Chapter 99: Chapter 99: You Call This a Minor Monster?
"Am I that superficial? I was clearly looking at the way their perky butt moves when they walk! So elegant~"
Some LSP shamelessly retorted without a hint of embarrassment.
"Ha, do you think I believe that?"
Shen Yurou, furious, collapsed onto the couch, rolling her eyes with a forced smile.
"Psh, you're just jealous. Sooner or later, messing with mechanics is going to turn your pecs into a man's."
Someone sneakily glanced at the snowy white rabbits and was utterly baffled.
Why was it that someone who tinkered with a small furnace and screws every day, or toyed with gunpowder, still had flawless skin? Could this be what people call natural beauty?
"You asshole!"
Outraged, Shen Yurou grabbed a bomb and hurled it at Zi Liyuan.
"Damn it, murdering your boss, you're trying to overthrow the throne here."
Dodging the bomb with a slight turn of his head, Zi Liyuan collapsed onto another sofa.
"The real battle is about to start. Take care of yourself, and it's best to stay far away. If you get the chance, take out Jiang Tianyou for me."
Even knowing that officials would resurrect the contestants after death, Zi Liyuan still wanted to kill that bastard Jiang Tianyou.
However, with a major battle close at hand, clearing the field was his priority, leaving no time to deal with that matter.
"Hmph, I'll kill him!"
Turning examinees into human pigs showed how twisted the psyche of this person was—a man like that had to be killed to appease public anger!
Unfortunately, they had no power to kill that bastard in real life for now, letting the pervert escape this time.
...
Martial exam instance, third stage, seventh day.
Inside the blood-red barrier, changes occurred again, a vast expanse of floating blood lakes shrouded the entire central BOSS area, dyeing everything in a hue of blood.
"It's begun. Let's all resist the monster uprising and be ready to strike at any moment."
Ying Xueji ordered while mobilizing the various thousand-person teams she had formed.
"Roarrr~"
Brutal roars reverberated from within the swathes of blood light.
Soon, the central area's BOSSes, under some force's guidance, began furiously attacking the contestants' strongholds.
As more and more BOSSes gathered, they soon turned into a torrent, crashing into the formations created by the numerous contestants with the momentum of thunder.
Blood rained down, monsters and contestants intertwined, commencing a mode of frenzied slaughter.
Earthen yellow circular barriers sprang up, one by one, each centered around a thousand-person team, sheltering the contestants, keeping the blood rain from touching them.
"So many BOSSes, and all of them enhanced, the weakest being at least at the level of a level 40 rare BOSS."
Watching the countless frenzied BOSSes, Zi Liyuan sighed and kept an eye on the blood-red giant portal that had appeared to his left front.
"Slaughter, reap, keke... Human souls are so sweet. Become one with the Queen! Keke..."
The Spider Queen, her massive body, emerged bit by bit from the blood-red portal.
A terrifying spider-body emitting a sinister and seductive aura, and a human upper form that let out unending low moans, like breaths of air, like songs of joy, dreamlike, enticing the deepest passions and desires.
The monsters, already tainted by the blood rain, grew even wilder at this moment, their bodies swelling, with their damage increasing by a tenth.
This sudden turn of events dramatically increased the pressure on the examinees at the front, causing them to continuously contract their formation.
"Damn, the Spider Queen can summon too?"
The Evil God's murmur kept chanting in the field, and then Zi Liyuan saw dozens of silvery-white threads hanging down from the suspended Blood Lake in the sky, followed by the descent of numerous humanoid Spider Monsters along the threads from the Blood Lake.
"What else? Offering you such a great advantage is specifically to have you clean up the minions!"
Standing beside Zi Liyuan, Li Fengwen tightened his grip on the panda Tuanzi, preventing the creature from tearing at his already sparse hair.
"You call these things minions?!"
The dozens of terrifying spider giants, each as tall as a two-story building and all Second Order LV41~LV50 Lord Bosses—was he there to clear them or to be cleared?
"Compared to the Spider Queen, don't they count as lesser beings?"
No matter how one looked at Li Fengwen's face, it exuded sleaziness, especially his gaze, which was fixed on the Spider Queen's ferociously large and supremely evil eyes.
"Mmm, indeed lesser, it's just that the blood-colored fuzz blocking the view is a bit distracting for admiring."
A bunch of LSP's eyes swept up and down, back and forth across the upper body of the Spider Queen.
"The females are all femme fatales, and the males are all misshapen; say, does the Evil God Rose Spider Queen have some issues with her aesthetic sense?"
Stroking his chin, he scanned the dozens of humanoid Spider Monsters, male and female—the females charming beyond measure, astonishing in their beauty, and the males grotesque and terrifying, like evil spirits escaped from hell.
"That, you might be able to ask the Rose Spider Queen herself after you enter the Sea of Realms."
"Forget it, I'll leave this opportunity to meet the Evil God to someone like you, who doesn't care for meat or veggies."
Go to meet the Evil God in person, as if he wasn't dying quickly enough?
Zi Liyuan rolled his eyes and then his expression turned serious.
"Corpse Explosion Technique is ineffective against humanoid Spider Monsters, are you sure the Formation you've drawn in advance can suppress their passive resistance and make Corpse Explosion Technique inflict damage on them?"
With millions of hit points, Zi Liyuan was confident facing two Lord Bosses, but now there were dozens of them in the field!
"Of course! We wouldn't dare do this if we weren't sure."
Their lives were far too precious; how would they dare such a thing without confidence?
Any small mistake, and they would become sinners of the entire empire, and even the most powerful backing wouldn't be able to protect them.
"Zi Liyuan, the humanoid Spider Monsters are about to breach the Formation, get ready to use Corpse Explosion Technique!"
"Wait, where's the corpse material I need? Without a corpse, am I going to explode air?"
"Rest assured, once the Formation is activated, corpses will naturally be delivered, guaranteed to be ample; just prepare to consume potions like crazy!"
Ying Xueji monitored the entire battlefield situation, then signaled number two beside her.
In her blood-red eyes, this time six blood lotuses emerged, and the power of the bloodline sigil began to rotate wildly.
Just as the humanoid Spider Monsters were about to rush into the examinees' ranks, the ground tremored.
The earth cracked open in countless places, and pillars made of bones and flesh erupted from the soil, drawn and influenced by some force, interweaving with each other.
A massive gray-black Formation instantly enveloped the entire battlefield space, trapping dozens of humanoid Spider Monsters and countless Bosses within it.
"Now!"
Number two spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, her eyes darkened, and she collapsed to the ground, caught in the arms of Ying Xueji.
"Shit! These pillars of bones and flesh can actually be used as corpses?!"
