Chapter 143 - 140: Escape from Yan City
The gas tank was thrown into the pile of human cocoons, and the slowly emanating odor started to agitate the female queen above, her eight legs beginning to move erratically.
As Su Mo ducked under a swinging leg, Lu Chen grabbed her and they both started running towards the door. She glanced at the countdown timer above his head and said, "Only one minute left!"
In the control room, the restlessness of the female queen caused the male spiders, originally busy weaving cocoons, to back away rapidly, and the male spiders from several passages quickly converged towards them.
"Enough," Lu Chen turned and quickly shot several Ice Blades from his hand, all of which stabbed directly into the gas tank.
As the two of them backed out, they were confronted by a swarm of male spiders.
Lu Chen hugged Su Mo and threw themselves to the ground; the gas tank, reacting swiftly with the air, exploded with a bang, triggering a chain reaction that destroyed the control room’s equipment.
He covered his back with a layer of ice, and a Fire Dragon surged forth from the control room, scorching the male spiders to ashes just inches away.
The struggling female queen in the control room, her legs flailing and body ablaze, fell from above to the ground. Her massive abdomen cracked open, and countless spiderlings emerged only to be scorched clean by the fire.
The entire tunnel began to totter on the brink of collapse. Knowing that the gas pipes were above the electrical wires, Lu Chen quickly pulled up Su Mo and charged at the approaching spiders, whose shape simulation had worn off.
Su Mo glanced at his back. Not a hair was harmed beneath his damp clothes. She set her mind at ease, took out her Tang Blade, sipped some Jasmine Tea, and slashed at the leading spider.
