Xiao Xun narrowed his eyes, suddenly shouting, "Vincent, you have full command here!" Then he said to Bai Yang behind him, "Let's go, catch up with him."
He absolutely couldn't let him escape!
Bai Yang's hand flashed with orange light, and Dukar, Scorpius, Virgo, and Pisces followed Xiao Xun to the spot where the spider had just fled.
"Dukar, if you have any trump cards left, don't hold back, their commander is escaping!" Xiao Xun turned his head and roared, "We'll fight our way out!"
"Alright, I'll listen to you!"
Dukar agreed, then took a deep breath, his entire face turning red, "For the Kingdom of Zhi Yue, Aaaahhh!"
He was surrounded by three fireballs, which he smashed downwards. The immense power of the flames instantly blasted all the ghouls in every direction into fragments!
From a distance, Xiao Xun saw the giant spider completely covered in steel armor, its size almost as large as an elephant, making it impossible to hide.
Trying to run? A joke, it couldn't escape. Although it had eight legs, its armor was too heavy, making it impossible to run fast.
Seeing Xiao Xun charging towards him, the cornered giant spider could only fight back!
It suddenly turned, raising its front half, and its four front legs smashed down fiercely!
Xiao Xun immediately rolled to the side, while Dukar, who was too slow to react, was sent flying into the sky by a massive stone pillar!
Fortunately, Bai Yang flashed and caught Dukar, who was falling rapidly. He then spun, released the momentum, and threw him to the side. This move didn't cause any serious harm to the fallen prince, but being thrown to the ground and disoriented was unavoidable.
Xiao Xun, who had already gotten to his feet, charged forward again, his King's Star already swung towards the opponent.
*Bang*—!
The giant spider's front limbs smashed down again, but this time Xiao Xun blocked it with the King's Star!
At this moment, the giant spider's massive body was pressing down on Xiao Xun. Xiao Xun kept lowering his body, about to be crushed into a pulp, when Pisces threw two large balloons filled with an unknown liquid onto the giant spider. The steel armor instantly dissolved.
Xiao Xun felt the crushing force instantly decrease significantly. He roared and lifted the entire body of the giant spider, flipping it backward to fall over!
The overturned giant spider's eight legs thrashed about. Xiao Xun didn't take the opportunity to finish it off but retreated to Dukar's side, asking with concern, "Are you alright?"
Dukar shook his head, took Xiao Xun's outstretched hand, and stood up, "I'm fine, Your Highness Svein, quickly finish him off!"
On the other side, the giant spider struggled to turn over. Surprisingly, after listening to Vincent, Xiao Xun did not immediately pursue to finish it off. He looked at the spider somewhat uncharacteristically, his expression complex.
Xiao Xun shouted at the giant spider, "Human-faced giant spider, I'll give you a chance. Leave the King of Pride and surrender to me. I can let you live."
This shout made Dukar tremble all over!
"Your Highness, are you crazy?" Vincent yelled, "It's the Scourge Legion! Undead!"
Xiao Xun ignored him, staring intently at the human-faced giant spider.
He knew the hope was slim, but he had to try.
The human-faced giant spider also stopped its advance. It couldn't understand why he was doing this, but it could feel the goodwill in his words.
"Thank you for your kindness, human." Its two mandibles quivered, and a hoarse voice emerged from within, "Only, my soul already belongs to His Majesty, the King of Pride!"
"What if I can help you get your soul back?" Xiao Xun stared at him intently.
"You are a living being," the human-faced giant spider said. "I am undead."
"Kustain Ice is already destroyed. I am now a servant of the King of Pride. So now there are only two paths: you kill me, or I kill you."
What a pity, some things are simply not meant to be.
The human-faced giant spider charged forward.
Xiao Xun rushed forward, and as he approached the human-faced giant spider, he suddenly leaned back, lying flat on the ground. Holding his sword, he slid under the human-faced giant spider's body with the momentum of his charge!
Green blood gushed down, and the giant spider's massive body fell to the ground powerlessly.
He stood up, patted the dirt and snow off his body, turned around, and looked at the mountain-like human-faced giant spider collapsed on the ground, unable to suppress his emotions.
"Let's go back!"
Dukar trotted over, his brows furrowed, as if he had something to say.
"Svein, what was wrong with you just now? Have you really become arrogant? Because a Sasa defected to you, you think you can take everyone as your subordinate?!"
As he spoke, his tone even carried some anger: "This mindset is absolutely unacceptable, Svein! It's good to have confidence in yourself, but blind confidence is arrogance!"
"Especially since they are undead, evil undead!"
"I know, I know."
Xiao Xun frowned as he listened but soon relaxed, saying softly, "I just wanted to see if these undead could betray that King of Pride."
"It seems I was wrong."
Dukar's brows relaxed but then furrowed again. He stared at him, thoughtfully pondering something with concern. Although Xiao Xun's performance was still as strong, wise, insightful, and decisive as ever, he always felt a kind of unspeakable melancholy hanging over him.
It started from when that giant spider died.
"Your Highness Svein..."
Dukar thought he was disheartened and wondered if he should say something to comfort him, but Xiao Xun interrupted, "Let me be quiet for a while."
Dukar fell silent.
At this moment, Xiao Xun turned to look at Dukar, and Vincent also felt something and turned to look at him.
He saw Xiao Xun smile, which made Dukar even more bewildered.
At this moment, Xiao Xun felt more self-mockery.
I'm really greedy... I actually wanted the human-faced giant spider to defect to my command... What a fanciful wish!
Bai Yang used spatial magic to bring everyone back to the camp.
At this moment, at the enemy's main camp.
"Anmie, the crypt lord is dead."
A low voice came from the throne. Upon hearing the news, Anmie stood up, his gaze directed towards the distant south, "Understood."
An inexplicable rage burned within him, making him wish he could personally take Xiao Xun's head and make him and his entire army his most loyal servants!
But he knew he couldn't.
Pondering all that Xiao Xun had shown recently, Anmie became increasingly restless.
He had originally planned to drown this small army with a sea of undead, but Xiao Xun seemed to accurately locate the commanders of the undead armies every time and aggressively charge forward to swiftly defeat them.
