Chapter 512 Collision
As a born predator.
The Black Spider possessed an innate sense of smell.
She could trace the signs of prey from details and detect potential dangers.
The army of undead before her gave her a sense of unease.
The thousand-strong Demon Beast army halted.
On the Black Spider's command, the Demon Beast army quickly stopped.
They assumed a state of alert.
The larger Demon Beasts stood at the forefront.
Their bodies leaned slightly forward, hind legs dug into the ground, firmly anchoring to the earth.
Simultaneously, some lowered their heads, revealing extremely sharp fangs.
Those with natural talents emanated mysterious and unknown energies from their bodies.
They prepared thoroughly to face the approaching undead army.
The Black Spider squinted her purple eyes, staring unblinkingly into the distance.
As the undead army gradually approached.
She finally saw the general situation clearly.
"The Nine-Headed Giant Python?"
"The Demon Moon Priestess?"
The Black Spider was surprised: "So, she really is leading the army back?"
Her alertness slightly eased.
Yet there was still some doubt in her eyes: "Why are there only two thousand undead left?"
"Did they suffer a great defeat?"
"Or did she leave part of the undead to guard and hurried back for the reward?"
The first thought emerged, only to be dismissed by herself.
A ten-thousand-strong undead army attacking a small Boundary Mountain.
And launching an attack so quickly that humans had no time to react.
The few soldiers on Boundary Mountain would be as easily cut down as cabbage, wouldn't they?
How could there be a chance of failure?
The only possibility was that she was hurrying back for the reward.
"This Demon Moon Priestess is afraid that our reinforcements might take some credit."
The Black Spider snorted in dissatisfaction.
She glanced at the Demon Moon Priestess again from afar.
Her clothes were as clean as new, her hair neat, nothing like someone who had fought a battle.
It was unimaginable how easy this battle must have been.
Suddenly.
The Black Spider noticed a few human clan men in black robes, beaten and bloodied, tied to the backs of the Demon Beasts at the rear.
She couldn't help but chuckle: "It's those little guys!"
"I wanted to chase them down and have some fun just now."
"I didn't expect the Demon Moon Priestess to run into them head-on."
"Ha ha ha, what a bunch of unlucky little devils."
Convinced it was her own suspicions.
The Black Spider waved her hand: "What are you still on alert for?"
"Our little ice beauty takes pride, don't provoke her."
"Don't start a real fight."
The Demon Beast army then lifted their guard.
The formation relaxed.
Pairs of eyes looked at the grand procession of the undead army approaching.
There was still some fear in their eyes.
This was the legendary Dead Spirit Army.
They were immortal.
As long as the death aura remained, they could continue fighting even if only bone fragments were left.
Plus, with the Demon Moon Priestess, intact undead could reawaken.
It could be said that the undead army was unbeatable.
Thinking of the humans on Boundary Mountain, fighting against such a ten-thousand-strong undead army.
They felt despair for the humans.
Unless they gathered all the Nine-Sect disciples.
And the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion stepped in.
Otherwise, they couldn't imagine how humans could win this battle.
Rumble—
The undead army soon drew within five hundred feet.
The Black Spider lay lazily atop the Demon Beast's back.
Too lazy to greet the other party.
She didn't care much for the handsome yet terribly talented Demon Priestess.
As fellow demons, the life of the Demon Moon Priestess was so dazzling that it hurt her eyes.
Four hundred feet.
The ground rumbled.
Still, no Demon Beast sensed anything unusual.
Three hundred feet.
They remained relaxed.
The Demon Moon Priestess was one of their own, the undead army even more so.
If two armies met, they would surely converge.
Two hundred feet.
The Black Spider raised an eyebrow: "What is the Demon Moon up to?"
"Why hasn't she ordered the undead to halt?"
"Is it because I didn't go forward to greet her, so she wants to teach me a lesson?"
At this distance.
It was enough for the Black Spider to see more details.
Her purple eyes, clustered with compound eyes, saw even more clearly.
She suddenly noticed.
