Mu Nujiao, who was standing nearby, also looked puzzled. Lin Chen, seeing that the two women showed no abnormalities, whispered, "Something is indeed wrong. Everyone's inner desires seem to have been infinitely magnified. I suspect it's some kind of special demon at work."
Mu Nujiao asked, "Then why are we fine?"
"Our mental force is higher than that demon's Spirit, so it can't affect us at all!" Lin Chen explained.
Needless to say, Lin Chen's mental force level had already reached nine, placing him in the top echelon of mental force in the Full Magic World.
Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao had both consumed Immortal Herbs that enhance mental force.
Although their mental force wasn't as high as Lin Chen's, it had reached level seven, so the devil spider couldn't influence the two women's minds.
Upon hearing this, the two women suddenly understood and grasped the key. Mu Ningxue said, "This can't go on. I feel like many people are being affected."
"Why don't we go and eliminate that devil spider? If this continues, forget about the mission, probably only a few people will be able to return safely!" Mu Nujiao sighed and suggested.
Lin Chen didn't hesitate and immediately said, "Alright, let's go out and look for it!"
...
The entire desolate city fell into the terrifying seven minutes of midnight silence, and the faint, unsettling cries from afar always made people more uneasy.
The starlight was cold, illuminating the quiet city's chaotic outlines in the photos. Ordinary people truly wouldn't dare to venture out of the relatively safe church at midnight...
Lin Chen led the two women to a marshy area, where a pile of eerie white bones suddenly appeared beneath their feet, so scattered that it was impossible to tell what creature they belonged to.
"Something's wrong here. That devil spider must be hiding here!" Mu Ningxue said, looking at the pool not far away.
"Ice Domain - Cover!"
Mu Ningxue's icy voice rang out, and the Ice elemental star map instantly lit up. Ice Domain quickly covered the pool, and in an instant, the surface of the pool was almost frozen, clearly reflecting the cold starlight.
Many transparent small devil spiders crawled out of the pool. Lin Chen didn't hesitate and directly used spatial force to eliminate all of them.
"Boom..."
Just then, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the pool. Instantly, all the frost condensed in the pool shattered, turning into ice crystals that scattered across the sky. The icy pool water also churned up a large white wave.
At the same time, countless small devil spiders, like those before, densely scurried in the watery areas, scattering in fright.
From within the waves, a monstrously hideous black head emerged. Its rows of eyes glowed with an evil red light, fixated on Lin Chen and the two women.
Just the devil spider's head alone was half the size of a room, with eyes densely packed between its head and face, looking like a bizarre mask, distorted with various chaotic flesh patterns.
Its body was primarily composed of its head, while its torso was noticeably smaller.
But what was most striking were its eight sharp blades, capable of easily piercing a creature's chest, covered in dense, bristly hairs, making them truly terrifying.
"It's a Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider)!"
"Ice Lock - Ice Chain!"
When the devil spider revealed its true form, Mu Ningxue didn't hesitate and once again lit up the Ice elemental star map. Intense coldness emanated from her, and instantly, the entire pool turned into frost. Two ice soul chains then flew towards the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider). In the blink of an eye, the ugly Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider) was tightly bound by the ice soul chains.
"Forest of Kun - Binding!"
Mu Nujiao followed closely, lighting up her Plant elemental star map. Dense vines grew around the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider), forming a plant cage. The tenacious vines wrapped around the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider)'s body.
Facing the attacks from Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue, the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider) suddenly became agitated. Its eight sharp long legs waved rapidly, unleashing eight air blades that struck the vines and ice locks.
"Bang bang bang..." The surrounding vines and ice soul chains immediately shattered into pieces. Mu Ningxue couldn't help but take a step back before steadying herself.
Compared to Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao remained in her original position. A faint green light glowed around her body. As magic energy was continuously released, the vines on the ground suddenly stood upright. The originally broken vines grew rapidly at an extremely fast speed, then extended towards the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider)'s body, tightly Binding the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider) in circles with tenacious vines.
The Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider), trapped again, suddenly paused, but quickly waved its sharp long legs.
However, this time it didn't go as it wished. No matter how the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider) waved its long legs, it simply couldn't break free.
The vines broke and regrew, their numbers increasing rather than decreasing. The countless tenacious vines made the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider) incredibly frustrated, forcing it to wave its sharp long legs even more frantically, but no matter how frantic it became, it couldn't destroy the vines.
"Mind Control - Mind Sword!"
Just then, Lin Chen's voice suddenly rang out. Lin Chen's body radiated intense spatial force, and dozens of invisible long swords flew towards the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider).
The next moment, the invisible spatial swords, as if equipped with a targeting system, easily passed through the dense gaps in the vines and pierced into the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider)'s body.
The Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider) immediately showed signs of pain. Its eight terrifying long legs also stopped waving. The Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider)'s massive body moved slightly a few times before becoming motionless, standing in place.
"Bang..."
With a loud thud, the Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider) crashed to the ground, completely losing its life.
"Dead?"
Mu Nujiao asked uncertainly, simultaneously retracting the vines. Although she knew Lin Chen was strong, she hadn't expected him to defeat this terrifying Gu Huo Mozhu (Bewitching/Enchanting Demon Spider) with just one move. The difference was evident.
"It should be dead. Sister Mu, your Plant elemental magic is truly a BUG!" Mu Ningxue said enviously. While the control abilities of her Ice elemental magic, which excels in control, and Plant elemental magic were originally comparable, Mu Nujiao's Plant elemental magic possessed powerful vitality and regeneration, making her Plant elemental magic a BUG-like existence.
"It's alright!" Mu Nujiao said shyly. Facing Mu Ningxue's praise, she seemed a bit unnatural. The complicated relationship between the three made Mu Nujiao feel at a loss.
"Xue'er's Ice elemental magic is also very strong. It's just that you didn't use high-level magic just now, otherwise, it wouldn't have been my turn to act!" Lin Chen said with a smile.
Mu Ningxue rolled her eyes at Lin Chen and said, "Good that you know. Didn't we agree before not to use high-level magic?"
Lin Chen gave an awkward smile and said, "Hey, what we talked about was just our competition! Next time you face a devil spider, don't hold back! In the wild, safety is the most important thing."
Mu Ningxue snorted coldly and whispered, "Got it!"
