Chapter 60 The situation is serious

"The defense of these monsters is so strong? No wonder their strength is generally above that of humans."

The eight legs of the human-faced wolf spider were extremely flexible, like eight sharp spears piercing Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen dodged quickly. At the same time, a green shadow appeared. Zhao Kuo had fallen into a coma at this time, so Zhou Chen didn't need to worry too much.

The moment the green snake's phantom appeared, it rushed towards the human-faced wolf spider. The human-faced wolf spider wanted to smash the green snake's phantom, but its attack was dodged by the green snake, and at the same time, the green snake twisted its body and entangled the human-faced wolf spider tightly.

At this time, the power of the green snake phantom reached eight hundred and forty-five, which had exceeded that of the human-faced wolf spider. The human-faced wolf spider was unable to break free for a while. Seeing this, Zhou Chen held the Black Abyss and slashed at his body.

However, his defense was too high, and Zhou Chen was unable to break it. At this time, a strange smile appeared on the face of the human-faced wolf spider, and then a fishy smell came out. Zhou Chen shouted and quickly dodged.

The moment he dodged, a big net came towards him. Zhou Chen swung his sword and chopped on the net, causing bursts of black smoke to emerge. Zhou Chen did not dare to be careless and quickly retreated again.

At this time, the body of the human-faced wolf spider began to split into countless small wolf spiders. After avoiding the green snake's restraint, it condensed into a human-faced wolf spider again.

Then it ran away. The distance that the green snake can leave the body is limited. It will dissipate on its own after a certain distance. Zhou Chen had no choice but to give up and let it go.

Zhou Chen came to Zhao Kuo and took a look. At this time, Zhao Kuo was wrapped in the spider web like a dumpling. Zhou Chen wanted to help him tear open the web, but he was afraid of the poison in the spider web and did not dare to do it.

Zhou Chen stood there thinking for a long time before he came up with a solution. He raised his left hand and several vines broke through the ground and directly wrapped around the spider web. Then they pulled hard in several different directions. After a few seconds of stalemate, the spider web broke.

Zhou Chen quickly picked up Zhao Kuo and took him to a villager's house to stay overnight. The spider web only had a paralyzing effect and was not poisonous. After resting for two hours, Zhao Kuo slowly opened his eyes.

"Where am I?"
"You just fainted. This is your fellow villager's home."

Only then did he remember what happened today, "Where is that human-faced wolf spider?"
"Oh, don't mention it, he ran away."

Tonight Zhou Chen and his companion did not return to Qinghua County but stayed at a fellow villager's home. The fellow villager not only did not despise them but welcomed them instead.

After asking, they found out that a strange noise was heard in the village every night. The noise sounded very sad and scared them so much that they couldn't sleep well for several days.

After hearing what their fellow villager said, Zhou Chen and the other fell into deep thought, "Could it be the human-faced wolf spider?"
Perhaps because they were frightened during the day, no miserable sounds were heard that night. Although nothing strange happened in Ping'an Village, a big event occurred in Qinghua County.

The patients who were still conscious in the county government office suddenly became worse, and the black lines on their bodies grew wildly. In just one hour, all the patients in the cell turned into humanoid monsters.

After transforming into monsters, their strength increased greatly, and ordinary cells could no longer restrain them. Fifty or sixty humanoid monsters broke through the cell door and rushed out of the cell.

The constables in charge of guarding the prison were also injured by these humanoid monsters, and some were even killed directly. Fortunately, Lord Xia, who was guarding the yamen, took timely action to kill the monsters, so no major disaster was caused.

However, even though Lord Xia was blessed with the luck of the empire, his strength was ultimately limited and he was unable to kill all of them. A small number of monsters still escaped from the county government office.

When Zhou Chen and the others returned the next day, the city was in chaos. Many people were injured by monsters and poisoned. Lord Xia was leading people to search for the monsters that had escaped from the county government. As for those who had just been infected with the virus, he had no time to take care of them.

As soon as Zhao Kuo came back, he joined the demon-killing team, while Zhou Chen went back to the county government to make sure Leng Yiyao was okay before coming out to help. After a day of hard work, all the remaining demons in the city were finally eliminated. Although all the humanoid demons had been eliminated, after one night, one-third of the people in the city had been scratched or even killed by the demons.

Lord Xia brought his men to Doctor Hua to ask about the antidote, but Doctor Hua still had no progress and they still had to get the poison of the human-faced wolf spider.

Lord Xia immediately looked at Zhou Chen and said, "Xiaochen, I have to guard Qinghua County and cannot leave. Now it's up to you."

"Lord Xia, don't worry, just leave this matter to me, but please take good care of my wife."

"You can rest assured about this. If Miss Leng is missing a single hair when you come back, I will cut off her head and give it to you."

Afterwards, Zhou Chen went back to the county government office, said goodbye to Leng Yiyao and left the city again. Although he knew it was very dangerous this time, Leng Yiyao had no choice but to let Zhou Chen go for the sake of the people of the entire county.

After Zhou Chen left, Lord Xia specially arranged for people to guard outside Leng Yiyao's room day and night. At the same time, Xia Rong also lived with Leng Yiyao to ensure Leng Yiyao's absolute safety.

After leaving the city, Zhou Chen first came to Old Li in Ping'an Village. Zhou Chen came to the entrance of the cellar again. At this time, the entrance of the cellar was in ruins. It used to be the nest of the human-faced wolf spider, but after the last incident, the human-faced wolf spider had obviously given up this place.

However, the possibility that he would come back could not be ruled out, so Zhou Chen decided to wait here for another night. As a result, after one night, no trace of the human-faced wolf spider was found, and the entire Ping'an Village seemed to have returned to normal.

Zhou Chen left Ping'an Village early the next morning. During this period, Zhou Chen basically ate very little meat. His current reinforcement points have only accumulated to 19.6, and he is still 0.4 away from a breakthrough.

Zhou Chen followed the direction in which the human-faced wolf spider had fled. According to the map, the direction in which he fled was deep in the mountains, where there was no village.

However, now that he was sure that the human-faced wolf spider had not returned, Zhou Chen had no choice but to chase it into the depths of the mountains. Although there was thick snow on the mountain, the human-faced wolf spider did not walk on the ground when it escaped, but shuttled back and forth in the trees.

Zhou Chen searched back and forth among the big trees at the foot of the mountain and finally found a trace on a tree.

I saw a small hole on a tree trunk. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all. There was nothing wrong with having a small hole on the tree, but the area around the hole was slightly black, which was obviously caused by the erosion of a powerful venom.

Therefore, Zhou Chen concluded that this was the trace left by the human-faced wolf spider. Zhou Chen chased in one direction, and after crossing several large trees, he found a small hole.

Zhou Chen then followed the traces and chased for two miles before he saw rows of footprints on the snow, spider footprints.

"It seems that the human-faced wolf spider let down its guard after running here." This made Zhou Chen's pursuit much easier. Zhou Chen followed the footprints all the way and found that the footprints actually made a big circle in the mountain and then spread down the mountain.

"It seems that this guy still can't let go of the human world." After another two hours of chasing, Zhou Chen arrived at a small mountain village. The village was very small. Zhou Chen stood in the distance and took a rough look. There should be only more than fifty households.

Zhou Chen didn’t have a map and didn’t know what the village was called. After entering the village, Zhou Chen suddenly felt a headache, but it only lasted for a moment.
