would not give it up.

This is not the time to be humble.

Becoming a cross-border person is related to everyone's future life.

"Gu Mengping, we found this thing first. According to the rules, we should take action first. If our action fails, you can take action later." Lin Yue stared at Gu Mengping and directly expressed his thoughts.

That's fair enough.

There will be no contradictions or conflicts.

But the prerequisite is that Gu Mengping will agree.

However, Gu Mengping shook his head and refused. "I have been working on this mission for five days. It was very hard and I lost an investigator. I don't want to fail in the end. How about this? Let's work together and whoever succeeds in hunting it down will get it. This way, we won't hurt the relationship. How do you think? This thing is not as easy to kill as you think. If we don't work together, it will be bad for everyone if something goes wrong."

There seemed to be nothing wrong with his proposal.

Lin Yue frowned and wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Li Yi.

"Okay, let's act together. Whoever kills this thing will get the credit."

"That's great, Li Yi. Happy cooperation."

Gu Mengping laughed. He didn't expect Li Yi to agree so readily. But since the words had been spoken, he would not be polite at all. He then waved his hand and the sniper rifles in the team immediately ran towards the nearest tall building.

Lin Yue whispered at this moment: "Li Yi, you shouldn't have agreed to him. We found this thing first."

"I know, but Sister Lin, you have to understand that this thing is very dangerous. We are not sure that we can kill it. Right now, joining forces is the best outcome. It not only prevents us from taking all the risks, but also avoids conflicts between the two sides. And I also hope that someone can help me test the waters." Li Yi's eyes moved slightly.

"I see." Lin Yue nodded, and understood Li Yi's thoughts.

No one knows how powerful the mother spider is. It would be best if someone goes to test it, but it is very risky for people who try, and there is a high possibility of something going wrong.

"But I'm worried about giving Gu Mengping a chance. If he succeeds in completing the task, our trip will be in vain." Lin Yue expressed her concerns at this moment.

Li Yi said: "Gu Mengping's presence has reduced the danger for us. Of course, we have to pay some price, but his chances of success are not very high, because he is the only spiritual master and a sniper rifle in his team, while we have two snipers and two spiritual masters in our team."

"Two spiritual perception masters?" Lin Yue blinked: "When did you become spiritual perception?"

Li Yi said: "In a real fight, my combat power is my spiritual perception. Although I can't compare to the top ones like Yang Yilong, I can still rival an average spiritual perception."

He wasn't bragging.

If he really fights, he can fully unleash the power of his spiritual perception.

"Hearing what you said, I can accept your proposal just now." Lin Yue nodded and said, "Then give Gu Mengping a chance, let him test the waters first, and then we will find an opportunity to take action."

"The other party has taken action, let's move too."

Suddenly, Li Yi saw Gu Mengping and his gang suddenly scatter, and then quickly approach the mother spider.

Li Yi didn't want to lag behind, so he took action immediately.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yue stopped talking and became alert to everything around her, ready to take action at any time.

"Gu Mengping, Li Yi and Lin Yue have also taken action. Be careful not to be overtaken by them." A foreign combatant said at this moment.

Gu Mengping said, "We can't help it. Once the support signal is sent out, other investigators will naturally come. There are too many spider monsters in the old city, which has consumed a lot of our time. If we don't ask for help, we will have to continue to waste time here, and we won't be able to complete a single mission."

"Fortunately, it's not Taoist Priest Peter who came this time, otherwise we wouldn't even be qualified to compete. He is a master of spiritual perception and a top sniper. He is the only one in the entire Tianchang City. But this Lin Yue is not simple either. He killed Wei Bin as soon as he broke through, mastered boxing, and passed the test of the bone mural. Alas, these people are all like monsters. It's really difficult to deal with them."

As he spoke, he felt upset and stopped talking.

soon.

The two teams quickly arrived at the foot of the building.

But as soon as they approached, Spider-Men immediately crawled out from the surrounding residential buildings, as if they had discovered them. They then made strange noises, as if sending some kind of signal.

not good!

Such a change immediately caused everyone's face to change drastically.

They thought that all the spider monsters nearby had been killed, but they didn't expect there were still some hidden.

There were only a few hidden spider monsters, and they were very small in size. They did not look like they were meant for fighting, but seemed to be specially raised to serve as sentinels. It was precisely because these spider monsters were not dangerous at all that the practitioners did not notice them. They were like ants on the roadside, which were subconsciously ignored by them.