Sitting atop the head of the Nine-Headed Giant Python, the Demon Moon.
Though her body sat stiffly.
She appeared uninjured.
Her posture was odd.
Her expression quite strange, eyes wide open, pupils darting around.
It seemed she was desperately trying to signal something.
The Black Spider's heart sank.
A very bad thought sprang up.
Could it be, the Demon Moon was being held hostage?
And the undead army was also under control?
"Enemy attack! Prepare!"
The Black Spider decisively shouted.
But the Demon Beast army fell into brief confusion.
They didn't receive the methodical military training that human soldiers did.
They were powerful beings temporarily extracted from the Demon Race.
Equated to a ragtag army.
The sudden command to prepare against the Demon Priestess made them skeptical.
Only a few beasts loyal to the Black Spider.
Immediately aimed their spears at the Demon Moon Priestess.
A moment of hesitation.
The two armies were less than a hundred feet apart!
For Demon Beasts with bodies ten feet tall.
That distance was but a few strides.
The undead army sensed something amiss.
They began to prepare.
And at that moment.
Jiang Fan's mind moved, and he shouted: "Charge!!"
Rumble—
Though fragile, the benefit of the undead army was their responsive nature.
At the command, they collectively accelerated.
The distance of a hundred feet was covered in an instant.
The slower-reacting undead army, more than half were caught unprepared.
A giant ten-foot Tiger Demon was hurriedly activating its talent.
Just as it emanated great energy.
Its vision darkened.
A colossal fifty-foot Barbaric Elephant, with long sharp tusks, pierced through its head and out of its bottom.
Then, with a forceful toss, it flung it behind.
Before the Tiger Demon could feel the pain, its vision darkened again.
A rotten Wolf Demon corpse bit down on its neck.
With a hard pull.
Its head was torn off.
The Tiger Demon stared wide-eyed, and the sight before it abruptly ceased.
Elsewhere.
A Fox Demon, already alert, eyes cold.
Suddenly unleashed several fox tails from behind against a twenty-foot bony giant lion charging in.
Like whips, they tightly wrapped the giant lion, halting its charge.
A sneer formed on its lips: "Just an undead…"
Splat—
Suddenly, it felt worlds spinning.
From its view, it saw itself rising higher and higher, flying ten feet high.
Vaguely, it saw a headless Fox Demon corpse.
Next to it stood a black-robed silver-haired man with folded arms.
But he…wasn't he tied on the Demon Beast's back?
As the head hit the ground heavily.
Its consciousness blurred.
Elsewhere.
A massive black giant ape walked upright.
With both hands, it grabbed a fifty-foot Barbaric Elephant tusk coming at it!
"Roar!"
Though it was just over ten feet tall.
Releasing black light from its body, its strength increased several folds.
With a power lift, it hoisted the Barbaric Elephant like a rock and fiercely smashed it backward.
In an instant.
Eight undead puppets were smashed to pieces.
A Demon Beast was unlucky, caught in the crossfire, smashed to death.
The two armies' torrents clashed.
Locked in an immediate stalemate.
The Black Spider stood on the Demon Beast's back.
Shouted out in shock and anger: "Demon Moon! You betrayed the Demon Race?"
The Demon Moon's cheeks were held from behind by Jiang Fan, forced to nod her head.
The Black Spider felt enraged and resentful.
She knew the Demon Moon was under control.
At this moment.
She heard a scream beside her.
One of her Fifth Level of Core Formation loyal beasts was trampled by three skeleton corpses.
Its belly was crushed, exposing bloody intestines.
"Damn it!"
The Black Spider roared in anger.
She opened her mouth, spitting.
A spider silk instantly penetrated the death aura of an undead puppet.
The silk twisted, shooting towards another undead puppet's death aura.
Suddenly!
Her vision darkened.
The tremendous snake tail of the Nine-Headed Giant Python, like a sky-pillar stone, slammed down hard.
A cold sneer echoed from behind the Demon Moon.
"Your opponent is here!"
