Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Give it a Try
"Of course it’s true. Let’s go meet up with the others."
Long Ming clapped Jing Chuan on the shoulder and turned to head outside.
Jing Chuan quickly followed him.
Soon, the two of them returned to the entrance of the laboratory corridor.
Fu Fuqing, Jiang Heng, and the others were already standing there waiting.
"You guys were so fast. Did you find anything?"
Jing Chuan asked in surprise.
"We found some valuable items, but no other exits."
Jiang Heng shrugged helplessly.
Just as Jing Chuan was about to say something, the sound of footsteps echoed from the first corridor entrance.
Long Ming and the others turned to look. Luoxue walked out, clad in a suit of ice-blue Second Generation exoskeleton armor and holding a blue blade. A cold chill radiated from her.
"Luoxue, you found the Second Generation Armor?"
Jing Chuan and the others’ faces lit up when they saw her.
"Yes, but I didn’t find an exit,"
Luoxue replied calmly.
"This is a problem. We can’t just be trapped here forever, can we?"
Jiang Heng grew troubled at her words.
"Hmph. If worst comes to worst, we’ll fight our way out!"
Fu Fuqing snorted, speaking without a trace of fear.
"That’s not a bad idea,"
Long Ming agreed with a smile.
Luoxue and the others gave Long Ming a surprised look.
What Fu Fuqing had suggested wasn’t a good idea; it was a last resort, something you’d only do when completely cornered.
"I forgot to tell you. Jing Chuan found a special armory filled with ice grenades. They can help us deal with the Blood Breath Spiders outside."
Long Ming explained with a smile, seeing that Luoxue and the others were all staring at him.
"Take us to see it!"
Luoxue said immediately upon hearing Long Ming.
"Okay."
Long Ming and Jing Chuan then led Luoxue and the others down the corridor.
They soon arrived at the armory.
Jing Chuan excitedly explained to the group.
"These are ice grenades, and they work really well! Each one can create a large, continuous area of frost when thrown!"
Luoxue and the others each picked up an ice grenade to examine it.
Just then, Jiang Heng voiced his concerns.
"Will these things even work on the Blood Breath Spiders? After all, creatures like the Blood Breath Beasts have incredible vitality, and these ice grenades probably couldn’t even dent our own mechanical armor."
Jiang Heng stared at the grenades, his expression filled with doubt.
"I think they should work. The Aniska Empire wouldn’t have spent so much effort researching and producing these weapons if they weren’t effective."
Long Ming, on the other hand, was quite confident in the ice grenades.
"We’ll find out if they’re effective when we try them,"
Luoxue said calmly.
"Isn’t this a bit risky?"
Jiang Heng was still worried.
"We don’t have a choice. Go tell Shen Hu and the others to come move all of this!"
Luoxue’s gaze grew firm.
"Yes!"
Jiang Heng and the others immediately complied.
...
「A moment later.」
Long Ming and the others finished emptying the special armory. The entire group gathered at the sealed laboratory entrance, their nerves stretched to the breaking point.
Then, Luoxue raised her hand and gave a signal.
Shen Hu immediately stepped forward and wrenched the switch. He then shoved the sealed door open and quickly fell back!
Long Ming and the others raised their Assaulters, aiming at the open doorway.
But it was silent outside the door.
"That’s strange... Where are the Blood Breath Spiders?"
...
Jing Chuan and the others looked completely bewildered.
"Let’s go. Check it out!"
Luoxue led the group through the doorway and into the outer corridor.
Long Ming looked down the corridor.
The entire corridor was silent. There wasn’t a single Blood Breath Spider in sight.
Luoxue cautiously led Long Ming and the others forward.
Soon, they reached the end of the corridor.
Holding their breath, Long Ming and the others peeked out into the transit hall. The first thing they saw was the commander-level Blood Breath Spider and countless smaller ones gnawing on corpses.
"Damn it!"
Jing Chuan and the others’ eyes instantly turned red as they cursed under their breath.
"Everyone, with me!"
Luoxue’s expression hardened, and she charged out with the others right behind her.
Hearing the commotion, the commander-level Blood Breath Spider stopped its feast. It turned viciously toward Long Ming and the others, opened its maw, and let out a piercing, excited roar.
SWOOSH!
A black tide of smaller Blood Breath Spiders swarmed toward Long Ming and the team.
"Throw them!"
Led by Long Ming, they all pulled the pins on their ice grenades and hurled them forward.
BOOM~
The ice grenades slammed into the ground and exploded, freezing entire sections of the floor.
Instantly, countless smaller Blood Breath Spiders were frozen solid. A bone-chilling cold filled the air, and the temperature in the entire transit hall plummeted.
The unfrozen spiders stopped in their tracks and retreated like an ebbing tide.
"It really works!"
Mira and the others shouted in excitement.
ROOOAR—
The commander-level Blood Breath Spider let out a roar and charged toward Long Ming’s group.
"Perfect timing!"
Long Ming led the charge, grabbing an ice grenade and hurling it at the commander-level Blood Breath Spider.
BOOM!
The ice grenade hit the commander-level Blood Breath Spider and exploded, instantly freezing a large part of its body. Its movements slowed to a crawl.
Jing Chuan and the others raised their Assaulters and opened fire on the commander-level Blood Breath Spider.
BANG! BANG!
The bullets struck the frozen parts of the spider’s body, causing them to shatter and exposing the dark red tissue beneath.
ROAR!
The commander-level Blood Breath Spider recoiled in pain.
"It’s working so well! Quick, throw more!"
Overjoyed, Jing Chuan grabbed another ice grenade and threw it at the commander-level spider.
BOOM!
Another grenade hit the commander-level spider, and a large section of its body instantly froze over.
Luoxue drew her blue blade and blurred forward, charging the commander-level Blood Breath Spider.
The commander-level spider instinctively sensed the danger and struggled to lift a frozen leg-blade to strike at Luoxue.
Luoxue tapped her toes on the ground and leaped up to dodge the attack. She landed in front of the commander-level spider and brought her blade down in a vicious slash.
CRACK!
The commander-level Blood Breath Spider let out a piercing shriek as its entire body, like shattered glass, crumbled to pieces.
Luoxue then landed lightly on the ground.
"We got it!"
Zhihan and the others shouted in excitement.
Long Ming watched the commander-level Blood Breath Spider go down so easily and sighed with emotion. ’As expected,’ he thought, ’finding the right weakness makes things so much easier.’
Just then, Luoxue walked over to the group.
Fu Fuqing immediately asked,
"Luoxue, what’s next? Do we leave this place, or do we keep exploring the lab?"
Hearing this, Long Ming and the others all looked to Luoxue. ’This underground lab is huge,’ Long Ming thought. ’There must be more good stuff here.’
Luoxue mulled it over for a moment before speaking.
"It’s probably too late to head to the City Lord’s Mansion now anyway. Let’s not be in a rush to leave. We’ll search this place from top to bottom first."
"Great! Where do we start?"
The group replied happily.
