Recruit black physique to start practice in wasteland

Chapter 2591 A battle of wits and courage
The human-faced wasp desperately wanted to teleport over and kill this most threatening creature, but unfortunately, it could only dream about it.

Because the next moment, that extremely cold field instantly spread out.

No, it's not spreading, it's shifting. If it spreads, the power will inevitably weaken as the field expands.

However, the opponent's field strength did not weaken at all, clearly indicating that the area had been shifted under the opponent's control.

This intense cold had almost no binding force on it, but it did create some trouble.

Then, something even worse happened: a vast, barely perceptible net was closing in!

The existence of the giant net is extremely secretive, but what level of cultivation does the human-faced bee possess?
It keenly sensed the aura contained within the large net, even though that aura was so faint as to be almost nonexistent!
It roared in fury, "Spider, have you really decided to sell yourself out and betray us? You despicable and shameless wretch, a disgrace to the gods!"

"Unfortunately, trying to devour me is a pipe dream... Cultivators will not allow you to be distracted!"

The human-faced wasp was furious, and although it was wary of the large web, it was not yet helpless against it.

It doesn't interact with spiders much, but they have known each other for over ten thousand years and basically know what methods the other has.

Spider webs are indeed a real headache; it doesn't want to get involved with them at all.

However, the effectiveness of spider webs can be affected in certain situations, such as... in extremely cold environments.

Due to the extreme cold, spider silk becomes less sticky and more fragile, making it easier to break free.

Of course, the cutting power of the spider silk is hardly affected.

However, since the viscosity was poor, it was also easy to break. The human-faced wasp controlled a large number of clones and rushed towards the faintly visible large net.

But the next moment, something unexpected happened: the net was actually... very difficult to break through!
That's not a big deal, since the clone doesn't have the strength of the original body, and it turns out that the stickiness is indeed worse.

But this gave the bee a bad feeling: were these guys really that well prepared?

It wasn't wrong; after Han Li obtained the Three Lives Silk last time, he subconsciously wanted to seal it with cold energy.

However, he eventually realized that this might not be appropriate, so he changed the method of sealing.

When discussing the battle plan this time, Han Li specifically asked: Will my cold energy affect the spider silk?
That's why tactical discussions are so sensitive. When discussing cooperation, it's inevitable to expose each other's strengths and weaknesses.

In other words, only when Qu Zhenzun and Han Li vouched for Spider's credibility in this battle would the others agree.

When faced with this issue, the spider did not try to hide anything and frankly admitted that the cold air did indeed affect its silk.

However, it also stated that it can specifically create some special spider silk with strong cold resistance.

Before this battle, the spiders specially produced this batch of spider silk, and now it comes in handy.

This also proves that pre-battle tactical discussions are really necessary, as they can effectively improve teamwork and reduce mistakes.

The spider web was a bit unusual... The human-faced bee panicked: Was it trying to imprison me?
Generally speaking, even imprisonment may not kill it. Destroying a Nascent Soul Grand Lord is extremely difficult!
The problem is, that eye... the potential threat is just too great!

With the level of a human-faced bee, one can clearly sense that the black and white vortex in its eyes is frantically draining its life force!
What's even worse is that even if it's willing to take a certain risk and rush in to kill the opponent in its true form, it will still run into the spider web beforehand.

Not to mention, among the human cultivators on the other side, there is someone who actually carries the will of a Great Ruler of the human race!
The stiffness in my body and soul just now still lingers, and this feeling... is truly unbearable!

Regardless, the gamble was on! With a determined heart, the human-faced bee flapped its invisible wings and shot towards the eye like lightning!

The next moment, its body trembled slightly and it crashed into the invisible net.

Sure enough... it's quite sturdy!

But it didn't matter. It exerted its strength suddenly, using an overdraft method to unleash enormous energy in an instant, trying to break free from the spider web.

The next moment, several inconspicuous spatial fluctuations appeared nearby, again in locations devoid of spiritual energy.

However, the human-faced bee had already witnessed this bizarre spatial trap.

It had been infected before, but it simply hadn't taken it seriously.

It is now struggling to break free, and under the influence of the powerful energy fluctuations, this small fluctuation can be ignored.

However, the spider web was stronger than it had imagined, and despite its all-out struggle, it couldn't break free completely!

This is probably related to its stiff body, but it doesn't matter, as it has already broken off a lot of spider silk.

Just one more time and we should be able to achieve our goal!

However, just as it exerted its strength again, it was astonished to find that another net had wrapped around it!

This is the manifestation of a golden giant wheel; it is very clear that it is a large net with metallic properties.

Normally, it wouldn't pay attention to the vast net of Out-of-Body level energy.

