CHAPTER 50: 48 CHAPTERS: ESCAPE

As the magic power within his body circulated, the air was drawn, and streams of airflow began to swirl upwards. The ionized air loitered in the vacuum, spreading silently and invisibly. The strong electric pressure field generated made the entire cave space suddenly become incredibly terrifying.

The spiders, naturally sensitive, sensed danger first, scattering in all directions, while four large spiders also began moving their limbs to retreat.

But in the next moment,

Boom!!!

The terrifying current instantly blossomed in the air; the horrific voltage pierced through the atmosphere, transforming into a giant electric snake that cracked and burst in the air. The blinding white light illuminated the entire cave, and streams of electricity leapt up, spreading in all directions as they hit the ground.

A deafening thunderous sound erupted on the flat ground, ringing in the ears of all present Beastmen, causing the entire cave to almost collapse, with small pebbles falling from above.

Crack, crack, crack!

At the moment the thunder struck down, it divided into hundreds of thousands of thin, wire-like electric arcs, jumping among the entire spider horde, which instantly turned into a sea of electric light.

The powerful voltage released intense light and heat in an instant. Under the horrific current, many small spiders were burnt to ashes in an instant, turned to dust. The four large spiders didn’t fare much better either, their bodies dozens of times larger than ordinary spiders attracted even more terrifying lightning. Arm-thick electric snakes wildly danced in the air, through their limbs, instantly charring their entire bodies, filling the cave space with a smell of burnt meat.

"Your, Your Highness..."

The Beastmen in the rear had already retreated under Austin’s command to avoid the spread of the Thunder Strike Technique, but the sight of the tens of thousands of spiders and those large spiders being charred and wiped out in an instant still left the Beastmen troops in awe.

Revering the strong is in the Beastmen’s nature.

If the loyalty of the clan’s Beastmen under the Blue Young Dragon had not already been full, this scene would likely enhance any Beastman’s submission considerably.

"Quickly tidy up here, bring those four large spiders back, and pay attention to collecting the weeds underground. Leave here as soon as you’re done."

Although Austin had wiped out the spider group in one go with the second Talent Magic, deep inside, he felt an unease about the darker depths of the cave. This group of spiders was definitely not the entire strength of the spider colony residing in this underground lair.

Moreover, the torches in the Beastmen’s hands were about to burn out.

Thus, under Austin’s command, some of the Beastmen quickly searched the ground for the white unnamed weeds growing in the corners, while others went to tidy up the corpses of the large spiders to prepare to carry them back.

Although Austin’s Thunder Strike Technique was powerful, it split into thousands upon thousands of electric arcs upon scattering. As a result, the large spiders were only half-cooked by the current, not charred to cinders. Soon, the Beastmen used several long spears and vines to make a simple rack, wrapping up the four large spiders.

And at this moment, Austin suddenly noticed that when a certain Beastman pulled up the unnamed "weeds" in the corner, some stones with a dim glow were exposed beneath the roots in the soil. Despite the dim light, Austin still noticed this peculiar trait.

"Wait a minute, take those glowing stones as well."

Initially unnoticed, the next moment the Blue Young Dragon realized.

In such an underground cave that hasn’t seen daylight for years, plants could grow, such an anomaly definitely held some divine feature, and these glowing stones were likely one of the reasons why these plants could grow in such dim conditions.

Moreover, when those stones were unearthed, Austin could clearly perceive that amidst the faint flickering of the stones’ glow, there seemed to be a ripple of magic.

Thus, a group of Beastmen frantically used long spears to dig away the accumulated soil on the ground, searching for those stones emitting a faint glow.

However, just when the Beastmen had dug up around twenty or thirty stones, suddenly dense rustling sounds emerged from the dark depths of the cave, akin to waves of the sea surging and covering.

"Not good, retreat immediately!"

The innate sharp perception of the Dragon Race made him feel a prickling sensation at this moment!

An overwhelming danger was emanating from the depths of the dark cave.

Although the Beastmen felt inexplicable, they instinctively followed the commands, and a crowd of Beastmen promptly retreated towards the cave entrance.

And at this time, the rustling sounds grew louder, under the faint firelight, as a dark mist surged out from the deep, black cave mouth, spreading in all directions along with a cyan poisonous gas fog.

Spiders!

Super large spiders bigger than the previous four large spiders!

Each almost the size of Austin, at the same time, several spiders no less formidable than the previous four large spiders began to emerge from the dark, guarding around the super large spider. Counting just the visible ones, there were more than a dozen, and deeper in, who knows how many more remained.

Simultaneously, ordinary-sized spiders gathered, forming a dense, overwhelming black tide, spreading out from the darkness, covering the ground and steep walls around, swiftly advancing towards the group of Beastmen.

"Go!"

Under Austin’s low angry roar, a group of Beastmen sprinted towards the direction of the cave entrance to escape.

Meanwhile, the Blue Young Dragon stepped hard on the ground, causing the cave to quake, tiny currents cracked from the dragon’s scales, spreading across the ground towards the surroundings, entering the spider swarm, continuously leaping within.

Electric Shock Paralysis!

After Austin had devoured the Ghost-headed Crocodile Leader and Blood Wolf Leader, the storage of magic power in the Blue Young Dragon increased sharply, greatly enhancing the power of the innate magic technique within, which previously could only release electric shock paralysis during close combat, now could conduct remote attacks through the ground’s conductivity.

Blocked by the electric current on the ground, the black tide-like spider swarm trembled and halted for a moment.

But at this moment, the cyan corrosive venomous fog behind spread out, instantly dissipating the currents. The spider swarm, which was originally stranded, once again quickly surged forward.

But luckily, with such an obstruction, the Beastmen had already pulled away a long distance from the spider swarm, and within moments, they had escaped from the cave.

And Austin followed closely behind, darting out as well.