However, with spider webs already entangled, this additional layer of webs—even if one manages to break free from the spider webs, this web will further hinder them.

If we can only delay for a few breaths until the spider web partially recovers, then things will be terrible!
That's how battles are; small obstacles may seem insignificant, but when they accumulate, their impact can be devastating.

Run! The human-faced wasp reacted instinctively—what dignity and dignity were worthless in the face of life and death.

However, it was also very experienced in combat. Instead of trying to escape with all its might, it split off 70% of its body and fled in the opposite direction!
The purpose of the remaining three entities is to hold back the spider web and metal mesh on the other side.

It needs to buy enough time for the 70% who have escaped, and also guard against any unforeseen events that might occur during the pursuit.

This is somewhat similar to the rearguard left behind on the battlefield—once you reach the Nascent Soul stage, you can truly be an army in one person.

These decisions were basically without any problems, but in the next instant, the seven-tenths of the original body that had just turned to fly away was instantly petrified!

"Wait...there are some behind us too?"

Behind them, there were not only faintly visible spider webs, but also dense metal meshes, numbering more than dozens.

"Mere illusion magic..." The human-faced bee reacted instantly, a hint of mockery appearing on its human-shaped head.

This species is also quite adept at illusions; for example, the Winged Flash ability itself is enhanced by illusions.

However, it also knew that spiders were also very skilled in illusions—it would be strange for a predator in the dark not to be proficient in illusions!
Compared to the other, the illusion magic of the human-faced bee is slightly inferior.

But that's not important. Now that it knows the spider is behind it, it just needs to break the illusion.

The human-faced bee remained almost transparent, but the next moment, a pair of enormous compound eyes suddenly appeared in the air.

"True vision... I mean, huh?"

Its compound eyes are aided by divine sense, and it is quite clear about the origins of spider illusions.

It's normal to suffer heavy losses when you're not on guard, but now it's a battlefield where attention is highly focused, and it's almost impossible to make a mistake!

However, despite its full perception, an unexpected event still occurred—the several large nets it saw actually existed.

Moreover, not only do they actually exist, but in many places that were originally empty, there are actually large nets hidden in the shadows.

This left the bee completely bewildered: How... how did this spider change its illusionary methods?
The next moment, it finally realized: this illusion wasn't just created by spiders, it probably also involved human cultivators!

For the human-faced wasp, the spider's illusion magic was already a headache, but when combined with human illusion magic, it became a complex problem.

The casting of illusions does not necessarily guarantee that one plus one equals or is greater than two. Some illusions, when combined, may produce the opposite effect.

However, if the two parties have communicated beforehand and avoided potential offsetting factors, it is perfectly normal for one plus one to be greater than two.

The next moment, the human-faced bee's divine sense swept out fiercely—at this moment, there was really no room for wishful thinking!

With such all-out efforts, some large nets have indeed disappeared.

However, its intuition told it that the remaining net might not be real, and what had disappeared did not mean it did not exist!

This is the terrifying aspect of layered illusions: it's better to trust your intuition than to trust what you perceive!
The human-faced bee is not unintelligent; given the opportunity to perceive it carefully, it is confident that it can distinguish all illusions.

Unfortunately, time is not on its side. If it doesn't run now, it will be very difficult to run away!
Realizing this, its seven-tenths of its original form split again, transforming into four illusory figures that scattered and flew away.

Three of them, each occupying one-tenth of the main body, fled in three different directions.

This is a true split of the body. As long as one can escape through one of the rifts and recuperate for a while, it will not be difficult to return to the peak.

No matter how sophisticated the opponent's illusion is, the range that can be sealed is always limited, and it is impossible for them to be completely unable to escape.

The largest one, which accounted for 40% of the main body, actually rolled back and rushed towards the 30% of the main body again.

The human-faced bee was still somewhat unconvinced and wanted to try to see if it could forcefully break through.

In fact, it believes that its greatest advantage right now is its individual combat strength.

If we're just comparing this, it's even confident that it could take on a spider one-on-one, and the probability of winning wouldn't be low!

The human-faced bee knew very well that the other party had reached the half-step Nascent Soul realm many years earlier than it, and had always been an existence that it looked up to.

But now, it's distracted; it's just one last step away from being completely finished.

So it's not afraid of a one-on-one fight, and... even if it loses, the opponent won't be able to stop it!
The human-faced wasp believed that this was its greatest advantage, and since it was a battle, the opponent would definitely try to reduce its advantage.

In other words, it strongly suspects that the opponent's aggressive sneak attack at the beginning and the illusion now are all part of a plan.

The enemy's objective is very likely to make us give up our original advantage, lose our will to fight, and scatter and flee.
